Welcome to Usubane Tokyo

“ All you need to know is this, the curry at Usubane is AMAZING!!! Absolutely delicious!!! The Baked Curry is so unique, who ever considered adding pineapple and bananas to a veggie curry is a genius. The beef curry was super rich with the taste of caramelized onions and spices. ”

“ Dec 2, 2025 Quirky and hippie cafe that opens late. Hot latte (¥750) and chocolate cake (¥700) were not anything crazy but decent for a casual hangout with friends. Seemed popular for their curry but I didn’t have it. I liked the neon signs and the late night store ambience. 70% full at 9:00-10:00pm on a Tuesday night but didn’t feel jammed. ”

“ It's a cute café and restaurant. The person who served me (the owner?) was polite and helpful by going off-menu and making me a fairly good soy latte. The venue is pretty and well decorated and has a casual and friendly vibe about it. The fact that it's a basement induces a slightly claustrophobic feeling, though. Price-wise, slightly more expensive than the café chains at around ¥700 for a cup of coffee, but the quality of the coffee was fairly high. ”

“ The most cozy and the best coffee around of this area. Not only coffee,the sense of Usubane-san for selecting ingredients and sub-items He provides is adored. ”

“ This place is highly underrated. The baked curry was amazing and unique with grilled banana, pineapple, and eggplant. The coffee was no joke either, the server put a lot of care in making it just right. This is a must try if you are anywhere south of Tokyo. ”

“ Grungy, hip underground cafe and bar specializing in curry, there’s a unique ambiance curated with vinyl records and Christmas lighting reminiscent of when I’d go to backyard block parties in Brooklyn back in the day. But it’s Japan, so it’s expected of course an ambiance tailored like this would entail a much cleaner atmosphere, expensively priced food & drinks and slightly pretentious service; however the curry sweetened with pineapple was truly a treat. Overall a solid choice for catching up with a friend in the evening or a fun dinner date where I’d recommend taking advantage of the cozy space and good food & drinks at a slow and steady pace. ”

“ This place instantly became one of my favorite spots in Tokyo. The music in the background is perfect, the ambiance is inviting, and the owner/staff are super friendly...and I haven’t even gotten to the curry yet. Seriously one of the best things I’ve had in Tokyo, the baked curry is a must try. It’s so good. And the coffee is worth getting too. Whatever you do, go eat here. You won’t regret it. ”

“ If you are not introduced to this cozy restaurant, probably you won’t even notice. It’s in basement. “Coffee and curry” is the official sign, but they do serve good drinks and snack to go with drinks. I had a Tacos and they served it very well. I had baked curry - yes, “baked” curry…. Obviously it is fusion as it has got pineapple which is also baked. You may be surprised how the baked curry can go together with their “coffee lemon sour” drink (it’s alcohol, just to be precise). Last, but not least, the chef and waiter make a good team - friendly and genuinely good people. Feel lucky this is in my neighborhood. ”
