A few years ago, I remember that the curry I liked was mediocre and I didn't feel like going back, but I went with friends. We arrived around 10:30 and the place was already full until 13:50. A popular restaurant. We ordered the ¥1490 course (which included strawberry fair? but we didn't order it so no strawberries, salad, or steamed vegetables). We started with the sweet Keema curry on a large plate, and I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was compared to before. Apparently, it has won some awards. The spicy curry wasn't too spicy, I even saw young children eating it. It's the type of spiciness that hits you after you've swallowed. The rice was still hot and tasty, as they regularly switched to freshly cooked rice. The pasta had 6 different sauces: Japanese-style mushroom, cream, peperoncino, mentaiko cream, seasonal limited sauce, and meat sauce. They were all delicious and flavorful. However, the pasta noodles were a bit thick and hard regardless of the cooking time. This might be intentional to make the meal more filling and satisfying, but I'm not sure. Also, the pasta that was almost gone from the serving plate had clumped noodles that weren't very appetizing. There was also cold noodles (pasta, macaroni?) available, but they were underwhelming after eating warm pasta. The soups included vegetable soup and bacon soup, with the vegetable soup being a bit bland (good for vegetable lovers) and the bacon soup being average. The ice cream was Häagen-Dazs all-you-can-eat, but they only had vanilla and green tea flavors. Other flavors were gelato. There was also popcorn, but the toppings were mostly sweet flavors, no classic butter soy sauce or consommé. Understandable since it's a "sweets" section. They had about 3 homemade juices, and I tried the apple juice which was quite sour with little sugar. Next to it, there was a vending machine with commercial juices, including the option to mix them. There was also tea available. Now, onto the cakes. They were not terrible but not outstanding either, just average for ¥1500 quality. My friend said the melon mousse or cake was delicious. The cheese soufflé and chocolate cake were too sweet for me to finish. The tiramisu didn't have a noticeable coffee flavor, and the pudding was mediocre. The pudding cake, pudding roll, and strawberry-topped shortcake were tasty. There were small grapefruit mousse, strawberry mousse, chocolate cake, milk crepe, but I heard the whipped cream was too sweet so I skipped them. Although I found some desserts underwhelming, my friends said they were "very delicious" (excluding the pudding and tiramisu), so it might be a matter of personal preference. With an 80-minute time limit, after having 2 servings of sweet and spicy curry, I was almost full with 1 hour left. I only had a little pasta and tried the sauces, and had a small piece of each sweet, so even though it's a sweets paradise, I didn't eat much dessert. Personally, I was satisfied with the delicious curry and pasta, but if you're coming just for the sweets, it might not be worth it. The taste is rated at 2.7 due to the underwhelming sweets at a place called "Sweets Paradise". It was quite busy, but I noticed a staff member carelessly throwing an alcohol disinfectant container on the table while I was getting my food.
