Tips for visiting the show that even a novice can understand

Ordering Suggestions

First-time visitors can choose two curry sauces with distinctly different styles (e.g., rich × spicy), and then choose a mini-spicy or creamy style to complete the spectrum. If the presence of ingredients is important, it is recommended to choose a rich pie with a meaty texture and a spicy, refreshing pie for a more sustainable flavor.

Queuing and Lines

Peak hours are dominated by lunch 12:00-14:00 and dinner 18:00-20:00, and it is recommended to divert in theDoors open at 11:00After 20:00Entry. If you are traveling with more than one person, you can arrange different booths in different groups, and then gather in the common dining area to have a meal together, which is more efficient.

Payment & Portion Control

Since the sauce is sold separately from the rice, please pay attention to the number of times you check out and the quantity of your order to avoid ordering too much at one time. For those who want to go cheap, you can share a portion of rice with two people and take turns ordering different curry sauces.
