    I was so happy to be part of another amazing Yelp Elite Experience! A big thank you to Hayley, OC Yelp, and Curry Do for organizing such a great event. I came for dinner tonight and was seated right away for a party of two. I ordered the Udon Chicken Katsu Curry, and my friend had the Rice Chicken Katsu Curry. The Elite Experience included any entree with the option to add a small topping (like a fried egg, cheese, etc.). I chose to add a fried egg, and everything was delicious, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. My friend also really enjoyed her dish. The portions were very generous, definitely more than enough for me! Our server, Merrelyn, was so kind, patient, and helpful. I mentioned it was my first time trying this type of food, and she took the time to explain everything in detail . The restaurant's interior was beautiful, clean, and aesthetically pleasing, and there was plenty of parking available in front of the restaurant when we arrived.

    First thanks to Hayley and Yelp and Curry Do for having me being part of this awesome event. Curry Do actually has been my go to place whenever I am craving Chicken Katsu Curry and it never disappoints!! So needless to say that I ended up getting the original Chicken Katsu Curry on my visit today without any spices. Now to the restaurant itself, it's definitely on the smaller side but regardless the restaurant was clean and cozy and the service was nice and friendly. Shoutout to Joe who gave me a few extra pickled radishes upon request. My food came out in a jiffy and everything tasted so delicious. Thanks again for having me and I can't wait to come back! Cheers

    I wish the staff at Curry Do had warned me to hold onto my udons because the shrimp tempura soaking in that broth gets tasty quickly. I did not know whether I was going to om or nom during each bite of udon. I do know that the dish is fit for a queen, & would curry the favor (sorry not sorry) of royals. Would devour again. Got a chance to speak with the manager: Joe. I found him to be a very assiduous, astute, & savvy restauranteur. He knew his curry, his menu, & the business model of Curry Do. I believe that additional Curry Do locations may appear in OC or LA provided Joe has a say in their development. I deeply appreciated the layout of this place. A very clean setting, devoid of garish signage, & well ventilated. Not to mention this does not look like the type of place that accommodates random customers who want to bring their dog or cat in to dine with them. I wish Curry Do the best for being a well run, clean establishment that preps quality dishes.

    Pork belly curry (pork was moist, curry sauce was tangy)

    I haven't been to an Elite event in ages, so I thought I would dip my toe back in the water with an Elite Experience. In this case you receive a comp entree during a specified time frame. Being a good Yelper I also added two paid entrees to support a small biz. I ordered chicken katsu curry, and added tonkatsu curry and pork belly curry. Entrees are ~ $16.50 to $17.50. I primarily ate the pork belly, and it was solid. The portion was large, the pork belly was moist, and the curry sauce had a little kick. Normally I don't eat all the rice bc I am following a low glycemic diet. However, in this case I ate all the rice bc I wanted to finish the delicious sauce. I had a bite of the chicken & tonkatsu, and the fry job was very good. They were crispy and nicely seasoned. The beni shōga (red ginger) added a nice contrast to the bold flavor of the curry. This place used to be Hashigo Kitchen if I am not mistaken. The table layout is the same with large communal tables and tables of 4. The waiter was super nice, as was the chef who nodded and smiled at me in return. My food came out quickly despite two ordering b4 me, and a slew of other people arriving b4 noon. I ordered take out and the entrees were packaged expertly, and I was given accoutrements. The waiter also asked me if I wanted utensils, which is more than I can say for a similar place around the corner. They didn't give me any sauce or utensils. I would definitely return to get some very good curry, and drink some cold beer next time. There is a dearth of good curry places nearby.

    Never realized that Curry Do had opened a location in Costa Mesa until this event! It's a clean and spacious space with carry out or a dine in option. I like how customizable the curry dish is with different toppings, spice levels, and side options! I got the mild and wow does it have a kick to it! I love the flavor of the curry and also how the chicken was seasoned! Very unique compared to the typical katsu I see at most Japanese curry places. Loved it a lot and so happy to finally be able to try it! Thanks Yelp and Curry Do!

    Came during a Tuesday lunch and was seated right away for a party of 3. Parking was easy & the interior was beautiful, clean, and aesthetic. I was able to check into the Yelp Elite experience easily and service was really good! The experience included any entree with the option of a small add-on (e.g. fried egg, cheese, etc). I got the tonkatsu curry with fried egg and everything was delicious and flavorful. My friends also enjoyed their dishes. Thank you to the Yelp community for the awesome experience!

