Gyukatsu Motomura

Totally worth the wait—absolutely delicious! The place is tiny, with only nine seats, so don’t come if you’re in a hurry. 🔍 Queueing Tip: The space between the front door and the first-floor entrance fits about 10 people. If you’re standing past the entrance on the road, you’re looking at at least a 45-minute wait, since you’ll need to wait for those 10 people to finish eating. Worst case? If those 9 folks inside the restaurant just sat down—expect 90 minutes or more. ⚠️ In a rush? Do NOT come. 🎊 Got time? It’s 200% worth it. I waited about 55 minutes today solo. 🥩 The steak is deep-fried first, then pan-seared. Crispy on the outside, tender inside. Even without searing, it was juicy and flavorful! The staff was friendly and kind! Visa card accepted.

this little gem is worth the wait!! the meat was sensational so were all of the side dishes. the sauce they serve with the cabbage salad is perfect!! and the staff is so friendly and welcoming l, telling you all you need to know to cook the meat to perfection! Come hungry because everyone must order their own cutlet. we will be dreaming of the beautiful sounds of high quality meat sizzling for a long time!!

This particular location was quite small with maybe 10 counter seats total. I went at lunch and waited around 40 minutes before being seated. The gyukatsu is just as amazing here as any other location! I had no shame in ordering the 2 filet large set with a drink. I must’ve arrived at a good time because when I left, the line had snaked around the corner.

Super cozy 8 seater, counter seating. Omg, this was the best beer I’ve had and I’ve eaten lots of beef before. Amazing meal. Waited more than an hour in the queue but it’s worth it. Trust me… you gently sear your rare beef cutlet on a little hot stone plate to your decided doneness. Even if you overcook it, it’s tender and utterly delicious…

A Japanese gem specializing in gyūkatsu (牛カツ)—a breaded and deep-fried beef cutlet—this place delivers both authenticity and excellence. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and kindness that made us feel right at home. The staff went above and beyond, taking care of every single detail with genuine hospitality. The food was simply phenomenal! The gyūkatsu was nothing short of perfection, melting in our mouths with every bite. Each dish was expertly prepared, showcasing the rich, buttery flavors that make this cuisine so special. What makes the experience even more unique is that they provide you with a small stone grill, allowing you to cook the meat to your exact preference. The level of service here is truly top-notch. Every staff member showed exceptional attention to detail, ensuring we had an amazing experience from start to finish. The quality, the flavors, and the overall atmosphere make this place an absolute delight. Highly, highly recommended—this is a dining experience you don’t want to miss!

The food is definitely worth the wait. The queue was very long but the staff were nice and accommodating. If you are traveling with a toddler you can take them walking around the area while your partner is waiting in line.

A cosy inn style restaurant. While it did have a long wait, it was certainly worth the experience! The meat was juicy and tender, and the individual fires for each seat allowed the customer to cook the meat to their desired rareness. The sauces were paired beautifully– not overpowering the meat at all, and the service was nice and accessible to those who did not speak fluent Japanese. Overall, a lovely experience.

It’s my first time in Japan and of course I would queue for this 🤣 We were told waiting time would be 1hr and 50mins from where we are and we agreed because I figured lines would be longer during lunch or dinner time (we queued around 2pm, also can’t wake up early to go before opening 🤣). Fortunately, the total waiting time only last about an hour and one of the staff even offered us hot tea while we are in line 🙇‍♀️ The long line was understandable for this branch since seats are limited (around 9-10? I guess) As for the food, I got the 2 cutlet set. Definitely worth the price, I love them and the experience overall (except for the queueing part) You can refill the rice once for free. The staff are very welcoming also and one of them speaks English very well, we are able to dine smoothly. Thank you!
