There is a reason Curry Hyuga was named one of Yelp's Top 100 Restaurants in the United States. It is one of those rare places that completely lives up to the hype. If you plan on visiting during the weekend, expect a wait. The line can get pretty long, but after eating here multiple times, I can confidently say it is worth every minute. Some restaurants are all hype, but Curry Hyuga earns every bit of the praise it receives. The katsu is consistently excellent. Whether you order the chicken or the pork, the breading is always perfectly crisp while the meat stays incredibly juicy and tender. That level of consistency is something I really appreciate because every visit has been just as good as the last. The curry is what keeps me coming back. It is rich, comforting, and packed with layers of flavor. Every bite has a depth and complexity that makes it stand out from your typical Japanese curry. It is the kind of meal that leaves you thinking about it long after you have finished. One thing I also really enjoy is the atmosphere. The restaurant strikes a great balance between being lively and comfortable. There is enough energy in the room that it feels welcoming and full of life, but it is still quiet enough to have an easy conversation without having to raise your voice. I often find myself stopping in for a solo meal when I am in the area, and it is the perfect place to enjoy a peaceful lunch or dinner by myself. At the same time, it works just as well when I bring friends and family. It is one of those rare restaurants that feels right no matter who you are dining with. The staff has also been nothing but friendly and welcoming every time I have visited. Even when the restaurant is packed, they stay attentive and keep things moving with a smile. If you have been debating whether to wait in line, take this as your sign. Curry Hyuga earned its place among the Top 100 Restaurants in the country for a reason, and it continues to prove why with every visit. I will happily keep coming back. read more

One of my favorite curry places in the Bay Area. They give you quite a bit of food for an affordable price, meaning it's good value here especially if you want leftovers. All dishes come with lots of curry and rice, along with your chosen protein and potato salad. I usually order the chicken cutlet/katsu dishes, but their omurice is also tasty, albeit slightly too buttery for me. Service is quick and helpful, although our server was a little impatient and gruff. There's seating inside for about 20-25 people, and I usually find I don't need to make reservations or arrive early to get seating. read more

I've frequented here on and off over the past decade and I've moved away and every time I visit San Francisco I make sure I get my curry fix here. The service, hospitality and food quality is always on point without fail. The interior has this old homey vibe that feels like an old diner that's good for groups or solo. My all time favorites are the chicken karaage curry, corn soup and potato croquette. Always delicious, always consistent and amazing until the very last bite. read more

Came here on a whim one day with family and was so happy I came. The interior is very clean and cozy with nice servers. I really love their pork katsu curry, their mentaiko cream udon, and honestly all of their signature lemonades. Their chili powders that they have on the side are such a great addition to the restaurant -- they label spice levels and what chili is used for each powder. If you love spice like me, I recommend habanero or spicier. read more

The weather has been getting a lil cold and wanted something that will warm us. We got seated right away and you'll order to the server. They were super kind to explain the menu and very attentive. I was very surprised with the curry because the initial taste was sweet then it settled down into a delicious taste of Japanese curry. I've never really taste anything like this before in terms of curry and I very much enjoyed it. Also love it how they have 5 different spices that you can sprinkle in the curry - I tried level 1 which is good. Katsu was well made. Also ordered their new "cream cheese udon" - Wow! Indeed it was creamy, chewy, with the choice of bacon and mushroom, it made the dish wonderful. read more

This location is great! Inside is so cute and service was amazing! All the servers were very friendly and attentive! The food was good (as expected). We tried the double menchi katsu, which was super tender and flavorful (will def get next time)!! And of course I had to add oysters (my favorite)! The shiso mentaiko cream spaghetti was amazing......such a good blend of flavors in a creamy (but light) sauce. So good!!! Will definitely be getting that again too! Overall, we love this chain and will continue to come back! read more

