I'm so glad I walked by here. The "Dry" Curry is amazing! Never tasted anything like that in my life. The Berkshire Pork Katsu Curry is one of the best Katsus I've had. I wish I lived closer.
You won't find this Beef Dried Curry anywhere else - ground beef, grapes and curry mix topped with eggs and fried onions. So good.
New York PostAugust 25, 2014For the baked curry dish, the sauce is poured over a bed of rice and topped with an organic egg and cheddar cheese, merging multiple comfort food stars for a profoundly satisfying meal. Read more
Zac ZellersDecember 27, 2014this is some of the best japanese curry i've had in nyc. i like the tiny, luncheonette layout of the place. more of a pricier, slow-cooking, vaguely french approach to japanese curry than is typical.
Jin MoonNovember 12, 2017I love that their curry has a sweet taste to it. The price is very reasonable for manhattan. Their verison of spicy is pretty mild
This is be the best Japanese curry restaurant in New York. As always, the food is very good and consistent. Service is quick and they have good lunch specials.
Order the Berkshire pork katsu baked curry. Order it now and be forever changed
JeffreyAugust 31, 2014Among the nine curry options, we like the one with a crisp-fried Berkshire-pork cutlet best; the hamburger curry is also terrific, if not as easy on the eyes.
Delicious. I've been twice and have had the baked curry and the classic Japanese curry. Lines can get long, but well worth it!
Serious EatsMarch 17, 2014Solid crisp katsu and stand-up curry. Pay extra and you can get your curry topped with cheese and egg, then baked.
Pork cutlet is a must try. So are the baked curries. Go solo if you don't want to wait too long. I can usually find a spot to squeeze in.
RCFebruary 3, 2015The seaweed salad is great. The classic Japanese seafood curry was excellent but the shrimp and scallops were a bit tough. If you REALLY like spicy, Go for hot.
D CAugust 7, 2019love the spicy curry here. if you want even spicier, you can ask for that too!Upvoted Mar 2
I always get the Berkshire Porkchops. The little unexpected things I love here are the weighty curry ladles, the al dente rice, and the tiny pickled onions.
Jess LeungApril 29, 2012A variety of curries you can choose from but the best part? You can get it baked. Topped off with an egg and cheese, this is one savory, delicious, goodness.
The Local East VillageAugust 14, 2011"The beef dried curry — spicy ground beef over rice — came with four discs of hard-boiled egg, with threads of crispy fried onion atop... It was a wonderfully artful composition for $10." Read more
The chicken curry (with pan fried chicken) is excellent. Try the Japanese soda too. It's very light tasting.
Don't forget to pick up a frequent curry stamp card! Your 10th curry is free!
Brian KantFebruary 15, 2010Love J-curry and one one does it as good as Curry-ya -- reminds me of Tokyo but lush. Sweet marble bar and I like how they serve curry in little cauldrons. Recommend the pork but everything's good. Read more
DanNovember 22, 2015Can't go wrong with the Fried Chicken Cutlet with hot curry (order extra rice if you are hungry!!)
Pimpcess WongMay 3, 2013Very small place can probably hold 15ppl. I havent had anything here that i didnt like. Service is fast & friendly and food is yum!- Lee SimpsonAugust 17, 2016Chicken katsu curry is real good, but the house made potato croquettes are the best.
Cash only! My usual is the Japanese Classic Curry (hot) with mini pork cutlet and croquetto on the side. You can't go wrong. =)
Lev PolyakovMay 16, 2014There is a toto robot bidet toilet in the back. For those who know how much of a speed saver this is, enjoy!
Emilio CApril 15, 2015This place has got some great dishes! Get something with the fried pork! Cash only!
Jay MimesAugust 9, 2014The chicken curry and the pork cutlet are superb. Don't forget to try with egg!
Taylor WebbOctober 4, 2014First time having chicken katsu curry and it was so good here. Definitely coming again.
JR -May 31, 2014Berkshire pork cutlet was a piece of perfection, though I found the Japanese curry a tad too sweet. Hole-in-the-wall spot.- Subtweet CatAugust 21, 2014This place is tiny but has some of the best chicken katsu curry I've ever tasted in my life.
Greg TakayamaOctober 12, 2012Sometimes you just want Japanese curry and rice and sometimes you're willing to pay $15 for it even though it costs a dollar to make at home.
Shefali BhatiaDecember 20, 2011Order: Seafood Curry with corn. Side hamburger and fried shimp. With a refreshing Ginga Kogen to compliment. You wont be sorry!
If you're feeling decadent, order your curry baked (cheese + 🍳). Trust.
dawn.in.newyorkFebruary 9, 2015Has lost its authenticity and quality when the place has changed the owner or maybe chef. The price compared to its quality is non sense now.
- Treewit CApril 16, 2012Homemade hamburger curry is really delicious. The best curry I ever tasted in nyc.
Melissa KaitaJuly 15, 2012Adorable, tiny place with delicious curry. Get it baked with cheese for an extra $3!
Melody HanAugust 17, 2011Best Japanese curry in the city. Berkshire pork belly cutlet curry is heavenly. Happy hour 4-7 pm.

"One of my favorite cheap eats in New York City, decor has a weird mix between traditional Japanese art and baseball. Order a Grand Slam Curry and split it, really great food and unlike anything else."
