    Chicken Katsu Curry Omurice
    Ron R.

    This is basically a fast food curry place with mostly fried food. Like most places in SGV the lot is not big enough for all the businesses in the mini mall, but you can usually get a parking. On Sunday night around 5:00 the restaurant was deserted. Nevertheless, it seemed like only one lady was doing all the food prep by herself. We had to wait maybe 20-30 min minimum for our order. When she was mostly done making it, another man came in the front door, put his dinner from another fast food place on the counter and started helping her. Like many new places, order is by kiosk only and they do not take cash. Highly recommend you skip the in-store wait and just order ahead on your favorite services that they take and allow 20-30 min to get there so you do not end up waiting in-store. The food quality was mixed. The spicy curry was too hot for us even though the flavor was good. The amount of meat and egg and overall food is not that big and you are mostly filling up on rice. That is not worth the post-Covid and inflation prices they are charging. The food tastes ok, but is not as good as comparable places or sit-down Japanese restaurants. The mild curry was not too hot and had good flavor. The potato salad texture is different, but tastes ok. We did not know one comes with each dish and so we accidentally ordered an extra. For maybe $5.99 or $6.99 it was totally not worth it. Even though we ate different dishes and did not share we both got mild food poisoning from here. We got: potato salad, chicken katsu curry, unagi bowl, and omurice bowl and a mango flurry. You definitely need massive lactade if you are lactose intolerant to drink their flurries and other yogurt drinks. Only really worth a try if you order ahead, really want take out and are in the area, and order two dishes and don't eat all the rice if you are pretty hungry and expect to pay a lot for it.

    Another restaurant has taken over this location and now it's curry flurry... I don't think they're going to last based off my visit. When I visited, the two staff were just sitting on their phones and vaping. There's two self order kiosks which uses a mix of photos taken of the dish and also AI images so what you se isn't what you get. After some time, we got our food to eat. All the food was packaged for to go so it didn't matter if you ate it there or took it out. The curry was obviously microwaved - the center was ice cold and the surrounding curry was very hot. The mashed potatoes that came with the dish were ice cold. The karaage was covered in a seaweed mayo and had no other flavor. All in all, won't be coming back and don't recommend it. Everything is premade and just microwaved.

    What in the helly was this??? Was starving and ordered dinner takeout from here. Got the wagyu patty curry omurice and the presentation was promising. However, the moment I cut open the patty, that thing was RAW af!!! I mean like medium rare is understandable but this was straight out the fridge cooked for like 2 mins and that was it. How can they even package this and serve something like this? It will definitely give me diarrhea and maybe even a stomach ache for the next week!!! Disgusting.

    Stopped in for a casual meal and ordered the curry omurice. The omelet was soft and fluffy over the rice and the curry had a deep savory flavor with mild spice that didn't overpower the dish. Everything tasted fresh and well put together. I liked that the curry, rice, and protein were packaged separately. Nothing got soggy, and you can mix it yourself so the texture stays right all the way through. Portions were solid and filling without being heavy. They also offer a good variety of proteins and curry options, so it's easy to come back and try something different. Service was quick and straightforward, as you'll need to order through their two kiosks.

    WHY I CAME HERE? Curry Flurry in Arcadia was one of the places that held a Yelp event several weeks back. I RSVPed for the event, but unfortunately, I did not get confirmed in for it. It's all good. I decided to come here on my own to see what they have to offer and offer them some support. FOOD: I placed my order over the phone. I paid for my order after my arrival. 1 Teriyaki Chicken Skewers Rice Bowl - flavor of the teriyaki chicken tasted off for me, veggie and rice were okay, portion was small for the price IMHO 1 Karaage Chicken - this was good, chicken was moist, batter and sauce were tasty, chicken chunks were a little small IMHO... wished they were bigger STAFF / SERVICE: The lady who took my order over the phone seemed nice and pleasant. Upon arrival, I assumed the lady who was behind the counter was the same lady. I was not greeted right away. She appeared to be the only person working the counter at the time. Anyway, she eventually greeted me. I had to wait for another 5-10 minutes for my order which was no biggie. INTERIOR / AMBIANCE: It's not a very big space. Very bright yellow wall with simple decor. Two self-ordering kiosks are available for use. There are a few tables/chairs plus limited bar stool seating. Water station for your convenience. EXTERIOR / PARKING: This place is located within the Arcadia Center shopping center. Free parking is available. There may be a time limit so please read the signs. It's not a huge parking lot, but decent for the number of businesses present. RECOMMEND THIS PLACE? I really don't know. I may be back to try their omurice item, but I'll see. If not, please don't allow my review to hold you back from giving Curry Flurry a try. Everyone's taste bud is different. You may like them. You don't know until you try. Good luck!

