Yokosuka Navy Curry Honpo Restaurant — Restaurant in Yokosuka

Yokosuka Navy Curry Honpo is a 2 storey establishment where the first floor sells navy curry and other souvenirs while the second floor is the restaurant.

Waiting times can be expected to go above 30 minutes for weekends due to higher crowd volume and if it is the peak hours, there is a waiting list by the stairwell on the first floor where you can write your name and number of people dining in.

I ordered the special beef navy curry set for 1650円 which comes with 1 curry rice, macaroni salad, a glass of milk, and a after-meal coffee.

The curry was mildly spicy and the beef cubes in the curry were good, it also has carrot and potato cubes added for nutritional balance. The milk which comes with the set helps if you find the curry too spicy for your taste.

There is a sheet of paper that you must write your name on to be called when seating is available (put your first name into Google translate and write the characters in Japanese as best you can, or ask someone to do it for you). We waited about 15 minutes to be seated which was not bad for a weekday.

The English menu has only the basic beef and chicken set available on it, so if you want to try something other than the most basic meal, please ask for the Japanese menu, say "Nihongo menu, kudasai" and point on the menu to what you want. Otherwise you will be given the one page English menu without all the more interesting dishes. There are many options in the...
