- Black Curry (1,030 yen) Visit: 3.75, approximately 10 months later, 3rd visit. Visited on a weekday at 18:27. 2 customers before, 3 groups of 4 customers after. Curry arrived at 18:37. On my previous visit, after quite a long time, around 13 years, I missed ordering the Black Curry with spiciness level 5, so I returned within the year to redeem that missed opportunity. The menu has been updated and there was no spiciness level indicated. The Black Curry is inspired by Sri Lankan home cooking and is a curry that the owner has uniquely crafted. The black color with pops of yellow boiled egg and red cherry tomatoes is visually appealing. - The gravy has a slight bitterness and richness, with a hint of spiciness from the black pepper. Initially, I didn't find it too spicy, but gradually felt the heat, and started sweating right after finishing the meal. The Sri Lankan pepper adds a perfect level of spiciness that makes it easy to enjoy. - The gravy covers the entire dish generously, which I appreciated. - There were 3 large chicken wings, possibly added separately to prevent them from becoming tough, but it would have been better if they were thoroughly heated inside. - The crunchy onions provided a nice contrast to the spicy gravy. Even though it was spiciness level 5, I personally found it to be the most delicious level of heat. The slight bitterness and spiciness make it quite addictive. 14 years ago, I couldn't appreciate this deliciousness, but now I think this curry offers a unique taste that is hard to come by in Sri Lankan-inspired curries. I enjoyed this slightly bitter curry. I am grateful for this reunion after 14 years. Thank you for the meal.

I had been curious about this place for a while, so I decided to visit in the evening. When I arrived shortly after opening, there was a woman running the shop by herself. I had already decided on the black curry, which came with 3 chicken wings. It also came with a pickle. I wish there was more of it though. This was a downside for me. The chicken wings were well-cooked and flavorful, and they were so tender and delicious. However, the curry itself lacked a certain richness or depth. Maybe my expectations were too high, but overall, I was not very satisfied.

I went for a late lunch on Saturday around 2 PM and was able to find a seat as the restaurant had some availability. The place only had counter seats, which created a bit of a tense atmosphere. I ordered the spicy black curry, which had a deep umami flavor within the spiciness. The heat was strong but just right for me, with a solid spicy kick. The scent of cilantro occasionally added a nice touch to the taste. It had been a while since I last had it, but it was still delicious!

I had black curry. The spice aroma that comes through the nose from the first bite is delicious. The curry roux doesn't seem to contain flour. The saltiness is mild, maybe the taste comes from the ingredients? It's a small counter-only shop, but it's filled with the aroma of curry. It made me think that this is how the protagonist's curry shop in a manga with a magnificent dining table would be like.

This curry restaurant in Kichijoji has a great reputation. The interior is very small with only a counter. I ordered the seasonal curry with eggplant and minced meat. It was perfectly balanced with richness, depth, and flavor, and incredibly delicious without getting tired of it. I want to come back again, maybe even tomorrow. The mango lassi was also delicious!

Visited on a Sunday afternoon. This restaurant is open only in the evenings on weekdays, but on weekends it is open from 1:00 pm. The first time I tried Little Spice curry was when I was in junior high school... Climbing the narrow and steep stairs leading to the entrance of this shop always brings back nostalgic memories of those days. Probably the first curry shop I ever visited other than CoCo Ichibanya. When I arrived after 1:00 pm, the restaurant was already full, so I waited outside for about 20 minutes. It's so hot at this time of year... This time, I ordered the Bhuna (1,080 yen) with extra sauce and extra rice (+310 yen). Bhuna curry is a curry that is like stir-fried liver and gizzards that you would find at an Indian street stall. It's not something you see often. I also ordered the Ice Spice Milk Tea (320 yen) that I always get. My mother, who was with me, ordered the Western-style pork curry (1,100 yen). This time, both the curry and rice were extra large, so the curry and rice were served on separate plates haha. As a fan of offal and curry, is there any curry as great as Bhuna...? It's really delicious!! It's a fairly spicy curry, but not from chili peppers, it has a refreshing spiciness from other spices, so you won't sweat too much in the summer heat. It's not very watery, so it's satisfying to eat. The lettuce and boiled egg served with it also go well with this curry. The Western-style pork curry my mother ordered is something I have also ordered many times. The pork is tender with a gentle sweetness, giving it a nostalgic and well-crafted curry. Also, the Ice Spice Milk Tea is made with authentic spices from the curry shop and is incredibly delicious, and you get a lot for only 320 yen, which is really appreciated ✨ They seem to create their own original curry at Little Spice, taking inspiration from various countries' spiced curries, all of which are made to go perfectly with rice, making them easy for Japanese people who love rice to enjoy. In addition to the menu, there are limited edition curries available every time, which is also fun. You can enjoy cheap and delicious curry quickly, so if you're in Kichijoji, be sure to try it (*´ω`*)

