Decent curry spot. You order at the till, pay and find a spot to sit. Curry is very comforting and delicious. I got the tonkatsu and it crispy but on the drier side. Filling meal for under $20.
Used to work in this area and there's almost ALWAYS a line during lunch hours. You know they're a legit store when you can smell the curry a block away which is also impressive cuz the store is pretty tiny. I love this spot because their portions are massive and they're so affordable with a curry about $15ish. There's also so many customization in terms of topping, spice level and rice portion.
We stopped here after a chilly hike and it was so pleasant!! Warm, hearty meal with friendly and informative staff!! Large selections of food, spice levels, and even matcha!!
we tried their curry during their 5th anniversary promotion we like how we could choose the level if spiciness of the curry We tried the goku uma beef curry on promotion as well as the stamina don (sliced pork). we really like the curry and the sauce was authentic and tasty. However the stamina don has a lot of ground pepper which was a bit overpowering but overall, it is a curry hidden gem. I will go back to try the chicken katsu curry
I was randomly doing chores around cambie street when I stumbled into this place. The smell of curry (which reminds me of places like CoCo Ichibanya in Japan) tempted me to order the tonkatsu ($15.5) plus omu cheese ($5.5) at level 4 spicy ($0.3). I was slightly taken aback when the foods come out since portion is way bigger than expected (enough for 2 meals for me). First off, the curry was really good and had that little bit of sweetness and spiced profile that's common in Japanese curry. The melted cheese and egg also add a nice creaminess to the dish, while tonkatsu was fine but didn't really stand out. If I have some feedback it would have to do with the rice being somewhat dry and the spiciness level still being very low despite ordering the spiciest level. All in all, a good comfort food meal. Will come back when I crave Japanese curry.
Mr Japanese Curry is a nice little gem tucked away on West 8th Street. The restaurant is small, but I didn't find obtaining seats an issue. The restaurant offers quickly prepared Japanese style curry dishes at affordable prices with fresh ingredients. I ordered the Ebi curry and enjoyed it. I'd love to come back when I'm in the area again.
Many curry options (beef/chicken/veg/tonkatsu) and spicy level options . Not many seats so consider takeout . Fast service. Had Tonkatsu curry: Katsu was a good portion a bit dry. Curry sauce ok a bit mustard-y for me. Rice ok and decent amount of rice.
So happy to find this delightful little place for Japanese curry! Found it by accident and out of curiosity on one of those cold and damp Vancouver days. This place really hit the spot! We were greeted and she explained of how to order. We can pick from the available menu and we can have add-ons as well like ebi, croquette, chicken karaage. I asked for recommendation and she told me that her favourite were the beef curry and the pork katsu. We went ahead with the recommendation and added chicken karaage. The beef curry was very good and has a balanced flavour and has a bit of sweetness, which is what I preferred. My lovely date, Mr Hubby, thought the pork katsu was cooked perfectly and the curry went very well with it, there's a bit of tang that cuts richness of the pork. If there's one thing though, I would preferred the beef to be a bit more tender though it's fine as it is. The karaage was not bad, I'd prefer a bit stronger seasoning, I found the karaage was very mild in flavour. The rice that go with the plate was a lot for me, I would order with less rice next time. Parking may be a hassle as that area has been quite busy lately specially being the holiday season. I would probably would have it to go next time as the space was quite small.
Tiny takeout spot that has a few seats indoors serving so far the best Japanese curry from a restaurant I've had in a while. If you have travelled in Japan, or make your own Japanese curry from scratch (not from the cubes of roux), this will likely not compare, but relative to other versions I've tried so far, this is pretty good! The portions are generous. I opted for less rice (you get a $1 discount) and even then, it was a lot. The extra side of Katsu was good, but would have benefited from some seasoning prior to dredging and frying. I didn't see it, but I wish they'd offer the option of adding some shredded cabbage "salad" and also the fukujinzuke pickles (special pickles typically eaten with Japanese curry). I understand that it's an extra expense to add for free, especially if most people don't know it, but for me, it would have been something I would gladly paid extra to have. Overall, a very filling, well priced fast lunch or dinner.
I had a very nice experience at this little Japanese curry shop! They have lots of options (multiple vegan options) and the curries are highly customizable so you can really build your ideal meal. I particularly like that you can adjust the amount of rice and that you can change the sauce, so it would theoretically be possible to get a seafood curry with the vegan base instead of the default chicken bass so you could have a true pescatarian curry. I went with the vegetable curry and enjoyed it a lot! The gravy was richly flavoured but smooth, and I liked the assortment of vegetables. I'm not a frequent consumer of Japanese curry but this was probably the best one I've tried - something about the sauce was very memorable. I also tried their matcha tiramisu which was also pretty good, which you might not expect from a little curry restaurant! It seems like they used a good matcha - the flavour was strong but not bitter. This was all quite reasonably priced - the total was about $18 including tax. Along with the good food, the staff was very hospitable. They provided me with a glass of water and were very eager to help me feel comfortable. Although it looks like mostly a takeout place, the dine-in experience is pleasant since the staff is so nice and you can get your food on an actual plate instead of a takeout container. Very much recommend for some good Japanese curry!
Been eyeing this newish place for a while as it is nice to have another Japanese curry option. Tonight, I was looking at the board sign on the sidewalk and trying to figure out the menu. A friendly staff came out to welcome me and helped answer questions and explain the many combos and add-ons. Something I thought was so simple was actually overwhelming which is a good thing. There are 3 types of curry sauces: beef, chicken and vegan. With the help of the staff. I selected the beef curry with slice pork (Stamina Curry). I was informed the beef curry was richer and more pungent. The curry sauces uses over 17 different spices and you can certainly taste the spices. Comparing to other Japanese curries, Mr Japanese Curry was the spiciest. Surprised but still enjoyed my meal. Loved the fried onions as it added a nice texture. The rice was perfectly cooked and soaked up the sauce nicely. For $12.95, it was a good price for a quick take-out dinner. Would like to try the Tonkatsu or Chicken Katsu curry for next time.
We were pleased to come across the delicious aromas wafting from this curry shop on a rainy Friday evening around supper time. Location is opposite the Winners on West 8th near Cambie. We were welcomed in by a friendly staff member who politely asked if we needed help picking a curry and then gave us excellent advice in our selection. We chose the beef curry medium spiced which comes with a good portion of rice. In addition we got a pumpkin croquette. The curry was thick and rich with tender beef, we both really liked it and would order the same again. If you're used to Fujiya curry, you'll love the taste of this and the variety of other curries available including vegan and vegetarian. It's not as large a portion but the quality is good and it's a different experience being a restaurant. Really hope this new business survives - it's a tasty option on a cold night.
I am so excited to try a new Japanese curry joint! I stopped by during their soft opening and they only have take out options (they open for Dine in on June 12th) I got the curry rice with chicken karaage and added 1 pumpkin croquette The flavors for the chicken was pretty good, it was well marinated and seasoned Since this was a take out order, I would recommend that they use a container that could separate the curry from the fried foods and rice so that the fried items don't get all soggy after our car ride home I am excited to come back to dine in!
This spot is cozy and great for a solo date. Order at the til, pay and your food will be brought to your table. If you don't order a drink, a cup of water will come with your meal. Choose your level of spice when ordering. Grab your own cutlery and napkins on the shelf before sitting down. This was my 2nd time here and I tried their beef curry (stewed beef), which is supposedly one of their most popular dishes. This dish was just ok...the beef wasn't as tender as I would've liked. The curry was flavourful but a tad on the salty side. It was good when mixed in with rice. I added a pumpkin croquette for $3 and it was crispy and delicious, I would definitely order this again. read more

