I've always seen Go Go Curry in Japan and Thailand, but I never had the chance to try it. I'm glad they finally opened one here in the U.S. After reading a few other reviews, I was actually surprised to see that some people found it just decent. My go-to katsu curry spot has always been Foo Foo Tei in Hacienda Heights. For the longest time, I couldn't find anything quite like it. The curry there is thicker and richer. Go Go Curry turned out to be everything I prefer in a Japanese curry.
I ordered the "Homerun," which came with a sausage, a fried shrimp, and a hard-boiled egg. They forgot the egg, but that's alright. For the Homerun, there wasn't an option to choose a rice size, but I liked that you can pick your rice portion for the regular "Katsu Curry." Like I mentioned, the curry was thick and flavorful. It was sweet and savory with a hint of tanginess. It was also very aromatic. The katsu was perfect for me. I like that they didn't trim the fat because it adds texture and flavor. The fried shrimp was crispy and came with a dab of tartar sauce. The sausage was smoky with a nice crunch. If I had one complaint, it would be that I wish the standard portion came with a little more curry. I know I could just order extra, but it would be nice if they included a bit more by default.
Go Go Curry is located inside Tokyo Central. Seating can be hit or miss depending on when you go, and parking can be tricky. The price is a bit on the expensive side. For the same price elsewhere, you might get runny eggs like in an omurice. But it's really good, so I didn't mind paying a bit more. I guess the main takeaway is that Go Go Curry's style might not be for everyone, but it is for me. One of the best I've ever had.
