Got chicken curry udon with an egg, I feel like when I get noodles they water the curry down to make a soup but I'd rather have a tsukumen situation where I can dip my noodles and katsu in regular thick curry. Also my katsu got so soggy I should've asked for my katsu on the side. I love udon but the situation made the whole dish mid. Cheeseburger meal was pretty yummy! Liked the sweet and curry and cheese and bread and double meat balance. Was delicious and indulgent. Would've loved pickles with it haha or any veg Fries got cold fast in the AC read more

First time at Curry Do and I definitely need to come back soon! I got the curry plate with mild curry, chicken katsu, rice, and added an egg. The curry was the perfect amount of sweet and spicy. The chicken katsu was perfectly crispy. And the rice made it all the perfect bite. Definitely come by and try this spot out if you're in the area! read more

Curry Do - CHICKEN KATSU CURRY - Japanese Curry Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Curry Do specializes in Japanese Curry with various protein options. The curries come in small or regular sizes. Curry (Small - $14.50 / Large - $17.50) - I wanted to try their soft shell crab curry, which incurred a $1 upcharge, and was only available as a large option, so $18.50 for crab. This came with fried soft shell crab served in a gravy-like curry which was slightly sweet and savory. I asked for it mild and it didn't have any heat, perhaps next time I would go with medium. It was served with some bright red pickles and rice. I wasn't too impressed with the crab, the quantity was on the smaller side. Curry Lunch Special ($13.50) - This comes with a small curry and half of a side appetizer. On a subsequent visit I ordered this with chicken katsu and the gyoza appetizer. This came with 3 fried chicken gyozas that weren't bad, but I think I would have preferred if they were steamed. For my curry I went with the chicken katsu, which was slightly overcooked but still went well with the curry. Overall, the lunch specials are reasonably priced here and I would stick to getting that when I visit again. It's not a big restaurant inside, with about 8 tables and a good place to go to get one's Japanese curry fix. read more

Wanting something relatively quick, Curry Do showed up during our dinner search. It wasn't very busy on a Saturday evening when we arrived. We were given the QR code to scan to view the menu. We ordered: * Tonkatsu Curry ($14.50) small - I really liked that there were two options as I wasn't super hungry and the size was perfect. I had just enough for myself and enough to give a few pieces away too. The curry was tasty as well. * Child Set with Chicken Katsu, Potato & Carrots with Curry ($9.95) - The child set portion was also a nice option and also gave a little variety because it included 2 pieces of gyoza as well. * Tonkatsu Curry Udon ($17.50) regular - This was a good size, and it was obviously good as the Little Guy left the bowl empty. * Ishiyaki Curry with Tonkatsu ($18.50) - This was the most standout dish as it was different since it was served in a hot stone bowl. The crispy rice bits at the end were his favorite part. Service was good and attentive. Overall, the food was decent and satisfied us. We would probably return if we were in the area and wanted some Japanese curry. read more

Located next to Anjin and Afuri, it's easy to find parking. When we arrived it was kinda full, but there was only one server. We waited quite some time until we got a qr code to scan. Inside is clean, and minimally furnished. The tap water tastes very bad, tried a sip and didn't want to touch it again. Food is mediocre, curry is fine, no acidic aftertaste which is a plus, katsus are very bland. One of the takoyaki is even cold inside. All in all if you are craving for katsu curry and is close by, it's an ok lunch place. read more

Delcious curry at Curry Do! Came during lunch on a weekend and the restaurant was pretty empty. Don't know why because their curry is fantastic! Pricing is on the higher side for a regular size curry ($17.50). You can get a smaller portion for $14.50. I have a healthy appetite and got the regular with tonkatsu. The pork was a leaner than I prefer, so I would probably get the chicken the next time. The sauce was great and I cleaned my plate. My husband got the curry udon with shrimp and devoured his as well. During the week Tue-Fri 11:30am-3pm, they have lunch combos where you can get a small bowl of curry and an appetizer for $13.50. What a deal! I'm somewhere between four and five stars but will give five since service was great! Parking in the lot. read more

Omg the food was so good!! Creamy curry. Delicious crab. Warms you right up inside. The mild is perfect if you don't like spice. And you can get a re-up on curry if you get the dinner menu item. If you get overstimulated, it can get a little loud because it's a small space but the service is very nice. I would just recommend noise canceling headphones. 10/10 would come back again! read more

Food here was decent. Curry was flavorful, I added the potatoes and carrots but hardly received any for an additional price. For almost $20 I would hope it would come with some sides like radish and maybe a cabbage salad. Compared to other places like Katsu Bar. Staff was friendly overall and the restaurant was clean. read more

