A tad bit over-rated. The daily snaking queues probably raised expectations. But overall an experience not to be missed if you’re in the Tsukiji area during breakfast. The menu is in Japanese and the stall owners are not the most helpful. Better if you actually know what you want to order and here is my recommendation: 1. Get the normal Beef & Rice bowl for Y800. 2. Add on a bowl of Innards (no rice) for extra - if you are game enough. 3. I saw a lot of people ordering their Pickled Cucumber. 4. They seem to also sell a lot of Beancurd Skin of some sort. 5. You can also get the optional Egg top-up. On a cold morning, this hot bowl of beef stew warms up the tummy for sure. It’s super tasty (no doubts) and goes very well with the rice. The sauce/stew is thick and full of umami however for the cost, I expected to receive a little more ingredients (e.g. beef slices, etc.). So, if you’re someone needing a lot of ingredients versus rice, don’t forget to order an extra portion of just beef slices and/or innards (separate orders). Not worth traveling across the city to eat but if you’re in the vicinity, why not? Better to go about 7 am before the queue starts to grow.

GET THE HORUMON DON (offal/innards bowl), NOT THE BEEF BOWL. I made the mistake of only getting the beef bowl the first time I visited and saw everyone else order the horumon don and then wistfully wished I had made the better choice because I did not enjoy the beef bowl. Their beef bowl is not like what you'd get at the usual beef bowl chains - instead, the beef is broken up into tiny bits and the texture is too much of mush for me to enjoy (unless that's your thing). The horumon don, on the other hand, IS AMAZING. It's the best way to eat innards because it's stewed in this bubbling cauldron into a thick, rich goodness that goes perfectly with hot rice, spring onions and a sprinkling of shichimi. Yum. note: everyone has to order an item, no sharing of one bowl for multiple people. You can order one horumon/beef bowl then get just the stewed horumon (horumon ni) or the yaki tofu/tofu and meat (ie non rice item).

Came here after the tuna auction, my friend said that the non seafood restaurants in tsukiji are very good, so act like local! No locals are going to eat fish every single day right? So here we go, came to this place ordered gyudon & hormone. Gyudone was veryyyy good! Hormone was very nice & uniqueas well, you can feel the sweetness on it but I think not everyone gonna love it. Well, it's a small food stall so don't expect super hospitality like in restaurant, people in this area are more rude because lots of labor class you know & they put the sign not to share the food very clearly so please respect that :) For japanese it's important to have some moral to abide the rules they set, don't like it then find another place but don't complaint about it. Gyudon is 750 yen & hormone is 850 yen, very affordable!

Very good beef bowl! Had a simple menu with pictures once you get to the counter to order and pay. The line is not too bad, looks very long but takes only about 30 minutes. They do close 2 days of the week and early, watch the opening time so you are not disappointed. I saw this place last time I was in Japan 8 years ago, but my stomach is too full to try. I'm very glad I tried it this time. The beef bowl is very good. They give you free glass of ice tea, which I appreciate very much. I think they purposely slow down the ordering and getting food process a little, and it made sure there is always a spot for you to eat at the standing table or seat down bar area. They made the rice a little harder so it wouldn't get too soggy from the beef sauce. Loved the beef bowl, worth the wait to try.

One of the places that was very high on my list of places to eat. As I was jet lagged my first day in Tokyo, I was up quite early and got to Kitsuneya at a little before 6am. As expected, there was already a line up of 20+ people. Looking behind me when they opened at 630, the line up grew with another 30+ people. There are only 4 counter seats and some makeshift tables that can serve another 8 or so people. When its time to order, they do have a 2 item English menu BUT be aware, their “Motsu don” is different than the ホルモン丼 (Horumon don) from the Japanese menu. For a more authentic meal, order the Horumon don and add an egg (raw or soft boiled). They also have simmered tofu and plain beef (nikku) if you’re not into the main attraction.

I recently visited this food stall known for its amazing beef bowl, and despite the long wait, the experience was well worth it. The line was quite lengthy, but I was impressed by how quickly and efficiently the staff managed the flow of customers. They seemed to have a system in place that kept things moving smoothly, making the wait feel shorter than it was. When I finally got my beef bowl, it exceeded my expectations. The beef was tender and flavorful, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The rice was fluffy, and I added the egg for extra flavor (great choice on my end). Overall, the combination of great food and efficient service made the wait worthwhile. If you’re in the area, this beef bowl is a must-try!
