| - Ordered the Pork Katsu Curry with vegetables and white rice, takoyaki balls, and the mango cheesecake for lunch.
This is my first time eating at Curry Zen (via Uber Eats) but I probably won't order from here again.
First of all, I only ordered the Pork Katsu Curry because a few reviewers favored it over the Chicken Katsu.
Big mistake!
If I had to do it all over again, I'd order the Chicken Katsu or Sausage Curry, not only because they're cheaper, but because the Pork was so dry, it was absolutely inedible without the curry sauce.
Second of all, the curry lacked a complexity of flavor. I did like it. Loved the heat, but I wish it was a bit more balanced. Pretty good but it was definitely missing something.
Third, everyone raves about their takoyaki balls, but I didn't like them. It could just be my palette, but I didn't like how mushy and fishy-tasting they were. If you mushy and fishy, they are right up your alley.
Lastly, my favorite part of the whole meal was the Mango Cheesecake. Yum!! Other reviewers complained about how small the cheesecake was (and yes, it's small) but I thought it was well worth the price. It had little mango chunks inside that were so good. The cheesecake had a quality taste to it - all in all, very delicious.
Ranking of the meal:
#1 Mango Cheesecake
#2 Curry Sauce with Vegetables
#3 White Rice (perfectly cooked, no issues)
#4 Takoyaki (eh..)
#5 Pork Katsu (Yuck!)
