A notch up from the basic beef bowls, The Gyu Co’s rendition comes with a pretty generous portion (solid beef to rice ratio) and was thankfully more savoury than sweet.

Looking for something fancy, I just had to get the Truffle Gyudon ($13.90/ Regular). Topped with sliced truffles, truffle salsa, and perfect runny sous vide egg, the marinated Australian wagyu beef slices were sufficiently tender - not too lean or fat. I liked that beef slices weren’t too thin or thick either so there was a nice bite without feeling too heavy (I think it is because they slice them in-house). The heady aroma and subtle earthiness from the truffle items went superbly with the umami flavour of the homemade sauce and the sweetness of the caramelised onions as well. Need more? Make it a set by adding $3.50 for a bowl of miso soup, silky smooth chawanmushi (studded with mushrooms, fishcake, and edamame), and a drink!
