Imakatsu Tanjong Pagar - 7 Wallich St

Enjoyed the premium pork katsu. The mentailko side, a very small portion, was ok. Like the huge cabbage salad that comes with the meals. From an earlier visit, the premium pork katsu don set (pork loin 180g) was really good.

SG has a couple of good Tonkatsu places and I’d say this is one of them! The tonkatsu was crispy but doesn’t feel too oily ? It’s about $18++ for the basic set that comes with rice miso soup and salad

Nice place for an informal tonkatsu meal. The pork is nicely marinated and the fry is just right. The unagi is also very well done. Go for the set meals for between 2-4 pax.

Ordered their fried oysters with beer set for $14. The oysters were small and quite flavorless. And also ordered their Premium Hokkaido katsu ($23). omg. It was soooo oily. I had had so many katsu, this one sits right at the bottom. And the sesame seeds came in a sauce dish. Overall disappointing. Will not return. I guess when the work crowds are back, if you are not fussy and there are long lines elsewhere, this may be your choice. If i were to base this rating purely on food, it gets a one star. Here it gets two stars because the price is reasonable and quite in line with the market.

My husband and I decided to pop by for lunch as we were in the vicinity, and we were pleasantly surprised by the experience. We had the cheese pork katsu, the mentaiko pork katsu and the fried oysters. The mentaiko katsu was really tender and the mentaiko paste was absolutely heavenly. It was savoury with hint of sweetness, with absolutely no fishy aftertaste. The cheese pork katsu was generously stuffed with stretchy cheese and went very well with the plum sauce provided. I'm not a fan of oysters because of the fishy and metallic aftertaste, but an exception can be made for the oysters at Imakatsu. I'm not sure if it's because of how fresh the oysters were or because of the preparation or cooking technique, but the oysters here did not have that dreaded fishy and metallic flavour. The meat itself was sweet and it complemented the crisp panko very well.

My son Jonathan told us he tried this place with his girlfriend a few weeks back, and it was Good! Yesterday we all drove down for dinner there. Interesting that the place is called Imakatsu, sorta has a 'I'm-a-katsu' ring to it. Jokes and puns aside, we weren't disappointed. The service was immaculately good, and the staff were quick with their recommendations for dinner meals, and spot on too! The dons my wife, mum and son took were brimming with flavour (the sauce), and everything inside is tender and juicy. There was a sweet, tangy, salty flavour to the broth, and the chicken cutlets melt in the mouth! Mum's Unagi was grilled perfectly, and seasoned likewise. Perfect except the only gripe was 1 piece in her bowl had quite a few fine bones and a little tricky to down for dinner. My Katsu was proof that this was indeed a Katsu joint. I've always loved mine in Ma Maison, or Tampopo, but with this experience, I have another place to enjoy one of my favourite Japanese foods! Imagine, crispy, juicy, tender, without any of that porky taste, and you know what I mean eh? Next time I crave any pork cutlets, I'm-Gonna-Come-Here?

Great Food. the ambience is fantastic as well. Ordered the Chicken Katsu Set. A friend ordered the Pork Katsu Don. Chicken is lightly breaded and has a great texture to it. It was juicy and very well seasoned. Would come back to try the Don Free refill for the cabbage slaw as well.

Quite expensive for average food. The fried pork katsu was tender but still a bit dry. The curry sauce a little too sweet and didn't have a spicy kick at all. The tonkatsu sauce was thin. Overall, still edible but not my style at all. The chicken oyako don had similar issues... Kinda bland and slightly dry chicken pieces. Miso soup was all right. Really not worth the $20-30 per person.
