Tetsujin Gyukatsu & Wagyu Bowl - Pregolan — Restaurant in Surabaya

Hope the owner read this review.

What shown in the pictures are based on my first visit. I were suggested by my sibling to visit Tetsujin. We already had lunch that day so while I was in the area, we decided to stop by and only order some light meals.

Mixed Wagyu Tajima, it served with a grill stone / pan. Great concept where we grill for few seconds only and it eat while it still hot. Nice..

Gyukatsu, served with a grill stone / pan aswell. The meat is thick, so once you grill it, it still chewy abd tender. Juicy in the inside

Torched Salmon Tataki, due to stomach matter, we asked to be cooked well. Not getting that wow factor though.

Then on the next visit (which I will share the pics on another day), we ordered bowls dishes and the Wagyu bowl is a topnotch..!! Also the Saikoro Wagyu Curry...!! will comeback for these 2 dishes for sure!

First impression of the exterior and interior, it is definitely need update and upgrade. To be honest, you have big potential to be upscale Japanese Restaurant with the experience and taste of your dishes but your interior let you down. While your price is not cheap considering the quantity but the quality speaks well. So I call...

Reasonable price, but the quality needs a lot of improvement. The gyukatsu is well-presented, but it turns too oily when cooked. The nori butter bifu steak is damn to tough to chew. We we're request to cook medium well, but served medium 😅. My friends order gindara yaki but it was slightly smell fishy, but thay said it's the smell of fresh gindara 🤦‍♀️. My friends decided not to eat it, and give back to kitchen. Fortunately they weren't count it in our bill. The food presentation, ambiance, interiors, valet service was really good. But I think the chef needs to...

Opened few weeks ago, we were among their earliest customers. It's been the talked of the town ever since, many claim they have one of the best katsu in town, we must agree on this one. Tried their wagyu, it tasted so good. From price point we think they were reasonable, comparing the quantity and the quality.

Another point worth mentioning is the interior. It's not over the top but still strongly embodies the mix of japanese and scandinavian style. Hopefully the quality of their food (and ofc the taste) will be consistent...
