Kobe Gyudon Hiroshige — Restaurant in Kobe

We came for lunch. The wait was 1 hour and 15 mins to get in. It was another 30 minutes wait once we placed or order. This place only seats 10 people, and the owner does everything by himself. Therefore, the wait unavoidable if you eat here. Kobe beef over rice is all he sells. It's large for 1500 yen, and small for 1300 yen. A raw egg is 100 yen, and a beer is 500 yen. With all that said, it is very good beef over rice. It's the best I've had at least. It's very tender and juicy.

This restaurant can accommodate only 10 customers and only one chef takes care of us, which results in customers in next round having to wait for around 40 minutes to be seated. Menus are Gyudon (big 1700 yen, regular 1500 yen), egg (100 yen) and some beverages. The Gyudon was incredibly melty and good experience to taste Kobe beef.
