New York Sun says
"This sauce is spectacular"

It's hard to say who's really eager to eat an appetizer that looks straight out of "Bodies — The Exhibition," but, in any event, these balls were definitely the low point at the Javits Center show. Happily, a lot more high points abounded. Fad-starved Zagatniks, fear not: Some great new food is winging its way to New York, especially from Japan.
"It's no. 1 curry shop in Japan," chef Kenny Kaneko said of his enterprise, GoGo Curry. In Japanese, GoGo means 55, which just happens to be Yankee outfielder Hideki Matsui's number.
When the first GoGo opens up on Eighth Avenue and 38th Street in the next month or so, the one and only food it will sell is bowls of rice smothered in thick, dark brown sauce that looks just like the glop that used to glisten atop your parents' plates of egg foo young.

The difference is: This sauce is spectacular. It tastes like a cross between curry, teriyaki, and the pan drippings from boeuf bourguignon. The savory mound is then topped with a helping of meat, chicken, shrimp, sausage, or egg, and will sell for five or six well-spent bucks (or 600 yen, if you have it).

GRUB STREET
"Just In: Curry Craziness in Midtown"

Reports from the scene of the newly opened Go!Go! Curry indicate that lines for the first branch of the Japanese takeout joint are at lengths unseen since the days of Beard Papa's opening. "Over 40 people in line," said one curry craver about half an hour ago. "I had to get lunch elsewhere." We just called the restaurant to discover the line is still down the block. "Maybe you will wait 30 minutes," we were told. Is it worth it? Well, it's true that servings of curry over rice (with your choice of shrimp, chicken, pork, etc.)
