    I am disappointed I come here to try the curry hyuga , I have the beef favor it was ok. bread was greasy and dry. we also have the ube melon pan. Very dry and too sweet for me

    They open at 9:30am on weekends which is great if you're looking for a place to grab a quick snack in Japantown. Service is friendly. Limited seating. Recommend going early as it gets fairly busy from noon to 3pm. Hokkaido Double Cream Pan: I was expecting the bread to be a bit more fluffy but it was okay. 6.5/10. It was good to try! I wouldn't get it again though. Bacon Mozzarella Polish: This was delicious and perfect for a quick breakfast! 8/10. Would get again! Next time I'd probably try the chicken empanada. It looks like a favorite.

    Go just for this dessert! Crunchy on the outside and soft screams on the inside. Perfect for sharing. Fun spot in the center of Japan Town, Ess Eff. #spicemeister approved.

    Beef Curry Pan
    Michelle Z.

    Got the beef curry pan which seems to be one of their more popular options. I appreciated how they asked if I wanted it warmed up! The outside of the bread was tasty but I felt like the curry was too salty and the "beef" was indiscernible. It might as well have been veggie curry. Overall pretty good though and satisfied my hunger. Their pastry offerings looked pretty good as well. Service is extremely quick.

    Passed by Andersen Bakery inside the Japantown malls and couldn't resist -- the pastries looked way too good to pass up! They recently launched a collab pastry with Curry Hyuga, a popular Japanese curry spot in the Bay, featuring the Curry Pan. Beef Curry Pan -- perfectly crisp and golden exterior with a warm, gooey filling of rich Japanese curry, packed with onions, carrots, and celery. Deep umami flavor and super satisfying bite. The line was short, and service was friendly and quick -- they even offered to heat up our curry pan! Everything behind the display looked freshly baked and ready to go. There's some seating inside & outside the shop as well making a pleasant lively ambience for eating your pastries. Definitely planning to come back for the cream cheese raspberry pastry or Japanese milk bread next time.

    Vegetarian - veggie curry pan. I fell into the hype - glad I tried. Wouldn't order again

    *** Vegetarian Review *** Location: A+ Japantown is a must stop Service: A+ Super friendly But the two items I tried were not something I'd pay for parking to get. Veggie Curry Pan ($4.50, Grade C) - They ask at the time if you want it hot or cold. But if you're not taking this to go, definitely have them heat it up. It's a lightly panko crusted bread filled with "custom curry Hyuga veggies." I had to look up what "Hyuga" and discovered it is a highly rated curry shop in bay area. I will say that the curry was good and I'd even say if I were at the Hyuga restaurant and had this was a bowl of white rice, I would like it a lot more. So the culprit was the bread. Although it was warmed, it was very dry. Not quite concha dry, but somewhere between a 2 day old Costco croissant and a fresh concha. Ube Pan (Grade C): I enjoyed the texture and taste of the filling very much, but the bread texture/dryness was similar to what I described above. So, bottom line. If the custom curry Hyuga and ube filling were stuffed inside one of the breads from 85-Degree Bakery (like their choco bun which is delicious), I would rate the two items much higher.

    We got a chocolate chip cookie, raspberry and cream cheese danish and a vanilla iced latte. It was reasonably priced, delicious and the service was fast and friendly. The chocolate chip cookie is underrated and could be on my list of top 5 ever. Not sure I want that information to get out there but I had to tell the world.

    Beef Curry Pan
    Angela K.

    The service is really great and the woman working behind the counter was very accommodating. She let us have samples and even gave us a full size beef curry pan. It was heated perfectly, crunchy on the outside but soft and chewy beef on the inside. I'd give it a 3.5/5. I got the egg salad sandwich for less than $8 and I'd give it a solid 4/5. They have seats inside and outside. It's inside the Japantown mall so there's plenty of seating around.

    Our go to place for coffee and some pan when we're in J-town up here in San Francisco. Tried the Hokkaido bread with matcha along with my iced americano. Nice friendly staff that handles their all day rush with a smile. This location is inside a shopping center so you can window shop while you enjoy your snack.

    Inside
    Rose T.

    Located on the 1st floor of the Japan Center West Mall, this outpost of the Bay Area based Japanese bakery chain serves up a variety of drinks, lunch items, and pastries. I was in the mood for a savory snack while walking around Japantown, so I decided to try the Japanese Beef Curry Pan ($4.15): According to its website, this is #4 best seller but I thought it was mid. +Hot and crispy -Inside of bread was dry: Could be d/t fact it was kept in a warmer. -Filled with a small amount of salty curry -Very greasy on the outside Side notes: 1.) Self-serve hand sanitizer and napkins 2.) Tables available inside and around the mall 2.) Walking distance from MUNI 38/38R bus stop *Verdict: 2.5 stars rounded up to 3 d/t service. The cashier offered me a hot one from the warmer vs. the cold ones lying out. Service was friendly and efficient, and tables and chairs were clean.

    Breads are fresh and yummy, staff is friendly, happy for my purchase today, that is my to go list if go to Japantown

    Tiramisu
    Jimmy C.

    Every time I come to J-town, I think about taking a break from going to the same places like Maruwu Seicha and Matcha Café Maiko. But, I couldn't stop having any matcha drinks every time I see the word "matcha" on the menu. Even some of the pastries from Anderson Bakery have the same honorable flavor. I almost couldn't decide which pastry I go for, and some of the specials were sold out, including the the curry pan. That's fine as long as I needed a quick refreshment before exploring further and head home.

    Tiramisu
    Diego B.

    Simple spot, they have a huge selection of pastries and some cakes and desserts. Everything looks good, but I have only tried their Tiramisu. And it was good! They also have tables in the corner of the establishment, which helps with finding a place to eat at!

    Andersen is OK, but Japan Town has fallen from grace. Hardly a Japanese person there. Behind the counter in front of it. Sad.

You start in the back toward the center to place your order, then move to line up on the left side to pick it up and add toppings to hot sandwiches. After that, you bring everything to the front to pay. Quite few people, us included, were a little unsure where to go next. The sandwiches made up for it. I got the tri tip special with garlic butter and swapped the Swiss for pepperjack. The meat was sliced thin and really tender, and the garlic butter a perfect addition. I'm not usually big on sauces, but they have a good variety of house options if that's your thing. We'll definitely be back. I was also happy to see they have another location in San Bruno.

I got the breakfast sandwich which was delicious, and my friend ordered the turkey sandwich which they also loved. One thing to note is that they don't allow substitutions or modifications, so just be aware of that going in. It's more of a deli/grocery-style spot, so there isn't much seating, just a few tables and chairs outside. But it's super close to Dolores Park, so we usually just grab our sandwiches and head there to eat. The chocolate chip cookie was also a standout. It's more of a brown butter, dark chocolate situation, rich but really well balanced, and the perfect sweet treat after the sandwich.
