Rarely do I like a place this quickly. Every thing was good, even the pickled radish. I had the Katsu Pork. Pasadena hasn’t had curry since Hurry Curry closed and I am grateful that this place exists. Staff was friendly, attentive and really knew how to prepare each meal they made. I was a cook for 10 years, I can tell.

This is a Japanese chain that has expanded to the U.S. The curry's flavor is very much like what I had in some places in Japan. The chicken katsu is also fried to perfection and goes well with the curry.
