Last Year’s Review Here

Exactly a year ago, Eatclub ventured to Go Go  Curry for what Chief Dance Officer Steve gave 10 out of 10 for value.  On May 5th again this year,  $5 got you a katsu (pork cutlet) curry with rice that was very sugoi.

Go! Go! Curry!

Line out the door with Yankees bouncer

Nothing like curry on your birthday

All this for 5 bananas, pesos, bones, clams, bills…

All combos are $5 except for Grand Slam Curry

First the bad:
- I don’t think I saw a bathroom.
- Their unadorned worship of Matsui is downright creepy.
I bet if Matsui would allow it, the owner would
have no problem licking Matui’s toe-jam clean. After a double header.
- Not many seats available (then again, this is nyc)
- No visible garbage can, so people left their dishes there when finished.
- The sausage dish came with only 3 sausages.

Now the good:
- Value: 10/10
Eat club’s first perfect rating. No where in the city will you find
a greater deal than what we got (as long as you skip the sausage, and shrimp dish).
Since it was the one year anniversary celebration, all dishes on their menu was $5, regardless of size.
On the other 364 days of the year, the value is still superb (9/10)
- Speed of service – our food came out wicked quick.

Recommendations
- The size portions only equate to the amount of rice given with each dish.
- katsu curry 8/10
aka breaded, fried pieces of pork
phenomenal, especially if you consider how much you get
- chicken curry 7/10
hit or miss. with white meat, it’s very easy to overcook and overdry the pieces of chicken flesh.
- curry + rice + lettuce 7.5/10
after the consumption of meat, you will inevitably have leftover rice, curry and lettuce.
when you combine all 3, i was surprised how tasty this concoction was.

Conclusion:
-If you set the right expectations, you will not be dissapointed.
-Come on the 5th, 15th, 25th of every month (another matsui reference) coupon for free topping
- after uh.. matsui hits a home run, the next day, the entire menu is discounted.. 55 cents.
