It was just like the omurice I had in Tokyo during my last trip. Curry is more of a soupy texture cooked with beef, with the perfect mild spice. Egg omelette was perfectly soft and mixed so well with the curry and rice. The server told us that we could ask for extra curry sauce, the first one is free, so of course we took advantage of that offer. Bestie and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will be back. Remember to ask for a stamp card or bring your stamp card! read more

I've had fair share of curry pan growing up in Japan and this is one of the best Curry pan I've ever had!! It's filled with melting cheese and hot savory curry that reminded me of my childhood. One order comes with 2 giant pc and it was enough to fill me up. Must try!! read more

Great service. Okay curry. (Maybe I'm just used to Coco Ichiban flavor.) Thank goodness for pitchers of beer.

Really ono curry at this Mom & Pop. They've just added chicken katsu curry to their menu, which is really what I was looking for. If you dine in, you get a little potato salad with daikon on the side (I ate it before I took the photo, as you can see). If you want more curry sauce it's free and I think a few carrots and potato may be included. If you crave curry, this is the place. Convenient parking in the back (enter on S. King past the restaurant at the end of the building then it goes behind). Then you can enter through the back door, which is barely labeled with a small faded sign saying 'Jugem.' read more

Glad we did take out because inside is not the cleanest place and your clothes will smell of fried oil. Not sure why they called this coedo Japanese curry when it taste like standard Japanese curry you buy and make at home (block curry) can't say anything good or bad was just standard. Price for standard curry was good but adding anything that bumps the price I would 2nd guess. Not Worth It! read more

So glad we took a chance on this little restaurant. Best katsu curry we ever had! My son appreciated that we were sat right next to a table full of games as we waited for our order. One round of Uno and the food was ready! We will definitely be going back. read more

The wife and I wanted something different before an event in town, and stumbled upon a brand new restaurant called Jugem off the strip mall on the corner of King and Keeaumoku street. Owner said they only opened about 3 weeks ago, and thought we would try it. The restaurent itself is a small place but has enough tables for about 5-6 parties. The decor is still a work in progress, but looks cute and trendy and island friendly so far. Food. A lot of the dishes were like the Japanese Curry you would find at Coco Ichibana, and the price is very competitive. They had a big combo curry that had about 4 or 5 items and curry and rice that looked big enough for both of us, but decided to skip it in favor of 2 smaller diahes. We ordered an Oyster Curry dish and a 2nd curious item called the Curry Pan. The food arrived timely. The plate looked pretty big even though there were 5 pieces of fried oyster, and a mound of rice and a decent amount of curry. One improvement I would like to suggest is to keep the rice and curry hot. The oysters were really fresh and hot, while the rice felt like it was sitting for a bit. Still, the oyster, curry, rice in one bite was so ono. And then there's the curry pan. So awesome! The only way for me to describe it is think of a sandwich made of curry and cheese, battered with panko, and then deep fried! Hot, fresh, crispy outside. Gooey, savory, cheesy hot inside! It was less than $10.00 for this dish, bit so satisfying and fulfilling. The owner should consider making this their signature dish if they dont have one yet. Imagine a drive through with just Curry Pan! It's the perfect one handed takeout food, it's So good. I may have to come back and stock up for the week. Gotta be careful though, because the first bite can be tongue scalding hot if not careful. They also have other great Japanese flavors, but mostly around Japanese curry. Consider supporting this local restaurant along its neighbors -- Sushi Sasabune, Eastern Paradise Restaurant, La Pizza Rina, and Choi's Kitchen. read more

Went to check this place out tonight with a couple of friends. It was kinda windy and rainy so figured it would be a pretty good choice. The 2 ladies that were working there were very nice and attentive. Everyone got something different. We ordered the fried chicken curry with side of fried calamari, the omelet curry with side of tonkatsu, and I had the tonkatsu curry. Our meal came with a nice little potato salad which was yummy. Their curry, Coedo, had a nice, thick, and rich flavor. The portions are quite hardy with a nice ratio of curry:rice:protein. Oh, and they were able to meet our request for CHEESE on the curry... yum!!! The staff came around and filled our water and even offered a little more curry to finish off the little rice left on the plate. Overall, we all had a nice time with great food and friendly, relaxing atmosphere. read more

Really good comfort food! It felt like my grandmas cooking type of vibe. The ladies there were really nice and sweet and very thankful. Would definitely come back here. The curry pan was so good! read more

Tiny store in what used to be Bababs on King Street (near the intersection of Keeaumoku). Parking is in the lot right behind which should be free during the day time. Workers are the friendliest people ever! Unfortunately I didn't enjoy my meal as much as I thought I would've. I got the fried chicken curry but the fried chicken was heavily battered and dry. The curry tasted fine but didn't have those pieces of carrots and potatoes like in other peoples photos :( For $15 a plate I don't think I can justify eating here often. Perhaps a bad day but if I see an Instagram special I like I would give them another try! Go follow them on Instagram to see their specials :) read more

