Mr Curry, Toowong Village Shopping Centre Foodcourt, Toowong

There are a number of Asian outlets in Toowong Village's foodcourt.  I found myself there last Wednesday and decided to try one.  At the time Mr Curry, a Japanese curry place, looked the most appealing, so I had lunch there.  I had the spicy chicken.  My experience with Japanese foodcourt curry places is that the meals are often high on sauce and rice, and low on meat.  At Mr Curry's however, I think I got just about the right amount of meat for what I payed for, considering the cost of eating out in Brisbane.  If Mr Curry's is any indication, I think that the Japanese have mastered the concept of fast food.  The had all the various meats available ready and pre-cooked.  There was one area for rice, a vat for the curry sauce, and pre-prepared salad (which I declined).  So the time between when I placed my order and when I received it was quite short.  I paid particular notice to the vat of curry sauce.  Apparently, at Mr Curry's all curries have the same sauce and it is ladled out in a similar manner to gravy at carveries and refectories.  The sauce also had the appearance and consistency of gravy.  In terms of taste though, the curry sauce was typically Japanese.  It had the blend of flavours one would expect from a Japanese curry and even a little bit of spiciness.  The flavours and spiciness could have been more pronounced, but given that Mr Curry's is a foodcourt type of establishment, I was not expecting maximum authenticity and flavour.  The chicken was crispy.  It could have been crispier, especially after being smothered with curry sauce, but was still quite palatable.  Overall, if you're looking for a relatively cheap, and super fast Japanese curry, Mr Curry's is more than adequate.
