From the center of Fukuchiyama City, take Prefectural Route 8 towards Ayabe. Turn left at the Ishihara intersection. The shop is located on the left corner at the next traffic light. Parking is available around the shop and in the neighboring parking lot, with space for four cars in front. The shop has an Old American house style, with plenty of wood used in the interior. The layout seems to have been slightly changed, but the seating capacity remains the same. Recently, I have been trying modern spiced curries one after another. So, I wanted to try a different taste of curry this time and decided to visit this shop after a long time. There were no other customers when I arrived just before noon. I didn't want to sit in a corner, so I took a relaxed seat. I had already decided on the pork cutlet curry for the day. However, I was hoping for the grilled chicken thigh that I had before, but it was no longer on the menu. It seems that the menu has been narrowed down compared to before. I ordered the pork cutlet curry with extra spiciness. First, pickles were served, and then after waiting for about 10 minutes, the dish arrived. The curry was served on a large plate, looking like it didn't have much volume at first glance. The curry sauce had some thickness but was smooth. When you take a bite of the sauce and rice, the first thing you notice is the sweetness, followed by a gradually increasing spiciness. At first, it didn't seem very spicy, but the spiciness gradually intensified. It was delicious, and it had been a while since I last had it. The pork cutlet was not thick, about 5-6mm in thickness, tender enough to be cut with a spoon. The combination of fried food and curry was excellent! I couldn't stop eating. As I ate, I started to sweat. This level of spiciness was just right for me. I finished it in no time, and it was more than enough for me at the moment. I thought this shop's curry was unique, not like the curry in a cafe or European-style curry. They offer various toppings such as fried chicken, shrimp fry, red wine stewed pork belly, pork belly in broth, keema, and extra spicy options, so you can enjoy a variety of flavors. The shop was full before I knew it. It's a popular place. Next time, I might try the pork belly in broth curry with pork cutlet topping... I enjoyed the meal. Thank you.

I've been curious for a while and finally got to go! The curry roux had a deep, mellow flavor with spicy spices, but it was mild with a hint of sweetness, making it a medium-spicy dish. The curry pork belly was incredibly delicious, with the meat being very tender and melting in your mouth.

Stretching my legs a bit and heading to the neighboring town for lunch! I arrived at the curry restaurant I found a while ago at 11 o'clock. I entered the restaurant as soon as it opened. The interior of the restaurant is a log house where you have to change into slippers. There is also a second floor! The curry comes in three types: regular, soup, and extra gravy, but be aware that the extra gravy curry is limited in quantity. Today's order was: - Pork belly curry simmered in red wine (medium spicy) - "I want to eat everything" curry (spicy) The flavors are slightly sweet, with a fluffy and creamy roux cooked with plenty of fruits and spices, leaving a bit of fiber. Very delicious! The pork belly is cooked perfectly to the point where it doesn't fall apart. "I want to eat everything" curry is loaded with tonkatsu, shrimp fry, scallop fry, and squid fry, making it very voluminous! A curry restaurant with unique spices not found in the neighborhood! Next time, I want to try the omelette curry with fried chicken topping!

I had soup curry in Hokkaido last week, but I wanted to eat curry again so I came here. I had soup curry again (lol). It was different from the one in Hokkaido, but it was delicious with lots of vegetables. There were animals made of carrots inside! I noticed it while eating! So cute.

(・ω・) This is Curry House Dr. Spice Lab. I often go to Fukuchiyama for work, and when I passed by, I was drawn to the log house-style building and decided to give it a try. Even though the Tabelog rating was low, I was confident it would be delicious after reading the reviews! I ordered the tonkatsu curry. The curry was not watery, but rather thick and just the way I like it. Just as I expected! Delicious! It was the perfect level of spiciness, and the tonkatsu was crispy and filling. Tonkatsu curry is always a classic, isn't it? Considering the name Dr. Spice Lab, it could have been even spicier, but it was still very tasty.

This is a European-style curry, but the taste leans towards a slightly spicy curry. As a result, it has a deep and stimulating flavor. The taste and menu are wonderful. However, the arrangement of tables in the restaurant is a bit unsettling. The cluttered banners and signs don't fully complement the high-quality log house and fantastic dishes. The owner seems to have a craftsman-like personality. Currently, it seems like they are running the place alone, and during lunch hours when customers gather, handling customer service (which might not be their strong suit) seemed challenging. I felt like I wanted to step in as an assistant to help with organizing the interior, displays, and customer service. There was also a sign looking for a "Spice Girl." Anyone...!

Pork belly curry with a touch of luxury, topped with menchi-katsu. ¥1,250 + ¥100. One piece of pork belly for ¥300. It is a simmered curry, but you can also feel a spicy richness.

Pork belly stew curry with medium spice level, comes with a boiled egg. Price is 950 yen including tax. PayPay is accepted.

I ordered the medium spicy level. It was easy to eat with a slightly spicy kick after the sweetness. Maybe a bit spicier would be even better? The braised pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth delicious! The restaurant is clean and has a calm atmosphere. I will definitely go back!

The meat is tender and very delicious. However, for first-timers, it would be helpful if they could explain things more carefully. The service is mediocre.

I wonder how many times I've been here. The curry is still delicious as always. Today I had thick fried tofu curry. The waiter said, "Just a little more" (laughs).

There were homemade cabbage pickles, which is rare. I ordered the omu curry because it was popular. (^^)

If you feel like eating curry, this is the place to go! You can choose the level of spiciness, and the homemade fukujinzuke and pickles are delicious and go perfectly with the curry. Of course, the curry itself is also delicious.

My wife really wanted to come back, so we came again. This is our second time this month. Today we had the spicy chicken thigh curry. It was delicious as always. I want to come back again.

Delicious. I ordered the spicy version, but the taste was delicious. The thick fried tofu was crispy and tasty.

Fluffy and creamy omelette curry for 900 yen.

The stew was incredibly delicious.
