Japanese demi-glace curry specialist at Bugis Junction since 2012
Monster Curry at Bugis Junction specialises in Japanese-style curry distinguished by its rich demi-glace sauce, a departure from the sweeter, milder curries more commonly found in Japanese restaurants. Established in 2012, the chain has built its identity around generously portioned curry rice dishes topped with crispy cutlets, seafood, and other accompaniments. The demi-glace base lends a deeper, more complex flavour profile that appeals to diners seeking a heartier curry experience. Monster portions are a signature feature, with meal sizes that challenge even ambitious appetites. The Bugis Junction outlet occupies a convenient spot in the basement, drawing shoppers, students, and families from the surrounding Bugis district. The menu at Monster Curry offers a range of customisation options, allowing diners to choose their protein, spice level, and portion size. Fried chicken katsu, pork katsu, and ebi fry are among the most popular toppings, while the spice scale runs from mild to volcanic, catering to all heat preferences. Side dishes such as potato croquettes and sausages add variety to the offerings. The restaurant also runs promotions and set deals that provide good value, particularly during weekday lunch hours. The casual, no-frills interior prioritises function over atmosphere, keeping the focus squarely on the food. Monster Curry has carved out a niche for itself in Singapore's competitive Japanese dining scene by offering something distinct from the standard curry house formula. The demi-glace approach, combined with the emphasis on large portions, appeals to diners looking for a filling and flavourful meal at a fair price. For visitors to Bugis Junction who want Japanese comfort food with a bolder edge, Monster Curry is a satisfying and straightforward choice that has stood the test of time since its founding.

Good Japanese curry experience in Singapore. Spicy options for the curry are highly recommended, and each heart is one serving of spiciness. Tonkatsu is fantastic, and the chain covers all essentials of curry prep. The only drawback is the price, but it's worth a small splurge.
Lim Geok Huan
I would recommend this place. Service was above average, the meal came within 3 minutes and was well plated, and the food tasted really good. Atmosphere-wise, I liked the vibe and the colourway of the interior, but it looked slightly minimalistic. ...
Ahmad Yunus
Love this curry, it's tasty and you really need to watch out for the spice level — they are really serious about it. Will come back for sure. Mom and Dad love it too. They serve big portions; we ordered two servings for 4 of us 😍😊, chicken and beef, and the takoyaki was really nice. ...
Leong Wai Kit
That was good. Food was served fast, spiciness level was on point. Maybe I shall try their level 5 spicy 🌶️ in the future. ...
Low Jun Feng
Had pork katsu curry rice for lunch — big portion and quite nice. Adding the omelette is worth it. Only thing, the iced lemon tea tasted a bit weird.
