This past Monday, TC and I headed up to Convoy. We wanted to go to Wa Dining Okan for lunch since my daughter liked it so much when we went back in October. Plus, I wanted to ask the waitresses where they got their cool one shouldered aprons. If I had to wear an apron again, I'd want one like that. Unfortunately, Okan was closed so instead of driving somewhere else to eat, we went to another restaurant a few doors down...Notice, the sun is out and there is not a cloud in the sky. That changed the next day!
I've read about this place on other's blogs and passed by it many times whenever we go to Nijiya market.
I'm not a big curry fan but I was curious to try Japanese style curry. Both of us were.
It's pretty big inside. We took an empty table on the right hand side (as you walk in) near the front.
This seemed interesting. I may get this next time.
Hmmm, this one too!
We looked over their specials... I knew what I wanted to try.
I ordered the Corn Potage (soup) on the side. The waitress described it as a 'corn chowder' but it was kind of watery with not enough corn in it to be a chowder (at least for me). TC enjoyed it so she finished this off.
TC chose the Breaded Pork with Curry (mild) entree which included rice and salad. It was not a lunch special so it was $9 something.
I got the $5.95 lunch special - the Menchi (breaded and fried ground beef patty) with curry (medium spiciness). I didn't think the medium sauce was spicy at all. Next time, I will go up one more notch to compare. I liked how soft the meat was underneath the crunchy exterior. Lots of sauce and rice. We only finished about one half of our patties and barely made a dent with the rice. Leftovers ended up being Bert's dinner.
Cross section of the menchi (on the left) and of the pork. I liked my ground beef better than the pork. It reminded me of meat loaf but with curry sauce. Duh.
Afterwards, we went to Nijiya to get a popsicle (for TC) while I got those Aladdin sake bottles as late Xmas gifts for some friends. I like the blue one because it's prettier and the sake is filtered (clear). The pink Aladdin bottles have unfiltered sake. Something about the cloudiness of the sake grosses me out so I prefer the clear one.
Who else ate at Curry House:
Of course Dennis of "A Radiused Corner" has been here. In fact, he's been here many times...Here's his post on their udon.
Cathy (a Friend of Yoso) has been here but didn't order curry!
Vicky, (another Friend of Yoso) guest posted and also tried several dishes here.
And most recently, Darwin and Ange of the blog "Eat, Darwin, Eat!" went here for their lunch specials as well!
Next time, I want to try that Masala Curry and also their highest heat level (maybe not on the same day)!
