Nowadays, even gyudon is self-service! You buy a ticket, wait, and then just pick up your order at the counter. It's perfect for those who don't want to come into contact with people. If asked whether I prefer Matsuya or Yoshinoya, I would hesitate, but one thing is for sure, I'm not a fan of sukiyaki. The slightly thick miso soup that I ordered is overflowing with ingredients, and everything about it is so dear to me...

My Curry restaurant with a dining area. Only 670 yen for this... It's really helpful, right? It's full of ingredients, so I'm even happier!!! Even with less rice, I'm completely satisfied. Chicken chunks, lots of vegetables. I also got a croquette with a coupon!!!!!!!

I had breakfast at Matsuya. I chose the set meal with fried egg and sausage, with a side of mini beef dish. Matsuya is a place I often visit because the rice is delicious. It is a compact restaurant, very convenient for a quick meal. I am full now.

Having lunch at Matsuya Aomono Yokocho store in Higashi Shinagawa 3-chome, Shinagawa-ku. It was my first visit, and I noticed that Matsuya has shifted from being a "gyudon restaurant" to a "curry restaurant". I purchased a paper ticket from the ticket machine and chose the "Chunky Chicken Curry". It came with rice and miso soup for 630 yen. I also added a side of fresh vegetables for 130 yen. The restaurant had around 30 seats and I loved the variety of salad dressings available on the table. The miso soup that came with the set was delicious. The "Chunky Chicken Curry" lived up to its reputation - it was spicy and aromatic, with chunks of chicken. It was sweet and spicy at the same time, and I couldn't get enough of it. Eating it with the non-red Fukujinzuke pickles brought out even more flavors. The fresh vegetables were a nice addition, and I tried them with French dressing, sesame dressing, and barbecue sauce - the garlic-flavored spicy barbecue sauce was my favorite. Overall, the meal was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Matsuya truly lives up to its reputation as a curry chain to rival Coco Ichibanya.

1. The meat quality was poor, with a lot of fatty areas. 2. There is a ticket vending machine for bento boxes outside the restaurant! 3. It's self-service here, so you don't need to hand over a food ticket. I didn't quite understand the "soup-drenched" method, and just as I figured it out, my order arrived, so I couldn't try it. 4. After looking closely at the poster for the sweet and sour pork, I feel like it might be the type of meat that I don't like from Matsuya, so I might not eat it.

Just the other day, after a long time, I went to the office during the day. I had eaten a shashlik set at "Halal Sakura" for lunch, and after finishing work around 7 pm, I was thinking about grabbing a meal somewhere on my way back towards Aomono Yokocho. However, most of the small restaurants were closed (either they closed early or were completely dark), so I reluctantly ended up at "Matsuya Aomono Yokocho Store" just before their dining-in deadline. Similar to the "Oniyanma Higashi Shinagawa Store" across the street, I usually go to Matsuya for breakfast. This time, I ordered their limited-time menu item, the "Chunky Stewed Chicken Curry," which is their signature spicy curry with a generous amount of chicken cooked on an iron plate. I finished it all and it was delicious! Unfortunately, I regret not noticing the option for a side of fresh vegetables before paying with my Suica card after selecting the "Chunky Chicken" dish at the ticket machine. However, I hesitated to correct my order due to the pressure from the people behind me who seemed to be struggling to find dinner.

Visited on April 11, 2019 (Thursday) around 7:45 am. The restaurant is located about a 4-minute walk from the Keikyu Main Line "Aomono-yokocho" station, heading east on Ikegami Street. Across the road, there is the "Oniyanma Higashi Shinagawa Store" and a new standing soba shop near Yasio High School, so there are plenty of breakfast options nearby. There are two entrances, and only one ticket vending machine for ordering. There is also a counter for takeout on the right. The interior of the restaurant has a unique counter seating for about 16 people. At the time of my review, the restaurant had 8 reviews with an average rating of 3.01 points. There were 5 customers before me and 7 customers after me. The staff, possibly from a continental background, consisted of two individuals, a man and a woman. The touch panel ticket vending machine has become quite common now. They also accept electronic transportation cards. I selected the "Sausage and Egg Set with Premium Beef Side Dish for 400 yen (tax included)" from the menu. The breakfast sets at Matsuya are appealing because you can choose from various side dishes like premium beef, natto, cold tofu, etc. The sausage and egg set includes one egg and one sausage. The sausage is microwaved and then lightly grilled on a hot plate. The shredded cabbage on the side is a nice touch. The size of the seaweed has changed from Matsuya's unique large size to a more common size, which is a bit disappointing. The miso soup is now served from a dispenser, but they dissolve miso paste in hot water, making it much tastier than the powdered instant miso soup from Yoshinoya. The pickles are a special size for the breakfast set, as Matsuya's regular meals do not come with pickles. If you order them separately, you get a larger portion. The breakfast was satisfying and consistent in taste for 400 yen including tax. The total bill for that day was 400 yen. Thank you for the meal. Visited on April 1, 2019 (Monday) around 7:30 am. On this day, I ordered the "Grilled Fish Set with Premium Beef Side Dish for 450 yen (tax included)." Matsuya's grilled fish is salmon, which used to be microwaved, then placed on a hot plate for a light grill before serving. However, there was a notice stating that the cooking method had changed since the beginning of the year. To confirm the changes, I ordered the dish. The change turned out to be that the fish is now served directly after being warmed in the microwave, without being placed on the hot plate. It seemed like they reverted back to the previous cooking method. The set includes a piece of salmon, but unlike the Sausage and Egg Set, it lacks fresh vegetables, which is a bit disappointing. Of course, compared to Yoshinoya's grilled fish set, Matsuya offers better value for money, even though Yoshinoya's set has fewer items. The total bill for that day was 450 yen. Thank you for the meal.

Topping the Matsuya Four Heavenly Kings! That's right, this position suits me (*^_^*) The new "Pork Shoulder Loin" ginger pork set meal for 650 yen will be available at Matsuya restaurants nationwide on February 19th at 2:00 PM♪ The store was crowded during the morning rush, but of course I go for a hearty meal in the morning. Ginger pork in the morning, so I add an egg. Let's zoom in a little more on the protein-rich meat! The pork loin had a chewy texture like a well-done steak. It was a healthy choice in the morning with no fat cuts and a ginger flavor.

Chicken curry (regular) with vegetable salad for 690 yen, half-cooked egg for 60 yen, kimchi for 80 yen.
