My go to spot in the city for Japanese curry! Good prices and great service.
Hit up Taste of Japan in the Loop for lunch the other day and man it was straight fire. Grabbed the shrimp tempura with that butter mayo and a chicken curry rice, portions were huge, crispy tempura was perfect, curry had that real savory kick. Fresh as hell, quick service, and way better than most downtown spots. Definitely coming back next time I’m near Wells. 🔥
A small nice shop for a quick bite. No complaints here. everything tasted good to me
