Nice food and reasonable price!
Went to this lovely spot around lunch time on Saturday. The interior is cozy and reminiscent of a typical lunch spot in Japan. They have a small amount of staff as service seems slighty slow
Ordered the curry bowl, tonkostu hot ramen, gyoza and the unagi deluxe bento
Curry = Delicious. Simple but extremely good flavouring. Probably the favourite. 5/5
Ramen = Quite good with a good kick of spice. A kind of sweet sour take on ramen. 3.5/5
Unagi DB = It was quite evident the eel was old and kept frozen for a long time as it was tough, rubbery and generally not appealing at all. This got a hard pass. Do not recommend ordering. I guess its expected of a fast easy type of food place. 1/5. However the side dishes that came with the bento were good.
Overall I would definitely come back here for a quick and delicious meal.
After many years of dining here, I can safely say that the top quality of their dishes has not changed. I remember eating here religiously almost every lunch time and ordering their Chicken Katsu curry when the shop was located in Elizabeth Arcade. Many years later, I found myself eating here again and the curry tastes exactly how I remembered. Good value and decent portions. Must try!
Quick and very friendly service. We much enjoyed the food - eel (tried for the first time) and tempura. Thank-you! But would prefer chairs to stools.
Staff: good, always nice and smile a lot
Food: I only had curry rice with meat (fish, chicken, pork etc.) and so far pretty well. Stable serving.
Might be busy during lunch time but free at dinner time.
I really love the service here, the ladies are always super nice taking my order !! Always smiling, I always order the grilled chicken curry and they’ve never failed to disappoint me. My favourite curry place in Brisbane 😍
My kareshi will probably complain, that the best restaurant in Brisbane would be Nonbei Sake Bar & BBQ or his favorite Wagaya. But I, somehow, have a great weakness for a restaurant for the mass. Yes, I would rather dine in at Yukihira's than go to Nakira Erina 😆. When it comes to udon soup, Udonya Tokoton is heaven, but honestly, I prefer Kadoya instead. In Udonya Tokoton, the tempura is fried before-hand and kept warm for customers. Sometimes, they lost their crispiness, and the hot soup are served lukewarm.
One of our absolute favourite places to go, unfortunately relocated a bit further out of the CBD but still close enough. I give it a high rating because it follows what's most important to me: You can crave it, they will always satisfy you (in flavour and quantity), and it never worries us whether we can afford having it.
Kadoya's best feature is that it's always worth the money, you're never left dissatisfied neither with quantity or quality of food.
They have an assortment of popular Japanese style dishes, but definitely their most important dishes are the Curry katsu chicken and pork; their curry sauce is always perfect and the customisable amount of heat is very helpful. Your typical serving comes with plenty of rice, a small side of salad with vinagrette, some pickled ginger for the heat and a nice quality serving of crumbed chicken or pork.
It's important to remember that with every full dish you can add a Ramen or Udon at a heavily discounted price, so you can transform your $11 chicken into a $16 ramen soup plus chicken curry two course meal.
I also am a big fan of their tempura because it's always perfectly crispy and the vegetables are very well cooked, the carrots end creamy and sweet and the prawns have this fabulous coating, they're also always fresh (no fishyness!).
The Ramen/Udon aren't perfect, but they're a good price and a lot of people seem to be happy to go there for it as well. Please be aware Ramen is definitely popular, but quite a few arent as happy with the Udon, so you may want to avoid it.
This place is crazy popular with UberEats and Deliveroo and with uni students because of their price to quality ratio.
The locale itself is so-so, sadly it isn't the best decorated but instead more encouraging to have a quick meal and chat and leave; staff are always very, very polite though.
My favourite place for unagi rice😋, they always cook the eel just right but there's always too much rice and not enough eel😂😂😂 and the price is reasonable as well
Their chicken and pork dishes are their strength - particularly chicken katsu curry and chicken karaage. Good cheap prices from a little hole in the wall in a convenient Brisbane city location. Food is hot and fresh and priced reasonably. Not as keen on their unagi don and other dishes.
