Gyukatsu, an authentic Japanese dish made of breadcrumb-coated beef and deep-fried to a crispy perfection, has found a special place in the hearts of Indonesians, especially in Jakarta. This is what prompted Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu, a beef katsu specialist from Kyoto, Japan, to open its third branch in Plaza Indonesia, Basement #005, Jl. MH. Thamrin Kav. 28-30, Central Jakarta.
With more than 80 branches in 9 countries, Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu aims to address the demand for this Japanese specialty in Jakarta. By presenting the number one beef katsu cuisine from Kyoto, Japan, Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu aims to offer authentic quality while providing a delightful dining experience, under Japanese nuances, surrounded by the decor and theme from the Land of the Rising Sun.
The name gyukatsu itself comes from the words “gyu” (beef) and “katsu” (short for ‘katsuretsu,’ meaning cutlet). One unique aspect of this dish is its preparation, which ensures the texture remains juicy and tender inside the crispy breadcrumb coating.
Targeting the lunch and dinner segments for professionals and office workers around Plaza Indonesia and the Central Jakarta area, as well as of course Japanese food lovers such as families, children and adults who want to enjoy delicious beef katsu with a friendly service. Worry not, Worry not, all dishes at Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu do not contain pork or lard.
Timbul, Brand Manager of Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu Indonesia, said that as #1 Beef Katsu icon from Kyoto, Japan, food quality, service, and ambiance provided to visitors are always prioritized. His team strictly supervises everything from ingredients, kitchen operations, services, to the dining ambiances, to ensure that visitors leave with an unforgettable experience. Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu also values customer feedback to improve quality.
“Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu, the number one Beef Katsu specialist restaurant in Japan, now has its footings in Plaza Indonesia to further expose gyukatsu to the people of Jakarta. Prepared and served with quality ingredients, selected panko, gyukatsu cooking techniques, and various sauces and condiments unique to Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu, we welcome our visitors to enjoy a rich flavor experience in every set menu. We are confident that it will become the preferred Gyukatsu restaurant, a favorite dining spot, and a gathering place for Jakarta residents,” stated Timbul.
Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu, the best beef katsu specialist from Kyoto, only uses high-quality beef. With a thin panko crust, ten times finer than regular breadcrumbs, it produces a delicious katsu with a perfectly crispy layer.
The concept behind Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu‘s Beef is to serve it in medium-rare, to achieve maximum beef katsu. Deep fried in high temperatures for a short duration, this unique dish is crispy on the outside while the beef remains juicy and delicious. However, for katsu lovers who prefer more thoroughly cooked dish, there is a beef grill on the table to ensure each customer gets their desired level of doneness.
Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu presents an authentic concept just like in its home country, Japan. At Plaza Indonesia, we offer a variety of favorite Beef Katsu options, each with unique characteristics, ready to be served with Japanese rice, salad, and miso soup, such as:
- Sirloin: Soft and juicy, a classic Beef Katsu from Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu

- Tenderloin: Low-fat, high-protein, and tender beef
- Wagyu: Using Australian Wagyu beef with an ideal balance of tenderness and fat layer
- Beef Tongue: This menu is especially recommended for customers to enjoy beef tongue with Gyukatsu’s special spicy miso chili. This menu is not available at any other restaurant in Indonesia.
Another advantage of Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu over other katsu restaurants is the variety of sauces and spices crafted by experienced chefs in each set menu, which can be mixed and matched to taste. This allows customers to enjoy various flavors from the first bite to the last with a range of gyukatsu’s unique spices like Fresh Wasabi and Dashi Soy Sauce, Sansho Pepper Salt, Gyukatsu Sauce, Kyoto Style Curry, Signature Onsen Egg, Spicy Chili Miso, Pink Tartar Sauce, and Citrus Soy Sauces with Japanese Radish.
