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.

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 :)

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.

Chubby Curry is a solid 3/5. If you're coming to a Chubby franchise, you'll have to get some kind of meat to go with your curry. All orders are placed on the tablet. My group ordered the Curry Wagyu Steak Ribeye Rice Plate and the Wagyu Burger to share. This place is definitely boogie. Charging $3 to add cheese to a burger is wild. Service was really good. They gave my friend an ice cream mochi for her birthday. The Wagyu Burger was good but I'd be fine eating at In-n-Out as well. The only thing that saved the curry was the soft steak ribeye. The beef in the curry tasted like meat from a stew. I'm not a huge fan of beef stew, so it made the curry taste mediocre. The Yuzu Oolong isn't a must get. Water is the way to go. Parking is free in the back lot. There's also plenty of street parking.

I've been meaning to review this place for a while now but keep forgetting to. Take that into consideration as things may have changed since I last went (a year ago). I had high expectations for this restaurant as Chubby group made itself a high standard brand for quality food. They don't use short grain sushi rice for their sushi hand rolls, which to me was odd. The salmon itself was fresh, so no complaints there. The eel was also good. Radish for curry being $3 is insane. I can understand $1 maybe, but $3 is robbery. Most curry places I've been to offer this free of charge as most people only take a spoonful of it to complement their curry. Waffle fries were fine, not super crispy, but not soggy. Curry flavor was there. Chicken cutlet curry - this was probably the worst curry I've ever had in my life. It tasted like spicy squash soup with little to no curry flavor..... I knew I had messed up ordering this when I saw the other tables and noticed everyone who ordered this almost all left it behind barely uneaten. To make matters worse, I asked a waitress at the time if this flavor was how it was intended or if somehow I could get more curry flavor in the curry. They offered me soy sauce to put in the curry..... SOY SAUCE?! I think it's insane that the fries had more of a curry taste than this actually 'curry' dish. I would've given this place 0 stars if this was all I had. Absolutely frustrated we spent so much money on this dish to be so grossly disappointed. At least the cutlet was fine. Thankfully the Wagyu curry was solid. This was a standard curry dish and actually tasted like curry. The meat was good, this dish I would have ordered again. Unfortunately because of the chicken curry, I don't think I would ever return again. It was misleading for anyone expecting curry and getting whatever that weird flavor combo was. All in all I'm giving them 2 stars because the Wagyu curry was decent and the fish from the rolls were fresh, but I overall wouldn't recommend from my experience.

When we first knew that we have a resto within the chubby group near our home, we were so excited! We stop by on a Thursday night at around 8:15-8:20, seated after few minutes. But we waited for soooo long for our foods. We noticed, there's only one attendant and the cook on that busy night. Saw few people outside waiting for their to-go orders. Many times the server will apologize and even mentioned that they ran out of rice. Great thing that the foods served were so delicious as always within the Chubby standards. The server was nice. We told her that we appreciate her trying to do her best that night. We just wish, she had someone to help her. For sure, we saw some customers visibly upset of the waiting. Nevertheless, we will come back.

Fun Japanese curry shop located in old town Covina. Wagyu and tonkatsu curries plus a wagyu burger and some sushi rolls. Watch your curry being made in the little display kitchen that reminds me of a small curry shop in Japan, part of the chubby cattle restaurant group. Plenty of parking in the backs. Also ice cold beer!

I've been to the Chubby Curry in Beverly Hills and I absolutely loved it. The stone pot hamburg curry on rice was amazing, the beef was super juicy, and the curry was amazing. I saw that Chubby Curry had opened a second branch in Covina, and I knew I eventually had to try it. I finally had to chance to visit with family one weekend. We came here for lunch right when the restaurant opened and thus we were seated fairly quickly. The staff are super nice and answered all our questions. The restaurant is small but cozy. We ended up sharing a wagyu beef burger, a vegetarian curry, and then their winter special which was an oden udon. I loved that the broth on the oden udon was very light and did not have too heavy an MSG taste. The daikon was amazing, and the noodle texture was perfect. I asked that the burger be cooked to a medium level. It came out basically a perfect medium, and the onions and curry were a wonderful accent. The beef was still very juicy and the brioche bun was soft. The veggie curry was amazing also. We loved the grilled broccoli and grilled mushrooms. This Chubby Curry is just as amazing as the one in Beverly Hills. The restaurant was a bit pricey but I would definitely come back.

