I thought I was indifferent to curry. I was wrong.
This place is the most amazing Japanese curry I've ever eaten. The Doria is my favorite. I have been in their shop three times and the owner and staff are so nice and the atmosphere is great.
I order on postmates often (twice this week). My only complaint is that I wish they'd sell the ice cream via delivery too as well as their other tasty drinks.

This is the best Japanese curry on the west coast. The owner is extremely polite and kind. He always shares such interesting information about Japan, curry, and anything else you talk to him about!

I picked a lunch spot on a total whim after flying in from Texas, then inadvertantly discovered the best comfort karē outside of Japan. Absolutely incredible, rich flavors that speak for themselves. Nothing is hidden or muddled; the recipe is full bodied, served insanely quick, and with the hospitality of an old friend you haven't seen in years (big shoutout to one-man army Mr. Makoto Yoshino). If you're a veteran that's ever been stationed in Japan, pair this up with Jinro and a Page 11 and it's like you're back in Oki!
Seriously though, food was so good I had a borderline religious experience. 11/10 I'll always come here when I visit Portland.

Not sure how it got such high rating, pretty much microwave food.
Incredible. You just have to go. Amazing and affordable food.

Great little Japanese curry spot. Limited menu but extremely well executed. Service was fast and very friendly. If you want a great meal to go or a quick lunch break from the office this place is perfect. Staff was extra helpful and asked about food allergies up front, simple steps that make for a top notch experience.

This is one of my favorite places to each lunch, a great place to meet a friend, and the friendliest service you can imagine. I wish more restaurants focused on doing one thing well and being deeply authentic in vibe and presentation. After today's visit I felt compelled to write a review because it sparked true joy. This is a meal that you end up thinking about - sometimes DIRECTLY after eating it. You should probably go - there's bike parking directly outside, and it will be something you enjoy.
