Specialist tonkatsu restaurant at The Star Vista serving golden, crisp breaded pork cutlets.
Imakatsu is a Japanese tonkatsu specialist at The Star Vista that takes its breaded pork cutlets seriously — each piece is coated in fine panko and deep-fried to a golden crisp while keeping the meat juicy inside. The signature rosu katsu (loin) and hire katsu (fillet) are served with shredded cabbage, rice and house-made tonkatsu sauce that balances sweet, savoury and tangy.The set meals include unlimited rice and cabbage refills, making it a satisfying option for bigger appetites. Beyond the classic pork cutlets, the menu offers prawn fry, oyster katsu and chicken katsu for variety. The Star Vista outlet provides a comfortable, slightly upscale setting compared to typical food court fare.
For a proper tonkatsu fix with perfectly crispy breading and tender pork, Imakatsu at The Star Vista is a cut above.
