Tonkichi Unit B, Basement FL Toy House, 100 Canton Rd Tsim Sha Tsui

Grub: Japanese-style deep-fried seafood and pork chops. Sashimi and traditional drinks are also on the menu.

Vibe: The basement location is spacious and comfortable, with soft lighting. It's generally packed, so expect to queue for at least 15 minutes.

Who to bring: Family and friends, especially those with low cholesterol. The restaurant offers sets for parties of two to four.

What's hot: One of the coolest things about Tonkichi is the sesame sauce, which you make yourself. Customers are given a bowl and a stick with sesame inside - you just grind the stick into the bowl and add sauce before adding it to your food.

The deep-fried pork chop is unmissable. Lightly covered in breadcrumbs, it freshly made to order. It is placed on top of a holder to avoid it getting soggy on the bottom. The pork is juicy, thick and delicious.
