This is one of the best japanese curry that Ive had in the bay. We went back to try the fish curry not in this pic and it was the best. All the other options are amazing as well!

So glad this is open in Berkeley! Weve tried their curry and sandwiches and have loved both! We even came here twice in one week during their soft opening! Curry flavor and katsu quality are top notch!
