We opted for the 6600 yen omakase course. We started with a toast of fresh lime soda. The course began with a surprising dish of lemon and ginger, which we dipped in salt before eating. Then came the appetizer platter with 5 different dishes, each visually stunning and bursting with unique flavors and textures. The staff explained each dish in detail, and we were amazed by the complexity and deliciousness of each one. Next was a fish dish featuring fried ayu rolls with a liver sauce that perfectly complemented the crispy and tender fish. The addition of watermelon on the side was a pleasant surprise. The highlight of the meal was the pork confit, slow-cooked for 6 hours to achieve a melt-in-your-mouth texture without any greasiness. The flavors were rich and satisfying. The curry and side dishes that followed were equally impressive, with 9 varieties of side dishes to enjoy with fragrant basmati and black rice. The shrimp curry was a standout, with a perfect balance of spice and flavor. We ended the meal with a choice of tea and dessert. Overall, our first experience with Sri Lankan cuisine was delightful and memorable. I would love to visit HOPPERS again for lunch or dinner to enjoy their delicious offerings. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I arrived just after 12 pm on the weekend and was able to enter without waiting. The exterior and interior of the restaurant are chic and stylish. The lunch menu consists of a plate with one type of curry and 9 side dishes. There are 3 curry options to choose from (shrimp, chicken, fish) and I chose the shrimp curry. First, the 9 side dishes are served, including dried sardines which are impressive, and colorful side dishes that stimulate the appetite. It was my first time trying Sri Lankan cuisine, but it had a familiar yet new flavor profile that was enjoyable to eat. All 9 side dishes were delicious! The curry portion may be small, but it was generously filled with shrimp and had a rich shrimp flavor, balanced well with the creaminess of coconut. I think I'm becoming a fan of Sri Lankan cuisine!

I couldn't make a reservation for lunch, so I arrived at the restaurant a little before opening. I was able to get a table on the first try. The lunch menu was fixed, so I chose from the menu board. I ordered watermelon juice and fish curry with tomato sauce. The portion was generous and the flavor was a mix of various spices, but easy to eat and very delicious. Even my friend who usually doesn't like white rice was eating happily!

【Food】Curry Plate for 1,800 yen. It may be a bit pricey, but it certainly looks luxurious with 9 different types of ingredients neatly arranged on the plate. Among the Sri Lankan curries I've tried, this one has the most variety. The curry is served separately, and you can choose from fish, shrimp, or chicken. This time I chose the fish option, and it came with two chunky pieces of fish. The fish was tender and delicious, without any dryness. The other stir-fried dishes and toppings were also well-seasoned and tasty. There were some items with slightly similar flavors, but with so many options, it's understandable. It would be nice to have some written explanations about each ingredient since there are so many varieties. The curry leaf is included in the side dish, so some people might find the texture a bit unusual. 【Ambiance】The exterior door is solid, and from the outside, you wouldn't imagine it's a curry restaurant. The interior has a concrete chic style, giving off a dining bar atmosphere. 【Service】No issues with the service. A woman who seemed like the owner manages the hall. 【Overall】It's delicious, so I might go back, but it's a bit pricey. Personally, I prefer "Serendip" over this place.

I arrived at 11:40 on Sunday and the restaurant was almost full, but I managed to slide into a counter seat with someone else. We ordered the Rice and Curry Sri Lankan set meal (Chicken) for 1650 yen each, and a small dessert + tea for 350 yen each. The 9 side dishes were colorful and got me excited. Each dish was delicious on its own or with curry. Even those who don't like beets or kale would find it easy to eat. The chicken curry had a pleasant spiciness, and I wished I could have eaten more. The dessert at the end was a refreshing spiced sherbet, and the brownie was subtly sweet with a simple taste. I was able to enjoy a slightly luxurious lunch in a stylish space. Thank you for the meal.

For lunch in Tokyo, I went to Hoppers! I had the Sri Lankan set meal. It was a weekend, so there was a line before opening. The lunch menu is simple, with the Sri Lankan set meal priced at 1650 yen. You can choose from three types of curry: shrimp, chicken, or fish (yellowtail). I chose chicken. My companion chose shrimp, and you can also add extra curry for an additional 500 yen. You can have unlimited rice refills. The plate was filled with hot dried sardines and the vegetable side dishes were delicious. Mix it all together. The curry wasn't too salty, and you can add as much as you want. The wine selection seemed interesting, and I'm curious about the evening course menu. (By the way, my companion was the only one drinking wine from noon). I just noticed they have Sri Lankan craft cola on the menu. I should have tried that instead of lassi. If this place was local, I would probably have lunch there often.

