First of all shout out to Zen curry. I've been going to the original China town location since forever. To have an express location on the south west of town is major. It's easy to say it's a nostalgic memorable restaurant for me and many others. The ambiance of this Zen curry was very underrated. It's giving Japan vibes and I'm not even in Japan. I can appreciate the cool Japanese decor so culturally sound with the food being served. The food here was very delicious, simple, and flavorful. We ordered the OG chicken katsu curry medium with a side of corn and veggies, curry udon noodles with pork, and Karage with a side of rice. The og katsu was delicious rice pairing with the medium curry speaks numbers especially with the sides goes hand in hand a must try. Not to mention they give out side of raisins, sliced thin almonds, katsu sauce, and some type of crushed peppers this was definitely a game changer. The udon noodles were also great if you like spicy curry with udon noodles this is for you. The experience was on point because you can basically build your own dish and add toppings which was also major. The karage was for the kids and they loved it paired it with a side of rice so good! The service was amazing very helpful and staff made us feel comfortable eating here will definitely come back and indulge in some curry again for sure!

Karaage Curry & Chicken Katsu Curry

This is a fast casual restaurant where you order at the counter and then sit down. They bring the food to you, but you do clean up after yourself. The staff was friendly and we ordered two different chicken curries to try. My favorite was the karaage chicken as it was more juicy and flavorful. The traditional Katsu curry with a little dry. Portion size is good and we did have leftovers for the next day.

I love this place. Reminds me of Curry House in Hawaii. Curry, rice and oysters, my fave. 7 on spice level... yum. Good customer service and clean restaurant. 5 Stars.

My solid go to spot for fast Japanese curry. Staff here is always friendly and the food always comes out hot and fast. The inside has a moderate amount of seating and they keep it clean. It is a bit weird, however, having to go to refill my own water from the water machine so often since the provided water cups are pretty small.

If you're a fan of curry, you definitely have to check this place out. I love that they had so many different protein options for the curry. I got the calamari and it was fantastic! My husband got the Japanese meatloaf and that one was also delicious. The meatloaf was super tender and tasty. Be aware of their spice levels! They're a little spicier than average. I got a 3 and it was perfect for me but anything more would have been too much (for what I can handle!) The service was good and the girl who helped us was very friendly.

Awesome spot for a quick and delicious bite. Price/portions/service all great

2. Chicken Katsu Curry, spice level 2
Clarisa P.

I found Zen Curry on Yelp when I was missing my favorite Japanese Curry shop back home. I decided to go solo to treat myself to a chicken katsu plate and takoyaki. The restaurant itself feels mom and pop, nothing too fancy about it. Understandably, as it's an express restaurant and people are constantly ordering takeout. I decided to dine in for a full experience and ended up not being the only one in the restaurant. This a place where you serve yourself water from the water dispenser and put your plates away in a tray at the end of your meal. The only thing I didn't enjoy about my experience is the music get blasted here and the employees get loud. Again, understandable since most orders are takeout. I ended up putting my AirPods in and listening to a podcast. More importantly, the food here is pretty good. The curry plate was presented plain and simple. Curry to the side, with the katsu on top of rice. It was a big portion, but I came hungry and finished the whole thing. The takoyaki was made perfectly. The flavors, textures, and presentation were satisfying. I scarfed everything down. Next time I order from here, I'd prefer to takeout. I hope that doesn't compromise freshness or quality of food!

I ate a pork Katsu curry with brown rice. I felt the owners devotion and love to all humanity. Food is love ! I recommend you this great Japanese curry.

Chicken Katsu Curry
Sabrina U.

Always consistently great and affordable food. This is their take-out location so the interior decor isn't as fancy as the Spring Mountain location, but the service is still friendly and fast. Will keep coming back!

Tofu Katsu $4
Teri C.

To be honest, we kind of forgot about Zen Curry Express when they opened in the Southwest. We would see them and know they were always there, but it wasn't on our radar much. During covid, we did a few pick up orders and was reminded of how comforting their food was. And as a result, we started putting them back into our rotation. The pork tonkatsu curry ($12.95) is just good and comforting. And the amount of curry is generous. We always have leftovers and I love having plenty of sauce. We usually get about 2-3 orders for our little party of four. I also started added the tofu katsu ($4) as a side because I love tofu and the crunch is so satisfying. If you want any spice, it's an added cost. And they don't always give you the red pickles so be sure to ask for them. It makes great leftovers too, especially if you have an air fryer. Sure, the restaurant setting isn't fancy and it's very casual. (You order at the counter and take a seat after all.) So, as long as you know what you're there for, which is the curry, you'll be content.

