Curry Life: Reviews & Ratings
Yummy cool place reminds you of Tokyo cafes excellent service and fast. Good value and again yummy!
Food: 3.8 I think their curry flavor is more a mix of Japanese and Indian curry... it's more pastey in texture too. I do like it! Service: Food court style that you order on the kiosk and wait for your number to be called. Self serve water station and you need to return your own plates back too. The staff seem very friendly and helpful. Ambiance: not a lot of tables inside. Good place for casual hangout and a quick meal.
Came here with a buddy after work. No lines. Fairly simple operation. Order your food yourself and wait for your order to be called. I ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry Rice and it was good. Didn't expect much as far as service goes when you're ordering through a tablet.
TLDR: Pork over ~ chicken and riceover ~ noodles. Been there twice and trust my review! Pork is juicer and fattier than chicken. Rice is better than noodle bc noodle might be a bit soggy. Food comes super fast and it's a fast casual so don't take your first date there loll! Also seen a lot of family go there. Kids love the place too. Pro tip: get desserts and drinks from other restaurants in the mitsuwa plaza. Guarantee a great time and meal. We love mochi cream there. Service is great. Seems family-run.
A great spot for classic Japanese curry. I've been here many times and usually go for the curry with rice, which is always delicious. I like to add their spicy powder, and the pickles are a great complement to the dish. The tonkatsu is cooked perfectly, making it a very satisfying and complete meal. However, I wasn't as impressed with their udon. The noodles felt overcooked and too soft, lacking that nice bite you expect. I'll stick with the rice in the future.
After getting takeout many times from here, I decided to come here with a few coworkers. The place is really small, but there was just enough space for 4 of us. Our food came out pretty quick! I got the Sukiyaki Beef Curry Rice. Mild was perfect for me! The beef is thinly sliced, similar to shabu shabu meat. Very satisfying and easily soaks up the curry. A little on the salty side, but overall really satisfying!
