Favorite curry place. Hands down. I'm soooooo glad they came to Berkeley! This is their third location as their first originates in Los Altos and the second is located in San Francisco. This restaurant is located where the former So Oishii (So glad it's gone) restaurant is and next to the empty lot (RIP Intermezzo). As it is a new place, I will be kind in my review because they were definitely still getting used to the new location. The staff was friendly but they were understaffed so the service wasn't the best. They seemed to only have two waitresses which seemed to have trouble with a full capacity restaurant. Also, one thing to note is that although there seems to be max capacity of tables for the restaurant, all of them were really close together. I hope you don't mind making friends with new people! Ha ha. But seriously though, I saw two random couples awkwardly put in two tables that were an inch apart. Both parties had trouble getting into the seats because of spacing as well. The menu was standard for a Japanese curry restaurant and nothing special stood out. Having only been here once, I cannot comment too much on the menu. I tried the Spicy Noodles, which were surprisingly spicy! I mean, like not Japanese spicy, but it actually carried a kick to it. They were pretty good but I tried the Katsu Curry, which was a good portion for its size. The curry itself was delicious and the Katsu was nicely breaded. All in all, I enjoyed my meal immensely and will definitely come back. Hopefully, they work their problems out as time passes. Here's to hoping Muracci's has found a home in Berkeley! read more
