| - My first attempt to try Kaba 4 months ago was an epic FAIL! I relied on Yoda (my GPS) and thought he told me to go to the wrong place. The parking lot was empty and there was no signage. I was starving after getting out of class and wanted to try something else around the area. I've never been to Campus Commons (even though school is just a few feet away) so I thought I got punked! I don't normally crave for curry but after the Yelp event 2 nights ago, I had to have it again. I originally planned on coming back here next week after finals but the urge to have curry STAT was far too strong. I also had to claim my free green tea Kaba cakes.
The thing I love the most about Kaba is that you can pick a base (curry base with rice, curry fries or fried rice for like $5) then mix and match toppings (beef, chicken katsu, tonkatsu, chicken karate, pork, veggies, potato korroke, lumpia, Japanese sausage, deep fried tofu, spam katsu for $2 each) and sides (corn, cheese, spinach, mushrooms, fukujinzuke, ichimi, rakkyo for 50 cents each). Food democracy! The ordering process is simple and efficient. They have a list of options and just circle what you order. You can have your receipt sent to you via text message or e-mail - save the trees! On your 5th visit, you get a 50% discount!
So, today I ordered the curry base with chicken katsu, potato korroke, corn and mushrooms x 2 for my sister and I. There was a 20-minute wait because they serve your food hot and fresh, and the green tea cakes take a while. It's Aloha Friday so, everybody must stay calm. One of the peeps that runs the place gave me inside information which was a smart move to distract me and it worked! So, tomorrow the curry udon will be on the menu. In the next few weeks, expect: curry pizza, melon float with green tea ice cream...I should have left them my number so they could call me when the day comes. But yes, the food is great and the curry isn't overpoweringly spicy. The green tea cakes were steamed so they were soft moist. They look like mini doughnuts without the guilt. They come with a small cup of green tea frosting. G-double O-D good!!!
I'll be done with my last exam at noon some time next week and I'll be sure to go to Kaba Curry for more...and some Ramune!
