I am new to the area and was craving some pork katsu curry . Found this place and wow . Legit best katsu curry I have had in my entire life . So flavorful. Love how they include extra curry powder so you can customize your flavor and spice levels. Perfect amount of rice and curry. Friendly fast service I was taking it to go and the guy told me it would be 15 minutes but it was a bit faster. Got the large size with extra katsu and it filled me up. Would definitely go here again.

curry! katsu curry is some of my favorite food to get. my friend and i usually like to go to the same place over and over, but i think this was a great new place to try. place is a little small inside, but we didn't have to wait. strong ac inside even on a hot day. crunchy katsu, delicious curry, and a light but tasty omelette. would totally go back to try some other things!

We wanted to try this place out and compare it with coco Ichibanya. I loved this place more. I’m a huge udon lover and their noodle is very chewy and tasted fresh. The curry base was delicious too, not too thick and very flavorful. Highly recommend!

Went here about a month ago and it was delicious. Now the portion sizes are awesome. The curry was pretty awesome, especially if you get the hot one it was savory and hot, I cant say if the other ones are any different but they are going to be great. But overall the food was good, the rice isn't the best of the best but its still good rice. I mean after all you are eating it with curry so its not like you will be tasting the rice only. Overall the dish was a good balance even though i wanted more rice but then again that is just me because i wanted to keep eating . Will be back again!!

I found the best Japanese Katsu Curry in Orange County. The Chicken Katsu was very delicious, and the curry sauce had a great taste. The service was so pleasant, which made the food even more delicious. I will definitely come here often.

It is a very nice place with a wonderful atmosphere. The pork katsy curry is a very comfy food. Pork was crispy outside and tender inside. I wish more customers for this place ^^

Yummy! I was craving Japanese curry but didn't want chicken, so I gave this place a try. The portions are great for the price and I ended up with leftovers, which I couldn't wait to eat once I got home! The katsu pork was crunchy and juicy and the curry was divine! The staff is friendly and the interior design is cute.
