Matsuya Takadanobaba 2-Chōme Shop — Restaurant in Tokyo

高田馬場駅から徒歩10分程度とやや離れたところにあるからか、店周辺も比較的静かで、同時に店内も時間帯問わずそれ程混雑していません。 カウンター席・テーブル席合わせて20席程度で、店内もやや入り組んだ構造になっているためかなり狭苦しいと感じるでしょう。一方でそのような構造だからか、おしゃべりをする客は皆無に等しく（私が利用した時間帯ではたまたまそうだったのかもしれませんが）、比較的静かな環境で食事が出来ると思います。店内の狭さに加え、出入口に段差があるため、車椅子等の障碍を持つ方の利用はお勧めできません。 出入口に設置されている券売機であらかじめ食券を購入する必要があります。食券に記載されている番号が呼ばれると、受け取りカウンターで食事を受け取ります。食事後は返却カウンターに食器を返却します。そのため客席フロアにはほとんどスタッフは配備されていません（たまに清掃等で客席フロアにいるくらいです）。一方で床やテーブルはそれ程汚れておらず、清潔に保たれているように見受けられます。

Because this gyudon chain restaurant sits about a 10-minute walk from Takadanobaba Station, the surrounding streets are fairly quiet and the dining area is seldom crowded no matter the hour. Inside you’ll find roughly 20 seats split between a counter and a few small tables. The layout is tight, so space feels cramped; in addition, there’s a step at the entrance, making wheelchair access difficult. Buy a meal ticket first at the vending machine by the door, then wait for your number to be called at the pickup counter. After eating, return trays and dishes to the drop-off station yourself. For that reason, staff rarely patrol the seating area except for occasional cleaning - but the tables and floor are kept noticeably clean. Customers tend to eat quietly (at least during my visit), so despite the narrow quarters you can enjoy your bowl in relative peace. If you’re seeking a calm, no-frills gyudon restaurant and don’t mind the short walk from the station, this shop fits the bill - just note it isn’t suitable for guests with mobility...

I like that they had kids options. My son liked it. Food was great. I just wish they would have air conditioning system. It was not cool inside. Honestly if the AC would have worked and the place was cold I would have even given 5 stars. For the price and quality...
