Finding Tonkatsuya was a challenge. Even when we were told that it's in Palm Tower, we had to look once over because it's at the basement. But it was worth the hassle as it's a gem restaurant in Makati.
The place was very unassuming; only manga series adorned their walls. Their patrons were mostly Japanese. Didn't put my expectations high even though it's included in Spot.ph's Top 10 Tonkatsu in Manila.

Upon order, we were served with cold tea. The usual set would include miso soup plus in Tonkatsuya, there's a bean sprout side dish and a bowl of rice. First time I went there, I ordered Cheese Katsu Set at Php 260 because I was craving for something like Ichiro's in Taft. Funny thing is, their cheese katsu was regular tonkastu topped with melted cheese. Ichiro's was better of course that it melts in the mouth. But Tonkatsuya's wasn't bad either; it was acceptably good.

Yes it was that I visited again. Second time around, ordered Tonkatsu Set at Php 220. It wasn't as soft but it's tasty and not so oily. A good way to end it was their sliced cabbage (not unlimited, of course). Just had to pay additional for Japanese mayo or Kewpie sauce.

In my two visits, walked out full and happy. Cheap yet good food. Nice combination. Service time was also acceptable for a 1-hour break.