    Chicken Katsu Curry
    Andrea H.

    Really great food and amazing customer service. Staff was very welcoming and greeted me as soon as I walked in. Very clean and high quality food. Thank you so much Chicken Katsu Curry: 4/5, mild was the perfect level of spice! Gesokara (fried squid): 5/5, I'm biased because I love fried squid legs

    Fried Gyoza
    Michelle N.

    I love katsu curry! Knowing there's another place for me to get crispy, flavorful, spicy curry katsu is definitely a plus. I got a Regular Chicken Katsu (Mild Spice) with Rice and Kurobuta Sausage. I accidentally ordered Extra Protein on top of it, but it was great as another meal in my leftovers. The spice was definitely there and my tolerance is pretty good, so I opted out of getting their new Spicy Chicken Katsu. Crispy and juicy chicken! The Fried Gyoza was also delicious touch before a heavy meal like the curry katsu. I have to definitely come back! The place is in a great plaza.

    Thank you for such a wonderful experience. Especially after a long work day! It was much needed. I came in for a solo dinner and sat by the counter. It was right before the dinner rush, so plenty of tables were open -- staff kindly let me choose my seat, which I appreciated. Atmosphere: All I gotta say was they have a 10/10 playlist. Giveon Radio if anyone's wondering. And yes guys, I really liked it enough to ask the staff what they were playing. It seems a great place to go one on one with someone! The store is very simple but inviting. Food: Ordered the Beef Belly Curry -- it comes with your choice of udon, rice, or fries and in regular or small portions. You can add sides like sausage, potato, carrots, fried egg, or cheese. I went with potatoes, carrots, and a fried egg on the spicy option (though it wasn't too spicy -- just a gentle kick that blended beautifully with the curry). Warm, cozy, and comforting -- like a hug in a bowl. I loved that they added some tempura bits to add texture to the bowl. It also came with the usual pickled ginger you'd expect. I normally actually don't have pickled ginger with my curry but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it went with it! Extras: It was happy hour when I came, so I also grabbed agedashi tofu and edamame. Nothing groundbreaking, but honestly, I can never resist either. Overall: Great solo dinner spot, chill atmosphere, and perfect playlist. I'll definitely be back to try the other curry bases next time. I'm actually really interested in trying their tempura one next time!

    Pork Belly Donburi
    Czarina D.

    Another great Yelp Elite event! I was feeling under the weather and didn't want to eat out, so I called the restaurant to ask if I could get the food to go and they said I could! YAY! I ordered ahead and picked up my dinner around dinner time. I noticed the workers were a bit slammed so it took some time. I didn't mind because I totally felt for the workers -- they looked stressed, but they were MOVIN!! @the servers, you guys were doing great! I ended up getting a Spicy Chicken Katsu and Pork Belly Donburi. Both were delicious! I really enjoyed the spicy chicken katsu and when they say spicy, IT IS! I LOVE spice and usually find that most things aren't that spicy for me, but this chicken was spicy and I really liked it! The pork belly was cooked beautifully. Both were great! THANKS YELP AND CURRY DO!

    Thank you, Curry Do, Hayley H, Ari M, and Yelp OC for inviting me to this Yelp Elite Experience which allowed us to try one complimentary entree with one complimentary add-on. I came on a Saturday evening and was able to try the Ishiyaki Curry with Pork Belly. Although pictured on the menu, it does not automatically come with the fried egg. I was thankfully able to have it as an add-on that was included in my Yelp Elite Experience, and am so glad I did. The curry is not usually spicy for this dish but I asked for them to please make it spicy. The entrees arrived with the fried egg, pork belly, rice, and tomatoes already in a stone bowl. The server then poured steaming hot curry over it. Watch out for your first bite because the temperature can be very hot! I like that it came in a stone bowl because this came the temperature of the food hot for the whole meal. The Curry was tasty and flavorful and had the perfect amount of spices (although it did not feel spicy at all for me). The pork belly was tender and yummy. The rice had that little bit of crispiness at that bottom where it touched the stone bowl (which I loved). They offered a small side of pickled radishes that I threw into the pot and enjoyed the little bit of tangy flavor it gave to balance the whole dish. I really enjoyed my meal so I also ordered takeout for my family. I got the Pork Belly Donburi and Agedashi Tofu. Both which my family enjoyed! The restaurant interior was well-lit, minimal, clean, with high ceilings. Servers were great, polite, and we're quick to clean up tables as people left. Pop music was playing and the A/C was on full blast. Parking lot is free and there is valet (not sure how much it costs) available if you have trouble finding a spot since there are a lot of restaurants in this plaza area. I didn't have to use since there were a few spots available in front of the restaurant.

