Got the Hamburg Steak and Chicken Katsu - both were thoughtfully packed with the curry sauce on the side and utensils (fork, spoon and knife) wrapped in a napkin. Unfortunately, we didn't eat this right away. Instead, we went for a walk at a park and ate the food about an hour later. And it was still so, so, so delicious! If we had eaten it fresh, it would have been spectacularly even better than so, so, so delicious! And I'm also not a Japanese curry person - I don't hate it but I also don't love it either. Yet, Champion's Curry was still able to blow my socks off. Must eat! Must try!

Pretty sad presentation. The curry was way more spicy than expected. It hit the spot tho. The chicken was yummy. It had a bit of a crunch to it. Not too crispy...I liked it. The curry flavor was on point. It was yummy. For the price , they need to put a bit more rice and a bit more chicken. It looked more like a kid size portion.

Not sure about street parking. There's not a lot of lightning at night except for the business signages that do give off lighting. Upon entry, I was greeted and seated right away. Came here during late lunch so they weren't super busy. Not a big restaurant with a capacity of about 40 people. One all gender restroom available for customer use only. Lunch special menu was available. Other menu had main items, appetizers, and drinks. Prices were fairly reasonable. They are known for their famous pork katsu. I am not a big katsu fan so I didn't get it. Mochi Udon looked interesting so I got it with the Chicken Karaage (free offer from food passport... stamp #10) plus water. While I was waiting for my order, I was fascinated by all the different designed ducks displayed on the window sills and front counter. I am curious about their duck story. Inquirer wants to know. Mochi Udon bowl came out piping hot and steamy. A small plate of cabbage came with it. The bowl's nice presentation made it pleasantly appetizing. Broth was savory and slightly sweet in a good soothing way. Udon noodles tasted homemade... very bouncy and slippery. YUM! Two mochis were soft and chewy. Fish cakes were fresh and delicious. One chicken piece was moist and tender. Wished there was one or two more chicken pieces though... one was just a teaser! Chicken Karaage was the best looking and tasting plate I have ever had. I was impressed with its presentation and the mochi-like batter taste. Chicken was very moist. I enjoyed it very much. SO GOOD! Highly recommend. Thanks Ducks! Staff was friendly and nice. Overall service was good. Kirk was kind to offer his recommendations for my next visit. Thanks Kirk! I had such a delicious lunch dine-in. I came back for dinner take-out. I called in my order. Lady on the phone was nice and cordial. My order was ready upon arrival. Haven't eaten the take-out food yet, but I'm sure it's all good. It's a YES, I'll be back!

Came here for lunch and got their lunch special cold udon + mini (beef) curry rice set…read more Starting off with the curry. It was very tasty and flavorful, rice was cooked well. The beef was also very tender and juicy. However, I wish the flavor of the curry permeated more into the beef as the beef tasted a little underseasoned. I love cold noodles on a hot day, and I tend to prefer my noodles a little softer. The cold udon was served at the perfect temperature, but texture wise was a little on the al dente side. It was chewy but bordering a little too chewy/ hard. I wish it was cooked for 30-60s longer! Other than that, flavor of he broth was good. The lunch set was a good amount of food and I left feeling full (couldnt finish my rice as it was too much carbs). Service is good and the restaurant was not too crowded when I was there. Would love to come back again to support a local restaurant and try out other stuff on their menu!

If you like katsu or curry, this place is bomb…read more It is fast casual, you can order online or on an app, and most customers are getting take out, but I see nothing wrong with that. The item we get the most is tonkatsu pork cutlet with egg omelet, rice and curry. The curry is just a sauce, no extra chunks of vegetable like carrot or onion but after trying numerous spots, we really enjoy the flavor and seasoning of the curry. The pork is always juicy and well-friend and the egg adds extra protein and texture. Instead, there are steamed broccoli florets which I like even better. The other item I'm obsessed with lately is the Tomato Wagyu Patty Rice Bowl. White rice is topped with a smallish wagyu hamburg patty of sorts, a tomato "salsa" which is like a chunky tomato sauce. The tomato sauce is addictive and it's great mixed with the rice. My only qualm with this dish is that it could use two patties, or even three to complement the amount of rice. We had a bit of a curry katsu kick and tried the dish from numerous restaurants in the area. I can safely say that Curry Flurry remains at the top of our list.

For soup I usually get the gingseng soup with silkie chicken which is packed with flavor and nutrients. I have tried both the herbal jelly and iced lemon tea, however my favorite would be tea. At first I thought the herbal jelly was drink, but I was surprised when it arrived as a turtle shaped jelly. Parking: there is a huge lot behind the restaurant. Service: quick and efficient

This time, I ordered the beef stew rice, which was tender, rich, and full of flavor. I've also tried their clay pot rice before, and I really liked that the meal came with traditional 老火湯 (slow-simmered soup) and 龜苓膏 (herbal jelly). Such a nice combination and a thoughtful touch! I was really hoping to try their squab rice, but unfortunately, it wasn't available that day. Definitely something to come back for! I also tried their Macau iced coffee, which was incredibly strong but delicious, even without any added sugar. Perfect if you enjoy bold coffee! Overall, a great lunch spot for authentic HK-style flavors and thoughtfully prepared dishes.

The chashu wasnt too fat but got a good mixed of marbling. The portion was good. I was full without having side dishes. The waitress was attentive and friendly. Overall, I think this place deserves a 4.5 out of 5.

There's an option to request for less salt in the broth which I really appreciated. It hit the spot without making me feel like I sacrificed my kidney. The texture of the fresh noodles were cooked perfectly and the broth had just the right punch to it without being too oily. The chashu had the right amount of fattiness. My friend got the tonkatsu red and loved it. He's not normally someone that compliments food so I was a bit surprised. We both wiped our bowls clean and left no noodz behind. We also ordered a shareable agedashi tofu which was delicious as well. Service was great. The staff was polite and checked in on us a few times. The space is very modern and well kept. There's a lot of tables so it isn't a problem bringing larger groups here. Parking is very easy since it's in a huge lot. It's been awhile since I've found a ramen spot that thoroughly impressed me.

We never had the chance to visit it when we were in Chinatown, but this location is much more convenient for us. I know my wife and son also like Pork Katsu. I wanted to try the Honey Walnut Shrimp Sando. It was good, with a very distinct sweet flavor. My wife and son didn't care for it, but I enjoyed it. My wife saw some people with katsu plates and ordered the Pork Katsu Plate, and my son got the Chicken Katsu Sando. In our opinion, the Pork Katsu was the best. The white bread for the sando complemented the katsu so well. Next time, I'd like to order the Pork Katsu Plate. We would definitely come back here again!

Tonkatsu was cooked well and a good meat to batter ratio. Sometimes places skimp out and give too much breading. The curry was tasty and had a nice kick to it! Drinks: SO MUCH DRINK. I was not expecting cups THIS big. Wow. Talk about bang for your buck with the food AND drinks! My bf got the mango passion fruit slush and it was heavy on the mango and the aftertaste always passion fruit. I got the white grape and lychee yogurt drink and it was good. I could taste more lychee but that's chill! Not complaining! I even had lychee bits at the bottom! We got charged for an extra drink so the owner said we could either get a new drink or get a refund.
