I am a big fan of Japanese curry, so I was eagerly anticipating the opening of Curry-Ya on 10th Street (between 1st and 2nd Ave). Its a simple and bright place with a long counter and stools, nothing fancy. Here, the focus is clearly on the curry. There are some salads, but the only real choice you need to make is what type of ingredient to get in the curry, the spice level and whether you want toppings. We tried the organic chicken and the croquette, both were good. To be honest, its not the best Japanese curry I've had in the city (that honor goes to Kamui Den), but its good and authentic - it reminded my Japanese fiancée of home cooked curry.
What makes it good:
- Curry, curry, and more curry
Know before you go:
- For curry its expensive
- The portion seemed small but it fills you up in the end
- If you like spice, ask for it - "Karai" - spicy or "Geki Kara" - ultra spicy
Recommended dishes:
- Croquette curry
Curry-Ya, 214 E. 10th Street (bet 1st and 2nd Ave), New York, NY 866-602-8779

I ate there last night. It was good, but not the best ever. The thing that was interesting is the amount of attention and focus that can be put on curry if curry is the only thing you're serving.
Jean-Georges opened Matsugen. Have you been?

I haven't been to Matsugen. It will be the next on the list.
Any other good curry restaurants you guys know of?
Go-Go Curry is good, but it's fast food style. It's also really out of the way on 38th and 8th. They put sauce on the katsu, which is different.
