Zero Two Nasi Kandar Tokyo is founded and run by a Japanese man named Tateda who visited Malaysia and fell in love with nasi kandar, according to a report by Japanese Heart.
He is said to have previously owned a south Indian restaurant in Osaka and would visit India often. However, during a trip to Malaysia, he tried the curry in nasi kandar and realised that the taste was quite different to the ones he’s had.
On the first day itself, it had to apologise for selling out. Several other posts on the restaurant’s Facebook page also indicate that it has been selling out pretty often.
At the restaurant, you’ll find wall paintings and ‘Terima Kasih’ signs, even a nasi kandar neon light at the entrance, to give it an authentic feel.
Following a similar style to nasi kandar restaurants in Malaysia, customers get to choose between white rice or nasi briyani. They can then select up to three vegetable dishes, two curries, and one main dish.
Prices are between JPY1,000 (RM36.40) and JPY1,980 (RM72). Any additional dishes are priced between JPY100 (RM3.64) and JPY550 (RM20) based on its poster.
NGL, everything looks pretty tasty. Imagine scarfing down one of these plates in cold weather… yummmm.
If you’re in Japan and would like to visit Zero Two Nasi Kandar Tokyo, it’s located near Otemachi and Chiyoda. It’s open from 11.30am to 8.30 pm daily.
