Until I took the time to recap what I ordered, I had no clue my curry was almost $36! Damn.
Obviously what is listed above is just some apps and what the hubby and I ordered. Not the whole group. The curry was good, tho not very spicy at all! I'm a little upset I paid an extra $2.45 for something that just had a very modest amount of spice. Even the kids that can't handle spice thought the 8-10 level was nothing. I should have known since they said they went up to 100 in spice. (Tho why do you only highlight 1-10?!) If I ever find myself back, I will order 100. Though hopefully it's not like $10 more for it!
The curry itself had a nice thickness and flavor. I do like A LOT of curry with my rice, so I probably would have needed two-three sides to finish all my rice. I left about half the brown rice on my small curry plate. Everything else was gone tho. The hubby liked his regular sized curry plate. He was going to order a large, but did the math in his head and it was actually cheaper to do a regular with extra rice. He's the opposite of me. He likes A LOT of rice.
Good spot to get some Japanese Curry. I just wish it were spicier!
Note: I don't know how, but they ran out of every single sake on their list except for the one I got. When I inquired about getting a bottle, they said they only had glasses left. I don't know if they do corkage, but maybe call ahead to see if they have sake if that's what you are craving. At almost $10 for that little glass, it will get pricey if that's all you're drinking.
