I'm hovering between a 3 - 4 * First, the curry itself is really good. It's advertised as having 30 different herbs/seasonings in it, along with having ground chicken IN the curry sauce and I can definitely see/taste that. They run from 7.50 - 10 depending on which type of curry you get. We got: Chicken Katsu Curry Hamburg Curry I've read the other reviews on slow service, but we didn't think it would be that bad. It really is just ONE lady doing everything. Taking the order, cooking, and tallying up your check. Our food came out about 25 minutes later, and to my disappointment, it was Minced Katsu Curry instead of Chicken Katsu. When we informed her, she apologized right away and said she'll make another but that I can continue eating the wrong order until it's ready. That, I felt, was really nice of her since she's not letting the food go to waste. (And the Minced Katsu was pretty good too) It was another 20 minutes before I got the correct order though. And even though the Chicken Katsu was good, she definitely cannot handle doing EVERYTHING especially when there were 5 tables about. I can see the other tables getting impatient too. So even though she's super nice, her accent is adorable, and her cooking is delish, waiting that long for food isn't fun. We tipped her generously to help pay for the extra food but until she gets more help (and not just a busboy), we won't come back to sit in hunger again.
