 Yoshinoya outlet in Shinjuku by Wild_Orchid
They have the famous beef rice, chicken with rice and Japanese beef curry & rice.
Note to Malaysians & Singaporeans-the chain here is not like the one that is found in Malaysia and Singapore. The menu is all in Japanese and the curries are not at all what we are used to. It looks like thick brown sauce and is slightly sweetish, but still rather delicious. Can't speak Japanese? No worries, just point to the one you like and pay!
Delicious Grilled Beef Rice-so satisfying.
Cost: 400 - 500 Yen for a bowl of gyudon
(don=rice with gyu=beef)
Gohan=rice Leave a Comment

What's is Gyudon. Gyu stands for cow, don is a short for donburi (no grammar rules apply here). And donburi is a bowl. Make yor arithmetic and you will find a cow inside a bowl. Wrong!!! Donburi is a bowl with rice. And gyudon is a bowl full of rice with cow meat on the top. If someone offers you an X-don, he/she is inviting you to eat a bowl of rice with X on the top. Tendon= Tempura-don and so on, so forth.
For the low price any of the gyudon is ok. You decide how much rice you want: Oomori (a bit more), futsu(regular but for a western too much).
REmember that for the Japanese the important thing to eat is the rice...the rest is mana from heaven.
The breakfast is just excellent for 250 yenes: grilled fish, rice, miso"soup" and pickles.
BTW, it is open 24 hours a day.... Leave a Comment

Great place to get a bite to eat - it's cheap and tasty. Also this is a regular stop for Japanese people, so you know it's OK. Service is usually very prompt, and don't worry about not being able to read Japanese menu's, just point to a the picture menu! Most of the time though the attendant will be able to understand you from jestures/body language - honest! All served with a glass of free water (but the beer is cheap too)
Katsu-don; for pork and rice.
Gyuu-don; for Beef and rice.
Not really a place for the veggie though.
It's open 24hours and they are pretty much everywhere in Tokyo, especially close to stations or busy shopping areas.
Other good places to get a quick bite are - Mos Burger, Freshness Burger, any 'Conbini" store like Lawsons, 7-11, QQ (99yen shop) etc...
Gyuu-don - it's what the chain is famous for!

When I say "cheap" I mean it! US$3-4 for a meal. Free water and / or Japanese green tea is included. The restaurants are all over Tokyo. Just look for their characteristic orange logo, including the word "Yoshinoya" in English. Bon appetit!

Oishii!!! There are no doubt about the food at all, just hop into the shop and enjoy the food being served in just 5 mins. A delightful place to enjoy the food with all the things provided. Easy to find anywhere and cheap food as well.
I like the teriyaki chicken set meal, it smells nice and the sauce that comes with the chicken is simply tasty.

Yoshinoya is a large restaurant chain specialising in gyudon dishes (rice and beef). Prices are really cheap, the food is great and service is ultra fast!! Places are clean and staff are friendly. Many are open 24 hours too!!

For a lunch snack you can't go past a bowl of Gyu don.
Coming in 3 sizes, cheap & tasty.
It is a great local dish.
And you should be able to recognise & find outlets easily. Leave a Comment

When rushing home from work, we usually just grab a quick bite from a small restaurant like Yoshinoya (sorry, I forgot the name of the actual restaurant where we usually eat Gyudon but Yoshinoya is the next best thing for me). We just usually buy the food coupon from a vending machine inside the resto which we exchange for the gyudon and tamago (fresh egg). Gyudon is a rice bowl with thinly sliced sirloin beef cooked (or boiled) in something similar to soy sauce and onions on top. The fresh egg is usually poured over the dish or the beef is dipped into it.
Gyudon with tamago, kudasai! Leave a Comment Theme: Other
