Go Go Curry Day (receive a topping voucher for next visit) was back, so I visited for the first time in over half a year. I headed to the Ikebukuro Sunshine Chuo-dori branch. If you go during Go Go Time until 6:00 PM, the 750 yen Katsu Curry is 630 yen! I hadn't seen this information at other branches, so I thought it had been discontinued. My wallet is always light, so the lunchtime small portion for 750 yen is too rich for me to decide. So, I hadn't been to Go Go for a while. But when I saw this price, I was delighted. Go Go Time has also been revived! When I checked online, Go Go Time is until 6:00 PM. I went inside and headed to the ticket machine. Even though it was still in the 2:00 PM range, the Katsu Curry button was 750 yen. I asked the foreign staff, "Is it not Go Go Time now?" "Go Go Time has ended." I thought Go Go Time had been shortened to just lunchtime. "Until what time was it?" "Go Go Time is no longer available." In other words, it seems like this rule itself has disappeared. "There is a notice in front of the store!" When I mentioned my complaint, the foreign staff hurriedly ran outside. *The store is underground. But my brain was already craving Katsu Curry, so I pressed the 750 yen button. I felt like I was being deceived, and I even thought about not eating for a moment... But today is the 15th, Go Go Curry Day. I wanted to get the next discount voucher. So, I should have ordered the Fried Fish Curry (700 yen) that I wanted to try more, but since the Katsu Curry is the cheapest topping curry and had already been inputted in my mind... I handed the meal ticket to the staff and waited. In about 5 minutes, my order arrived. Did they give me 2 next discount vouchers as an apology for my complaint? I always ask for sauce rental. And I asked, "Can I have a refill of cabbage?" I don't know about this store, but most other stores used to have a notice saying "Cabbage refill free," but this store didn't. "Yes, you can." The staff answered. Maybe it exists in the system, but they removed the notice because no one was asking for it. If I don't refill the cabbage, the small curry rice portion is too little, so I don't eat it at all. So, I was relieved. Go Go Curry is also very popular among foreigners! There is no doubt that the number of customers has decreased due to the decrease in travelers and the advancement of telework, so they must be struggling... Now, after several months, Go Go Curry. The rich curry sauce has a unique deliciousness that cannot be found elsewhere. *The Kanazawa Curry sauce is relatively similar, but... However, the Katsu seems to have been fried at too high a temperature... The crispy texture of the batter is lovely, but the tenderness of the meat is compromised. However, cooking is largely influenced by the experience of the staff, so it can't be helped. However. A few years ago, it won the Triple Crown of "Katsu," "Curry," and "Rice" in Nikkei Trendy, and I was satisfied no matter where I ate it... The average taste of Go Go Curry has undoubtedly declined recently. Now, going up the stairs after finishing eating... The Go Go Time, 630 yen Katsu Curry notice was still there, as it was... Even though the part-time staff may not have the authority or responsibility, I felt something was off. Running the store with only part-time staff and no regular staff. Many other stores operate this way, not just Go Go Curry... This may be effective in reducing actual complaints, but if customers leave without complaining, I think they will leave. Maybe they just forgot to change the notification? It could be, but in such small actions, you can see how they perceive customers. I like the taste of Go Go Curry, so I want to keep liking it as it was before... Go Go Curry Retort Curry Assortment Medium Spicy 10-Pack (2 servings x 5 boxes)
