Deli Mama

Tried this place for the first time. Went there on someone's recommendation. Large portion is generous. There is a small seating area, which is adequate for sitting down to eat lunch. View from the seated area does stare straight and a very badly painted windowsills. However my katsu curry was really rather good and I'd say it was as good as Wagamamas. I got offered a choice of several rice and noodle options to go with my currym service was pretty quick too. My only criticism of the place was my portion was so big it was spilling out the side of the carton. You should also be aware that the seating is all in one line, so no private table.

This place becomes incredibly busy at lunchtime but the staff serve everybody with lightning speed. The pumpkin katsu curry is the best pumpkin katsu I have ever tasted, it's very filling and leaves room for nothing else. It's a great place to go to on a Friday although there is lift limited room inside to sit down. This place has great vegetarian and vegan options.

On the odd occasions when work isn't agreeing with me or I have had a rough morning I tend to lunch at Deli Mama's - perfect comfort food joint. What's weird is whenever I am off exploring beyond this place am always surprised at the queues here. It's as if there is no where else in Monument to eat lunch aside from here. Bizarre because I don't think the food is all that. Yes it's yummy - beef bulgogi or chicken teriyaki, it has a homely feel with the brown rice and the sweet women in the counter smiling constantly (it's strange how they keep that up so consistently?!) People of Monument -there are other places to eat in the area !! I also caution if you have immediate post lunch meetings maybe don't order a regular size as it tends to send you to sleep straight after ! A small is decent enough !
