I tried out "Matsunoya," a tonkatsu restaurant chain operated by Matsuya Foods, known for its crispy and delicious cutlets at a reasonable price. It was my first time at Matsunoya. You can either buy meal tickets at the store or order through their mobile app. I opted for the mobile order as I could use a coupon. I ordered the Oroshi Ponzu Chicken Cutlet Set with Pork Miso Soup (small rice). There was a campaign going on for the Chicken Cutlet Set, but I used a 100 yen discount, so it cost 790 yen. I upgraded the miso soup to pork miso soup for an additional 100 yen. Also, my senior gave me a free potato salad coupon, so I had potato salad as a topping. The small rice portion was quite filling. The pork miso soup bowl was also large. The main dish, the chicken cutlet, was served in two rows with about 8 large pieces. It was a huge portion! I enjoyed it with refreshing Oroshi Ponzu sauce. Many people were ordering the Katsudon, which also looked delicious, so I might try that next time. I'm full. Thank you for the meal.

I quickly had a meal at Matsunoya Dojima store along Yotsubashi Street in Shinchi. The price offered by Katsuki-san was very reasonable (rice, miso soup, and cabbage are not free for seconds). The quality of the cutlet is higher than that of Katsu-ya (personal opinion).

On October 27, 2022 (Thursday) around 9:20 PM, I had a delicious curry with authentic fried chicken at Matsuya Foods, known for their curry. It's not just any fried chicken like at a tonkatsu or fried food restaurant, but authentic fried chicken from Matsunoya. The tartar sauce really complements the dish. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

In the area around Dojima, many restaurants tend to get crowded during lunchtime, but this restaurant stands out. The classic tonkatsu set meal may not be unique, but the quality at this price point is impressive. The generous portion of cabbage with carrot dressing and sudachi dressing complements the tonkatsu perfectly. Definitely worth a visit for a satisfying meal.

I visited "Matsunoya Dojima Store" around 10 p.m. on a Saturday in June 2022. Located about a 3-4 minute walk from Kitashinchi Station, the restaurant had a cozy atmosphere with a few customers already inside. I ordered the "Pork Cutlet Curry" for ¥630 and the "Mini Potato Salad" for ¥80 using the ticket machine. The curry came with a small serving of Fukujinzuke. The curry sauce was just right in terms of thickness and had a familiar taste of Matsuya. The pork cutlet was lightly fried and paired well with the curry. The mini potato salad with carrot dressing complemented the cabbage nicely. I tried both the special sauce and medium-thick sauce on the pork cutlet and curry rice, and the combination was delicious. The carrot dressing also worked well with the pork cutlet. Eating pork cutlet curry after drinking alcohol was satisfying. I enjoyed every bite with the cabbage until the end. "Matsunoya" offers a reasonably priced pork cutlet curry that is enjoyable. The convenience of being able to enjoy fried food at any time of the day is a great feature of this restaurant.

On June 24, 2022 (Friday) around 10:30 PM, I had a craving for a pork cutlet bowl and fried chicken after work. While heading home with my junior colleague, we found a restaurant that seemed to offer both dishes. Despite it being late at night and us being in our fifties, we enjoyed the meal without any hesitation. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I visited for lunch on a regular day. I didn't have much time, but I wanted to eat something fried, so I went to Matsunoya for the first time in a while. I ordered the pork cutlet set for 590 yen. It was crowded during lunchtime, but I was served in about 5 minutes. As expected of a chain store. The cutlet had little fat and felt a bit dry, but I enjoyed it when mixed with the breading, sauce, and mustard. The rice portion was generous, and I left feeling full. Thank you for the meal.

Today's lunch was the Kaki Fry set (5 pieces) at Matsunoya for ¥790. I was torn between the limited-time offer of 2 large prawns and the Kaki Fry, but ended up trying the Kaki Fry for the first time! The relatively large oysters were milky and delicious! The crispy coating and juicy oysters, along with the taste of the sea, made me feel very satisfied. I even thought about adding 2 more pieces (laughs). Thank you for the meal!