Food: 3.5-4.0 | Service: 4.95 | Ambiance: 3.75 CURRY HYUGA BURLINGAME was a long time in waiting to try. Japanese Curry, a sweet and mild curry, is very different from Indian and Chinese/Thai curry. Usually served w/crispy Tonkatsu and a cabbage salad, it can be hard to find. Finding good Japanese curry can be just as difficult. CHB satisfies on the Japanese curry savoriness front. While it's nothing fancy (that extends to their decor), it is housemade and delicious. Waitstaff was brisk and courteous. Was advised to not order more than what I had...he was right. Had leftovers to take home! Ordered the signature ORIGINAL KATSU CURRY w/pork. Other option is chicken. Steamed rice in a Japanese eatery is always top notch, always perfect and generous in portion here. The Tonkatsu was crispy but a tad short of tender, but tasty enough to dip in the accompanying Japanese curry sauce. I might ask for the curry sauce on the side next time. Cabbage salad, traditionally a huge portion was a small offering cushioning the Tonkatsu. Accompanied by a small scoop of house made potato salad and pickled veggies. The hot Tonkatsu, steamed rice and Japanese curry sauce was a great combo for me, a very filling and satisfying meal! CH offers a tabletop varied selection of chili peppers: Pequin, Wiri Wiri, Ichimi, Jalapẽno, Orange Habanero. I did a light sprinkling of the traditional Japanese Ichimi pepper to add a touch of heat and that was fine. Signature ORIGINAL KATSU CURRY was a great start to this menu tasting. I'll be back to try their DOUBLE MENCHI CURRY, KARAAGE CURRY, ASSORTED VEGGIE CURRY, KATSU CURRY UDON. CURRY HYUGA BURLINGAME is also one of the few places that has Omurice on its menu. A Japanese omelet w/rice or noodles inside. Their version is HAYASHI OM-RICE. I will definitely be back to try this! See you there! read more

I've visited both the Burlingame and Cupertino location and I think it's alright. Straight forward service with big portions. I like chicken much more than pork. Pork is harder. I don't think the flavor stands out compared to other katsu curry spots. read more

We had a kakifry oyster curry and a shiso mentaiko cream spaghetti to go. The curry was hearty and well-balanced, and there were five lightly breaded fried oysters packed in a separate container.The mentaiko sauce was rich and full of umami, and we opted for replacing the miso soup with corn potage at a $2 upcharge, which was well worth it. read more

My boyfriend and I tried this place on a whim after seeing good reviews, and it definitely did not disappoint! We went around 5 PM on a Tuesday, and it was nice and quiet, so we were seated right away. We started with the teppanji and then ordered the katsu curry and karaage curry. The curry was rich, flavorful, and honestly reminded us of our trip to Japan. Portions were generous, and I liked that you can customize with extra meat, veggies, or even add an egg. The real standout, though, was the teppanji chicken--it was so good that we'd come back just for that alone. Overall, great food, good service, and a clean space. Definitely a spot we'll be returning to! read more

Curry Hyuga - Yummmm - Japanese Curry Near Me - Burlingame, California

3.5 stars, rounded up, because prices are pretty reasonable. The milk tea was way too sweet (it's more like condensed milk with a splash of assam). The breading on katsu seem more dense than I remember. This was my go to curry place but I think they're more similar to other curry places around the area these days. Friendly service and very responsive to the service button on each table. Comfortable booth seating. I got the oyster katsu curry, a winter special item. It hit the spot. I do feel like I could get similar fried oysters elsewhere though. I'm sure I'll come back but expectations will be tempered. read more

Really loved this spot! First, the portion sizes alone make it such a great value. You get so much food for the price. I ordered the signature curry with a hard-boiled egg, and everything about it was so good. The rice was cooked perfectly, the curry was rich and flavorful, and the katsu was super crispy. We also ordered the chicken karaage, and it was just as good. The portion size was also huge for an appetizer, and every piece was juicy and well-seasoned. The location is convenient, the service was friendly and efficient, and everything moved quickly. We were seated immediately, someone took our order immediately after sitting and the food arrived just as quickly. Would definitely recommend! read more

Curry Hyuga - Katsu with curry with a side of egg - Japanese Curry Near Me - Burlingame, California

