This is the spot for a cozy/comfort meal. Warm curry poured over a crispy katsu and rice. Staff is very attentive and kind. You can customize pretty much all aspects of your meal if you're feeling hungry or in the mood for something spicy. read more

CoCo Ichibanya - Chicken katsu curry with added vegetables - Japanese Curry Near Me - Frisco, Texas

I love Japanese curry so I was pretty excited to find this place. Sadly I was disappointed by the limited and weird menu (naan at a Japanese place?) and what I feel are higher prices. The omelette curry only comes with curry, rice and omelette, egg only, no fillers. You can add a protein and extra toppings at added cost. The curry & food was not bad. I ordered takeout/delivery so can't speak towards their service and ambiance. Japanese what got so knocking them to 3 stars for that. If you have a hankering for curry and are ok with the somewhat higher prices this is not a bad spot. Edited Review notes: The management response to my initial review is correct in that delivery is different from takeout and I neglected to consider that they up the prices. So I removed all references to specific prices. That said I still feel it's overpriced for what I got and the menu is basic for my personal tastes. I understand it's a chain so that's their thing which is fair, just not for me :) read more

Went here today for lunch I cannot stress enough if I could I'd give them 100 stars. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is super clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The personnel are the nicest and most thorough I've seen anywhere! The manager checked on us at the end of our meal and was very pleasant. All the waiters made sure our water glasses were never empty and answered any questions. My grandson and his friend got chicken curry with scrambled egg on top, they got a pretty hefty heat level. I got vegetable curry (mild) with scrambled egg, theirs and mine was delicious. The curry sauce is fantastic. We shared the best garlic naan, yummy!! We also shared keema cheese fries, which are a meal in themselves! It was the best food eaten out that I've ever had! I hope you try it, you'll be so happy you did! read more

The pork cutlet curry with sausage with level 5 spice level was very delicious and it was nice in the inside. That level of spice was the right amount of spice for me. I tried it in Japan before and the curry tasted as good as when I ate it back in Japan. Overall, this restaurant reminds me of the days that I was in Japan. read more

Cocos, you marvelous curry house! Thank you for delivering adequate spice, above adequate textures, and out the wazoo adequate nostalgia. As someone who has enjoyed this overseas, it is being enjoyed equally so domestically, and the well placed nostalgia is kind on the spirit and on the taste buds.

CoCo Ichibanya - Chicken Cutlet Curry - Japanese Curry Near Me - Frisco, Texas

I thought it was ok!! I liked how they have such a big range for spice as i loove spicy food. I did think the pricing was a bit much bc i got the chicken cutlet curry ($13.99). It did taste ok!! But its quite literally just curry and a singular chicken cutlet - which makes sense LOL but i do like potatoes and other veg like onions or something in my curry which i wouldve gotten but it costed another $3-4 just to add the veg which was a biiit much imo. To me it did kind of taste like when you cook the cubed japanese curry from hmart :") but i would recommend when youre craving curry and looking for a quick bite! Maybe i just need to try a different dish from here but overall service was quick and friendly! read more

Food was good. Love the options for kids meal. The wait was over an hour. There were tables available but after us was a party of 12 they were trying to seat so they held off on those tables which made our wait longer: we could have been seated, eaten and left in the amount of time they were "saving" the open tables for. No way to eat gluten and dairy free. They don't say you can, but there were no options. This last visit was our 2nd time eating at Cocos. They used the same excuse when asking if they had certain menu options. "I'm working on a menu change" the first visit was 18 month ago, same response when asking. (My son lived in Iwakuni for 3 years so he's wanting a similar experience) In response to owners reply, menu changes weren't for gluten free options. It was for how the eggs can be prepared. read more

Great food! They have curry, curry omelets, curry upon, and salads! Lots of customization options as you have a box of atleast 30 add-ons as well as a wide range for their spice level. For me, level 4 was a comfortable level of spice where you can still feel the heat (and I do enjoy somewhat spicy foods like the buldak ramen) but enjoy your meal. The spice doesn't linger and is more of a nice kick. I opted for the vegetable curry omelet with stewed chicken added on. Good big portions, veggies were cooked perfect and chicken was tender. My husband opted for beef curry omelet with added dumplings. We also got the jumbo Thai tea which comes in a large beer glass and it was only $1 more than a regular size) so it was perfect for sharing. Lastly we got the garlic naan to compliment the curry. Was a but too much food for me with the naan but my husband finished everything and was very full! Definitely would come again. Ambiance was bright and busy even an hour before closing. Service was quick and friendly. read more

Wait times can be crazy. Highly recommend joining the waitlist via yelp before coming. We were promptly seated when we arrived. My daughter loved the seating. This is some of the best Japanese curry we've had since leaving Los Angeles. I highly recommend it. Worth the drive from Dallas proper. read more

MUST TRY!!!!! I love their curry, way better than the other curry restaurants around the Frisco and Plano area. I would highly recommend this restaurant to all my friends. Their food and services are beyond excellent! I asked for Udon + omelette combo, they don't have it on menu but they made it happen- fully customized! I love this place, will definitely come back! Tips: I can eat super spicy food, and they're level 5 spicy = jalapeños spicy which is hot. So if you can't take spicy, choose level 1 or 2 is good enough! read more

CoCo Ichibanya - Curry Udon+ green salad - Japanese Curry Near Me - Frisco, Texas

Everything here was super tasty and the service was quick and attentive! My husband and I ordered the chicken cutlet omelet, pork cutlet omelet, and the naan keema and got it level 4 spicy after reading all the reviews how anything beyond that is way too spicy. Everything was really good! The cutlets were crispy and very good when dipped in the curry. The naan keema, however, was our favorite out of the two. The flavors had more of an Indian curry flavor compared to the Japanese curry flavor, and had more heat. Would definitely order this again with a cutlet on the side next time. Overall, definitely excited to have a location near us so we can frequent often. read more

