the food was exceptional, and the feel of the place is nice, laid back. the staff lacked in friendliness (A LOT) but I was not really there for the interaction today. I do appriciate that I could choose the amount of the rice portion to go with my chicken cutlet, as if i am served to much rice, i shall indeed eat too much rice. So, yes, the food was wonderful and it was a working lunch, so i was alone. Perhaps i will try in a few weeks in hopes of more welcoming vibes from the person behind the counter, as I would enjoy having a close choice to my partners office for strategy sessions.

This is the best Japanese curry in the United States. Granted I’ve only been to maybe 20 other Japanese curry spots mostly in Cali and NYC, but I did live in Japan for about a year and a half. This place would rival any great curry spot in Tokyo. Delicious. And the owner was nice and the place is cool. When I went there was no indoor dining but it was a beautiful Southern California day and there was outdoor seating.

I have lived in the south bay for a few years now. Whenever I think Japanese curry I thought of Coco, but I rarely went since I like going to unique places. Found this place and wow, outstanding. New go-to Japanese curry spot. Very well priced and the man that runs it is so nice. Highly recommend.

Went to this place for the second time today, and I must admit that the curry is so delicious. However, I give them 1 star for their service. The first time I went, the boss man was very unfriendly but I was like ok we all have bad days let’s try again. Nope, the boss today was also very unfriendly. I walked in and he was laughing with another customer ordering at the time who also happened to be Asian so I said hi to him and he just looked at me and walked away. Then another customer ordered after me who happened to be an Asian man, and we both waited outside for our food at the small tables set up. The boss brought the man his food outside to where we were sitting. Then when my food was ready, I thought ok he will do the same. Again, nope. He called out my number and left it inside on the shelves. As delicious as the curry is, I wouldn’t come back based on their horrible service. I only state the other customers being Asian because I’m not Asian, and I felt very uncomfortable with the things I witnessed as I waited for my food. As someone who has worked in customer service, I would never treat my customers any different based on anything.

Really good curry, they do run out of stuff really quickly but when there aren’t a lot of customers you should be able to get what you ordered. Might take a long time if there are a lot of orders.

Went in hoping for a comforting bowl of curry, but left with a bad taste in my mouth—and not from the food. I waited over 45 minutes, and when I politely asked about the delay, the owner got defensive and snapped at me, saying, “If you’re in such a hurry, don’t eat here.” The attitude was shockingly unprofessional. While waiting, I also noticed the owner stepping outside multiple times, possibly to smoke, and returning without washing up—which was really off-putting. There was no apology for the wait, no explanation—just hostility. I’ve eaten at many small local spots, and I always try to support them, but this one completely failed in basic hospitality. Won’t be coming back.

Best damn curry you’ll have in California let alone the US. I’ve been all over Japan and I’ve even made curry from scratch a few times but the medium spiced pork cutlet with corn, pickled radish and bacon bits was absolutely incredible. The sauce had like pork bits or beef in it! I wish they sold Tshirts or stickers. Go here now!

Great katsu curry option in Torrance! Owner was friendly and the food was quite delicious. I’ve had this on my list of places to try for some time and was happy I finally got a chance to stop by.
A very good curry store. Their curry actually gets pretty spicy if you ask for it. It is a little expensive so I don’t go as often as I’d like, but I look forward to going again.

Such a cozy place with tasty food! You don’t really have to interact with anyone, just place your order on a tablet and it will be done pretty fast. Portions are big. There are couple of tables outside. Also I would give this place 10 stars for a little figure of Jesus on a skateboard

The food here is great! The curry is tasty and there is a lot of options of sides to add alongside your curry. There are a handful of sizes and like most curry places, there is an option to choose your spice level.
I went pretty simple, I went with the middle size with chicken, an egg, vegetables, and the preserved daikon . If you are here just for curry, its one of the best spots in the area, but if you are here for a sit down meal and for a good atmosphere, you are definitely at the wrong place. Walking in, its kind of like walking into a ghost kitchen, cause there's only two iPads to take your orders and a very hard to follow menu. So that is why I gave it 3 stars for atmosphere and 4 stars for service, cause well, there is no service. So this place definitely gets the job done, but don't expect a place to sit down and eat.

This is a very small Japanese curry rice specialty store. There are no seats provided inside the store, only two small tables outside the door, so it mainly serves take-out foods. Customers can choose the amount of rice (white or brown) they want, plus three side dishes, and can also add on extras like fried chicken or pork cutlet. Customers can also choose different levels of spiciness for the curry. Basically, I admit their food tastes really good. For example, the fried shrimp I chose was very delicious. This store is a good choice to try it occasionally.

For a place that is a one man team, you can tell the owner put a lot of love into his craft. I was the last customer before they sold out. You know it good when they open at 6 & sold out by 7:30
