Love this place!! Alyssa is incredibly sweet and attentive. I really hope she feels appreciated at work because she deserves it. Zen is lucky to have someone like her on their team! The food is consistently delicious, and the establishment is never too crowded, which makes every visit enjoyable. Highly recommend! read more

Zen Curry is an absolute gem, especially because it's so close to home. It's the perfect spot to satisfy my Japanese curry craving. I've tried Japanese curry at other places nearby, but it just doesn't hit the same as it does here. The flavor and spices this place delivers keeps me coming back. Service seems to be hit or miss each time I visit. During my most recent call in for a to-go order, I felt very rushed, and the person who answered the phone wasn't very pleasant to speak with. This was right after they had opened, so it wasn't busy at the time. Portion sizes could also be better. I ordered a regular and my partner ordered a large, and there really wasn't much of a difference between the two, which was a little disappointing. That said, the food itself is consistently good, and it's still my go to spot when I'm craving Japanese curry. With more consistent customer service, this would easily be a five star place. read more

Visiting Las Vegas - or more specifically, family (mom) - you can put money down that we'll end up out to eat. On my most recent visit, we ended up at Zen Curry Dining. There's parking. Lots. And free. I mention this probably because I live in LA and paid parking is the norm. Just get excited if a place validates or on Sundays when parking is gratis. That's in most places, not all. Anyway ... Walked in and it's packed. Place is good for large groups. Probably best to call ahead though so seating can be arranged eliminating a wait for tables to clear if when they get busy. The service was pretty good. As it was busy, the servers had a flow going - going in and out of the kitchen taking care of the guests both on the way in and out of the BOH. As for the food - see pics. Most were cooked well but as you can see, some were a little overdone. The Katsu wasn't too dry - but would have loved it had it been a little more tender and moist. Overall, it was a good experience taste wise. It was quite a bit of of food - had to take some to go. Heated up and was still good. Never the same as when it's freshly made but still good enough. I'd go back. Close to where I stay, easy parking and good food. read more

My family and I love Japanese food, especially since we lived in Japan for 12 years, so we're always excited when we find a spot that brings those flavors closer to home. Zen Curry has definitely become one of those convenient places we like to go to when we're craving Japanese comfort food without having to drive far. It's a great quick-fix option and usually really hits the spot. Most of the time, the food is delicious, satisfying, and very enjoyable. However, there have been a few visits where the quality felt a bit inconsistent. On those occasions, it seemed like whoever was cooking may have rushed it or didn't put in the same care, with the food coming out overly oily and not as well-prepared as usual. Thankfully, those times are not the norm, but it is something we've noticed. Overall, the atmosphere is great, the service is good, and Zen Curry remains a solid go-to for a fast and convenient Japanese meal close to home. When they're on their game, it's really yummy and a place we genuinely enjoy coming back to. read more

This curry house has a strong following off its simple menu of curry! There's options to beef up the meal where you can add veggies, proteins, etc. I appreciate the traditional atmosphere, and the server was very friendly and fast. I got the katsu with veggies, and it tasted very comforting. Great spot for a warm meal during the wintertime. read more

Well first let me talk about that wonderful woman, Janine. I think she goes by Jay, wow is the best response. She was attentive, gracious, & sweet. Our service was the best, as usual when we eat there. Food is always good. The food always tastes just right. For the portion of my ramen is spot on . The karaage chicken and that spicy mayo!! Yum! One thing I really enjoy when we dine is the music they play. It is nice to hear some of the not oldies that put in that so I wanna eat and relax mood. I am very grateful that I am here able to just enjoy the finer things in life like this place, these wonderful people! Thank you Jay, (Janine). read more

Came here for the first time with my best friend and it did not disappoint. It wasn't very busy when we came in but became busy as we sat down during dinner time. Was pretty quiet place with families and can definitely talk and catch up. The staff seemed very busy with customers and only one waitress and one bus person. Seemed in a hurry to serve us and get us out there. The food was amazing and bursting with flavor. I am not good with spicy so I ordered the lowest. The appetizers were great and the main course was a big portion and took left overs home. I will definitely be coming back and trying more food items. Only reason I am doing four stars is the staff could be friendlier. read more

