Asakusa Gyukatsu

"This tiny, nine-seat counter shop just may serve the best deep-fried beef cutlet in Tokyo. The meat is beautifully marbled, encased in a thin, softly crunchy coating and quite tasty with just a bit of grated rock salt. Do try the onion sauce though - this is also one of our favorites in town, assertively pungent with a bit of peppery kick to it. The spicy pickles are also outstanding, although we wish there were more of them. We'd recommend the teishoku set with a double order of meat (260g; Y1900), although they also sell triple and quadruple meat options. Grated yam is an extra Y100 if you like that sort of thing. Menus are in English and Korean, and there's a detailed instruction sheet on how to eat."

"Gyukatsu is one of the staple dishes you have to try if in Tokyo! This dish is quite similar to Tonkatsu but, instead of using pork as the meat, it uses beef. Along with Tonkatsu, this is also a specialty from Tokyo. *Note: this particular shop is cash only"

"Not the cheapest restaurant in the area but the queues outside this place will help you understand that you're in for a treat. You will get your food and a stone that's heated by tea lights to cook your meat on."
