Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu One Holland Village is finally here. The largest gyukatsu specialist from Japan now has a second Singapore outlet after Raffles City. Expect the same medium-rare beef cutlets, a personal konro grill, and free-flow rice and cabbage. Sets start from $25++. Short lines, big flavours, and a cosy Kyoto feel.
Why Everyone Loves This Gyukatsu
Born in Kyoto in 2014, Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu built a loyal following with its signature crisp-outside, pink-inside beef cutlets. Each steak is coated in a koromo batter (a secret golden ratio of breadcrumbs, flour, and egg). It is then deep-fried at a precise temperature in fresh oil changed daily. The result: clean flavours, a light crunch, and juicy, marbled beef.
Prefer a deeper sear? Place the slices on your personal konro (traditional earthenware grill) and finish to your favourite doneness. It is interactive, fun, and simple. No fuss. Just good beef, done right.
Why One Holland Village? The mall is lively. It has a strong Japanese F&B cluster. It is perfect for quick lunch sets, casual dates, and family treats. Also, regulars can skip the constant queues at the first Raffles City outlet and head straight here.
Must-Order Sets & Prices
All sets come with free-flow rice, free-flow cabbage, Aka miso soup, Kyoto-style curry, spicy chilli miso, dashi soy, sansho pepper salt, fresh wasabi, and a signature onsen egg. Value is strong. Choice is wide.
-
Sirloin Gyukatsu Zen — $25 (single) / $40 (double)
The Kyoto classic. Tender and juicy with a gentle beefy sweetness. Cooked low and slow to lock in flavour. Double if you are hungry. -
Half-and-Half Gyukatsu Zen — $29 / $32
Best of both worlds. Pair Sirloin with either Tenderloin, Chuck Flap (haneshita), Beef Tongue, or Miyazaki A5 Sirloin. Great for first-timers who want to taste around.
-
Beef Tongue Gyukatsu Zen — $37
Thick-cut, buttery, and satisfyingly chewy. Add the house chilli pepper miso for a warm, savoury kick.
-
A5 Miyazaki Sirloin Gyukatsu Zen — $55
The premium pick. Exceptionally marbled Wagyu that has won Japan’s Wagyu Olympics multiple times. Melt-in-your-mouth luxury.

Tip: You can upgrade many gyukatsu sets to a Half-and-Half with your preferred cuts.

How to Enjoy It Like a Pro
Maximise flavour with small tweaks. It is easy and fun.
-
Start pure. Try one slice plain to taste the beef.
-
Onsen egg gloss. Crack the egg and coat a slice for silky richness.
-
Wasabi heat. Dab on fresh wasabi to brighten the fat.
-
Umami lift. Dip lightly in dashi soy.
-
Zing. Sprinkle sansho pepper salt for a citrusy tingle.
-
Comfort finish. Spoon Kyoto-style curry over hot rice.
-
Custom sear. Use the konro to add char to your liking.
Pro tips
-
Thin vs. thick slices: Thinner slices crisp more; thicker slices stay juicier inside.
-
Pace yourself: Alternate between crisp cutlet, cabbage, and rice to keep each bite fresh.
-
Sharing? Go for two different sets and swap pieces for variety.