Drove pass this place on our way to a TBall game and figured why not once the game finished. We love trying new/different places especially outside of our neighborhood. Ample parking shared with several other businesses, we got there a bit after opening so it was fairly early. When we walked in, we were greeted and were told we could sit anywhere. Our server brought over water without us having to ask and she gave us a few minutes to decide on our selections. Our order was Katsudon (2pork cutlets donburi style), tonkatsu ramen, mini curry bowl (mini rice bowl with curry sauce), karaage chicken and gyoza. Everything came out fresh and hot and the curry on point, exactly the taste I was hoping for and the chicken crunchy on the outside, tender and moist on the inside. The pork cutlets in the Katsudon was a bigger portion than what was expected and the cutlets were thick and juicy. Tonkatsu ramen was delicious as well, the only thing we didn't like about it was the bamboo shoots (personally I'm not a bamboo shoot fan) and now I know next time I can ask to not have it, which is great because they accommodate as requested when possible. Price wise, affordable and won't put a huge dent in your wallet. Our total bill after taxes and before tip was $46.55, which also included 2 cokes (soda is in a can, no fountain drinks). 9/10 place and will visit again, there were other items we wanted to try but didn't want to overdo it on our 1st visit. While we were there, they have several pick up orders and a few other patrons but it was a bit early so I was able to get a few pics of inside the restaurant. read more

Ono food and amazing service. The closest thing I can get to the Curry House curry from Oahu.

Japanese curry is one of my favorite dishes, so I'm glad I was able to find a solid spot so close to home. They offer 3 sizes for the rice curry: small, regular, and large. The portions are pretty big and the small is the perfect size for me. You then get to choose your add ins for an additional price. I always opt for the chicken katsu, which comes out perfectly crisp. You can also choose your spice level. My spice tolerance isn't very high, so I get the 3 and it is perfect. A nice kick, but not too spicy. Don't forget to ask for the pickled radish! It's a nice crunch and freshness to the dish. read more

There's place is pretty pricey but their food is so good. Next time I come here, I will update my review and show my usual. I always get the chicken Katsu with vegetables minus the mushroom. They give you a good amount of chicken Katsu, a large amount of rice, and I love their vegetable with the sauce. I used to go to the one near China Town and Southwest. When I found out they had one on the north I was very happy. Service has been great at all three locations. read more

Haven't been here in awhile, but today was a curry type of day. Got there about 15-20 minutes after they opened, we were the only patrons , but it looked like they had a bunch of to go orders ready to go. We ordered the gyoza (5 pieces), my dining companion ordered the tonkatsu ramen and I ordered the regular size curry with pork katsu level one spiciness. The gyoza came out first, nicely crispy fried. No serving dishes accompanied the gyoza, so we ate over our napkins. Since there were only five it wasn't worth bothering the server for plates, but still, plates should have been a no brainer. My dining companions ramen came out next, a fairly large serving .The broth was different from other tonkatsu style taste wise, but still ok. Three slices of pork, a good helping of corn, but no 1/2 soft cooked egg. We figured that due to the egg shortage and crazy prices, they just omitted it for the time being. My curry came out finally, pretty plentiful curry and just enough rice. The katsu was crispy and tender. The spice level was higher than expected . The server said that each chef measured but sometimes they aren't all the same. It was ok, but I would have preferred a less spicy dish. All in all a decent meal. They still do a ten percent military discount. read more

A go to spot for me! The restaurant is always so clean and the staff is very friendly and super attentive with your service. I got the pork katsu curry spicy level 3 with cheese and a side of red radish. The pork katsu is very crispy and the curry is so flavorful! It definitely has a kick of spice, so I enjoy the cheese to cool it down a bit with the duo of the red radish which offers a nice crunch! read more

Zen Curry Dining - Pork Katsu - Ramen Near Me - North Las Vegas, Nevada

Mediocre food. Items are either fried or out of a bag, can or both. Nothing tastes fresh, minimal clientele and the waitress although sweet, was slow, forgot to bring cutlery, forgot to fill waters even when asked, brought out one meal to a person in our party of four and then brought the other meals out 7 mins later so we couldn't eat together. Small menu, below par food and poor service. Not sure why the rating were high for this place.. Skip it... plenty or other places worth the trip or just eat home. read more

Zen Curry Dining is a Curry and Ramen full service restaurant with a location in North Las Vegas. The main dig is the curry that is made from vegetables, lots of spices called garam masala and then you add as many toppings as you like. They also offer a variety of ramens, appetizers like fried octopus balls, Japanese beer, and Saki. They offer traditional seating and seating at a small bar by the entrance. I tried a medium sized with chicken katsu (fried chicken), potato croquet, and vegetables with #7 heat out of 10 (30 cents extra). For me #7 is plenty hot but not too hot. I thought the curry was rich and flavorful. The rice was perfect and really fresh tasting. The chicken by it's self tonight lacked flavor and seasoning and also was slightly over cooked and dry. The croquette was fried nicely and was interesting and good. The vegetables seemed like a stewy mix of frozen and fresh that were ok. The Medium size might be large to most people. I had extra leftover but not enough for two meals. My husband tried a medium sized curry #8 heat (35 cents for #8 heat) with sausage, spam, rice, and an egg. The egg was almost heard and came out unseasoned. We were surprised that they fried the spam. They give you spoons to eat your meal here. I thought my meal was easier to eat with a fork. My husband got up to get forks for us and he also got the salt and pepper off the counter for his egg. 3 stars is a positive review on Yelp and translates to A-OK read more

