I had beef curry. It's a European-style curry, thick and rich. Since it's beef curry, you can gently taste the umami and spices. It's a relatively tasty curry, but it's not very stimulating, so it's not very memorable. However, the rice served with the curry is cooked perfectly, with just the right firmness and stickiness. By the way, they also have a challenge menu for 5 people. One serving of curry is about 300 grams of rice, so 5 servings would be 1500 grams of rice. For some reason, you can eat more rice when it's curry, so it seems like you could actually finish 1.5 kilograms of curry.

Oh yes!! I finally found it after a long time!! This is the kind of Western-style curry that I normally want to eat. In Osaka, all you can find is sweet and spicy curry, which is not for everyone. If you don't like that, you're left with no choice but to dig spicy curry (laughs). I'm not good with fried food, so I don't usually order cutlets, but I decided to try it on a whim, and I was surprised at how light and crispy it was! I finished it in no time. There was a poster for a big eater challenge, but I think I can do it (laughs).

I was so hungry! I finished my errands around 14:15 without having breakfast. Most lunch places were already closed, but I finally found a curry restaurant that was open around 14:40. Despite being near the Jinai Park as mentioned in the review, the level 5 spiciness wasn't that strong, but the level 8 spiciness was deliciously spicy! On Fridays, they offer free eggs and drinks. I had the chicken cutlet curry with a spiciness level of 8.

On this day, they had a campaign where the pork cutlet curry was 770 yen. It seems they do this for the first three days of every month. You can also get extra rice and curry for an additional 220 yen. The curry has a very traditional taste. Additionally, I ordered the vinegar cabbage for 110 yen, which is basically pickles with decent flavor. The seating is only at the counter, and there is a washing area in front of the seats, so it can get a bit noisy if the timing is off while you're eating.

Today's job was near Tenma and the Imperial Hotel. Last year, when I worked at the same site, I had ramen, but today I feel like having curry. I like T&A Curry, so I decided to go to the shop in Higashi-Tenma. The lunch set is a good deal - normally 880 yen, but today it was 710 yen. It included beef curry, a choice of raw or boiled egg, salad, and a topping (today's topping was cream croquette). This chain always has manga available, so I picked up "Naruto Volume 1" while I was there. The staff asked if I wanted a raw egg or a boiled egg, and I chose boiled. I started with the salad while reading the manga. It had cabbage, corn, and potato salad - a bit small portion wise, but it's nice to get some salad in. The curry arrived with two cream croquettes and a generous portion of rice. I added a lot of pickled radish, as usual. The curry had a slightly thick sauce, typical of T&A, and was delicious. I didn't go for the level 5 spiciness, so it felt a bit lacking in flavor. I enjoyed the pickled radish and the cream croquettes, even though they were frozen. Finished my meal while reading about Naruto becoming Hokage. It made me want to read more. Thank you for the meal.

This is a very ordinary and familiar curry in Japan. It is a typical curry without any special twist, so it may feel a bit overpriced. If you are looking for a curry without any particular expectations, then this place is fine. I had to stay in this area due to some errands and there were no other curry restaurants open nearby, so I decided to eat here because I really wanted curry. If you have some time to spare, there are plenty of delicious curry restaurants if you are willing to travel a bit further. Fortunately, it is a non-smoking restaurant, so you can enjoy your meal without worrying about the smell of cigarettes. Eating curry in a place that smells like smoke can ruin even the flavors and spices of a good curry, so it's a relief that there's no need to worry about that here.

The other day, I went out for lunch from the office building where I work. I was craving curry, so I decided to try "Curry House T&A." This restaurant is a local chain in Kansai. It is a familiar sight in the streets of Osaka, but it seems to have lost some momentum recently. One unique feature of this place is that they offer delivery services. There are mixed opinions about the taste of their curry on online forums. This chain is operated by a company called Success Way. The interior of the restaurant only has a counter. The menu is displayed like this. I was unsure of what to order, but I ended up getting the pork curry with a raw egg topping. The raw egg topping came in a separate dish along with the curry. When I saw the amount of rice served, I was surprised by how generous it was. It seems like this place is known for its hearty portions. If you can finish five servings of this curry in under 30 minutes, you can get one free curry per day for three months. As for the taste, it was just an ordinary curry. It's a flavor that would appeal to many people. I don't think I'll be coming back for a second visit.

When you come to the urban area, you are often surprised by the deliciousness of chain restaurants and curry places that you shouldn't underestimate. However, there are some curry chains that may not suit your taste. I was curious to try this particular restaurant near the Imperial Hotel, where the customers didn't look like typical hotel guests. They were having a 100-year anniversary sale, so I tried the beef curry for 450 yen. It didn't look appetizing without toppings like meat and vegetables, but it tasted decent. It's not a highly recommended chain restaurant, but it's not bad either.

I was intrigued by the yellow sign and decided to go in. Inside, there were a lot of manga books. It was my first visit, so I ordered the pork curry for 400 yen. The curry that arrived was lighter than I expected, with a gentle and homely taste. The rice was a bit too soft for my liking. Some people were leisurely eating while reading books. The interior was a bit old but not too bad in terms of cleanliness. When it comes to the staff's motivation, they seemed like they were just doing their job as part-timers. If I'm craving curry, I would go to Coco Ichibanya nearby 4 out of 10 times, other Indian restaurants 4 times, and this place maybe 2 times.

