What is “Ggyudon”?
Gyudon is a dish of thinly sliced beef and onions simmered in a sweet soy sauce sauce. It is a popular food in Japan because it has three characteristics: “fast,” “cheap,” and “delicious.”
Stores such as “Yoshinoya”, “Matsuya”, and “Sukiya” offer it. You may have heard of it, right?
What is “Sukiya”?
↑This sign is a landmark.
↑There are food samples in front of the store, so you can easily see what kind of dishes they offer!
When it comes to “gyudon” (beef bowl), “Yoshinoya” is famous worldwide, but there are many “gyudon” shops in Japan.
Yoshinoya Sukiya Matsuya Nakau
In Japan, “Sukiya” is as common as “Yoshinoya” when it comes to “gyudon”.
In addition to beef bowls, there are other menu items such as curry and beef kalbi, and the restaurant is known for being family-friendly with a variety of children’s menus.
Also, they collaborate with various anime and characters, and as of March 2023, they have released collaboration products with “Demon Slayer”.
This time I would like to introduce “Sukiya”.
It’s okay if you don’t understand Japanese! How to order and pay.
There are two ways to order at Sukiya: eat in the restaurant or to go.
* In Japan, taking something home is called “takeout”.
* The ordering and payment methods may vary depending on the store.
Eating in the restaurant
When you enter the restaurant, the staff will guide you to your seat. If the staff doesn’t approach you, you can say “Excuse me”.
You can sit wherever you like, but it might be better to call the staff’s attention so that they notice you have entered the restaurant.
Once you are seated, there is a touch panel at each table that you can use to order.
Although the touch panel is in Japanese, you can switch it to English or Chinese, and then simply order from the screen.
After a while, the ordered items and the order slip will be delivered to you. When you finish eating, bring the order slip to the cash register and pay for your meal.
Bring the order slip to the cash register → Pay the amount due → (if applicable) Receive change and receipt.
With that, your payment is complete. You don’t need to say anything, so please rest assured. Saying “thank you” or “gochisousama” (meaning “thank you for the meal” in Japanese) is appreciated.
Togo(takeout)
In Japan, “take-out” or “omochikaeri” is used to refer to the act of taking food to go.
If you are ordering togo (takeout), please go to the register and order and pay without sitting at the table after entering the store.
If you don’t know the name of the item you want to order, you can point to the menu with pictures and say the number to place your order. (It’s also okay to show a picture of the menu from this blog post.)
After the cashier tells you the total, you can pay and wait for your order to be prepared. There are usually seats available near the register where you can wait.
A staff member will call you when your order is ready. Don’t forget to pick up the chopsticks, spoons, ginger, etc. in front of the cash register.
Most takeout orders come with a plastic bag, but some shops may charge for it or ask if you need one, so it’s a good idea to bring your own bag just in case.
“Sukiya” beef bowl ♪
Basic beef bowl
Now, I would like to introduce “Gyudon”!
(They also provide a spoon, so those who are not good at chopsticks can also enjoy it with ease!)
price:
Mini(mini): 350 yen
Regular(nami): 400 yen
Medium(chuu): 580 yen
Large(Komori): 580 yen
Extra Large(tokumori): 730 yen
Mega(megamori): 880 yen
* As of October 2023
If you want a regular size, go for “Regular(namimori)”. If you have a small appetite or want to order a set with salad, go for “mini”. If you’re really hungry, we recommend “Megamori” to “Tokumori” .The picture shows the “Mini” size.
The soft beef is topped with onions and a slightly sweet sauce, and the rice is soaked in the sauce, making it delicious!
The beef bowl at “Sukiya” is a basic beef bowl. It’s fun to add toppings like cheese and green onions to create your own preferred taste.
If you’re trying Japanese food for the first time, we recommend gyudon, which is cheap and delicious.
The charm of topping with cheese
Let me introduce my favorite topping at Sukiya, Nami’s recommendation!
It is… “cheese!!!”
Beef bowl and cheese go really well together! Sukiya has a menu called “3 kinds of cheese beef bowl,” which is the most popular item.Certainly, I also order this every time♪
(If you order cheese, it comes with Tabasco.)
You can also order cheese as a separate topping (at the same price as the 3 kinds of cheese beef bowl), so it’s also good to eat beef bowl normally and put cheese on it halfway♪
Children are also satisfied with the children’s menu!

Sukiya is recommended for families as they have a variety of kids’ menu called “Sukisuki Set”. The Sukisuki Set includes three different dishes: “Gyudon”, “Curry”, and “Chicken Soboro Don”, and comes with an apple, juice, and a toy.
The price is 450 yen. It’s great that it comes with fruit and a toy.Children’s menus at Japanese restaurants often come with toys.
