The pork cutlet curry had a 2mm thick cutlet with mostly breading, the door was left open and it was hot inside. The waitress spoke in an annoying drawn-out manner. The curry restaurant next door is 100 times better. I won't be coming back here.

Just after 11:30, I went to Lahore in Shin-Okachimachi for lunch. I ordered Set A, which included a hamburger steak and spicy pork for 900 yen, along with a crab cream croquette for 150 yen. The food was served on a hot plate within about 5 minutes. The spicy pork had a slightly sweet and spicy sauce, which was delicious. The hamburger steak was as tender and tasty as always. The crab cream croquette was okay. I left feeling satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

I went to try the rumored black curry. I ordered the level 5 spiciness, which was a bit spicier than medium. The order consisted of crab cream croquette curry for 930 yen. The curry was not very thick and had a smooth texture with good flavor. I thought it was tastier than the curry at Coco Ichibanya. The cream croquette had a unique flavor with delicious white cream. Overall, I felt that the croquette was even tastier than the curry itself. The restaurant has locations in Akihabara, Soto-Kanda, and Okachimachi.

I was excited to go to Sakae-ya for curry for lunch, but they were unexpectedly closed. Feeling hungry, I went to Lahore next door instead. The restaurant was quite busy with bento orders, but there was plenty of space inside to dine in. I decided to go for the set lunch with minced cutlet and fried chicken instead of curry, as I didn't enjoy the Indian curry I had before. The food arrived in about 5 minutes - rice, side dishes, and miso soup. The minced cutlet was quite substantial in size, and I enjoyed it with tonkatsu sauce. It was juicy and delicious. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside, but lacked seasoning so I added some salt. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

I visited this restaurant for lunch while in Ueno. They specialize in a mix of Japanese-style curry and Indian curry. The place was half full during lunchtime. I ordered the Crab Cream Croquette Curry (+3 spiciness) for 890 yen and the Steak & Hamburger for 1,030 yen. I regret not choosing +5 spiciness as the +3 spiciness was not very spicy (more like medium level). The curry sauce was light and more like a spiced curry. The Steak & Hamburger were not exceptional but still good considering the price. They have a wide variety of reasonably priced menu items, so I would recommend this place if it's nearby.

Today, we were actually planning to go to the neighboring Sakae-ya, but it was unexpectedly closed until the next day. However, we were in the mood for katsu curry, so we ended up coming to this place next door. Here, you can choose the level of spiciness and the amount of spice, which is different from the neighboring place! I like spicy food, so I went for mild, while my partner went for level 5 spiciness! Unbelievable. The katsu was crispy and delicious, and the curry had a nice thick texture and was mild and gentle, which I liked. The only downside was that the carrots were a bit hard. And the level 5 spiciness was apparently quite hot... haha. Should have gone for mild. But overall, the katsu was delicious and we were satisfied.

"Rahore" is a curry restaurant in Okachimachi, part of the Nogawa Group which has several stores in Akihabara. This particular store is run by the owner alone. You can enjoy various set meals with curry, which is typical of Rahore. I ordered the Dice Steak & Crab Cream Croquette for 1030 yen and the Black Curry for 270 yen. The Dice Steak is served on a hot plate with a sesame soy sauce base, which I found quite delicious for the price. Crab Cream Croquette is a must-try at Rahore, as it is creamy and tasty, and goes well with the curry. The Black Curry is said to have more than five spices in it. It has a flavor similar to Kashmir from Delhi and Bombay. It is spicy and quite delicious. Despite being spicy, it is not overwhelmingly hot, maybe around level 3-4 at Coco Ichibanya. I highly recommend trying the Black Curry."

Located in Okachimachi, Lahore offers curry and steak. They have branches in Kanda and Akihabara as well. You can choose between Japanese-style or Indian-style curry, with the main difference being whether flour is included or not. The curry is characterized by the chunky vegetables and satisfying cutlet. The miso soup served as a side was also delicious. The restaurant is conveniently located near the station, a bit away from the bustling area but still in a good location. Prices are reasonable for a curry restaurant.