In great anticipation of this restaurants opening in covina I had come in and was exited to see what they would serve. Sadly to say of all the curry joints I have been to this is in the bottom tier. Food: while served hot the portions are very small and flavor lacking, I seemed to be wanting more of something every bite, however the food here was not it. I will say it plainly that the food here is not worth your hard earned money. Service: while they were great themselves in getting us seated they did not seem happy about anything besides trying to create a facade of service. On a side note I arrived with a friend and we both ordered at the same time. By the time their order arrived mine had gotten from piping hot to cold. If you are really expecting a good curry house go to coco's as the menu and service definitely make you want to go on multiple visits. If not make your own curry at home for a fraction of the price. read more

Came to Downtown Covina to check out Chubby Cattle. The shop front already gave me Japan vibes with its display of food models showing you way to expect to be served so there's little left to guessing what you're in for. Entering the restaurant was also very pleasant, reminiscent of Japan: clean. The interior decoration was modern with anime figurines decorating some of the shelves and had a relaxed vibe with Japanese pop music playing in the background. Ordering was easy enough, using a tablet at the table you are seated at was simple and also provided pictures of the food items to make choosing less difficult. The curry was good enough, which is ironic since "curry" is in the name of the place, but the handrolls and Buffalo chicken sandwich were amazing! The handrolls tasted fresh with warm rice and crisp seaweed, and the fish tasted fresh as well, similar to some quality sushi restaurants. The chicken sandwich came with a large, crispy piece of fried chicken that maintained it's crunch with every bite. The service was a little lacking, and you could tell how new some of the servers were based on how uncertain they were with their responses related to requests that were made, but it was only a slight hiccup considering how good everything else was. Definitely worth checking out. read more

The curry itself is a pretty basic curry. Not the worst but definitely not the best. Adding the "Wagyu" doesn't really add anything to the curry. Ordered a side of tonkatsu and was a really weird piece of pork. The fried coating didn't stick and it was very chewy. Also cut like super weird. Good curry is hard to find in so cal, and I wouldn't come out of the way for this. read more

The parking is a slight pain but when you come in you are greeted with warm smiles. My partner and I ordered the pork katsu curry and their wagyu curry. The pork katsu wasn't well tenderized so it was a big chunk of meat that you would have to chew through it. The wagyu curry also had the same problem as well. Although this is part of the Chubby chain, I think it might be better off just going to a hole in the wall Japanese chain or Coco. They just have to work out the kinks in the consistency and seasoning the curry. read more

I really like chubby cattle and chubby skewer so I thought I'd like this one.Like many of the other reviews, average food for premium price. The burger patty tasted like a thicker in n out patty with sauce that was way too salty and oily. The curry was pretty basic, the meat on top of the rice was mid but the meat in the curry itself was tender but not worth the price point. The host was nice and professional but seemed overwhelmed. Asked for water as he was the only employee upstairs and he said the waiter would get it. When water arrived there was floaters. Waiter was scarce. Came to us when half our food was out and asked if that was it, informed him it was not as only half of us had entrees. read more

The katsu has the perfect amount of breading and the chicken is surprisingly very moist. I really enjoyed their curry which, unlike other places, didn't taste like the standard boxed curry. For under $20, I had a really tasty snd enjoyable meal. I will definitely come back to try other things on their menu. Highly recommend - great food at even better prices.

Midoh's menu selection is geared to a more modern take on Japanese street food. The one thing that sold us to try this location is the pet-friendly outside dining.

Also, the attentive service given by Joana all the more gave it a pleasant experience. All the fried foods we ordered were exceptionally crispy, not greasy, & yet kept the inside moist & tender. The white fish meuniere had a wonderful eggy sauce not a common combination found in other Japanese restaurants.

The curry chicken is very good for its value. $16 for generous amount of chicken and its thick and juicy. The curry was good flavor on the sweeter side and had a good amount of spice (my level of choice was 2). The double matcha was also very good, they use Marukyu Koyamaen Rindou and the matcha flavor was strong enough to my liking. The cream top was thicker than other places I've tried in the area and had good matcha flavor. For the double matcha I went with Pure Matcha which is matcha with water + matcha cream top. The ambiance inside is like a tea shop, cozy, lots of tables without feeling like a restaurant but rather like a place to study. They had calm music playing when I was here. The Air Conditioner was also on and it was very comfortable to sit inside. I'd definitely come back. I think it's good value, the workers are very nice and it's good to support family owned.

Can't wait to try some of the other items on their menu!

