I bet SUKIYA was a highly-anticipated restaurant when boardings were placed around the restaurant before its opening.

Indeed, SUKIYA granted my wish for reasonably-priced beef bowls, with a medium-sized Gyudon at S$4.90 and a Half Boiled Egg Beef Yakiniku Bowl at S$7.90 respectively. In terms of flavour, the Beef Yakiniku Bowl would be slightly richer in flavour because of the additional sauté touch to the beef, but the Gyudon was not bad too given its lighter flavours to allow the natural beef flavours to subtly fill the mouth. A medium bowl would be sufficient to make up a regular meal, since it also came in huge portions of fluffy Japanese rice. Strangely, the rice was a tad marshy, of was that their unique texture that they were trying to deliver?

So perhaps Yoshinoya would now be facing a strong contender in the beef bowl scene. Hopefully, more outlets would spring across the country so that the affordable Gyudon and Yakiniku Don could be found everywhere.
