About this place
Set along Meguro's Yamate-dori, Meguro Kitchen draws diners with an extensive blackboard of Japanese deep-fried cutlet sets. The flagship Mix Fry teishoku centers on pork tenderloin katsu, fried prawn, and breaded oyster, allowing diners to duplicate their preferred item to make four pieces in total. An Aji Mix Fry variant puts a crispy panko horse mackerel at center stage alongside tenderloin or oyster choices, making it simple to assemble a plate based on personal preference. Coarse, golden breadcrumbs enclose each cutlet, served alongside shredded cabbage, warm rice, and a bowl of miso soup loaded with daikon radish and nameko mushrooms.
The katsu curry stands as another cornerstone order, crowning rich Japanese curry sauce with a thick pork cutlet. Variations top the same base with chicken cutlet or fried prawns. For diners not seeking fried food, the pork ginger teishoku offers a satisfying alternative with thick pork strips glazed in a pungent, sweet-savory ginger sauce.
Open for both lunch and late-evening dinner, Meguro Kitchen easily welcomes solo diners at counter or table seating. Light izakaya sides such as stewed Wagyu beef offal and fried octopus pair naturally with a cold beer before transitioning to a hearty cutlet meal.
