First time coming here and honestly, this was a "everything else is closed on a Monday" kind of win. I was on the hunt for noodles in Steveston, but when most places had their doors shut, Oretachi Curry saved the day. The spot is cozy and no-frills, and the curry was very good like surprisingly filling. One of those meals where you think you'll need a snack later... and then you absolutely don't. Bonus points for the super cool staff friendly, welcoming, and just good vibes all around. What started as a backup plan turned into a solid food win. Definitely coming back next time Steveston ghosts me on a Monday read more

We were craving for Japanese curry, so we found this place to try. The restaurant is spacious for a Japanese restaurant. The servers are all nice and friendly. There was no lineup, so we were seated right away. The food was definitely on the salty side, which we couldn't enjoy much. My daughter ordered the kids menu which comes with sausages in curry and some cabbages. She had a few bites and refused to eat it. I had to sure my food with her. The sausage was really salty, not to mention dipping into curry which is also salty. I order the chicken cutlet curry with small size of rice. The rice was very tasty, apparently they only use Japanese rice. Chicken cutlet was nice and moist, however, the curry was pretty salty, typical Japanese style. The pork cutlet and fried shrimp were crunchy, pretty standard. The soap bottle in their bathroom is broken, and I'm not sure why they won't change it right away, and the dispenser part no longer exists. It's pretty hard to use, same as the motion detected faucet, is not set up properly. I personally wouldn't go back, however, if you are accustomed the Japanese curry taste, this might be the place to visit. read more

We ordered take out for lunch and we all enjoyed it. Most of us got the Chicken cutlet curry and it was still very crispy and moist for takeout food. The beef tendon was good too. The portion is not that big but Japanese food isn't known for big portions so that's ok. You can pay more to get more rice and you can adjust the spice level as well. Regular was not spicy at all for me. read more

Little disappointed with this place. I was hoping it would be like curry house in Tokyo & Honolulu but it wasn't. Also the portion size was not that big considering we all had large. We paid over $130. Parking & wait time was horrible. read more

Most authentic Japanese curry from Japan! I crave curry every once in a while and I cook at home, try places around. This is by far the best curry I've had outside of japan. I chatted with the staff all from Japan, and decided to order spicy tonkatsu curry with extra prawns. I had ebi fry craving but wanted to try number one seller. They have eggplant curry, natto curry, etc that sound really good I want to try next. The curry is moderately spicy but I like the heat that go really well with mild flavor of deep fried toppings. Fukujinduke which is sweet pickled daikon radish is also the good accompaniment. Very traditional, full of flavor and never tired type of curry I'm glad that they opened the restaurant in Richmond. I would love them to open restaurants in US next! What I am always impressed about restaurants from Japan are great staff, quality ingredients, cleanliness, consistency and authenticity. Keep up your great job! read more

Wow! What an amazing experience. I never thought I'd find authentic Japanese curry right un my own backyard. This establishment is supposedly a branch from the one in Osaka, Japan. The curry is light and flavourful. Just like the one in Japan. The pork cutlet, right ration between fat and lean meat. The texture was tender and juicy. Very similar to japan. The only thing not exactly like Japan is the panko breadcrumbs used. Don't get me wrong, despite this it was still good. Very good. Better than majority of the Japanese places in Vancouver. Tried both the pork and chicken cutlet and Portions come in regular and large. I must say, even the regular is good enough. Right amount of meat and rice and sauce. Place was clean and service was quick and with a smile. 1 thing i didn't like was no free house tea provided. Just cold water. This is not very Japanese-like. Overall, i would repeat. Cheers! Happy eating! read more

