Walked in looking for supper. You know, that thing before dinner. Your grandparents' dinner. I just missed lunch specials. I was greeted and the host/server knew the assignment. My order was in the beef curry with the steak bowl. Probably the best bang for a buck, my buck, your buck, whoever's buck. Steak on the rice was tender and delicious. I prefect egg sat on top of the rice. On the left, curry making its own entrance. I recommend coming here if you haven't tried it yet. Great concept and happy I tried it. I will be coming back. I liked the seating and decorations were ok. Priced well and very delicious.
We recently ordered Uber Eats for pickup, and it was such a disappointment. We ordered the Tonkatsu Kare, Oyakodon - Tonkatsu, and Tuna Handroll. The Tonkatsu was okay. It probably would've been better if we ate there, of course, but this review is mainly for the Tuna Handroll. The sushi was honestly really bad. It tasted and smelled like it was old or had gone bad. I couldn't even take a bite because it tasted so nasty. Pretty disappointed. Definitely wouldn't order the sushi again.
I got a side of tonkatsu, my dining companion got tonkatsu curry and we shared fried oysters and fukujinzuke. We both enjoyed our meals. While not overly large, the food portions were more than generous. Everything was well prepared and delicious. I'd definitely come back. As far as service goes, it was order by tablet, not much personable service. The server didn't seem that knowledgeable about the ingredients in the food. I asked because I have food allergies. The restaurant is small and I saw them turn some people away. So I would suggest a back up option dining in during peak times.
A nice spot for curry and high quality flavors. I was impressed by how easy it was to make a reservation on Yelp, and we were seated quickly for lunch. My waiter was amazing and really went above and beyond, helping with the high chair (and sanitizing it for me), kids plates and drink cup, and swooping in within 30 seconds of a massive spill my baby made. SO impressed. The food was just as impressive! Order via a tablet at your table, and it sends the order to your waiter who confirms it. Their Chicken karaage appetizer was crisp outside and juicy in the center with great flavor. Their Wagyu Curry was great as well, with tender wagyu pieces and a nice curry base. Their chicken katsu curry was also perfectly cooked and tender as well. Will need to come back for dinner as no sushi at lunch.
Decided to give this place a try due to the hype I saw since a year or two ago. Came to this restaurant at 1PM and the place is dead with just 1 table occupied. I believe they used to serve chirashi so there's a sushi bar but possibly due to less business, the sushi bar is just empty. No server was up front for a few min and there's no bell to press to notify anyone that there's customers. Ordering is done via tablet on the table with everything labeled with a corresponding photo. They have few options for lunch special so I opt in for the beef curry + seaweed salad + miso soup/soda lunch option for $24. Ordered the Wagyu dumpling and a crab croquette to try as well. I would skip the dumpling if I were you. It's just like boiled dumpling with some sprinkles and sauce on the side. Not worth the $9. Crab croquette is overall decent . Standard price for 2 pieces like most Japanese restaurants. The main course curry comes with a bowl of white rice with 4 pieces of broccoli. Curry itself contains potato, carrot, and meat. Portion size is decent. Overall taste is more on the Japanese sweeter flavor with a little bit of a kick from possibly white pepper but might be a little spicy for kids. Decent but if ordered alone for $24, I would not recommend.
Visited on a Sunday afternoon and was seated right away. The restaurant is on the smaller side, with both bar and booth seating available. It felt a little stuffy inside because of the hot weather, but they had a floor fan that helped cool the space. Ordering is done through an iPad, which made the process quick and easy. I ordered the Tonkatsu Curry with medium spice. The portion size was small, but the curry was flavorful with a noticeable kick, as I ordered medium spicy. The tonkatsu arrived hot, crunchy, and tasty. There is a parking lot in the back, or you can try to find street parking in the front. Service was a little slow toward the end of our meal, as we had to wait for our check and to-go boxes, but overall, it was a good experience.
In the search of a new Friday date-night spot, my husband and I came across chubby curry on Yelp recommendations. We both have never tried Japanese style curry and the pictures looked absolutely delicious. Located in the busy downtown Covina area nightlife is loud and busy, in a good way! If you're looking to park near the restaurant, come with plenty of time as street parking, especially during the night is hard to come across. Although, they do have a parking structure that's just about a block away, which is not much of a walk! It's a very small restaurant with not much seating, but we didn't have to wait much on a Friday night-15 minutes max but they do have a Yelp sign up. If you know you're coming I recommend you do this. We were seated, and I should mention that the hospitality was amazing! My husband and I were well taken care of and all of our questions answered. Whenever we try a new spot that looks as good as this we try to get a little bit of everything. As you see from the pictures, we had lots to try from and I can safely say that I will be back to try a lot more! The food was super juicy, meats were tender, the sushi was delicious...... I left absolutely stuffed! My husband says this is easily one of his new favorite spots :)
