I had high expectations for this Japanese curry restaurant, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to them. The “Wagyu” is not Wagyu tasted like ordinary, inexpensive beef, nothing special in terms of texture or flavor. It definitely didn’t have the rich, buttery quality you’d expect.
The curry itself was just mediocre. The lunch should cost $30, now cost $60. Sadly, it’s not a place I would return to.
The restaurant is run by Chinese not Japanese

I order delivery from this restaurant all the time, the food comes perfectly packed and warm, and absolutely delicious. I have not had anything bad from here

We were very satisfied with our dishes: Wagyu steak rice bowl $25. Generous portions of quality steak with great sauce. Chubby Curry Wagyu steak rice plate was also excellent although the curry itself was just average, similar to what you can make at home with Golden Curry packets.

Ordered the spicy and non spicy curry. Both were well prepared. Also ordered the katsu on the side caused I didn't want the curry to drench out the crunchy skin and it was good. Overall everything was great here including the service and attention given to detail. Will definitely return to try a few other items. Thanks for the dinner!

Did they delete my bad review from last time? Second time here, the roast beef don is good, fries is good, fried oyster normal Udon too salty Spciy curry too sour Normal curry is better But still dont think this place is a legit curry place doesnt feel like it Indeed more like a family restrants they sell everything fried food burger sushi curry noodle The 2nd floor is big and interior is nice A lot of table nice for big families and gathering But they only use ipad to order so do takes times to read for everyone and hard to find waiter sometimes

Is it supposed to taste like that? Ordered a wagyu bowl, beef bowl, side of broccoli, and side of mushrooms. The flavor was so strange and inedible, almost like a burnt oil, possibly contaminated or rancid? Couldn't eat anything.

I really like enjoy the environment of the restaurant. Food quality is worth the price. Service is quick and friendly. Overall would go again even in this economy. It's good to have a restaurant at this quality in Covina
My partner and I decided to try the curry here since we love eating curry. We decided on this restaurant because of the raving reviews however it was very disappointing. The food was bland and the interaction with our waiter was uncomfortable. The waiter offered us a free drink in exchange for a review. He stood next to us the entire time which made us feel forced to leaving a positive review. Additionally, the drink we received tasted extremely sweet and was just an awful flavor. My partner and I felt terrible having to spend a good amount of money for disappointing food. We didn’t finish our entire meal and we left feeling horrible. I would not suggest this restaurant for people who want to splurge on food, it will disappoint you and make you regret spending your hard earn money here.

Horrible service, food is pre-made with curry cube from the supermarket, and sells for $26. Not worth it.

While the store is cute (meh, as cute as it can get with tacky Japanese art on curtains mixed with actually cute One Piece figurines), the food is very overpriced for its size, taste, and service.
It took a very long time for the iPad to get to us before we can order, and afterwards the food took almost 25 minutes to come out.
We couldn’t flag down a waiter for water refills for a while.
While they may look large in the photo, they were oddly unfulfilling portions with shocking prices considering the taste. The gyudon was small and not all that flavorful/salty? Katsu curry was much larger but wasn’t anything special; I felt like it would have been tastier if I made it at home. A lot of rice.
The worst offender was the dumplings. Don’t get those. It came out first before the main dishes, and we were so disappointed in them that we were dreading our actual mains. Terrible sauce, thick skin, skimpy meat, flavorless, and cold. And barely an inch and a half in size. I don’t know how one can mess up so badly on dumplings and have the audacity to charge that much for them just because it was wagyu or something. The meat was the worst part of that dish.
I’m hoping it was maybe just a bad one time experience. While I personally wouldn’t go back again, give it a shot. Maybe I just got unlucky that day.

Atmosphere is 10/10 very nice decor Service is 8/10 order via iPad food came out relatively fast
Food 5/10 There wasn’t enough curry with the amount of rice and meat given .
Value 3/10 it’s a bit expensive for the amount of food you get . For the price you can easily go eat ayce elsewhere. I was a bit disappointed with the portions
