    Chicken katsu
    Doriee L.

    Stopped by this past Sunday for a late lunch, at around 145PM or so. There were no other tables besides ours so it wasn't busy at all. Came here mainly to try their curry omurice so I decided to go for their chicken katsu curry omurice while my husband went with their tonkatsu curry omurice. The chicken katsu was huge! It was thick, juicy, and tender. I really enjoyed this. The tonkatsu, however, was tough. It was not as good as the chicken in my opinion. Unfortunately, there was no option to choose how spicy you want your curry like many other curry places but they do have pepper powder at each table for you to use. My friend and I drowned our curry in pepper powder since we like it spicy. The curry was OK -- it ran on the sweeter side and doesn't carry as much depth as some places. There was a ton of rice with each plate. The omurice is just egg on top of white rice -- it's not really omurice. The rice had a good texture though, it was fluffy and plump. But since there was so much rice, there wasn't enough curry. By the time I was halfway through my meal, I barely had any curry left for the rest of my giant mountain of rice. Overall, it was decent. I don't think KARE would be our first choice if we want Japanese curry though.

    Stopped by this place earlier this year. I said I would come back and I have! The service was good. I was immediately seated and given time to look at the menu. I ordered a chicken katsu curry bento box. This box comes with gyoza, salted edamame, miso, omurice, curry and then you get to pick your protein. The miso was nice and light and very quickly came after I placed my order. The gyoza was crispy on the edges and juicy. The katsu was crispy, tender and the cutlet was thick. The omurice was a little firmer than I'm used to but still silky. The curry has great flavor and there was a good amount. Honestly, so good and I had leftovers to take home. I was definitely satisfied!

    Came in expecting a decent meal, left wondering why this place isn't packed like a BTS concert. First off, the host? 10/10 -- super friendly, didn't judge me for being overly excited about curry. Respect. Now the food: that katsu was crispier than my Wi-Fi at 3am. The curry sauce? Smooth, rich, and lowkey made me emotional. The omelette? So fluffy it could be a pillow -- but like, one you wanna eat. Only weird part? The place was empty. I was mentally prepared to elbow my way through a crowd, but nope -- just me, my meal, and some peaceful curry enlightenment. Go here before everyone else finds out.

    Katsu curry spot in shanghai plaza that offers assorted katsu options such as pork and tempura with egg and curry! The servers are attentive and kind, and their shop is clen. For the katsu, sometimes the texture is a bit chewy. And the unagi is good but sometimes it's a bit mush. Overall, the flavors are nice.

    This is a cute, quaint, little eatery located in Shanghai Plaza. Parking as a whole in this complex is gonna be rough whenever you go on a Friday night or the weekend... And we went on a Saturday night! Haha But onto the food rating. It's 5 Stars. Stop reading. You're done. Get here. No but seriously, if you're into curry flavors and fried proteins served over a bed of rice, this is the spot. Yes, we went when there was a grand opening special pricing for the curry plates, but I'd absolutely return to pay full retail ($5 more).

    Chicken Katsu Omurice

    One of the better curry spots in town! The inside was cutely decorated and very calm music was playing - definitely very comfy vibes. The staff were super attentive and kept checking in from time to time. The curry was very flavorful and the katsu was super crispy! I think the curry to rice ratio could be a little better though. Our whole table had so much rice left over on their plates with no more curry. The unagi don was in a nice little bento and was worth getting. It was so juicy and the sauce over the rice just hits really good.

    Pork Katsu and Chicken Katsu curry

    There are few meals more comforting than Japanese Curry. And man, did this place have a good ass curry. Like the restaurant itself; the menu is small. However, that doesn't mean that this place doesn't have anything to offer. For picky kids, there are still items like fries and chicken karaage on the menu. For curry lovers, though, you're in for a treat. You can select a protein, and the meal comes with a full plate of curry and a lovely egg atop a bed of rice. My partner was so into this curry that he'd take a bite, say "god damn," and then go in for his next bite. He LOVED this curry. I liked the variation of flavors and textures in each part of the dish, coalescing into a satisfying meal. The restaurant was very small, and despite it being moderately full at dinner time, it was never too loud. The servers were attentive and ensured our waters were kept nice and full. The price was decent too, practically ensuring a repeat visit. I'm certain i'll be returning.

    It was my first time trying sweet curry rather than spicy and it's now one of my favorite foods. The food is simple, but delicious. Like others said it's never busy in there and I like how quiet and fast it is.

    Chicken Katsu Omelette Curry
    Treshia M.

