It was so delicious and comforting, and my daughter loved it so much that she's been saying she wants to have it every day ever since!

If you're a fan of Japanese curry and katsu, I'd definitely give Japa House a try!

Stopped by when I was in SF only a couple minutes walk from BART and ordering online was super…read moreconvenient since their website accepts Apple Pay. 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. My partner ordered the chicken katsu curry and really enjoyed it as well. Definitely worth checking out.

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!

All good... $17 Tonkatsu Curry...the plate was huge! A thick, wide, juicy, tender, pork cutlet with that signature Japanese crispy crunchy batter embracing each other like a romantic couple on their 3rd date.

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.

Chicken katsu curry is nice and juicy inside, crispy on the outside, with a medium bodied Japanese curry sauce-- exactly the way I'd expect it when I go to Japan. They have options to customize, eg mentaiko, extra katsu, etc, so def easy to get exactly what you are craving. Service is friendly, and food comes out quick. Both indoor, counter, and outdoor table space available, and it turns over pretty quick. Ordering togo is also pretty convenient (they hand you your phone out the window). Also recommend the drinks here-- Strawberry Match Latte and house-made Yuzu soda. This place is one of my gotos for lunch!

The menu leans more toward Western-style Japanese cuisine, with a large selection of pasta dishes as well as a few rice bowls. I ordered the omurice, oyako don, and a pasta dish. Unfortunately, they had sold out of pasta, so they substituted soba noodles instead. The prices are a bit on the expensive side, but the portions are generous, especially when it comes to the amount of meat, so it still feels like good value. That said, I found the chicken to be a little tough. On the bright side, the takoyaki pancake was surprisingly good. Although the restaurant is somewhat pricey overall, the ingredients are generous and satisfying. My only real complaint is that it's almost impossible to find a server whenever you need one. 中規中矩的餐廳，在日本城的橋上是一個很不錯的賣點，食物比較偏向歐美風格的日本食物，很多義大利麵的選擇，還有些丼飯的選擇。我點了蛋包飯、Oyako Don、義大利麵，不過麵都賣完了，他們用蕎麥麵給我做。價格感覺有點偏貴，不過肉都放很多，很實惠，但是雞肉偏硬。另外，它的章魚燒餅還不錯。儘管整體價格偏貴，但是食料挺紮實的。唯一的缺點是永遠找不到服務員。

It honestly hurts my heart to leave such a negative review because the staff here seemed kind,…read moreattentive, and genuinely proud of the food they were serving. I did not come in with especially high expectations given the lower reviews, but this spot had been on my list for a while, and I still wanted to give it a fair try. The location is definitely appealing. It sits right on the bridge you cross while shopping around Japantown, so it naturally draws you in. We were seated pretty quickly as a small party of two, but after that, the pacing slowed down. It took a while for our order to be taken, and the food took about 20 minutes to arrive. I ordered the creamy mentaiko pasta, which is a dish I usually love and also enjoy making at home. Unfortunately, this version really missed the mark for me. The pasta itself tasted like basic boxed pasta, and the sauce had an odd consistency. Instead of being creamy and coating the noodles, it was served more like a thin soup. The mentaiko flavor was also very minimal, so the dish lacked the rich, savory flavor I was hoping for. Overall, I really wanted to like this place, especially because the staff seemed so sincere. But based on the food and overall experience, I unfortunately would not recommend it to anyone looking to try new spots in Japantown.

Food: 3-4/5 Service: Basic…read moreAmbiance: Casual Value: 3/5 Got Tonkotsu ramen and Oyakodon. The Tonkotsu broth was nice and the pork belly was soft. The Oyakodon I thought was just okay. Good in the fact it's simple, but left me wanting more. We went for lunch. When I say the service is basic, it's that we got seated, they brought out waters and that was the only service we received during the meal. The reason for my 3 star rating is that I wasn't really wowed by anything and the value. I understand rent and overhead is expensive but $17 for that Oyakodon is bit high. I understand Unagi being priced what it is. With that being said the ramen is comparable to other ramen shops in SF.

In 2017 it was listed on SF's best food truck list and if you've been a fan they've carried over their black and red color scheme to the restaurant.  The good thing is they are used to operating at high volume with fast turn around so the food comes out really fast. The menu is small but they do serve Japanese beers and sake. Shoyu Ramen: Noodles and broth were perfect and the chashu and seaweed were abnormally large, it was very tasty. For being proportional I would have loved more green onion. Spicy Miso Ramen: Perfect for warming you up on a cool SF day, it's savory with a delicate heat and thicker cut pieces of meat. Overall size may be perfect for other people but my friend and I could not finish our bowls, it seemed like we kept eating and eating and the bowl looked exactly the same so great value for the price.

I genuinely thought there had been a mistake, so I asked the owner about it. Apparently, three pieces of beef is the normal portion for a regular size. That's honestly ridiculous for something being sold as "beef curry." The curry itself was also overly salty, so there wasn't much redeeming the meal. If I'm paying for beef curry, I expect an actual reasonable serving of beef--not mostly rice and sauce with three token pieces of meat. Terrible value and an incredibly stingy portion. I would not come back.
