The food here has been amazing for years! I'm glad they finally have one in Texas so I don't have to go to Cali for it or all the way back to Japan! Kinda wish they had one closer to Dallas! I'd eat there everyday! read more

If you are forward thinking you can join the waitlist ahead of arriving. The interior is packed with tables but strategically laid out so it doesn't feel cramped. It's one of the quickest counter service restaurants I've been to stateside. We were in and out within 30 minutes and by the time we finished washing our hands after our meal a new party was sitting in our recently vacated seats. The staff are attentive. The food is deliciously simple yet solid and satisfying. The prices might seem high for what you're eating (rice, curry, and a small amount of katsu protein). However, one full entree can feed 2 people and you can add on to your entree to make it a larger portion. If you want something hot and quick - this is a great option. 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

My sister talked about this place so much so had to come try it, it's crazy because the curry doesn't look appetizing but it's soooo good and flavorful! We shared the chicken one with egg and got some sides too. For me, it was perfect in the winter so will have to go back then! read more

Time to update because I literally crave the curries. Sometimes, I send a family member out a random times to drive all the way over to pick up the curries. I could absolutely eat this every damn day. Is this my top fave ever? Tied for number one (with Ovenhead Pizza)!!! Ah, Coco Ichibanya, you haunt my dreams in the most delicious way. Thank you for being so addictively delicious. Thank you for bringing the spicy. read more

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

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. Service is amazing Food is amazing Ambience is ... well, it's ambiance lol Can't wait for the franchise to continue to grow and spread across the USA, hopefully closer to my little corner of Texas 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

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

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

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

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

Got me a spoon! Loved this place so much. The wait sucked but it was on a Saturday around 1 so we got what we asked for. I had amazing service and the owner was apologetic and had the greatest attitude and made you feel like family. Food was 10 outta 10. I'm now a forever customer. Small dining room so make advanced plans if you can. I completely understand why this place is so dang popular. 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

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