I've been to Curry Hyuga in Burlingame about 4-5 times now, and every single visit has lived up to a 5-star experience. It's one of those spots that's just consistently dialed in, food, service, and overall vibe never miss! The ambiance is warm and casual with a cozy Japanese diner feel. Nothing overly fancy, but clean, comfortable, and perfect whether you're grabbing a quick meal or sitting down and taking your time. It always feels welcoming :D !! Signature Katsu Curry (with egg) This is my go-to every time. The curry is rich, savory, and has that deep slow-cooked flavor that just coats everything perfectly. Not too heavy, not too sweet--just balanced. The katsu itself is crispy on the outside and super juicy on the inside. The breading holds up even with the curry, which I appreciate because nothing's worse than soggy katsu. Adding the egg takes it up another level. Once you break it and mix it into the curry and rice, it makes everything creamier and even more indulgent. Rice & Sides The rice is always cooked perfectly and soaks up the curry really well. The pickles and potato salad on the side are small touches but add a nice contrast to the richness of the dish. What keeps me coming back is the consistency. It tastes just as good every single time, which is honestly rare. Service is always smooth, food comes out quickly, and the whole experience feels effortless, the elder couple who helps serves everyone always has smiles on their faces! Definitely one of my go-to comfort food spots in the area. If you're craving katsu curry, this is the place read more

Curry Hyuga - Signature Katsu Curry - Japanese Curry Near Me - Burlingame, California

Curry Hyuga has been on our must try list for a long time (years) and a chilly night in the Peninsula was a perfect opportunity for something cozy and filling! They are located on Broadway in Burlingame in the heart of a ton of local shopping and dining; there is a good amount of metered street parking but it's often busy. If you go a block or two away from Broadway, there are a few lots (also metered) and some free street parking-just be mindful of people's driveways. Curry Hyuga is definitely a cozy spot-there are around 5-6 alcoves with two tables each, and can seat groups of 2 to ~10 in one of these areas. We didn't have to wait long to be seated, but they were decently busy with in-person patrons and takeaway orders on a Monday evening. As usual, the #YEShusband and I had perused the menu and went in with a plan to share and try as many things as possible! I hadn't really had Japanese curry, so I was particularly intrigued by the description of it being more of an umami gravy-like sauce. Here's what we ordered: - Corn Pottage Soup (super rich sweet corn, spice, milk, and chicken consomme): Super creamy and flavorful. This was a reasonable size to share between two people. - Teppanji (sizzling chicken with onion infused namban sauce): WOW! We knew we were in for something delicious after reading the description, but this one exceeded our expectations. This karaage style chicken is served topped with a hot (temperature-wise) green onion oil on top. The flavor is next level! - Signature Katsu Curry (hand breaded pork loin): Iconic dish and Curry Hyuga executes it perfectly. Their curry sauce is savory, just the right balance of saucy and gravy-like consistency, and goes well with everything! I should have ordered an extra side of the curry-rookie mistake! This comes with a half plate of rice, a side of their potato salad and fukujin pickles which provide a cool contrast. - Karaage Curry (Japanese shio-dashi marinated fried chicken with house blended crust): It was nice to try their karaage on its own-the breading is flavorful and not too thick. It's served with a creamy, aioli type sauce which was a nice option to dip the chicken in. This also comes with a half plate of rice, a side of their potato salad and fukujin pickles. - Potato Korokke (side): this is similar to a potato croquette: a mashed potato ball mixed with corn and onion, coated in panko, and fried. It was so yummy and had a great flavor. Great side to dip in extra curry sauce! I highly recommend coming to Curry Hyuga for a hearty, homestyle meal that is also reasonably priced! Huge thank you to the Curry Hyuga team for a tasty first visit- can't wait to come back for more! IG: @waitingtoeat read more

