They only have 1 dish: Gyukatsu. 

Don’t be deceived by the simplicity of the menu. The meat and flavors are definitely far from basic.

Gyukatsu Motomora is conventiently located on the side streets of the Shinsaibashi stretch. With its growing popularity, queueing takes an hour or even more during peak lunch and dinner slots. The long line takes you to a small dining bar in the basement, with an open kitchen and just around less than 12 seating capacity. 

Your gyukatsu is prepared, sliced, and assembled right in front of you. These breaded steak cuts are served medium rare. You may choose to cook it further through the stone plate in front of you.

A few seconds of side searing would give you a nice toast on the outside, and tender meat on the inside. We tried it without searing, a 3-second sear, and a well-done version. Surprisingly, all three variations are still wonderfully delicious, tender and juicy. Our best reco would be between 3-5 seconds before you put in your mouth. 

These gyukatsu also come in sets of rice (with 1 free refill), a soup, set of sides and sauces. The sauces pairs perfectly with the meat, but personally, just pinch of salt is more than enough. 

This is probably one of the most affordable melt-in-your-mouth steak you can have in the Namba area. So if you are thinking twice to line up, our experience is a proof that it is so damn worth it.