Curry exploration in Nihonbashi, Hachioji, Sri Lanka sequel, Modern Sri Lanka in Kayabacho Station direct access building, a new breeze is blowing, a popular spice curry restaurant, Spice Cafe in Oshiage has opened a second store in Hachioji, opened in 2003 in Oshiage, serving a variety of spice dishes, attracting attention with its unique spice cuisine. The second store, Modern Sri Lanka, focuses on Sri Lankan cuisine, a specialty store that opened in Hachioji in December 2021. The Kabuto One, a high-rise building that symbolizes Hachioji, opened, and Hoppers opened on the first floor facing the street. As part of the redevelopment where popular stores gather, the atmosphere has changed drastically. On weekends, Hachioji used to be quiet, but now it has become a popular spot where young people come and go. Hoppers is also a modern and minimalist store with a simple design. There is no prominent sign, and a small guide board at the entrance indicates that only those in the know can enter. The glass-walled interior allows you to see the kitchen, and the restaurant is bright and the service is polite. The Sri Lankan staff in the kitchen also provide courteous service. The theme is Sri Lankan cuisine for special occasions. With about 20 seats at the counter and table seats, it is a modern space that has been refined in a minimalistic way, following the style of an old spice cafe. The lunch, prepared by Sri Lankan chefs, is a set meal with three types of curry to choose from. Today, I chose fish, shrimp, and chicken curry, but additional items can be added. The additional curry is served in a larger portion. The plate of shrimp curry with added fish allows you to enjoy Sri Lankan dishes surrounded by the sea. First, a cardamom-infused hot water is served, which is a gentle service that moves the heart, preparing the body gently for the meal according to Ayurveda. Even in midsummer, the hot water is soothing, and for some reason, it feels comforting. Then, the one plate arrives, with surprising anchovies in the center and various side dishes surrounding them. Enjoying each dish one by one and understanding the individual characteristics, combining them to seek the taste harmony. The shrimp curry has a deep flavor with added shrimp broth and coconut, giving it a mild flavor. The fish curry, made with today's sea bass, has a spicy kick of chili and a pleasant acidity of tomatoes. The side dishes on top of the rice are also enjoyable, such as crispy urad dal papadum, anchovies sautéed in oil, green beans tel dal, bone-in dried sardines, oil-fried katsuobushi, fried eggplant in a richly seasoned moju, potato stir-fried with coconut flakes, and winter melon cooked in a sweet and savory curry. Each dish has a unique and enjoyable taste, using Japanese ingredients in Sri Lankan cuisine. The dried anchovies are surprisingly healthy and flavorful, adding a special touch. Mixing the side dishes with the curry, the taste becomes even more delicious. The balance between the bold and subtle flavors, the spices that burst in the mouth, and the familiar taste of the ingredients make it easy to enjoy even the aftertaste. Wanting to savor a little more, a small dessert with just the right amount of sweetness is served. A set of coconut brownie and tea, with Dilmah tea served this time, which has a wonderful astringency, depth, and richness. The brownie also has a spicy kick. Hopper, the namesake of the restaurant, also serves sweet crepes made with rice flour, shaped like a bowl, which is a must-try. Looking forward to enjoying the night as well, the charm of Sri Lanka deepens. Sri Lanka.

On Sundays at 6:00 PM, the 6,600 yen Sri Lankan course is mild compared to North Indian cuisine, with a lot of seafood dishes. It has a perfect balance of flavors, with a hint of broth taste and a touch of spiciness. I personally recommend the tender pork confit. They also offer dinner sets for 1,800 yen, which seems reasonable considering the location and stylish atmosphere. It could be a good option for a date night.

I walked to Kayabacho after 1:00 PM and had lunch at HOPPERS. There were seats available, so I entered right away. The lunch was 1650 yen, and I chose the chicken curry from three options. It was served in about 5 minutes, and it had a noticeable amount of fatty sardines (laughs). I mixed it with the curry and enjoyed the subtle bitterness of the bitter melon and various flavors. It was delicious, but the amount of curry was a bit lacking, so I felt a little unsatisfied. It was tasty though. Thank you for the meal.

