Gyukatsu Motomura

hi, we plan on trying this particular restaurant.

https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g1066456-d7898108-Review...

but i heard that the place is small and has very few seating whereas my group consist of 10 persons.

the restaurant has 3 branches : shibuya, shinjuku and shinbashi

does anyone ever been there before and advise me which branch should i go to considering my group size and the queuing time?

Thanks!

I have never been to Gyukatsu Motomura, but according to Tabelog(Japanese restaurant review website) , the Shinbashi store has 17 seats, the Shibuya store has 9 seats, and the Shinjuku South exit store has 22 seats.

I've been to Motomura (and several other gyukatsu places in town), and like most gyukatsu shops it's set up like a ramen shop - not a group dining destination by any means. And certainly not for a group of ten.

You can probably all get individual seats at the counter, not next to each other, after you wait on line for awhile. Because there's a line you're expected to eat your meal efficiently and then leave, not hang out.

If you really want to try gyukatsu, Katsugyu in Akihabara might be your best bet. (http://bento.com/rev/4751.html ) It's inside a touristy electronics shop, so they're used to dealing with tourists, although I'm pretty sure there's nothing bigger than a table for four. (Also I'd recommend getting the premium beef there, the regular beef was a bit tough IME.)