I try to avoid dairy at times, so I'm curious if the curry contains any dairy?

Yes, there is some dairy in the curry. Thanks, Akira

Is the curry vegetarian or does it contain animal stock or flavoring?

The Curry sauce itself does not contain animal stock or flavoring. Vegetarian can eat it. You can order vegetable curry or spinach curry.

"You haven't tried Ton Ton yet?!?" And that's how we came to discover this cute little Japanese…read morerestaurant! My brother and sister-in-law took us here, and luckily, we arrived early enough to avoid the line and snag the last available table. Moments later, a long line was forming outside! Truth be told, I'm not usually a fan of katsu, although my entire family loves it. We ordered both the regular and thick-cut pork katsu sets to compare, along with oysters, a seafood mix, jumbo scallops, mushrooms, and Kumidashi cold tofu. My favorite was the scallops. Everything except the tofu was fried, and WOW! The katsu here is unlike what I've had elsewhere. Perfectly crispy, clean-tasting, not greasy, moist on the inside, and seasoned just right. I also enjoyed the ritual of grinding sesame seeds to mix into my katsu sauce. The iced green tea was wonderfully refreshing, and refills were included--a nice bonus! Service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. Coming from someone who doesn't typically gravitate toward katsu, I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. Now I understand what all the hype is about!

Pro-tip: Expect there to be a wait! Order the thick cut pork loin - it's totally worth it…read more Highlights: If you're looking to be transported back to Japan or just for an authentic Katsu meal, you will not be disappointed. Everything from the menus, the decor, the dishware will really make you feel like you're in Japan. The food here is so delicious!! I would highly recommend the thick cut pork loin Katsu. The service is also very quick and polite. Lowlights: The restaurant is very small and they pack a lot of tables inside so they don't allow strollers. I imagine it would be hard to dine with a large group.

We went during weekday lunch and there were around 4 other tables with diners. We got the premium AYCE since we wanted to try the special items. Service was attentive and proactive. Our orders came within minutes of placing the order. The salmon, tuna and other fish were fresh though the uni was a bit slimier (probably since it's still out of season). Having ordered most of the special dishes, I can say that their AYCE provides very good value for the ingredients and dishes included. Their selection and variety of dishes is also hard to beat. However, the sushi rice was really poor quality - undercooked which made it tougher to chew, was long grain (not Japanese short-grained rice used for sushi) and did not have the stickiness nor sourness of proper vinegared rice. The Japanese word "sushi" translates literally to sour rice referring to the vinegared rice which is the foundation of the nigiri sushi. Because of how critical the rice is to sushi and rolls, I can only give Daisho 3 stars at most until they learn how to cook sushi rice. We provided the feedback to the restaurant staff so we truly hope they take the feedback seriously and improve it. It's not that hard to cook Japanese sushi rice. Worst case, the restaurant should invest in a Zojirushi rice cooker that will cook it perfectly every time.

Highlights: Wow, it's been a long time since I've left a five star review anywhere and this place definitely deserves it. The quality of the fish is extremely high and it's a great price point for what you get. My husband got the churashi bowl and I got the nigiri set and they were both phenomenal. Lowlights: I do wish I knew what each piece in the nigiri set was. I had asked the waiter prior to ordering, and he gave a vague answer that it was a little bit of everything.

I've been to Takumi a number of times when they were serving lunch, and they had some delish lunch special. I also knew chef Takeshi, from a previous sushi restaurant that he was operating, where the wife and I were regulars... Anyway, I went and had my sights on their Unagi bowl, and a nice house salad, with the traditional Japanese soy n ginger sesame dressing. The house salad was a full blown assortment of greens, and cherry tomatoes, good for 3 people. I was thoroughly satisfied with the quality and volume, for $5. My Unagi bowl followed and was a huge portion that I took half of it home for dinner. The quality of the unagi was excellent , and was nicely charred to perfection. I actually came back the following evening and ordered 2 more orders of Unagi, for my wife to try it as well. Chef Takeshi is a wine connoisseur, and he remembered the days when I use to bring my personal favorite Reds, to share with him over dinner. It's a small hole in the wall type setting, with awesome Japanese cuisine... check it out!!!