    Had my eye on this for a while, been seeing their sign of their grand opening deal and decided to try it. It's a very quiet ambiance, I found myself whispering to talk to my table most of the time. It wasn't too busy when my group and I went to try this place, even when it was weekend dinner time. So we were seated pretty quickly. The service I think could be better, my group and I were waiting quite a while for our waiter to return back to our table so that we could order. There was another table that came in later than us and the waiter attended to that table for their order before us. For the food, it wasn't the best if I'm being honest. And I wasn't too happy with how the plate was presented. From the picture, this is how they served the plate to me, it's messy. Their katsu seems like it was pre-made and frozen, it didn't seem fresh. I'm glad I chose not to get the shrimp tempura because it seems like they use the pre-made frozen shrimp tempura and it doesn't look anything like the pictures that are on the menu. I don't have a problem with watery curry, but I didn't expect them to have two spice levels (which is mild and hot spicy, which they only had mild on this day). I got the mild curry and it was just very bland. The egg omelette was ok, nothing special about it. Overall, I think this place was ok. I don't think this would be the top of my reccommendations for Japanese curry places in Vegas but atleast I tried it.

    C1
    Sophia L.

    We came at 1:30PM on Friday, not busy at all. The parking lot is always busy though lol. We both got the C1, came with curry, rice, omurice. The rice was fluffy. The curry was slightly thinner than what you would expect at Curryzen. The egg was nicely cooked. For the both of us, price came out to $32, including taxes and convenience fee ($1.22). Price doesn't include tip. Overall I enjoyed the food 5/5. Service 4.5/5 (didn't ask for mild or spicy until I got my order).

    Beef Stew Curry Omurice
    Lance P.

    Japanese curry is one of those dishes I could eat everyday and not get tired of it. This place does it right! Simple menu, but they nailed what I look for in curry and what dishes surround them. I came here with friends and almost all of us ordered the chicken katsu curry omurice, with the exception of myself (I ordered the beef stew curry omurice). For about $15 a plate, it's great value and quality. Our table also ordered the corn milk soup and curry fries, both of which were quite nice as well. Service- on point, seated right away (no wait at the time), and attentive throughout. The space is quite small, so if you're planning to dine in I recommend checking in to see seating availability. Overall- 9/10 Will definitely come back. Just note curry is mostly served mild. Spicy option wasn't available when we visited.

    Fish Katsu Bento
    Michael V.

    What a nice little spot... a bit too quiet if that makes any sense... but the service was super friendly and the food is good! The fish Katsu Bento was wonderful! Curry hit the spot and the Katsu wasn't too greasy. Tasty.

    Curry Omu with Shrimp Tempura
    Agnes Y.

    Accidentally tried this Japanese curry house on Christmas Day for lunch because the first three places we tried to get in at 11am had more than an hour wait already, and this place still had tables available. We had a two and a half year old in our party and didn't think she could hold up waiting for so long. Surprisingly, it turned out to be an excellent choice! The restaurant decor is very simple but clean and pleasant. For four adults and a little girl, we ordered an Edamame, a Croquette, an Unagi Don, a Curry Omu with Pork Katsu, a Curry Omu with Shrimp Tempura, and a Curry Omu with Beef Stew. Everything was delicious! Their curry had a very nice flavor to it. The quality of the beef used in the beef stew was very good. And they certainly know how to make deep fried food: the batter was very light and fresh tasting. They seemed to replace their oil often. The Pork Katsu was crispy, juicy and tender. The Shrimp Tempura was crispy and fresh tasting. The Croquettes were also fluffy, crispy, and delicious. The Omu's (omelettes with rice) were really tasty and well-made. The Unagi Don was okay too, just not as outstanding as the Curry Omu's. We ended up ordering another one with Shrimp Tempura. Our little girl ate three big pieces of shrimp tempura. A couple of things they could improve on in my opinion: 1) add spicy levels for the curry, and 2) add a piece of Tamago to the Unagi Don as most restaurants do. Prices are really reasonable and affordable. Service is decent. I wish them well and hope they will thrive. It's a good addition to the Shanghai Plaza.

    Japanese curry cravings? Say less…read more We came in past 11:40 AM on a Monday, and the moment we walked in, the ambiance was already giving "Welcome to Japan" vibes. The restaurant offers a variety of Katsu meals and Japanese curry, so naturally... we had to order TWO meals because apparently one person cannot be trusted around good food. We got the Hire Curry and Hire Katsu, and both were delicious! The breading on the hire was chef's kiss -- crispy, light, and perfectly done. But let me talk about that curry sauce. It was rich, flavorful, and seriously giving authentic Japanese curry vibes. I would honestly come back just for the curry sauce! The staff were super friendly, the restaurant was really clean, and there's plenty of parking, which is always a bonus because nobody wants their first adventure to be a parking-lot survival challenge. The lady was so quick to seat us, probably because we were among the first customers of the day. Monday morning VIP treatment! Overall, we absolutely enjoyed our meal and would 100% come back the next time we're in Vegas. Thank you for opening your doors and sharing your cooking with us! Definitely worth a visit if you're craving some good Japanese Katsu and curry!