Love this place. Their curry is so comforting and just has the right flavor & spice. (MIld curry) We came here for their lunch special and it's so inexpensive. They have a lunch special M-F and it's $13.50 It comes with an appetizer or salad. There are many options for the meat. Reminds me of a home cook meal and the serving is just right. read more

My first time here, the service was giving 100%! I loved how attentive the staff was to my little table of 1. I got water asap whenever I was low and my food came out fresh and fast! I loved being able to choose between rice and udon noodles. The only thing that could make this place perfect would be more vegetarian options, its my go to dietary preference although I did change to pescatarian and the tempura shrimp was delicious. The shrimp wasnt small either! They dont skimp, I will be back :) read more

Curry Do - Curry with chicken Katsu - Japanese Curry Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Stopped into Curry Do for a quick lunch after a gymnastics meet, hungry and a little pressed for time. It turned out to be exactly the kind of place you hope to find in that moment. We ordered two chicken katsu curry plates, one mild and one hot, plus agedashi tofu and an order of curry fries with cheese to share. The katsu came out crisp and evenly fried, with a light crunch that held up under the curry. The chicken stayed juicy inside, cut thick enough to feel substantial without being heavy. The mild curry was smooth and comforting, gently spiced and easy to eat quickly. The hot version had a real kick, not just extra heat for show, but deeper spice that built as you went. Portions were generous across the board and felt like good value for a lunch plate. The agedashi tofu was soft and custardy in the center, with a delicate crust that didn't get soggy. The broth was warm and savory without being overly salty. The curry fries with cheese were indulgent in the best way. Crisp fries, plenty of curry, and melted cheese that pulled everything together without drowning it. Service was quick and friendly, which mattered given the tight window. Orders were taken efficiently, food came out fast, and no one made us feel rushed once we sat down. Overall, this was a very solid five-star lunch. Comforting food, good portions, and smooth pacing from the kitchen. Practical tip: if you like heat, go for the hot curry. It actually delivers, and it's especially good with the katsu. read more

My fave curry restaurant in OC. Food is always fresh and delicious. The curry is flavorful and you can choose your spice level. I usually get mild, maybe next time I'll try medium. The chicken katsu is crispy and tender (if that makes sense). The meat is moist and not dry. The ginger is one of my faves, it's so yummy, and I'm not usually a ginger person. Lol The chicken katsu with udon noodles is also good. The noodles are cooked to perfection. I haven't tried anything else, but will do! Update coming soon. I usually order the regular size, which used to be a pretty decent portion. I came last month and the portion was bigger, I was able to share it with my bf. However, today the portion seemed smaller than usual. Not sure if they cut down on their portion size. The service is always great. The restroom is clean. read more

Listen. I love curry. I've ordered curry from different Thai, Japanese, and indian restaurants (yes I know they are different) BUT of every curry I've ever ordered, Curry Do is my favorite. Idk how they make their curry, but it beats every other curry I've ever tried. Their gyozas are amazing, salad dressing is top tier (which is home made), and their beef belly and chicken katsu quality is unmatched. My coworkers and I always come here and are met with the best hospitality from Joe, and besides the amazing food, that's what keeps us coming back. It's a weekend and I ordered delivery because I had it yesterday and was craving it again. Highly recommend Curry Do for any curry craving you're having! read more

Curry Do is located in the same plaza as Halal Guys, Blue Bowl, and Wanderlust Creamery. I came during a Tuesday lunch and was seated right away for a party of 3. Parking was easy & the interior was beautiful, clean, and aesthetic. Service was great and attentive. I got the tonkatsu curry with fried egg and everything was delicious and flavorful. My friends also enjoyed their dishes. The lunch special they got also came with an appetizer and they said the 3-piece Takoyaki was also really good. I'd definitely come back if I'm craving Japanese curry or to try one of the many other things on their menu. read more

Absolutely amazing. I love curry so much and Curry Do is THE spot when that craving hits. Everything about this place just hits right, the flavor, the spice, the comfort. Like seriously, I could eat this every week and not get tired of it. But I gotta give a massive shoutout to JJ, the best server on the floor and honestly probably the whole franchise. Dude was attentive, quick, funny, and just made the whole experience ten times better. Someone please give this man a raise because he's built different. I left full, happy, and already planning my next visit. read more

