Great news for all beef lovers: Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu has opened at One Holland Village! This is its second outlet in Singapore, following the introduction of the Raffles City branch last year.
For the uninitiated, Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu is by far the largest gyukatsu—meaning deep-fried beef cutlet—chain in Japan. Today, it has over 70 outlets worldwide.
If you’re willing to splurge, be sure to try the A5 Miyazaki Sirloin Gyukatsu Zen ($55++). Featuring the most premium Wagyu cut available at the restaurant, this cutlet is crispy on the outside and incredibly buttery and juicy on the inside.
For a more affordable option, get the Sirloin Gyukatsu Zen (from $25++). When we tried this cutlet, we found that it was a notch or two below the A5 Miyazaki Wagyu in terms of quality, which means it was still really good.
More adventurous eaters will love the Beef Tongue Gyukatsu Zen ($37++). We loved its addictive chewiness and incredible meaty flavour, which was elevated by sauces ranging from Kyoto-style curry to rich gyukatsu sauce. By the way, you can enjoy both the sirloin and beef tongue cuts with the Signature Half-and-Half Gyukatsu Zen (from $29++).
If you aren’t a fan of beef, you can consider the Seafood Katsu Zen ($32++) or Yasai Tempura Zen ($25++). Do note that every set you order comes with free-flow rice and cabbage!
