Located in the so-called Tenroku area in Kita-ku, Osaka City, this curry restaurant is one of the top 100 in the area. It has a rating of 3.73 when visited, making it a popular spot. The smell of spices wafts through the shopping street, attracting many people. However, it is quite a busy restaurant, so it's not easy to get in casually. Fortunately, on this visit, there was no line outside the restaurant. I only had to wait about five minutes before entering. The basic curry costs 800 yen, the curry with pork cutlet costs 1000 yen, and the curry with thick slices of beef costs 1150 yen. There are also special menu items available. The curry is served quickly, similar to a curry stand. It's reminiscent of Vasco da Gama in Takatsuki or Biant in Kyoto. Both serve rich European-style curry, with different levels of spiciness and ingredients, but they are served quickly at the counter in a stand-like manner. I ordered the curry with thick slices of beef. The beef was cooked to a tender texture, almost gelatinous, and the curry sauce was rich and flavorful. The spiciness was not too strong, with a rich flavor and sweetness. It paired well with the beef. It was irresistible. There were no visible vegetables on the plate this time, but I believe they were blended into the curry sauce. The simplicity and refinement of the flavors exceeded my expectations. It was a satisfying visit to the restaurant I had been curious about. *Bonus: The pork cutlet curry had a slightly thick and crispy cutlet.

It wasn't specifically a curry exploration with colleagues, but we ended up at a curry restaurant. The place is located right by Osaka's Kita district, near the Sakuragawa subway station. The restaurant is called Cardamom. The photo shows the curry, priced at 800 yen. It's been selected as one of the top 100 restaurants on Tabelog, and has even been featured on TV, causing long lines to form. The curry had just the right amount of spice, with a thick and flavorful sauce that truly embodies what good curry should be. Despite having eaten Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki at a standing bar before, I easily finished this curry.

I visited this curry restaurant, "Cardamom," located about a 1-2 minute walk from Tenjinbashi Rokuchome Station on the subway. It was my first visit. I arrived around 12:30 on a Saturday and there were already about 7 people waiting outside. After waiting for about 15 minutes, I was able to enter the restaurant. For my order, I chose the regular curry dish. The curry, priced at ¥800 (tax included), was a European-style curry based on bouillon. It had a nice balance of sweetness from aromatic vegetables and just the right amount of spiciness from the spices, making it very easy to eat. I could see onions and beef in the dish, but there were also various other ingredients that added depth and richness to the flavor. Overall, the curry may look simple but it had a complex and addictive taste that makes you want to come back for more. It was a well-executed dish that I thoroughly enjoyed. I look forward to visiting again if I have the chance!

I visited in early September. I happened to be playing in Tenjinbashi when I noticed a line forming at a small alley visible from the main street. There must be no disappointment at the shop where the old man is lining up!! So I joined the line. There were 3 groups in front of me, and 2 groups immediately behind me. A staff member came from inside to take orders, and after some hesitation, I ordered the "Thick Sliced Beef Curry". I think we were able to start eating about 10 minutes after lining up. I had already had a light snack, so I asked for half portion of rice, which they kindly accommodated. The meat was tender, and the curry had just the right amount of spiciness and sweetness, it was very very delicious. When I come to Osaka again, I would like to go back to eat at this restaurant for the taste, service, and atmosphere.

After a long time, I passed by a nearby place and saw that there was no line, so I decided to go to Cardamom, the Osaka curry place. I ordered the reliable pork cutlet curry. It's always delicious no matter when you eat it. The deliciousness keeps coming back to you. I might become addicted to it again!

Arrived at Cardamom casually. It looked like a dinner place so I waited with expectations. I ordered the pork cutlet curry for 1000 yen. The friendly female staff brought it out with energy. Curry always lifts your spirits, right? The taste was just okay, not as good as I expected. It was a decently delicious curry. Thank you for the meal.

Pork cutlet curry for 1000 yen. Extra large portion of curry roux for +200 yen. The curry was delicious, but the pork cutlet was just average, not as good as expected based on reviews. The curry alone would be a better deal at 600 yen without the pork cutlet. The restaurant is good, but not exceptional. I prefer the curry from the famous restaurant near the station. Their curry is more expensive, so I hope for a raise in salary to keep up with inflation.

During work in Osaka, I visited this restaurant for lunch for the first time. Luckily, there was only a short wait as they were just about to open. I ordered the Pork Cutlet Curry for ¥1000 and a large portion of rice and curry for an additional ¥300. The free pickles provided were two types of yellow and green. Pickled radish and pickles were available for an extra charge. The pork cutlet had a crispy coating and moist meat. The curry had a refreshing aroma with a rich flavor. The restaurant had a lot of older customers, giving off a nostalgic vibe. Overall, it was a high-quality pork cutlet curry.