As a big fan of liver, I was very curious about this restaurant. I heard that they serve delicious liver curry, so I visited with a friend. We ordered the Bun Curry and it arrived in about 10 minutes. The curry was dry-style, with no strong liver taste or smell, and it was rich and delicious. The salad had a refreshing dressing, which was a nice break between bites of curry. It was a loop of happiness! There was cilantro on top and bottom of the curry, so if you don't like it, it's better to mention it beforehand. It was really delicious, thank you for the meal!

Located near the popular bakery Dandy's, this restaurant had 6 people waiting outside 20 minutes before opening. Luckily, they opened 15 minutes early. I ordered the Black Curry for 1100 yen, which was truly black in color. It came topped with 3 chicken wings, half a boiled egg, and sliced onions. The curry was thick, spicy, and perfect for a hot summer day. The chicken wings were a bit difficult to eat but delicious. I look forward to trying the liver curry next time. Overall, the meal was incredibly tasty. Thank you for the wonderful food.

Located on Taisho Street behind Tokyu in Kichijoji, this curry restaurant offers a unique experience with its original curry flavors. I visited on a Sunday around 5 pm and was seated immediately without having to wait. The atmosphere is like a bar, and I sat at the counter. I ordered the Black Curry for 1100 yen. The curry was different from Indian or Sri Lankan styles, and not like Western curries either. It had a refreshing and spicy flavor, with a generous amount of sauce that left me feeling satisfied. Plus, it came with three large chicken wings! Highly recommended!

A curry restaurant located about a 7-minute walk from Kichijoji Station. I finally visited the shop I had been wanting to go to. I arrived around 2:30 and was able to enter without waiting. After debating between Keema Curry and Pork Curry, I decided on the Pork Curry. The toppings were simple as shown in the photo. The curry wasn't exactly sweet, but it had a sweetness that followed the spiciness. The sweetness and spiciness coexisted. It's rare but very addictive. Delicious. The pork was tender and melted in my mouth. It blended well with the curry. The dry chips were also very good in terms of flavor and texture. A truly impressive meal. Thank you for the delicious food. You don't need to eat the red chili pepper.

We entered as soon as the store opened at 1 o'clock, without having to wait in line. My wife ordered the classic pork curry, and I ordered the black chicken curry. The curry made by the mother is always delicious. I'm also interested in the seasonal curry, so I want to visit again soon.

I ignored the night-time carbohydrate ban and decided to stop by after work. There was only one other customer. I entered smoothly, ordered a small salad and keema curry. When a surprisingly large small salad arrived, I couldn't help but add a beer. The keema curry came with plenty of salad, and as a salad lover, I was very satisfied with that. The keema itself was very mild, so I thought it might be okay for nighttime. Next time, I'll follow the customer next to me and ask for less rice with my order.

Restaurant Review: 3.75 Curry Top 100 Stores 202264/100. This was the 20th store I visited on a weekday at 8:00 PM. There was no wait. It seemed like they only operate from around 4:00 PM, so I couldn't go when I wanted to. I ordered the Chicken Cream Curry, which was a Western-style curry from this European restaurant.

Visited around 7 pm on Sunday! No wait time, but the place is small and a bit hard to find as it's upstairs. The atmosphere at the counter seats is pretty cool. The signature menu was sold out, so I tried the dry curry instead. It was delicious with just the right amount of spiciness. I want to try the black curry next time.

