Very authentic pork cutlet. Was just in Japan and very similar. When I’m craving for it I know where to go. Definitely will go again. Highly recommended
I just hate any soggy bogged down greasy kasu and this restaurant satisfied me n served me with crispy kasu on a wired rack in my plate. Only thing I regret was that they did not serve chicken breast and most importantly servers didn't smile... well, I suppose servers don't want to be there on New Year's day...

Wako Donkatsu offers the best chicken katsu, according to many customers, and has remained a favorite for years. The donkatsu is juicy with the perfect crispiness, and the curry is savory. The pork donkatsu is highly recommended, with some customers preferring it over the chicken katsu. The dark grey noodles (soba) are firm, and the sauce for them is delicious. During summer, many enjoy the regular donkatsu with soba, while in cooler weather, the katsu set with udon or curry donkatsu with rice is a popular choice. This meal comes with plenty of cabbage salad topped with a tangerine vinaigrette, a tempura shrimp, and a mashed potato ball karage. The cheese donkatsu is a bit cheesy but also recommended. One of the favorite aspects is the Wako sauce with toasted sesame, which enhances the meal. The portions are generous, and the decor is excellent. Customers enjoy crushing sesame while waiting for sauce, and the chilled barley water is a hit. The service is always professional and efficient, with a tip to not annoy servers, especially during break time. Overall, Wako Donkatsu is a great place to enjoy tonkatsu and soba noodles, with a desire to return and try more from the menu, despite rising prices.