    Edamame
    Sarah P.

    Great service and food! It was pretty empty when I came so the food and service came quickly. I got some edamame, spicy udon with beef belly, and the vanilla crepe cake. All delicious! The curry wasn't super spicy but it had a decent kick, and the addition of the potatoes and carrots made it more filling. The beef belly was fatty and flavorful, went well with the spice and edamame. Definitely coming again! I'm glad I got to participate in the Yelp event, I've been to Curry Do in the past and enjoyed different dishes. It's still nice to be able to try varying things and hear about their new deals/specials.

    Spicy curry udon w spicy chicken katsu
    Nancy M.

    Ishiyaki Curry w/ beef belly: 4.5/5 Spicy chicken katsu udon: 2.5/5 Overall: 3.5/5 Came here for dinner w/ my husband and I ordered the regular size spicy udon w/ spicy katsu chicken and he ordered the ishiyaki curry w/ beef belly. His ishiyaki curry came first so I had a bite of it and it was delicious! It was a sizzling bowl w/ rice, tomato, carrots, your choice of protein and the curry is poured on top of the bowl at your table. The curry and food is piping hot, just the way I like it. The description said it included cheese but we were not sure where the cheese was. The image on the menu also included a sunny side up egg but the dish did not include an egg. Minus points for that - the dish should include an egg or adjust the image on the menu to accurately reflect the contents. My curry udon arrived a few minutes later and the udon was lukewarm, which was disappointing. The spicy chicken katsu was also a chicken katsu with chili sauce on top, I expected it to be a spicy battered chicken katsu so that was a bit surprising. The chicken katsu itself had really good flavor and remained crispy even though it was in the curry. Curry udon typically has a thinner curry consistency than curry with rice but the flavor of the curry in the udon was lacking compared to the ishiyaki curry, I wish I ordered that instead! The spicy curry had a kick so it would be great for those who like spicy foods. Would have enjoyed the udon more if the temperature was hotter! Overheard someone at another table also mention that their food was lukewarm as well so it sounded like a common issue here, not sure why their curry is not hot. I really appreciate the opportunity to try out a new curry place and enjoyed the ishiyaki curry but would recommend some adjustments to improve the experience for other diners!

The Bunz and I went on a lunch date here for his first visit to Ini, my second. I made a reservation on Open Table and when arrived we were warmly greeted. Loved the natural lighting in the restaurant and the wood decor. Very modern, clean and comfortable. We had an pleasant experience and so glad we came during the Happy Hour times - less hectic and loud. Our server, Jennifer was personable and courteous. All the staff were very professional and attentive. I appreciated they sat us at a booth seating for 4 vs a table for 2 (otherwise all our orders wouldn't' have fit on there) We absolutely enjoyed the Spicy Miso Carbonara + the Yuzu Peach Refresher. The udon was chewy, sauce was savory but the pasta was spicier than I had expected. This pasta dish is a little heavy - so I say it's best to share. I do wish they had given a bit more protein though. But overall a dish worth trying. The Yuzu refresher was a nice surprise - very palatable. We also ordered the Beef Carpaccio, HH - Pepperoni Pizza and HH - Veal Bolognese. The happy prices on those were so worth getting! As for the pizza - the flavors were on point and well balanced but could use a bit more pepperoni. The Veal Bolognese was scrumptious that we ordered another! Don't under estimate the portion - they didn't skimp at all! The Beef Carpaccio was a light and nice appetizer to kick start the meal. We definitely would be back to visit again :)

As part of the event, we were treated to the complimentary Spicy Miso Carbonara and Yuzu Refresher. The carbonara was amazing. The udon pasta with a spicy creamy, eggy sauce was perfectly balanced with mushroom umami flavors. The spice level was just right, (but they offered chili flakes and chili oil for those who like it super spicy!) The fusion of Italian and Asian cuisines that I never knew I needed!! We also went a little crazy and ordered three other entrees: seafood poke pizza (sounds wild but the fusion was unexpectedly satisfying..) and seafood mafaldine (so much crab meat and seafood!) and the burrata caprese. Everything on their menu looks delicious and we will be back to try them. If you're a pasta lover (good food lover, in general) INI is an absolute must-try. The quality of the food, combined with the excellent service, makes it a standout dining experience. **A big plus was that the dishes were made fresh, allowing most to be modified. For pescatarians, sausage and bacon could be easily removed from some pasta dishes. Truly grateful! Thanks Yelp + Haley!!

