| - I visited Oh! Curry today while visiting my grandparents. They live in the east side of town that is heavily Hispanic so food choices tend to be limited to taquerias, fast food, diners and occasional Chinese food, so this curry house was a refreshing surprise.
We walked in and found the restaurant to be spacious and exceedingly clean. The cashier/server was immediately helpful in assisting us and wanted to help us if this had been out first curry experience. She answered all our questions (this being my grandparents first curry experience) and promptly rang is up.
We got our soft drinks from the dispenser and sat down. We observed and commented on the giant sign on the wall that explained what Japanese curry is to the customer in Spanish, which I think was a smart move on the owners part considering the location of the restaurant.
The food was served quickly on cafeteria trays. The portions are very large so expect to leave very full or take home leftovers. This is usually the case though because rice is essentially half the dish. Dude note, extra rice is free for dine-in.
We ordered tonkatsu curry, beef curry, fried chicken and French fries. The curry itself is very reminiscent of Golden Curry that you can buy out of a box, but more flavorful with different spices. I'm not usually an avid curry fan, but I really enjoyed this curry. We all got mild because we don't like spicy food.
The tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet) was a little bland as in it needed salt, but otherwise moist and crunchy. The beef was sort of like roast meat, not like stew meat, but it was very tender and flavorful. I didn't try the fried chicken, but was told it was good. The breading is a thicker Japanese style, so don't expect KFC. The fries were amazing! Fresh and crunchy with great flavor. I would go back just for the fries.
Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and the curry. It's not quite as expensive as sit down restaurant curry (this is fast food curry). It's delicious at the right price (about $7 per dish). They have a rewards card where you buy 8 curry dishes and get one free. They offer delivery within 3 miles for $2 and a minimum $15 purchase (which is very reasonable). I look forward to visiting again the next time I am in Las Vegas.