A friend recently suggested we go to Oretachi Curry - a franchise originally from Osaka, Japan. I was super excited for this as I love Japanese curry due to its sweetness in nature. The restaurant is located in Steveston Village and is quite small and cozy. I noticed right after we sat that it immediately began to busy up with lots of people waiting for a seat. The (who I assumed to be) owner was super sweet and even brought out glasses of tea for the parties who were waiting outside. I love seeing little gestures like this, it really brightens my day! Since it was my first time, I opted for a classic pork katsu curry. The menu has a variety of different protein choices and also curry ramen choices as well. I like that you can choose plate size (size up for additional cost) and also spice level. There is also a large variety of add-ons for select prices. Do take note that your order only comes with rice, curry, and whichever protein listed on the menu...No veggies or any additional toppings. I was a bit sad that green onion costed $2.50 to add on...I opted for the onsen egg which costed the same. There is however, complimentary tonkatsu sauce, spice seasoning, and pickles (I went to town on the pickles :)). The curry is VERY yummy!!! It definitely caters more to my tastebuds as it is umami and sweet!! The katsu is also decent and was still cripsy even with curry sauce mixed over top. My friend prefers savoury flavours more so she added a sausage ($5) and it was perfect for her! We both picked the small size curry and it was enough food for the both of us. I recommend sizing up if you are feeling extra hungry or you like lots of rice. Overall, I would definitely return whenever I'm craving curry but I probably wouldn't frequent this place all the time as I usually love having a complete meal with all food groups etc. I can hear my bf telling me "you don't pay for vegetables when you eat out that's not worth it" so this is a good place to bring someone who "does not pay for vegetables" LOL. Service is also lovely and staff are very attentive. Note: It does get busy during peak hours as the restaurant is small so be prepared to wait! read more

We came for an early Saturday dinner ~6:30pm to avoid the crowd. We were seated right away. The restaurant is small but cozy, feels like I was in Japan on a cold winter night. We ordered the Fried Oyster Ebi Miso Curry Ramen and their signature Pork Cutlet Curry Rice. The food came quite quicky. The fried oyster in the curry ramen was hot and tasted sweet, but that's about the only positive thing about that dish. The so call "Ebi" were just dried shrimp flakes. The signature pork cutlet rice on the other hand was 5/5. The flavor of the curry sauce, the sauce VS rice ratio, the size of the pork cutlet were all perfect imo. I'd recommend their signature pork cutlet curry rice and nothing else. read more

There are only about 9 tables of 2 with a couple combined to make tables of 4, and a couple of window bar seats for people watching. They do not take reservations so come early or off times unless you like waiting in line. Turn over doesn't seem that long as most come for the food and don't stay that long to hang. For my first visit, I had the Pork Cutlet Curry with sized-up to Medium (an extra +100g of rice and +90ml curry), for an extra $2.50. The pork cutlet, was perfectly deep fried, tender and moist. The curry was deliciously smooth with a hint of sweetness. The short grain rice, cooked perfectly. I chose to size-up to Medium so I can compare it with my peers' Small versions. I have to admit, I couldn't tell the difference even with the extra 100g/90g (rice/curry). I did notice that the pork cutlet I received was much smaller compared to my other 4 fellow first timers. Just the luck of the draw, I suppose. Super friendly Japanese service and amazing Japanese curry. That hits the spot perfectly. read more

Very cute little Japanese curry shop in Steveston. The space is not very large but there is still a decent amount of seating and everything is nicely decorated. We went early on a Friday at 4PM so there was basically no one else there. The curry was delicious. It was kind of sweet which was interesting. The cutlets were also very crispy and well cooked. I liked that they have different size options and the small size was perfect for me. It is a bit on the expensive side and I think I personally prefer other Japanese curry places more (like Saku). Overall a pleasant experience and the service was nice but the place didn't feel too special. read more

Decent Japanese fair. Nothing to write home about I terms of flavor or ambiance. Service was reasonably quick and the prices were a little high for the quality you get. It's worth a revisit if I was in the area and craving Japanese curry but not something I'd go out of my way to try again. Would I recommend? Sure give it a try. read more

The curry is really good. It's flavorful but as it is a japanese curry, the curry flavor is mild in a good way. The pork katsu has nice bread crumbs. It's crispy and nice but the best part of the meal is the curry sauce. The portion is large for the price. I almost didn't finish it. The restaurant is quite small but has a nice interior. read more

