May 5th, GoGo’s birthday, 5 dollar curry for sizes up to large.
After seeing the link to GoGo on the Monday AM links page, I gave this place a try, being that it’s only 4 block from me. The curry is indeed delicious, Thick, dark and creamy, and not overwhelmingly spicy. The curry is sweet, and goes well with the chicken katsu. The Medium order is very filling and works well at 7.50, but compared to Yagura, It’s feels alittle overpriced. At Yagura, you can get similar curry, with fried chicken or pork a little bit more rice and a little bit more curry and a dash of pickled vegetable for 5.50. They curry is not as dark as GoGo, but just as thick and tasty, and comes with a piece of carrot and a potato. plus they sell the curry packs in the store, so you can make the curry yourself at home!
Also, At Yagura, they don’t pad your order with worthless cabbage, though the take out container is a two-compartment container, with about 1/4 being a reservoir of curry and the rest being rice with the fried meat on top.

For the sheer variety of different things you can put on the curry, Id go with GoGo, but if you only want plain-jane fried meat and curry, i say Yagura is a better deal.

You can also get a curry/pork cutlet/rice meal at Men Kui Tei on 56th St. It’s a ramen shop, but I actually prefer their curry rice to their ramen.

the difference between the sizes (besides the grand slam) is the amount of rice they give you. they weight the rice on a scale before they plop your meat of choice on it.

OK, I just got this for lunch for the first time. This is my reaction:

HOLY FURKING SCHNIT!

This is the single most disgusting midtown lunch that I have ever had. I got the pork katsu, a single, and added a chicken cutlet. There is no way I could have finished just the pork. Adding the chicken cutlet was like taking a really huge bong hit after drinking a two forties of da Colt — i.e. totally unnecessary, probably dangerous, and it will surely make you sick.

Gross. Gross. Gross. The whole experience is a little like my reaction to the concept of auto-flagellants in Dostoyevsky, people who whip themselves into a state of holy communion with god — taking a very bad idea and misconstruing it and then believing it is a good, holy, even culturally defining experience. Gross. Gross. Gross.

Matt — I think Virgil’s has the best wings I have ever had. Rather pricey at ~$11, but, by Jeebus, they are GOOD.

If you like curry and pork katsu, you should also try Katsuhama on 47th between Madison and 5th. They specialize in pork cutlets and theirs (both the cutlet and the curry) are the best I’ve had. (Haven’t been to Go Go Curry yet, but I can’t imagine the pork being any better–it’s very moist and breaded perfectly.) I alternate between the curry and the katsu-don when I get a chance to go there.
