The. BEST. Curry. I've had from a restaurant- hands down!! Long lines at lunch, takes a while to be seated and get your food, but it's worth it!

So my kiddos love this place but again everyone has different likes and dislikes. This was definitely not the place for me or my partner. Food was so so but I’ve had better tasting curry. Japanese style curry is said to be sweeter and not as spicy. This curry can not be described as sweeter or flavorful for that matter. I’ll stick to my Thai curry. Also the teriyaki fried chicken had this weird taste I didn’t care for. It was overpoweringly sweet and nothing else. Not to brag but my teriyaki tastes better and that’s not just me saying so. I’ve made it for snack bar during my kiddos high school years during the band events his school sponsored and for my other kiddos swim meets at Mt. SAC (2 day events- (sold out- over 100 teriyaki chicken bowls during every event).I’ve had people ask if it was store bought, nope I make it myself. My partner and I will definitely not come back, my kiddos will come again but closer to home. As always you’ll need to try it out for yourself. Who knows—- you may love it or say no thank you 🙂‍↔️

We ordered: chicken cutlet with side of dumplings, pork cutlet with dumplings, side of veggies in curry (mostly potatoes), side of cutlet, green salad, and 2 cutlet salads but only one came but charged for both. Drinks: Thai tea which needed some work- not sweet on the bland side.

Didn’t take photos of the food. So sorry 😞

Just an FYI: if you have pork allergies- make sure to ask if there is any cross contamination. I had an allergic reaction about 20 minutes after eating my “none” pork meal.

As a long-time fan of Japanese curry, I was thrilled to finally visit a Curry House CoCo Ichibanya – my first time at this particular chain, though I'm no stranger to the style, having frequented a beloved (and now sadly closed) Curry House in Westwood pre-pandemic. I was so happy to find the menus quite similar, with all my old favorites present and accounted for!
We started with the Garlic Cheese Naan, which was absolutely delicious fresh and hot, though it did lose a bit of its magic as it cooled – so definitely enjoy it quickly! It was also my boyfriend's very first foray into Japanese curry, and I'm happy to report he absolutely loved it. He opted for the spicy teriyaki fried chicken, while I indulged in my classic chicken cutlet. Both dishes were just as rich and flavorful as I remembered, hitting all the right notes of comforting deliciousness.
My only minor disappointment was that they were out of iced coffee, which would have been a perfect complement. Nevertheless, the overall experience was fantastic, and I'm already planning my next visit to have my old favorite, the keema curry! I'll definitely be back when I'm in San Diego.

Been here so many times, and I like coming here. I like the choices of the curry, the mix and match, and the spice level. Decent large size serving for quite the price of the food.
Honestly, I think the inside is a little too crowded the way the tables are set up but I don’t mind. I come here for the Japanese curry. Friendly staff and good service. They get super busy at times and line starts forming outside. Parking gets very difficult since it’s also located in a busy commercial area. But will definitely recommend.

Been a while since I was in Japan but, this absolutely hits like I was there again! The curry was just how I remember it. Will absolutely stop in every time I'm here.

Visiting Coco’s always feels like I just teleported back to Japan! The staff is always so friendly and the service is fast! We had the chicken and pork cutlet dishes and a side of French fries. Pro tip, the curry makes the perfect dipping sauce for the fries!

Amazing food as always. Not as good the ones in Okinawa, Japan but still hits the spot and craving. Everything in the menu is great.

Ordered a stewed beef with Extra Rice, Side Mushroom, Natto and Vegetable.

They forgot the stewed beef and extra rice.
I got jipped.

Food was good though.