It successfully delivers on what it promises. I saw that they had a bunch of vegan options, and thus my wife and I decided to try them out for lunch. I put in an order online for pick-up and it was waiting for me upon arrival. They were slammed and don't have a good system for pick-up orders; I saw my bag sitting by the window, so rather than waiting in line, I just grabbed my box and told the cashier it was mine after she objected. You gotta sort that system out. -I got the curry quinoa salad ($5 plus tax) to start, which comes with salad leaves, baby corn, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and a little quinoa that is richly curried, along with a nice vegan dressing. Very solid side salad. 4/5 -My wife and I split the tofu katsu curry ($12 plus tax), and added some vegetables ($4 plus tax) on the side. The tofu was nicely deeply fried, but quickly became overbearing in its heaviness. We got this one at level 3 spicy, and it had just a touch of spiciness. I'd go for level 4 (the max) next time. The side of veggies was a tasty addition. 4/5 -We also got the pumpkin croquette curry ($11.49 plus tax), which comes with two large, deep fried pumpkin balls. Like with the tofu katsu, they're very heavy, but tasty. I had meant to order this one at level 4 spiciness, but it came at level 1, so it was mild; but the curry is very tasty. 4/5 All in all, decent spot for a casual, heavy fried lunch. I can't imagine I'll eat here often, though there are non- / less fried options (like the vegetable curry we got, as well as the vegan katsu don. Reasonably priced, though you're largely paying for the curry sauce and steamed white rice in addition to whatever main/protein you get. Good spot for Japanese curry. read more

