OK Y'all, so I'm not sure why the ratings for this place are so low.
This is certainly not 100% equivalent to the ones in Japan, but I keep myself from reviewing sushi places in SF by comparing them to ones in Japan.
So....
A lovely warm beef bowl (regular size) sets you back less then $5 here. That, plus a soda, and you're set for a meal and half, if not more.
Side order options (not very OG):
Macaroni Salad (odd, not an option in japan)
Cheesecake
Caramel Flan
Chocolate Cake
From an excerpt from the Japan Times:
"It was delicious," said Tadashi Ishigami, 23, one of the first to mark the return of the dish, downing a bowl at an outlet in Tokyo's Yurakucho district. "I don't care (about the safety of the beef) as long as I can eat it."
You see, there was a momentary ban on US Beef (insert joke here) to Japan back in 2006, and GyuDon returned to its glory days in Fall of 2006.
But I digress.
Sure, they should add curry rice. Sure, they should be open 24 hours and have these orange 'noren'/curtains that welcome you thru the doors. But they don't, and that's okay.
Gyu-don of my childhood, available in Rasu Begasu.
But not in SF. (-_-)
Oh, and yes, the dorktastic part of me spent about 10-15 minutes looking at the black and white photos of yoshinoya shops in the early 1900s.
Whenever I drive past one of these.. the old commercial runs thru my head..
Nice to Know Ya, Yoshinoya!
I think there's one in San Jose... road trip?
Remember:
Umai. Hayai. Yasui.
