I always think Causeway bay is a Asian culture concentration point, especially Japanese and Korean. So, to find a Japanese restaurant is not hard there, and that day I went to meet that big chimpanzee!
Japanese & chimpanzee, believe the two keywords work out to be 'Go Go Curry'. It's not along the street, you must know clearly where it locates and which floor it is mounted!
Yellow and black is the first impressive it gives me. Yellow for the all over color of the restaurant; black is the ugly-looking chimpanzee, why he looks so angry and... Crazy angry to kill someone!!!
我總是覺得銅鑼灣是個日韓元素聚集的地方，那裡最缺的一定不是日式餐廳！這日就領著朋友去尋找大猩猩~
日本加上大猩猩，這兩個關鍵字放在一起，有心人就知道我說的是Go Go Curry； 不是沿街的店鋪，所以算是不太起眼的食肆。
黃色與黑色是一如店鋪給我的第一印象，證件店鋪都是亮黃色的，很顯眼；黑色則是那隻有些惡惡的大猩猩，看起來好似很生氣！
The environment worth to mention is,
the ceiling - an extension of wall, making you feel like walk into and set in a cave! Is a modern, angry, city chimpanzee lives in a cave? And he's loving curry!!!
It's run like a fast food chain store, order and wait and get what you ordered from a getting-food window connecting kitchen and eating area. Quite Japanese!
就餐環境最有特色的要屬天花板！是大猩猩的延伸，讓你有種做了回山頂洞人的感覺；而廚房也是開放式的，有些像食堂，留出一條狹長的窗口供交流供取餐盤。
Not many customers after lunch time in weekend, so we picked up the wonderful 4-seats table beside window with a high view. Except basic sauces, there's a tall big box of Japanese appetizer - Pickled Radish, on the table. It's perfectly pairing with curry for the fresh, crispy, juicy and a little cool taste. I love Chinese made similar one since my childhood! Yes! Since my childhood, that means I'm still obsessed to it, while there's not a lot choice in Hong Kong, and it doesn't tastes that yummy as hometown made ones.
剛過午餐時段，就餐的顧客很少，我們便很輕易佔據靠窗的靚位，一飽眼福。桌上除了一些基本調味樽，一大桶鮮紅色的腌蘿蔔則是日式開胃小菜的經典。腌蘿蔔的酸甜清爽恰好能解去咖喱的粘滯，是絕配！而我則是大小就愛吃腌蘿蔔，不過香港這邊卻不常見，就算有也不似上海超市里買來的那麼好吃。
The best sell is Deep Fried Pork with Curry & Rice (any single one can switch from rice to wu dong), and it turns out to be free to order one regular drink with curry. Good!
My choice is Deep Fried Shrimp with Curry & Rice. Actually the curry is the same; it's dark brown (not attractive looking, and easy to make you imagine other stuff). The texture is middle thick but not creamy, I can say its like jelly or frozen fat layer on the homemade Chinese soup (meat soup). Curry mixed with rice, but they two will not really come to ONE like curry dishes we always have in other places. You can still chew the rice coz it's middle-hard; I don't know how they make this curry, which just gives you a fresh & cool feeling in you mouth, like mint?! It's not sweet like familiar honey-apple something instant Japanese curry sauce. Such a special taste! But it's delicious; let me find the 4th type of curry (my own curry dictionary) listing after Indian curry, southeast Asian curry, Chinese/ Cantonese curry and Japanese sweet (honey) curry.
To choose between shrimp and pork, I prefer shrimp for sure. The pork is not bad, free-oil taste and soft, but it's not juicy enough and texture seems to be too soft that lack of chewy feeling. Shrimp is good, clean and complete shape covered with slim fried flour. It tastes very fresh, crispy outside but 'live' in mouth.
熱賣咖喱，炸豬扒咖喱飯（可轉烏冬），單點竟然包送管裝汽水或冰紅茶，不錯！
我則選了炸蝦咖喱飯。實際上咖喱都是一樣的，顏色有些深（讓人聯想到一坨坨的）。咖喱的質地算是中等程度的濃稠，但又不顯得粘膩，個人覺得質地有些類似啫喱或是肉湯雪櫃后生成的那層凍住的油脂。咖喱配白飯，但不似出面咖喱飯那樣完全融在一起，飯粒浸在咖喱汁內，其實他們是略略分離的，可以嚼到飯粒的甜香與韌韌的感覺。其實我不太清楚日式咖喱的種類，只覺得這份咖喱的味道是我人生中嘗試到的新品種！算是第五類咖喱吧，帶著微微清涼的口味，很特別！前四者大致算是印度咖喱、東南亞咖喱、中式咖喱以及日式咖喱（帶蜂蜜蘋果元素的甜咖喱）。
炸蝦與炸豬扒相比我更鍾情前者，豬扒不差，不油膩且軟身，芝士我嫌不夠Juicy,質地太過軟身沒了豬豬肉的口感；炸蝦則好很多，利落完整的大蝦包在薄薄的炸粉內，外脆內爽彈，在嘴裡活潑潑的。
Tips for you,
-
if you just chase for its curry, remember do not order any 'Set'! Coz the set one is a smaller size of regular one, with a bowl of daily soup which is fair; and I don't like the deep fried pork is separately put into another plate instead of putting on the curry & rice.

It's a simple Japanese restaurant, thus they only have soft drinks like coca or nestle lemon tea and so on. Don't think they will give you a cup of milktea!
