Why go
A Tabelog Curry 100 regular since 2022, Hot Spoon serves flour-free curry under JPY 1,000 in a 14-seat walk-in near Gotanda Station. The beef tendon and chicken versions both rely on long-simmered broths and spice blends rather than roux, making them lighter and takeout-friendly. Open daily 11 AM–11 PM, cash or EDY only, expect short waits during lunch and early dinner.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Hot Spoon Gotanda ten presents itself as an informal izakaya-style curry spot that focuses on straightforward, comforting food. The kitchen highlights a beef tendon curry built on a broth of carrots, onions and chicken, signaling a homey, unfussy approach rather than flashy spice-forward techniques. The listing specifies a no-smoking policy, which keeps the atmosphere clean and approachable. Overall, the tone is casual and practical: a neighborhood eatery where the emphasis is on hearty bowls of curry and steady, unpretentious service rather than design flourishes or fine-dining formality.
Best For
This venue is most appropriate for relaxed lunches and dinners when you want a filling, unfussy meal. The izakaya designation and the focus on a signature beef tendon curry make it a good pick for after-work diners looking for comforting food in an informal setting. It also suits solo diners or small groups seeking straightforward Japanese-style tavern fare rather than a long, multi-course experience. The no-smoking policy makes it a comfortable option for guests who prefer a smoke-free environment while enjoying a casual meal.
Ordering Tips
Order the beef tendon curry to experience the restaurant’s central dish: the listing emphasizes a flavorful broth made from carrots, onions and chicken. The description also notes the curry is prepared without a 21-spice mix or the use of flour, so expect a broth-driven, possibly lighter-textured curry compared with roux-based versions. Because the venue is listed on Tabelog, consult user photos and reviews there for portion size and spice level impressions before you go. Note the non-smoking policy when planning a group that includes smokers.

Restaurant context
Hot Spoon sits at the budget end of Gotanda's dining spectrum, priced under JPY 1,000 compared to Sumibi Yakiniku Horumon Maruha (JPY 8,000–JPY 9,999) and Nichinan (JPY 6,000–JPY 7,999), both of which require advance booking and deliver grilled-meat experiences. Grill F offers Western-style lunch at JPY 1,000–JPY 1,999 with slightly more polish, but Hot Spoon's Tabelog 100 recognition and faster turnover make it the better choice for a quick, quality meal. Oniyanma Gotanda honten matches the price and walk-in format with udon, so the decision comes down to whether you prefer noodles or curry.
For curry specifically, Hot Spoon's flour-free, broth-forward approach appeals to diners seeking lighter, spice-focused flavors over the thicker, gravy-style Japanese curry common at chain shops. If you want a sit-down meal with more space, Grill F or Nichinan are better bets. If you're prioritizing value, speed, Tabelog credibility, Hot Spoon delivers, just time your visit outside peak lunch and dinner hours to avoid the queue.
