On Thursday, after eating curry at "Udon Curry Shop," I felt unsatisfied and searched for a nearby curry restaurant. I came across "Hot Spoon" and decided to check out the location. It was about a 3-minute walk from Gotanda Station East Exit. At 12:56, there were two customers waiting in front of the store, but they were waiting for takeout. They left as soon as their orders were ready. As I stood there, the door of the shop opened, and the staff said, "Please come in." Suddenly, I felt like eating again and ended up going inside. I was directed to a counter seat along the wall and looked at the menu. The majority of the menu items included "Beef Tendon Stew Curry." I casually ordered, "Beef Tendon Stew Curry, please." The staff asked, "Would you like white rice or multigrain rice?" I answered, "White rice." Without much thought. The portion of rice was either regular or large, and the spiciness level ranged from mild, medium, spicy, extra spicy, to super spicy. Being a fan of spicy food, I chose extra spicy. The counter seats along the wall could accommodate five people, with a few tables behind. After a while, I looked at the menu again and noticed there was a topping of spinach available. I asked, "Excuse me, can I have a topping of spinach?" The staff replied, "Please choose three toppings." The options were tomato potato, tomato broccoli, curry onion, potato salad, curry egg, boiled cabbage, and sautéed spinach. I ended up choosing spinach, potato salad, and tomato broccoli as my toppings. The prices were 880 yen for the Beef Tendon Stew Curry and 190 yen for the toppings. I had initially chosen white rice, but seeing most people ordering multigrain rice, I decided to switch. The menu mentioned that multigrain rice went well with the Beef Tendon Stew Curry, providing a sweet flavor and enjoyable texture. After about 3 minutes, a hot plate of Beef Tendon Stew Curry with chunks of beef tendons and a half-boiled egg arrived. It was steaming hot. The rice topped with spinach, potato salad, and tomato broccoli followed. The rice portion was quite generous. I took a bite of the Beef Tendon Stew Curry, and the beef tendons were incredibly tender and flavorful. The curry had a substantial amount of beef tendons, unlike any I had tried before. The place was constantly full of customers, most of whom were enjoying the Beef Tendon Stew Curry. The curry was so delicious that I couldn't help but keep eating. The spiciness was just right, providing a pleasant kick without overpowering the taste. The potato salad, served in a round dish, was also substantial. The restaurant offered great value for money, and if I had discovered it when I was younger, I would have frequented it often. The 270g of rice was more than enough, with plenty of curry sauce to go around. I got so engrossed in eating that I forgot about the spinach topping. I mixed it with the remaining curry sauce and rice and enjoyed every last bite. What a satisfying meal! I was so full after the meal. This kind of youthful and flavorful curry is fantastic. Despite the spiciness of the curry, it didn't leave a lingering burning sensation, which was quite surprising.

As it is a popular restaurant, I was looking for an opportunity to dine there, and luckily I was able to enter smoothly even during lunchtime when the line was short. I ordered the classic beef tendon stew with mixed grain rice. I chose the spicy sauce. I was really looking forward to it, but my first impression was that the sauce was too salty. The beef tendon was also just average. Maybe my expectations were too high, but personally, I found it too rich that I couldn't eat it without water. I might not visit again.

I missed lunch because the ramen shop I was planning to visit was closed, but luckily I found this restaurant in the evening. I decided to go in after seeing that it had been selected as one of the top 100 restaurants on Tabelog. They offer a choice of multi-grain rice or white rice, and you can even get a free extra large portion. I was happy to see pickled radish and pickled vegetables on the table. I ordered the beef tendon simmered chicken cutlet curry. It cost 968 yen including tax. The curry was served sizzling hot on a hot plate, which made it even more appetizing. The curry was delicious and easy to eat, with no strong flavors or bitterness, making it a perfect match with the Japanese white rice. I definitely want to go back to this restaurant. It was a delicious meal. Thank you.

This was my first time trying it. It has a deep and enjoyable flavor! The beef tendons were melt-in-your-mouth, the boiled egg had a gentle taste, and the toppings like broccoli, spinach, and boiled egg all required effort to prepare. I ordered double the amount of meat, but it was too much for me. I'd like to try something different next time! It would have been nice if there was an option for less rice. I left some behind, I'm sorry. It was really delicious! I want to come back again. Thank you for the meal.

