+ LUNCH MENU
They don’t have lunch menu
Basic 4 kinds and Special menu developed by lab itself.
You can choose rice amount from “Big” “Normal” “ Small” and won’t affect the price so normally gentleman will request “Big”. They told me that “Big” is about 3-4 bowl. I ask for “Small” but that is quite similar to normal for regular shop. You can make them “To-Go” as well..
- TCL011 : Onion Chicken Curry --- 1,000 yen
I ordered when I first visited them. They make onion to golden color so that can taste rich and even slightly sweet. It’s not just a curry paste but have enough presence to be single dish. Chicken becomes tender enough to separate with spoon. It’ was quite heavy dish.
 TCL001 : Almond Chicken Curry --- 1,000 yen ( right photo )
I tried when I visited for second time. They are mild and sweet. Maybe because of almond? But it’s quite spicy. I imagine ladies and kids may like it. I worried a bit about their calories but finish them all! I like it!! Compare to Onion Chicken Curry, light taste and the color lighter as well. Have 2 big pieces of chicken.
- TCL005 : Double Minced Meat Curry --- 1,100 yen
A curry with roughly minced beef and pork with special spices.
- TCL009 : Spicy Pork Curry --- 1,200 yen
A curry with tender pork back ribs with dry coriander and selected spices.
Last 2 is curry from Lab. For this summer they are :
- Eggplant and Minced Meat Curry / Summer special --- 1,200 yen
- Summer Vegetable Curry / Summer special --- 1,200 yen
You can combine 2 kinds of curry as follows…
- Almond Chicken Curry + Double Minced Meat Curry --- 1,350 yen
- Almond Chicken Curry + Spicy Pork Curry --- 1,400 yen
- Almond Chicken Curry + Onion Chicken Curry --- 1,300 yen
- Double Minced Meat Curry + Spicy Pork Curry --- 1,450 yen
- Double Minced Meat Curry + Onion Chicken Curry --- 1,350 yen
- Spicy Pork Curry + Onion Chicken Curry --- 1,400 yen
I felt so special about their Lassi they give us in a small glass. You can put it in your curry or you can drink. They’ll make curry even milder. I recommend to kids.
+ ATMOSPHERE
Located in Tokyo Tower where a lot of families and tourist visit. Go up to 2nd floor to the right, using glass wall and using white color for their interior maybe because they are imaging “Laboratory”. They’re clean and chic. Main producer Mr. Koyama, a broadcast writer and eminent creator joined to make attractive restaurant including their original table ware, place mat, spoon and glass. Its funny to see the gap between this chic place and the local taste Tokyo Tower. (Just for info, the next door is “Taiyoro” a Chinese buffet)
 There is white O shape counter table in the center of the shop, which is shiny clean. All 30 seats are at counter so you won’t feel lonely when you visit alone. When I visit, most of customers were 1-2people party or by family.
After you take your seat, you’ll realize eye-catching place mat in front of you layout of information about curry which is quite cute!
I was thinking to bring it home and laminate to be able to use as home use place mat!!
 There is a monitor in front of you. It shows you not a TV program but a artistic video like “a liquid soap like thing is flowing on a concrete road” all the time. This was a bit strange for me. Why this video in curry shop?
Anyway take a careful look at even a paper napkin. They make it a comment form!! This is really good idea!! Its eco and people will always take a look of it !!
You can enjoy a symbolic view of Tokyo Tower and curry as well
And of course don’t forget to stop by our Azabu Interior show room after that!!
You can be linked to more photos! (Click each title )