Recently, my favorite dish is tororo natto. Actually, I prefer just regular natto, but the menu only offers maguro natto and tororo natto. When it comes to maguro natto, I always hope for lean red tuna without any sinew, but my picky request is never fulfilled. So, the safe option for me to order is tororo natto. As for enjoying tororo natto, I have discovered a delicious way to eat it. First, I mix plenty of soy sauce, then I drizzle a moderate amount of soy sauce on top without mixing it, and eat it as it is. By doing this, the original aroma of soy sauce stands out, allowing me to savor a very fresh and delicious taste. This method is similar to cooking Italian cuisine with olive oil, adding a final touch of raw olive oil to enhance the aroma. In the morning, it was beautifully sunny at first, but then it became cloudy again. I wandered around the second quadrant of the JR elevated railway as the y-axis and Kasuga Street as the x-axis, but without success. So, I moved to the first quadrant, utilizing the regenerative energy stored in the second quadrant to accelerate. As an eco-friendly person (officially, I am an Eco Eco Azaraku person), I never emit carbon dioxide. I use a sophisticated body technique that involves returning only carbon dioxide to the lungs through the chamber effect in the oral cavity and neutralizing it with alkaline in the blood. This can only be done by those who have learned biofeedback like me or are yoga masters, so good kids, please don't try to imitate! Upon entering "Lahore Ueno Store," I noticed a sanitizer dispenser in front of me. Although there were no instructions, I instinctively sanitized my hands while walking towards the center. I was directed by a kind female staff to the farthest table for two, although there was a previous customer at the shared island seat. I hesitated while staring at the menu, which looked like a cryptogram to me, but eventually decided on the service lunch. I was considering the hamburger and croquette, but hesitated a bit due to the fried chicken and fish fry as the side dishes. Later, I realized that I had previously tried the curry here, which was a set of "Hamburger & Crab Cream Croquette" priced at 830 yen. I discovered this match within the Hamburg & Steak family and felt extremely fortunate. The short lead time and much more attractive appearance than I had imagined made it a delightful surprise! The "bounce" continued, but I couldn't wait any longer, so I removed the unturned Mobius strip (that's not a Mobius strip!). The sauce provided on the yellow (lid) side was tonkatsu sauce, while the other side was steak sauce, which I generously poured over the bean sprouts. The second wave of excitement sparked. For the crab cream croquette, I used tonkatsu sauce. The hamburger was already coated with demi-glace sauce, and the sight of them crowded on the hot griddle exuded an irresistible charm, like a cauldron of side dishes. Despite the flat plate with rice (hey!), I decided to hold the plate and continue eating. The bean sprouts, which were likely raw, were a side dish for the hamburger that I initially disapproved of. However, with their crunchy texture, I felt inclined to forgive them, especially when combined with the steak sauce that guided me subtly to add more sauce. The competition seems to be with the "Kitchen Jiro" faction. I won't draw a conclusion here, but in terms of the culinary experience and overall performance, I think this place might be superior. I revisited my curry review from a few years ago, and the taste back then seemed to resurface.

I also considered getting a bento box, but when I looked inside the restaurant, it was empty. I decided to order the "Karaage Set Meal" for 650 yen, which is not a high-end item but a simple set meal. The seating area is divided with partitions for privacy. There are shared items like a water pot and seasonings. The karaage comes with 4 pieces, freshly made and hot, so be careful not to burn yourself. The flavor is already seasoned, so no need for soy sauce or salt. I opted for a large portion of rice, so it was quite filling. The salad dressing provided was also delicious.

Set B (Pork & Crab Cream Croquette) Indian style, with miso soup, costs 850 yen. I expected it to be spicy, but it wasn't really spicy at all. It might be better to add some heat to it. It's a filling meal, but the Indian curry style doesn't include vegetables cooked together, which was new to me. Maybe next time I'll try the Japanese style.

I was planning to go to Sakaeya for the first time in a while, but I just missed the lunch hours and they were still getting ready. I felt a bit disappointed, but if Sakaeya didn't work out, I wouldn't have trouble deciding on the next option. Just a 5-second walk away is Lahore. Lahore is a place I often frequented in Akihabara. They have Japanese-style and Indian-style curry, but mostly known for their black curry. Black curry is not just black in color. There is a famous dish called Delhi's Kashmir at Lahore that curry enthusiasts would know, and the black curry at Lahore is on that level. In Akihabara, the black curry cutlet curry is highly recommended, and I don't remember ever ordering anything else. I knew about the Ueno branch, but I had never been there. I was sure Lahore would have black curry in their menu. When I looked at the menu, I saw Japanese-style, Indian-style, and a small description of black curry. I ordered the black curry cutlet curry as usual. The black curry here is called black because it contains the five spices of India. I learned something new at this age. The dish that arrived was indeed the black curry cutlet curry. It had been about five years since I last had it. The taste was just as I remembered, with a unique richness and delicious flavor. It goes well with the cutlet, and when you pour the sauce on the table, it adds a nice touch of flavor change.

Near Ueno station, there is a restaurant called Lahore. Next to it is also a curry restaurant with a distinctive yellow sign. I visited around noon on a weekday. The interior and furniture of the restaurant have a traditional feel, but it is clean and well-maintained. There is a counter, but no chairs, only table seating. On the tables, there are various sauces and spices for adjusting the spiciness. I ordered the daily special A set, which included dice steak, minced cutlet, rice, and miso soup. The dishes were served on a hot plate. The steak had some tough parts to chew through, and the portion size was a bit small. The minced cutlet had a crispy coating and was juicy inside.

"Today I was in the mood for meat so I stopped by during work. I ordered the 130g sirloin steak with extra rice because it was reasonably priced. When the sizzling steak arrived, it didn't have much fat and had a smell of meat cooking without much flavor. The texture was tough, more like pork shoulder than sirloin. The steak sauce on the table was just okay. I couldn't finish the extra rice, so I ordered the Indian-style curry with 2 spiciness levels. That was decent."

