Rich Curry and Crispy Pork Cutlet!
I really enjoy my curry and was inspired to find a place after watching a video about a Japanese curry spot. I was SO glad I found this restaurant when I was at a nearby shop. The beef-based curry is incredibly rich and bursting with flavor, almost like a delicious, savory, umami-filled gravy.
I paired it with a pork cutlet that was perfectly thin and slightly crispy, fresh out of the fryer – exactly how it should be with curry. The portion of rice was just right, and the side of pickled vegetables added a welcome tartness. The restaurant itself is small, with about 10 counter seats and some standing room, and much of their business is take-out/delivery, evidenced by the steady stream of pick-ups.
Parking can be a bit difficult, especially during peak times, though it was manageable on a Sunday. The service was super-friendly and quick. I'd highly recommend this place!

Delicious Curry and Addictive Chicken Karaage
My experience at the restaurant was very positive, particularly with the food. I enjoyed the curry, which was on the sweeter side and not too thick, making it delicious. The Chicken Karaage was particularly addictive.
The service was delivery, and the price per person was between $20–30. The food received a score of 5.

Average Curry, Disappointing Tip Screen
My experience involved having the Katsu (chicken thigh) curry over rice. The curry itself was average and a bit too sweet when compared to Thai or Indian curries, though the chicken was moist and juicy. A significant point of concern was the tips suggestions screen, which was based on the total amount including the San Francisco 4.
5% mandate. This meant I was paying for and tipping on the employee's healthcare, which I am not a fan of. Overall, I was not impressed and won't be back.

Satisfying Curry Fix After Japan Trip
After a trip to Japan, this restaurant was exactly what we needed to satisfy our curry cravings. The vegetarian curry was pretty damn good, and the katsu curry was also good, though the katsu itself could have benefited from more flavor. While not quite as tasty as the curries from the Japan chain restaurants, it was still a pretty damn good experience.

Tough Pork Katsu, Recommend Chicken
My experience at the restaurant involved enjoying curry and fried protein. However, the pork katsu was tough. I would recommend the chicken katsu instead if you were to eat here.

Simple, Great Katsu
My experience at this restaurant was great because they know what they are about and execute well. They have only about 2 menu items, and it's fantastic. It's a no-frills place that just serves good katsu with sauce.

Delicious Curry and Katsu!
I went with my two kids and husband and we really enjoyed the curry and the side pork katsu. My 8-year-old even ate the whole dish with an extra bowl of rice! We had no problems with my six and eight-year-old, making it a great experience for the whole family.

Quick and Filling, but Lacks Variety
My experience at this restaurant was characterized by its speed and ability to be filling. However, a significant drawback was that everything tasted the same. All menu items had a similar flavor profile, which was disappointing despite the quick service and satisfying portions.

Good flavors, limited small bites
My experience at the restaurant was generally good. I appreciated the good flavor of the curry. However, I wished there were more small bite options, such as shishito or agedashi tofu.
Additionally, tofu curry would have been a welcome addition. The aji fish portions were a bit small.

Good Curry, Fatty Chicken, Nice Sandwiches
My experience at this restaurant was generally positive. I found the curry to be good, although the chicken was a bit fatty. Overall, it's a fine place to eat.
I particularly enjoyed the sandwiches.
