Traditional, Japanese, Small plate, Casual diner

ucked away in a basement on Wellington Street, Porker is a hidden gem for tonkatsu lovers. This stylish Japanese cutlet bar is known for its refined take on classic pork dishes, featuring premium 30-day aged Sangenton pork from Kagoshima, shipped fresh and never frozen. The standout is the Porker Set ($200), which combines crispy, deep-fried aged sirloin and tenderloin, served with rice, miso soup, pickles, and cabbage. The sirloin boasts rich flavour and a fatty edge, while the tenderloin, cooked lightly pink, melts in your mouth. There’s also a decadent cheese-stuffed cutlet, oozing with mozzarella, that’s a fan favourite. Despite the indulgence, the frying is masterful—light, crisp, and never greasy. The compact, poker-themed interior is warm and welcoming, and the restaurant maintains a buzzing atmosphere. In the evenings, Porker offers additional à la carte dishes and an excellent selection of saké, making it a perfect dinner spot for pork connoisseurs. If you love Japanese cuisine and appreciate the art of pork, Porker delivers a satisfying and memorable dining experience that feels like discovering a well-kept culinary secret.
