Rojiura Curry SAMURAI. Shimokitazawa — Restaurant in Tokyo

先日、下北沢店を初めて訪問しました。私たちは外国人ですが、日本語である程度会話が可能です。案内していただいた際には何度も「ありがとうございます」と感謝の気持ちを伝えながら対応していただきました。

ただ、以下の点について少し残念に感じました。 私と同行者（男性2名）の計2人で伺った際、私たちの前にいらっしゃった1名のお客様（女性）は4人用テーブルに案内されましたが、私たちは狭い2人用の隅の席に案内されました。また、注文したドリンクが運ばれてきた際、「ありがとうございます」と言って受け取ろうとしたところ、男性スタッフに手を押され「No」と言われました。たとえスタッフの方針として飲み物を先に受け取ることができないとしても、丁寧に説明していただければ良かったのではないかと感じます。

一方で、女性スタッフの方は非常に親切で、質問にも丁寧に答えてくださり、素晴らしい対応をしていただきました。また、カレーもとても美味しくいただきました。しかしながら、男性スタッフの無礼な態度に対し、「もしかして差別されているのか？」と疑問に思いましたが、女性スタッフの対応はそうではなかったので、単にその男性スタッフ個人の問題だと思います。自国の言葉で何度も感謝を表している外国人に対して、わざわざ無礼な態度を取る必要があるのでしょうか。

以前、神楽坂店を日本人の友達が紹介してくれて一緒にスープカレーを食べた際に感動し、今回下北沢店に伺いましたが、残念ながら期待が大きかった分、失望も大きかったです。ぜひ今後のサービス向上に繋げていただければと思います。 その一人のスタッフの行動が日本のイメージにも影響を与えるからです。

I recently visited the Shimokitazawa branch for the first time. Although I am a foreigner, I am capable of holding basic conversations in Japanese. Throughout the interaction, I repeatedly expressed my gratitude by saying "arigatou gozaimasu." to the staff assisting us.

However, there were a few points that I found disappointing. When I visited with a companion (a total of two men), the customer before us (a single female) was guided to a four-person table, while we were seated at a cramped two-person table in the corner. Additionally, when our drinks were brought to the table, I said "thank you" and reached out to receive the drink, only to have the male staff member push my hand away and say "No." Even if it is against staff policy to allow customers to take their drinks before being served, I believe it would have been more appropriate to explain the situation politely.

On the other hand, the female staff member was exceptionally kind and answered our questions courteously, providing excellent service. The curry itself was very delicious as well. However, the rude behavior of the male staff made me wonder, "Am I being discriminated against?" That being said, the female staff's behavior was not like this, so I concluded it was likely an issue with the male staff member in question. Is it really necessary to respond with such rude behavior to foreigners who are making an effort to express gratitude in the local language?

I had previously visited the Kagurazaka branch with a Japanese friend and was deeply impressed by the soup curry there. That experience led me to visit the Shimokitazawa branch this time, but unfortunately, the disappointment was as great as my expectations. I sincerely hope this feedback can contribute to improving your service in the future, as the actions of a single staff member can also impact the image of...

Overview Cozy, comfortable, relaxing with soft background music Nice and attentive staff Great curry for vegetables Disappointing meats and rice

Curry shops are popular in Shimokitazawa. Rojiura curry earned a very high rating. Hence we tried this restaurant for lunch.

There are about 8 tables and 5 counter seats in the restaurants. The dinning atmosphere are terrifically nice. Quite relaxing. Decoration is plain and not luxury.

You can order by using their English menu which include generally curry with vegetables and chicken or braised pork. You can choose level of spicy.

In our order, vegetables were great, deep fried first before putting to curry. Chicken and pork were overcooked, like soup materials, not tender. They use glutinous rice instead white rice. Perhaps the soaking time is not enough....

Like others, I came here because I’ve heard great things about this place and the soup curry trend. I was pretty disappointed when we received our order and the vegetables were hard (didn’t appear to have been cooked for long) and the fried chicken was not very tasty and lukewarm. The curry flavor was good but it wasn’t enjoyable with hard vegetables, not hot chicken and a small rice portion. The chicken inside the curry bowl was ok but it also wasn’t hot temperature wise!

The atmosphere inside appeared nice but the place itself is a bit difficult to find at night. It was pretty empty when we went and it took awhile for someone to notice us enter. The atmosphere just felt a little off with the quality of food, lack of customers...
