It is the perfect spot for a quick, satisfying meal after navigating the bustling metro lines in Kita.
💡 Tips before you go

- The curry sauce thickens slightly as it cools, so enjoy your bowl while it is still steaming hot for the best texture.
- Look for the queue near the entrance; this spot often fills up quickly between 12:00 PM and 1:30 PM.