This is my favorite Japanese curry restaurant in the entire bay area. The meat is so-so but the curry is amazing. It has the right amount of contrast with the meat and white rice. Too bad some of it spilled all over the plastic bag while I was transporting it. The food came out quick at around 4:30pm on a Sunday. Pork curry $17, karaage chicken appetizer $8.50 and potato salad $5.50 goes well together. Good job my friends at Curry Hyuga. read more

Yum! Big portions and sweet staff. Our party was able to walk in on a Sunday and get seated right away. I went with the chicken katsu curry and added on a potato croquette. The curry is savory and I love that the katsu comes over a bed of shredded cabbage as sometimes you need a little veggie. The katsu itself was juicy, and the batter was perfect not too thick and clung well to the meat. Would recommend the croquette, it's like a fried mashed potato ball with corn inside. Definitely come here for a warm and hearty meal! I was even able to bring come leftovers :) read more

I am so happy to have found this place on Yelp! We were craving something along the lines of Coco Ichibanya from Tokyo and found Curry Hyuga. What they don't do is the vegetables like potato and carrots but they make up for it with the chicken cutlet and tasty curry sauce. We asked for the chicken katsu curry with extra pickles and a side of potato croquette. It was so frickin good and the service was so friendly! We've gone back two times now in the last week. The wait wasn't too bad and it's a decent space inside. The interior is nicely lit and gives off a very Asian feel. The area it's located in as nice but be aware the parking situation sucks on weekends. We will absolutely be coming back! read more

It's hard to find a place these days that specializes in Japanese curry only that tastes just as delicious as here! I like how the order comes with potato salad and radish. For those that want the extra spice, there are different pepper powders you can add to your curry. I am definitely coming back and will continue bringing more friends and family here :) read more

Karage curry: Compared to other Japanese curries I have had, this may be an okay choice. Not to say it is not good, but I expected a Japanese curry with more umami tastes. However, this curry tasted more savory than typical curries. The flavor of the curry was strong however it was quite salty and dark. The chicken was great!!! I could eat it on its own. The salad and dressing complimented the dish well. It help to cut the salty flavor of the curry, it is quite refreshing. Service was phenomenal! There is a call button which helps with getting the waiters attention when things are busy. Food came relatively quick and tables are clean. I enjoyed that they offered 5 levels of spice powder on the table for customization. If you are looking for a quick bite and satisfy your curry craving, this is a good choice! read more

Yummy Katsu Curry! My friend who goes to Japan kinda often said this place reminds him of the katsu from Japan! I also really enjoy the food from here. For the chicken karagage it just didn't hit the spot for me sadly (it would've enhanced the dish if they had lemon for us to add to that dish and I was just kind of disappointed with the chicken overall). I really liked the katsu curry from here though and would come again if I were in the area. As for parking-- it's street parking so you probably have to go around the block a few times. It's a cozy store, and they had a button for us to hit to call the servers which was convenient. read more

Once we walked in we were seated right away. The service was pretty quick. The resturant was clean and there was good amount of seating. Parking could be hard since there's so many stores around that it can def get packed. There were metered parking but when I looked at my meter it wasn't on so maybe the parking was free? The food was not bad. Signature katsu Chicken curry 8/10: this one was prob the best dish out of all the ones I got. It had the most tasty flavor. The rice was perfectly cooked and the chicken katsu had the perfect crisp. Chicken katsu don 6/10: this dish didn't really wow me. It lacked flavor so I ended up dipping my katsu don in the curry from my other order. The rice was good but flavor of the whole dish was okay. Beef hayashi om rice 5/10: this dish also didn't really cut it for me. There was barely any beef and the flavor lacked complexity. Overall service was pretty good but the food was just okay compared to other curry places I've been to. If you go tho my recommendation would be the signature katsu! read more

I had the signature chicken katsu curry and waifu had the tonkatsu-don. Meals came pretty quickly and were super hot (temp wise). The curry was super flavorful, honestly I could've just eaten that with rice. It's pretty rich, but also slightly sweeter than what I've had elsewhere. The chicken itself wasn't heavily breaded and it was quite soft once you get past the crunch. Super comforting meals. Wish they had one in Sac! read more
