Very good curry with very tender meat.I had the pork katsu with the spicy curry and it was delicious. It could have used a little more heat, but there is extra chili powder available.The staff was also very nice, friendly, and attentive.

This place is pretty good but I feel like the curry needs more rice.
Love this curry place! Super friendly staffs and the food hits!The rice was sticky, food was hot and you can tell it was made to order.The fish was crispy and was good with the tartar sauce. It was my first time getting Japanese curry with fried fish but it was a good combo!Hamburg steak was juicy and savoryThe spicy curry was certainly spicy!! ?️Parking is validated in the parking lot behind it where the now former staples/Office Depot building used to be.

Ordered via ubereats. The curry is okay. It’s kinda mid. Not going to eat here again lol sorry. I was looking for authentic Japanese curry but it tastes like inauthentic and cold.

Beware this place is some sort of tourist trap. I bought a full meal and wants to use bathroom the cranky cooking guy said bathroom is only for regular paying customer. Then he said will cancel my order and refund my money. But guess what still no refund and the staff was very rude. I hope no one gets scammed in this place

Some of the best curry around. If you care just about the food you can ignore the negative reviews. I do wish I could just pop in for a fast casual sit-down instead of having a full service dine-in especially during lunch time.
Super yummy. I love it. I have been four times now over about two years. I live outside of LA county now but it has made it for a restaurant I return to when around or want something more casual and quick. The curry always meets expectations. Only thing I wish they had are some croquettes but so worth it if you’re around and craving some curry and love that it’s a main entree here versus a side in addition to many other items served. More modern take but classic taste. I get the pork katsu here. Great flavor and not too fatty. I love that they have curry with noodles also which is how my father ate curry growing up.Love the style and feel of the restaurant as well. Thank you!

Chicken Katsu spicy curry rice / breaded chicken, tomato rakkyo salsa, sour cream sauce, chives - 5 ?!Side of kurobuta sausage - 5 ?!Japan had a treasured national curry dish that is often featured on many Japanese menus. But it is awesome to see a place like Champion's Curry specializing in this amazing curry. Sushi and ramen are the ones everyone knows, but if you've never had Japanese curry before, I recommend you give a try! It definitely is not the same as other countries.I had actually come across Champion's Curry once before when they collaborated with Prime Pizza to serve a wagyu pizza with a side of curry sauce, and I knew I wanted to try out their menu as soon as I could.I had the chicken and asked them to make it spicy. I like spice, but I was certainly not quite ready for how hot they make it! It isn't going to cause chaos, but be warned it has a bite to it.The chicken was very well cooked. The panko breading was crispy, and the chicken was tender. The curry was packed with flavor (in addition to the spice). I had already had a snack somewhere else, so I skipped the sides, but I was intrigued by the karage.When I visit this area, which is 4 to 6 times a year, I always use street parking, so I'm not sure if there is parking.

Maybe one of the best Japanese curries I've ever had. The flavors in the curry and quality of the rice were the on par with dishes I've had in Japan. Only thing is in Japan, such a dish would be significantly cheaper but that's goes for any restaurant in this country compared to there. I was surprised the spicy option was genuinely spicy. I always choose spicy when ordering Japanese food because they're never actually spicy anyway and are basically mild. This was fire. Loved it though.

Used to be self serving restaurants and good curry restaurants. But why you need to wait for seating for a fast restaurant??? Only order delivery now on.

Tried the spicy chicken Katsu curry and have only good things to say. The breading was crispy, crunchy, and tender. The curry, surprisingly, had a good spicy kick to it. The restaurant was clean and well kept.The katsu salad was light, refreshing, and tasty. Didn’t feel heavy after eating it and the dressing it had was yummy and different. Great service but the waitress who attended us on 11/14. Would come back again.

Really good and unique curry. It's heartier than your normal Japanese curry as it contains more flavor and meat bits. I personally like spicy food and their spicy curry actually has a kick! I usually get the chicken katsu curry spicy. The chicken always comes out really tender. Highly recommend giving this place a try.If you order delivery, the curry comes separated from the chicken and rice, so it doesn't get soggy.
