I love this spot for Japanese curry. Jugem is located along South King Street, right in between an…read moreizakaya and a sushi restaurant. Parking is generally available on the street or at the nearby paid lot, and depending on how busy it is, you may have to hunt around the area to park your car. The interior of the shop is cozy and warm, with around 6 tables inside, so seating is somewhat limited. When I visited on a Friday night, I was able to get seating for around 4-5 people immediately. Service is quick, attentive, and friendly, which I appreciated! I got the pork katsu curry, which came out quickly (probably around 15-20 minutes). I overall enjoyed my meal thoroughly! I thought the curry had a good depth of flavor, with a good balance of sweetness and umami. The katsu was delightfully crispy on the outside and juicy inside, which paired well with the hot rice and curry. I also loved how you could request additional curry from the server for no additional charge, which I thought was a nice touch. Jugem is a cozy place to satisfy any cravings for a comforting plate of curry. I would highly recommend visiting!

The free curry was in the cutest gravy boat. This local business on King Street is unassuming from the outside, but feels like home inside. Cute interior, plenty of seating and even fun games while you wait! The menu is rather extensive and the prices are fair. The curry is delicious! Best I've had on island. The food is cooked to order, fresh and hot. Lovely staff. Very welcoming, caring and kind. Be sure to give Jugem a try! I believe they have some sort of rewards program too!

Was planning to enjoy popcorn at movies…read moreso daughter, who frequents this loc advised me to eat the croquettes with curry sauce and rice for a light dinner. Had a long wait since there were six of us, even though we said we would split up into two tables. I understand waiting is common at this loc. Menu is great like most Japanese restaurants because it has pictures of the dishes. Got the croquettes with curry sauce and rice as daughter recommended. Was delicious! Curry sauce - I ordered mild - was very good. Food came relatively quickly but not immediately. Croquettes were just tasty mashed potatoes and the crispy breading was great. Didn't eat much rice since there that so much starch/carbs sincei was saving room for popcorn later but the rice was also very good. One friend had curry udon and a piece of katsu from her husband's meal. She said that's what she usually gets (she is a noodle fan). I would actually come back to try other dishes now that I've tasted the curry sauce if I can figure out how to avoid long waits. Not sure that's possible but I plan to try.

My kids get very hungry right after school, and our food expenses had been adding up and becoming stressful. This place was very affordable and truly helpful for us. It has a casual, comforting feel--just like a traditional Japanese set-meal restaurant. I was a bit unsure about the $9 ramen, but it turned out to be quite good, and my son was very happy with it. I ordered the goya champuru for $10, and it was delicious as well. The Japanese staff seemed very busy, but they were all kind and pleasant, which made the experience even better. We will definitely stop by again after school! とても素敵な体験でした。いつも通りかかるたびに混んでいて気になっていたお店に、今日は息子と一緒に行ってきました。 子どもたちは学校が終わるとすぐにお腹が空くので、食費がかさんで大変だったのですが、こちらはとてもリーズナブルで本当に助かります。日本の定食屋さんのような、気軽に立ち寄れる雰囲気のお店です。 ラーメンが9ドルだったので正直あまり期待していなかったのですが、思っていたよりもしっかり美味しく、息子は大満足でした。私がいただいたゴーヤチャンプル（10ドル）もとても美味しかったです。 忙しそうに働いている日本人スタッフの方々も、丁寧で感じが良く、とても気持ちよく食事ができました。 また学校帰りにぜひ立ち寄りたいと思います。

This place also has a huge menu so there's something for everyone! They have a variety of curry plates, bentos, poke, and even noodle dishes. Our go to is definitely the chicken karaage curry plate! The chicken is always crispy, a bit sweet, and super juicy! It balances out the slightly spicy and salty curry. We also love that there's vegetables in the curry (carrots & potatoes). We love that the curry comes in a separate container so no soggy chicken! We've also tried their gyoza which is always crispy and has a lot of filling inside. Most recently, I tried their miso salmon bento and that was so flavorful! It came with toss salad, edamame, and miso soup! At around $14 per plate, I think that's a pretty good deal for the amount of food you get!

The Seafood Ramen tasted incredibly fresh, with a flavorful broth that felt like it had been simmering for hours. And the Miso Ramen? Deep, hearty, and comforting the kind of bowl you crave again the moment you finish it. I've had ramen all over the island, including Ramen Ya which is way too salty foods and honestly... Sun Sun Ramen takes the crown for me. The flavors were richer, the portions generous, and everything tasted homemade and authentic. Everything was HOT!
