“ Delicious food, cozy atmosphere and incredibly nice staff. Would absolutely come back for more. ”
“ Good curry here. I think they have a rotating menu, so what's available might change when you visit. The lamb curry was my favorite. ”
“ Very good beef tendon curry served quickly at an excellent cost! Friendly staff as well! This was a perfect place for me to stop on my way home from work. There was no wait on a weekday at ~8pm. Thank you for the meal! ”
“ Super flavorful curry. Order half size rice and add the cheese, you won't regret it. The guy will fry up the katsu to order so it may take a little longer for that. This is my new favorite neighborhood curry spot for sure. ”
“ Had the Gyu-suji (slow cooked beef tendon) cheese curry with extra rice and “rakkyou” (pickled onion). Fantastic meal overall. The curry itself was mild yet very flavourful. The beef was melt in your mouth tender. The cheese is scorched with a torch which adds a great smokiness to each bite. 350g of rice, plenty of beef curry, pickled onions, and a side salad all came to a total cost of only ¥1550 ”
“ I don’t know why some people say the waiter is rude. I got different experience. The owner and the waiter are really nice. I came at 6 pm, already people inside it, maybe the restaurant only fit up to 6-7 person, queue about 30 minutes. Came inside try the cheese + beef curry and the pork one. And it was the best Japanese Curry I’ve ever tried! Trust me, you must come here, bring your google translate or DeepL, they can’t speak English, the menu in Japanese, but they’re really nice people. This restaurant is a must when I come back to Japan! ”