Just a 2-minute walk from Gotanda Station is "Hot Spoon." They also have branches in Marunouchi and Nishi-Shinjuku. The compact restaurant has 6 counter seats and 8 table seats, with 4 tables not for sharing. They offer two main types of curry: "Beef Tendon Stew Curry" and "Indian-style Chicken Curry." Today, I wanted to try the "Beef Tendon Stew Curry," so I visited. The curry comes in 5 levels of spiciness, and you can choose between white rice and multigrain rice. Portions include small, regular, large, and extra-large. Today, I ordered medium spiciness, multigrain rice, and a small portion of rice (-20 yen) from the foreign staff. The curry and rice were served separately. The curry was simmering on a hot plate, making it very appetizing. I took a bite of the curry roux first. The beef tendon's fat melted in my mouth, followed by the tender meat, which was delicious. The complex spiciness of the spices was complemented by the sweetness of the onions. The boiled egg helped balance out the spiciness. The multigrain rice also paired well with the curry. The beef tendon stew curry is made by simmering beef tendon, chicken bones, and vegetables for 6 hours, frying 30kg of onions until they turn amber, cooking 12 spices, 2 curry powders, and flour in butter for 7 hours to make the roux, and simmering beef tendon meat and vegetables for 8 hours. Today happened to be a day when the beef tendon stew curry was 30% off on Fridays. Lucky me! I enjoyed the curry, which was made over several hours. Next time, I want to try toppings like cutlets.

It was not even noon yet, but there were already about five people lined up at this popular shop! Fridays are curry days, so the prices were a bit cheaper. You could choose the spiciness level, rice quantity, and type of curry. They recommended the medium spiciness, but it didn't really have that medium kick, so the next level up might have been better! The curry was served on a sizzling hot plate with the cheese melting nicely, and it was delicious. The beef tendons were incredibly tender and almost melted. The service was fast, and the turnover was good!

I visited a curry restaurant in Gotanda that was chosen as one of the top 100 shops! It was truly delicious, with tasty meat and a nice touch of having an egg on top! I highly recommend checking it out!

Got off at Gotanda station and decided to try something different than my usual wonton place, so I sat down at this curry restaurant just before the wonton spot. I ordered the signature dish, 8-hour simmered beef tendon curry, with multi-grain rice, mild spiciness, and extra serving. The sizzling hot plate arrived surprisingly quickly. Since I'm not good with spicy food, the mild option was easy to eat. The beef tendon was so tender. Although I started to struggle with the extra rice, I managed to keep going by changing the taste with the pickled radish and mixed vegetables provided on the table. I thought maybe I can alternate between this place and the wonton spot every 10 visits. And guess what, these two places are actually run by the same owner! No wonder it suits my taste! I read in another review that there's a 30% discount on the first Friday of each month, so I might make it a monthly treat. (By the way, the wonton place has a 30% discount every Thursday, in case you're interested!)

"I wanted to eat curry and use the discount coupon before it expires, but I hate waiting in line and even though I went early, there was a long queue. It was Curry Day on Friday, and I had the Beef Tendon Curry for 655 yen. I decided to add extra curry roux for 220 yen to make it a large serving. The turnover at the restaurant was good, but my thinking was slow and I ended up getting full. It was delicious."

Hello, this is Gourmet Actor. Tonight, I visited the renowned restaurant Hot Spoon in Gotanda. This restaurant was selected as one of the top 100 restaurants in 2022! I ordered the chicken curry with spinach topping. It arrived in just 10 minutes. The curry is served on a hot plate, so it stays warm until the end. You can choose between white rice and multigrain rice, which is great for health-conscious individuals. The amount of rice is also customizable. The beef tendon was tender and delicious. Here are some of the menu items: - Beef tendon curry: 760 yen - Double meat beef tendon curry: 940 yen - Beef tendon and egg curry: 820 yen - Vegetable curry: 860 yen - Beef tendon and vegetable curry: 860 yen - Indian-style chicken curry: 760 yen - Beef tendon and cheese curry: 860 yen - Indian-style chicken and vegetable curry: 860 yen - Stewed hamburger curry: 860 yen - Spinach, chicken, and egg curry: 860 yen - Cabbage salad: 60 yen - Mini salad: 150 yen - Warm vegetables: 250 yen - Extra curry roux (1.5 times portion): 200 yen - Toppings: soft-boiled egg, boiled egg, spinach, potato, 4 types of baked cheese, chunky warm vegetables - Spring vegetable curry: 860 yen - Spring cabbage and pork curry: 860 yen

I arrived at the opening time of 11 o'clock and was able to enter without waiting in line. I had the beef tendon curry with double meat and extra spicy. It was delicious with a rich flavor of meat that is always present. The point of its deliciousness is that the spices are not too strong.

