Maji Curry was an overnight success and became a legendary name after wining 1st Place in the KANDA CURRY Championship, an achievement that was attained only in 7 months into the opening of the first store. After 4 years we are still going strong winning 1st place again in the KANDA CURRY Championship 2022.

Reviews
Unfortunately, we had to order for takeout since it was late, but the food still tasted amazing. The pork cutlet was tasty, less fatty, and not rubbery at all!
The space is a bit on the smaller side, but it’s fine if it’s not too crowded. If there are a lot of people, though, you might need to wait.
The answer is mostly yes. The curry itself is a bit spicy, even at the mild level, and is a thicker consistency compared to the usual Japanese curry. The flavor of the curry sauce is dark and rich, and the rice was cooked perfectly. The accompanying pickles also tasted like they were freshly made and were a delicious addition to the curry.
The Lows: The Hamburg Curry with Cheese did not meet the hype for me, primarily because the Hamburg was not soft or delicate as most Hamburg in Japan would be. Perhaps more to American taste – they served a well-done patty. When I asked if they could cook the beef medium rare, to my surprise, the server let me know that they would not be able to adjust the cook.
The cheese sauce was pretty good on its own but gets lost in the rich curry sauce. For this reason, I would not recommend adding the cheese if you’re being calorie-conscious.
The Highs: the Pork Cutlet Curry! The cutlet was thick, juicy, and delicious, and the cook of the meat was great. The Vegetables (which can act as its own curry or a side) and the Eggplant are both also great. Tenderly cooked and well-seasoned stars.
The service pacing was decent and the servers were pretty friendly, but the restaurant is far too small for the potential demand of curry lovers.
The interior has seating for maybe 7-8 small parties (mostly for parties of 2), and on the night we visited, a large party took up half the restaurant so it took over an hour for a seat for 3 folks. Things may improve once it’s warm enough for outdoor seating (though there are only a couple of tables outside too).
Would I come back? Absolutely! With that said, I’d recommend to come with a small group (preferably just 2 people) and avoid the dinner rush and get here very early or late. And order the pork cutlet and/or veggie curry – they’re fantastic!
However, the restaurant’s small space can be a bit cramped, and service can sometimes be slow because only one staff member is attending to customers.
Every time we go there, I don’t see many customers. I have the feeling that their business does not run well. Is it because the owner does not know how to effectively market it or does not care about the food business? I hope the owner can enhance their marketing and pricing strategy to ensure better business.
Overall, it’s still a place we enjoy dining in.
