    I really enjoyed my meal here! It's cozy, and very welcoming. The portion is big and the croquette was delicious too! I ate it so fast that I forgot to take a photo of it. Service is super good and extremely fast

    Finally tried out Oretachi Curry, which specializes in Osaka style Japanese curry. They have a second location in Richmond. This branch is a few doors down from Nui. Most dishes are $16.50 to $22.00. You can upgrade to medium ($2.50) or large ($6.50). Portions lean towards the small side. Make sure to try their fukujinzuke (pickles). - Beef slice curry ($17.00) - beef was tender and flavourful. Curry itself was well balanced. More rice would be nice at this price point - Beef curry udon ($17.00 small) - broth had good depth. Same beef slices as the ones in the curry rice - Chicken cutlet ebi miso curry ramen ($21.00)

    Hands down my FAVORITE food spot in Vancouver. I could not speak more highly of this restaurant. You do have to fill out a waitlist board if it's busy, but you usually get a seat quickly! The location is small, but I don't mind how cozy it feels. Service is great, people are kind, location is right next to the park... food is DELICIOUS - what more could you ask for? I highly recommend the chicken ramen curry - chicken is tender, broth is flavorful, all the ingredients tie together perfectly. If you're feeling rice, the chicken rice curry is amazing as well. For dessert my partner and I got the matcha cake - it was light, flavorful, just the right amount of dessert after a meal. You can tell all their food is made with love. Will not stop recommending this place to people if they're nearby!

    Really good curry place. Flavour is really good, just right, not too light and not too strong. Hint: they let you upgrade the size but medium is enough. Hint2: add the pickles. I had chicken cutlet curry. Chicken is great - tender yet crispy. The curry is really great esp flavour. I added eggplant and LOVED the eggplant. Really really good. My wife got the eel ramen which was great too. Would definitely come back for this curry.

    We tried the Oretachi curry in Steveston in the past. Now we have tried the one on Main Street. We were lucky dining in for dinner without lining up. We ordered the curry tonkatsu with rice and onsen egg. We enjoyed the food. If mwe go back to the restaurant, we will definitely try other dishes. The customer service was good. Servers were polite. They were Japanese. The ambience was same as the one in Steveston.

    There's something so special about perfectly cooked Japanese rice that takes curry to the next level. This was exactly what happened on my plate of spinach curry from Oretachi Curry! Loved how rich and flavorful the curry was without being too heavy on the palate!

    Tasty Japanese curry place on Main near 33rd. Parking is available but limited on Main as well as the side streets. Inside looks pretty traditional themed, with the wooden panelling and trim. Staff are friendly. Tried their curry chicken cutlet and curry pork cutlets on rice. Nice and fluffy, and their signature curry is pretty tasty. The one complaint is that the rice dishes are listed as different sizes with corresponding amounts of what looks like a bowl of rice and a bowl of sauce(?). Buddy and I assumed that the "larger" sizes also meant more protein. Good thing we checked. Nope. The extra price just went towards rice and sauce, with the same sized cutlet. Why anybody would pay that much extra for curry sauce and rice is completely beyond me. So that's what they meant by "Toppings portion are the same for all sizes". Talk about disappointment. Knock 1 star off for lack of value. Buddy and I left hungry. Might be worth trying once, but for that price I'd rather go get pho or ramen.

    Walked passed this place with a friend and heard so much about this place, so had to give it a try. Opened in September 2024 Oretchi Curry specializes in Japanese Curry Rice dishes along with an assortment of Japanese Curry Ramen. Place is cutely decorated in your typical Japanese mom and pop eatery you would see all over Japan. Me and my friend decided to order their small (200g rice + 180ml sauce) Regular Chicken Cutlet Curry Rice $16.50 and Hot Pork Cutlet Curry Rice $16.50. You can upgrade to a medium size (300g rice + 270ml sauce) for an extra $2.50 or large size (400g rice + 360 ml sauce) for $6.50 extra. *Pro tip, the medium and large upgrade does not increase the portion of your protein toppings.* The portions were quite small, the Cutlet Chicken and Pork Cutlet were pretty average as I've had better. Sauces were quite tasty and the order of hot offered just a little kick. It is of my opinion, to stay with the small order size as the upgrade fees does not translate to a good value addition of what you are getting. At the time of this review they only accept credit cards. Plenty of free parking along side streets of the restaurant.

