Hanaichi - Kurunjang

Insta: melbfoodie_mark<br/ YT: MelbFoodieMark<br/ Check them out for more food reviews in Melbourne!<br/ <br/ A decent place for quick and cheap Japanese meal! I was reluctant to visit this place since it looked fancy from outside but I am glad I tried it! I tried the Famous Kay's Chicken and Egg Tempura Don. Kay's Chicken was basically fried chicken, salad, rice and special mayo sauce together. It was sweet and savoury and chicken tasted fresh and juicy. Best of all, it was only $8.9 : Egg Tempura Don was a bit bland but well balanced overall. It was more savoury than sweet

Very good service. Yummy Chicken Karage, Chicken Rice Hanaichi, Wagyu beef Curry.But Ramen is very plain. Personally I won't recommend the ramen at all.

Love the tofu curry in particular. Crispy tasty coating, soft tofu, tasty curry, great value for the portion. Service friendly and quick!

Hanaichi always satisfies. It's reasonably priced, their menu is easy to navigate and service is always efficiently fast. <br/ <br/ I recently had their udon. This was prepared at lightning speed. The broth was umami and the udon had a nice texture. The fried chicken pieces were well seasoned. <br/ <br/ Simple, cheap and delicious fare in the heart of the CBD. What else could you ask for?

Hanaichi is one of the most popular restaurants in QV and after experiencing it for yourself, it's not hard to see why. The chicken thigh curry has become my go to lightly coated and juicy chicken pieces go incredibly well with the succulent curry. The rice is cooked longer than normal, resulting in a mushier version that goes hand in hand with the curry. Pickled daikons round out the dish beautifully. And that's all there is to it, and all that you need out of a curry and a lunch.<br/
