I came here with friends on a weekday and out of the few beef katsu places in Tokyo that I have visited, this is the best one I have been to so far. There isn’t anything particularly fancy or special about this place but if you are looking for a good honest meal, in a central location for a great price, then you should definitely make a visit here.

One thing you could do here that I couldn’t do in other beef katsu places was adjust how cooked I wanted the beef in the middle to be. Using the hot stone that is placed in front of you, you can cook the beef to your taste. It was recommended that you do so, so I tried various different times and found that 10 secs either side was the best for me. Once you have cooked the beef katsu slice, you can decide to eat it on its own or try out the various dips that they have to offer. To accompany the beef katsu you also get rice, soup, tororo (sticky white sauce like thing made out of grated yams) and cabbage. The cabbage was really fresh and I liked that they offered various dressing for it. Another thing that I really liked was the fact that if you were still hungry, you could ask for a free refill of rice! I found the meal portion to be the right amount but for some of my hungry friends, this was a really nice touch! You also got a jug of tea for your table too so we never went thirsty! My only bugbear about this place was that it was so popular that I ended up queueing quite a while when all I wanted was a quick meal. We waited about 40 minutes for a table but once seated, the food came within five minutes!
