”Soon, Tasty, Low-price", this is the most popular catch copy of Gyudon in Japan.
When you are at Shinjyuku or some kind of city( and especially near the station), you can find billboard colored orenge and green, written "吉野家”.This famous fast restaurant is Japanese Gyudon's old home.
If 吉野家Yoshinoya hadn't made Gyudon so popular, Japanese people might have not eat it often.
Now most of the Japanese buisiness men eat Gyudon at lunch time, or students eat it well. Because it is offered soon and tasty and low price.
Other fast restaurants for example 松屋Matsuya, なか卯Nakau, すき家Sukiya also offer Gyudon at their store. This is just my liking, but 吉野家's Gyudon is simple and tasty, and なか卯’s Gyudon is rich soup stock flavor and fresh raw egg on side menu matches it so well.
And also なか卯's "haikara-Udon" is recomended menu.(not Gyudon but it's Dashi soup is awesome!

"Tsuyudaku" is typical word which the master of Gyudon can use at Yoshinoya store. "Tsuyu" means soup and "daku" means a lot.
So "Gyudon Tsuyudaku" represents a Gyudon with a lot of soup. Of course, normal menu is tasty as usual, But plus"daku" menu is still popular among Gyudon fan. When you say "Tsuyudaku" at order, you can go one step ahead of other customers as a master.
Other special orders
If you use "daku" or "nuki" depends on your mood when you order, you can get menu that you want exactly. You can increase what you want using "daku", and you can put what you don't need out using "nuki".

You can see rice with a lot of soup in Donburi like Ochazuke. If you want to eat Gyudon much smoothly, this order is recommended.
Next order is "neginuki". "neginuki" means no onions. It's just my opinion but onions which have so much flavor of soup are key of Umami.So this may be unusual order, but there is such kind of special order at Yoshinoya. The photo of "neginuki" is below.
