My first time and experience here was Saturday. It is too small of a place for how good it is. But on the flip side, it's so good that it's worth the wait. We showed up with a party of 10 and they got us sat in roughly 20 minutes which I think was a fair amount of time for a Saturday 1:00pm time frame. Staff were all friendly and attentive. I got the pork cutlet omelet with cheese and spice level 7. My goodness, I inhaled that dish. We were coming up to fortworth for a thing and drove with some friends an extra 45 minutes in the opposite direction just to have this a second time on Sunday. Needless to say, I am a huge fan and will probably be driving out from San Antonio soon just for lunch here. read more

On the way back from a road trip to Paris, (sadly not the one with croissants, we are talking Paris Texas), we stopped in Frisco for an early dinner and found a winner. I came across this spot on Yelp where the reviews were glowing, though I will say the menu is a little confusing.... That holds true in person too, but thankfully there are photos to guide you, which helps a lot. Also worth noting, they offer 20 (twenty!!!) levels of spiciness, which feels both exciting and pretty intimidating. I went with the pork katsu curry with rice. The omelet dishes looked amazing too and I was tempted, but crispy curry & rice won the day. I told the waiter I wanted medium spice and said 5, and the server smiled and said he would give me a level 1. I laughed, but he knew exactly what he was doing because even level 1 had a solid kick. My hubby ordered the same dish with chicken and added veggies (and cheese(. He decided to be bold and went with a level 2. Honestly, mine might have even tasted spicier, but at that point it is all relative. We arrived around 4:45pm on a Saturday and it was easy to get seated. By the time we left, the place was completely packed and there was a line forming, which tells you everything you need to know. The pork was perfectly crispy, the rice had that ideal sticky texture, and the curry sauce was rich and generous. Every bite hit the spot. read more

We were soooo happy to hear that there was one of these only 30 minutes away from us !! We went all the time when we lived in San Diego. Even if I'm on a diet and the family wants CoCo I know I could enjoy their salads. My husband and oldest ALWAYS gets a huge mug of Thai Ice Tea. They absolutely love it, to me it's not sweet enough but my husband says that's how it's supposed to be. read more

Back in this place again. No wait today which was perfect because I was starving. I went with chicken cutlet with egg omelet and cheese. Need the extra protein. It was so good. And my spice level is only regular. I might get brave and try level 1 on my next visit. Lol. Customer service was spectacular per usual and dining in is great for girls day out or dine in with family. There's also a bar like seating area next to the kitchen if you're rolling solo. Bring a jacket, it's cold inside. read more

First time trying CoCos.... In Texas lol I've been here 1 million times, from Japan to Taiwan, Hawaii to Korea, LA and more. It (just my opinion), is my favorite restaurant on earth.

Had an opportunity to come to Dallas for training and planned my trip around how many times I could eat here. Tastes just like Japan, Thailand, and the ones on the west coast. Still waiting for the gem to come to Florida. Good Japanese style curry. read more

This curry house is top notch. My family came on christmas eve for an early dinner and we were able to be sat quickly as one big table (we got on the waitlist on yelp before arriving). The server was kind and even helped with explaining the spiciness of their curry scale. My husband got a level 8 (VERY hot!!) but i got a comfortable level 2 (you can taste the spice but not so much that my nose would run). The chicken was crispy on the outside, and the curry was delicious. They offer chopsticks and forks/spoons, and the restaurant was clean. As someone who ate Coco's in Japan growing up, I can confirm this place knows how to make great curry! It's a must for all in the dallas area read more

Comfort food that you need to try!!! We got the udon and omlette curry with a chicken cutlet. The chicken was CRISPY and not oily at all and the curry was rich with flavor. The udon noodles were nice and chewy and paired well with the curry. I would say their service was pretty efficient and the inside was very clean. Oh also their spice levels range from 1-20. I got a 5 and as someone that likes spice but can't handle anything too crazy that was the perfect level - that was equivalent to a thai spice 3.5/5. We got the other one with level 8 which was indeed spicy but I think if you're someone with a high tolerance you'd be okay with it - that was a 4.5/5 on a thai spice level. read more

Regular but finding portions getting more and more inconsistent, paying $0.50 for small rice doesn't mean everything is child size, last time paper thin pork hard to chew and now paper chicken just as dry as paper! What's going on? Two stars for old times but damage is done. Please consider weighting food to ensure consistency. Wait! This happened before lol see the takeout photo. The new photo is showing paper fried with rice for about $19, would you pay for that? Would you eat this? read more

