Sukiya, Matsuya, Yoshinoya? - 08-25-2011, 03:52 AM

Which do you prefer? I go with Matsuya. There's a Matsuya and a Sukiya right next to each other at Tamachi station (My closest JR) and many of my friends go to Sukiya because I think it's in a more prime location, but I think they underestimate the greatness that is Matsuya.

For regular gyuudon, Yoshinoya. For specialty, Sukiya.
I have only had Matsuya once, and it was awful. Not to mention the balance of meat to rice was skewed, so most of the rice didn't even get any flavor at all.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.

I actually get that a lot. I mean, not people going so far as to say it's awful , but just that it's generally less preferred than the others. I don't know why I like it so much when most people I talk to don't like it.

I feel too much like a sah-rah-ri-mon whenever I go to one of these places. I live within walking distance of Tokyo Station, and the beef bowl restaurants are usually busy until quite late. A Yoshinoya restaurant along my walk is always playing a musical jingle which ends with ...gohan o tabeyoooo!

Thank God there is a Burger King not too far away, sen yen for a Double Whopper set is expensive, but it is heaven on a bun, and I am tired rice.

"Fast food" restaurants that specialize in Gyudon.

for gyudon, I still like Yoshinoya. If there is no other choice , then I go to Matsuya.

I think i've only tried Sukiya , once or twice and I don't remember if I liked or not.

Well the poll is which do you prefer, if you've had it. "Not having it" as an option is superfluous data.
