The chicken karaage is really good with a lot of flavor. The tonkatsu is also perfectly breaded and tender. The curry overall is good and but has some mild sourness to it. In terms of the curry itself I’ve had others that are better. There is table side spices to allow you to put heat into the curry which I really like.

I know little about Japanese curry, but what Curry Hyuga serves is very tasty. A nicely fried cutlet with a slightly sweet, mildly spiced brown gravy. The potato croquettes are also extremely tasty.

This curry place is very good and the food portion is huge! The service friendly. Food came out quick. This place is worth a try!
Chicken Katsu is the bomb! Pork is a little bit tough and dry

Stopped here on a stormy night after arriving late at SFO. I can see why they have so many great reviews. The restaurant is clean and simple, the menu is straightforward and the food is well priced and delicious. Loved that our order came out fast and hot.

I've been here so many times and finally writing a review. I usually just order them from Uber eats but finally came to sit down and eat. Came here on New Year's Eve for lunch and was able to get seated right away. There was a good amount of people. Their curry is always consistently good! I always get their tonkatsu curry and it satisfies my craving. You get your food pretty quickly and they have a bell for you to ring at your table if you need any service. Definitely would recommend to friends

Damn. OMG. Okay I get it the hype, totally 100% worth all the 5 star ratings on Yelp and elsewhere, I can now wrap my head around why it's on people top whatever list. This place is seriously and literally insanely dope. It is a beast. Their curry whip smart and slaps. I'm telling you, I had never eaten Japanese curry before, and being Indian, I went into this cynical and a bit skeptical (not proud of this), but I was so so so wrong. I had also never truly explored the notion of a Japanese curry, not knowing the history and origin. We got their chicken karaage curry with potato salad and an egg, comes with rice and a sauce with cabbage. It has a wicked color (in a good way :-), a darkly dangerous and seductive come hither look, smokey and intoxicating. I dipped my fork into into and tasted it alone--no rice, no nothing, just to get a clean flavor. BLOWN AWAY! Just breathless, and I stared at my husband in disbelief, waiting for him to take his bite. I have no idea how they build the deep umami type flavors in this curry, it's redolent of so so so many spices and simmered for a very long time in some kind of sealed pot. They are not cooking in that kitchen, they are doing witchcraft, an alchemical reaction. What is in that curry? My husband and ZI ate that thing down to the very last drop, practically drinking it as if it was a freaking soup. No joke. It has deep earthy flavors of onions simmered and roasted and grilled for hours, layered and over again with a tamarind and all sorts of other things, spices included. Here's the best part: it is so damn flavorful with no chili burning your mouth. I have colitis and cannot tolerate spicy oily chili laden stuff. This was richly flavored but they have five different kinds of chili powders, rated from numbers all the way up to five, so if you want your curry very spicy, you'd sprinkle this, and customize your food at the table, without the chef being presumptuous enough to assume you know how much spice to put in hour dish. How awesome is this? LOOOOOOOVE! I also got an Ajitama egg on the side on the same plate for a bit more protein, and who doesn't love a soft boiled egg, which in our case turned oj to be more hard boiled, but an egg is still delicious. The chicken itself is shatteringly fresh and fried to perfection, just the right amount of grease and not an unseemly amount. We shared a plate and the portion so generous, we came away more than stuffed, to the point we needed to take a walk afterward. The price is right, less than $20 for a huge plate of food, that two people can easily share. We also got their Yuzu lemonade, which I was hoping would be tart and it's sweet, which if that's your jam, go for it. They also have guava and blood orange lemonades. Street parking is easily available, if not directl on Broadway, on one of the many side streets off it. The customer service is super attentive and sweet, e.g. we told our server that we'd never been there before and did he have a recommendation between the two chicken dishes we were eyeing. Without hesitation, he pointed to one, which is what we ended up getting. If I could give this place TEN stars, I'd do it.

Tried this place out on a weeknight. Luckily no wait for us (a party of 3) at 7:30, but a heads up that this place doesn't do reservations. I'm a fan of this place - no frills, no fuss, just satisfying curry. We shared a Teishoku Rice Plate (pretty good) as well as a chicken Signature Katsu Curry (delicious). Both came out pretty fast and were nice and not. While the rice plate was good overall, the flavor was a bit muted relative to the katsu curry, and we weren't sure why the rice plate came with pasta noodles (which we felt were a bit bland). The katsu on the other hand was delicious. Great depth of the flavor and perfectly cooked/breaded chicken. Definitely get this dish. Finally, we were craving a bit of sweet after our meal but, unfortunately, no dessert option was available. I think a small dessert would've made a great end to a solid meal.
Hands down my favorite Japanese curry restaurant. Can get crowded but it's definitely worth it

If you want to experience authentic Japanese curry give Curry Hyuga a try. The service and food are all good. I liked it so much I also ordered some food to take home.

I was really craving katsu curry and this place seemed highly rated. We came in around noon lunch time and were seated with no wait. I tried the signature katsu curry with chicken. Portion wise, it's quite large and filling; you get a lot of food for a solid price point. The entree also comes with cabbage, potato salad, and fukujin pickles. The curry was a little tart/sour which did throw me off initially, but I was able to overlook that. They have various spices on the side that you can add ranging from 1-5 (extreme spicy). We also ordered the teppanji (sizzling chicken with onion infused namban sauce) to share. Curry Hyuga is an affordable and tasty katsu curry spot for a quick meal.

Good lunch spot in Burlingame. Food is good for both dine in and take out. There's many outdoor seatings in downtown Burlingame if you don't want to wait. Lines can get long depends on the time. Reception is no good inside for data. No guest wifi. One of best curry I know in the Peninsula. They have a bell on table for service.

You feel like you've been teleported to a Japanese diner when you dine inside. The interior design is very cute and homey. The curry itself is as very solid--comes with greens, rice, and protein of your choosing. The yuzu drink was refreshing. Overall, a very enjoyable experience. Favorite part for somebody who dislikes not knowing what the condiments are in unlabeled containers at other restaurants was the labeled spice rack with varying levels of spice at every table for you to adjust your meal as you pleased.
