I arrived at the European-style curry restaurant in Jinbocho that I've been wanting to visit for a long time, just 10 minutes after it opened at 11 a.m. At that time, the restaurant was almost full. Luckily, I managed to get in just before the first round of seating. When I left at 11:40 a.m., there was a queue of about 20 people! It was really fortunate that I didn't have to wait. The interior of the restaurant was spacious and clean. The clientele included families with small children, groups of friends, and solo diners. The tables were large enough to accommodate any situation comfortably. The service staff were very friendly and efficient, which left a good impression! As for the menu, you can choose the spiciness level of each European-style curry: spicy, medium, mild, or for kids. I ordered the medium beef curry, which was a classic European-style curry. It had a rich roux with a hint of sweetness from the vegetables and a gradually intensifying spice that was incredibly tasty! The beef had a nice texture and was tender. The accompanying potatoes were soft, moist, and sweet, complementing the curry perfectly with butter. I highly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic European-style curry. Thank you for the meal!

I went to this restaurant for the first time. When I had the cheese curry inside, the cheese stretched a lot, making it a bit difficult to eat. For takeout, I chose the beef curry, and it had tender beef with plenty of it. The spice level was not as strong as I expected, but I started to sweat a bit after finishing it.

On weekdays at 15:00, I had a late lunch and appreciated the continuous service. There were only two groups of customers ahead of me. I ordered vegetable curry with medium-spicy rice (2/3 portion). It was served within minutes, and it came with potatoes, making it visually appealing. First, the curry sauce caught my attention - wow, what richness! Incredibly smooth and mild, making the rice go down easily. I didn't get tired of it until the last bite. This curry is a universal favorite that everyone loves. It's recommended for those who don't like spicy food or unique spices. This place is also one where you'll crave the curry again after some time.

I felt the goodness of European-style curry in the medium-spicy spice-scented shrimp curry, where you can also feel a moderate sweetness. In addition to shrimp, there were quail and mushroom ingredients, which gave off a good aroma. Compared to the nearby Bondi, the potatoes were difficult to peel and had a chewy texture, giving them a feel similar to make-in.

Recently, I've been eating a lot of Indian curry, but today I made my first visit to the renowned European-style curry restaurant "Gavial." The restaurant is located on the second floor right near Jimbocho Station. When I think of European-style curry, I always imagine beef curry for some reason. Before noon, I entered the restaurant and was seated at the counter. Looking at the menu, I couldn't resist and ordered the spicy beef curry. The service is quick. In less than 5 minutes, a set of cheese-topped rice, buttered potatoes, and curry were brought to me. This is truly the visual representation of European-style curry! I cut open a potato, sprinkled salt and pepper, took a bite, and then had a mouthful of curry. Surprisingly, for European-style curry, the spiciness comes to the forefront, followed by the rich flavor, sweetness of onions, and depth. It's an incredibly delicious curry. The beef, made from Japanese beef, is tender and absolutely delicious! This is a place I want to visit again and again. Next time, I might cheat on the beef and try chicken or seafood. Thank you for the delicious meal! ^_^

When I come to watch a live show at the Budokan, I always make sure to satisfy my heart with curry before going. Today, I arrived just before 5 o'clock, a delicate time when it's usually crowded, but I managed to get in smoothly without waiting. Of course, I ordered the beef curry!! The beef, so tender it melts in your mouth, is just fantastic. And the sauce has such richness, it's incredibly delicious! It's the kind of curry you can keep eating and never get tired of! Next time, I'll try making it spicier. Oh! The side of potatoes was also delicious, so fluffy and tasty!

I went at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. There were almost 90% empty seats. If you don't want to wait in line, this time slot might be good. Some nearby cafes had lines. The staff seemed cheerful and friendly. I ordered the mild beef curry. It was incredibly delicious. Even with only 1/3 of the rice, it was quite filling. I also ordered extra curry sauce.

Beef curry, medium spicy ★★★★☆. Expensive but delicious!!! Generous portion but finished it all in one go!!! The restaurant is spacious and popular yet not crowded, which is great. Though I felt the beef itself was tastier at Bondi, I want to try various options like mixed curry, seafood curry, and vegetable curry!

