Gorō

Situated in a basement just steps from the east exit of Omori Station, Goro no Tonkatsu is an unpretentious, dependable destination whenever you crave freshly fried meat. At lunchtime, the kitchen offers filling meals centered around the 1,000 yen range, including the classic tonkatsu set with its crisp, easy-eating crust, minced-meat menchi-katsu sets, katsudon, and katsuni simmered with broth and egg. If you want to savor richer, savory pork fat, you can choose the highlighted Kirishima pork loin cutlet, or turn to tender fillet hire-katsu instead.

Furnished with both counter and table seating, the space welcomes solo diners to drop by and focus on their meal without feeling out of place. You can customize a set meal by adding fried shrimp or a bite-sized fillet cutlet, and in the evening, sipping a bottled beer or sour while waiting for hot cutlets makes for an easygoing visit.