Oh my goodness, i have been awaiting my visit to Dallas for the holidays solely on visiting the ONLY coco ichibanya in Texas. This place is cozy and has only seating for about 60 people, when we started driving, i added ourselves to the Yelp waitlist which did help but they're always busy and for good reason of a wait time so get yourself smart so you don't have to wait once you get there and stand around with your party. The food is mainly Japanese curry, which is what they are known for, the abundant selection in protein, add ons, and spice level was great, especially looking at the fun kids plates and the staff greeting us warmly, with kids getting little gatcha toys for a fun little prize. I absolutely loved my chicken katsu cutlet and added veggies and husband got the curry omelette with rice, our little dude got the kids meal A with mac and cheese and fries and nugget and barely touched his curry. He did say it was tasty after one bite but has a picky Americanized pallet lol. Looking forward to our next visit because this place lives on my mind rent free now and im still drooling. :) read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants for Japanese curry and it is a tad far but it's worth it. In CA there is one in Irvine that I frequent often. My go-to is their garlic cheese bread and their chicken cutlet with veggies. 5/5 It's so delicious and the consistency of their food is spot on and hasn't disappointed me. Their chicken is cooked to perfection, and their curry is what makes everything taste so amazingly delicious. Thankfully I had leftovers and my fiancée ordered food to have for tomorrow. I finished the test of my leftovers about 3 hours after dining at their restaurant. It even tastes good reheated and we all know that not about of food tastes good or as delicious as effective you had it freshly made. I dipped some of the garlic cheese Nan bread into my curry sauce and it tasted great. 5/5 Their Thai tea is usually good. 4/5 The times I've been to this spot the staff has always been welcoming, friendly, and attentive. They all work together and help to ensure their customers are being taken care of. The ambience is very welcoming and mellow but can get loud with all the tables being occupied. I highly recommend it, especially if you've never been to a Coco Ichibanya. read more

Great food and great service overall. However, we did experience a concerning issue. My wife found a piece of plastic in the keema cheese fries and had already chewed it before noticing. We immediately informed the manager, and the dish was replaced with multiple apologies, which we appreciated. What was disappointing, though, was being told that it "wasn't plastic," despite what we clearly saw and felt. We were also told the restaurant has cameras and could review them. We hope they take this seriously and double‑check their food preparation process to prevent this from happening again. Food safety should always be a top priority. Hi Michael, Thank you for responding. I want to clarify a few points because my review was never written out of a "grudge." It was a one‑star review because a foreign object -- which looked and felt like plastic -- was found in our food and was already chewed before we realized it. That is a serious food‑contamination issue that can pose health risks. In your reply, you stated that you "never said it was not plastic" and that your kitchen "does not use plastic." However, during our conversation at the restaurant, we were clearly told that it wasn't plastic and that plastic is not used in the kitchen. That contradiction is exactly why the situation felt dismissive. When a customer finds something foreign in their food, the priority should be acknowledging the concern and investigating it -- not insisting what it is or isn't before checking. My review reflects the experience we had and the importance of preventing foreign objects from entering food. This is not about harming your business, it is about food safety and customer health. Any responsible customer would speak up after such an incident. I hope this feedback is taken constructively. We want local businesses to succeed, but food safety and honest communication must always come first. read more

I love Cocoa Curry. The food is excellent, and the staff are incredibly kind, always going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. One suggestion I have is to bring back the divided trays that included a separate section for the Japanese pickles. They previously offered these trays, and they are also commonly used in Japan for takeout orders. I think their return would make the experience even better, especially since I often order food to go. read more

Went here today for lunch I cannot stress enough if I could I'd give them 100 stars. The restaurant is super clean. The personnel are the nicest and most thorough I've seen anywhere! The manager checked on us at the end of our meal and was very pleasant. All the waiters made sure our water glasses were never empty and answered any questions. My grandson and his friend got chicken curry with scrambled egg on top, they got a pretty hefty heat level. I got vegetable curry (mild) with scrambled egg, theirs and mine was delicious. The curry sauce is fantastic. We shared the best garlic naan, yummy!! We also shared keema cheese fries, which are a meal in themselves! It was the best food eaten out that I've ever had! I hope you try it, you'll be so happy you did! read more