I operate a curry blog centered around the 23 wards of Tokyo. Tokyo Curry Magazine, found at tokyocurrymagazine.com, covers my curry adventures in Tokyo. I recently visited Kaviar, a renowned European-style curry restaurant and one of the top 100 curry restaurants in Tokyo, in Jimbocho. It was nearing the end of lunchtime, so getting a table was easy. Since its establishment in 1982, Kaviar has been maintaining its taste by continuously adjusting its sauce based on an original recipe. The menu at Kaviar includes beef curry, chicken curry, cheese curry, vegetable curry, mixed curry, seafood curry, pork curry, clam curry, scallop curry, shrimp curry, mixed meat curry, and combination curries with varying levels of spiciness: mild, medium, hot, and a kids' option. Although I was tempted to try the beef curry, I opted for something different and ordered the vegetable and clam curry from the lunch menu. The restaurant offers various seating options including table and counter seats. Having counter seats allows even solo diners to be seated quickly, which enhances turnover. On the table, there are condiments like Fukujinzuke, rakkyo, and salt. The vegetable and clam curry at Kaviar is served in a unique square plate resembling a lunch box, with plenty of rice generously topped with cheese. The combination plate features two types of curry with vegetables and clams. The potatoes are steamed and served with the skin intact, which can be eaten along with the delicious butter provided. I personally recommend melting the butter into the rice, which enhances the flavor. Although I ordered the medium-spicy curry, it tasted quite sweet, which made me wonder if I've become desensitized to spiciness! The thick and sticky sauce goes perfectly with the melted cheese on the rice, creating a visually appealing dish. The vegetables, including deep-fried eggplant, pumpkin, green beans, and thickly sliced mushrooms, were all excellent. While the base sauce for both the vegetable and clam curries is the same, eating them together enhances the taste with a combination of sea flavors and European-style curry. It was a satisfying experience revisiting Kaviar after a long time. Next time, I'll definitely try the beef curry!

I visited a popular restaurant that many people seem to go to. A bit late to the party, but I went alone. I tried the Mixed Curry for ¥1,700. The curry had seafood like shrimp and clams along with chicken. I chose medium spice, but it was milder than expected, with a noticeable sweetness. Personally, I'm not a fan of this fruity sweetness. The restaurant is on the second floor of a building right in front of the nearest station. The interior is spacious with plenty of seats. I sat at the counter, but the bustling atmosphere was a bit unsettling. It's a smoke-free environment.

The curry with medium spiciness has a subtle hint of sweetness. The accompanying potatoes are deliciously tender. The portion of rice is generous, perfect for women, and the sprinkled cheese adds a flavorful depth. Overall satisfaction is high. It's easy to see why this place is popular.

Arriving with high expectations for my first visit based on the reviews on Tabelog, I was slightly disappointed to find only one group of customers ahead of me. Nonetheless, not having to wait was definitely a plus! I ordered the seafood curry in large size with medium spiciness. Despite being labeled as medium, it was quite sweet. The portion size was indeed generous, probably around 400g for the large size (comparable to CoCo Ichibanya). It was very delicious, but the sweetness might not suit everyone's taste!

I had vegetable curry and chicken curry for lunch. After finishing my appointment, I wanted to grab lunch and headed to Jimbocho for a transfer. A friend had recommended the Gavial curry, so I slid in just in time for lunch. They serve lunch until 2:30, and I made it right on time. I was seated quickly, ordered from the lunch menu, and the food arrived promptly. I chose the spicy option, and it turned out to be spicier than I expected! It had a smooth texture but was incredibly flavorful and, did I mention, spicy! Even with the cheese on top of the rice, it was still spicy! I managed to finish it with the help of the buttered potatoes and the vegetables in the vegetable curry. It was spicy, haha. I usually go for medium spiciness, but for some reason, I thought a Western-style curry would be sweeter, so I went for the spicy one. Next time, I want to try it with medium spiciness, haha.

At the second floor corner of the intersection is a café-style shop. I ordered the spicy vegetable curry, typical of Kanda curry shops, and it came with potatoes. The interior had a cozy feel. The curry sauce had a slight thickness, with a nice balance of umami and sweetness, just the way I like it. However, the service from the staff seemed a bit robotic, which was a bit off-putting.