    The shop is very an one man operation. There is almost no service. You go into the store, order at the kiosk and wait for the food. There is no music, and sounded really dead. It was at least clean. I thought what the heck, try it out anyway. I placed the order thru the kiosk, and waited approximately 10 min before it was completed. The omelet rice, wagyu burger, curry, and Potato salad were packaged separately. Food was fresh. The curry itself was very spicy and which I didnt mind. It was delicious, and I was pretty satisfied. I think the store could play some background music or something. The food was good but not the rest. For that, it gets a 3.7 out of 5.

    Noticed this new curry place popped up in my hometown, so I had to check it out. It's a small, casual spot where you order through a kiosk--minimal interaction and mostly takeout-style packaging. Tonkatsu Curry Omurice - Came in separate containers. We ordered the mild curry, but it turned out really spicy (maybe they gave us the wrong one). Still, the flavor was solid and the tonkatsu was super crispy. Overall tasty! (4/5) Onsen Egg Wagyu Don - This one was great! Generous portion of rice, beef cooked well and flavorful. Definitely something I'd order again. (4.5/5) Blueberry Matcha - Nice and balanced, not overly sweet, and served in a small cup. Refreshing. (4.5/5) Mango Pomelo Sago - Decent, but I've had better. The sago pearls were a bit hard, maybe because the drink was too cold. Just okay. (3.5/5) Overall: A solid new spot! Food quality was good and perfect for a quick bite or takeout. It did take about 15 minutes for the order to come out, so call ahead if you're in a rush. Parking: Plenty--shared lot, no issues.

    I ordered their buy one get one free chicken katsu for lunch through Uber Eats, and the portion was huge. The price was good. It arrived still hot. Good. I like it.

    Ebi Tempura Curry Omurice

    Delicious food and excellent service. You'll enjoy truly authentic Japanese dishes here, and there's no need to travel far to experience the real flavors. The quality of each dish is absolutely worth what you're paying for.

    I already had a big dinner. Went here cuz I saw the fried milk. Like a mortadella stick, but filled with custard. Custard is not too sweet. So nice and crispy, not oily at all. You walk in and order through a kiosk. No cash. A few tables inside. Guy was busy with lots of Togo orders. Gotta come back to try their main dishes. Looks good!

    Unagi Tamago Don + Wagyu Patty Curry Omurice
    Holly H.

    Food: - omurice + waguy patty: 3/10, save your money the omlet is as thin as paper, also has very intense coloring as noted by other reviews - mac salad: 1/10, if you can even call it a mac salad - eel rice: 3/10, everything tastes prepackaged, the egg that's a part of the combo was breaking off into rectangles - besides the fries, everything tastes like it's reheated Service: - no greeting or anyone out front on a Sunday afternoon lunch time - kiosk to order - cooking staff do not tie their hair up when cooking, no gloves when handling food - the drink that comes with the combo is a syrup that the staff shakes up with water (as done in front of me) Ambiance: - spacious lot - convenient parking - little to no "ambiance", no music Will not be returning.

    When we first walked in, there was no one manning the shop. You order on the kiosk and wait for the food to be ready. It was empty when we arrived so we seated ourselves. We ordered the wagyu patty curry omurice and the ebi tempura curry omurice. I enjoyed both the patty and the tempura. The omurice itself was okay but something about it felt a little off compared to other omurices I have had - not sure what though. Overall, the food was not bad.

    Kiosks!
    Francisco M.

