Close-up of the Tonkatsu Curry Rice
Lloyd C.

This is the first time eating at this Demiya location. They are located in the Eat Up Food Court in 99 Ranch Market. The parking is decent in this huge plaza. The staff was very courteous, polite, and efficient. Order via kiosk. Self serve complimentary ice water. Chicken Katsu Curry (+fukujinzuke or Japanese pickles): deep-fried chicken cutlet served with curry and steamed rice (3/5). The chicken was breast meat, so it was a tad dry. But the curry was flavorful and rich. Tonkatsu Curry Rice (+fukujinzuke or Japanese pickles): deep-fried pork cutlet served with curry and steamed rice (4/5). I chose the level 1 spicy which had a nice kick to it. The Pork loin was tender with a bit of fat that kept the pork juicy. Japanese curry rice is always a comforting meal. It always hits the spot. Support your local business.

Amazing Japanese curry spot conveniently located inside a 99 Ranch Food Court! I got the Tonkatsu Curry Rice. The Curry is very rich and thick, with a consistency like stew. It has both sweet and savory notes. I requested spicy level 1, which gave a warm tingle. It goes so well with rice, I couldn't stop eating it! The Tonkatsu is a fried pork cutlet with a golden, crispy exterior and tender interior. I also added Takoyaki on the side. 3 little balls of yummy goodness, filled with octopus and veggies. Drizzled with a savory sauce on top. Tonkatsu Donburi Rice is similar, but topped with egg, mushrooms, onions, green onions, and dashi sauce. It is lighter and slightly creamy, loaded with many ingredients. I like that both dishes had their sauces in separate containers for to go orders, so the Tonkatsu wouldn't get soggy. Conveniently located inside 99 Ranch, you can get your meal and shopping done together in one place. Quick service in a casual environment. We ordered online and everything was ready upon pickup. Plenty of seating for dine in too. Will be back when I'm craving Japanese curry!

Chicken katsu curry
Sarah T.

The Fremont location is really good. The katsu came out super crispy and delicious. The rice was cooked well and the udon was just enough. The portions looked sizable but ended up being a lot of food. It is a bit pricy for lunch, $20/dish with add ons. This stall is inside a grocery store but the noise level wasn't that loud. It took a long time to get the food, so only go for lunch if you don't have any more meetings for the day. Food is ordered thru a kiosk and there's only a cook so every things is self serve.

Extremely pissed and disappointed; I bought items for takeout and the contents looked right from the outside so I didn't bother opening to check the quality of the food before going home. The katsu donburi doesn't even look like katsu donburi. This is the pictures and proof of what I ordered. This was very poorly cooked and I demand a refund. The drive wasn't short either there and back. I tried calling multiple times but no one is picking up either. Very poor service as well; when the food was ready, I went to grab it and there was no one at the counter. We waited 10 minutes before deciding to just grab the food from behind the counter and notifying a different worker who was about to start his shift I think and on the way out, I see the cashier who took my order taking a smoke or something. Will not go again but this is very poor food and service control.

Omurice
Andy N.

So I'm always in search for omurice and we don't have any in the area. There's on the Oakland but I'm not out there often. First time I came to demiya, it was disappointing since they didn't make the eggs right and extremely overcooked. And the sauce was horrid because they use too much worcestershire sauce so it was so sour. Even after a year I can still remember how it tastes. Today I decided to give them another try because I saw someone's ordered came out and it looks right. After the first bite I am definitely had to do an update review, the eggs came out right and so fluffy. What really caught me off guard as a pleasant surprise is the sauce, it was very balance and savory. Delicious as hell. I love to see when restaurants improve, good job !

Combo plate
Shari N.

Went in to see the food court for EAT UP in Ranch 99 in Fremont. It was great to see different varieties of Asian cuisine and bakery. Finally found my stop here at Demiya Japanese cuisine on the go or dine in. I ordered the combo with the chicken katsu, steam rice, cabbage slaw salad and ebi(shrimp). You can ask for the pickled radish and the tonkatsu sauce hit different it was not as sweet but more peppery and I loved it! The salad was crispy and dressing was lite. The chicken katsu was juicy and crispy. I loved dipping it in the sauce they should make a bottle to sell. All payments and order through a self service kiosk no cash and menu is shown through Polaroids near the self service kiosk where you can also review the dishes to order. Great delight of yummy and delicious Japanese dishes for anyone who comes in the food court!

Tonkatsu Curry Rice, the pork cut
Nancy L.

I'm so glad that a Demiya opened up in 99 Ranch nearby my house. I love the other location's curry and decided to take one to go! They have dine in options in the food court with some bar chairs at the wall across from the store. You order from a kiosk next to the counter and get texted for your order when it's ready. I got the Tonkatsu curry rice and i loved how perfectly crispy the cuts were!! The curry itself was really tasty and I got Level 3 (out of 3), the spiciest and it had a little kick. (I'm good with my spice so I preferred more spicy) One downside was the pork cuts having a lot of fat content. A lot of pieces had mostly fat. Not sure if it was just the meal I got of if it's like that all the time. Would prefer more lean meat than fat or it feels pretty greasy. I'd come back to try more of their options, like the other curries, the curry udon, or coquettes!

Food court store front in 99Ranch
Art L.

