Naniwa-Taro is my go-to place around this area for authentic Japanese food. Seating is limited (2 tables) so it mainly serves as a takeout place for most people. I've been a repeat customer of at least 7-8 times already and the food quality is always great and consistent. Some of the items I always order are Takoyaki, Okonomiyaki, Modanyaki, Chicken Katsu Curry, Grilled Eel Egg Rice, Omelette Rice, and BBQ Beef Rice.
Their Chicken Katsu Curry is the most authentic Japanese curry I have tasted. It may not be as fancy as the katsu curry at Katsuya, but it certainly tastes like a delicious home-cooked Japanese curry. The owner is a super nice lady and always greets you with a smile. I can tell she really cares about the food she serves as well as her customers. Of all the places I get takeouts from, hers is the only place that pokes little holes on the lid of the Styrofoam container with toothpick, so that the condensation from the heat of the dishes does not make your food soggy by the time you get home. That to me is really what makes Naniwa-Taro special in my heart, getting takeout from there feels like getting a personal lunch box from my grandma.
