| - Japanese Curry Zen is a decent place to check out if you're looking for Japanese style curry rice.
The Food (3 out of 5):
Okay, I've been here a couple of times now, and both times I have had the Tonkatsu (pork) curry rice which is good and tasty. Now, curry rice is a staple in most Japanese households, and I am really used to not only having the white rice with pork cutlet & curry sauce over it, but also with other vegetables in the curry sauce as well (i.e. potatoes, carrots and sometimes celery). So, I was disappointed by the fact that you could not add any of these kinds of additional veggies. Also, they really should offer Tabasco sauce in the restaurant as well as another kind of ginger (their ginger is kind of sweet).
The Service (3 out of 5):
Service has been good here but not great. On the last time here we had to wait a little bit to get refills on our waters and to get more ginger. Yes, they were busy at the time, but then again, it's not like you can pack a lot of people in the restaurant. I didn't like the fact that our table for 2 was really close to the table for 4 next to us, it was kind of like we were there with that other party.
OVERALL:
If you have a hankering for Japanese curry (or if you don't want to wait too long at Monta a few doors down), then this is a decent place to go. However, I do think that I can cook a much better curry rice myself though!
