I ordered the daily lunch set (Peanut Curry) with salad and a drink. It cost 1200 yen and the drink was Mango Lassi. I could adjust the spiciness by adding the provided Nampla to the rice. The curry itself was not too spicy, with plenty of ingredients and very delicious.

I had the "Red Curry Chicken" (¥935) and it was delicious. The curry is filled with chunks of soft pumpkin, which is a unique touch. It is medium-spicy, but the creamy sweetness of the coconut milk stands out. You can add the red chili fish sauce to your liking, but be careful as it is quite salty. Overall, I think this is a place that is easy to visit even if you are dining alone.

I researched restaurants near my workplace that are open for lunch on Sundays and had to choose between ramen and curry. I was in the mood for curry, so I decided to visit Aozora. I appreciated that they had a set menu available even on Sundays, and I ordered the "daily lunch set" with the spiciest option, green curry. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice, so I didn't mind the wait. The soup had chunks of vegetables like daikon and had an authentic Thai curry vibe. The mild spiciness was pleasant. However, I found that adding the fish sauce provided on the table not only increased the spiciness but also added a significant amount of salt, so use it in moderation...

I ordered Peanut Curry for 1045 yen. It is based on red curry with a smooth peanut butter flavor. It contains fried potatoes, green beans, shishito peppers, bamboo shoots, pork, and peanuts. It is not very spicy but has a good amount of spices that make you sweat by the end of the meal.

The Khao Man Gai also comes with a mini yellow curry with lots of ingredients. It was very delicious, but the time from ordering to serving was very long. It's understandable since they are short-staffed, but it would be appreciated if it was a bit faster.

I ordered a lunch set with fried potatoes and spinach green curry with extra curry sauce. It had chicken, boiled eggs, and plenty of ingredients for a satisfying meal. The curry had a lot of fish sauce, red and green chili peppers, which made it addictive! It was delicious. I used to eat Thai food once a week when I was in Tokyo, but there is no Thai restaurant near my workplace now. This was my first time having Thai curry in a while, and I was very satisfied!

I had been curious about Aozora for a while. Their Thai curry is popular. It is located on the second floor of the building where RINGO Beatles bar is. You can easily spot it by aiming for RINGO's sign. On this day, I had the Green Curry (850 yen). The ingredients include chicken, eggplant, green pepper, and bamboo shoots. Although there is a chili mark on the menu, the taste is mild due to the strong coconut milk flavor. If the Roy Thai Green Curry sold at Kaldi has a chili mark of 5, then Aozora's Green Curry would be around 1 (as a reference). The rice used is Japanese rice, catering to Japanese taste. All their curries are said to be mild, so even those who don't like spicy food can enjoy them. There are also regular customers who come from the university nearby.

On Sunday at 12:46, I went to Aozora without realizing it was on the second floor, so I was a bit flustered trying to find the place, but I eventually found it. I climbed up the narrow stairs and entered the shop through the automatic door. There were two customers at the counter, and I was shown to a table by the window at the back. They had various Thai dishes like Khao Man Gai, Yellow, Red, and Green curry, but I didn't see any noodles. (I would have definitely ordered Pad Thai if they had it). I opted for the daily curry lunch special for 990 yen, which was chicken, pumpkin, and komatsuna in Yellow curry. I asked for less rice (to make it easier for my next meal). The set came with a drink, and I chose mango lassi, served in a metal cup which added to the ambiance. At 1:00, the daily curry arrived. The creamy Yellow curry was full of ingredients and lots of vegetables. The soup was rich and had a very gentle taste without any spiciness since there was no chili pepper in it. The pumpkin added a soft and sweet stew-like flavor. It was my first time trying this taste, and I found it delicious. There was fish sauce with chili on the table to add to the rice if desired, but it didn't quite go well with the Yellow curry (made it too salty). I'll skip it next time. A cozy Thai curry shop. This time I had a non-spicy Yellow curry, but I'm curious about their other curries. I'd like to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