Walking into here felt like we were walking into a restaurant in Japan. Small store with phenomenal service. We know this is legit when we were able to smell the curry from a block away. We tried the beef curry and the chicken curry and we were beyond satisfied. Both the curries were packed with flavours; however, if you prefer a stronger curry taste, definitely go with the beef curry. The chicken katsu had a light flaky exterior and it was very moist on the inside. Although it was deep fried, it wasn't heavy. Kinda like Japan! Not sure if it's just us, but everything tastes healthier in Japan, even their deep fried foods! We also got the Mr.Curry (beef curry), which came with grilled pork, fried shrimp, a hard boil egg, and melted cheese! we've never had grilled pork with curry, but it was delicious! Cooked to perfection and it worked well with the beef curry. We also tried their pumpkin croquette, highly recommend the add on. We love the flexibility of customization, just like Japan. you can adjust the amount of rice, there were 4 spice levels to choose from, and the option to get extra curry sauce! If you want to try some authentic Japanese curry in Vancouver, look no further. Covid Protocols: There were only 2 tables since it's a very small store. The employees try their best to keep their distance from the customers. You are required to pay/place an order with the cashier (with plexiglass divider) first.

Thank you for liking your curry. Next time you come in, you can…
This place has such a variety when it comes to Japanese curry. From beef, to pork to even vegetarian ones, there is definitely one for everyone. * #3 beef curry ($14.75) ~ this was rich and flavourful. The brisket was well seasoned but I did wish it was a bit softer as the meat was a bit tough. But overall the curry was so rich and paired well with the rice. 6.5/10. * #11 Pumpkin croquette curry ($14) ~ my favourite curry here. It was so good and flavourful and is made with coconut milk so it's very fragrant and rich. The pumpkin croquette was crunchy and so Good. The pumpkin purée inside was smooth and delicious. 9/10. * #5 tonkatsu curry ($14.75) ~ the tonkatsu was crispy, juicy and the battery was perfectly seasoned and crisped. The curry was nice and flavourful I loved the garlic on the rice too it paired nice with the pork curry for sure. 7/10. * Overall the vegetarian curry was my favourite here and I highly recommend it. read more