I used it for a lunch meeting with close fellow business owners. Mixing and eating Sri Lankan curry seems to be trending lately, but this was by far the most delicious Sri Lankan curry I have ever had! The base price is a bit high (1,650 yen) and I added extra curry (500 yen), so it ended up being over 2,000 yen for lunch, but I think it's worth paying over 2,000 yen for this curry. It's a blessing to be able to eat the finest Sri Lankan curry while in Tokyo. If you visit Kayabacho, this is definitely a top contender for lunch!

I used to think that the lunch at this curry shop would always be the same. But when I went there after a long time, I was surprised to see a summer touch with bitter melon!!! There were also some other changes in the ingredients. It was wonderful and didn't get boring at all. I felt like coming back again.

The restaurant serves a rice curry set meal. I ordered chicken curry. There are many side dishes around the rice. The cute fish on the top is impressive. The side dishes have just the right amount of spiciness and the curry is delicious. Depending on the combination, there seems to be countless delicious possibilities for this dish.

Visited for lunch on a Sunday. Opted for the curry lunch plate (¥1,650-) which includes a choice of curry (shrimp, chicken, or fish) along with 9 side dishes. The curry had a campfire-like spiciness that was rustic and flavorful. The side dishes were small portions but with 9 varieties, it added up to a satisfying meal. The spices used were abundant but suited Japanese taste buds well. It was an enjoyable experience trying new flavors. The rice, which seemed like Sri Lankan rice (I'm not sure if such a thing exists, but it was slender), was unlimited for refills. If you're hungry, you'll definitely leave satisfied. They offer courses for dinner, so I will visit again. Thank you for the meal.

I visited a curry restaurant with impactful flavors that caught my attention. Instead of water, they served hot water, which was a nice touch. The curry had a hint of cardamom, which I didn't mind at all. Since it was a hot day, I ordered mango juice, which paired well with the rich and spicy curry. The curry was served in a small cocotte, which I initially thought might not be enough, but it turned out to be just right. There were 9 side dishes, including a flavorful sardine and tasty papad chips, creating a well-balanced meal. The sardine was easy to break apart with a fork, so I mixed it in with the curry. The cozy gray interior of the restaurant was lovely. I felt like I was eating a curry that was good for my body, and I left feeling satisfied. It was delicious.

I visited a restaurant in the Docho area for dinner. It was around 8:30 pm and I was able to get a table quite easily. They offered course meals as well as a la carte options, but at that time only a la carte was available (you could choose from three types of curry). The staff explained everything very politely. I ordered the chicken curry and a coconut sour (mixed with soda). It was my first time trying Sri Lankan curry, so I can't say if it was good or bad, but it was delicious with a nice kick of spices. It cost me 2,500 yen for one person.

★Sri Lankan Curry at Ethnic 100 Restaurant★ I visited for Sunday lunch! The Thai rice was delicious. The way it was cooked was amazing! You can choose curry from shrimp, chicken, or fish. The rice plate comes with lots of vegetables and a whole fish ball. It was impactful and the taste was gentle and good for the body. It was really delicious!

While watching TV, I learned about Sri Lankan curry and felt like trying it. I found a restaurant called HOPPERS nearby and decided to visit. To my surprise, it was not the typical curry restaurant I had imagined, but rather a café with an Italian vibe located in a new building in Tomimachi. When I sat down, they served me a warm white drink, which was actually a spiced white water as part of Sri Lankan Ayurveda tradition. Despite expecting cold water due to the hot weather, I sipped on the warm drink and felt both my body and mind calming down. The pork curry arrived at the table, served with various spiced condiments alongside. Unlike the curries I usually have from Japan or India, this Sri Lankan curry had a unique blend of spices, and mixing and matching the different flavors was a delightful experience. I followed the TV advice and tried combining different condiments with the curry, and each combination was delicious. The restaurant also offered unlimited rice refills, so I left feeling satisfied with the portion size. It was my first time trying Sri Lankan curry, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

This is a Sri Lankan cuisine restaurant that is listed in the Top 100 Restaurants for 2022. I visited for lunch and ordered the Sri Lankan set meal for 1,650 yen, which includes rice and curry with 9 different dishes. Today's curry options were shrimp, pork, and fish, and I chose shrimp. The shrimp curry is made with a coconut-based broth. They also serve a clear soup as a starter. The rice plate comes with 9 different side dishes, and the curries are served in small dishes. The portion size was surprisingly generous. The side dishes included grilled fish, simmered daikon radish, potatoes, and various vegetable dishes. The curry is on the sweeter side due to the coconut base, and it also contains shrimp. This restaurant offers a variety of Sri Lankan dishes all in one meal.
