Watonkatsusen

Very glad I had the opportunity to eat good pork Katsu before I left japan. Very tender and crunchy with a good balance of thinly shaved lettuce on the side to make you feel somewhat healthy. As some have mentioned it is quite pricy — I think I paid the equivalent of 17 US dollars for a small Katsu. However, it is quality and in an airport so the price doesn’t surprise me.

Located on the mezzanine level of the Haneda International Airport departure’s level behind the gift shops on restaurant row. We were looking for Tonki (Katsu restaurant) by the Meguro stop of the subway in town but never found it. On our trip to Tokyo we had everything from ramen to udon to tempura to Wagyu but missed out on the Katsu until the night we were going to depart Japan for LA.
The display looked good the set up looked even better! The cook made your Katsu pork right in front of you with real bread shavings for the batter (make sure they seat you at the bar). Refer to my pictures. The pork was fresh, they cabbage was thinly sliced and the salad dressing was delicious! Couple all that with the yummy Katsu sauce and clam miso soup. It was a perfect dinner before a 9 hour flight back home. The cabbage and rice were also AYCE. Service was great as the servers were very attentive.
With any airport restaurant, the prices are expensive but the food and service was perfect!

My first time taking a flight from Haneda airport and find it a very nice user-​friendly airport. Most restaurants are located on the top floor, including this Katsusen. The limited menu indicates a higher price than similar restaurants outside of airport (to be understood). The food quality was ok, pork tenderloin a bit more fatty than preferred. And they only have 1 choice of salad dressing for the shredded cabbage.
