A pretty good option in the area. I stopped in on a weekend afternoon and had an enjoyable lunch. I had a happy hour fried chicken curry and it was a good lunch. The service was nice and I got my food fast. There was plenty of space and outdoor seating was available. The spice level of the curry was, I’ll say, very approachable. As in, I ordered ‘hot’ spice level and really couldn’t taste the heat. Perhaps my dish downplayed the spice but I get the feeling things aren’t too spicy. I’d like to try out more of the menu. Seems like a nice place to eat.
Stopped in from San Antonio Tx and wanted to get something that we couldn't get normally in Tx. It was a great choice! Having been stationed in Japan, this place offered a bit of nostalgia with the great food. The drink choice, along with a variety of Japanese dishes was just what we needed. It's a quick walk from The Space Needle and worth every step! There really isn't any table service here. You'll need to grab a menu and you're welcome to take a seat until you figure out what you want. Then, step up to the counter to place your order.
Solid tasty and well priced japanese tonkatsu curry with different spice levels, pork gyozas and chicken karrages were also good!
i got the pork tonkatsu with curry (i added extra veggies and a fried egg) and i 10/10 recommend! please go here!! the curry was the perfect thickness and seasoned superbly, and the tonkatsu was crispy without being dry. my roommate got the curry and croquette combo and he loved it, especially the pumpkin coquette.
I got the Chicken Katsu from this place, which seemed to be their most popular item This came with breaded slices of chicken breast, served over a bed of rice. Since I got takeout, it came with a side of curry, along with a side salad The chicken was decent. It had a good color to its breading, and was a little bit crunchy at parts, but I thought the breading came off a little too easily The actual meat itself was on the drier side, but not objectionably so. It was fine enough to consume without being too put off by What actually did impress me was the amount of chicken provided - there was a lot I did like the curry sauce - while not spicy, it had a ton of spices to it, and was quite flavorful. It had a nutty taste and aroma that was pretty solid The rice was on the drier side though, I thought it could've been cooked with more water. I also realized it would've been a better experience if I'd removed the chicken, poured the sauce over the rice, mixed everything together, and put the chicken back on and eaten it that way - because pouring the sauce over the chicken meant a lot of the rice at the bottom was just plain Like I mentioned, the portion size here was actually very good - there was a lot of rice, chicken, and curry. It's relatively expensive for a lunch - about $19, so I'm not sure if its fully worth it, but the size helps make up for that a bit Overall, it's a decent enough chicken katsu. the curry especially is good, but the meat could've been improved. 7.5/10