    This location is at a plaza that has decent amount of parking. You can easily spot it from the surrounding stores. The inside is fairly clean and they have a few kiosks to order from! I didn't see staff for most of the time during my dine-in. It was quite empty and very quiet. I wasn't sure if the order was even going to arrive or be acknowledged. The food arrived in to-go containers on a tray. The omurice was okay. The curry was actually pretty good. Nice flavor and just enough of a kick for the non-spicy option. The katsu was tough and the skin kept falling off. The skin did have a nice crispy texture and katsu sauce flavor. The chicken was better as a protein option.

    I had probably the best restaurant experience I've ever had this past Monday evening at Tokyo Soul,…read moreand it wasn't just cuz of the delicious fare, but also because of [& overwhelmingly so] the abundant hospitality that was shown to me and my friend. (: How it started: I showed up a couple min prior to their 5:30pm opening time and got welcomed in. Before I even sat down, a stranger at the corner table asked if I liked beer, to which I said yes, so he recommended the Suntory premium malt draft beer. I decided to go ahead & order it and liked it quite a bit & let the table of friends know. Before I knew it, I'd be introduced to Stan, one of the sunniest people you'll ever meet. He & his friends pretty much make the big decisions for the mall and are somewhat more involved w/ a handful of places like Tokyo Soul. It was such a privilege to be on the receiving end of their warmth, generosity, and openness. My friend & I ended up getting to try some of the items they're planning to introduce the following week (which I won't post pics of, just to keep it a surprise :P) as we continued getting to learn s'more about our new friends, interspersed by the continuation of my & my friend's own convos. We felt lucky that we got to be served by Edward too (a mentee of Stan's), who usually doesn't work that shift, but his friendliness was definitely one of the first things I noted as I got seated. The hospitality that night outshined the food only because it was like nothing I've experienced in LA. However, the food can hold its own, and though my conversations w/ my friend + Stan & co. meant I was eating my pork katsu curry rice way past its prime state, the dish was still so flavorful that it was a delight to eat even cold. What a Monday night to remember. Thank you Stan & co. for taking care of us so well!

    We were specifically wanting katsu curry at the mall, so it was the right joint to hit up! We never…read moretried this place before, but it used to be where Monkey bar was at (iykyk). Located at the promenade and can be easy to miss since they don't have a huge sign or anything. Right across from Wing Hop Fung. We were seated immediately since it wasn't too busy. We got two katsu curries and 1 hamburg curry. The hamburg curry does take a little longer to prepare. Trying out the katsu curry, it was pretty salty overall. Mild spicy, but not spicy at all. The katsu is also pretty tough to eat at certain parts (usually the edge), and doesn't slice that cleanly when cutting it into smaller pieces. The miso soup was also a bit salty, but the salad was pretty nice and refreshing! We also got to try a bit of the hamburg curry and that one actually tasted better than the classic katsu curry... disappointing that even the signature misses the mark. Overall, it just tastes like how it's advertised, "Tokyo-style inspired". Employees were nice and attentive for checking in on us!

My friend got the tonkatsu red and loved it. He's not normally someone that compliments food so I was a bit surprised. We both wiped our bowls clean and left no noodz behind. We also ordered a shareable agedashi tofu which was delicious as well. Service was great. The staff was polite and checked in on us a few times. The space is very modern and well kept. There's a lot of tables so it isn't a problem bringing larger groups here. Parking is very easy since it's in a huge lot. It's been awhile since I've found a ramen spot that thoroughly impressed me. I can't wait to be back to try the rest of the menu items!

Service: 5/5 No complaints on service, staff are nice and quick, although it will get quite busy on the weekends. Food: 4/5 Omiurice w/ Demi-glace: 5/5 First Impressions, their omurice is amazing! The egg was cooked perfectly, it was very fluffy, and runny, paired with the demi-glace sauce which made it savory. The rice beneath was a nice addition too. They also come to your table and cut it open for you there, giving you the option to record for social media and etc. Thai tea: 3.5/5 So they have a little TBAR i belive inside, and you can order items separately, although this thai tea came with my order i believe. Its honestly pretty solid, but I'd say that it was a little bit sweet, and the cup is pretty small. Overall, id give it a 4/5. Its more of a resturant where you'd wanna go out and eat eith friends or experience something new, but other then that, its fairly busy most of the time, and parking is a bit hard to find. .

