Curry Ya is a Japanese curry house that is slightly more pricey and upscale. They sport a open kitchen with stools arranged around a counter for customers to eat; there are no tables here. The staff is very friendly and take a lot of care in preparing and presenting their creations. Depending on the time and day you pop in, you might have to wait for a seat. It is cash only and they do deliver.
The menu is quite extensive, there are a total of nine different curries to choose from. You can also add a number of curry toppings such as Berkshire pork cutlet, corn, cheese, egg, etc. I had the seasonal vegetable curry ($14) and I also add an extra six bucks for the Curry Ya Set, which got me the chief’s daily assortment of appetizers and a choice of beverage or dessert (alcohol not included). The curry was served separately from the rice in an enamel pot that retains heat. The curry roux had good texture and was very flavorful. The appetizers were however, mildly impressive and the dessert was nothing special. I would suggest add more curry toppings rather than getting the Curry Ya Set.
I came here for dinner, but I think the real deal is during lunch, where you can get a Japanese classic style curry lunch special with salad for $8 or a Curry Ya Set for $15.
