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.

We can probably agree, it’s getting harder and harder to find a cheap none fast-food cozy food.
Someday you just want something affordable but yet too oily or fat. I have eaten at Kale like 5 times. The quality , speed and price is exceptional. You can’t go wrong with this place and they won’t break your wallet.

Easily the best chicken katsu I’ve ever had in my life. Sadly I was just visiting Portland, and I still think about this dish every time I fail to taste a chicken katsu as good as this top standard. Free water is offered but the space feels more like a cafeteria but it’s not a problem for me, I had the place to myself. Just be cautioned there is nothing fancy in here other than the food.

Incredibly delicious Japanese curry. Very deep flavors. The man at the counter today was very passionate about the food they offer and was happy to give us a run down of their small menu. You can tell how much care they put into the food they serve.

This is a small Japanese restaurant where the owner was extremely helpful with understanding the very limited menu. Trust me, the limited menu was outstanding! There are a few dishes that are done to perfection. We will absolutely go here when we are in Portland again.

One of the best curry rice I've ever had. I ordered Kalé Doria with veggie sauce and it was very flavorful! Highly recommended.
Friendly staff and good food. I will visit again when in the area.

Unquestionably the best katsu curry I've ever had. I seriously had a Ratatouille moment eating this curry; making this their specialty was a brilliant move. The staff is friendly and the food arrives quickly (~5 minutes). The beef katsu curry with a Sapporo was exactly what I needed after a long hike.
