One diner enjoyed curry topped with a pork loin cutlet, spinach and mushrooms, keeping the rice portion at its standard size and choosing two levels more spice. They found the curry easy to eat even with the extra heat, and not overly salty. Combining a substantial cutlet with vegetables and mushrooms is one way to bring several toppings together in a single bowl. The menu also offers hand-prepared pork cutlet and chicken cutlet alongside the classic loin cutlet. Spinach is described as a good match for fried foods, giving diners who want greens with their cutlet another combination to consider.

Low-carb curry, made with cauliflower instead of rice, is another option. One diner chose it with scrambled egg and a soft-cooked egg. The menu also includes scrambled egg curry, topped with soft, creamy egg that envelops the curry. Whether you opt for a rice alternative or add egg for a milder, richer finish, you can build a bowl to suit your taste.

A diner reported being able to choose both the spice level and rice portion, which may help those who prefer a gentler curry as well as those looking for a little more heat. Spice tolerance varies, though, so first-timers may prefer to start at a familiar level rather than increase it straight away. Manga are available in the restaurant, and one visitor reported being able to ask for an English menu. It could suit a solo lunch, or a meal with a little reading alongside your curry.