Food was very flavorful and cooked well. Review will be in the photos. Service was great. They even changed the order for my daughter's kids meal to have noodles substituted without any charge. My only complaint would be that I wished they advised us that with the party of 6 or more, that a tip was included already. But that's also our fault that we didn't ask before putting the additional tip. We know for next time. Love the the wooden decor. Made us feel that we were back in Japan.
After visiting XPOT in Las Vegas, e decided to become a member of the CHUBBY CATTLE GROUP. We were on our way to LA so we searched on YELP for the nearest Chubby Cattle Group restaurant and made sure it had high ratings... CHICKEN KATSU CURRY: 10/10 My expectations were low so I was BLOWN AWAY at how good their CHICKEN KATSU was!! The chicken was so JUICY & TENDER. I usually don't event like eating chicken katsu and I end up eating the curry and rice but, the CHICKEN KATSU WAS THE STAR OF THE SHOW... WAGYU GYOZA: 8/10 It was good especially the filling. The texture of the steamed gyoza was really thick. I think I might have like a fried version more... My husband said they have the KATSU breading and the hamburger meat so they can definitely do a katsu burger and curry dish! AKA MENCHI... SERVICE: A+ Our server was such a delight to take to!! He spoke to us as if we've been friends for years!! Made us feel so at home and recommended his favorite dishes to us. We wish him ask the best with his CAREER!!! AMBIANCE: I really felt like I was transported to a cute Japanese cafe and bar. There were wooden booths and a nice demo display of the dishes at the window in the front... We definitely be back in a HURRY for more CHUBBY CURRY!!!!
Doesn't surprise me this is part of the chubby cattle empire because it's DELICIOUS! Had 2 very fresh yellowtail handrolls - they have other ones too - and the wagyu beef bowl. It comes with rice and egg and is a surprisingly big portion. I looooved it, esp the garlic butter which was a nice touch. My friend got the wagyu curry and let me have a bite and it was incredible! A gentle and comforting flavor and generous chunks of beef. Plus rice. Overall, incredible experience & cant wait to return! We didnt wait at all and it had a good amount of parking.
I wanted to like it more. I think the curry is just missing that zing, but overall it is above average. The wagyu is definitely really tender in the curry. It almost melted in your mouth, and was the best part of the meal. I would like if they added more vegetables to the curry. Also got the udon, and it was pretty overall good. They have some deals on weekdays. We might come in during a deal. Just wish the curry had more a zing taste, and it would make this place outstanding. Without that strong taste of curry, this place falls a little short. Service was okay. Good for a date. Has some places to walk around afterwards.
Heard about the chubby chain so thought we'd give this place a try. It was however not satisfactory. If you were expecting Japanese style curry with a deep and rich flavoring, this place is not for you. That's what I was expecting and so was disappointed in my curry. For a party of 4 we order a few dishes to share. We ordered: Tonkatsu Kare: katsu was delicious, good crisp and flavor. Curry lacked flavor and was very light. Curry was thin. Wagyu steak bowl - 10/10 best thing we ordered. Wagyu had very good flavor Wagyu burger - was juicy but lacked a savory flavor Macha bingso - enjoyable and a good size for 4 people. I was happy the matcha flavor had the typical matcha bitterness to it, and did not taste like the sugary fake syrup you get at some restaurants Parking is easy to find and the restaurant seems like it can accommodate quite a few people on the floor above as well. The space is cozy, comfortable and cutely decorated. Probably won't be coming back however, as this style of curry doesn't meet my needs in a curry.
The "Chubby" chain of restaurants are fantastic, however, this is my least favorite one for a few reasons. I believe this is their take on Japanese curry and Japanese dishes, so I understand it's going to be different but I didn't realize HOW different until I tried it. The curry is actually okay, the sauce I mean, but almost everything else is way off from what you'd expect. If you're a fan of Japanese dishes at all, you'll immediately be able to tell. Let's go over the dishes I tried. The Chicken Katsu Curry, something I order almost everywhere, was a huge let down because for the breading or Panko crust it's supposed to have was a chewy Tempura batter. It was definitely not crispy how you normally would expect it to be. Unfortunately that really ruined it for me. The taste of the actual curry was okay though! The Gyu-don I tried there was also a heavier sauce than what's normally in a gyu-don. It was closer to a curry than a light sweet soy sauce. VERY salty. It wasn't terrible, it was just not what you'd expect if you're used to Japanese dishes and the way they normally taste. I will also say the fatty beef that was in my dish either wasn't cooked properly or was extremely chewy and couldn't cut it with my teeth... A few pieces were inedible. I also tried their Yellowtail Handroll. Not horrible but fish seemed pretty dry? I assume they don't sell much of these. This is my second time trying the food here so I was hoping it was gonna change, but either way it's the closest "Japanese" curry spot near me, so I was hoping it'd get better. Again, I love their other restaurants, but this one is definitely lacking. I hope they get better. I'd like to come back someday.
Place is intimate, booth seating. I got the takoyaki which was 5/5 and the Waygu curry. It was good I liked the protein more than the curry flavor. Service was straight forward, got our order, received our meal and paid. I think the price point was high. I may return for the takoyaki. read more

