About
Positioned on one of Sydney's most eclectic dining strips, the Newtown branch of Ken-Chan Curry brings the same Japanese curry house format to the Inner West. King Street diners accustomed to global flavours have embraced Ken-chan's recipe-driven katsu curry — golden-fried pork or chicken cutlets in a deep, spiced Japanese curry sauce. The Jiro-style ramen offers an equally satisfying alternative for noodle seekers. Open daily, it fills a gap on a street that was long under-served for serious Japanese casual dining.
