When one thinks of gyudon in Japan, one thinks of Yoshioya, Sukiya and Matsuya, They are the most popular and every time we are in Japan, we do at least one round of each shop. Yoshinoya and Sukiya opened here recently. But now another one followed. Tokyo Chikara Meshi. Not as popular as there are only 3 shops in Japan. But it opened a branch here in Mong Kok's The Forest. At first there were huge lines of curious diners. But one Saturday, we arrived at 6 PM and there was no one in line.We wonde
We wondered why. Why was there such a fast disinterest in this place? We decided to find out.
The restauarant is large in size but seating was still cramped. They have tables and a small bar seating area. Menu is done by scanning a QR code and that is where you will order. Menu is in English and Chinese. There is no 10% service charge.
I ordered the salt pork with two pieces of fried chicken set ($55 for regular size). The pork tasted really gamey. I don't mind gamey but those who do mind it, just to let you know .. it was gamey in taste. There also was a few bones in my pork slices. I'm a bit confused about that. Why have that???
Boyfriend ordered the grilled beef bowl ($55 for large size). The beef didn't have a lot of flavor. It was also tough. The sauce was not enough.
The fried chicken didn't fare any better. It wasn't seasoned. But at least it was crispy and the meat was moist.
Portion size was small. Boyfriend added money to have a larger size and it was barely larger than mine. The regular portion is about the size of a tea set bowl at Yoshinoya.
Overall, very disappointing. The food also comes out extremely slow for a fast food style setting. Leaving not very full and not the least satisfied, we realized why there was so few people in line. We won't be back.
