Tokyo Akihabara Solo City Walk~🥰 Looking for a Buddy 🫡

After trying the beef cutlet in Shibuya a couple of weeks ago and telling a friend about it, we ended up trying another place together that also serves gyukatsu but this time in Akihabara. We saw the sign and just got in. The restaurant is located in the basement and when we went, there was a menu outside with pictures and prices written in English as well. It was a bit cheaper than the place I had tried before at around 1300 - 1400 yens for a set meal with a regular 130 gr portion of beef. As we got in the restaurant, we were politely welcomed by the staff, as it is usually done here in Japan. We had to wait a little bit as the place was crowded but there was still a rapid turnover and plenty of tables so it took only 5 minutes or so. There was a dinning counter as well as a dozen or so tables. The restaurant had a quiet atmosphere and was not too brightly lit. It felt a little more upscale then the one I had tried before as well as a little bit more intimate. The decor was simple and agreeable. I would not say it is fine dining, but I think the place could be nice for a first date sitting at the counter facing the kitchen. The staff was friendly and most seemed to be able to speak some English as I heard a foreign tourist family make requests in English, so I would assume that there is at least one person who can manage to communicate with customers in English. As for the most important part, the food, I would say that it was quite delicious. I found it much better than the previous place I had been to. It was cheap and tasty and I enjoy very much having to cook my cutlet on the little fire thing that was provided. It made for some fun and entertainment while dining, but also it allowed me to eat my meat the way I like it, that is mostly blue. The sides were also good, especially the miso soup. I was also told that a second rice bowl was complimentary. I enjoyed that it was a set meal as it makes it easier to get a full meal without having to order multiple things. I also enjoyed the grated yam that I poured on my rice, but I am aware that some people, especially those who are not used to it, might find it a bit gross, but I say try it ! It is delicious ! Finally, it also came with complimentary cold tea. If I have to sum my dining experience I would say that I had a good time and meal at this restaurant. I don't know if I would go back there myself, as there are so many restaurants to try in Tokyo, but I would definitely recommend it to people who have yet to try beef cutlet.

We went to this spot in Akihabara for lunch, but did not have a reservation, and there were a good amount of people lined up outside. The restaurant is located in the basement level, so the line went down the stairs to their entrance. As their name suggests, they focus on Gyukatsu, or beef cutlet. The interior is very Japanese with their decorations, very relaxing and spacious. Their menu consists of different types of Beef Cutlet Set. A server brought us stone structures with lit fire in the inside. The meat is prepared medium rare, then you get to cook them on the hot stone to your liking. How fun! We went with their Beef Cutlet Set with three side dishes. You get one free refill on the barley rice, if you need more. I got the “normal” potion of the beef cutlet, and my hubby got the 1.5 potion. You can cook the meat a little bit or completely on the hot stone. I cooked it to maybe medium well-ish? It was so tender, juicy, and delicious! The breading is light, and lightly fried, so not greasy at all. I liked how we get to have our meat just the way we want, and get to eat them hot right off the stone. We got two kinds of dipping sauce; soy sauce and sesame dressing kind. Also, we have rock salt and wasabi as well. The meat is so good, it really didn’t need any additional flavor, so a dab of salt and or wasabi was perfect. The set came with Warabi Mochi with sweet kinako powder, a perfect way to end the perfect meal! We had such fun meal here at Gyukatsu Motomura. The service was courteous and polite, and the food was super delicious. I really enjoyed cooking my meat piece by piece. I do have to mention, the fire inside the stone square does not last forever, so don’t take too long cooking and eating.

Ambience: Cozy and relatively quiet. Row of counter seats when you first enter, with 4-5 tables as you go further in. Price Point vs Quality & Quantity: Around 1900-3000+yen ranging from 1/1.5/2 serving of Gyukatsu. Comes in 3 different sets offering a variety of sides including cod roe, yam paste, alcohol etc. With that said, excellent price point. The quality of Gyukatsu given far exceeded expectations; and could potentially compare to what you'd usually get for paying a premium at 2-4x the price (as above). The meat was very soft and tender when it was served and can be seared (using the heated stone provided) to achieve crustier texture. Each set usually comes with a bowl of rice and some side dishes and overall it was filling - nothing generous but not shabby either. Space: More suited for a group of 4 or less, or slightly more if you're fine with counter seats. Service: Above average. Xtras: We went on a weekday (Monday) and at an off-peak timing (530pm) and there was a pair waiting before us. There was however a queue of 6-7 groups when we exited at 630pm. Since the restaurant is pretty small, be prepared to queue. Would also suggest to save this for the last stop as the ventilation is bad and you wouldn't want the smell to latch onto you for the rest of day. *Verdict: 4/5. Definitely lives up to its google rating and worth a revisit.

Good evening!! I been to this restaurant couple of weeks ago and tasted Classical Japanese authentic dish. Being non Japanese, this restaurant bought me very new experience in japan. The restaurant is at basement and less than 5 minutes walk from Akihabara station. Evening hours are bit crowded but still got the seat in 5 mins. I ordered for pork dish(see pictures) in which I can toast at small toaster at your dining table. I saw many people ordered the same dish and I believe that is the popular dish over in this restaurant. The pork was very fresh and juicy and when I heated using the small toaster, the pork turned super delicious. I got rice along with this dish and I got free rice topping when I requested them.i got fresh green tea along with food as like most of Japanese restaurant. I got miso soup in this food list along with fresh cabbage. I got many pickles and salads and those are delicious but I don’t know the name of those. Staff in this restaurant is not very fluent in English but it is same case is most of Japanese restaurant. In summary the set of pork+cabbage+ rice+pickles+soup for 1400 yen is very worthy. I don’t know whether they serve drinks as I don’t drink. But you can check if you like to. The service takes upto 5 mins to deliver your food but worth waiting.

I highly recommend coming to this restaurant if you want to have Gyukatsu (Katsu with steak inside). The restaurant isn’t very big, so it’s suggested to come in a group of 4 or less people. The server greeted us and luckily there were still some seats available (as time went on, the restaurant was packed fairly quickly. So it’s recommended to come before 7pm). It was nice to have a worker that knew how to speak some English. There are boxes on the side of tables for you to put your bags and jacket in. Their menu doesn’t have too many variety of dishes and mainly Gyukatsu, and side dishes available. They offer a set and just the Gyukatsu and the price differs by the gram (100g and 250g). Personally the 100g was enough for me, but if you have a big appetite, then go for the 250g. The orders came by fairly quickly (15 mins), and the server explained the cooking process to us as it was our first time. The stone boxes that are infront of each seat is used to cook the Katsu as they came rare, and you flip each side every 30 seconds-1 minute depending. Wow, each piece was so juicy and tender, and equally crispy. You can tell by the amount of sizzling on each piece as you cook it. Overall, definitely worth the price and visit. Was a pleasure and will come back again! :) IG: Ayenomz