What a great introduction to Japanese curry and rice. Our food was delicious and came out quickly. Careful with spice, I ordered a 6 and it was up there. My party ordered level 4 and that was good for them. We ordered fish cutlet, garlic shrimp, cheese naan and omelette with asparagus/tomato. read more

3.5 stars rounding down (saw this chain restaurant in Japan but didn't get to try it there) It can be a bit of a wait so I'd say to come here early , it was 30-40min min around 1pm Menu offers variety of curry rice plates, curry udon, and omurice Me and SO's dish -- Veggie Curry and Curry Udon with Karaage, we both felt was pretty average and that the curry was a bit on the bland side Our friends enjoyed their Omurice and Curry Udon Tonkatsu though Skip read more

Super excited to see more Japanese curry options in DFW! The restaurant itself is super cute and bright. Staff is super attentive and nice. It's really great that you can customize the spice level on each curry you order. I got a level 4 spice and handled it with a breeze. I would recommend getting regular spice if you can't handle spice well but still want a small kick. I loved the udon curry, the texture was perfect. A great simple curry restaurant! read more

My family and I have been coming to Coco Ichibanya for years in California and we're so excited when we heard that there was going to be one in Frisco. This is the first and only location in Texas! My husband and I came in around 3pm and there was no wait. We were promptly greeted, welcomed in and seated within seconds of us walking in. There were 5 other parties dining in at the same time as us. The inside of the restaurant is very bright and everything was very clean. The service was so quick too and everyone working was very attentive. We ordered a garlic naan to share. For entrees, I got the fried chicken curry with no spice (mild) and my husband got the chicken cutlet with omelette (regular spice). This was his first time dining at this restaurant and gave it a 5 star review! There isn't much of a difference in spice between mild and regular spice. We both enjoyed our meals and hope to come back again soon! read more

My friends took me here for dinner. It's been years since I've had Japanese curry. They had a huge selection! I ended up with a combo of omelette curry with chicken cutlet and vegetables. They also have a wide range of spice levels. One of us chose level 15. (He said he can do more. Keep in mind, the higher the spice level, the extra the cost.) The rest of us are mild. The dishes are really filling and will keep you warm and full! The place is very busy so you def want to check online and get on the waiting list. We were on there for about 15 mins on a Saturday night of a three day holiday weekend. The staff were quick and attentive. They brought us a baby high chair and a small tray of utensils with extra napkins. Even though it was packed, the place was clean and not crazy loud. I would come here again with my family next time I visit Dallas. Parking is free and in front of the restaurant. read more

The last time I had Coco's curry was when I was in Japan 7 years ago. Ever since I had it then, I've been craving for another taste. I was so excited to find out they had opened a location in the DFW area and HAD to come in for a bite. I stopped by for lunch today and we were seated immediately. The place itself is well decorated and very clean. They include some cute decor related to their founding. After reading through the menu I ended up picking the Chicken Katsu with an Omelette curry. I usually like it spicy but just an FYI for first timers, the spice levels are seriously hot. I went with a 5 and it was super spicy. As I'm writing this review, I'm already craving another bowl and want to go back soon. read more

CoCo Ichibanya - Japanese curry w/vegetable medley and pork cutlet - Japanese Curry Near Me - Frisco, Texas

Always come back here for the curry! It is served so hot, warm, and delicious!! I always go for the chicken cutlet and vegetable curry at level 2 spicy, which gives it a little kick but not too much to be uncomfortable. The spiciness is a building type. The flavors of the curry are so nice and the cutlet is always crunchy! The inside is so beautifully well kept and clean, and the service is so friendly. I've seen the owner here every time and he is always so happy with a smile on his face, and it is so welcoming! Quality of food and service has always been amazing. They even package their to go orders so nicely!!! My go to curry place! read more

Very good and very consistent. One of our to-go places. If you order the curry, try tonkatsu sauce on the side! I always get a chicken or pork cutlet and the corn salad (it has an amazing dressing). Note that you cannot order to pickup (unless you use highly marked-up DoorDash)-- you must come in person to order, even to go. But the to-go containers are awesome. It keeps the curry and rice separate. read more

I can't believe I didn't try this place sooner! It's so good. It's curry everything! Very fast paced. As soon as you are seated, they are ready to order and you get your food fairly quick. We ordered the fish cutlet curry, chicken cutlet curry with egg over rice, and naan. It's set up like a Japanese ramen shop you'd see in the anime's, a little mezzanine and some tables for seating. Great for small and large groups. I want to come back and try some other dishes. Till then, let's eat! read more

Best curry in DFW by far! I really like how you can get your curry extra spicy. Do yourself a favor and get double chicken katsu with cheese omelet level 7. You'll thank me later. It is so good and is my go-to. You also can't go wrong with their fresh Thai tea or watermelon juice to complement your meal. In terms of service, it is also great with each staff member knowing what to order off the menu. The restaurant also gives you that nice lightning and homey feel. What kind of freaks me out about this spot is that the curry is quite addicting. I have found myself craving it on random weekends, especially on colder days. A pro tip is if you're coming in between Friday and Sunday, make sure to waitlist on Yelp. I have been quite a few times and have seen a line out the door. It doesn't look like this spot will get less popular anytime soon. read more

We waited for the crowds to die down and finally came to try their famous katsu and curry! The wait was about 5 minutes long and check-in kiosk is outside. We got the cream and mushroom curry along with the chicken katsu udon. Curry was definitely unique-- something you aren't used to! It was very good for something different. The level 4 spice level was just right for us. It definitely gave it a good kick. The baked keema fries were okay but a little bland. I would not order that again and stick with curry. Overall, a great experience! read more
