I'm so glad I walked by here. The "Dry" Curry is amazing! Never tasted anything like that in my life. The Berkshire Pork Katsu Curry is one of the best Katsus I've had. I wish I lived closer.

You won't find this Beef Dried Curry anywhere else - ground beef, grapes and curry mix topped with eggs and fried onions. So good.
New York PostAugust 25, 2014
For the baked curry dish, the sauce is poured over a bed of rice and topped with an organic egg and cheddar cheese, merging multiple comfort food stars for a profoundly satisfying meal. Read more

this is some of the best japanese curry i've had in nyc. i like the tiny, luncheonette layout of the place. more of a pricier, slow-cooking, vaguely french approach to japanese curry than is typical.

I love that their curry has a sweet taste to it. The price is very reasonable for manhattan. Their verison of spicy is pretty mild

This is be the best Japanese curry restaurant in New York. As always, the food is very good and consistent. Service is quick and they have good lunch specials.

Among the nine curry options, we like the one with a crisp-fried Berkshire-pork cutlet best; the hamburger curry is also terrific, if not as easy on the eyes.

The seaweed salad is great. The classic Japanese seafood curry was excellent but the shrimp and scallops were a bit tough. If you REALLY like spicy, Go for hot.
Serious EatsMarch 17, 2014
Solid crisp katsu and stand-up curry. Pay extra and you can get your curry topped with cheese and egg, then baked.

Pork cutlet is a must try. So are the baked curries. Go solo if you don't want to wait too long. I can usually find a spot to squeeze in.

I always get the Berkshire Porkchops. The little unexpected things I love here are the weighty curry ladles, the al dente rice, and the tiny pickled onions.

Baked curry is a must-get! They now accept credit cards.

Delicious. I've been twice and have had the baked curry and the classic Japanese curry. Lines can get long, but well worth it!
Jess LeungApril 29, 2012
A variety of curries you can choose from but the best part? You can get it baked. Topped off with an egg and cheese, this is one savory, delicious, goodness.

"The beef dried curry — spicy ground beef over rice — came with four discs of hard-boiled egg, with threads of crispy fried onion atop... It was a wonderfully artful composition for $10." Read more

Can't go wrong with the Fried Chicken Cutlet with hot curry (order extra rice if you are hungry!!)
Rachel SmithFebruary 11, 2016
Always fast service & delicious curry, salad great too!

Very small place can probably hold 15ppl. I havent had anything here that i didnt like. Service is fast & friendly and food is yum!
Lee SimpsonAugust 17, 2016
Chicken katsu curry is real good, but the house made potato croquettes are the best.

Berkshire pork cutlet was a piece of perfection, though I found the Japanese curry a tad too sweet. Hole-in-the-wall spot.

Cash only! My usual is the Japanese Classic Curry (hot) with mini pork cutlet and croquetto on the side. You can't go wrong. =)

Love J-curry and one one does it as good as Curry-ya -- reminds me of Tokyo but lush. Sweet marble bar and I like how they serve curry in little cauldrons. Recommend the pork but everything's good. Read more

The chicken curry (with pan fried chicken) is excellent. Try the Japanese soda too. It's very light tasting.
Greg TakayamaOctober 12, 2012
Sometimes you just want Japanese curry and rice and sometimes you're willing to pay $15 for it even though it costs a dollar to make at home.
Jay MimesAugust 9, 2014
The chicken curry and the pork cutlet are superb. Don't forget to try with egg!
Lev PolyakovMay 16, 2014
There is a toto robot bidet toilet in the back. For those who know how much of a speed saver this is, enjoy!

Has lost its authenticity and quality when the place has changed the owner or maybe chef. The price compared to its quality is non sense now.

If you're feeling decadent, order your curry baked (cheese + 🍳). Trust.

The baked curry with egg is delish. Go for it.

This place is tiny but has some of the best chicken katsu curry I've ever tasted in my life.

Berkshire is a great option for first timers but I love the dry curry.
Melody HanAugust 17, 2011
Best Japanese curry in the city. Berkshire pork belly cutlet curry is heavenly. Happy hour 4-7 pm.

Homemade hamburger curry is really delicious. The best curry I ever tasted in nyc.
Alice NamAugust 13, 2014
Best Japanese curry in town. Try their baked seafood curry
Taylor WebbOctober 4, 2014
First time having chicken katsu curry and it was so good here. Definitely coming again.

Great place for a date. Quiet and small with great food
Chi NguyenJuly 25, 2014
Gogo curry flavors their tonkatsu better. This curry is on the sweeter side

The Berkshire pork cutlet curry is just delicious!
Tendelle SheuJanuary 7, 2014
if you need to pay by card, order pickup on seamless and take it out :p
Greg WDecember 27, 2011
Add $2 for the baked curry option for your dish. It's not on the menu, but there are small signs around the store about it.
Cillian SharkeyNovember 27, 2014
Quality of pork not amazing, but fine for a fast, tasty katsu curry.
Lauren TurnerFebruary 22, 2010
Go from 4-8pm for 50% off drinks (nice surprise!) and get the Kikusui sake with your meal. It's smoother than the sake offered on the main menu.
Julius TarngJuly 4, 2015
Try something new - get the dry curry w croquette on the side
