Portions are kind of small but it’s the best Japanese curry I’ve had in my life (never been to Japan unfortunately). Can get crowded so you might have to do a to-go order. ~$17 for an order after tax

Curry: 4.5/5 This curry is very good. It is slightly sweet, savory, and has a depth to it. That being said, it stays within the parameters of a typical Japanese curry. The only thing that docked it from being perfect was that the texture was not perfectly smooth. There is this sort of floury grain to it that I associate with store-bought curries that took me slightly aback. I also sort of miss the flavor of having spiciness cooked in the sauce rather than just putting a powder on top. Oh, and more pickles!
Karaage: 4.5/5 The Curry Club does a phenomenal job at frying. The chicken was moist and crispy. I normally do not like karaage with my curry because it has that sort of karaage taste (ginger, soy, etc.) but this was recommended by my waitress and it was awesome.
Fried Again, great fried shrimp, almost no notes. It DOES have that slight mushy texture right between the coating and shrimp that I really detest, but I have accepted that is just part of the experience at this point. Solid choice if you want seafood.
This egg was shockingly good. It puts most of the ramen shops in San Diego to shame. Well marinated, perfectly gooey, a great balance between sweet and salty, the literal perfect egg. I’m not sure if it matched the curry, but I would just eat it as dessert to be honest.
Ambiance: The restaurant is casual but nice. I don’t see why you couldn’t make this a more special restaurant date.
Service: Service was very fast and kind. They “served” just the perfect amount.
Parking: The parking lot is a vast lot. Very easy, no pain.

A chicken katsu curry is really tasty. If you want some spicy, you can put some wiri wiri pepper 🌶.
A good Japanese katsu curry, if you’re looking for a substantial meal there’s no better place.

For the price and the small quantity… I’d prefer a different curry spot! I ordered the most spicy and barely felt the spice level I expected or wanted. Ordered the curry moco and was mediocre. Also ordered the chicken katsu and again the qua tutu was smaller that most other spots!

My favorite restaurant ever. I think about it everyday (not a joke). I was going once a week at one point and took multiple of my friends. The flavor of the curry is out of this world.

The curry was pretty good, flavorful and satisfying. I just wish it had some veggies like potatoes, carrots, or onions to round it out. Still a solid option for a quick and easy meal!
Katsu Curry w/ Tempura Shrimp was Fire!!! Definitely the closest thing to the real thing and Hands down best Japanese curry spot in San Diego

We both got the Chicken Katsu curry. I added the potato croquette and my wife added the mixed vegetables which included carrots, potatoes, and broccoli. It was amazing and so delicious!! I would highly recommend.

Pretty decent experience. Their curry is not that deep but it is good. Chicken karage was good.

Disappointing.

Been here 3 times and it’s delicious and satisfying every single time!
Good portion for the price and the food cook well and fresh. The location is prime, plenty of parking. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The pickled radish is probably my favorite thing!