    Come for the food, but LOOK AT THIS PLACE…read more Okay, I have to start with the atmosphere because this place is absolutely STUNNING. The second you walk in, there is so much to look at. The woodwork, the hanging wooden plaques, the Japanese-inspired décor, the trees throughout the restaurant, the lighting, and especially the little honeycomb-style booths built into the walls. It almost feels like you've stepped into this little Japanese village rather than just another restaurant. Whoever designed this place understood the assignment. I went during the week, so thankfully it wasn't very crowded, and my friend and I were able to sit upstairs in one of the honeycomb booths. If one is available, DO IT. It made the whole experience that much more fun, and you get such a cool view of the restaurant from up there. Now, FOOD. I ordered the Pork Tonkatsu Omurice with curry sauce, which comes with chicken fried rice wrapped in that beautiful fluffy omelet, topped with pork tonkatsu and curry. When they bring it out, they actually ask if you'd like to record the presentation before they cut/open the egg--which, obviously, YES. It's one of those little touches that turns ordering food into an actual experience. And it was BOMB. The egg was fluffy, the pork tonkatsu had that crispy texture, and everything worked really well with the fried rice and curry. The curry itself isn't particularly spicy, so if you're someone who doesn't tolerate much heat, don't let the word curry scare you. It had plenty of flavor without being hot. Personally, I like my food SPICY spicy, so I added some extra spice to mine, but that's completely personal preference. I also ordered the Thai iced tea, and that was delicious--fresh, creamy, refreshing, and exactly what I wanted with the meal. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed the food, but I think the atmosphere is what pushed the experience over the top for me. The restaurant itself is just SO COOL. There are restaurants where you eat, leave, and that's it--and then there are places where you're looking around the entire time because you keep noticing another little detail. KYURAMEN was definitely the latter. Good food + Thai tea + an omurice presentation + sitting inside a freaking honeycomb booth overlooking this gorgeous restaurant? Yeah. I'm coming back. Tip: If you have the option to sit in one of the elevated honeycomb booths, absolutely take it. It makes the experience.

One thing that really stood out to me was their retail section. They have a surprisingly solid selection of Japanese trading card games like Weiss Schwarz, Hololive, and Pokémon, alongside some manga. It's an awesome touch if you're a fan of the hobby or just want something interesting to browse while waiting for your order. As for the food, I had to try the classic maid cafe staple: the omurice.

The drinks are definitely on the richer, sweeter side, making them feel like a dessert in themselves.

Japanese chicken was good but have to ask for sauce (they don't provide, otherwise) Staff - Kind, semi-attentive service. Enviance - Had to rush meal and leave cause it was so uncomfortably warm. Can't remember the last time I had to leave a restaurant cause of lack of AC.

We ordered the chorizo potato burritos, and they were excellent. They were packed with flavor, generously sized, and my wife couldn't even finish hers. The salsas they served with them were delicious and really tied everything together. We ended up coming back another day to try the burgers, and they were just as impressive. Everything tasted fresh, the burgers were juicy, and the fries were perfectly crispy. This has easily become my new burger spot whenever I'm in the Pasadena area. The drive thru can get pretty busy during peak hours, but the staff works quickly, so the wait wasn't that bad. I love old school burger joints and the vibe from the outside. It has that classic local spot feel that makes the food taste even better. Definitely would come back!

My biggest complaint is the cleanliness, since there were quite a few flies flying around, with some even landing on the booths that I sat in. The booths also looked fairly dirty, which isn't really appetizing if you're planning to eat inside. Service - 10/10 The staff were friendly, and the service was quick. No complaints. Food - 7/10 Tops Special Burger - 6.5/10 Honestly, the burger was just okay. The presentation was nice, but everything else was pretty average. The pastrami had good flavor, although some pieces were oddly chewy. The beef patty also tasted like it had been frozen, which kind of just took away from the burger. Chili Cheese Tots - 7.5/10 The tater tots themselves were great, they were perfectly crisp and cooked well, but, the chili cheese was a bit underwhelming, since I could barely taste the chili. Overall - 7.6/10 (for dining in) the food is decent and id say that its an okay spot if you're looking for a quick bite, and they give fairly large portions. Other then that, I'd recommend using the drive-thru instead of dining in. It's way faster, and you won't have to deal with the cleanliness and long waits inside.
