Looks like Vegas is about to land its first Japanese curry joint. Kaba Curry plans to open in September on Charleston Boulevard, bringing curry with rice, udon and pan, a first for the city.
Anthony Nicholson from Southern California, Maki Mikami from Northern Japan and TNES from Oahu, Hawaii, are working together to launch the space, using Kickstarter to raise $4,000 to get the restaurant opened. So far, $375 has been raised.
The trio says they have been trying to land a food truck or a trailer for the past four months to no avail, but now they have a small space complete with a kitchen. They’re raising money on Kickstarter for a logo, takeout utensils and supplies, a printer, a cash register and a custom vinyl wrapping. Donators can get stickers, buttons, exclusive T-shirts and a “buttload of freeeee food!”
Kaba, for the curious, means hippo in Japanese.
