    Pork Katsu Curry

    文文食食食 16 months ago The food and service was excellent! They were good with refilling water. I think the curry wasn't too salty and everything was good

    I was in the mood for some curry and we went inside to try it out. I ordered the vegetable curry with steamed rice with a medium spicy level. The cashier brought over a small bowl of miso soup and that was very tasty. We shared the curry dish and it was delicious but the next time we would step up to the hottest spicy level.

    Preface: cashier was very nice! New place in Westwood. nice and well lit interior . Pretty clean for the most part. Cashier was friendly. As for the food, I think it was okay. The katsudon had no crunch to it and felt like it's been sitting for a minute, even though it was most likely fresh. I will say I have not had an outstanding katsudon and typically it feels a little lack luster to what I'd expect. Flavor was okay, a little more salty than flavorful. Same goes for the curry, except it's more spice than flavor tasting imo. Overall it's okay, service was kind which pushes it up a little but a three on food alone.

    The food was alright and portion was big. The katsu was average though, nothing exceptional. This is a good spot for people who live close by since parking isn't free around Westwood

    Just tried this spot just now and so happy I did! The curry is so good! I got the Pork Katsu and it was very tasty! The restaurant has a lot of seating and very clean! Service was fast and staff were very attentive. You place your order at the table by scanning a barcode and they bring your order to the table. Great new spot I found and will be coming back to try other items on the menu. Come give this restaurant a try, it won't disappoint. Happy Nom Nom!

    The food was delicious, juicy pork and flavorful curry. The service was great as well and I enjoyed being able to order on your phone. The ambiance was decent too. The only thing was I felt the portions were a bit small for the price, but I enjoy the convenience of having it in Westwood.

    The Northern Cafe in this space rebranded Curry Hero, complete with large signs emphasizing the hero part - kind of cute. It's basic but very decent Japanese curry, the katsu was a touch too fried, spicy actually has some heat, the rice was... fine. Gyoza were undistinguished, which just meant I'll be skipping them in the future. Seaweed salad was a generous portion but a tad too sweet.

    Went to my favorite Japanese curry spot in Sawtelle called Coco Ichibanya. It is the comfort food…read morethat everyone enjoys. Back in the days there was Curry House but sadly they are all gone now. Coco is basically the last one standing. My go to order is the pork cutlet omelet rice with curry. The egg is fluffy and the pork katsu is crunchy, meaty and juicy. I order the level 6 spicy which is just enough spicy to give it a kick. The gravy like curry has hint of spices, sweetness and smooth finish. Each order is just the right amount of food. The Japanese pickles give the dish a nice crunch and you can add as much as you want. This location is in Sawtelle so make sure to check out the dessert spots nearby after your meal. I usually park by the Marshalls which has 2 hour free parking.

    Super classic Japanese curry place! I grew up close to a Curry House but they sadly closed down…read moreyears ago and so this brought back feelings of nostalgia like wowww I've missed this! Sawtelle and Ktown (the 2 locations closest to me) are both out of the way + traffic so I haven't actually had Coco Ichibanya in ages. Pork cutlet omelet curry ($18.25)-- Tastes comforting, homey... everything you want Japanese curry to be. The katsu is not exactly dry but not super juicy either? Can't beat the ones at tonkatsu places but it works as a topping for curry. The omelet was thin and wasn't anything spectacular so I wouldn't get the egg again. This place is known for its customization potential. Pick your rice portion, spice level, toppings etc... buuuut be warned that it can come with a pretty steep price tag. It'll add up pretty quick. The pickles on the table are great!! Goes soooo well with curry and helps cut the fatty/greasy feeling. Or if you're starting to get tired of the taste, have more pickles! The chili powder is good too. Tip-- FREE PARKING!! Just follow the signs for restaurant parking. The entrance is around the corner + drive 1 min further down. There's a ramp to enter. Take the elevator up and you'll be where the restaurants are. They'll validate the parking slip. To get down, just go back to the same elevator (insert slip to scan or else elevator button won't work). Japanese curry is just one of things you have to be in the mood for. If you're craving then this will definitely be the spot for you. Otherwise it'll be kinda meh so just depends on you! Free parking in this area is a great bonus though.

Service was well paced with the first course arriving in a few minutes followed by the main. We didn't have high expectations for the cold tofu and okra but it was delicious and the tofu soaked up the soy based sauce and was balanced by the slight crunchiness of the okra. The waffle fries were exceptional - double fried with a curry aioli sauce. The tonkatsu and ramen were also great. The tonkatsu had a light, crispy batter and the ramen was so delicious, with the addition of corn, peas, black fungus and bamboo shoots, truly comforting. The burger was a hit, too. Juicy and flavorful. The small details here didn't go unnoticed, the unique plates, nice bamboo chopsticks and cute hippo candy plate. We chose to sit in front by the open windows since it was such a nice afternoon but the dining area further inside was welcoming, too. I've also been here outside of DineLA and it's just an overall solid experience.

The katsu was crispy and flaky - so that was a plus. Most of the dishes are kind of pricey in my opinion.

    If you like tonkatsu (pork cutlet), this is the place to go! I am not a fan of tonkatsu, but for…read moresome reason, I really like the tonkatsu here. Sometimes, I even have a craving for it. My sister was INCREDULOUS when I said I wanted to eat tonkatsu here again. haha I always eat the pork loin which is not dry, is tender, and has some fatty bits to it. I really like the texture of their pork. And the tonkatsu sauce flavor is SPOT ON, which is very important! My sister LOVES the corn soup. It IS tasty, and so is the miso soup. I also like the salad dressing that comes with the side salad for an entree. For me, tasty salad dressing is a must or I won't eat salad! My sister always eats the shabu shabu salad, which I have also tasted and like, but I only eat salad occasionally when I have a craving, so I haven't had the salad as a meal. Unfortunately, I tend to eat the same thing over and over, so I can't comment on the rest of the menu. We also only do takeout, so I cannot comment on service, but the tonkatsu here is definitely the best I have had thus far, and like I said, I am not a tonkatsu fan, so that's saying A LOT!!!

The katsu combo (chicken, pork, shrimp, and mackerel) was very crunchy, and the chicken and pork were especially tender. The proteins were a bit bland on their own, but the dipping sauces were solid and helped a lot. The Fish & Chips were a highlight--the fish was soft inside and crispy outside, and the fries were very good. The corn soup was naturally sweet and mild but surprisingly flavorful. The curry had a good level of spice and came out in a fun gravy boat since we ordered it as a side for dipping. The vibe is relaxed and beachy, with surfboards and a cool blue sky ceiling feature. Service was friendly and fast. Unlimited rice and grinding your own sesame seeds were nice touches. I'd come back to try their creamy udon dishes.

Oh how I wish I didn't have to walk through the kitchen to get to the restrooms. I didn't enjoy seeing the behind the scenes of it all. And the bathrooms need to be cleaned better, especially around the base of the toilets. They smelled awful. I hate to say this, but I definitely wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.
