Maisen
Maisen Review
Converted from a sento (public bathhouse), Maisen still has the old high ceiling (built for ventilation) and the original signs instructing bathers where to change. Bouquets of seasonal flowers help transform the large, airy space into a pleasant dining room. Maisen's specialty is the tonkatsu set: tender, juicy, deep-fried pork cutlets served with a spicy sauce, shredded cabbage, miso soup, and rice. A popular alternative is the Suruga-zen set, a main course of fried fish served with sashimi, soup, and rice. There are no-smoking rooms upstairs.

jwobkk, from New York, NY
I was told this was the best tonkatsu restaurant in Tokyo, not sure if it was the best ever but it was good. I enjoyed the sauces. Makes a good fuel stop while walking through Omotesando and Harajuku.