Everything was so good!!!! We ordered the Raspberry Matcha, Vanilla Matcha and for someone who isn't a fan of sweets. It was a perfect balance of cream and matcha. The popcorn chicken was very unique with its crunch and batter. I ordered the omelette rice and my boyfriend ordered the Oyster(which he devoured). Both were so tasty and to top it off we ordered the pudding dessert which was the perfect end to a comforting and home style meal. Definitely will be returning again and again and again!!!! read more

I was craving some Japanese curry and since curry house isn't on door dash I decided to give this place a try. I was actually very pleasantly surprised!!! The katsu was still crispy and crunchy after it was delivered! There are lots of other ingredients (carrots, onions, potatoes etc) in the curry sauce. The sauce came packaged separately. (Very thoughtful) and the bento box came with 5 slices of pork cutlet katsu (all 5 were still crunchy) and had a scoop of rice w some nori sprinkled. The other side had a mix of pickles and corn and mac salad. I kind of wish there was more rice and katsu (was hoping for curry house portions) but alas. But the quality definitely better than curry house! Will definitely order again! (Sorry was too hungry and didn't get to take any pics) read more

Randomly saw this place on uber eats, I've been doing a lot of takeout lately and hardly dining in so bare with me on the food quality versus dining in lol! Anyway to start, the takeout boxes all had thank you notes on them which I thought was really sweet. We got oyster, tonkatsu, frank, and spam curries! Everything was so good! Honestly one of the best Japanese curries I've had! it has a nice mild spice but not too spicy. The oyster was so crispy and yummy! The tonkatsu was also super good. 10/10 I hope to try this place in person soon! Def would get this again. read more

Not bad!! But not great either. It's definitely a "turn key" kinda restaurant. The food is pretty much deep fried but delicious. The curry was good but I'm only comparing their curry to Coco Curry which has always been our favorite. Their curry just wasn't as full bodied as I'd have liked it to be and the curry portion was small, we felt like we had more rice and not enough curry. The fried foods were pretty generous tho. Next time we shall order extra curry sauce and maybe add some spiciness to it. The service was great actually.. friendly and quick. Will try this place again and ask for extra curry sauce. read more

Tiny little gem we found after an event at the Blaisdell and we're definitely coming back! The menu boasts Coedo Curry - which from what I gather is Japanese curry with ground beef? In any case, it's delicious We shared one order of the "special" which had all the tempura proteins one might want - shrimp, spam, tonkatsu, oysters and gyoza - and one Coedo order which is just curry and rice The star of the show is the Curry Pan which is a tempura fried jumbo white bread sandwich with curry and cheese inside - $7! read more

Cute little hole in the wall curry place. Small seating but definitely newer so getting seated wasn't an issue. Curry has a homemade taste unlike your restaurant chain Japanese curry. Worth giving a try to support this family owned curry spot. Gave them a four star for their customer service, food presentation, and how much my daughter loved the fried calamari. Looking forward to seeing how much they grow!!! read more

BEST chicken katsu curry in Hawaii! Humble mom and pop spot, food made to order, service is great. These ladies don't mess around.

This was my first visit to this charming old school Japanese curry house. The tonkatsu is cooked to perfection and was served by two really kind kitchen/waitress. The beer is cold and the space has a calm feeling. I'll be back read more

This place is just awesome. Tonight was our first time here. Since its our walking day, we had a whole group of 9 with us bum rushing this little restaraunt just less than an hour from their closing time. I honestly felt bad but the two hostesses/cooks were very accomodating for us and welcomed our business anyway. It was a little tight fit, but Ive been in tighter situations so this felt quite cozy. Plus, tonight was a cold and windy night so we were all excited for their food. Reading about their curry, I learned that their Coedo style of curry is quite unique. I ordered the Oyster Katsu Curry, my wife got the Garlic Shrimp Curry, my son got the Tonkatsu Curry Ramen, and my mother in law got the Tonkatsu curry. They did have to make a fresh batch of curry for us so there was a little bit of a wait, but it was SOOOOO worth it. Their curry is really something special for sure. The Tonkatsu was cooked so perfectly, with thick juicy slices if pork. The Garlic Shrimp was so flavorful, and they also throw the garlic and juices on the rice. It was an unusual pairing with the curry, but it was still good. And the Oyster curry was an amazing experience! They use oysters imported from Hiroshima! This is a cute little restaraunt with some older fixtures that lends to its appeal. Great for a couples date night or maybe a smaller family dinner. The price pocket is just right. You do have to pay for parking in the back. Now days its as easy as scanning the QR codes that are posted all over the parking area. I highly recommend this place and I hope to return very soon to try the rest of their menu. read more

