Had the opportunity to try the Gyumon Signature Set A5 Wagyu Remen, which came with a self-cook beef cutlet, a portion of gyoza, some kimchi, and a strawberry rice pudding.
Let's start off with "wow", the flavours, especially the broth, was simply mind boggling. They give a choice for the level of spice in the broth, for which two was just perfect. The quality of wagyu was nothing short of high standard, which is expected from a premium place, and the noodles together with the whole dish just complimented each other. The gyoza was very enjoyable, and had the perfect strike of texture, cookedness and flavour.
There is the chicken variant of this same dish but sadly, doesn't live up to the same expectation as the wagyu had. The chicken felt a bit chewy and hard, and the portion was big, it became difficult to finish off.
But don't let that little bit of hiccup be a put off, as this is an experience not to be missed. Yes, it may be a bit on the premium side and you could prehaps be looking at spending £30 per head versus what is available around rest of Tokyo. But, it is a premium worth paying for, for an unforgettable experience of the...
Read moreThis looks and feels like a tourist place. The food isn't as good as most of the reviews suggest. There wasn't any Japanese customers but westerner/tourists. Take that however you like but you don't typically see that in a locally popular restaurant.
The broth is ok-ish. Something is off but can't really tell. The beef inside is fine but doesn't really fit the ramen (at least to me). The eggs were nice.
The grilling beef left a lot to be desired. The pieces are thin and quite fatty in a displeasing way. It's not terrible but I've had better one. They also have no sauce that goes with the sliced vegetables. Instead, they have this red-ish sauce that for dipping both the grilled beef and the sliced vegetables.
I would go elsewhere for a genuine ramen experience. There is a better Gyukatsu place opposite to Prince hotel located at B2 floor that I have always visited every time I come to Tokyo.
The cleark and employees were friendly. One of them speaks English really well. Not sure why some reviews say otherwise.
I wouldn't have been so annoyed if it wasn't this expensive. You could have gotten yourself 3 standard size at Gyukatsu for what I...
Read moreWe had the pleasure of dining at Gyumon and ordered the Spicy A5 Halal Wagyu Ramen — it was truly exceptional. The broth was rich and well-balanced, with just the right level of spice. The A5 wagyu was incredibly tender and flavorful, delivering a depth and quality that exceeded expectations.
The gyoza was also excellent — perfectly crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. Each element of the meal was thoughtfully prepared and executed with care.
What made the experience even more memorable was the outstanding service we received from our waitress, Ha. She was exceptionally kind, attentive, and helpful throughout our visit. Her warm and welcoming demeanor created a genuinely comfortable and pleasant atmosphere. Among all the restaurants we’ve visited in Japan, Ha was without question one of the most professional and thoughtful servers we’ve encountered.
We highly recommend Gyumon not only for its high-quality halal wagyu dishes but also for its exemplary service. Special recognition is deserved for Ha — her hospitality made a great meal...
