got the basic gyudon with a soft boiled egg with the burpple deal! super affordable and portion size was sufficient for me but on the small side! love the crunch the tempura bits add, will recommend if you're in the area
You can’t go wrong with mentaiko! A pretty simple gyudon but very tasty and satisfying for its price point with the Beyond 1-for-1 deal. Perfect for small to average eaters with its average serving size.
Mentaiko was creamy and salty, going well with the beef and onions which were sweet and savoury. Most importantly, for me personally, the beef was moist - its juices made the rice flavourful, and not too plain or dry. I tend to find many rice bowls quite dry, and usually have issues finishing the rice, but it wasn’t a problem for this one (though to be fair the rice wasn’t much). I liked the combination of textures - creamy mentaiko, chewy beef and crunchy tenkasu, generously lying atop a scoop of fragrant Japanese rice.
Overall a very satisfying meal - made even more affordable with the Beyond 1-for-1 deal. There’re actually waaaaaaaay (not an over-exaggeration really) more choices at the in-store menu than the ones on the Beyond menu, so do go down to the store to take a look at the options.
We visited on a Saturday afternoon and easily got seats for the three of us - the top floor of the mall didn’t seem very populated at all when we went. The staff were friendly and helpful. Would come again with the deal. :)

I tend to find many rice bowls quite dry, and usually have issues finishing the rice, but it wasn’t a problem for this one (though to be fair the rice wasn’t much). I liked the contrast between the chewiness of the beef and the crunchiness of the tobiko and tenkasu.