Kyuramen x TBaar brings together a Japanese-inspired ramen restaurant and bubble tea café under one…read moreroof, offering a menu that extends well beyond ramen. We walked into a space that stands out for its modern interior, featuring private wooden booth seating that creates a cozy, semi-private dining experience, the kind of setup that makes the meal feel more intimate than a typical ramen shop. The atmosphere feels contemporary and social, with a clean, thoughtfully designed layout that works well for both casual dinners and group outings, and the attached TBaar makes it easy to finish the meal with a specialty tea or dessert without leaving the restaurant. While ramen is the restaurant's signature, many of the menu's standout dishes are actually found elsewhere. The omurice is one of the most popular items, served with a fluffy egg and rich demi-glace or curry sauce that makes it one of the restaurant's signature comfort dishes, and the presentation, with the egg split open at the table, adds a theatrical element to the meal. Other highlights include yakitori, bao buns, katsu, takoyaki, and appetizers that give the menu plenty of variety. The ramen itself is solid, with options ranging from traditional tonkotsu to the Yin Yang Ramen that lets you sample both spicy and non-spicy broths in one bowl, though the quality of the ramen can feel less memorable than some of the restaurant's other specialties, the broth lacking the depth and complexity that defines a dedicated ramen shop. The attached TBaar also adds another layer to the experience with milk teas, fruit teas, and desserts that pair well with the meal. Matcha tiramisu, Japanese cherry blossom jelly, and other sweets help round out the menu, making it easy to stay for dessert instead of stopping somewhere else afterward, and the drinks are well prepared, with the tea flavors coming through clearly without being overly sweet. The restaurant's design is one of its biggest strengths. The wooden booths provide a semi-private dining experience, and the overall space feels clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed, creating an environment that encourages lingering over a meal rather than rushing through it. Service is generally friendly and welcoming, though it can slow down during busier periods as the restaurant fills up, with the team handling the steady flow but sometimes taking longer to check in when the dining room is at capacity. The overall experience remains positive, and the pace of the meal stays comfortable even when the service stretches. Kyuramen x TBaar offers more than just ramen. The inviting atmosphere, diverse menu, and combination of savory dishes, drinks, and desserts make it a well-rounded dining destination. While the ramen may not be the strongest reason to visit compared to some dedicated ramen shops, the omurice, appetizers, desserts, and unique dining experience make it a place worth trying, especially if you are looking for variety rather than focusing on a single dish. The balance of creativity, comfort, and a polished setting makes it a versatile option for a meal that feels more like an experience than a quick stop.

I will start by saying that I am very particular about Italian food. First, the location is perfect, slightly tucked away with ample parking, a cute and inviting atmosphere, and staff who are genuinely kind and welcoming. When giving recommendations, they speak from a place of knowledge and passion for the food, which is always appreciated. We started with the focaccia and house-made butter. Oh my goodness an absolute must. The focaccia was airy and delicious, and the butter was out of this world. I could honestly eat that by itself. I also loved the pickled sweet peppers that accompanied it. The broccolini was cooked to perfection, served in a generous portion, and was somehow a vegetable that even my six-year-old happily ate. Speaking of my six-year-old, he ordered the kids' red spaghetti, which was honestly one of the best children's spaghetti dishes I have ever tasted. It was flavorful, clearly made with quality ingredients, and far exceeded expectations for a kids' meal. My husband and I shared the torchietti with pork ragù. The pasta was perfectly cooked, with a delicious, well-balanced flavor and generous pieces of pork throughout. The house-made ricotta added a rich creaminess that complemented the dish beautifully. We also had the rigatoni pesto with pistachios and burrata. The crunch from the pistachios paired wonderfully with the creaminess of the burrata, while the basil pesto tied everything together. Another delicious dish. My husband ordered a peach cocktail, which he described as perfectly balanced. To finish the evening, we shared a scoop of their house-made vanilla ice cream and a large slice of chocolate cake. The ice cream was velvety, not overly sweet, and paired perfectly with the cake. The dark chocolate provided great balance without being too rich, and although the cake appeared dense at first glance, it still had a surprising lightness to it. Overall, I cannot recommend this place enough. It is a true neighborhood gem, and I am excited to have it so close to home.

I recently visited The Chubby Curry, which opened in the former location of Bishamon--a Japanese restaurant I absolutely loved and deeply miss. I came here with a group for a colleague's birthday, and while there were some positives, my overall experience was underwhelming. First, the good: the staff was incredibly accommodating and gave us a private room upstairs for our celebration, which was a nice touch. The ambiance was pleasant, and everything looked clean and well-maintained. Our server was very kind and attentive, going out of their way to try and improve our experience. Now, the not-so-good: the food just wasn't for me. I ordered the Katsu Curry, which was around $25, and added sides like broccoli, mushrooms, fries, dumplings, and more. While the presentation was nice, nothing really stood out flavor-wise. For the price, I was expecting a lot more in terms of quality and taste. I also requested the hottest spice level for my curry, but it was disappointingly mild. To their credit, the server brought me a sauce from the back that added some much-needed heat, but even with that, the dish didn't live up to my expectations. While I think curry lovers might still enjoy this place, I found it overpriced and the food mediocre overall. Sadly, I don't think I'll be visiting again, but I'd still encourage others to give it a try and decide for themselves. read more

