Doya Doya, the okonomiyaki specialist, has closed and has been replaced by Curryfornia, a Japanese curry restaurant.
I haven’t tried it yet but am curious if anyone else has checked it out? Looking at the Yelp photos, some of the options that come with the curry, like the karaage and the shrimp tempura, definitely look frozen from a box. To be fair, that’s not the end of the world if you’re coming here for the curry.
Your brother might still be forlorn after trying Chinchikurin - totally different style. The Doya Doya version was Kansai/Osaka-style, and quite a good one. I miss Doya Doya - and my roots are from Hiroshima.
