Tonkichi is a long-standing restaurant in Ngee Ann City and is renowned for its deep-fried pork tonkatsu. With a typical light-wood decor, it exudes efficiency and neatness.
Specialising in limited choices, it caters to indecisive diners like us. Each main dish centres around deep-fried options such as pork, chicken, and select seafood and includes miso soup, appetiser, and free-flowing rice and cabbage.
We recommend the Rosu katsu set with its juicy and fatty bits that nevertheless feature tender meat.