I went here to celebrate my birthday and they said it would take 15 minutes. We ended up waiting 30 minutes. There was a table already set to be clean but they didn't clean until we came in. I had to give stare to one of the waiter that was waiting us. When getting the dishes, everything was out of order and my step dad didn't have his meal out way after the fact of both me and my mom were done eating. He only had a salad that we ordered. I didn't have my beverage way later and was already almost done with my meal. The guy waiter kept looking at our table and never checked on us after we said something. Although there were tables with customers, it was not packed. I also saw a couple that were waiting. I don't want to assume the worst but I also believe that because of the color of skin, my family wasn't waited because of this. I hope this was only an assumption and I am incorrect. We were offered cake and received 10% off. I still am unpleased with this service and hope they can take action on diversity and inclusion and provide the best quality service to all people. Going to this restaurant and freshly moved to this area left a bad impression of this place and want to push people to come in here for great food but if there a broken agenda then I cannot recommend. read more

A Fantastic New Curry Spot by Chubby Group in Covina! Chubby Group has done it again, adding another standout spot to their lineup of restaurants. We had the pleasure of attending the soft opening tonight, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. Though the restaurant is cozy, there's actually additional seating on the second floor, which is a nice surprise. They also offer a sushi bar area where you can watch the chef in action, adding a unique experience for sushi fans. We tried several popular dishes, and each one impressed us. The Wagyu Steak Rice Bowl was a personal favorite, packed with rich flavors and perfectly cooked meat. A close second was their curry udon - incredibly comforting and flavorful. And the Chicken Katsu Kare was a pleasant surprise - the thick chicken breast was impressively juicy and tender, something that's often hard to achieve with katsu. We're excited to return and explore more of the menu soon. A big thank you to the friendly staff, who went out of their way to answer our questions and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Highly recommended! read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Chubby Curry, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcome with their warm smiles and attentive service. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. We started with the samosas, which were perfectly crispy on the outside and packed with flavorful filling. For our main dishes, we tried the chicken tikka masala and lamb vindaloo. Both were rich, aromatic, and had just the right balance of spices. The garlic naan was the perfect accompaniment, soft and buttery with just the right amount of char. What really stood out was the attention to detail. They asked about our spice preferences and made sure everything was tailored to our taste. The portions were generous, and everything was served hot and fresh. The ambiance was cozy yet vibrant, with a hint of traditional decor that added to the authenticity of the experience. It's clear they take pride in both their food and their hospitality. Rating: 5/5 Feel free to adjust it to suit your specific experience! read more

This highly anticipated downtown Covina spot didn't disappoint! The minimalist, clean decor and warm lighting create a welcoming atmosphere. Though the ground floor can seem small and busy, the upstairs seating area offers a pleasant surprise. The attentive staff guided us through the tablet ordering process, ensuring a smooth dining experience. We started with the miso soup, which was hearty with plenty of tofu and seaweed. The refreshing radish and cucumber salad provided a light, palate-cleansing counterpoint. The wagyu dumplings were a standout, bursting with flavor and tender meat. The tuna hand roll was equally impressive, with its fresh, clean taste. For the main course, the medium-spicy wagyu curry was a delightful indulgence, featuring incredibly tender meat. The crispy, juicy chicken katsu was a perfect complement. The variety of small plates allowed us to sample multiple dishes, making it an ideal spot for sharing and trying new flavors.

Just hit up this gem of a Japanese curry spot - absolutely blown away! Started with some crazy fresh sashimi with this gorgeous plating. Then came this tempura handroll that was straight-up ridiculous - nori and tempura crisp as can be. But yo, the star of the show? That katsu curry! The cutlet was perfection - golden brown, crispy exterior giving way to the juiciest pork inside. The curry sauce was hitting all the right notes - rich, slightly sweet, with that perfect Japanese curry comfort. Paired it with some waffle fries seasoned with herbs that were absolutely addictive. The attention to detail here is next level - from the wooden handroll stands to those stylish plates with yellow edges. Real talk, this place is becoming my new go-to spot.

