About this place
One diner who ordered a large serving of katsu curry described a generous plate of thick curry, chunky ingredients and a large cutlet. Another account mentions a slightly sweet, richly flavoured curry paired with a tender cutlet that was easy to eat with a spoon. The menu lists katsu curry rice at ¥1,200 and notes that it comes with soup. It is a filling option, though you could also compare it with plain curry rice or a cutlet set meal.
The daily set meal is another possibility at lunchtime. One diner who chose a stir-fry of pork belly and garlic shoots on a particular day also remembered the pickles and macaroni salad served alongside it. A different account of the daily set meal highlights the crisp coating on the tonkatsu and the old-fashioned flavour of the miso soup. The changing menu is part of the appeal. The daily set meal is listed at ¥850; other set meals include grilled fish, pork loin with ginger and handmade croquettes.
There is plenty to choose from among the noodles, too. A diner who ordered gomoku ramen noted stir-fried vegetables, as well as chashu, egg and seafood toppings. If you are in the mood for plenty of vegetables, gomoku ramen is one option; for something more distinctive, the noodle menu also includes miso ramen with gyoza. With set meals, Western-style dishes and Chinese-inspired noodles, Kōda in Motoyoyogichō offers a broad choice for lunch or dinner.
