Lucky Pig

We recently visited Lucky Pig, a Japanese-style tonkatsu restaurant, and it turned out to be a really good find. It’s been a while since we’ve had this kind of meal, and we left with a strong impression — definitely a place we’d love to visit again. We ordered three dishes: Curry hire katsu, Omurice, and Don katsu don. The hire katsu was thick, juicy, and tender — perfectly cooked to bring out the natural flavor of the pork. The omurice had an incredibly soft egg layer, though the rice inside felt a bit firmer than expected, which was slightly disappointing. Among the three dishes, the Don katsu don stood out the most — the combination of crispy pork cutlet with the savory sauce on top was absolutely delicious and well-balanced. Overall, I’d give this restaurant a solid 5 stars. One m

Great date spot, sure to impress! The katsu has a rich flavor and superior texture, melt in your mouth with a layer of crunch. The Matcha Yuzu Ade was so good my partner and I started making our own at home. Kind staff as well, we sat at the booth and it was fun watching the kitchen. I live far away from this place but otherwise would be a regular.

Most authentic katsu don in Whittier area. They have generous portion and worth every penny. The Ton Katsu meal and Ebi are a must-try; unlike other restaurants, their ebi is big and not just panko powder all over.

I love the food here, and very rich, juicy, tasty, and with great textures. It's not cheap here, but worth the money in my opinion. The whole atmosphere and interior designs are well-thought out, too. They can definitely improve customer services. Other than that, it is a perfect place for donkatsu, katsudon, udon, and other Korean-Japanese fusion foods.

We had the omelette rice with Hite Katsu and regular Katsu Done. The staff was very nice to help us customize our omelette rice as we dont want the meat ball but the Hite Katsu with it. It turns out to be a great choice as the omelette rice, egg is fluffy and fried rice inside is well stirred while the Hite Katsu is also well fried that inside still tender and juicy which is quite impressive. However, the regular Katsu Don is a disaster, they put too much water so the bottom of the rice is soaking in water that is more like a watery rice. Also, the regular Katsu Pork don't really have any meat in there but just the fat and the breading so we end up left most of the Katsu meat untouched. However, we will still come back for their Hite Katsu, probably try their curry next time and hopefully,