Honestly, I'm just happy to have a good Japanese curry place near me that offers tofu curry! I lived and studied in Japan and have always missed カレーライス. But it's typically made out of chicken/pork which I don't do anymore. The curry rice is pretty comparable to the curry rice in Japan. I can't say the same about the naan. I would skip it. It tasted worse than store bought naan and you only get a few pieces for the price. They do have コロッケ Korokke which is potato croquette. It was a bit cold but it was good! Just don't see them often in Japanese dinning establishments that are not in Chinatown or the strip. My husband got the spicy miso ramen with vegetable broth instead of the standard pork broth. He said he was expecting the noodles to be restaurant made but they tasted like they were instant noodles. He said the taste was overall ok. The service was great. The only comment my husband had since he was paying attention and I wasn't was the selection of music. Some dirty language and bad words. It's just a bit odd since the restaurant is a bit on the quieter side. read more

This is the closest I've found to real Japanese curry and ramen. Best in vegas! Having been to Japan several times, this is really authentic. Curry is smooth dark and blends with the scoop of rice.

Be warned--- they are extremely overpriced given the small portions. You'd think you were eating at a gourmet restaurant on the strip. I ordered to go, came out to about 26 dollars as I ordered a curry with VEGETABLES, extra curry. No meat or anything like that. My container came half filled because apparently extra curry means putting a regular portion in a larger container...I paid for a larger container with barely any food. It's complete robbery. One scoop of rice and half a container of curry....its like every spoonfull costs 2 dollars as I had about 13 spoons of it before it was gone. The owners must be rich...I guarantee you the ingredients don't cost even 1/100 of what they charge. Getting JUST the curry sauce with NOTHING in it is already 16 bucks for a small portion (looks like a 4-6 oz container)... wild. read more

Update. Wanted to give it another shot since food is good. Another bad experience. We ordered our usual, ramen, curry, gyoza, salad...everything was good until we got to the ramen. My husband almost ate a piece of wire. I called and explained the situation and their response was that they could replace it. I asked for a manager to call me...still waiting. read more

Visit Date: 3.12.2023 If you're looking for a clean, simple place to eat some very good Japanese style curry, Zen Curry is the place to go! It's not fancy, but sometimes, a girl just wants to eat in her sweatpants. We went around 2:00 pm on a Sunday. Dining room had a few people, which is always a good sign. Kind of an eclectic crowd, young adults, families & a few single diners. (Then us, me plus one, lol.) We have been on a budget lately (thanks recession) so we were trying to keep our total bill around $30.00. With that in mind, we ordered: DRINKS: Coke (can) - $1.75 Hot Oolong Tea - $2.00 APPETIZER: Karaage (chicken) - $4.40 ENTREE: Small Portion of Curry/Rice - $7.00 Added Chicken Katsu - $5.00 Added Vegetables - $3.50 ($15.50) Regular Portion of Curry/Rice - $8.95 Added Spice - Level 2 - $0.20 Added Chicken Katsu -$5.00 ($14.15) SUBTOTAL: $37.90 Food was pretty good! Drinks were nothing fancy, but that's ok because the prices reflected that. The appetizer portion for the Karaage Chicken was incredible! A very generous portion was delivered in a large bowl for a whopping $4.50! Enough for 4 people to share (or 2 seriously hungry people such as me and my date)! Entrees were plentiful in portion as well. I ordered a small portion of the curry rice, as I'm a small person! Adding vegetables was a little pricey, but it helped me mentally accept all the carbs I ate devouring a heaping portion of their perfectly cooked rice. My date's portion was pretty big, so we were both very happy. Ambiance was nothing special. It's not 'The Strip'. It's a stand alone building on West Centennial Parkway in North Las Vegas. However, the place was extremely clean, the staff was young, but very professional and polite. For a place that's called Zen Curry, it's definitely mastered that "I need curry in a hurry" mood. I saw that some of my fellow Yelpers had come to eat Ramen and were disappointed. I didn't try anything other than the items listed above, so not sure about that. Buuuuut, it's not called "Zen Ramen", now is it? As listed above 5 out of 5 for me! We'll be back for sure, (for CURRY)! read more

