I must give 5 stars to this Bondy location for not only the great food but the short(or no) waiting line compared to the other Jimbocho location! Only negative: no awesome custard dessert(which is served at the other location). Delicious Japanese curry, and two thumbs up for the beef, clam and spare rib varieties!

Sister chain of the very popular«Bondy» Japanese curry restaurant. The original is located a short walk away but it always draws large crowds and long lines. This restaurant is much more relaxed and it is not a long wait to get a hot plate of curry rice with two steamed potatoes and a dab of sweet butter. The flavor here is very much an old school style of Japanese curry. Sweet, spicy and thick, the roux at Bondy is pretty good, though the consistency and balance of flavors is better at the original shop. Cheese topping can be a bit too heavy and doesn’t melt into the curry, so be aware when ordering the cheese. You can order the curry very hot, but it isn’t really that spicy. Condiments include pickled shallots, Japanese pickles and raisins, which add a nice bit of contrast to the curry as you eat. Good for a quick lunch but be sure to go to the original restaurant if you have a chance!