It was just before 2 p.m. on a regular day, and there were three people waiting in line before me. I was called in about 10 minutes. I ordered the limited-time curry, but since I couldn't handle spicy food well, I opted for a regular curry with summer vegetables and added a spicy topping. It was my first time eating here, even though I always noticed the long line in front of the restaurant. The curry was delicious. However, I still don't understand why this place always has such a long line for its tasty food! The staff was friendly and the service was great. Thank you for the meal.

I used to visit this place quite often before the pandemic, but today's visit made me feel like they were really putting their heart into it. The thick-cut meat was prepared with great care and you could see them working diligently in the back of the restaurant, cleaning the meat. The European-style dishes were delicious!

Located about a two-minute walk from Tenjinbashisuji 6-chome Station on the Osaka Metro Sakaisuji Line and Tanimachi Line in Kita Ward, Osaka. It was my first visit to this curry restaurant. When I arrived, there were two people in line in front of me, so I waited for about five minutes to enter the restaurant. The menu includes Curry for 800 yen, Pork Cutlet Curry for 1000 yen, and Thick Cut Beef Curry for 1150 yen. I ordered the Thick Cut Beef Curry for 1150 yen without any additional toppings. The Thick Cut Beef Curry had a fruity aroma with a hint of sweetness from the onions, along with a slight spiciness. It was delicious, not too sweet, and the beef was tender and melted in my mouth. Like other curry restaurants, the service was quick and excellent. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this restaurant after seeing it on TV. I ordered the pork cutlet curry. The curry itself wasn't surprisingly delicious (just my personal opinion), it may be a matter of preference, but it didn't have the same impact as when I tried it at other famous restaurants in Osaka. However, the pork cutlet on top was hands down the best pork cutlet you can get for this price. It was delicious!! It felt a bit luxurious on the curry, but I'm satisfied. I would like to try a different curry next time.

I visited around noon on a regular day, before 12 o'clock. There were about 10 people waiting. The turnover was fast, and I was seated in about 15 minutes. I ordered the daily special with 3 types of fried dishes. The curry is just delicious! This restaurant really focuses on the curry. It's amazing!

Beef Thick-cut Curry for 1,150 yen. This famous curry shop is always crowded and has been selected as one of the top 100 on Tabelog. I went in the evening and was able to enter smoothly. The limited-time curry was sold out. The curry came out in seconds after ordering. It had a rich flavor with just the right amount of spiciness and sweetness, very delicious. The meat was tender. I would definitely line up again to eat this.

"Cardamom," located near Tenjinbashi Rokuchome Station, is a curry restaurant that always has a long line. It has been awarded as one of the top 100 restaurants on Tabelog in 2022, 2020, and 2019. I tried their pork cutlet curry. The cutlet was crispy and the curry had a European twist. It was incredibly delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I arrived around 17:45. There was only one group waiting outside, and although I don't like waiting in line, I waited! There are only counter seats, so the turnover is fast and I was able to be seated in less than 10 minutes. I had the thick-cut beef curry with extra spicy topping ⭐︎ The curry had a large portion and a hint of fruitiness, with a good level of spiciness and the meat was tender and delicious. I usually eat a lot, but even with the regular amount of curry, I would have been satisfied ⭐︎

The Temma area is a fierce battleground with amazing curry shops. The original is Cardamom, right? The katsu curry is simple yet has depth, not too spicy, and the cutlet is crispy and juicy. Once you try it, you won't forget it. I've been there many times. Thank you for the meal.

I had the "Pork Cutlet Curry" dish. The European-style curry with the sweetness and umami of the ingredients paired well with the crispy and juicy pork cutlet. It was nice that the pork cutlet was cut into easy-to-eat sizes. The curry was very delicious, but I wouldn't necessarily wait in line to eat it again.

I did it... I had curry for lunch... I'm going to gain weight... But it looked so delicious... I was always curious because there was always a line. I decided to try it when there wasn't much of a line, and it was indeed flavorful and delicious. It was so good that I could drink it!

After 1 PM, in the intense heat, there were about 10 people waiting. I waited for about 20 minutes before entering. I ordered the pork cutlet curry for 1000 yen. The tender pork was bite-sized and easy to eat. The curry tasted similar to the famous restaurant in Iidabashi, which was a pleasant surprise for the price of 1000 yen. The service provided by the female employee with short hair was fantastic.

I had been curious about this curry restaurant for a while. After drinking at a hormone restaurant, I passed by the front of the curry restaurant and it was open just before closing time, so I was drawn in. I ordered a simple curry. The curry had a light roux that was easy to eat, but still had a good flavor. The depth of sweetness in the curry might come from the vegetables. It was very delicious. I liked the style of being able to enjoy it quickly at the counter.