From the moment I stepped in, the ambiance was cozy, and the staff were friendly and attentive, setting the perfect tone for a memorable meal. The wagyu curry was exceptional - the rich, tender wagyu melted in my mouth, and the flavors were perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. The curry sauce was velvety, packed with depth, and complemented the meat beautifully. It's clear that Chubby Curry uses high-quality ingredients, and the result is a dish that feels both comforting and luxurious. If you're a curry lover or just looking for a unique dining experience, Chubby Curry's wagyu curry is a must-try. I can't wait to come back and explore more of their menu! read more

Chubby Curry is an absolute gem! Hands down, the best food in town - every dish is packed with bold, authentic flavors that hit the spot perfectly. Their curry is rich and satisfying, the kind of meal that keeps you coming back for more. And let's talk about the pink lemonade - it's not just a drink, it's a highlight! Refreshingly tangy, perfectly sweet, and served with a flair that makes it impossible to resist. Esther is the best server! But what really sets this place apart is the vibe. They've got games like Uno to keep the fun rolling, making it the perfect hangout spot for friends, family, or even a casual date. Delicious food, amazing drinks, and a playful atmosphere - what more could you ask for? Chubby Curry isn't just a restaurant; it's an experience! read more

Just had a meal at Chubby Curry in Covina, and I've got to say--it really lived up to the hype. The atmosphere is trendy yet cozy, with a cool open kitchen setup that gives it a bit of a modern Japanese vibe. I ordered the Wagyu Curry , and it was packed with flavor. The curry was rich, perfectly spiced, and the meat was super tender. Portions were generous too, which is always a plus when you're hungry. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food came out surprisingly fast for how fresh it tasted. I also liked that they had a second floor and sushi bar--it gives the place a little more character. Overall, if you're craving Japanese curry done right, Chubby Curry is definitely worth checking out. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu! read more

I just put this restaurant on my list yesterday and we decided to go today and we are so glad we did. The staff is super friendly and attentive. After seating us they showed us how to order from a tablet. The food is described along with a picture. You pick your items and send it to the kitchen and the food comes out a lot faster than most restaurants. I had Chubby Curry wagyu beef plate with tri-tip. The slow-cooked mild curry beef just melted in your mouth so tender and came with rice and a soft egg. My wife and I shared a house salad, slaw with tomatoes, radish and cucumber. My wife had the Wagyu steak rice plate. Same slow cooked beef so tender with her choosing spicier curry. This meal was such a delight, all 5's start to finish. read more

We had quite the spread at Chubby Curry: cucumber radish, miso soup, gyu-don, unicorn roll, chicken katsu (as a side), wakame seaweed salad, and Japanese rice. Every single dish was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, checking in on us just the right amount. But here's the kicker, you know a place takes its food seriously when even the basic glass of water is crisp, clean, and honestly tastes expensive. It might sound odd, but when a restaurant puts that level of care into something as simple as water, you can bet every other detail is just as refined. Chubby Curry isn't just tasty, it's intentional. Your in for a treat for anyone who loves flavor and quality. read more

I recently visited hereand I have to say, this place is a hidden gem for anyone who loves a good bowl of curry! From the moment I walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff made me feel right at home. The curry rice I had was absolutely delicious! I went for the wagyu beef curry with extra spice, and it did not disappoint. The sauce was rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of heat. The beef was tender and juicy, and the rice was perfectly cooked - soft and fluffy, soaking up all the wonderful curry flavor. Highly recommend this spot if you're craving a comforting, flavorful bowl of curry rice. Will definitely be back for more! read more

I had a great experience today around lunchtime! The food was delicious, with rich flavors and perfectly cooked ingredients. The curry was definitely the star of the show -- just the right amount of spice and warmth. What made it even better was the service.

Absolutely fantastic experience! We ordered the tonkatsu curry, Wagyu steak rice bowl, and sashimi bowl -- every single dish was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The tonkatsu was perfectly crispy with a rich, savory curry sauce, the Wagyu steak was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the sashimi was top quality. The restaurant itself is clean, stylish, and has a welcoming atmosphere. Service was friendly and efficient too. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone who loves delicious Japanese food! read more

Had an incredible experience at Chubby Curry, and a big part of that was thanks to Jason! From the moment we walked in, he was warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food. He made great recommendations, checked in just the right amount, and made us feel totally taken care of without being overbearing. The vibe at Chubby Curry is already fun and inviting, but Jason took it to the next level. Can't wait to come back -- ask for Jason if you want top-tier service read more

Chubby Curry is absolutely fantastic! The Wagyu Curry was delicious, and the Chicken Katsu Kare was perfectly crispy and flavorful. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and packed with authentic flavors. The highlight of the night was the cocktail, Heiwa Tsuru Ume Nigori. It was refreshing, well-balanced, and paired wonderfully with the meal. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving exceptional Japanese curry and a great drink to match! Can't wait to come back! read more
