CoCo Ichibanya Curry House, Jakarta

Hey guys! In this food blog, I'm going to tell you about my experience at the CoCo Ichibanya Curry House in Jakarta, which originated from Japan, and has been acclaimed as one of the best curry restaurants in Japan as well as Indonesia since it's grand opening in Jakarta last year. It was the first time I've been here, and first impressions on the outlet were OK. The restaurant itself isn't that special, but not surprising since they are known to pay more attention to the food than the ambience, whether in Indonesia or Japan. As you can see from the picture above, that was what I ordered. It's called the minced beef curry with cheese sides.

The restaurant, as I've said before, is mundane. It looked like a typical fast food restaurant where you have to order first, where the only difference is that they have waiters who will bring the food to your table, opposed to a normal fast food outlet where you have to wait for your food before being able to sit down at a table or booth. I went to it's chain at the Kelapa Gading Mall in North Jakarta. It was located in the food court of the mall, so you had the option to order from the restaurant and sit in the food court area, where they will still bring the food to your table. I rate my overall experience a 7 out of 10. Although the curry was great, the only downside to it was that there was nothing new or unique to what they have to offer, and I could find a lot of curry houses in Jakarta with a similar taste and setting, although this one was the best (which I'd be astonished if it wasn't). But at the end it was still a great experience and I recommend it to anyone. So I guess that concludes this blog, have a great weekend!
