Abiko Curry

"There are three steps you need to follow at this casual Japanese curry spot. Step one: choose between rice, noodles, or creamy curry pasta. Next, choose your spice level, and finally add toppings like crispy cutlets and croquettes, raw egg, and cheese. Whichever route you go, you’ll get a generous serving of rich, deeply spiced curry that tastes even better on a rainy day. There’s plenty of seating in the back, among shelves full of action figures and toy robots." - bryan kim, willa moore, kenny yang, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick

"At this Korean-owned Japanese curry spot, there are three steps you need to follow. Step one: choose between rice, noodles, and creamy curry pasta. Then choose your spice level, and lastly, add toppings like meat, raw egg, and cheese. Whichever route you go, you’ll get a generous serving of rich, deeply spiced curry. Pair it with a fried cutlet or croquette, both of which are incredibly moist and have a crispy crust that’s perfect for dipping into the curry. This ultimate comfort food arrives at your table in under 10 minutes, and it tastes even better if you drop in on a rainy day." - Neha Talreja
