Taste the World at BKC Lunch: The Allure of Asian Cuisine and Spice Curry

One of the greatest appeals of BKC Lunch is the opportunity to enjoy exotic dishes that make you feel like you're traveling. In particular, our BKC Asian Cuisine and Kusatsu Spice Curry are special lineups that have received high praise from many of our customers. We invite you to savor authentic flavors that are hard to come by in your everyday dining.

An Exotic Atmosphere with Authentic Asian Cuisine

Our proud Asian cuisine corner features a diverse menu that pursues authentic, traditional flavors. Dishes served in a BKC Iron Pot are especially notable for their fragrant aroma and for being served piping hot.

With seasonal Asian noodle dishes and stir-fries rich in local spices, there's always something new to discover.

  • Thai-style Green Curry: An exquisite balance of creamy coconut milk and the kick of green chili peppers, characterized by its deep aroma.
  • Vietnamese-style Pho: A healthy dish with a light, clear broth and smooth noodles. Add herbs and lime to your liking.
  • Chinese-style Ankake Yakisoba: A satisfying dish of crispy fried noodles covered in a thick, savory sauce full of ingredients.

The Temptation of Spice Curry in Kusatsu

Our curry, simmered slowly with a unique blend of multiple spices, is aromatic and has a deep, complex flavor. You can also choose the spice level, so whether you're a fan of spicy food or not, you can find the perfect taste for you.

Our spice curry is more than just hot; the aromas and flavors of the spices intertwine complexly, leaving a refreshing aftertaste. We also offer a rich variety of daily curries and toppings, allowing you to create your own original curry. We invite you to open a new door of taste with this authentic spice curry.
