opilicious "HOORAY MEAT!"

Being my first time here, I decided to order what I assume is their signature dish, the pepper beef over rice. This dish simply consists of a mound of rice surrounded by beef, and sprinkled with corn. Adding corn to a dish just cheapens the look and taste for me. Maybe that’s just me. But anyways, I also added an egg for 50cents.

Shortly after you order, the sizzling plate arrives at your table. The meat is still raw and cooking on the hot iron plate, so it’s probably advisable to wait until the meat is cooked before digging in… unless eating raw beef is your thing. Taste was only mediocre and the whole dish was just unimpressive. Service was minimal as well.

There are plenty of other better dining options in the McCarthy Ranch area.

Man, I wouldn’t have survived college without this place. Funny enough, I never actually had the curry at this place in my 4 years of living in LA. That’s because the chicken pasta is so frickin fantastic. My stomach wouldn’t allow me to order anything else. (And on a college budget, my wallet wouldn’t allow it either.) This dish is spaghetti with cutlets of fried chicken covered with sautéed mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers, and then smothered with their special and oh-so-good white sauce. Nothing fancy but it’s creamy, it’s filling, and it’s delicious.

The place isn’t too big and space can get tight as the place fills up. There may be a short wait for a table, but don’t be discouraged. You’ll be pleasantly rewarded by what Hurry Curry has to offer.

Next time I’m in town, I’ll try and visit and taste their other fine items on the menu.

This place reminded me of walking into a ski lodge with its high wood ceilings, warm cozy atmosphere, and a gigantic fireplace.

The fireplace here though was actually the oven used to roast their rotiserrie chicken, which is what I ordered since they looked delicious. The first couple of bites was what I had expected. Very flavorful, tender, and oozing with juices. However, the center was just slightly undercooked and a little pink. The desserts were not very impressive either. They had other interesting items on the menu though which I’d be willing to come back and try.

The service was nothing outstanding, but they were friendly and courteous. The overall lunch experience here was average on a pretty quiet saturday lunch hour. I’m hoping other items on the menu will excite my palate a little more and maybe the dinner scene is a little more lively.
