Checked out a Jap curry place at B1 of Gemdale Plaza ( Maison Mode) and it was yummy!

Prices ranged from 25 - 50RMB for a plate of curry soaked meat/ veg & rice. You can choose your desired level of spiciness and how much rice to have. The amount of rice ranges from 200g to 500g... though I can't imagine eating 500g of rice!  I had the Hamburger Curry - a breaded and deep fried meat patty with generous amounts of spicy curry - topped off with an extra serving of potato croquettes ( comes in 2 pcs).  The meat patty had onion bits in it which made it super tasty. Dan had the Katsu Curry. The pork was tender and freshly deep fried, which made it taste good. 

My only complaint is the lack of fresh shredded cabbage which is typically a complimentary side at most Jap restaurants when you have curry. Salads here were separate orders.  Without the salad, the curry seemed like a very heavy meal. In fact I was full till the next morning! 

Coco Curry House claims to be part of a famous Japanese franchise with more than 1000 stores in Japan. You can check out the parent company's homepage for more info

Verdict - a great place for a quick, delish and extremely filling meal. Decor reminds me of conveyor belt sushi joints i.e small, plastic-y so definitely not a place for a romantic meal!
