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.

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

Had to desperately use the restroom as l have BAM (bile acid malabsorbtion) as l no longer have a gallbladder. UK has a card to let people know about your medical condition that allows you to use any restroom (but not here in the US). I usually go at Starbucks but it was out of order. Paid $18 (robbed) to keep from total humiliation by shitting my pants as you can't just order a drink & use their restroom, it has to be FOOD. Employees very rude about it too. It should be illegal. I wish l HAD crapped myself and then sat down in a booth until all the customers either puked or left. I would never eat here again based on principle alone. It is cruel.

The last time I went here for lunch, I ordered via a kiosk. I remember the curry tasting great here, so I wanted to order in for dinner. This time, however, a waiter provided service. Note that you cannot bring in food or drinks from outside establishments inside the restaurant. I ordered boba online from the place next-door, and I had to finish my food before I went back to pick up my drink. One good thing is that if you're in a rush, you can receive your food quickly. I ordered the spicy pork katsu this time. The curry tasted good, but the pork felt tough. I could easily take the spiciness, but I feel like having it non-spicy would taste better next time. They also give you a metal spork to scoop the curry with the katsu. However, you can still ask for chopsticks. After I paid and tipped, I asked the waiter for the bathroom code. A man at the table next to mine asked for the code before me, but I didn't hear it. When I asked the waiter, he said, "Come on," with a slightly annoyed attitude. The waiter gave me the code, but I just felt confused at his initial reaction. Travel note: I recommend taking the Metro A/E line to Champion's Curry because of its close proximity to Little Tokyo Station.

Excellent service, great katsu and hamburg. Cozy place for a weekend
Came here on a Friday night around 7:30 PM with some friends. It wasn't packed and was seated quickly. I thought it was a fast food restaurant, but it was actually a sit down and serve restaurant. The decor was really yellow but nice. We opted for the pork katsu but we're debating between original and spicy for the longest time. After reading reviews and talking with the server, I got the original because everyone was saying the spicy was pretty hot. One bold friend ended up with the spicy but and mentioned it wasn't that spicy. The pork itself was really juicy and flavorful. Came out of the dryer piping hot, just how I like it. Next time I'll opt for the spicy pork katsu. We also ordered some $6 sake high cans which were 15% ABV. Was really smooth and good! Definitely recommend. Parking is always tough in this area, there's street parking and apparently the restaurant validates for the structure.

Pork katsu was juicy af. Curry was flavorful and hit the spot. We considered getting regular vs spicy curry and was scared off from the comments about spicy. If you're a spicy lover, don't get scared, I tried my friend's spicy curry and it wasn't bad. I would've ordered it too. They had a deal for $6 sake cans, Sake High, it was pretty smooth and worth it.
Horrible POS place. My child was in rush to use to restroom. We were willing to pay for the meal however the server would not provide code for restroom. He was busying with his customers on the table. Seriously it only takes seconds to provide the info. I asked the staffs in the kitchen for the code but they wouldnt give us the code. Buncha a hole running the business.

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.

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.

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!
