" Had a mixed experience here. While the curry had a good base flavor, I found it lacking an extra kick that I personally prefer. The service was good, but the wait during peak hours was longer than expected. A little disappointing overall, but worth another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't rave enough about this place! The Katsu Curry was mouthwatering and just the right amount of spicy. The owner was welcoming, reminding me of the hospitality I experienced in Japan. The seating can be a bit tight, but the food more than makes up for that! Will definitely return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Calm little spot in Portland for curry lovers! The ambiance is laid-back, made even better by the amazing service. I ordered the chicken katsu doria and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was! The portions are generous, and I'd go back to try more options on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Brought a friend here for her first experience with Japanese curry, and she loved it! The chicken Katsu was juicy and well-seasoned, while the curry was comforting and flavorful. The staff were friendly and offered insightful suggestions from their menu. It’s a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Kalé and was truly impressed! The ambiance is simple but cozy, which creates a welcoming environment. I ordered the Doria, and it was hearty and comforting. The owner’s passion for food really shines through. It may be small, but it makes up for it with flavor and service! " (*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*)