Service was nice, each table had their own ipad for ordering but the server would still come by the table to check if we needed anything and to bring water. Udon-know me 3/5 The thin beef slices were very tender and overall the dish was enjoyable. But the curry sauce felt a little diluted and lacking compared to the curry dishes. I wish the sauce was a little thicker so it could hold onto the noodle better. Wagyu curry 5/5 This is what we would come for! The wagyu steak was extremely tender, we wished there were more pieces. read more

At 11am on a Wednesday, it wasn't crowded, and we found a parking spot in-front easily. I imagine it is busier during lunch or dinner hours though, and parking is likely more difficult too. We tried their wagyu and chicken curry today. The wagyu was soft and juicy, and the chicken was perfectly cooked and crispy on the outside. I ordered my curry in medium heat and found the spice level perfect (I normally order things in mild at other places). Their portions are good for one person only. A bit pricey, but the flavors and food were delicious. Service was friendly and quick. We didn't try anything else on the menu today, but it's definitely worth trying if you like katsu! read more

TLDR: An upscale Japanese establishment that knows what it's all about. You're asked to spend more, but the ingredients are ideally of higher quality. It's worth a try, but I would recommend finding discounts here and there. Gyu-don: It's definitely one of the better beef bowls that I've had. A creamy beef, mushroom, and onion mixture that pairs well with rice. The soft boiled egg being mixed in the rice bowl gives the bowl an almost risotto feel. I was impressed, as only very few restaurants achieve such a texture. The one less than ideal part of the bowl is the beef itself. In an establishment that markets itself as a place that serves high quality ingredients, it's a shame that the beef here is probably the cheapest cut of meat. $18 per bowl is a steep price for one beef bowl that is weakest on the beef side. It becomes a better deal with Uber Eats' "Buy 1 Get 1" offer. I think that's the only time I'd gladly get this. Otherwise, it's reluctant. Service: We ordered this for pickup and it was ready when I was there to pick it up. Outside of 1 pair of chopsticks in the to-go bag, some more utensils would have been appreciated. Ambiance: I think the photos here give justice to the place and the upscale yet casual feel that they're going for. I didn't spend enough time inside to have an opinion on it. read more