The curry here is delicious!!!! I got the large portion, which was a good choice because the regular size portion seems to be a bit shallow. I recommend getting the large portion! There are also other menu items available, so I want to try the cheese curry next time I go. That's it.

I ordered the half-cooked egg and beef sinew curry with 10-grain rice in large portion. I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I asked for it to be mild. There were people coming in after work and some in groups, so the turnover is quick and it's easy to get a seat. The taste was satisfying, with a good amount of beef sinew. The free extra rice was also a plus.

After finishing work, I went to the "Hot Spoon" restaurant that I wanted to visit. I entered at 21:35 and there were 6 customers already seated and 4 customers arrived after me. I ordered the "Vegetable and Beef Tendon Stew Curry Spicy (with multi-grain rice, less rice 200g)" for 1025 yen, and two bottles of "Heartland Beer" for 550 yen each. The curry was served at 21:45 in a sizzling hot iron plate. It had plenty of beef tendon, potatoes, 2 carrots, pickled radish, and Fukujinzuke (mixed vegetable pickle) which were all you can eat. I ordered it spicy, but it wasn't very hot, so even extra spicy would be fine. I poured the curry sauce little by little over the multi-grain rice. I mashed the potatoes and carrots and mixed them in, the vegetables were cooked to perfection and delicious. I added a generous amount of my favorite pickled radish and Fukujinzuke, they were so tasty I wanted to buy some to take home. Even with less rice, I was full. Next time, I want to try the Chicken Curry extra spicy. The total bill was 2125 yen. Thank you for the meal.

This is a delicious curry restaurant located about a 5-minute walk from Gotanda Station, including waiting at traffic lights. The curry has a rich flavor, possibly because it is cooked with plenty of vegetables. You can also choose from 3 toppings for an additional 190 yen including tax, which feels like a good deal. You can choose between white rice and mixed grain rice, as well as the portion size and spiciness of the curry. It seems welcoming for individuals, couples, and even married couples.

A curry restaurant with a retro B-class vibe, which is rare in the hundreds of restaurants. I ordered the recommended beef sinew stew curry with regular rice, spicy, and five-grain rice. The rice portion can be regular, large, or extra-large, all for the same price. You can choose between white rice and five-grain rice. All of this costs less than 1000 yen, which is a great deal. The curry is served separately in a hot iron pot, so it stays hot for a while. The beef sinew is cooked to perfection, very tender. The curry, based on traditional flavors, with beef sinew cooked to the extreme, was truly delicious. However, the boiled egg didn't seem necessary, so I think ordering a soft-boiled egg would have been better. If this restaurant were nearby, I would definitely visit frequently. If they clean up the restaurant and get rid of the B-class feel, they could easily operate as a high-class curry restaurant.

The order is taken orally, and the operation is done by one person. The customer service is very friendly. After some hesitation, I chose the beef sinew vegetable curry. You can choose the level of spiciness, the amount of rice, and whether you want white rice or multigrain rice. The beef sinew vegetable curry (spicy, white rice, normal amount) costs 1,030 yen and arrived in just over 5 minutes. The curry sauce in the iron pot is bubbling and foaming. It contains 2 potatoes, 2 carrots, and 1 broccoli, all freshly boiled. I quickly poured the sauce over the rice and took a bite. The curry is based on a broth simmered for over 6 hours with onions and beef sinew, resulting in a deep and rich flavor. The sweetness and umami of the onions, the richness and umami of the beef sinew, and the complexity of the spices' spiciness and aroma blend together in the mouth. The beef sinew is so tender that it has lost its original shape, adding to the deliciousness. The warm vegetables also provide a nice touch, and I finished the dish in no time. It was a wonderful taste.

There is a restaurant located a short walk from Gotanda Station along the main street. I often visit Gotanda but had overlooked this place. Their hot curry with a kick is their specialty, and the large cutlet is great. You can choose the level of spiciness, but anything above medium is quite spicy. I couldn't handle it this time and went with medium, which wasn't too spicy.

I haven't had a chance to go since the 30% discount is only on the first Friday of the month, but I felt like eating it again, so I visited Hot Spoon. I ordered the beef tendon curry (655 yen), of course. It was a reliable medium-spicy curry, and I ordered extra rice. It was very delicious even though it had been a while since I last had it! I hope they change the discount to every Friday again!! (Seriously!)
