| - Play by play of the restaurant here at Stewart and nellis for oh! Curry.
The person taking our order was very pleasant and cordial. Though, she really doesn't know much about japanese curry, her hospitality and customer service makes up for it.
Ordering the curry, there's only 3 choices for the curry sauce. Regular, mild, and hot. Reminds me of S&B golden curry powder/blocks. Which in turn, makes me think that their curry sauce aren't homemade recipe unlike cocos ichibanya, or the local contenders, zen curry or kaba curry. But even if that's the case, the curry sauce was pretty good. I opted for hot only because I know the mild is almost like the regular...she let me taste the difference. I would have preferred it between mild and hot, but since that's not a choice, I have to go for hot. The scale for the choices of what they have would be regular (no spice which is 0 on the scale), mild (little spice which would have been a 2 on the scale), and hot (lots of spice which would be a 8.5 on a scale of 1 - 10). I prefer my curry to be right around 5, which would be a medium, so it's spicy but I can still taste the base stock of the curry.
As for the chicken cutlet curry that I ordered, it was nice and good. It was cooked just right. Not too dry but the breading is still nice and crispy.
Being a newly opened restaurant, relatively, they are doing a card promotion where if you have visited and ordered a curry meal, the tenth meal is free. This would drive some word of mouth, but if they want to have more presence, they need to actively promote the place.
The only reasons I'm giving oh! Curry a four star are these:
-Location. I wouldn't have known this place existed if I didn't use the walmart pass through way to get to Stewart...I really don't go to that specific walmart for obvious reasons.
-Menu. They don't have a full japanese curry restaurant menu.
-Curry sauce options. There's only three choices which I have covered; regular, mild, and hot. Reminds me of S&B golden curry...which I do cook myself...but instead I use panku breading.
Other than that, this place is a great alternative if you want japanese curry when you're in the east side of town and don't feel like driving all the way to spring mountain for Zen Curry or Kaba Curry...or all the way to California for Coco's Ichibanya.