Their food was great Parking is actually not too bad, plenty of street parking, and a parking lot in the back. Ordered their curry and fried rice. They're both delicious but for $24 curry it was a little bit on the pricier side. Service interaction was minimal, they had iPads at each table for ordering. Overall a good place for a quick lunch. read more

Came here thinking this is part of the Chubby Group just to at least get my discount from buying Chubby Club membership. What I ordered: Wagyu rice bowl - this was ok but I really question that this is wagyu. I buy prime from Costco and the meat I eat at home was better than this. I know they do not claim A5 so I wasn't expecting it. Miso soup - chubby club membership gets you soup for free as the only discount (this soup is $4 btw) Salmon handroll - the seaweed was super chewy. Seems like the seaweed package was left open for too long. Don't think I will be back. Very over priced for the quality of the food. read more

First time dining at this restaurant in the heart of downtown Covina. Good seating areas for party of 4-6 on the main floor. Apparently, there is seating available upstairs as well but didn't have a chance to go up. You place your orders on a tablet. Server comes by to confirm your order and serves you food as they are ready. Based on the four items we ordered my husband and I really enjoyed the wagyu burger. Perfectly cooked and seasoned well. The curry wagyu steak rice plate was fairly a tie. The butter that sits on the wagyu and rice gives it so much flavor in your mouth. Tonkatsu is just average. Blue Crab handroll was okay; the rice and seaweed were too bland. Overall, I would just come back for the wagyu burger. read more

Salmon bowl with furikake in the middle which gave it a nice surprise. Really made the dish stand out Wagyu steak bowl was good! The best item there was the gyu-don bowl! but unfortunately, we didn't get to take a picture of it We ordered the Wagyu burger afterwards, but it came tasting burnt. I would not recommend this item. Servers there were kind, but you can tell they are still learning the procedure. Only 1 guy there knew what was going on. You order through an iPad and they come to confirm the order. Overall, it was a pretty good experience and I would come back, but just not for the burger. read more

Chubby Curry is located in the heart of Downtown Covina right on citrus ave. With parking, there was a spot I was able to turn right into as I arrived. However, there are also public parking on the side streets available. Despite going right around dinner time, my friends and I were able to grab a table right away. The staff was quick to get us sited, explained the menu, and brought out waters. They delivered our orders quickly and check in frequently. For ordering, they had a small tablet at the table for us to utilize. Our table ordered some waffle fries to share. This came with a curry sauce. The fries were crispy and the sauce wasn't overwhelming, so this was perfect. For myself, I ordered the katsu kare at spicy level. The curry and katsu had great texture. But it wasn't as spicy as I wanted it, so I added a bit of chilis that they had on the side of the table. Overall, we enjoyed our meals and would come back! They do accept American Express. read more

We love our curry! This place has been on my radar for a while so we finally were able to try it. The place is small.. about 5 tables and a bar. We were a party of 5 and a baby so definitely tight space. Their ordering is through a tablet which is great. They have plenty of options but not too overwhelming. My family and I made sure we tried different things. But we ended up sticking to Wagyu/curry dishes. We had Wagyu curry, takoyaki, fried rice and the burger. From what I know about this place they are known for their Wagyu burger. It's a curry place though, says so in their name! So we made sure we got curry. The verdict... curry was ok. Nothing special. We all know we won't go back for the curry. The fried rice and the burger though.... WOW!!!! Definitely a must try! We all wished we ordered the burger! Juicy... the flavor... omg! So good! And I didn't even add cheese! Damn I regret not ordering it! The fried rice was also very good! With a touch of chili oil.... Mmmmmm.... It's def not a curry place for me. The takoyaki was just ok too. Nothing special. I did see some people order nigiri and rolls.... But I felt weird trying that at a curry place so maybe I should try it next time we get some burgers! Def try their burger!!! Delicious! Oh! Food came out fast too! So that's another plus! read more