    Oretachi Curry is originally from Osaka, and apparently the curry here uses the same recipe. The restaurant is styled like a traditional Japanese shop and the service also meets the high standards of hospitality that you expect of Japanese restaurants. The menu is very helpful with pictures of all the curry toppings and icons to indicate meat, seafood, and vegetarian options. You can add toppings to the base curry to your liking, and in most cases it doesn't matter which one you choose as your base for the pricing. I ordered curry with natto and okra. I loved the natto and okra together and how the natto made the curry sauce almost creamy when mixed together. The curry itself was very tasty. I ordered regular spice level and at first thought it wasn't hot at all, but by the time I was finishing I noticed some heat had built up. If I wanted it spicy, I would try the hot, but I was happy with regular heat for just a hint of spice to give some edge to the flavour. Don't forget to add pickles from the condiment tray! The condiment tray also had curry powder and a brown sauce (maybe tonkatsu sauce), but I didn't feel like I needed to use either. I see that lots of other reviews mention small portions, but I thought there was plenty of both natto and okra on my plate, and the hefty amount of natto made the dish pretty filling even though I got the small size. I thought the $16.5 price was appropriate. I tried the sweet potato cake for dessert. I wasn't sure what to expect for dessert since I've been to some Japanese restaurants that have good food but then pull out those frozen convenience store cakes for dessert. I think this cake was previously frozen because they told me it would be 5 minutes and when it came out it was very cold (but not frozen), but it was definitely not a convenience store cake! It was pretty good! There was a cake layer and a pudding layer, and whipped cream around the edge, all dusted with cocoa powder which reminded me of tiramisu. The cake was light and a little earthy, not too sweet. From the food to the friendly service and atmosphere, I had an enjoyable experience here and would be happy to return.

    Natto curry rice with spinach added (vegetarian/vegan) - medium size
    Matt B.

    Nice, casual, little Japanese curry restaurant with plenty of vegetarian (indeed, vegan) options. I showed up around 6:30pm on a Friday and was seated at the bar. All dishes are $13.50 for a small size, plus $2.50 for a medium or plus $6.50 for a large. You can also order additional toppings for a few dollars more. I got the natto curry (medium; $16) and added spinach ($3), selecting the hot option for spiciness. The food came out in under 10 minutes. You get a big portion of rice and curry, though not that much in the way of natto or spinach. Very tasty, moderately spicy curry with great depth. At the table, there's pickled cabbage and curry powder you can add to your dish, which is a nice touch. Super friendly service and a comfortable, no frills environment. Good food, decent value. Recommended.

    Stepping into Oretachi Curry felt like stepping into a culinary time machine! The aroma alone teleported me back to my old favorite spot in LA--except this place has BETTER service and zero hipster waitstaff asking if I want oat milk in my curry. The curry? An emotional experience. Rich, savory, with just enough spice to remind me I still have taste buds. The katsu was so crispy it sounded like a symphony every time I took a bite. Honestly, if I had one last meal on earth, I'd request this curry and eat it while serenading the plate. The service was stellar too! The staff treated me like I just won the lottery and came to celebrate here. Quick, friendly, and they didn't even judge me when I licked the plate (don't pretend you wouldn't). Oretachi Curry, you've won my heart and my stomach. I'll be back soon--maybe too soon for my cardiologist's liking. Five stars and a standing ovation!

    chicken katsu curry and pork katsu curry
    Leeza N.

    My partner and I decided to try this place since we were craving katsu curry and heard from friends that it's really good. The location is a bit out of the way and was quite a walk. Inside, the restaurant is very cute and small like any other ramen place. I liked that the menu had pictures. For myself, I ordered the small chicken katsu curry (regular spice) and my partner got the medium pork katsu curry (also reg. spice). Our meals came quickly, and we were so excited to eat since it had tons of curry sauce. I added some tonkatsu sauce on my chicken and my partner loaded his plate up with the pickles. The curry sauce itself was so creamy and rich, and the spice was a nice warm kick, nothing too intense! I loved how the sauce coated the rice nicely and the katsu stayed crispy throughout the entire meal. The flavours were spot on and katsu was juicy and crispy. I definitely think this is now my favourite place for katsu curry, I will return whenever I get my cravings!