I entered for the first time. There were A lunch and B lunch in front of the store. Since B was curry, I ordered A. The restaurant was not crowded as I came during off-peak hours. I didn't have to wait until it was served. The steak was a few slices, not like high-quality meat that requires some chewing, but it was delicious. The hamburger was also well-seasoned as a side dish. The bean sprouts as a side dish also had a good texture. I ordered extra rice, so it was a bit too much. In the future, I might try the fried chicken lunch, which is cheap and filling.

I visited "Lahore Okachimachi Store" around 11 o'clock on a certain day in September 2020. Located about a 2-3 minute walk from the Shin-Okachimachi Station, this restaurant is popular for its curry and steak, but also offers a variety of set meals. The moderately sized interior had no other customers when I arrived. I sat alone at a table and ordered the "Vegetable Curry (Spicy Black)" for ¥850. Among the various menu options, I decided to try the Lahore specialty, the Black Curry. After waiting for about 7-8 minutes, it was served along with a generous portion of Fukujinzuke. The Black Curry had corn scattered throughout and the curry was of a watery consistency. Mixing the black curry and rice together, I experienced a well-balanced richness with a stimulating spiciness. Personally, I enjoyed this curry as the spices were just right and the sweetness of the corn added a complex flavor. When the bright red Fukujinzuke was added to the curry, it created a unique color combination. Although the curry contained carrots, potatoes, and broccoli as ingredients, I felt that the amount and variety of vegetables were lacking. While the price of ¥850 was reasonable, it may be better to try a different dish rather than the vegetable curry at this restaurant. I thoroughly enjoyed the spiciness that lived up to its name, "Spicy Black." I believe this curry deserves to be more widely appreciated. "Lahore" is a very enjoyable place and I look forward to trying other menu items on my next visit.

Lunchtime! I couldn't move around much, so I ordered a bento box! After ordering a "fried chicken bento," I noticed that the "crab cream croquette and fried chicken bento" was the same price. I wonder if this one is better since it won't get boring? When it was ready, I found that it wasn't too oily and the croquettes were crispy and delicious.

Chicken Spicy Miso Steak 850 yen Comes with rice and miso soup Weekday lunch☆ What should I eat~ Not feeling particularly inspired, I passed by this place. Steak and curry, huh. Hmm. But when I looked at the lunch menu, there were various other options as well. The set meal for 650 yen is a great deal. The crab cream croquette looks tempting♡ But, I kind of feel like having something with grilled chicken. Upon entering, there was a smell of cigarettes. There was one table for two and five tables for four people. The table for two was occupied, so we sat at an empty table for four. It seems that smoking is allowed at all seats. The ashtrays were stacked on a shelf in the center of the back wall - feel free to use them. The visit was around 12:35 PM, and about 10 minutes later, almost all customers were gone, and the smell of cigarettes no longer bothered me. The order arrived about 10 minutes later. The sizzling sound and steam were amazing. A hot iron plate with a grill cover. The rice portion was requested to be small, but it seemed a bit more, and upon confirming, this amount was indeed considered small. The chicken was quite blackened and some parts were tough, but other parts were moderately tender. It started with a sweet miso taste, gradually transitioning to a spicy sensation. The spiciness was somewhat peppery, with garlic as well. Plenty of bean sprouts, corn, and green beans. They were also seasoned with pepper. The miso soup was quite good. I finished it all. Looking at the other menu items, they seemed reasonably priced for the portion size. The rice could be upgraded to a large portion for free. Salarymen were coming in one after another. They also sell bento boxes, which seems convenient. Next time, I might try the crab cream croquette☆ ーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Momoko☆Neko wa Mita|дﾟ)‼ The guy next to me was eating a pitch-black curry! It seems to be their specialty, called "Black Curry". It was really black. I'd like to try it someday.

On a regular weekday around 2:30 in the afternoon. During this time, you can get a table right away. I ordered... ★Dry curry for $8 ★Curry roux for $2 ★Coleslaw for $1 First, the coleslaw is just shredded cabbage with dressing on top. The dry curry is like curry fried rice with two pieces of fried chicken on top. This is naturally delicious. The curry roux can be either Indian-style or Japanese-style. The difference is whether it contains flour or not. I prefer to eat the Indian-style curry roux like a soup, but it is quite salty to eat it that way. This curry should be paired with white rice from a set meal rather than with the dry curry.

Today's lunch was at a place close to my company. I often go to the neighboring Sakae-ya, but for some reason, this was my first visit here. I thought it wasn't a place where you could eat inside the restaurant. This time, I ordered the diced steak instead of curry. It was a bit small with 150g, but the amount of rice was sufficient, and it came with miso soup, so my stomach was properly filled. Personally, I prefer the steak sauce to be a bit richer.
