Western-style dishes & all-you-can-drink by the hour options offered in a chill setting.

👍👍 10/10 experience! I would liken it to Katsu-omakase, as there is only bar seating and they serve the food to you directly. I got the largest house special order, which had all of the different cuts of meat, seafood, and vegetables. I’m from the US so I was used to larger servings, so it was perfect...

👍👍 UPDATE (SEP 2022): Still running and still the best curry place out there 👍 The best Japanese curry and one of my favorite restaurant experiences overall: Having lunch and dinner here for over two years and I like it so much I kept it to myself so far... but I guess ppl figured out - so I post thi...

👍👍 This place served one of the best meals I've ever eaten! Delicious curry & great beer on tap. Excellent music playing while we were there (1960's/70's American R&B/Blues). Owner was very friendly and accommodating to foreigners. Definitely a low key spot to grab a delicious meal if you're in the are...

👍 Yummy croissants. Enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere, and its close proximity to the shopping district. But it’s far enough away from the crowds. I noticed dogs also ok. Lovely owner and friendly staff.

👍👍 Wow. The chef perfectly combines unique, creative, flavors with high quality ingredients in a well-crafted way. Seriously the most impressively modern food I’ve had in Japan yet. This is artwork. Bravo!

👍👍 Words fail when describing the aroma and fragrance of their curry. There was simply an explosion of flavour as soon as the curry touched my tongue. It starts of very fragrant with a slightly sweet note and leaves a salivating spicy aftertaste. The accompaniment of rice and fried protein (I chose ton...

👍👍 A unique little restaurant tucked away in the corner of Namba with fantastic food! We came across this place by chance and I'm so glad we did! The ladies working the place were kind and quick, taking our orders and serving our food very quickly. The mabo-curry was delicious, with a great balance of...

Neighborhood pit stop dishing up hamburger steak, tonteki & set meals, plus sake & draft beer.

👍👍 Everything about the place is absolutely amazing. Stunning food, the best cozy atmosphere, and even better service. 5/5 stars, would give more if I could. Absolutely recommended. Come early since it's a tiny place with limited seats, and you may have to wait for a while.

👍👍 10/10 great food in generous proportions for a great price, excellent. Simple dinner and snack menu and extensive drink menu and whiskey collection. After bouncing thru Asia for 3 week it was great to be welcomed into a bar like a local. The chef/bartender/dishwasher/ host, unfortunately I forget...

👍👍 Stopped by after walking for a couple hours in Nara Park. Curry with pork belly and the chicken+spinach curry were so tasty we finished in under 15 mins. They even have half size portions for those that aren’t starving or can’t eat too much in one sitting. Owners were so kind they even gave us these...

👍👍 From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that truly made our dining experience exceptional. The curry we ordered was not only delicious and hearty but also brilliantly presented, satisfying our cravings for authentic flavours. What made our visit unforgettable, howe...
