I have to say I don’t remember seeing this available at any Korean restaurant – I think moms mostly cook at home for kids? I’ve had Japanese style curry at restaurants though.

Never tried, but I believe I will love it!

Basically, • Japanese curry: Commonly found in restaurants. • Korean curry (served at home, in schools, or in the military): Based on Japanese curry recipes but with Ottogi’s distinct flavor. • Indian curry: Still rare, but gradually becoming more popular.
For me, Ottogi curry is still the best — it’s inexpensive and tastes like childhood.

No, especially ottogi’s powder taste always so cheap. Curry queen from 청정원 is fine but not a fan compared to japanese cube curry.

Looks like Hong Kong 🇭🇰 curry and rice 🍛

Basically the same “breed” as Japanese curry, but I do think the Japanese brands do a better job than the Korean brands. Grew up in a Korean household and we made “korean curry” using Japanese brands.

It’s okay, and sometimes we’ll make it for nostalgia’s sake.

I prefer Japanese curry. I always get the cubes at Asian grocery stores and then make my own at home

The curry served at Hansot—a 도시락 (dosirak) restaurant—is delicious.

No, the balance of flavors is wrong and it is too sweet.

Never liked them. Thai/Japanese /Indian ones are better

I wouls call it Japanese curry, but it becomes perfection with Kimchi.

I have eaten it at a few of the mom and pop chains. Was decent enough. I also eat it a Juk place.

IMO The powdered Korean curry is less greasy than Japanese curry. Also, Korean curry would always have chunky ingredients in it and it would never be served as just the curry sauce as I’ve found in some Japanese dishes. My family prefers it over the Japanese version.
