Thoughts: Two new Japanese restaurant within the last 3 months in USJ10:
Mochisaru Japanese Food Express @ USJ 10/1G (opened 2-3 months ago)
Sushi Toyo @ USJ 10/1J (opened last month)
Next to 優美區しゃぶしゃぶ Yosen Shabu Shabu, the new Mochisaru offers limited tables for Dine-in, the shop is designed mostly for Delivery (Call +6010-276 3187) which will be free delivery for USJ folks (likely with a minimum order condition). Besides 蓋飯 Donburi, 烏冬麵 Udon and 沙拉碗 Salad bowls, a variety of snacks are available including some choices of 關東煮 Oden, 烤/油炸小吃 Grilled & Fried snacks (like Gyoza, Takoyaki or Chicken Katsu) and even 日式刨冰 Kakigori (Japanese shaved ice). 
Dinner tonight is a rm$15.90 "日本咖哩炸雞排蓋飯 Curry Chicken Katsu Don", a thick curry with a stew-like consistency and commonly includes a protein, sweet onions, carrots, and potatoes along with generous strips of 日式炸雞排 Chicken Katsu plus on the side salads with 生菜 lettuce, 黃瓜 cucumber, and 番茄 tomato topped with salad seasoning. 
For the Salad Bowl or Donburi, customer can also choose between Snacks + Drink Add-ons from rm$3.90 to rm$10.90 (章魚燒 Takoyaki, 日本餃子 Gyoza, 蔬菜可樂餅 Yasai Croquette, or Edamame & Miso Soup). My Add-on was rm$3.90 with 毛豆 Edamame, 味噌湯 Miso Soup, and a can drink of 烏龍茶 Oolong Tea. 
The restaurant is operated by just one person who is taking the order and managing the delivery pickups, while the kitchen is somewhere in the 2nd floor of another shop lot; all food is delivered by the kitchen helper and mostly comes in disposal containers!  
Contrary to what many people think about Japanese cuisine, the 日本咖哩 Japanese curry is a ubiquitous feature of life for all Japanese people and more common in Japan than we can imagine; AND some would even go as far to say that the Japanese curry could even be considered a national Japanese dish! I had my first taste of Japanese curry 35 years ago while working in Yamagata Japan, where the Factory Canteen offers the Vegetarian sweet Japanese curry rice with potato and carrots; both tasty and appetizing! 
The "Japanese curry" as the name suggests, are not actually from Japan. Legend has it that during the 明治時期 Meiji period, 英國水手 British sailors (whom were once stationed in India) were shipwrecked off the Japanese coast were rescued and came ashore with their rations, which included 咖哩粉 curry powder. The 英國海軍 British navy had themselves recently adopted curry as a hearty meal for its sailors during the long voyages at sea. The navy also added vegetables and meat, and made its curry thicker than the kinds they found in India. The 日本海軍 Japanese navy at that time was in search of a way to feed Japanese sailors and needed a cheap, filling option that could be cooked and served with ease. And so the first Japanese curry recipe was born.
