QUICKIE REVIEW Delicious curry waits for you here. FOOD This is what I tried: -pork curry   Truly tasty sweet curry that I wish I could have more of.   A large serving will be in order next time along with their spiciest level. Potatoes...comes with the curry and does a really good job of soaking any remaining curry (if any) that is leftover.   PARKING No, it’s Tokyo.  You know better than to ask that. SERVICE Good.  Waitress was there as we needed her.   PRICE About $23 (2300 yen) for curry with a beer. TIP/OTHER THOUGHTS Come during non-peak times.  I came at roughly 1400 and there was a long line in the hallway 5 minutes after I got there (mind you I waited 10 minutes in line).  This place you can see gets busy during rush hour lunch and dinner. For curry in Japan it is a tad bit on the expensive side but I will say it is worth at least one try to see if it is for you.More

This was hands down the best curry I’ve ever had and I would do it all over again even with the long wait. I was recommended to this place by friends and they did warn about the wait times around prime dining hours, but I...wasn’t quite expecting a 2 hour wait. HOWEVER, we came during the weekend of Golden Week, so it was likely an extreme case. I’ve heard that during off hours there is no wait at all, so I will try that next time. The curry is fantastic and comes in a gravy boat served separately from the generous plate of rice. The beef was perfectly tender and savory; the curry sauce was beautifully rich and appropriately spicy. You are served two potatoes with butter as soon as you sit down while you wait. I would recommend skipping it if you have a small stomach and are not famished so you don’t spoil your appetite for the actual curry. The location is a bit out of the way from the main areas of Tokyo if you’re a tourist, so I wouldn’t plan this spot for a day when you’re on a tight schedule with time sensitive activities. I also wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking to have a peaceful, long sit down lunch with your family. This is very much a quick turnover type of place for the best curry in the city (given the awards they’ve won). Highly recommended, wait and all! P.s. Don’t be fooled by the copy cat location on the ground floor to the right and note that this restaurant is called “Curry Bondy” on Google Maps. The real Curry Bondy is up a few flight of steps through a back entrance that looks like a garage (you will see the line queuing on the left).More

I had heard and read about Bondy, but never had a chance to visit, until today. I wasn't disappointed. The beef curry was flavorful and moderately spice. You have your choice of heat. I chose the medium and was fine. My wife thought it a...little too spicy. The service was excellent. They do this by taking orders while waiting in line. We got there about when they opened. The restaurant is on the second floor. Japsnese stairways are tight so be careful. There is an elevator but you use it more often to go down than up because you need to queue to go in. We arrived a few minutes after it opened but there was already a queue and we were at the end of the waiting seats, about 12. Table service was fast and efficient. This isn't a place for a leisurely lunch, eat and go. They don't try to oust you but it is a high turnover place.More