This cozy, cute shop has 3.4 stars, in my opinion. I was in the area and decided to try it out. You can order via QR code on the table or from their menu. Their menu focuses on curries and ramen. I tried the chicken cutlet miso ramen, but unfortunately, I wasn't a fan. The broth was very thick and quite salty, more like a sauce than a traditional Japanese ramen soup. Perhaps it's supposed to be this way. I would have preferred to get a curry with rice instead or have a traditional japanese soupy ramen. My husband enjoyed the hayashi rice with an added pork cutlet, and the portion size was good. The kids' meal shows, for children 12 and under, but unless your child is a very light eater, it's too small for most 8-12 year olds. It comes with a small scoop of rice and a decent amount of curry, but it's more suited for 2-4 years old. I could have ordered extra rice for my kids if I'd known, but I didn't realize the rice portion would be so small. I did add poached egg to the kids' meals. The entree hayashi rice came with a good amount of rice, so we just gave some to the kids. Honestly, I probably wouldn't return. read more

A Japanese curry place in Steveston Village with a good amount of seating. We came here at opening on a weekend so there was still plenty of room available. They also have an outdoor seating area which I think will be quite nice during the summer. I ordered the pork cutlet curry while R ordered the beef tendon curry. Both were delicious with lots of flavour and we are excited to be back! read more

Dropped by as I was in the area and was pleasantly surprised to find available tables as I had heard it was a small shop and busy. I ordered the pork cutlet curry rice, small, with regular spice. I should preface this to say I'm not a huge fan of Japanese curries, but I quite enjoyed this one! Usually there are chopped up potatoes, carrots etc in Japanese curries but this one was smooth which I preferred. For being a small, I found it a bit tough to finish so thought the portion size was very reasonable. The cutlet was super light and crispy and 10/10. They only provide you with a spoon but it was easy to cut through the tender cutlet with a spoon. They were great with topping up my water without being asked. Next time I'd like to try their curry udon or hiyashi curry! read more

Interesting small curry shop First time coming to a Japanese curry specialty shop here in BC. -- there are not that many around. I've heard good things about this place from colleagues and decided to give it a shot. It's easy to find cause of the signs that directed you that way and the small lineups there, but parking isn't super convenient. The shop is small but turnover is relatively quick, so we didn't have to wait too long before we are seated. Menu is medium sized with a decent variety of items. I like how there's a kid friendly (non spicy) version for all curry. The fried items were amazing. Fresh, and crunchy. The curry flavor however is just standard. Very similar to the packaged Japanese curry cubes that you can buy from grocery stores. Not saying it's bad, just nothing out of the ordinary. To be honest, I came for japanese curry, and they delivered. I probably shouldn't expect anything out if the world. Anyways overall pretty good experience. Servers were nice, food was pretty. I'll likely be back again. I would recommend the rice with more heat for anyone who just wants to try one dish and nothing else. Food 7. Service 8. Ambiance 7. Value 7.5 read more

Good spot if you're craving for katsu curry. Online take out ordering was easy and you can pay at the restaurant if you want to. The containers have separate compartments. Katsu breading was good, the pork loin was fine. There are some bits I couldn't chew through. The regular curry is a little bit too sweet for me, I would probably go up a step in spiciness to add more dimension. I got small but there is plenty of curry for the amount of rice. read more

Nice find in downtown Steveston. They opened in November 2023. Japanese run and a cute touch of interior and the food was pretty good. Weekend special - they offer Japanese breakfast brunch (mackeral, miso soup, beef, rice, soft egg, seaweed). The curry was light, the meat was light and crispy. Enjoyed our lunch here. Small portion size was just right. read more

Tastes and feels (ambiance) just like Japan. Everything is 10/10 here, from food to service. They even have a bottle of Febreze fabric spray by the door for you to use. You can scan the QR code on your table to place your order. They also provide a physical menu and you can place an order the "basic"/traditional way via server. We went around 2pm on a rainy Saturday and there were lots of empty tables so everything was quick. Food came pretty much instantly and they were attentive with constantly refilling our water. read more

Just an average food (4 different dishes), nothing special. Kind of disappointed. Service was great but we will not go back again.

delicious curry with rice! small venue so there may be a wait at times. servers are very efficient.