Thank you for coming and I'm glad you like your food. Next time you…
I love curry, any kind of curry, so when I found this place on the "hot new businesses" section I needed to check it out. It is across the street from Winners, if I'm not mistaken it used to be a donair place but I'm not sure. Looking at the website they use 17 different spices and use premium rice. When I walked in the guy at the counter offered me some suggestions and walked me thru the menu. I ended up getting the beef curry with no. 2 level spice. The flavour was good and the beef was tender with a bit of fat in it (it might have even been brisket?), I do think they could have a been a bit more generous with the beef, the spice level was perfect for me, not too spicy but with a good kick in the end. They also offer a vegan option as well. I think there was 2 tables in there with a good space in between for social distancing. I ordered takeout. There is pay parking outside. The staff was friendly and I'll be back to try out different items next time...... read more
I am a fan because They opened during the Covid Pandemic of 2020. I am a fan because This is a true Japanese owned and run Curry shop that provides Japanese style curry for takeout. I am a fan because The quality is good I am a fan because The staff here, provide good service. I am a fan because I can't wait to see them get better and better as they learn and grow their experience. To see them develop a product that already has a good following. I am a fan because I wish to see them do well in this community. I am a fan because I love curry and I know there is potential for being even better as time goes on. Let's cheer these small businesses and support our local communities rather than those big giant food chains with no personality. Check out my video review on YouTube. read more
Craving Japanese curry? Passing through the Vancouver City Hall area? Well, look no further! Mr Japanese Curry's got your back for this one. Like a lot of other pleasant discoveries in my life, I happened to stumble upon this small, order-at-the-front, fast-food-type restaurant while driving past on the way to work and thought I should go check it out. Finally, I had the chance to go with a fellow food-loving friend a few weeks ago. Since there's no parking out front, we parked a few blocks away and didn't mind the walk. Upon entering, we were immediately seated among the limited small tables within the restaurant. Needless to say, I am happy to report that Mr Japanese Curry is indeed legit. The unique and distinguishable flavours were evident throughout the dishes, reminding me of the days where I used to walk the streets of Osaka in search of my next meal. The plating and presentation is as good as it gets, and the quality of ingredients is solid. Service was friendly and fast as can be. It's an open kitchen so you can see them do their work. Price point is a little bit high for my liking, but I think that reflects the quality of ingredients used. The portion size was what you'd expect from a decent curry shop, although I left wanting just a little more, but reasonably satisfied. Items we ordered include: chicken curry with a piece of aji fry, tonkatsu, and pumpkin croquette beef curry with tonkatsu If I had to be picky, one thing that I do think needs a little improvement is time in the fryer. I feel like the last piece of tonkatsu I ate, which was the fattiest part, could've sat in the fryer just a tiiiiiiny bit longer to get the fat more rendered down and smooth instead of chewy. Also, I found the meat of the tonkatsu to be bland and requiring more seasoning. Other than that, though, I gotta say overall I am impressed with Mr Japanese Curry. The chicken and beef curries were smooth, very tasteful, and served with generous accompaniments of rice. I like my spice, so asked for a fairly high spice level which turned out perfectly. My favourite, and must-try, dish was the pumpkin croquette - that was absolutely delicious! And I'm not a vegan or vegetarian by any means. Perfectly crispy on the outside and smooth on the inside. Paired with the excellent curry and some rice, and my night was made. Also, would strongly recommend the aji fish fry, which was prepared just the right. Surprisingly, the tonkatsu was my least favourite thing, but it was still decent. Mr Japanese Curry, I will be back! There's tons of other options to try. I'll get around to all of them... Eventually. Support this local business! read more
A little hole in the wall find! We got one beef curry and one tonkatsu chicken curry and they were both absolutely delicious!! You can customize the amount of spice and every bite was filled with flavour. There is not much seating space with no patio so there might be a bit of a wait. Will definitely be coming back here for more. read more

This place is a GEM for that in-japan nostalgia and Japanese curry lovers! Authentic Japanese Curry with BIG portions for a good DEAL, I can't say more. It was so good, that I wish I could have it every day. Their curry base is imported from Japan so apparently many Japanese students are surprised it tastes just like back home! So far, I tried their Menchi Katsu Curry and Stamina Curry! Hamburger steak curry is my favourite type of curry because it's very comforting! The Menchi Katsu Curry's hamburger steak is fried though so the outside is crispy but the inside still has lots of favour. Their curry sauce is just so SAVOURY and full of UMAMI! If you are HUNGRY, then get the Stamina Curry instead! It is super BIG and for sure will energize you up! All their curries have added on options so you can stack Karaage, Pumpkin Croquette etc to your curry. Stamina Curry is the best base to be to pile up those add ons to me. They got me with the Matcha Pudding for the Combo Up! Add $4.99 to get either a Matcha Vegan Pudding or Mango Pudding and a Drink of Choice! (I recommend the yogurt calpis one) I liked the Matcha Vegan Pudding a lot I know it might seem like a costly add on but their options are interesting and each item is a delight. Their owner is very energetic and upbeat, the customer service is good. Although it's small and current only has two seats, it's one of those gems that I am willing to travel on purpose to try again! read more

