| - I wonder if this place is named after Sadaharu Oh, because this place knocked it out of the ball park for their Japanese style curry. Who would have thought that a East side Las Vegas strip center would have a hidden Japanese owned treasure.
If you didn't already know, I love my Japanese style curry, and even was awarded a ROTD for another curry house review in Las Vegas, but for some reason...I kind of like this place a little better.
Even though the past week, I made a pot of Japanese style curry at home, and hammered it, I still had a craving for it this weekend. So I followed my bookmark, then ventured out this part of town. Okay, I know what a few of you are thinking, East Las Vegas, and who the heck would come out here? This is what I believe, some of the best places are located in the hood, for example, Honey Kettle fried chicken in Compton, and some of best tacos in the valley are just up the street from Oh! Curry.
Walking into Oh! Curry is unlike most of the area, because I was very impressed on how clean this restaurant was, and how friendly the staff made you feel. The prices was very inexpensive compared to the other curry house in the valley, and their serving size was much larger than the competitors. My order of the Tonkatsu curry was very good, and Oh! curry had a bolder, but sweeter flavor, and had a smoother milky consistency than Zen. At $6.99, it was more than enough to make the me happy, and if I wanted more rice it would have been no extra charge for it. Too bad, I didn't take picture of this dish, because it didn't stand a chance, and there wasn't a grain of rice on the plate. Good stuff.
I thought of about the Orange dream while first ordering my meal, and why not...I was in bliss with the last dish. So what the heck, how much calories can jello dessert really have! Some how, the young lady got me thinking about their other flavor, Coffee! As soon as the spoon hit this dessert, I was smiling because I haven't had Kanten in ages. It was good!
Thinking about Oh! Curry, I'm stunned that this place is located so far from most Japanese folks in the Las Vegas valley, but on the other hand, Oh! Curry venturing out of their comfort zone will make anyone a fan of Japan's comfort dishes, Oh! well, like what the famous saying in the movie, Field of Dream...Build it and they will come! I have a feeling they will.
