Had their tonkatsu and soba noodles and was very pleased with it. The portion size was very nice and it was nicely prepared. I would definitely return and try other items on the menu

Wako is a good place for large portions of katsu in Koreatown and thankfully, they have a parking lot just a door down from them. I tried their katsu combo, which comes with a shrimp tempura, potato ball, your choice of cutlet, and your choice of noodle. I opted for the pork katsu and udon. Everything tasted good and I especially enjoyed all the fried items, which were crispy and not too oily. All the fried for is heavy, so I'm not sure I needed the side udon even though I enjoyed it. Before your meal, they bring you a mortar and pestle filled with sesame seeds that you can grind yourself. This makes the sauce feel a bit fresher and is also fun to do.

If you face the building, there should be parking on the left side or right next to a shop called Moe Moe alternation. I love coming here for my solo dates, it's a nice place to eat at because the ambiance is so relaxing and satisfying. I feel safe eating here alone ((-: My friend ordered that chicken Katsu and his portions were huge !! I was happy with my pork Katsu still :D the prices make my bank account happy !! Thank you for the barely teas The service is pleasant

Food:5/5Comments: perfection. Service is excellent, the atmosphere is well, and the food is very delicious. The tonkatsu was perfectly breaded and fried. I spent ~18 so pretty good value.

Our favorite place in LA for Donkatsu!Several options to choose from including beef, chicken, pork with toppings such as daikon or curry. There are also some ramen and rice dishes here as well.

Japanese tonkatsu and curry styleThe spicy udon... I think it tasted like ketchup.There was a wait during lunch time, but they seated us quickly and served us.
I had the tonkatsu (pork) cutlet.It is probably one of the better tonkatsu places around Korea Town.$16.95 for the cutlet, cabbage, rice and miso.. that’s pretty reasonable for what you get.?

The meat was a little dry, but it had been properly prepared and was tender and delicious. I think it was thinner and flatter compared to Japanese tonkatsu. The taste was good. It had been about three months since I came to America, and when I started missing tonkatsu, I went to eat it. Some people may be a little disappointed that the cutlet is not as thick or juicy compared to the cutlets at Wako Yamaisen in Japan, but I think it is quite delicious compared to other Japanese restaurants in the United States. . The staff's service was also very good, so I ended up tipping them more than usual.I thought the zaru soba was a little different. The soup was normal, but the noodles were very different, with a slippery texture between soba and ramen, or between soba and udon, and the soba flavor was weak. Maybe it's Korean style soba.The store clerk is Korean and when you enter the store, he says, "Anyohaseyo~." It's in Koreatown, so I guess it's a substitute for "Welcome" lolOverall it was a very good lunch. Although it is not a super authentic cutlet, it is a restaurant where you can eat very delicious Japanese food. It's worth going.

The woman serving the hall is friendly every time I go, and the taste seems to double. I recommend the soba combo.
