Go Go...to GoGo Curry?

I've been making my way through Time Out New York's 2007 cheap list. One of the small spots they recommend is GoGo Curry in the garment district. I stopped by the other night and I was less than impressed. Sure, the portions are generous and the prices are right but it felt like a fast food joint for burly Japanese men.

I tried the basic chicken curry which turned out to be a heap of white rice topped with a breaded fried piece of chicken and a brown curry sauce. The sauce tasted more like beefy curry gravy and it became increasingly gelatinous as it cooled. But for $7.00, it was filling and tasted more interesting than typical fast food.

GoGo Curry has a strange gorilla/baseball theme. Portions are baseball plays: A small curry is a walk, then comes the single, double and finally triple (which, as you can imagine, is enormous). The gorilla mascot looms at the top of the neon menu which organizes dishes by main ingredient. Choices include chicken, shrimp and sausage with a variety of additional toppings like egg and cabbage. If beefy curry sounds like your thing you won't be disappointed.

Bottom Line: Hearty curry dishes that won't break the bank
