Well, now you can stop imagining things because Japan’s beloved gyukatsu chain is finally coming to Singapore! That’s right—Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu is opening its latest outlet at Raffles City Shopping Centre on September 7!

What You Need to Know About Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu

Joining the ranks of Singapore’s top F&B imports, Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu is Japan’s largest and most popular beef cutlet chain. Originating in Kyoto, this restaurant has perfected the art of gyukatsu, a beefy twist on the classic tonkatsu (deep-fried pork cutlet), and is famous for its long queues of eager diners.

With about 70 locations worldwide—including in Canada, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand—Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu is now making its mark in Singapore. Located in the heart of the city at B1 of Raffles City Shopping Centre, this new spot promises to bring that same beefy goodness to our shores.

So, why is Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu so popular? Aside from its legendary flavors, the restaurant is known for using only carefully selected cuts of beef that are thick, juicy, and lean—like sirloin, chuck, tenderloin, and tongue. The beef is coated in a delicate batter made of breadcrumbs, flour, and egg, then deep-fried for just 60 to 120 seconds to achieve that perfect medium-rare consistency.

Making sure to suit the palate of customers, the restaurant offers a variety of beef cuts, and if you want the ultimate experience, you can freely opt for Wagyu beef. For first-timers or those having a hard time deciding, you can also go for the half-and-half combination or grill-it-yourself options.

To elevate the flavors even more, Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu offers an array of condiments, including Kyoto-style curry, fresh wasabi, onsen egg with a runny yolk, dashi soy sauce, sansho pepper salt, and their signature gyukatsu sauce.

For a complete and satisfying meal, go for the set, which includes rice, cabbage, red miso soup, spicy chili miso, onsen egg, and Kyoto-style curry—known for its mild spiciness and rich blend of herbs and vegetables.

If you’ve made it this far, you’re probably already craving that tender and juicy gyukatsu. The wait is almost over! Mark your calendar for September 7 and get ready to join the queue—because Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu is about to become your new go-to spot for a meal you won’t forget. See you there!
