" I adore Kalé. The little details matter here; the cheese on the doria mixed with the curry is heavenly. The owner really knows how to make his guests feel at home. It’s a cozy little spot where I enjoyed a lovely meal and left feeling satisfied and happy. Definite recommendation! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally stopped by Kalé after hearing so much about it, and it did not disappoint! The curry was rich and full of flavor. I also appreciated the quick service, which was great since we were on a tight schedule. I will certainly be returning. Laksa and more of that delicious Dashimaki Tamago next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kalé is a splendid spot for anyone seeking authentic Japanese curry. I have traveled to Japan, and this place reminded me of my time there. The curry is rich and hearty, and the addition of cheese on top is pure comfort. The staff were quick to serve and very accommodating. If you’re in the area, it's a restaurant not to miss! " (*Curated Review*)

" The vegan curry at Kalé was surprisingly delicious; I truly enjoyed every bite. The portion sizes were generous, and the flavors made it feel like comfort food. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for something tasty and different. The owner was also super friendly. A great find! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came expecting greatness based on the reviews but was slightly disappointed. The curry was okay but didn’t match the rave reviews I’d read. On the plus side, the service was wonderfully friendly. I might come back someday when it's less busy. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious curry packed with flavor! I ordered the vegetable curry and loved how hearty it was. It’s clearly prepared with passion, and that made the taste even better. The place had a nice, casual vibe too. I will be coming back when I’m in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful little restaurant! The beef doria was out this world. The flavors really stood out in each bite, and the service was exceptional. It’s nice to see an owner who is so passionate about what he does. I’ve already told several friends about this hidden gem in Portland. " (*Curated Review*)