Entered the restaurant at 2:00 PM. There were various curry options, but I opted for the spicy mixed curry priced at 1,700 yen (with shrimp, clams, and chicken). Surprisingly, the interior had plenty of seats. Since most parties consist of two people, the turnover is smooth. The curry is of European style. With its spiciness, you can taste the spices, yet it also has a hint of sweetness, making it delicious! Cheese is sprinkled on the rice by default, and when you pour the sauce over it, it melts into a superb dish. It had a deep and sophisticated flavor reminiscent of a top-rated restaurant.

Date: 09/2023 Recent challenge store. I've been posting reviews of Bondi-style curries one after another. What I ate: Beef Curry (¥1750) tax included. I've been eating Bondi-style curries one after another. For comparison, I tried the beef curry as the main dish. Since I added cheese at the Bondi main store, I will go there again to try just the beef curry. As for my impression, it's a bit less sweet, a bit richer, and has a slightly stronger spice flavor. It might be similar to the Bondi main store. I prefer the meat here over Bondi. Overall, I slightly prefer this one due to personal taste differences, but I didn't feel much of a distinction. Since it's a direct lineage, that's to be expected, right? Still in the process of learning. Thank you for the meal.

Curry battleground in Kanda. A famous shop at the intersection in front of Kanda Station. Exit from the A5 exit of Jimbocho Station, look around, head towards Namaru Udon, and the shop is next to it. The name of the shop is prominently displayed on the second floor, so you should notice it. It's on the second floor of a mixed-use building, but once you open the door, it has a stylish atmosphere. A sweet taste with a crisp spiciness. The sweetness is really nice and delicious. Mild. Because of the sweetness, it's totally fine even with medium spiciness. The potatoes are also fluffy and good. Truly delicious. A taste you'd want to eat over and over. I added cheese on top, but it comes standard, so you might not need it.

After two months, I visited a curry restaurant in Kanda. I arrived around 12:40 and was seated at a two-person table with almost no wait. I ordered the lunch special with vegetables and chicken, topped with rice and cheese. It was brought to me quickly, and the curry, rich in flavor, suited my taste perfectly. I was very satisfied.

I visited here with the impression that Jimbocho is all about curry! After seeing Seafood Curry introduced on Arashi ni Shiyagare during my climb up the stairs, I initially decided to order it. However, the Meat Curry also caught my eye. When I looked at the menu, I found something called Mix Curry (Seafood & Chicken)! Since I wanted to enjoy both seafood and meat, I chose this option. You can choose the spice level from mild, medium, and hot, and I went for hot. It wasn't too spicy, allowing me to savor the richness of the flavor, and I was very satisfied with the taste. I debated whether to add cheese topping to the curry, but since the rice already had cheese mixed in, I'm glad I didn't. The potatoes had a moist and fluffy texture with plenty of moisture, a hint of sweetness, and were incredibly delicious. I pledged to come back again for sure.

On Sunday at 2:30 PM, with a group of 4 people, we decided to check out a curry place nearby after seeing the long queue at a highly famous curry shop. We stumbled upon Curry Tenma, which happened to be selected as one of the top 100 curry restaurants. Although there was a wait of about 3 groups, we were seated within 15 minutes. We ordered the Beef Curry, which was said to be spicier than usual, but it turned out to be surprisingly mild, almost disappointing in its sweetness. The potatoes and butter were nice touches, but the price felt a bit high.

For lunch today, I visited one of the curry specialty restaurants in Jimbocho after a long time. They offer three levels of spiciness for the curry sauce: mild, medium, and hot. There's a variety of ingredients available such as chicken, pork, beef, and seafood. The base price is around 1700 yen, so it's not the most cost-effective option. Extra servings, like a larger portion of curry, start from 200 yen (opting for extra curry might be a good idea). This time, I ordered the mixed curry (1700 yen). The taste is rich and reminiscent of European-style curry, with cheese mixed into the rice, making it even richer. It's a place to go when you want to treat yourself a little. Another satisfying meal today.