In Kyoto, when it comes to Thai curry, this Thai curry specialty shop is one of the top choices. Located in a student area, this authentic Thai curry restaurant offers a relaxed academic atmosphere, perfect for beginners to Thai cuisine. Situated on the second floor of a building just off the Hyakumanben intersection in Kyoto, this Thai-style cafe curry restaurant is well-known for its unique charm. The shop is filled with the aroma of spices, with dark brown tables for four and a counter seating for 16 in a minimalistic setting. The interior is decorated with Asian-style trinkets, exotic objects, and vintage fabrics, creating a nostalgic atmosphere. The restaurant is run by two women, one managing the hall and the other working diligently in the kitchen. The serene natural light filtering through the cool bamboo blinds, the slow passage of time, and the laid-back academic ambiance make for a cozy and comfortable setting. The menu features a variety of Thai curries, with detailed explanations of each curry's spiciness level. For lunch, they offer yellow curry as part of a set menu, along with a la carte options like bread dishes, rice dishes, green curry, and red curry. The back of the menu provides tips on how to enjoy the food and a lesson on Thai curry. The dishes are served in silverware reminiscent of street food, with a touch of Asian relief carvings adding a feminine touch. Customers can help themselves to water, with chili fish sauce available on the table for adjusting the spiciness. The reviewer ordered the yellow curry with chicken, fried eggplant, and spinach, served separately from the rice and salad. The curry was creamy and rich, with a mild coconut taste and a smooth texture similar to European-style curry. The ingredients were well-prepared, with eggplant garnish and a half-sized boiled egg in the bowl. The reviewer found the mildness of the curry and the fluffy white rice appealing, with the option to adjust the spiciness using the chili fish sauce. Overall, the Thai curry at this restaurant is easy to enjoy for beginners and offers a welcoming atmosphere for all customers. The reviewer also enjoyed a refreshing cup of jasmine tea with their meal. The restaurant tends to be busy during lunchtime, with a cozy and neutral environment suitable for a wide range of customers, including solo female diners. They offer a variety of lunch and dinner options, with a loyalty card program for additional benefits. The convenient location near the station and the relaxed atmosphere make this Asian dining spot a popular choice for a casual meal.

Recently, my friend Peralta, whose catchphrase is "Don't you know any delicious curry restaurants?", has been asking around. My friend from Kyoto University kindly tells me without making a face. He's smart, kind, and it's unfair (laughs). It's located on the second floor of a building one street off Hyakumanben. As I climb the stairs with excitement and open the door, an ethnic doorbell rings. I already feel like I'm in Thailand (laughs). There are plenty of tempting menu items, such as the affordable lunch menu and the "Aozora Curry" named after the restaurant, but for the first time, I ordered my friend's recommendation, the "Peanut Curry for 900 yen". The stylish Thai interior, pleasant background music, and friendly staff make me even more excited for the curry. The Peanut Curry has arrived. My first impression was "It's white!!" (laughs) For a moment, I thought I had ordered stew (laughs). Jokes aside, the taste is authentic. Later, I found out that the chef had studied at the famous restaurant "Sham" in Maruyama. The aroma created by the fragrance of Thai curry and peanuts is a new experience. When I take a bite, the sweetness of coconut is added, and the natural spiciness of the curry tightens the flavor, making it incredibly delicious! The chicken and vegetables in the curry are also flavorful, with each texture enjoyable. As you chew, the flavors mix with the curry, making it even more delicious with each bite. I will definitely revisit, but it seems like I won't be able to cheat on other types of curry (laughs).

I had the daily lunch special and it was delicious.

Green curry is so delicious, despite its creamy appearance it's actually spicy. I want to try the lunch set as well.

Overall, I don't think I will revisit this place. The curry has a mild spiciness and a strong coconut creaminess, which is tasty but still can't beat Sham curry. If it was closer to my neighborhood, I might consider going again. It's convenient for students with Kyoto University nearby.

It's better to think of it as coconut soup rather than curry. It's so mild that you might want to have it as a finishing touch after drinking.

Please go up to the second floor of the building behind the McDonald's on the west side of the Hyakumanben intersection in Kyoto University. When you enter the door, you will be greeted by a pleasant aroma of spices, allowing you to feel like you are traveling to the smiling country of Thailand. Once you are seated, you can order the Green Curry (850 yen) and while you wait, you can read a handmade picture book called "The Most Delicious Tea in the World" by A, B, C, D. The illustrations and story will captivate you. By the time you finish reading, the ethnic waitress will bring you the Green Curry, which is different from the yellow Indian curry. It has a perfect balance of lemongrass, Thai herbs and spices, and the sweet aroma of coconut milk, introducing you to a new deliciousness.

I have been coming here since I was a student. I got hooked on the Thai curry here, tried various other places, and ended up coming back to Aozora's Thai curry. The richness and spiciness of this curry, with a slightly salty flavor, is what makes it stand out. After trying various places, I realized that this unique taste is what I truly enjoy. I feel like my misfortune is having encountered this curry first. I wish they would sell it in retort pouches.

I had green curry. The fresh vegetables and smooth green curry sauce harmonize well. The fried eggplant was especially delicious.