Today, I had to work in Dotonbori from the morning... It was around 7:30 in the morning... When I have to work in the morning, breakfast is a must. Suddenly, I saw a tonkatsu display. Tonkatsu in the morning. Not a bad idea. So, I decided to stop by Matsunoya. I entered the restaurant around 7:40. There were two customers already inside. I bought a meal ticket at the ticket machine near the entrance. Since I was there, I chose from the morning menu. Of course, I chose the morning rosu katsu set with tonkatsu. The rice portion size had options of small, regular, or large for the same price. I went for the large size! You could also choose a side dish. I chose the croquette. I sat at the empty counter seat and handed over my meal ticket. After waiting for about 5 minutes... here it came! Morning rosu katsu set with tonkatsu, large rice, and croquette! It was irresistible! Morning katsu! Let's start with the rosu katsu... It seemed to be about 100g of pork cutlet. It wasn't extremely delicious, but it satisfied my craving for fried food. The croquette was a creamy potato type. It was okay! It's nice that Matsunoya offers a variety of condiments to change the taste. I ate heartily and finished my meal. Now, off to work. Thank you for the meal.

Matsumotoya offers a convenient way to enjoy tonkatsu. They have a variety of fried dishes, but one of the popular choices is the chicken tenderloin cutlet. The meat is light and easy to eat, making it a good option for anyone. It comes with ponzu sauce, but you can also use the table sauce to add different flavors. The meat is not dry at all. This is definitely okay. The rice complements the dish well, making it a satisfying lunch.

I went to a restaurant that was having a special promotion where you could get double the amount of chicken cutlet in the pork cutlet & chicken cutlet set meal for the same price. It was a great deal, so I rushed to try it out before the promotion ended in a week. The restaurant had shortened its operating hours until 8 pm, and only offered takeout after that. I arrived just in time for the last order. Many people were ordering the pork cutlet & chicken cutlet set meal with two pieces of chicken cutlet. I opted for extra rice, which only cost an additional 1000 yen. I paid using QR code at the ticket machine. The meal came with a lot of cabbage and the cutlets were crispy. The lemon went well with the pork cutlet, while the tartar sauce complemented the chicken cutlet. Both the pork and chicken cutlets were juicy and of good quality, especially considering the affordable price.

Good day~! Due to the Hanshin Expressway renovation, the road is closed... the side streets are really crowded... (TДT) It's my last day working in Kita-Shinchi. Let's think about breakfast once I arrive at the site early in the morning~ Today is November 11th. Pocky and Pretz Day. Conger eel Day. Noodle Day~ Let's eat noodles~! I visited Matsunoya Dojima store, which is open 24 hours. I wonder when they added this menu? Cream curry udon. They have a morning menu with cream curry udon without pork cutlet, but... I still want a pork cutlet~ I ordered the Pork Loin Cutlet Cream Curry Udon for 650 yen (including tax). It takes a bit of time to fry the cutlet, so it arrived in about 7 minutes. Let's dig in~! Of course, it's creamy but not too sweet, with a refreshing taste of curry broth~ The frozen udon is reliably chewy (probably). First, I put the cutlet on top and sprinkled some shichimi spice. The photo is a bit messy. I was worried it would get soggy with the cutlet on top... Matsunoya's tonkatsu has crispy breadcrumbs and is delicious... Let's dig in~! The cutlet is crispy and delicious! The cream curry udon itself only has green onions as toppings. I'm glad I got the cutlet with it~ It's great that you can add this cutlet for only 200 yen~ Yummy~! Crispy~! Finished it all~ It was quite delicious. Thank you~!

I first tried Matsunoya at the beginning of this year. That day, I didn't have high expectations and tried the pork cutlet curry. Since then, I have gradually become hooked. Due to the impact of COVID-19, the number of people commuting to the office is limited, and the frequency of using restaurants that are easy to enter alone has increased. I find myself using Matsunoya more often because I can have a satisfying meal in a short amount of time. At first, I tried several menu items such as pork cutlet set meal, pork cutlet bowl, and pork cutlet curry. I liked the first pork cutlet curry, but the taste changed later, and personally, I felt the charm decreased. I have settled into a pattern of "pork cutlet set meal + occasional service voucher." For pork cutlet, I put plenty of Worcestershire sauce and mustard, and before putting it in my mouth, I mix the sauce and mustard on top of the pork cutlet with the rice to enjoy two different flavors. Although it's not necessary for a pork cutlet the size of Matsunoya's, I started eating this way when I was in my prime to enjoy a large amount of rice more deliciously. I've been eating like this for about 50 years now. Enjoying this for only 550 yen. I will definitely be a repeat customer in the future.

The distribution masks for pregnant women affected by Corona had hair and dirt mixed in them. Such terrible news during these times! But more importantly, my current obsession is tonkatsu! It's absolutely delicious! Considering the price, isn't it the best? Today, a familiar customer came to the restaurant and we opened Armand de Brignac and Dom Perignon. Of course, the restaurant was reserved just for them. In the end, even the staff got drunk and passed out. But the tonkatsu after getting drunk was amazing. We will do our best again from tomorrow!

