Genuinely just no notes on either the NEW "Popeye Curry" Pork & Spinach or the Japanese Potato Croquettes Curry, both were delicious, affordable, perfectly packaged, and this is coming from someone who in general hates the bay area food scene

I think there needs to be a proper and detailed review as Japanese curry is one of my favorite dishes:
Portion size:
Half of the container was filled with curry...half. Pork cutlet was the size of a childs hand, the rice was the only decent size portion. To pay for extra portion would not have been worth it considering this was a bit expensive already. (See pictures below)
Flavor:
the beef curry itself had a sweeter / spicier flavor profile. Not too salty, hefty in consistency. Personally no complaints there. I like my curry more on the savory side but every place is different.
Pork cutlet was somewhat moist, but lacking in seasoning, even a bit of salt could've went a long way.
Packaging:
Excellent
Would i order again? Maybe but only if portions are better, and seasoning the pork cutlet happens.

Nippon Curry serves Hinoya Curry, which in my opinion is the best Japanese curry in the world (it even won the Grand Prix in 2013). The curry itself is top-tier and the packaging is excellent for delivery - keeps everything separate until you're ready to combine it all into the huge provided bowl. Of course I'd rather eat at the restaurant itself but I can't imagine how the delivery experience could be any better. The katsu and karaage are wonderful toppings, but the secret weapon is probably the Kani Cream Croquette, which oozes a delicious crab-flavored cream over everything when you break it open, like a seafood-flavored Cadbury egg. You cannot go wrong. Nippon Curry for life.

All they do is Japanese curry and fried stuff to put on Japanese curry, and they're really good at it. The side of pickles elevates the Pork Katsu Curry by adding sweetness, acid and crunch to complement it's unctuous richness. I couldn't taste the crab in their crab croquettes last time, but their Side Japanese Potato Croquettes 2pc are excellent versions, crispy then creamy, though they kind of need the tonkatsu sauce.

The curry is rich and on the heavier side. The tonkatsu was crispy and seasoned well, also didnt fall apart when you cut into it. It's tough to find a good curry house and this is by far the best ive had in northern california. Makes me happy I don't have to travel to Japan for decent curry now.
Critiques if the restaurant is listening: I could really use some more side options like onsen egg, garlic bits, spice level on curry, some naan, and I miss the mango lassi.
