Ofuji

Whether you’re in the mood for a generous serving of fried food or a little variety, Ofuji offers plenty to choose from. Alongside classic tonkatsu, the menu includes a daily set meal and Western-style dishes.

One diner who often orders the daily set meal points to its balance, with side dishes and pickles as well as a main. On another visit, a set meal reportedly included fried horse mackerel, deep-fried chicken drumsticks and bite-sized pork cutlets, accompanied by simmered dishes, salad and small side dishes. The contents change from day to day, making it a good option when you want more than a single plate of fried food.

For those coming specifically for tonkatsu, one diner’s detailed comments on the Special are worth noting. The thick pork loin took a little while to arrive, but the diner said its tangy sauce and sweet fat paired well with rice. Another reviewer praised the crisp exterior and tender meat. One report mentions that rice was ordered separately, so it may be worth checking whether your choice comes as a set meal or à la carte.

The menu also features hamburger steak, chicken chop, omurice and katsudon, among other dishes. One diner found the hamburger steak had the flavour of a Western-style restaurant, while another enjoyed a generously filled katsudon. There are options to suit your appetite when you’re not in the mood for fried food.

Ofuji is open for lunch and dinner, and offers takeaway as well as dine-in service. The atmosphere is quiet, making it an option for a solo meal.