    Stopped by Maruhachi on a Saturday lunchtime after our long commute from Seattle. this restaurant…read moreis tucked in a corner not too far from the main Robson street. Paid parking was not too hard to find on the Main Street but during busy dining hours it might be difficult. We got seated right away at the bar since there were no tables open and the service was quick. Traditional Japanese style ambiance and even the bathroom had rounded Japanese bowl sink. As someone who doesn't have chicken broth (paitan style) ramen, I was really looking forward to the original ramen I ordered but I was a bit disappointed in the flavor profile of the dish. The ramen had both chasu and seaweed paired with thin round noodles. The broth was creamy and had a hint of chicken flavor but even adding several rounds of their soy sauce/salt seasoning they have on the side to adjust your broth to your liking-- I found that the richness of the soup was not what I had expected from the reviews that I read prior to coming here. Overall, a bit disappointed in the flavoring of the broth but maybe we came on an off day. I would be willing to give it a shot again in the future if I had ramen cravings and given that it was very affordable ($11-15 per bowl with tip), but I would probably opt to try another place first.

    Review #3 for 2026 I…read morereally wanted to like this place. I watched many videos and read reviews before coming here, but it just did not hit the spot. After a cold day of exploring Stanley Park, we felt that ramen would really hit the spot, so we went here not wanting to deal with a wait at Danbo with a hungry and tired toddler. There was NO wait when we arrived here and we were seated immediately... which for a place that was really hyped up, should had made us think twice. There was only 1 other party at the restaurant. Now, the workers were super nice and the food came out quickly and we did eat everything because we were starving. We all ordered the cha-shu tamago ramen, 2 of us got spicy and 2 of us non-spicy. It came with extra chashu and the soft boiled egg for about $20 Canadian. The bowl was a good size and there was a promo for free extra noodles while we were there. Everyone except me in our group took advantage of it because I was too full from my bowl. Now, the broth here is different from other places because it is chicken based and not pork based. Everything I had seen about this place promised the broth is every bit just as good as the pork bone broth... however, the broth we received looked flavorful, but was bland. It was completely bland. There was no richness to it, not even a hint. I don't know, coming from southern California, the flavor just was not there period. We did all eat our food because we were starving, but it for sure did not hit the spot at all. Maybe we got an off day? Otherwise our broth had literally zero flavor to it. We all wished we had tried the other ramen place instead right after trying our ramen. Would I come back? I will have to say definitely no. We do not live in Vancouver and I do not want to waste any meals on a place that did not taste good the first time we went.

Unlike many ramen spots that rely on a heavy tonkotsu (pork) broth, Maruhachi stands out by using a creamy chicken broth. It's hearty yet balanced and surprisingly light. I also loved that they offer side sauces so you can adjust the saltiness to your preference. The spice had a perfect kick -- more of a warming, throat spice that builds without overpowering the broth. The pork was incredibly tender, and the soft-boiled egg was cooked perfectly, with a rich, creamy yolk that was full of flavor. My fiance got the Pork Chashu bowl which she said was so full of flavor, she also was adding the broth from my ramen in it to add some more warmth and flavor to the bowl. The spot itself is small but very unique, and I love how they stay true to tradition. Service was good -- nothing over the top -- but efficient and fast. I truly enjoyed every bite, especially on a cold night in Vancouver. It also seemed like a lot of locals eat here, which is always a good sign. Definitely a must-visit for ramen lovers.

It also happened to be Sake Friday, so we picked up a bottle at 50% off - hard to complain about that math. The ambience was generally fine, but the staff were doing a photoshoot for their new menu right beside our table.

The gyoza and rice bowl were great! The gyoza, which we ordered on the recommendation of our waiter when we told them we were looking for a vegetarian appetizer, were made with soy-based imitation meat that had a very meaty texture - simple but very tasty. The rice bowl also had the soy meat, but seasoned differently, with a more intense flavour, along with atsuage tofu and various vegetables. It was delicious and also seemed healthy. We liked the aburi cheesecake, but it was more lemony than we expected. The waiters who brought it out said the lemon was to cut the sweetness, but we actually felt like the lemon competed with the caramel flavour of the bruleed crust. The textures were amazing though. We really enjoyed our meal here and I wish I'd tried them sooner!

Excellent katsu, plus they have the consistency and reliability. $28-30/meal and its plenty of food for 1, especially with unlimited cabbage/rice/soup.
