Muracci's Japanese Curry & Grill

The obvious move is to just get the curry—but they have other satisfying options, too. This takeout window operation specializing in Japanese curry is another quick-hit lunch operation on Kearny Street in FiDi. The curry won’t change your life, but you won’t need it to—it’s simple, fragrant with a nice kick, and well-suited for hearty lunches on-the-fly or even an early dinner (they close at 6pm). Other options include curry with beef, fried prawns, omelet, or grilled salmon, as well as lunch sets, donburi, and a range of super satisfying curry noodle soups. And like most casual curry spots, you have a choice of heat levels, plus white or brown rice.
