Actually, this place wasn't on my must-try list; I just ended up here because the queue at the nearby Kirin Ramen was too long. During lunchtime, there was completely no one dining in the restaurant, so I didn't have to wait to be seated.
This restaurant specializes in "Hokkaido Soup Curry," and the interior decor is somewhat subtle, giving off an American street hip-hop vibe. The lighting is quite dim, and the menu design is pretty good, with illustrations that make it easy to understand.
I ordered the Energetic Tender Chicken Soup Curry and added an extra chicken leg 🍗.
I was a bit surprised that the tender chicken soup curry came with a whole chicken leg! I expected the chicken meat to be in regular chunks, but it turned out to be a thigh, so I ended up eating two large chicken legs 😂.
The chicken leg was somewhat like boiled chicken leg meat, cut from the whole leg including the thigh part. The meat was okay, but I found the seasoning a bit bland, somewhat like poached white meat, and it didn’t really complement the soup curry, which I personally didn't like much.
As for the soup curry, I couldn't taste any prominent layers of spices, which was a bit disappointing, and I wasn't particularly fond of the side dishes either.
I would strongly suggest that the restaurant remove the cooked cucumber; it has an awkward texture neither crispy nor soft, and it doesn’t go well with the curry flavor. When I bit into the cucumber, its strong taste and texture completely ruined the curry experience for me, haha (of course, this is just my personal preference; maybe others really enjoy cooked cucumber with soup curry).
Overall, my dining experience at Silver Rabbit Curry wasn't very satisfying. The environment was a bit odd, and I was disappointed with the meat and the lack of layers in the curry, while the side dishes detracted from the overall experience.
I probably won’t come back to dine here. Next time, I’ll stick to the Kirin Ramen next door 🍜.
