Gyudon with extra meat $20. Delivery or take out only.

The gyudon is extremely oily such that the rice below gets drenched. This leaves no contrast with the rice and the meat becomes a messy eat of the same flat flavor throughout the meal. The egg while a runny consistency only keeps this a runny texture. The meat is a little tough. There's no ginger.

Service is very quick. You wait outside the ordering window. The tissue they offer are the thickest tissues I have ever used.

Decent value. Takeout only though

Just discovered this little takeout section of Showa! Incredibly cheap for SF delivery but still delicious!

So far we’ve tried the katsu, beef, and eel… cooked to perfection. Udon and soup were great, very flavorful! Not sure how they manage to keep the meats from overcooking, but I’m not complaining. Even the poached egg was perfectly cooked! The katsu wasn’t as crispy but that was expected considering we ordered cheese on top and it had to be delivered - but the best part was it came in an aluminum tray so we could just quickly pop it in the oven and rebake it! So thoughtful!!!

Wow possibly the best Takoyaki you will find in California. Make sure to eat it fresh and off the skillet, dont let it sit! 💯/💯

I tried the dashi-tsuyu onion beef, soft-poached egg, scallions, but the beef was like chewing rubber band! very disappointed! Not sure about other items!

Ordered takeout from here and was super impressed with how well the food / flavors were kept. I enjoyed the classic gyudon with poached egg, which featured a light dashi broth, cuts of beef, green onions, caramelized onions, light seaweed, and of course a juicy poached egg.

Pricing is fairly reasonable considering it's SF, and quality of rice was notably good. My friend REALLY enjoyed the unajyu / unagyu don!

Katsu was great!
The gyu don with the pork meat was bad! Just a bunch of slop!

Ordered tonkatsu don on DoorDash, it was crispy on the outside but the meat was so hard, it’s like a rubber band

Honestly just writing this review so I don’t forget about this place. I don’t know how they managed to make their katsu stay crispy throughout delivery, but they done did it. Highly recommend!
