About this place
Just outside the ticket gates of Tachiaigawa Station on the Keikyu Main Line, Matsuya is a steadfast beef bowl counter ready to support everyday dining 24 hours a day. The shop runs on a self-service system with both counter and table seating: simply buy a ticket at the vending machine and collect your tray when your number is called.
The signature gyumeshi beef bowl is enjoyable on its own, but it also invites variety through toppings like coarsely grated daikon with ponzu, cheese, or kimchi. If you are after something heartier, meat-focused rice bowls such as the kimchi kalbi bowl glazed in a savory house sauce and the fragrant scallion-salt pork rib bowl offer richer pork and beef alternatives.
The curry selection is equally noteworthy. Options span standard chicken curry, the hybrid chicken kare-gyu crowned with gyumeshi beef, and a generous plate topped with a hamburg patty, along with distinctive toppings like cheese or scallion-natto to suit your mood.
For a full meal, the menu features teishoku sets such as the rich brown sauce hamburg steak set accented by mushrooms, alongside varied grilled meat sets. Rounding them out with sides like ingredient-packed tonjiru pork miso soup, fresh greens, or an egg lets you easily assemble a balanced spread.
Whether you are stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or a late dinner on the commute home, it serves as a convenient local staple for quick, hot fare.