Hi Samantha, Thank you for sharing such a detailed review of your…
This is my first time trying out Chubby Curry, and I've finally had the opportunity to try their Dine LA 2025 menu. It's located in downtown Covina, and my friend suggested and invited me to try their Dine LA menu, so we got there at 8:30 p.m. last night. (They closed at 9:30 p.m. on Sunday). It was a bit difficult to find parking in downtown Covina, but luckily, we both saw a parking space close to the restaurant. We did not need to wait and were seated immediately. The place was quiet and comfortable inside. We saw the $35 Entree for the Chubby Curry x Dine LA menu on the table. It's from July 25 to August 8, Sunday through Thursday, from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., and Friday to Saturday from 5 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. You can choose one entree between Tofu Curry Wagyu Steak Rice Place, or Chirashi Jr. My friend and I both picked the Wagyu Steak Rice place. However, we were told that they sold out of the ground wagyu beef. The server told us that they would give us the whole piece of wagyu beef instead, but without minced tofu and the maitake mushroom. We gladly accepted this arrangement because we liked the whole piece more than the ground wagyu beef anyway. This menu also came with Chicken Karaage; however, they were also sold out, so they had to replace something else with the wagyu beef dumpling. We had the Japanese-style wagyu beef curry combined with slow-cooked Masami Ranch Tri Tip Wagyu Steak. The Tri Tip Wagyu Steak was delicious, and they were in medium, flavorful, and tender. The wagyu beef curry was also flavorful. The slow-cooked egg had runny egg yolks and was delicious. The wagyu beef dumplings were okay. We both couldn't taste the differences between the regular beef and the wagyu beef flavor. As for dessert, we wanted to order Yuzu mochi. However, they were sold out as well. The strawberry mochi also tasted great, but we were tempted to try the Yuzu one. Three items were out for our dinner, so I had to minus one star. We paid $45 per person, including tips, and overall it was a satisfying dinner. read more

Hi Yan! Thank you for visiting us during Dine LA and for sharing your…
We dined here at Chubby Curry after a few months and I would like say they are still operating to the great standard as our other visits in the past. The location still has a steady flow of customers and it's seems they have added a few more options on their menu. This recent visit was another great one. Staff here is always hospitable and friendly and the decor is filled with cool figurines around the restaurant. We sat upstairs which is always nice. It's a bit roomier and they have larger tables for groups. This visit we tried some other items. My wife likes the handrolls so those are always solid options. This time we also tried the Toro Sashimi and the Wagyu Burger. Toro Sashimi very fresh and high quality. The Wagyu burger for me was outstanding. It's $18 and $3 extra for cheese, which i think you can go without. Also a house salad is $3 to add on with the burger. The taste and the cook of the burger made it a memorable experience. I added chili oil seasoning to some bites and it elevated the taste even more! Great food overall once again. Chubby Curry is still 5/5 for us. We're lucky it's close to us to come by any time! read more

Small establishment took about 10 minutes to get seated on a Sunday afternoon. The service was good. Don't think this is a spot I'd return to though. read more

The worst curry I've ever had in my life. I'm not a great cook but even the curry I make at home tastes so much better. I came in Chubby Curry with high expectations due to the Chubby Cattle brand... but the Wagyu curry was just not great. The rice and broccoli florets were so dry. Wagyu was probably not Wagyu as the quality was significantly lacking. Curry sauce was salty without any depth of flavors. This was not worth $23. read more

