Popular Japanese beef bowl chain Sukiya opens in Donghu, featuring affordable beef bowls and korokke (croquette) sets

Beef bowl

The miso soup was a bit salty XD, but the miso flavor was pretty rich~

The beef bowl comes with quite a lot of beef slices. The flavor is salty-sweet, but leans a bit more toward salty. It tastes better when eaten together with rice, as the saltiness is then more balanced. Old K thought it was pretty good, though not amazing. For this price, getting a good amount of beef slices is considered great value. The medium bowl turned out to be more than Old K expected, so he went with the mini bowl for the curry rice instead XD

Korokke Curry Mini Set (NT$109)

The miso soup in the bowl above is what was left from Old K’s set. The curry isn’t included by default. The curry was actually more flavorful than Old K expected. What’s special about this curry is that it has pickled cucumber and pickled radish slices, so it’s a bit saltier, but you get a nice crunchy texture in return. Old K thinks it’s better than the beef bowl

The korokke was quite thick and substantial—just picking it up felt heavy. Glad I didn’t order two pieces, that would’ve been too much XD

Added some korokke sauce~ The korokke crust was super crispy~ The crust wasn’t too thick, and the mashed potato inside was very smooth and dense~ On its own it’s not very strongly flavored, but with the sweet and sour korokke sauce, it was really tasty~ Had way too many carbs in this meal XD

Old K’s little tip: Sukiya is even more affordable than Old K thought~ Eating all this only cost NT$208, probably the cheapest Japanese chain around~ The beef bowl
