i have loved the curry here for the past 10 years. unfortunately, the service has deteriorated to the point where even i can't stand it. i will go back only if i have a strong enough craving to last through half-hour water refills and lukewarm rice.

the curry itself deserves four stars.

You're missing the point. I'm not saying that all curry should follow some arbitrary guideline, I'm saying that: 1) On the Bridge's attempt at "fusion" has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer to the face, 2) They should offer standard curry for those who want it, and 3) A restaurant's menu should be fully forthcoming about what you will be served; there should never be a surprise like this.

actually the egg and tomato and cheese are delicious

this review must have been written by a caucasian who thinks they have curry figured out.

in japan your curry should stand out.
in the us on the bridge is unique and delicious, try something new instead of mcdolands or coco curry every day.

most japanese dont like same taste all the time

You know, it's not as if I have anything against eggs. Or even Parmesan cheese, if that's what somebody wants on their curry. Or any topping. What I object to is the fact that it gets served to you without any warning. The egg and tomatoes don't affect the flavor, but the Parmesan does. It's an indulgent, ham-fisted attempt at "fusion" marketing that makes the food unique, but worse.

Oops haha, I edited out delicious by accident, hurr. Let's think of something else constructive to say...

Oh, little tomato pieces shouldn't change the flavor too much since awesome curry should have tomato sauce in it. The thing I don't like about fresh tomato is that it can sometimes make things watery.

On the Bridge is soooo tasty. Their shrimp curry is so tasty. I think it has spinach, too? (which I've had in Japan, as well...)

I prefer hard boiled to fried on my curry. What do you have against eggs? ;p

Just saw your website today. As it so happened, I was in SF last week and ate at On the Bridge twice. The curry pizza with mushrooms and cheese is delicious, so is the curry rice with the potato croquette.

The reason why OTB is the great is because they specialize in spicy curry. I eat spicy food all the time and nothing in the city makes me sweat like OTB's 3x curry.

On the back of the menu, you will notice that they offer 1x, 2x, and 3x degrees of spiciness for the curry for a little bit more change.

If you like spicy food, you will be challenged. 3x will make you break out in a mad sweat like you just ran a marathon. You might think that this is the kind of spicy you find on a bottle of gimmick hot sauce but that's not the case with OTB. The flavor is great and the heat goes away leaving you wanting for more. Just make sure you ask for a pitcher of water.

If you can handle the heat, go and order it 2x and move up from there. You won't be disappointed!