Honestly very disappointed with this meal. The meat was not tender at all -- especially the so-called wagyu, which was chewy and lacked the rich flavor you'd expect. It definitely didn't feel like real quality wagyu. For the price, this is not acceptable. The portion and taste simply don't match what they're charging. There are way better places offering higher quality at the same or even lower price. Would not recommend and won't be coming back. read more

Came here on a Monday afternoon for a birthday lunch with my mom. Found this place while looking through yelp, and I liked that it served a variety of food. Service was friendly and quick when we got in here ambience was clean and very cozy. We ordered the Wagyu curry and chirashi bowl. The curry was very hearty and delicious though the garlic chips on the wagyu were very hard. The fish on the chirashi bowl was very fresh and very generous. I love that it came with fresh wasabi. However, the rice was more on the dry side, I think it's the same rice they use in their curry bowls. Overall, had a great lunch here and would recommend for a quick bite. read more
The food was delicious. The curry was so good with the wagyu. The steak just fell apart and paired well the with rice and the charred broccoli. The takoyaki was delicious and the salmon sashimi was so good. The oyakodon was ok but the tonkotsu was very good. The shishito peppers were also all right. You order everything on an iPad and it gets sent to the kitchen. Then your meal comes out and you pay afterward. I found that to be user-friendly and simple to use. They also have high chairs for children. The ambiance was nice and casual. read more

Came here for lunch to celebrate a friend's birthday, and overall had a nice experience. The service was friendly and efficient and our food came out pretty quickly, which was great. We ordered a variety of dishes: curry, a burger, beef bowl, some appetizers, and a small chirashi bowl. Everything was decent, nothing really stood out as amazing, but it all tasted fine. It feels like one of those places that might have a few hidden gems on the menu, so we're open to coming back to try other dishes and see if something really wows us next time. read more

Yet another highly satisfying meal at another one of the many Chubby Group establishments! At this point, my boyfriend and I have eaten at several of their restaurants, and have found our experiences to be pretty consistent in quality across the board, and Chubby Curry was no exception. We came on a Saturday for an early lunch and were seated at a booth right away. Each booth has a tablet on which you can view and order from the digital menu. One minor suggestion I might make to staff is to wipe down the tablets in between parties -- we noticed that it was somewhat greasy when we used it. The restaurant seems to be somewhat smaller than its other locations (the expansiveness of Chubby Cattle immediately comes to mind), but this smaller size seems somewhat advantageous in a way; it seems to lend a quiet, diner-like quality to Chubby Curry that's refreshing compared to the in-your-face glitz and glamor of an establishment like Chubby Cattle Although we didn't order any curry this time around (which seems blasphemous due to curry being the dish for which the restaurant is named), we resolved to order it next time, as the spicy sweetness of the curry aroma permeated the restaurant and was very enticing. We ended up ordering the wagyu steak rice bowl and the chirashi chubby bowl, both of which were picture perfect and highly satisfying. It was apparent that the ingredients were high quality and that they were prepared with care and attention to detail. And the prices definitely aren't bad for the amazing quality -- I've had much worse at a far higher price point. We would definitely encourage giving Chubby Curry a try if you're in the area! read more
They have street parking available. It wasn't packed for me 'cause I went on a Thursday afternoon (I'm not sure if it's harder to find parking during weekends). Once you get seated, scan the QR code on the table to order. I ordered the Tonkatsu Kare and it was really good! The tonkatsu was very crispy and the sauce was delicious. I wish they had given more sauce, but everything was very delish and filling. You can add an egg and other extra items for extra cost. Overall, great food and decently priced. Recommendation(s): - Tonkatsu Kare Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Street parking - Scan QR code to order - One gender neutral restroom read more

