Gyukatsu Motomura Nishi-Shinjuku Branch

I think it's delicious but not the wow wow I have expected. However if you are in the area I recommend you to try it. Suggestion is to arrive earlier as the queue builds up very quickly. Card payment is ok which is good and you get to choose the cutlet size for the meal.

Amazing beef cutlet set. Meat is super tender. The smell of oil is very heavy in the air, but it's as rich as the great taste of the food. Regardless, highly recommended if you like beef!

It’s worth the hype but waiting time can be crazy so do go during non peak hours We ordered both the 1 and 1.5 servings and believe they were enough for an average female and male, respectively. The meat was precooked so I personally like to cook each side for 10-15 minutes but feel free to cook them according to your liking. I even tried not cooking them and to my surprise the slices were still amazing 🤩 The cabbage was less than the usual proportion from other katsu places however the dressing was one of a kind. It was not the usual sesame dressing and was definitely more flavorful. Hints of garlic, miso etc can be tasted but not so sure what else were added The cod roe was ✨ hope i had more hahahaha even the miso soup was flavorful. Note that ive read from different sources that the you get 1 free refill of rice but the cabbage and miso soup are unrefillable. we never requested so could not confirm.

Was recommended by friends to come here! Looks ordinary, but the beef was so so so good! many different sauces to have your beef with, but my favourite will be the ground salt. will be back again! not sure about the other branches but the nishishinjuku branch is at basement and the staircase is very cramp have to wait about half an hour along the staircase before getting seated.

We finally got the chance to eat here, because last time we were so busy shopping at Yodobashi Akiba. The beef was so tender and juicy, definitely topping every beef I tasted, except for the Kobe and A5 Wagyu, of course. Nonetheless, we really enjoyed dining here.

The food was enjoyable. It is a new experience for us. Maybe too good since the medium sized portion is a lot for us. Maybe it was made in a way that it allows the customers to have an experience in "cooking" the beef. Taste, needs a lot of salt but tenderness really gives it the edge.

Had it one time in Osaka branch. Before I leave Tokyo, just had to eat 1 more time. Same great standard. Meat is super tender! Fats within beef is not overwhelming, the cut is perfect(I’m still wondering which section of the beef is this) Batter is very nicely spiced. Undeniably, best food I had in Japan! My next visit to Japan I’ll eat this again without a doubt. Thank you Gyukatsu Motomura, love from Singapore

I came at around 10:45 AM and I was the first in line. Oh boy did the line form up crazy within minutes! So I was very happy with my decision to come in just a bit earlier. And it was worth it! They serve beef that just melts in your mouth. I ordered the 2 beef cutlets because I came all the way from Canada for this experience 😁. All the staff were very polite and attentive to their customers' needs. Highly recommend to try when in Japan! 🫶
