Curry Yakumido

September 11, 2025

Curry Yakumido has such a comfortable vibe. The owner was very welcoming and personable. My husband and I got the beef and chicken curry combo and it was so incredible as our first Japanese curry. After a long day of walking and both having headaches, this was the perfect place to enjoy a delicious meal and good conversation.

We were on the hunt for some great curry and stumbled across this place, and it checked every box! The place is cozy, enough seating for about 5 people at a time. The owner and his friend were such gems, we chatted for awhile during our meal! The curry is a great portion with deep and rich flavours. Couldn’t recommend enough!!

YAKUMIDO CURRY&RICE – Highly Recommended! We stopped by this restaurant during our stay in Osaka, and it was a total win! The curry was simply delicious – aromatic, full of flavor, with the perfect balance of spices and fresh ingredients. Portions are ok, and the prices are super reasonable. But what truly won us over was the heart of the owner. We had a little mishap: we'd booked a hotel with no reception, and they forgot to send us the door code, ignoring all our messages. The owner of YAKUMIDO not only helped us get in touch with the hotel but also sorted it out so we could finally get the code and access our room. That kind of help goes way beyond standard service – we felt truly taken care of. We'll be back for sure!

I am writing a late review from my visit in March, but I want to share my experience at this fantastic place I discovered while heading back to where we were staying. It definitely did not disappoint. The owner was a wonderful person; I couldn’t speak any Japanese, but his English was superb. We had a great conversation about Australia, and it made the food taste even better. He also provided plenty of suggestions for viewing cherry blossoms, including some lesser-known spots where I could avoid large crowds of tourists. I found the curry a bit puzzling, as there wasn’t much meat in it, but I believe that’s how it’s meant to be. I have no complaints on my end—the owner has truly mastered the dish. The flavors warmed me up on a chilly winter day. I’m not sure if you remember my visit, but thank you for everything you do!

The curry was delicious, I recommend it spicy! The owner was so fun to talk to and we had great conversation. He was patient, letting us practice Japanese and sharing very interesting facts about Kyoto’s history and shrine recommendations. Highly recommend!