Been to Curry Do in Tustin and already knew what to order here. My go-to is the pork belly with rice and fried egg and added potatoes/carrots. I've tried the Original curry which is sweet and very tiny spice and the Mild curry which is less sweet but more spicy. Both sauces are honestly great just depends what you prefer. The pork belly cooked to perfection. The fried egg sunny side and also perfectly executed. The white rice is quality and moist with great texture. Service friendly. If i could give 2 suggestions to make it even better: 1. Replace tap water with filtered water. I couldn't drink it tastes so bad. Should be the norm. 2. Add a little salt on the pork belly when cooking. Its very bland as is and salt will enhance the flavors. read more

Thank you, Curry Do, Hayley H, Ari M, and Yelp OC for inviting me to your Yelp Elite Experience which allowed us to try one complimentary entree with one complimentary add-on. I came on a Saturday evening and was able to try the Ishiyaki Curry with Pork Belly. Although pictured on the menu, it does not automatically come with the fried egg. I was thankfully able to have it as an add-on that was included in my Yelp Elite Experience, and am so glad I did. The curry is not usually spicy for this dish but I asked for them to please make it spicy. The entrees arrived with the fried egg, pork belly, rice, and tomatoes already in a stone bowl. The server then poured steaming hot curry over it. Watch out for your first bite because the temperature can be very hot! I like that it came in a stone bowl because this came the temperature of the food hot for the whole meal. The Curry was tasty and flavorful and had the perfect amount of spices (although it did not feel spicy at all for me). The pork belly was tender and yummy. The rice had that little bit of crispiness at that bottom where it touched the stone bowl (which I loved). They offered a small side of pickled radishes that I threw into the pot and enjoyed the little bit of tangy flavor it gave to balance the whole dish. I really enjoyed my meal so I also ordered takeout for my family. I got the Pork Belly Donburi and Agedashi Tofu. Both which my family enjoyed! The restaurant interior was well-lit, minimal, clean, with high ceilings. Servers were great, polite, and we're quick to clean up tables as people left. Pop music was playing and the A/C was on full blast. Parking lot is free and there is valet (not sure how much it costs) available if you have trouble finding a spot since there are a lot of restaurants in this plaza area. I didn't have to use since there were a few spots available in front of the restaurant. read more

Thinly fried chicken cutlets served with a rich and savory Japanese curry on a bed of fluffy white rice is something many of us crave for now and then. If you're like me, who appreciates a side of pickled red ginger, then you my friend have good taste lol.It really works wonder and my favorite component to this entree! I went to Curry Do on a Friday night around 6pm and the place was located in a pretty tight packed restaurant plaza. Luckily, we came right before the dinner rush so found parking right in front of the restaurant. We went inside and the it took over a Korean restaurant called Hashigo, which I loved, so I was expecting some good food here. The restaurant had a few patrons dining with their kids since they have a kids eat for free promotion going on. We got seated right away but this is where it went downhill after that. We didn't get to place in our order for about 7-10 minutes upon seating and when we were trying to get the attention of the server, he just did not bother to look our way or ever came back. He brought of beverage and never returned. I feel like they were understaffed or undertrained for service since I could also see other diners waiting for their food for a while. Another server came by to drop off our food, spicy shichimi peppers and pickled red ginger. She was better than the last server since it seemed like she knew what she was doing, but I did have remind to bring the peppers and ginger so kind of an inconvenience. I did think curry and cutlet was good, but my wife didn't see anything special with it. She prefered to eat across the street at Mitsuwa's food court where we usually go to but, I think they did a good job. The stone bowl really kept the dish and curry super hot which I love. The crispy cutlets were fried perfectly and curry had the perfect balance of sweet and savoriness. I'd rate 4/5 food but the service was 2/5. I would possibly come back once they got all their ducks in a row. read more

Absolutely loved our meal at Curry Do! The chicken katsu was crispy, juicy deliciousness. We ordered the build-your-own bowl with chicken katsu and rice, plus another chicken katsu bowl with the spicy udon. Warning: spicy means SPICY. A lot of restaurants tone it down to an American spicy, but this is the real deal--true, burning, satisfying Asian spicy. So good! The plain udon was also a big hit with our kids, which made the meal even easier. And bonus: weekdays kids eat free! Huge win for families. We'll definitely be back! read more

Curry Do was so good. The curry was really spicy, but in the best way, and I could not stop eating it. It had a ton of flavor and the heat actually made it even better. The Orion beer from Okinawa was bomb too and went perfectly with the spice. Definitely coming back when I'm craving Japanese curry. The service was great too. The waiter with glasses was super friendly! Also, it was very clean. I would go back again for the burger next time. read more

