Japan’s viral thick-cut pork cutlet has officially arrived in Singapore at Tonkatsu ENbiton, bringing the social media-famous “chonky” tonkatsu trend to local diners. The restaurant is now serving its ENbiton Signature Thick-cut Katsu, featuring a massive 5cm-thick pork loin cutlet with a crispy golden exterior and juicy pink centre.

The katsu uses premium chestnut-fed Spanish pork loin, prized for its rich flavour, nutty notes, and marbled fat that keeps the meat tender and succulent. Each cutlet is coated with fresh breadcrumbs imported from Japan’s Saitama Prefecture before being deep-fried to achieve a crunchy crust while retaining moisture inside. Diners who attended tastings noted the portions appeared even thicker in person than advertised, making them especially hefty and satisfying.

Customers can enjoy the thick-cut katsu in two styles. The ENbiton Signature Thick-cut Katsu Don serves the pork over Japanese rice with egg and onions for a savoury, comforting meal. Prices start at S$29.90++ for a half-size 175g portion and S$32.90++ for the full 350g version. Alternatively, the ENbiton Signature Thick-cut Katsu Set presents the cutlet separately alongside rice, shredded cabbage, arugula, pickles, tonjiru pork miso soup, and lemon. The set costs S$32.90++ for half-size and S$34.90++ for full-size portions.

A major draw is the free-flow rice, cabbage, arugula, and tonjiru offered with the set meals. However, only 30 servings of the thick-cut katsu are available daily across all menu versions because of limited pork supply. The dish is available permanently, while stocks last, at all six Singapore outlets of Tonkatsu ENbiton.
