About this spot
Nonkiya serves up the kind of hearty, no-frills pork cutlet that defines Nakasu's street food scene without the tourist trap markup. Expect thickly breaded tonkatsu served with a house-made cabbage slaw and a side of pickled vegetables to cut through the richness. The counter seating offers a front-row view of chefs flipping massive cuts of pork in a bustling, authentic local atmosphere.
