Asian Dining Agan

Reviewed By lilandra_31

I came to Asian Dining Agan on a Saturday with a large group of friends. The staff was very nice and accommodating and the atmosphere was casual, but good. However, for a Saturday night, only about half of its tables were occupied.Mostly of us order some kind curry and naan. I ordered the Simple Dinner Set, which consisted of a small salad, Vietnamese spring rolls, Chicken Curry, and Naan. The price was about 1200 yen, which is not bad for dinner.To be honest, I wasn't expecting much. Not a good sign for there to be Vietnamese spring rolls and yakisoba on the menu that is otherwise Indian Curry. Also another small red flag was that the default curry for my meal set was Chicken Curry. I'm not sure what that refers to, as most other curry places will have something more specific, like Butter Chicken as the default.I'm not so savvy when it comes in indian food. In fact before coming to Japan, I can barely remember going to an indian places, but having lived in Tokyo for two years before moving to Shimane, I was having curry almost once a week.Starting in the order that food was served to me, the salad was pretty standard, so not much to say here. Then, I got the spring rolls. Why is this on the set menu? Strange but I actually love spring rolls so I was just gonna roll with it. The spring roll was probably 60% rice noodles, which overpowered what could otherwise have been flavourful meat and shrimp (we will never know...). However, it was served with a spicy sweet and sour sauce that was quite tasty!Next I received the naan, which was brought to me in a large basket. Texture was good, definitely fresh, but the naan had a slightly sweet aftertaste, which I've experienced not a small portion of indian places. I tend to not like this extra sweetness. I received my curry last, not too much later than the naan. The curry had two chunks of chicken, and like the naan, was a bit on the sweet side. The consistency was thick, but not creamy. It had very light flavour, and towards the end, started to taste a bit carroty to me. I don't know if it had a bunch of carrots in it, or if it was just the extra hints of sweet.All in the all, the food here is not great. It would't satisfy my curry cravings, although the staff and owner of this place are all very nice, and endless naan refills are always great.Sorry but I probably wouldn't come here again... I would rather buy a curry packet from the grocery store.

お世辞にもきれいとはいえない店だが、けっこうカップルが多い。それも、若いカップルから初老の夫婦までだ。なぜ、カップルでも賑わっているかといえば、うまいからだ。熱々の中華は、何を食べてもうまい。しかも、量はたっぷりだ。どの料理も野菜が多いから、これまた女性のツボを突いているのではないか。店内は狭い、14時まえでも、待ち客ができることもある。

歓楽街の伊勢宮にある隠れ家的なお店。このお店の名物は巨大な餃子なのだが、ラーメンもおいしいのでぜひ味わってみて欲しい。ラーメン不毛の地と言われる山陰にあって、独特の薄味スープラーメンはおいしく貴重なお店だと思う。値段はぜんぜん高くない。店内は広くはないが、テーブル席、カウンター席がある。伊勢宮で飲んだ後に立ち寄るのもお勧め。
