I tried the popular "Adult Lunch" available for a limited time. According to the website, it is a dish designed for adults who want to enjoy a children's lunch. The plate included omurice, tartar chicken cutlet, shrimp fry, sausage, and cabbage. The calorie content seemed quite high. The taste was not great, possibly due to the frying being overdone. Overall, the fried items were a bit too hard and overcooked. It was quite crowded, so maybe it was rushed. Despite the average taste, I was able to enjoy the atmosphere of a children's lunch as an adult.

Revisit Date: 2022/02/16 Order: Pork Cutlet and Pork Stamina Yakiniku Set Meal for 869 yen (tax included) [Comments] I visited for dinner this time. Two days in a row, haha. On this day, I selected the limited menu "Pork Cutlet and Pork Stamina Yakiniku Set Meal for 869 yen (tax included)". It looks like the rice will go down really well with this. Soon after, the food was served. At first glance, I was convinced it was going to be great. This is definitely going to be satisfying. The pork cutlet was delicious, and the stamina yakiniku was also very tasty. I finished it in no time. Thank you for the meal.

Visit date: 02/15/2022 Order: Katsudon 490 yen [Comments] I visited for dinner. This restaurant is spacious and relaxing. I ordered the katsudon cooked on an iron plate. It was served promptly. It was delicious as always. It had a nice crispy texture and moistness, a good balance. I quickly finished it while enjoying the pickles on the table. At the time of payment, I received a discount coupon, so I thought I would definitely come back. Thank you for the meal.

This is a restaurant I visited after a meeting. It is located about a 1-minute walk from Keio Hachioji Station, so the location is convenient. I ordered the sauce cutlet bowl this time. It is great value for the price as you get a decent amount of cutlet. The bowl menu is slightly cheaper than set menus as it does not come with miso soup, etc. The crispy coating is nice, but the meat felt a bit tough, perhaps due to being fried for too long. It's a good option for when you just want a quick meal without any fuss.

Just a 5-minute walk from Hachioji Station is Katsuya! I came to this restaurant early in the morning at 7 am to have breakfast. It's a street-level store and the interior is quite clean. It seems like they just renovated. They also offer takeout for fried foods. The tonkatsu breakfast set is only 500 yen, which is a great deal! The hot tea was also very comforting. The staff were friendly and energetic. The tonkatsu was freshly fried, the cabbage was crunchy, and the miso soup was delicious. I also received a discount coupon, so I'm thinking of coming back for dinner next time.

After leaving the beauty salon, I noticed that the place where Katsuya used to be was closed. Did they retreat due to the impact of the pandemic? When I couldn't eat there anymore, I suddenly felt like eating it, so I googled it and found out that at the end of November, it had moved a little closer to JR Hachioji Station from its previous location on the 2nd floor of a ramen shop near Keio Hachioji Station. I decided to go there to eat. The new location is near JR Hachioji Station, on the street in front of the north exit of Hachioji Station, with a few ramen shops lined up, including Katsuya. I noticed that they have a good selection of takeout options, and you can even buy just one piece of fried food, which is nice. Since I had plenty of time before my train, I went inside. While the set menu was recommended, I opted for the cheap and reliable katsudon with umeboshi. The kitchen was open, and I could see the staff, with senior members teaching the juniors how to cook. It was a bit slow even though the place was not crowded. The katsudon from Katsuya, after a long time, had a slight feeling that the egg yolk was overcooked. The new store seemed like the staff would improve with time. However, I felt that the rice portion was smaller than before, and the daikon pickles lacked the crispy texture and were a bit limp. I couldn't resist ordering a potato croquette and a crab cream croquette to take home before finishing my meal. The potato croquette had a crispy texture, almost like a drink, with a smooth interior and a slightly grainy texture, which was nice. It's good that they still give out discount coupons, and now they accept credit cards too. I wonder if I'll go back again.

Katsuya Hachioji store has moved from in front of Keio Hachioji Station to the Ramen Yokocho on Brick Street. This is my first post. The space doesn't seem to have changed much, but it feels more spacious. It's nice that you can choose between hot and cold tea. I ordered the usual sauce katsu don (plum) for 539 yen. It was a bit crowded, so the wait time felt a bit long. After about 10 minutes, I got the usual sauce katsu don with plenty of sauce.

In Hachioji, in addition to the usual Matsuya, the popular katsudon chain Katsuya is also open for breakfast. Despite feeling a bit strange to have "Katsuya" for breakfast, I was drawn into the bright and spacious restaurant with plenty of empty seats. The restaurant had two staff members working. In addition to the regular menu, there was a separate breakfast menu with four options: morning pork cutlet, morning miso soup, mini katsudon, and ginger pork. All options were priced at less than one coin, including tax. I decided to go with the mini katsudon set as I had some time to spare. The staff started preparing the katsudon from scratch, frying, cutting, and simmering the ingredients. Even the miso soup seemed to be heated using a parent-and-child pot, which impressed me. However, it took nearly 10 minutes to prepare, so it's something to keep in mind if you're in a hurry. The mini katsudon was surprisingly filling for a breakfast option. The katsu, probably a bit smaller than the default 80g katsu, was coated in a sweet and savory sauce, and went well with the fluffy egg and onions. The egg was slightly overcooked, but still enjoyable. I quickly finished the meal, including the vegetable-rich miso soup, all for around ¥450. While opinions may vary on whether it's a suitable breakfast option, for those who enjoy a hearty meal in the morning, it could be a great choice. The staff at this two-person operation Katsuya worked efficiently and impressively, despite being on the verge of being overwhelmed, which I found admirable. This is a place where you should visit with a relaxed mind and some spare time. I initially underestimated the time it would take, so I had to finish my meal in just 3 minutes. Don't forget to thank your digestive system. It's worth noting that breakfast service at Katsuya is only available at select locations, so pay attention to the signs inside and outside the restaurant.

It's been a while since I was in Japan! I wanted to eat something delicious, but I didn't have much time, so I decided to get a Katsudon from "Katsuya" for takeout! I was trying to ask about the differences between Ume, Matsu, and Take at the counter, but I didn't really understand, so I thought I ordered two Katsudon with two pieces of pork cutlet each, but somehow the communication got mixed up and I ended up with three Katsudon! I was surprised! When I checked, the manager came and offered a refund, but since it was my mistake for not confirming the order properly, I ended up taking all three home! I enjoyed two of them, but one was left over, so unfortunately, I had to dispose of it. What a waste! I guess I won't be needing Katsudon for a while! Haha.
