I've known about this place for a while now, but seem to come to all the surrounding restaurants every time I'm in J-town. Finally got a chance to check it out for lunch on a Sunday, craving curry and katsu. The restaurant is set up cafeteria style, complete with clearly labeled menu overhead, self-serve water jug and numbered wood blocks to take back to your seat as you wait for your food to be delivered to you. The space is bright and spacious, so its comfortable even without the frills.
I had the pork katsu curry rice and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and flavor in the dish. The katsu was thinly breaded and cut on the thicker side, which allows for a better appreciation of the juiciness of the meat while delivering on the important crunch factor. The curry carried chunks of vegetables and was well spiced, but had that characteristic sweetness I've come to associate with Japanese style curry. The mound of rice helped soak up the curry, and the little pile of pickled vegetables cut through the grease to keep the meal going. In all, it was a well constructed dish and satisfied any cravings.