I am exploring the area around Dojima in search of a satisfying katsu curry restaurant. The other day, I tried a certain diner's katsu curry. While the pork cutlet was ample, the curry sauce was a bit too spicy. I was looking for a more casual katsu curry experience, so I decided to visit "Matsunoya". They serve only soup curry, which I'm not a big fan of, but the thick-cut pork loin katsu curry seemed worth a try. After some hesitation, I entered the restaurant and purchased a ticket for the spicy soup curry with thick-cut pork loin (regular size). The thick-cut option takes a bit longer to prepare, so I waited at the counter. While waiting, I checked out the curry at the table next to me, and it smelled pleasantly spicy. The thick-cut pork loin was indeed substantial. It may not look very big in the photos, but in reality, it was quite filling. The curry had a good balance of soup-like consistency, moderate spiciness, and delicious fukujinzuke. Overall, it was a more affordable and casual satisfying meal than the one at the other diner. I really enjoyed it.

Located a 5-7 minute walk from Kitashinchi Station is Tonkatsu restaurant Matsunoya Dojima branch. This popular spot offers reasonably priced tonkatsu in a casual dining setting. With consistent quality typical of chain restaurants, you can enjoy delicious tonkatsu here. The restaurant is frequented by many solo male diners, making it a great choice for those looking to grab a bite after work. I ordered the popular menu item, Thick-cut Pork Loin Cutlet Set, which is a classic favorite enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of the crispy tonkatsu, cabbage, rice, and miso soup was excellent! In addition to dining in, they also offer takeout service, so be sure to pay them a visit. Thank you for the meal!

The Tsukemen shop has a decent number of seats and is easy to enter because of the ticket system. It's great that they offer a choice of cold water or tea. The noodles seem authentic and look like they're worth more than 600 yen. However, I found the broth to be a bit fatty. It's nice that there are various condiments available, but I couldn't find one that suited my taste. It would be great if they offered a larger portion of cabbage.

Visit date August 30, 2019, Friday around 3:00 pm. I went to Matsunoya for the second day in a row. This time, it's like a rematch... Yesterday, I ate the oil-drenched chicken set meal for ¥630 and felt it was too salty. After finishing it, I regretted not playing it safe with the pork cutlet bowl. So, this time, I went to eat the pork cutlet bowl for ¥550. I've had beef bowls recently, but when was the last time I had a cutlet bowl? Maybe it's the first time this year. I don't dislike it, but personally, I feel like it's similar to eel rice? I love it and it's my favorite, but it's expensive, makes you gain weight, and you can eat it anytime you want... Well, I'll stop with that digression here... As expected, you have to wait about 5 minutes because they fry the cutlet after you order. Finally, the eagerly awaited pork cutlet bowl for ¥550 is served! (^-^) This time, I didn't go for the large size, just the regular size. Still, it has a decent volume. Matsunoya's tonkatsu is just delicious and has a good cost performance. There's no chain restaurant like Katsuya nearby, so it's a valuable option. This time, the seasoning was mild with a nice sweetness. It's a heartwarming Japanese-style cutlet bowl! A cutlet bowl after a long time. It's a comforting taste! The seaweed adds a nice touch! I enjoyed it very much! I'll come back again! (^｡^)

Visited Matsunoya on Thursday, August 29, 2019 around 3:30 pm. Purchased a ticket for the new menu item, Oyakodon set meal for ¥630. The restaurant has both counter and table seating and is quite spacious. Waited for about 7 minutes. The Oyakodon set meal arrived! Quite a generous portion with about 5 pieces of fried chicken. As a vinegar lover, I was excited to try the Oyakodon after a long time. The chicken was thin but the coating was crispy, freshly fried, and very delicious. The seasoning was strong with a noticeable ginger flavor. Towards the end, it became a bit too salty, almost spicy, but it made me crave for more rice. I made the right choice by getting a large serving of rice for an additional ¥60! After finishing the meal, I was really full. The first half was delicious, but the strong seasoning in the second half might be a bit divisive in terms of taste preference. Thank you for the meal. (^｡^)

The tonkatsu at Matsunoya is of very high quality in my personal opinion. During the hot summer months, it's good to eat pork for nutrition. The place seems to attract a lot of solo salarymen. It's not a fast food restaurant, and there isn't a sense of urgency. I personally like that atmosphere because you're not rushed. I recommend trying the lunch set with eggplant fry to add a healthy touch. There are two types of sauce and two types of vegetable dressings to enjoy. It's nice to have a variety of options. Thank you for the meal~