It's a food court restaurant inside 99Ranch Grocery Store. Service can be improved... ordering via standalone self serve tablet screen. Quite easy to do order & paid via CC. As for pickup, the two workers are always having their back turned from customers and facing cooking equipment. I suggest to them that they need a mirror or camera to view the store front so customers like me don't have to wait 5-10 minutes before picking up my to-go meal. Menu has many appetizing choices including special ones that costs about $10. Tonkatsu with curry sauce was my order. Surprisingly, very good. The crust on this pork chop is very crunchy without being heavy in batter. And the pork chop is moist & tasty! Tastes above its grade; more like restaurant food than food court food. At $15.50, it's a bargain! Of course, they can improve on some condiments like pickle cucumbers and some veggies, which are missing. It's a 4.5 stars experience. Will round it up to 5 Will be back to try other dishes.

Chicken Katsu Curry
Anthony W.

Heard there was a new location out here so had to try it with some friends recently. Glad to see I wasn't disappointed. This location is located inside Ranch 99 on the left side. This is more of like a togo location ad there is very limited seating room if its a busy day. Luckily we lucked out and were able to get some seats behind where you order. Our order took a little extra than it normally would and the dude cooking recognized that by giving us an extra helping of Chicken Katsu which we graciously accepted. But yea overall this place taste just like the other locations. Happy to see that the quality of service is still 5 stars despite not being a traditional sit down location.

special brown sauce
Jeff C.

Super happy demiya open in fremont, but is true that this isn't as good as the one in san jose. On one hand is expected as it is inside a ranch 99 food court, on the other hand the price isn't cheap either. They key difference I see is the katie is always a bit "darker", which mean either the oil use isn't as fresh or they over fried it. The food still tastes good. When I ask for the brown sauce for the katsu, the guy said they charge $1 extra, but he did gave it to me for free at the end. I would think katsu should come with brown sauce, even if it is a curry udon. I don't know does ranch 99 food court rent charges a lot or what, but I feel like some of these extra charges is a bit much for food court. After trying the brown sauce, I sorta get it, as it is not your run of the mill bulldog sauce, taste better and look made in house, I get it if it is extra if you want more, but at least come with a single portion.

Chicken katsu curry rice
Melody T.

I will say that I went with the expectation of it being a sit down restaurant but it's not. It's in a food hall of 99 Ranch, which isn't a problem. However, it was very self service with just two workers who often have their back turned so we would have to wait for them to turn a bit to catch their attention. Even resetting my expectations, the food was just not great. We ordered the beef shabu curry rice which didn't have much meat. Fortunately, we figured that might be the case so ordered the pork katsu on the side, but that did not taste right. It was rubbery? Potentially was frozen. We also ordered the chicken katsu curry rice which also did not taste that great. The chicken was super dry and over fried which also made us think probably frozen. I enjoyed the potato croquette because I love potato and cheese and fried food but my partner commented that it lacked salt/flavor and was more fatty tasting than anything. It also sucked that you had to pay for add ons like a small container of pickled radish for $1.

Buta Shabu Rice Curry (15.50) pickles +1
Victor G.

Demiya opens where Kokolo Donburi was. Same counter. No decor. Change of name. Menu has only curry related eats now. Similar seating. Offerings: a la carte, noodles/rice, Teishaku (no curry), toppings, curry rice/udon, daria, onigiri.. Ordered at counter. Pd. Food ready in 10ish min. Bites: Buta Shabu Curry Rice (thinly sliced pork, 15.50) pickles +1 -similar taste to Tonkatsu without the breading & associated calories. Short grain rice & curry the same. -rice perfectly made, firm, fresh, warm, not sticky. -curry warm, semi-spicy curry-wise, no chiliness. -thin cooked pork just right, not overcooked, tender & moist. Just mix with rice & curry. yum! -pickles added a nice tanginess. 4.5 stars leftovers traveled well.

Natalia A.

The food wasn't that hot but that's maybe bc we came maybe like 40 mins before closing. The food wasn't that bad but I wish the portion size was a little bit more for that being the price. The workers were nice when we were given the food at the counter.

I do see that the curry is prepared different from other curry restaurants and the curry itself is actually very good. Rice to curry ratio is like 80% rice, 20% curry. CHICKEN KATSU CURRY (3.5/5) - chicken is super thin and I wish there was more. EBI FRY CURRY (4/5) - decent, crispy ebi. I actually enjoyed the panko breading and it went well with the curry. Overall, nice casual spot. I can see why it's popular with locals but I wouldn't go out of my way for this place especially with the likes of Curry Hyuga.

I ordered the vegetarian curry with tofu and broccoli at the medium spice level (~$17). The spice level was exactly as described and the curry itself was flavorful. My only small complaint is that I wish the vegetarian curry came with a wider variety of vegetables. I was surprised it didn't include potatoes which were an additional charge. The portion size felt fair for one person I had enough to have leftovers for dinner. I do wish the price was a little lower since it's a takeout-only spot, but considering the area, it seems pretty in line with what you'd expect to pay in downtown SF.

I appreciate the fact that they have a more authentic style of pork katsu instead of a chicken katsu that's more common in the US. They do have chicken too for those that wants one. The Katsu was fried right. Crisp, fresh, tad juicy and good. For the curry, it's been few weeks since I actually had it and I can't quite remember the flavor details. But, that's not much different from what I felt back when on the day I had it. Good, yes. But, didn't have a striking memorable flavor profile. Not much to say about ambiance since it's a take out only spot. The service was nice and pretty fast though. Excellent place for a quick takeout when you want to grab and go!
