Asakusa Gyukatsu

We loved it! A bit of a wait to get in. We came about 1:30ish pm on a Sunday and there were maybe 5 people in front of lined up. Not bad. We waited maybe 30 or so minutes before getting and being seated in their upstairs dining room. The restaurant is small, but laid out well and there were actually quite a few people dining. We were so excited for BEEF Katsu and the menu looked mouth watering. We went with beef tongue and the Wagyu. The beef tongue was just ok, didn't love it. It was good, but a little tougher than we were hoping. Good flavor though. I would pass on this next time for sure. The Wagyu on the other hand was sooooo delicious! We loved it. My only complaint is that I couldn't eat it faster since you have to cook each individual piece on their little candle heated cook top on the table lol. But that's fine. Each piece was tender, fatty and crispy. Really really tasty. The Wagyu was so good that we ordered a second round of it and enjoyed another round. This spot is definitely one of the food highlights form our time in Tokyo and I would highly recommend waiting in the line and getting the Wagyu! We also had a couple of their Wagyu Katsu bite or balls or whatever they're called. Fatty, nice texture and also very delicious. I could have eaten several of those too.

It is deserving of its 4.8 rating. I reached at 3pm and queued for 30 mins for our counter seats for 4 pax. Conveniently located near Asakusa Subway Station. The staff took the initiative to take my order while I was in the queue. The food was delicious! Aromatic, succulent and tender meat. A lovely deep beefy favour. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic food! I was able to get a larger portion of Wagyu for a promotional price, plus a free rice refill. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The waiter explained every detail of each item included in the dish I chose, which was perfect for a first-timer in the country. Highly recommended!