Always hitting the spot! So sad that the BP location closed because I used to doordash this pretty often but glad that they opened a Costa Mesa location and it's close to my Santa Ana office. If you're craving curry katsu, this is the place to go! It's so delicious and tasty and curry has such great consistency. Tbh, Cocoichiban hasn't been the same for a while so I definitely started to prefer Curry Do. Took my coworker here and it was his first time trying Japanese curry and he LOVED it. Service is great too! Highly recommend coming here. Also want to point say that I was here for a yelp elite experience and it did not disappoint, 5/5 allll around! read more

This spot is located in a busy business area with a lot of foot traffic. Parking wasn't too bad and we found a spot out front. We walked in on a Wednesday night and we were immediately greeted and told to sit anywhere we wanted. We sat and they directed us to their QR code menus. It wasn't too busy inside and the waitress was very good with cleaning the tables and not leaving things there. We reviewed the menu and decided to get curry katsu chicken. I got the the regular and my wife got the small. I also added a tempura shrimp and an egg which came at an additional cost. The regular size curry chicken was around $18 and the small was about $14. We also got the happy hour gyoza. We both got mild curry and the waitress said that we could get the chili on the side that they would normally put in the curry to make it more spicy. It didn't take too long and to bring out our food. The small didn't look much smaller than the regular. However it did look like there was a little less chicken. The curry was delicious. It was on the sweeter side but when we out the spice in it, it made it more savory and a little spicy. We were glad we got the spice on the side and got to add it. It's a very nice spot. I'd come back for curry again. They were very attentive and checked in with us often which was nice. read more

My hubby and I tried this new curry spot. We ended up getting take out. It seems they were short staff on a Friday night because there were only 2 servers and they were busy. After placing our order, the server was very friendly. She did give us a heads up that the wait might be longer than usual and apologized in advanced. The Chicken Katsu Curry was pretty good! Chicken was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. read more

*** YELP ELITE EVENT *** Thank you so much for participating in the recent Yelp Elite event. I was so happy to be able to try your tonkatsu curry. I ordered the spicy and it had THE BEST flavor and you nailed the spice factor! I was on the run, as usual, so didn't get to eat it till I got home and it was still warm and fresh. All the cute added sides in individual cups also took it up a notch and thanks so much for allowing us to take it "to go".... I also grabbed a Matcha latte while I was waiting and it was the first time ever trying a Matcha latte. LOVED IT... Especially the fact that the sweetness was adjustable. He told me the normal sweet pump was 2.5 and I was able to get 1 pump. PERFECT AMOUNT for me. What a treat that was!! I'm a fan.... read more

Curry Do absolutely exceeded my expectations. I came in for the Smash Burger, and it was easily one of the best burgers I've had. The beef was perfectly seasoned with an incredible crust, the bun was soft and fresh, and every ingredient tasted high quality. Every bite was packed with flavor without feeling overly greasy. Beyond the food, the service was exceptional. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made the entire experience enjoyable. The restaurant itself was clean, had a great atmosphere, and you can tell the owners genuinely care about delivering quality and making customers feel at home. If you're looking for an amazing burger and a place that takes pride in both its food and hospitality, Curry Do is absolutely worth the visit. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommended! read more

Service was horrible. I was not given silverware but for some reason I was given a steak knife and napkin even though the burger I got comes cut in half already. Took forever after my meal to finally catch someone that was not my server to pull out their mobile card processor, I noticed they had some sort floating "alert" symbol over the No Tip button. After tapping the button twice the waiter had to drag and drop it out of my way, I heard him audibly tell my server no tip. read more

UPDATE - Another win for Curry Do! Last time (a few posts back) I came for their lunch special, but this time I wanted to try something else. Service was quick as usual and the restaurant was not too crowded so things felt relaxed and super chill. They had a seasonal Cold Lemon Udon which sounded so refreshing and unique! I'm a big fan of sour soups, lemon / yuzu flavor profiles, and udon, so this was perfect. You can choose either a tsukemen (dipping ramen) style or soup. Each order comes with a side of katsu and either curry/katsu sauce. This was PERFECT for summer! Cold, refreshing, not too heavy, and very fresh. Udon was chewy and not overcooked. The dashi soy broth wasn't too salty and the green onion + seaweed added good flavor. 10/10! I also got the beef belly donburi which is a sauteed beef belly with sweet soy sauce served over rice with green onion, fried garlic, picked radish, and a side salad. Good ratio of sauce to beef to rice, and the picked radish added a nice crunch. Simple yet solid meal read more
