The place that I wanted to eat was closed so I decided to eat at Japanese Curry Express instead. It was quite awkward as my friend and I were the only customer there. The atmosphere there was quiet, just the sound of the air-con. But with determination to eat Japanese food, we walked into the shop. There were two people working in the shop.

There were two people working in the shop. One in the front while the other in the kitchen.
The menu was placed on the table but if you needed another one you could ask for it or take another located next to the cash register.
I think that they offer quite a lot of choices despite the small size of the shop. Around 32 items to choose from. Drinks available are soft drinks- 100 plus, green tea, lemon tea etc..($1.50)
When I saw the menu I knew what I wanted- Sushi! I wanted to try all their sushi but they only had enough rice to make 2 more. ): But 2 is still good. We ordered Salmon Mentai($8.50) and Ebi Mango Maki($9). The salmon mentai maki is crabmeat and cucumber topped with salmon and a spoon of creamy cod roe, lightly torched. The sushi was yummy, although I had tastier ones before but still, it was worth it.
Next came the Ebi Mango Maki, deep fried prawn with mango, topped with tobiko, drizzled with mayonnaise and some sesame seeds. Presentation of the dish looked great. The mango was quite mild. Fried ebi and sushi just go so well together.
The Hiyashi Ramen($6.50) consisted of chilled ramen noodles with slices of naruto, cucumber, pork and crabmeat with some sauce that tasted a little like sesame sauce used in Chinese cooking. It is a very refreshing dish.
Well how can you not order a curry dish in a place called Japanese Curry Express? I ordered the Pork Katsu Curry Rice($6.50). Curry and pork were average, nothing above average. What I enjoyed eating here was the sushi and that there is no service charge or GST. Will definitely be back to try more of their maki!
