It's been a while since I visited. This time I felt a little disappointed.
The water that comes out after arriving at the store tastes bad. During my two-month long stay in America, this was the worst water I've ever tasted. It smells like earth.
The food is delicious. It's the taste of Japan.
I ordered oyakodon, but the quantity was a little small and it was not covered with eggs, but rather mixed together. Personally, I would like a little more quantity.
The amount of fried rice that my friend ordered seems to be a lot, so the amount may vary depending on the menu.
The taste is great. You can also get extra candy. It's worth coming once. However, it is a little expensive.

Authentic Japanese curry that’s truly scratch made with no artificial ingredients. The flavors truly come through. Chicken and pork are perfectly cooked and juicy. This is definitely the best Japanese curry we’ve had and glad that it’s in Dallas!

The food was amazing, I had the chicken katsu curry and it was the best Japanese curry I’ve had. The service was impeccable, our waiter was very attentive and answered any questions we had. I definitely recommend this establishment!

My boys and I got a taste for pork katsu curry after visiting Japan last year. We all agreed that this is the best version by far that we have had outside of Japan. The owner is also very nice and welcoming. She spends 60 to 72 hours slow cooking the curry. A lot of restaurants use the curry packets that we can use at home, and just don't have the same magic. We will absolutely come here again.

Came here because I saw a review. They have a really good Japanese curry that my son really likes. My daughter also likes their ramen. The tempura was not too thick with batter, and crunchy.

Thick cut chicken curry and delicious white rice! It is a match made in Heaven! The place was empty when my wife and I visited but I hope more people can come and fix that!

This was our first time visiting after new ownership has taken over.
My wife and I went for dinner. She ordered the tonkatsu ramen and I ordered the pork and chicken katsu rice.
The Curry was very good, probably the best ive had in the States, lots of depth in flavor. Between the Pork and Chicken. The pork was way better.
The complaint is the rice could have been better cooked. It was hard in my opinion. Which means it did not absorb the curry sauce very well. Would still definitely order again.
For the ramen, the broth was great, the pork belly could have been better cooked and more generous in size.
Complaint I have is that the broth came out warm not hot and the noodles were very thin. There is an upcharge for "wavy noodles".

Amazing and authentic Japanese Bistro with some impressive signature dishes! Very quaint setting with idyllic Japanese inspired inner decor, perfect for date night with your SO or even just a small business luncheon. My wife and I tried them on a whim and totally enjoyed the experience. The katsudon curry is phenomenal that reminded me of a light but blended gravy with hints of basil, paprika and even mild cayenne. Not spicy per se just delicious that compliments the crispy pork. My wife couldn’t even get a full sentence out for few mins while she happily dove into her bowl of sukiyaki don . I could hardly blame her for swatting away my utensils when I tried to gnaw a bite of the tenderly seasoned beef in the stew. Hearty and mouthwatering were her descriptors. Guess I’ll find out for myself next time. Make no mistake, food is prepared fresh to order and gives you the inviting feeling of sitting down to a home cooked meal. Great and courteous waitstaff to boot. And the prices are super reasonable for generous servings. Love it and will return for sure! ? ? ??

My family and I LOVE INO! They are super toddler friendly too. They have special plates for the kids and silver ware and they treat them with such great attention!! The katsu curry is soooo delicious! Everyone please try this place and support small businesses!
So delicious! Chicken Katsu is the best. Don’t miss the curry, it’s also very delicious.

TLDR: Great and affordable katsu and curry with friendly service.We went to Ino and got both the salmon bento box and the pork katsu. We also had friends who got the chicken katsu, which is also good. If we had a time machine, we both would have gotten the pork katsu.The curry has a fantastic flavor to it, and the katsu is nice and crispy with the pork still being flavorful and moist. It's also a massive portion (especially for the price), so come hungry and leave satisfied! The chicken is almost as good, but I find pork to be the superior meat for katsu.The bento box was just ok. The salmon is cooked well, it just doesn't have the same depth of flavor as the katsu & curry.The service here is excellent and we were greeted by the chef during and after our lunch. She was extremely polite and kind.
Parking: Parking in front of and behind the place, so there should always be a spot!

I haven't been to Ino in years, but I used to go quite often for sushi and occasionally ramen and curry years ago. I came back to a very different menu experience: very simple, but that much better for it! Curry at Ino has always been good (I don't like curry, but they now only have curry and ramen as entree types, no sushi), but they must have changed the recipe because it is SO MUCH BETTER than even before. The spicy chicken karage was fantastic as well. The pre-meal miso soup was a little salty for me, but fine as miso soup goes.Definitely coming back to make even better memories!

Was craving soba on a hot day, it was so good! They make their own Soba, curry, ramen sauces from what I was told. Will definitely go back again to try other dishes!