Compared to its flashy Chubby Group counterparts, Chubby Curry sits quite unassumingly on a street in Downtown Covina. The inside, however, is very cool. The restaurant makes impressive use of its narrow space. The ground floor is reminiscent of a diner, featuring counter seating and a row of booths. The upper floor has more tables and a bar. Various anime figures line the shelves and kitschy games lie scattered throughout the countertops. Despite the name "Chubby Curry," the menu is quite expansive. Rice bowls, handrolls, burgers, sashimi, and various katsu dishes are also available. The curry is seasoned well, but what really stands out to me is the Wagyu, featured in both the Wagyu Curry and the Wagyu Steak Rice Bowl. The sliced beef steals the show - the texture is amazing. Personally, I like the Wagyu Steak Rice Bowl more than I like the Wagyu Curry. I was so impressed on my first visit, that I visited two more times within the span of a couple weeks to try other things on the menu. The katsu is very good. It's perfectly crispy, yet moist and juicy. It's also hefty - a very generous portion. I added pork katsu to my Oyakodon, and it ended up being enough food for like two people - which is great! With the katsu, the Oyakodon is $22-$23, depending on what protein you get. Considering how much food you get, I think this price is reasonable. Without the katsu, the Oyakodon is only $14, and is delicious on its own. I also liked the Aonori Waffle Fries. In hindsight, I should've seen it coming, but in the moment, I was really surprised that they came with a curry dipping sauce. I wished that I had gotten them with the Wagyu Burger. The Wagyu Burger was ok, but I've had better. I wouldn't say it was dry, but it wasn't as moist and tender as I was expecting. Maybe a tad overcooked? And without that juiciness, the burger fell a little flat. I wished that I had the fries so I could pair the curry sauce with the burger to make it a little more interesting. I also thought the burger was a bit small. I was still a little peckish after eating it - yet another argument for the fries. The fries should honestly just come with the burger. I thought that the sushi was mediocre at best. The blue crab handroll was just ok - I've had better for less money. The toro sashimi was fine - not fishy, but not necessarily super fresh. I wouldn't get sushi again at Chubby Curry, but its inclusion on the menu didn't make much sense to me in the first place. And of course, I had to try the bar. I liked my cocktail. I got the Heiwa Tsuru-ume Kanjuki Nigori - an umeboshi and peach cocktail. I was expecting it to be salty and sour, but it was surprisingly refreshing and sweet. As far as service, there was one incident where my group ordered chicken and pork katsu. The server brought out our food and was like "uhh I forgot which was pork and which was chicken, sorry." I felt this situation could have been handled better because that kind of negligence could be serious if we had dietary restrictions. It was also annoying for us because we had to figure out which was which on our own. I don't know what the server/food runner's name was, but he had medium-long shaggy hair. Another time, I had really good service. I requested to sit upstairs and the servers complied with my request even though they really didn't have to. I did not feel like my service quality was compromised by sitting upstairs. The servers were still attentive and very nice. Overall, I really liked Chubby Curry. Prices are a bit high, but portions are proportional and the food quality is high for the most part. Service is also generally good. read more

Stopped in for a late weekday lunch after 1pm and was pleasantly surprised by how quiet and relaxed it was--a perfect escape from the usual rush. I was also happy to be able to redeem some membership awards, which made the visit even better. The ingredients are impressively fresh, especially in their sushi selection. But the true star of the show is undoubtedly their curry sauce. It has a sweet, aromatic fragrance and a perfectly balanced thickness that's delicious even with rice alone. I tried it with their signature tonkatsu pork chop, which was crispy, juicy, and absolutely delicious. This was a satisfying, well-executed meal from start to finish. read more

Went to Chubby Curry on a Sunday evening and had a great experience. The space has an awesome Japanese vibe with all the wood accents, plus the plastic food displays that really add to the atmosphere. The dining room is definitely smaller than the other Chubby concepts, but I actually liked that. It felt cozy and comfortable rather than crowded. Service was excellent. Ordering on the iPad was easy and smooth, and the staff was attentive without hovering. I ordered the Wagyu curry, and it was exactly the kind of comfort food I was craving. The Wagyu slices were rich and flavorful, and the stewed beef in the curry was so tender. The curry sauce was great. It was thick, smooth, and savory. Slightly sweet, very comforting, and packed with umami without being heavy or greasy. Others in my group got the chicken katsu curry, and it looked fantastic. The katsu was super crispy on the outside while staying moist and tender inside. The chicken was well seasoned all the way through, not just in the breading, which made a big difference. Someone else ordered the gyudon, and it had crispy onion bits mixed in. I've never seen that in gyudon before, but the added crunch worked really well and made each bite even more satisfying. So good, can't wait to get it again. read more