    In search of cold soba noodles, Tora Katsu & Curry came up in my search. We arrived on a Friday…read moreevening around 5:30 pm and the restaurant had only one party already dining. I was a bit disappointed with how empty the restaurant was honestly. Our initial waitress was friendly and personable. She initially seated up and took our orders. But there must have been a shift change because a different waitress took over. We thought the first one had left, but eventually did see she was still present. * Pork Rosu Katsu & Soba Combo $25.99 - We got two orders of this and it was just okay. When you order the combo, you don't get the rice or soup. The Little Gal ate the soba and I ate the katsu. It was okay, but just okay. They do give you sesame seeds to grind yourself like other katsu places in town. The Little Guy ate his dish and was fine with it. I did notice that my dish was missing something compared to my son's. I pointed out the missing potato croquette and they had to get me a new one. * Wagyu Katsu (new item) - The Husband had initially planned on ordering the Menchi Katsu but they were offering this new item instead to replace it. He thought it was only okay. They don't do refills on the salad or anything unfortunately. It's really hard to get the servers' attention as they are behind the counter and it appears to be blocked. (Unless they can see us, but we can't see them. Either way, we can't see if anyone is available.). No one noticed that I kept turning around and waiting for assistance when we needed more sauce, the check, etc. This was super frustrating considering there was were only two parties dining the whole time we there. Overall, the whole experience was underwhelming. The food and service were only okay. We ended up going to another Japanese restaurant after for more bites and dessert, and just a better experience overall to close out our evening.

Lullabar is a Thai fusion restaurant that has some Japanese flair mixed in. If that doesn't make sense, think of a Thai tapas spot to drink and have some small shares plates and some traditional Thai dishes. I tried some "dong" dishes that were raw marinated. Think Korean raw marinated crab but with Thai flavors. They had shrimp and salmon. They were so good! Idk why more people aren't talking about them. Also had pork jerky, their short rib boat noodles, and the spicy basil clams which were delicious. They have a zodiac menu of drinks and I did Scorpio which was fun. Their matcha tiramisu was also delicious. I hope more people find out about this!

We're trying to find something late to get something to eat for the final stretch of the drive. With the help of Yelp, gf found this. Didn't expect to have this kind of vibe because we were in driving mode. But you can tell this place gets popping when it busy in Vegas. There were some people there , and one big group eating and drinking. But it was late and you can tell they were winding down. The service was good from what we remember. The food was good. We go to a lot of Thai places and while the food didn't stand out , it was still good to our liking. But the atmosphere of the restaurant is what more so we will be coming back especially since we come to Vegas for trips in large groups and always hungry and frequent this area after late night outings. Not to mention they do kareoke there and my gf side being Asian and loves kareoke just like I do. Even more of a reason to bring more friends and family next time we're in town.

But honestly, sometimes that makes you think, "Okay... if it looks like this, the food MUST be bomb." And thankfully, it was! When we first walked in, we checked ourselves in through the Yelp waitlist, but nobody greeted us or explained what to do. As first-timers, that was a little off-putting because we weren't even sure if we had checked in correctly. Eventually we were seated, though, and once someone attended to us, everything moved pretty quickly. We ordered the spicy umami ramen, garlic edamame, and nigori sake. For our son, we ordered the veggie ramen but asked if they could make it super simple with just the noodles, broth, and corn because he is VERY picky. They were totally accommodating, which we really appreciated. Now THE RAMEN. My first bite was honestly like, "Okay, this isn't bad." But then I kept eating it...and the flavor just kept opening up. Then we took a sip of the nigori sake, went back to the ramen, and OMG. It completely changed the experience. The spice was SO GOOD. It's the kind that catches you in the back of your throat before it even hits your tongue. It might have you coughing for a second, but somehow you're coughing while immediately going back in for another bite because YOU CAN'T STOP EATING IT. The flavor just builds and builds. So good! And the biggest win? OUR SON ATE HIS RAMEN. He actually really enjoyed it, which is huge for us because now ramen officially goes on the list of foods we can all go out and eat as a family! As far as atmosphere, this isn't really a fancy date-night spot. It's more of a casual ramen joint where I'd come with family, friends, or coworkers when I just want some really good food. The only thing keeping this from five stars for me was the service experience. Not being greeted or told how the waitlist worked was confusing as a first-time customer, and there wasn't much checking back once we had our food. If that doesn't matter to you, then honestly, you're good to go because THE FOOD DELIVERS. Overall, four stars and definitely recommended. Come for the ramen, don't expect a whole meet-and-greet situation , and prepare yourself for that spicy umami because it was BOMB.
