| - I was really excited to come here because I was craving curry, and read the reviews so I wanted to see if it lived up to the hype. Unfortunately, my first time here left something to be desired.
I came here with a few friends. When we walked in there were a few people seated at the bar, and two other tables, but it didn't seem busy. We weren't sure if we seated ourselves or not, and w weren't greeted so we just sat at an open table.
It took a little while before we were even acknowledged, but the server was apologetic and got us started with drinks. Unfortunately, when we ordered the server came back and told us they were sold out and that we had to reorder. After changing my order, I ended up getting the standard Katsu Curry and added a fried egg. When we ordered the server warned us there was only one cook, and that service would be a little slow. I didn't mind at first, but after over an hour of waiting, I started to wonder if we should go elsewhere. They did give us some jello straws to snack on while we waited, I appreciated the gesture, but didn't really care for the jello.
Once we got our food, I was a little disappointed with the portion size. As far as taste, the curry was flavorful and the katsu was cooked well. It was tasty, but not worth waiting over an hour for.
They gave us a complimentary dessert for the excessive wait time, a chocolate cake with a Chantilly sauce.
I checked in on yelp and got my topping free which was nice. It's a bit pricey considering how much you food you get. I did like how customizable their menu was, but the combinations add up quickly. Without any extras, and the free topping deal, my Katsu Curry was $9.
The food was okay, but the slow service was disappointing. They did try to make up for it, and I appreciated that so for now this place gets 3 stars from me. I may have come here on an off day, so I'd like to give it a second chance and edit my review!
