About the Restaurant:
Gyukatsu Motomura places great emphasis on the importance of beef cutlets in Japanese cuisine and culture. Their cutlets are breaded with finely ground breadcrumbs and fried to a medium-rare finish. Customers then have the unique experience of grilling their beef cutlets on a personal stone plate to their desired doneness. Each piece is best enjoyed with wasabi, soy sauce, or rock salt, creating a truly life-changing flavor experience.

General Reservations: Gyukatsu Motomura Reservations
- You can enter a phone number from any country when making a reservation.
- I generally recommend making a reservation, as getting a table can be difficult at peak times.
Walk-Ins:
I have visited this location as well as one in Tokyo, and both times I was able to walk in for dinner with only a short wait. However, I would consider myself lucky—there were many reservations, and only a limited number of seats available for walk-in customers.
Accepted Forms of Payment:
Cash or credit card.
Special Notes:
This restaurant chain is known for its interactive dining experience, allowing you to cook your rare-fried beef cutlet on a personal stone grill. Each cutlet is sliced into small pieces, giving you full control over your preferred level of doneness.
