Curry & Cafe SAMA Kanda — Restaurant in Tokyo

We were craving for curry rice in Akihabara and this restaurant came up with high rating. So glad to give this restaurant a try. There was no queue on a weekend night. We ordered the tomato based soup with chicken thigh and coconut based curry with pork.

The tomato based soup wasn’t as sourish as expected. The chicken meat was tender. The coconut curry pork tasted better with its flavourful spice, you can choose the spiciness level according to your liking. The sliced pork has a balance of lean and fatty layers. You also get some vegetables in the curry such as bell pepper, baby corn, lotus root, cauliflower.

So far, my experiences with Japanese curry was thick brown sauce, this is very different and even better. This is one of the best meals I’ve had in Tokyo...

Yummy delicious soup curry with fresh ingredients. If you're thinking what protein to get, I got the chicken thigh but go for the hamburg instead. The hamburg was juicy and more flavourful than the chicken.

The vegetables were all slightly flash-fried so the exterior had a nice crunch.

For the soup, the shrimp version is definitely more like a soup while the tomato one is thicker like a stew so choose whichever you prefer.

Spice level wise, it can get quite spicy for japanese standards so stick to 5 and below if you have moderate...

I ordered the tomato based soup curry with chicken and vegetables, added a Frankfurt sausage on top with large rice. The curry soup was explosive with flavor, as I got the number 12 spice level. I love spicy food, I think I would go up to 20 next time. Overall, very tasty curry with delicious toppings.

Edit: I went back again back-to-back nights. It is becoming one of my favorite meals. The tomato based chicken and vegetables is mouth watering. If you love spicy food, I'd start at spice level...
