How we read reviews →West Melbourne's Japanese curry specialist serving rich handmade kare and curry pan.
A small, cosy cafe near Queen Victoria Market with warm styling and a comforting curry-scented welcome; it gets tight and busy at peak lunch and dinner sittings.
Curry sauce varies by protein rather than one base recipe, house-made curry pan (bread) alongside anko mochi and teriyaki chicken pan, plus a rotating matcha and hojicha drinks menu.
House-made Japanese-style curry and curry pan draw favourable comparisons to eating in Japan, though some reviewers found the spice profile spicier and more peppery than they remembered.
Most reviewers find the pricing fair for the portions and quality, though a vocal minority calls small curries and $9-10 iced matcha drinks overpriced for what arrives.