Some other fun activities that we did were planting a peppermint plant, trying out various musical instruments, playing with hoola hoops, and pretending to be a veterinarian. I'm not sure if this was part of Imaginology or not but they had a huge area with farm animals and there was even a contest for breeders to compete for their animals (like goat breeders). That was fun for my girls to watch! There were a few food options here, and I'm personally not a big fan of fair food but I was pleasantly surprised. We got Hawaiian chicken bowls - one was orange chicken and one was pineapple teriyaki. It was pretty good for "fast food". I also let my daughter have dippin' dots ice cream, which was a special treat! The only thing that I would caution is that the traffic to get in was crazy. It took us about 45 minutes in line to get past the gate. Once we were in, parking was no problem. It was just that they had directed all traffic to only go through one gate, instead of allowing people to go through any gate. So I would plan ahead next time.

    Another great time at Imaginology. We invited another family to join us and they couldn't believe…read morethis free family event was offered to everyone. Our kids albeit are getting older still look forward to the hula hoops, reptile zoo, musical instruments, fort building, aerial acrobats, bootcamp obstacle course, and the classic airplaine making. We appreciate this event so much! We basically spend all day here. Free (almost) everything - carpool and just pay for parking and food inside.

    Another great event hosted by Yelp OC and Kin Craft Ramen & Izakaya!…read more My husband and I were able to go on a Monday for lunch time and we were amazed by the interior decor they had. It definitely had a nice modern vibe to it which we liked a lot. Along with the complimentary items (Yuzu Lemonade & Beef Belly Curry) we got we also ordered their Takoyaki & Chicken Karaage. Everything was so delicious and flavorful but our favorite had to be the Chicken Karaage and the Beef Belly Curry w/ rice. The chicken pieces were huge, juicy, and tender and the sauce they provided complimented it well. The curry dish had so much beef to it that we were sad when the bowl came to an end. We will definitely be back again to try their other dishes! Staff was very attentive and friendly. Thank you again for another great Yelp Elite Event!

    I just have to say thank you to the OC Yelp team and Hayley for always taking care of their…read moreyelpers. I think this has to be one of my most favorite events ever because I absolutely enjoyed every bit of this experience. From the plentiful inside seating, to the best service we had, to the tasty plate that we were offered. If you haven't been to this spot to try their curry, come with a really empty tummy. It is a good size serving for sure. The curry is not spicy at all, but very flavorful. The lemonade was also thirst quenching itself, served in a nice tall fancy glass. Could pass as a mock tail. What a great way to end summer for sure, thank you again to everybody, including the restaurant and the Yelp team

Fried Organic Fish Tofu with spicy Thai holy chili dipping sauce. - Chaiyo Chicken: Deep fried Chicken nuggets with special house blend flour. Shortly wok with Thai Chaiyo Tamarind sauce topped up with crispy ginger and crispy garlic. Served on the bed of crunchy sliced green cabbage. - Sparkling Strawberry Lime Soda - Chaiyo Tao Huu healthy platter: we all LOVED the one that they said was "spicy." The tofu was very dense and almost meatball like. - Chaiyo chicken: the kids kept comparing it to "orange chicken" and loved it. Sweet with a tang of sour, crunchy, saucy, paired with the crunchy cabbage...what didn't this have?! - Pad Kee Mow: flat rice noodles kicked up a notch by the red chili. Very flavorful and delicious!! - Basil Beef: unexpectedly very saucy but nice crunchy vegetables with nicely cooked thick slices of beef. The Sparkling Strawberry Lime Soda is a visual treat and delicious too! The strawberries and blueberries were very sweet; my youngest demolished it! Shoutout to the staff who was non-stop cooking, serving, getting deliveries and tables(!) full of Elites! Wishing them nothing but the best. We'll be back to try more authentic delicious dishes. Xoxo! Thank you Yelp OC for this amazing opportunity!
