"The first West Coast outpost of this Japanese chain inside Tokyo Central serves a nearly black, 55-hour curry that’s dense like veal demi-glace and almost chocolatey—more about the sauce than the fried cutlets, which act as vehicles. One wishes they were more liberal with the ladle, but the Home Run combo keeps it interesting with a snappy sausage link and crispy tempura shrimp (hard-boiled eggs add little, beyond protein), and the massive Grand Slam or World Champion might be the play for a solo feast. Must-try dish: Home Run combination plate." - Rebecca Roland