Ever since we visited Japan and had the most amazing Japanese curry at CoCo Ichibanyan, I've been dying to find a really good Japanese curry place in Vancouver. Recently, Mr. Japanese Curry opened up in the Mount Pleasant area of Vancouver so I had high hopes. The first thing that I noticed when I walked by this shop was the immediate aroma of curry wafting in the air - a good sign. This little shop does have a couple of seats inside but it's probably a better idea to grab your food to go if you're dining with a big party. Like the curry shops in Japan, the menu is pretty straight forward with options to customize things like the amount of rice that you want, the spice level, and add-ons. I opted for the Beef Curry ($11.99 with $0.10 for L2 spice) and added a Pumpkin Croquette ($1.79). The spice level isn't too spicy so you don't have to worry much unless you opt for something really spicy. I was kinda hoping for something similar to the hashed beef curry I had at CoCo Ichibanyan but instead, this was just straight-up cubed beef in curry sauce. Still, it wasn't bad. The beef was a bit fatty but tender (guessing it was brisket?) and the pumpkin croquette was fried up nicely with a crisp exterior encasing the soft and fluffy pumpkin on the inside. The curry sauce itself was a deep brown colour and was perfect to pair with the plain white rice. Overall, it's pretty good but I would love to see some more options like hashed beef curry, beef and/or chicken meatballs, and soft-boiled eggs to top everything off. read more
During these pandemic times, we ordered take out. We tried the Tonkatsu in mild Chicken Curry, Fish in Chicken Curry - spice level 1, and the 'Stamina Curry' (sliced pork in Beef Curry). First the curry: rich and full bodied curry. The mild still had a bit of spice, but the lingering back of mouth heat was more apparent with the spice level 1 curry. There was a unique flavour to the curry and with the visit to try. The tonkatsu (pork cutlet) had a thin breading and perhaps due to take out, was not as crispy as expected. The pork was inconsistent in its tenderness and needs more seasoning. The fish (mackerel) was butterflied and deboned. Breaded in panko left a softer fry instead of crispy. The Stamina curry was a nice combo of thinly sliced pork with a robust beef curry. Quite satisfying. All curries served on Japanese rice and fried garlic which went nicely with the curries. Newly opened, so there may be some tweaking to be done to the breading process. Nice, friendly gents will greet you when you arrive. Online ordering available. read more
Mr. Japanese curry was amazing in my opinion. You should maximise the spicyness trust me it is the best!!! The beef curry isn't really good though in my opinion and the tonkatsu curry is way better! The mr curry is the best!! This is the curry you should get for the first try because it is super good! Nevertheless, I will come back and try its other menu and let you guys know how it is! Cheers recommended! read more

Thank you for coming and I'm glad you like your Curry. Next time you…
This place isn't very big for sit down and dining. I would recommend calling ahead of time to place your order for take out. There curry is very authentic and comes in three different styles and spice level. The price is very reasonable. read more

This is a legit hole in the wall restaurant with roughly 4 tiny tables of 2 and about 4 stool seats by the window. It's busy with takeout and a great place for a no frills dine in experience with delicious curry menu items. Staff are so friendly and great you with a big smile! The portions, especially the rice, are substantial and made our bellies very happy. Would definitely return! read more

From a block away, you can smell the curry emanating from this place which got me looking forward to my order. Tried the beef curry and I upgraded to the 2nd spice level. I also ordered the pumpkin croquette. The rice is a bit too gummy. I don't know if it's because it's take out so it took me 15-20 minutes to get to it. The curry itself is pretty heavy. The curry itself was just so so for me. I'm not sure but it just did not hit the spot. Maybe I'll try the chicken curry next time. The beef pieces could be more tender. I liked the garlic bits on top of the rice. The add on pumpkin croquette was the highlight. I'm glad I got this. It's still crispy and inside was creamy and full of pumpkin. It goes so well with the curry sauce. Overall, not the best curry but I would be open to trying other curry types. read more
