Gyu Nami

mentaiko tamago was bomb - savoury & sweet :) Sashimi and beef don were both decent! Owner was so weird though, telling me not to text him “so late” when he asked for a review of his food. Don’t bother with reserving a spot, it’s quite empty

we’ve ordered the burpple set (2 wagyu beef don for $25) & had been wanting to know what is the hype for gyu nami all about! the savings is not a whole lot, maybe ~$5 since each don is originally priced at $15. the shop is tucked away at a small corner and the ambience is pretty cozy. the don presentation is really cute as it resembled a volcano. the egg yolk is placed perfectly at the top of the mountain of beef and rice, accompanied with this rich creamy sauce drizzled down the side. 🥺🥺

the medium rare beef slices taste almost like a thinly sliced ham & the texture is good! however, the rice has nothing to rave about and the miso soup was pretty bland. overall it is a nice don to try, but me and my partner both agreed that we won’t order the beef don again. maybe cause it didn’t suit our tastebuds, since others raved about it. also, be prepared that they don’t serve any plain water, even when i mentioned that i needed to take my medication... only serves can drinks!

Wagyu Roast Beef Donburi ($25 nett for 2 bowls)

Amazing and affordable beef bowl that is delicious as usual.

Portions were small but the taste made up for it! Both of us liked the salmon don more :-) Will defo be back for it :-)

Used the 2 for $25 deal with Burpple and got the wagyu beef don. The presentation was on point and an absolute feast for my lady friend to enjoy taking pictures for IG. Overall wise delicious, but it’s a small bowl and you’d probably not be full on this meal. Pricy overall but for the taste... think it’s alright.

🍴Roasted Wagyu Beef Don ($15)

I am IN LOVE with this place! First of all, the presentation is simply gorgeous. With a beautiful pale pink colour, the roasted wagyu beef was peppery, flavourful and incredibly juicy, with a great mouthfeel and texture. Although the rice : beef ratio was a little disproportionate, with more rice than beef, the portions of beef and rice were still extremely generous and filled me up sufficiently. Also can we talk about the egg! Literally #eggporn… I audibly gasped when I poked the egg because the yolk flowed out so perfectly I doubt I’ve seen anything sexier in my life. With the friendly service and amazing ambience, I’ll definitely be coming back, since it’s also on #burpplebeyond! Pro-tip: since the space is a little small and it can be quite crowded with the lunch and dinnertime crowds, do make a reservation before you come down!
