About Ton & Co

Windsor locals come here for thick-cut, golden-crusted tonkatsu served with Tokyo-grade precision. Diners pick their cut—fattier ribeye or leaner striploin—fried in light panko to keep the interior succulent. Regulars treat the melt-in-the-mouth ox tongue skewers as mandatory table tax, balanced by crisp shredded cabbage, Nagoya dark miso sauce, and bowls of hot rice.

  • Cut-Specific Tonkatsu: Pork cutlets arrive in hefty 250–300g portions, letting diners choose between rich ribeye or leaner striploin.
  • Melt-in-the-Mouth Ox Tongue: Slow-cooked, seasoned skewers consistently surprise first-timers with an ultra-tender texture.
  • Generous Sharing Plates: Hefty katsu platters pair easily with fried oysters and prawn sets for group sharing.

Why Dine at Ton & Co

Why diners choose Ton & Co for authentic Japanese tonkatsu, specialty skewers, and generous shared dining

  • Crispy and Succulent Tonkatsu Execution

    Pork cutlets are carefully prepared with dry-aging and precision frying to achieve a golden, shatteringly crisp panko exterior around juicy, tender meat.

    perfectly cooked with a golden, crispy coating while the inside stays tender, juicy, and full of flavour

  • Steakhouse-Style Cut Customization

    Diners can select between ribeye and striploin cuts, tailoring their meal to distinct fat marbling, tenderness, and flavour profiles.

    Absolutely love how you can taste the differences between the Ribeye (fattier and tender cut) and the Striploin (leaner but more flavorful)

  • Delight in Ultra-Tender Ox Tongue Skewers

    The standout ox tongue skewers consistently surprise guests with their slow-cooked, melt-in-the-mouth tenderness and savoury glaze.

    The katsu really lives up to our high expectations but it was the ox tongue skewer that really blew us away!

  • Authentic Taste of Japan

    Traditional preparations and authentic flavours evoke genuine memories of specialty katsu dining in Japan.

  • Generous Portions Built for Sharing

    Substantial 250g to 300g katsu portions alongside shareable seafood and skewers make dining with friends or partners effortless and satisfying.

    The portion size was very generous, so if you're planning on ordering a few sides, sharing the pork main might be the way to go.

  • Complete Katsu and Side Combinations

    A multi-course dining experience naturally pairs thick-cut katsu with sides like kaki fried oysters and rich house-made desserts.

    save some room for the kaki, the tartar sauce goes so perfect with it. Finally the hojicha ice cream is so rich of hojicha flavour

Signature cuts and specialty skewers crafted with precision

  • Ox Tongue Skewers

    We started with the ox tongue skewers, incredibly tender and packed with flavour.

  • Pork Ribeye Tonkatsu

    Whilst the strip loin Tonkatsu was really good with the red miso sauce, the rib eye Tonkatsu was just a cut above in terms of juiciness.

  • Strip Loin Tonkatsu

    Striploin (leaner but more flavorful)

  • Tofu with Japanese Curry

    I ordered the Tofu Curry the last time I went there and it was also delicious.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I book a table in advance?

Yes, booking ahead is strongly recommended, particularly for weekends and dinner service, as walk-in queues can be long or tables hard to secure.

How large are the portions, and do cutlets come with rice?

Servings are generous, featuring thick 250–300g cutlets that often arrive in two pieces. Groups frequently share mains when adding sides or seafood. Note that rice and miso soup are ordered separately as a set or side.

What is the difference between the ribeye and striploin tonkatsu?

The menu features two distinct pork cuts: ribeye is fattier, richer, and juicier, while striploin is leaner, meatier, and holds strong pork flavor.

What are the most popular non-cutlet dishes to order?

Alongside tonkatsu, the slow-cooked ox tongue skewers are widely noted as a signature must-order for their melt-in-the-mouth tenderness.

Are there vegetarian options available?

While primarily a specialist tonkatsu venue, vegetarian diners can order dishes like the tofu with Japanese curry.