Loved our dining experience at Chubby Curry! Tyler gave a superb service, he was friendly and welcoming. Thanks for the recommendation on the house made hot sauce, we are spicy lovers and that sauce was spicy and tasty at the same time. We ordered the medium chicken curry and the chicken was not dry. The curry was delicious, the veggies cooked well. As for the wagyu beef bowl, wow, that was a terrific dish. The beef was flavorful and tender and juicy at the same time. The egg on top was perfect. Overall highly recommend Chubby Curry! read more

We decided to eat a Chubby Curry after our session at Color Me Mine. It was a Thursday night during dinner time and were seated immediately. We ordered through a tablet the Wagyu Curry, Chicken Katsu curry, Wagyu steak rice bowl and a fresh lemon prune fizz fiesta drink. Also, since I am a member, we got a free round of miso soup for the entire table. For the wagyu curry, the beef was tender and it had a good curry flavor. We got medium so it was a little too spicy for some of us in our group. The chicken katsu curry was ok too. The chicken breast meat actually wasn't dry so that's a plus. The Wagyu steak rice bowl was a downer though. The wagyu beef didn't come out medium rare (barely any pink). It was overcooked or maybe it was sitting there for a long time and they reheated it? Not sure what happened there so we didn't enjoy it as much. The drink menu looked interesting too so I decided on the fresh Lemon prune fizz fiesta. It basically tasted like sprite with lemon. I didn't really like it and definitely not worth the price. Overall, the meal was a bit underwhelming for the price we were paying. The meats didn't melt in my mouth for being wagyu. Service was good. They came to confirmed our order and helped me check my membership and checked in on us. It's located in Downtown Covina so there is street parking and some public parking lots around. The interior was decorated very Japanese style and even had food displays in the window. The place is small though with a few booths and counter space. I did see people going upstairs so maybe they have more sitting area upstairs? That's very Japanese like as well. read more

Hi Rosanna, thank you so much for taking the time to share your…
Nice vibe, have upstairs seating too. Server was very kind. Tablets are used to order. Meat portion was underwhelming for what you pay for, curry was ok Fries had an interesting curry infused sauce that I think is good to try for sure. I think a good solid normal sauce is better but still decent. Value proposition was disappointing given the brand name unfortunately you could say expectations were higher or maybe it was on point - in the sense that they may not give great portions. $23 and look at the meat! Better to get the non wagyu option for the curry at least. read more
We stopped by for lunch on a Monday to give this place a try. The staff were friendly and the ordering was done thru a tablet. They had several options of curry with rice and unique hand roll menu. We got the wagyu curry and the pork cutlet curry. The curry was very smooth but a little light on the flavor. The wagyu meat was soft and tender. The pork cutlet was thick and crispy. Overall the food was good and excellent for those who do not like overly salty foods. Street parking was easy for us but not sure how it is on a crowded weekend. Thank you! read more

I enjoyed the location this chubby curry is in. It's in a cute downtown vibes area and parking was super easy when I came for dinner on a weekday evening. Best of all, the parking was free. There was no wait when I came and was able to get seated right away. I ordered the curry katsu with medium spiced curry. I thought the dish was delicious but I wish there was a mild option. Usually Japanese curry is not as spicy so I was not expecting such a kick in the medium level, but it was quite spicy! read more

I thought the curry here was okay. I love Japanese curry but I wasn't too impressed. The chirashi bowl was good and had fresh fish! The katsu wasn't as tasty. Make sure you bring your ID if you're a first responder for 15% off! Service was good. Plenty of parking in downtown Covina! read more
