Tare Katsu Restaurant

We walked by this Tare Katsu Restaurant while in Kyoto many times thinking, how tasty their food looked!

So finally we made it and yes it was pretty awesome! If you like Tonkatsu, a Japanese style breaded and deep-fried pork cutlet, then you will love this!

At this Tare Katsu Restaurant, their specialty is Niigata cutlet, a very thin pork cutlet. Learn more about it from the Tare Katsu Restaurants Homepage here: http://tarekatsu.jp/what/ But they also serve a Prawn version of it and you can get combos too!

The place itself is spacious and stylish, it can get a bit busy around lunch hour as well as in the evenings, but the wait is not long and worth it.

As with many Japanese Restaurants, they focus on one thing, with a few sides and set-meal options. As we felt like some extra vegetables today, we got the pork katsu and vegetable don for 880¥. Which was Pork cutlet and vegetable on top of rice. It was so good! With the pork cut so thin it really adds another dimension to it. Plus it was filling. You may think it does not look crazy big, but when you get through half of it you will start to feel pretty full..

We would definitely come back and actually while writing this review, we were surprised to find out that they have Restaurants in many different cities, including Tokyo! Yay!