The restaurant opens early on Sundays, but I want to be taken to the best restaurant by a taxi driver in the afternoon. I want to try the black curry at a popular curry restaurant in Kichijoji that was recommended. I registered and visited while my friend was shopping at Marui. I ordered the black curry (1100 yen) and ate it. I parked my car at a parking lot with a service at another store. I arrived on a Thursday at around 4:48 PM, there were no other customers at first, but one customer came in before I left. I sat at an empty table, looked at the menu, and placed my order verbally. The curry had three pieces of meat, the first one was a bit tough with bones, but the other two were soft. The curry was tasty and had a slightly chewy texture, but easy to eat. I paid in cash when leaving.

I visited around 1:30 on a holiday. It seemed like the first round was just full, as there were many groups, so I waited for about 20 minutes. I love liver, so I had the liver, and my friend had the black curry. We also had a green salad. The dressing for the green salad was delicious. Both the liver and the black curry were packed with plenty of ingredients. The liver harmonized the spiciness well, and it was very delicious, with more umami than any smell. The chicken in the black curry was also soft and easily came off the bone. The staff at the restaurant were polite and nice. I will definitely go back!

Namaste. Self-proclaimed Curry King here. The Curry King who has appeared in the Nishi-Tokyo area. Self-proclaimed. Beware of suspicious characters, everyone in the neighborhood. On June 3rd, infiltrated the famous restaurant "Little Spice" in Kichijoji! Black Curry - Adult Mood A hidden, intimate atmosphere that exudes an adult mood, with black curry rice that feels as provocative as ripe raisins. Tender chicken wings with a velvety vegetable sauce. Maybe not just onions, but also a hint of sweetness and umami from coconut. Deeply roasted spices with spiciness and bitterness. Balanced acidity. Rich and creamy. And then, served with fresh coriander, sliced onions, cherry tomatoes, and pickled shallots, this curry rice is meant to be savored lightly. There is no innovation here. However, each element in this curry rice is meticulously prepared. Before taking a bite, observe every detail closely. Don't rush. A lady pays attention to her underwear. Pay attention to the small changes. You will surely notice the careful workmanship. If you ask a lady, "Hey, did you cut your hair?" and she replies, "Huh? No, I didn't cut it." Or if you say, "Hey, that underwear is cute!" and she responds, "I've worn it many times." I have experienced many awkward moments like that, but I want you, who are different from me, to try this deep and flavorful curry rice.

I entered without waiting in line and ordered the black curry. It took about 8 minutes for the food to be served. I started by tasting the curry sauce and yes, it was spicy. But as I continued eating, I found that it was not just spicy, it had a good flavor too. The curry had three chicken wings in it, and the meat was tender and delicious. It was a tasty curry. Thank you for the meal.

Little Spice, a curry restaurant in Kichijoji. There were empty seats available. I ordered the Black Curry (1,030 yen) which was popular based on reviews. It was ready in 8 minutes. Wow, it's spicy! The sauce attacks your mouth with maximum intensity. But it's also delicious with a lot of flavor! There are 3 pieces of chicken in it, so I eat it while being comforted by the sweetness of the chicken, the acidity of the tomato, and the onion. But I can't stop sweating... I wonder if it's because of the heat indoors or the effect of the spices, or maybe both.

☆★Top 100 Curry Restaurants 2022★☆ I was intrigued by the phrase "the only place in Tokyo where you can eat curry with chicken liver" and chose the "Buna (¥1010)". I was also curious about the "Black" but was too intimidated by the 5 chili marks and couldn't bring myself to order it (laughs). One bite and you can really taste the liver. The curry has a paste-like texture. Since the meat is liver, it feels like eating yakitori. Not too much emphasis on spice, easy to eat, and slightly spicy. The spiciness here wasn't as strong as I expected. I think I could try the Black next time. The atmosphere of the restaurant, like a cave, is quite calming. No wait on a weekend evening, in fact, there were no other customers in the restaurant. Comfortable.