I cannot believe my favorite restaurant did me wrong today. Walked they were very helpful and accommodating with us since we had our one year old that was getting hangry, but it all went downhill when they sat us. Did not get a menu, just got our drinks, and didn't see anyone else. People kept coming in and they were taking their oders but us... kept waiting and my child was getting more fussy. Decided to just pay for our drinks. Which they happily charged us for. Told them no one had taken out order or given us menus even though people that were walking in were getting taken care of. My favorite place that I always came to... drove two hours just to come eat here. Just got a sorry. read more

My family and I used to go to CoCo's when we lived in Okinawa, Japan. So it felt right to eat dinner here with my family that live in DFW. I got the Pork Katsu Curry at a level 5 heat. As someone who loves spicy food, this felt like a really good heat level because the dish itself is VERY hot and fresh. The service is so nice and attentive. They asked us which heat level we ordered our food and made little conversation here and there. I would absolutely recommend. I'm so happy to have a childhood restaurant in my area. read more

Oh my word!! Sunday after church, some friends invited us to lunch. I am so grateful that they LOVE us like they do, because I would have never known this place exists! Coco Ichibanya is a popular Japanese Curry House chain that has made its way to the U.S. Everything is beautifully laid out, with warm honey toned wood furnishings.There's even a window that allows you to watch the magic take place! The staff were young and vibrant. Eager to answer questions and get your experience rolling! Specializing in Japanese style curry rice, Coco offers all things curry. With over 40 options of curry, chicken(cutlet, stewed, fried, teriyaki) beef, pork, seafood, vegetable, Omelets, the list goes on and on. 20 different spice levels, Udon, there is literally something for everybody! I had the Keema Omelet. Sweet, spicy(I got a level 2, since I was new to the game) curry, with vegetables and minced chicken and rice covered with a tornado egg omelet. It was absolute BLISS! The flavors were so well balanced and the portion size was just right! Piping hot, you couldn't ask for a better curry. Aundre-Chan had the traditional Chicken Cutlet and wiped the plate CLEAN!! BABY, we talked about this curry for the rest of the day! It was that good! Michael and Diana, THANK YOU for bringing Coco Ichibanya into our lives! Go early, the waiting list gets long quick! Check It Out! read more

Solid place for lunch. I've visited frequently with my colleagues from work and even brought my family here. Here's what I get: - I usually get the chicken cutlets omelet curry but replace the chicken cutlet with spicy teriyaki fried chicken. Spice level 4. Usually pretty spicy. Not as spicy today though. - Garlic naan with cheese Service is usually quick. Would highly recommend getting on the list on Yelp beforehand because it's a relatively small place with limited number of seating. read more

I recommend this place- the curry plates are delicious! Just check how busy the place is before you arrive on peak hours. The staff is A+

The restaurant was open under this severe weather and the store manager was super nice.

I would recommend this place for Japanese curry! The menu has many different options. I got the vegetable and chicken cutlet curry and you can choose the curry spice level. The vegetables and rice go very well with the curry, and they give good portions! The staff was very friendly, and the service was quick. I also loved the interior and environment of the restaurant. read more

I stop by here pretty often for a chicken omelet curry. Seating is typically plentiful and service is quick. Initially a bit overhyped but that has since died down.

I love Japanese curry so I was pretty excited to find this place. Sadly I was disappointed by the limited and weird menu (naan at a Japanese place?) and what I feel are higher prices. The omelette curry only comes with curry, rice and omelette, egg only, no fillers. You can add a protein and extra toppings at added cost. The curry & food was not bad. I ordered takeout/delivery so can't speak towards their service and ambiance. Japanese what got so knocking them to 3 stars for that. If you have a hankering for curry and are ok with the somewhat higher prices this is not a bad spot. Edited Review notes: The management response to my initial review is correct in that delivery is different from takeout and I neglected to consider that they up the prices. So I removed all references to specific prices. That said I still feel it's overpriced for what I got and the menu is basic for my personal tastes. I understand it's a chain so that's their thing which is fair, just not for me :) read more

Food was good. Love the options for kids meal. The wait was over an hour. There were tables available but after us was a party of 12 they were trying to seat so they held off on those tables which made our wait longer: we could have been seated, eaten and left in the amount of time they were "saving" the open tables for. No way to eat gluten and dairy free. They don't say you can, but there were no options. This last visit was our 2nd time eating at Cocos. They used the same excuse when asking if they had certain menu options. "I'm working on a menu change" the first visit was 18 month ago, same response when asking. (My son lived in Iwakuni for 3 years so he's wanting a similar experience) In response to owners reply, menu changes weren't for gluten free options. It was for how the eggs can be prepared. read more