Visited family and friends in Vegas over the holidays and was lucky enough to enjoy some Japanese curry at Zen. It has been a long while since I had some Japanese curry. This place was worth it. Price was very very competitive and the flavor was delicious. I had the spicy level 4 (it goes up to level 10) and it was quite a kick but still mild enough. The portion was perfect, not too much and not too little. Service was very good. They always made sure we were doing okay but like not overly aggressive. The place was very clean and organized. Good atmosphere. Perfect for families. I'll definitely come back when I'm in town. Thank you for the food. read more

I have been frequenting this place for a while now. Every time I dine here the consistency of the food is spot on. Although there really isn't much vegan options here, we end up eating a more vegetarian meal instead. The flavor of the curry, food and service is what keeps bringing us back here. The atmosphere is casual. The food quantity is good. The price seems a little on the higher end for a casual dining experience but we'll worth it. The only issue I have is the spice level...I usually get a 0 because I'm a wimp, but even a 0 has a little kick to it, lol. Other than that, I really enjoy this place, it close by, it's good, and the service is always nice. If you haven't had curry and are looking to try it, you must give this place a shot. read more

If you're craving Japanese curry in North Las Vegas, Zen Curry Dining on West Centennial Parkway is a must-visit. As a local, I appreciate its cozy atmosphere and the convenience of having authentic Japanese curry nearby. The restaurant offers a variety of options, including tofu curry, which is a delightful choice for those seeking plant-based meals. The curry is rich and flavorful, reminiscent of the dishes I enjoyed during my time in Japan. The spice levels are customizable, and level 4 provides a satisfying kick without overwhelming the palate. The staff is attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. While the naan might not be their strongest offering, the overall quality and authenticity of the curry make Zen Curry Dining a standout spot in the area. PLUS THEY GIVE MILITARY DISCOUNT!! read more

I have had friends say this is the best curry place in town. One of my coworkers wanted curry for lunch so thought we'd give it a try. Walking in, there was no one in the restaraunt. (Usually not a good sign) I ordered the chicken katsu. With level 7 heat. It was hotter than I thought it would be, but it was hot with no flavor. Nothing wrong with heat but it was the most bland curry I've eaten. Adding salt and soy sauce couldn't even save it. I really wanted to enjoy it but there are many other places in town that do have flavor. The prices are a little high for what you get. I probably won't be returning. I may try the other location. read more

Absolutely love Zen Curry! They have a few locations around Vegas, but this one's not too far from my home and very quiet. Love that there is almost always seating available and they can accommodate larger parties. This spot is a favorite amongst my coworkers who've lived in Japan. They say it's the closest thing we have to Cocos. Although I've had Cocos, I can't be a good judge of comparison. I do love Zen though. Very customizable, good topping options, and fulfills the craving. The sizes are pretty big, but Id recommend ordering extra curry with a regular or large, because is there ever really enough? The Thai tea is good. Good selection of Japanese beers as well. The spice level is pretty consistent, with a 5-6 being a mild with a good kick. Definitely recommend 8 if you like spice. I hear 10 isn't spicy enough, which makes sense because theres nothing going on with a 4. Love it here! Will be back! Totally recommend! read more

Service was good, hospitable and quick! The place is pretty clean and not very busy. I did notice one thing about the menu that caught my eye-- if you take a closer look at the menu, you'll notice a discrepancy between the price of the tonkotsu ramen and the price listed in the fine print. I did ask the host about it and they explained that they never actually read it before. Double check the prices before you order! I wasn't charged the price promised in the fine (more like medium) print. read more

Awesome and fast service, soy eggs tofu katau are delicious!!! Good music and atmosphere.

Needed a Japanese Curry fix as I often cook this back home. Given I'm home "away from home", it's not as easy. Glad to have found Zen to fill that void! Their Chicken Karaage is not the best I've tasted. It's probably due to their choice of using white meat. I can understand there are variations, but not a fan of it. On the other hand, their Kaki Fry was perfect! Curry has to be their strongest offering right? It certainly is! Don't know how curry is served when dining in as I ordered for take out. In my case the curry was packed in a separate container. This alone has made everything much better preventing the tonkatsu from being soggy. You may request spicy hot from 1 to 10. I've opted for 10 and it was fire. The higher in heat, additional cost it be. This part of I found a bit strange, but they delivered a mean curry sauce. I would love to dine in and try their Ramen one day. Had my dog with me on a hot day at the time so it wasn't an option. They have a welcoming staff and I appreciate them. I am curious to know what's the story behind Zen. It's not often you find a Japanese Curry house. read more
