Imakatsu

This is the best katsu I’ve ever had. I’d end the review here, but that isn’t how Unilocal works.
Everything tastes amazing: I tried the pork katsu, chicken tender fillet, as well as the cream croquette. This place is known for their chicken katsu, but the pork katsu is more «traditional.» There’s two versions of the pork katsu, a fattier version and a leaner filet. According to my Japanese hosts, true katsu fans go for the fat, because good katsu is distinguished by the fat. Either way, it’s some pretty tasty katsu! Your meal is served with rice and cabbage, which I’m told is to help your stomach digest all the fried food.
Most of the dishes here are deep-​fried, yet the place doesn’t smell or seem greasy at all. Somehow they keep it well contained and the interior atmosphere is calm, classy, and clean.
Come by for amazing katsu in an elegant environment!

Chicken fillet is just perfect to me.
Pork katsu was almost perfect but we wonder if it’s well cooked inside because it looked little red and I got no problem in my stomach though.
One of the best katsu restaurant in Tokyo so far

It is convenient in location close to Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line Roppongi Station exit which is also its very first restaurant branch. We went here to eat during lunch time and it’s not that crowded or overhyped, a little understated I guess. The menu book is only in kanji for lunch accordingly but the server seems to understand what I said and serves me two recommendations: chicken tender fillet & premium pork.
The recommended menu a.k.a the star of the day is of course the Sasamikatsu which is the chicken tender fillet. It’s perfectly cooked, juicy and delicious. It’s probably the best chicken tender I’ve tasted in my whole life and I’m not even exaggerating at all. However, the most expensive priced pork katsu there is not that impressive to me. I honestly think this ‘bib gourmand’ restaurant is supposed to be awarded with at least 1 michelin star instead (maybe when they can serve better pork as well but I’m extremely contented with the chicken tender anyway). Servers are very friendly although they don’t speak english at all.

A bit tricky to find. I went around 10:00 pm on a Monday and there was one other pair of diners.
I was offered an English menu and the server had reasonably good English skills. Great chicken katsu as others mentioned, highly recommended.

六本木のとんかつの有名店です。鳥ササミも有名とのことですが、同じくらい有名なロースカツを注文。使用されている大和豚は甘いという売り文句と共に。甘さをちゃんと味わうために、まずは何もつけずにいただきました。本当に溢れる肉汁が甘いです。次回は鳥ササミに挑戦したいです。

My wife and I were looking for an authentic off the beaten path Japanese restaurant for dinner and found Imakatsu. It’s on the ground level down an alley way not too far from Roppongi Hills. Just follow Unilocal to their map location and look for a large blue fabric sign with the Kanji that matches their listing. I uploaded a photo to help plus it is just four characters.
I am pleased to report they are no longer English unfriendly as a previous reviewer noted. We were greeted and shown to our table with broken but quite understandable English. The tables in the back, where we were seated, require one to remove his or hers shoes not so if seated towards the front. We were given English menus to review (no pictures) but several good photos already on Unilocal to help. We both picked the three piece chicken fillet meal that comes with plenty of the tenderest and lightest chicken I have ever experienced. Very good indeed.
The meal starts with a bowl of «cabbage» but I would be more inclined to call it shredded lettuce. It was not bitter at all like cabbage can be. There is a wonderful peanut sauce on the table to pour over the cabbage. Our server was helpful and pointed this out to us along with setting up the other sauce on the table with salt for our chicken. The cabbage and peanut sauce was so enjoyable we asked for and got seconds at no charge.
Along with the chicken fillet we were also served white steamed rice and miso soup. We had a table full of food at this point and worked hard to polish it all off. I would have hated to leave anything this good behind.
Service was great and the noise level in the place was moderate at worse but never loud. The cook sometimes yells at the server I guess for when an order is ready. I think we were the only non locals in the place this evening but at no time felt uncomfortable or not welcomed. My wife and I were in and out of here for less then ¥5,000 including one beer each.

This place is not english friendly. With that said, the reception guy was especially helpful with his limited English. I pointed at the pork from the wall pictures since it looked good and is what I’m familiar with. He also suggested that I add chicken which is what the place is known for.
Turns out, the chicken was probably the best chicken katsu I’ve ever had. It had a melt in your mouth quality as soon as you take a bite. The pork I thought was good but not exceptional. The chicken really makes the meal. Make sure you use the dipping sauces on the side.
If you are budget conscious, make sure not to get both chicken and pork because they count as two sets and cost 3000Y in total.

This place specializes in katsu. I thought the food was delicious. I got a katsu curry (mini size) and it was delicious with the rice. I don’t usually eat that much food but it was really good, and I could probably even eat a regular size just fine.
The Japanese sesame sauce that’s on the side, for your cabbage, was also delicious.
The meal itself was only about 1000 yen or so.