The hours have changed! They're open until 8pm now to allow for a dinner service. We got there on a Saturday at 5:30 and got a seat for a party of 3. The curry was nice, but nothing super different from other curry places on Oahu. The winner here is the curry pan! It's basically a deap fried curry-cheese sandwich,but priced as an appetizer. Delicious! Prices were reasonable and food didn't take too long to come out. We'll be back for more curry pan! read more

Probably the best pork katsu curry on the island! The pork was thick, juicy and tender with a crisp, non-greasy crust! And the curry! Dark, unctuous beef-based with veggies! Sooooo good! Plenty of parking in the back! Yeah, I'll be back! read more

A perfectly cozy, homey, and casual spot for flavorful Coedo curry that warms the heart and the stomach. FOOD: Omelet Curry - Omelet was substantial and fluffy and appropriately runny - Rice to omelet to curry ratio was perfect, and the portion size was more generous than expected - Curry had a strong homemade taste, and was rich, slightly spicy, slightly sweet, with a good depth of flavor - Overall, a delicious and homey plate of food Special Curry Plate - Large variety of food, including gyoza, tonkatsu, fried oysters, fried spam, and ebi fry over rice - The panko on the fried foods was exceptional--it stayed crispy, wasn't oily or heavy, and tasted good - Curry itself was pleasantly rich with chunks of vegetables and bits of beef in it - Given the portion size, better to share with 2 or even 3 people - It would've been better to have more rice for a better rice-to-curry ratio ATMOSPHERE: - Very homey and casual with mismatched furniture and a random assortment of kids toys and snacks for sale by the door - Felt very cozy SERVICE: - Excellent service, there were three Japanese ladies working and the one who took our order was so sweet and pleasant - She gave us a free refill of curry and was very prompt with refilling our waters and checking if there was anything we needed - She was very friendly and felt like we were just talking to an aunty - Stamp cards are offered for discounts on further visits read more

Been meaning to go to this place for some time after seeing good reviews for them on Yelp. I had high hopes. Those hopes have been dashed. I ordered online and was told that the order would be ready in 25 minutes. I got down there and told them that I had an order to pick up. The staff looked at me in shock, and then noticed a slip of paper with my order on it. Sigh. Needless to say, the food wasn't ready. They didn't even realize they had received an order from me. They asked me if I could wait, and I said I could being that I was already there. They added that it would be fifteen minutes and suggested I go park in the lot behind the restaurant, and they would bring the food to me when it was done. I ordered a matcha drink that I had wanted after seeing photos of it on Yelp because I also had some time to kill in the car. I ended up getting my food AND drink 30 minutes after the initial pick-up time, along with the extra bill for the matcha drink. Wow. Really? Keep in mind that when I placed my order online I tipped them 9 dollars on a bill that wasn't even 50. If you order online, the tip is pre-added by the way. That was a cold game. During my interactions with the staff, they seemed worried about forgetting my order, and appreciative of my business, but never apologetic through words or actions. I stuck with them and waited an extra half hour. After they forgot my order, they could have discounted the order, comped the drink, or offered some kind of incentive to come back. It was an extremely disappointing experience. One that I will not give them a chance to repeat. read more

Nice hole in the wall Curry house. Friendly service. Would go back again for their curry sandwich

For the longest time I saw this place in yelp but didn't know where it was exactly. But they are located on King street there is metered parking pretty close by it's a few steps. The store is small they have a few tables to eat inside. Their menu has maybe 10 items. When you do take out they put the curry separate. The tonkatsu was filling for my fiancé and he didn't finish the whole thing. The croquette didn't have much taste of crab but it was very creamy. I did also like their version of Mac salad it wasn't heavy on the mayo and has relish or something. I will definitely try something new next time I go back. read more

Was soo good! Even my kids whose very picky eaters, loved it! Easy parking at the back of the building! read more

Went to Oahu for vacation and decided to take a gamble on this little cozy place as we miss Japanese Curry House based on yelp ratings. Super friendly staff. Excellent service and of course the food! It would have to be a place that's 3000+ miles from home to find some of the best Japanese style curry I've had in years! Excellent flavor and the tonkatsu and the chicken were or so tender and the curry flavor was perfect. Just the right amount of spice and flavor. A++++ read more

Delicious curry. Recommend the oyster curry. Also, loved the calamari and French fries! Will be back again soon!!

PARKING IS FREE BEFORE 5PM!! Ate lunch with a friend and the server was really nice! We ordered the Jugem Special with an extra side of rice and it was a lot of food for the two of us. It came with gyoza, spam, oysters, shrimp, and tonkatsu. We were worried that the single serving of curry wasn't enough but the server gave us another serving! Curry is on the thicker side and tasty. read more