A while ago, I used to live near this area, so I went to have lunch with my former partner. This curry chain restaurant in various locations in Osaka has a large glass counter where you can eat, but the interior somehow feels unwelcoming to women. I would never enter without my partner. Maybe it's because there are many manga books inside the store... I ordered the cheapest pork curry. You can make it spicier by adding more spice, but the price goes up each time. I ordered the basic taste without adding spice, but later regretted it. It was thin!! There was not much curry sauce and the balance with the rice was off. This pork curry hardly had any ingredients, so I felt like adding croquettes or fried chicken. It's probably the base for various curry menu items. The basic pork curry itself is cheap at 400 yen, but honestly, it's not very satisfying as it is. If you end up adding spice or ingredients, the price will increase, so is the cost-performance really good with this taste? However, the speed of serving was fast, so it might be good for filling your stomach when you're short on time. Menu Ordered: Pork Curry 400 yen

It's more of a curry stand than a curry restaurant, I guess. I often go to T&A. There are plenty of manga to read there, too, haha. I always get the pork curry with 5 times the spiciness and extra large serving. Even with the extra serving, it's only about 600 yen, so cheap. They also have free refills of Fukujin pickles and radish. Depending on my mood, I sometimes add croquettes or vegetables as toppings. When I'm short on money, it's really helpful. If you want to eat curry cheaply and fill your stomach, T&A is the place to go. However, in Osaka, when you think of curry, beef curry is usually what comes to mind. If you want to keep the cost down, specify pork curry.

I used to be obsessed with T&A curry for a while. I would spend 3-4 hours reading manga. I always ordered the cheese curry with triple the spiciness. After not going for 2-3 years, I decided to visit again. The usual order and waiting. The interior of the restaurant is still the same. The price of the curry is reasonable. The container for the fukujin is disappointing, and the pickled radish container is sticky. But the taste hasn't changed, right? Hmm... Was it always this flavor? It feels like the layers of flavor are thin, lacking richness. It tastes like instant curry now. Even though I used to love it, I can't eat it anymore. If you're tight on budget and craving curry, T&A is the place to go.

I topped my pork curry with vegetables. It came with fried potatoes that seemed like they were frozen and not very tasty. The amount of rice was a bit too much for me, but the curry sauce was a bit lacking. The taste was very ordinary, nothing special. It wasn't spicy at all, they didn't even have any extra spices like at Co**n. If you want more curry or want it spicier, you have to pay extra. Maybe that's because the default price is cheap. It seems like the kind of place where salarymen go for a quick lunch. I went there for a quick lunch too. (laughs)

Despite usually trying to eat clean, I suddenly craved something junky and ended up ordering through UberEats. I chose the fastest option, but ended up waiting for 40 minutes. I ordered a curry with tonkatsu, croquette, and fried chicken toppings. The curry was quite ordinary and easy to eat. The fried chicken, tonkatsu, and croquette were all decent, with a good amount of food. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

One lunchtime, I ordered delivery for the second time from Demae-can. This restaurant was participating in a donburi fair with a 20% discount promotion, and when I looked at the menu, they had dishes like katsudon and hayashi rice that are not typically included! I thought it would be a good idea to take advantage of this special offer, so I decided to order. This time, I ordered two servings of the special sauce katsudon (with miso soup) for 1,120 yen (normally 1,400 yen) and hayashi rice for 900 yen. Since I was already ordering, I decided to try a second dish even though it wasn't curry. The special sauce katsudon arrived promptly, and it was filled with plenty of katsu as befitting its "special" name. They use 170g of aged pork for the katsu, and the sauce was deliciously sweet. The rice was also tasty. The miso soup that came with it was Marukome's fresh miso soup with seaweed, but to be honest, I didn't really need it since the katsudon was already salty enough. For the second meal, I had the hayashi rice, which was a nostalgic and traditional version of the dish. It was good to have once in a while. It came in the same container as the curry I had ordered before, and also included tasty pickles and Fukujinzuke. The total for both dishes was 2,020 yen, plus a delivery fee of 310 yen, but with a 300 yen discount coupon, the final bill came to 2,030 yen. Overall, I felt like I got a good deal and enjoyed the delicious food.

One lunchtime, I decided to try ordering from Demae-kan for the first time. I was browsing through Uber Eats, Wolt, and Demae-kan to see where I could find a good deal. Lately, I haven't been paying much attention to menus because it seems like AU users get the best deals. During my search, I came across a limited-time offer for half price and free delivery, which caught my eye. I ended up ordering two meals: the half price Katsu Curry for 580 yen with double the spiciness for an extra 100 yen, and the half price Hamburg Curry for 580 yen with triple the spiciness for an extra 100 yen. I kept the curry and rice portions normal for both dishes. First, I tried the Katsu Curry. The pork cutlet was tender and the curry had a nostalgic flavor. The spiciness was well-balanced, more on the mild side, and the level 2 spiciness was just right for me. The pickled radish and mixed pickles were individually packed, making it easy to enjoy them. I particularly liked the large pickled radish. For the second meal, I had the Hamburg Curry. The hamburger steak had a stew-like quality and was described as being homemade with plenty of meat juices. It was on the leaner side, giving it a healthy and delicious taste. The spiciness level was set at 3, which I found a bit too spicy for my taste. However, spiciness preferences can vary depending on the mood. Both dishes were generously topped, and the curry and rice portions were satisfying without needing extra servings. The total came to 1360 yen, with free delivery as part of the promotion, so the bill remained at 1360 yen.
