Hot Spoon Review Summary

Flavorful beef curry. Stumbled upon this shop when I saw a small queue outside. No English menu or waiters. But it’s quite easy just to point at the menu for what you want.

Located just outside Gotanda station, this eatery offers a delightful curry experience.

Opted for the Katsu curry with a medium spice level, and the balance of spices was spot-on.

The menu provides two rice options, and the generous free upgrade to a large portion ensures you'll leave fully satisfied.

A standout feature is the thick and flavorful spicy curry, a true highlight. Considering adding toppings like boiled eggs during the next visit for an extra layer of enjoyment.

Great curry place. I had a beef curry with vegetables and a big size rice for ¥946. Really affordable and delicious. They prepare and serve your meal really fast. They serve the curry pot boiling, so if you have problems with really hot food you may have to wait a bit before start eating. The taste is really good and intense. They cook the curry for 8 hours to get an amazing taste. Very cheap and way better taste than some curry chain restaurants. Friendly and professional staff. The menu has some parts in English (just letting you know if the dish has beef or chicken).

Came here because of the Japan TV series about Kichijoji - curry was indeed soooooo good, especially on a cold day. I don’t normally finish all the rice but the curry sauce here is just irresistible. Really regretted that I didn’t had a chance to go back again during my trip.

More of an Indian and Japanese fusion curry. Cheap and tasty. Staff was polite and patient. My partner doesn’t eat beef and they were helpful to explain there is chicken curry with no beef. Gave us some ice when my partner burned his finger on the hot plate!
