After my brother and I had a terrible experience in Kiraku and still hungry, we came to Nippon Curry. Even though it a fast food restaurant, the cashier spoke fluent English and kept smiling. The space was big enough. There were no required seating rule, no several trash cans outside, no dark light. We could know the food clearly through pictures. The cashier told us what she personally liked and which dish was the most popular. Then, we place the order real quick within 2 mins including asking questions. $28 for two dishes including nice straightforward service and environment. That was all we needed, it was excellent.

Excellent curry located right across from Cal - one of our favorites in Berkeley. Fast casual setup.

Haven't had japanese curry in so long and katsu curry was so good. I ordered regular size but for me it was kind of large portion. My husband ordered karaage curry and he really liked the way the chicken was cooked. 2pc creamy crab croquettes were really good but I didnt like the other croquettes. I'll be coming back when I crave some katsu curry

It is basically a take out spot. The number of seats is very limited. The food was solid. The croquettes in particular were good. Service, however, was abysmal. We basically got mistreated because we asked for the special offer (extra item when you order specific dishes) only after the order was complete. The attitude and the tone of voice were completely out of place. I regret not making a scene.

10/10 curry experience. Love their croquettes. Their takeout container protects the crispy katsus and croquettes. My favorite croquette is the regular potato. Counter service, really fast.
Amazing food! I love the tonkatsu curry, it reminds me of Japan, Coco Ichibanya. It's so great to have someplace here to remember that taste and atmosphere that this chain gave. If you ever come by Berkeley, this is the spot to go!
Calm empty good for self study environment while grabbing some lunch

Delicious 🤤! I have never eaten Japanese curry before and it is so mouthwateringly good. The food is served piping hot freshly made. I ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry with a side of Karrage Chicken. Service is always quick and staff is always welcoming. This is the only place I’ve seen near campus that prides themselves in quality food making.

Didn't know what to eat after a long hike. We saw this place that was new to us. It was definitely worth it, best curry I had in a while and hits the spot! 10/10

IT WAS SO GOOD that we double ordered! A friend and I initially shared one dish because we weren't that hungry, but we ended up ordering another. Genuinely amazing food - the best food I've had in Berkeley 🤍The worker was very polite :) The prices are pretty reasonable, our food came out steaming hot, and the person working there directed us to a really nice self-serving water station. He also introduced us to some complimentary foods to go with our orders. The restaurant was also extremely clean and was an overall feel-good experience.

This is the BEST restaurant in the area. The food is phenomenal, the best meal I’ve had in the area, and the people working here are the nicest you’ll ever find. The best curry I’ve ever had was at this restaurant, and I felt such immense joy. Also the water was nice and crisp.
The food was so good I got 2 servings! This restaurant is perfect in every possible way. So yummy. Both of the servings shown below!
AMAZING food, and lovely service!
