    Very much enjoyed their lunch special $13.50 for a pork belly rice bowl with curry + 3 pcs gyoza! Curry is delicious and generous and filling! We also ordered spicy chicken katsu with mild curry and was satisfied. The restaurant was so busy during the lunch hour, Jose was a one-man show taking orders, serving, bussing, taking payments. He remained calm and smiling the entire time. We are motivated to return to try the other items in the lunch menu and maybe happy hour! Thank you Jose!

    Delicious spot! Their karage and spicy katsu curry were on point and very spicy. Opted for the medium spice level, but they have mashed red chilies in between the katsu as well so be prepared if you can't handle spice. Tonkatsu was a great dish as well, not on the spicy side but perfect texture and crunch. Overall great spot to check out if you're craving katsu curry!

    Tried Curry Do and already want to come back. Such a good spot if you have kids because they offer kids eat free, which honestly makes dining out feel way less stressful. I ordered the pork belly curry and it was so comforting and flavorful without being overly heavy. The pork belly was tender and the portion size was really good. We also got the curry fries as an appetizer and those disappeared fast. Crispy, seasoned well, and perfect dipped in the curry. For drinks I tried the Matcha & Poppy which was super refreshing. We also ordered the beef belly donburi and the beef was soft, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the rice. The restaurant itself felt clean, casual, and family friendly while still having really good quality food. Definitely one of those places you can go for a comfort meal and leave happy

    Menchi ishiyaki curry with fried egg and side of hot sauce
    Yau-Ru C.

    A friendly neighborhood eatery specializing in Japanese curry. The lunch specials are popular and good value at $13.50 for your choice of a small appetizer (gyoza, takoyaki, etc.) and entree (shrimp tempura curry, katsu curry, etc.). I got the menchi ishiyaki curry and added a fried egg. The original (mild) curry sauce is slightly sweet, and the side of hot sauce (available upon request) was a nice kick of flavor...a little bit goes a long way so don't add too much at once. Service is friendly, and environment is relaxed. Saw lots of people stopping by for takeouts so might try that next time for family dinner.

    Tonkatsu curry with cheese
    Raven R.

    This is a great casual restaurant to get japanese curry. There's plenty of parking, the place is clean, and the staff is very attentive. We got the build your own and opted for tonkatsu with cheese with rice. Also ordered curry fries and chu hi lemon soda to drink. Tonkatsu with Cheese- The curry sauce is delicious and flavorful. We ordered it mild so there isn't too much heat. The tonkatsu is crisp with a juicy interior and paired well with rice. The add on cheese delivers a creamy contrast. The pickled radish adds a burst of freshness. Curry Fries- Fries have a nice crisp and served piping hot. The curry and cheese provides a delicious sauce that absorbs so well. Such a fun appetizer! Chu Hi Lemon Soda- This has 6% alcohol but it was so refreshing I could barely taste. A nice twist to lemon soda. Great experience overall!

    My fav curry spot in OC and in my old hood Eastside Tustin. The first time I got my ass kicked was right around the corner. The first 10 on 10 gang fight was around the counter. So many memories! I took my 13 year old, it was his first time having Japanese curry and he loved it. The service was excellent, I'm pretty sure it was the owner. We ordered the shrimp tempura udon curry bowl. The bowl was topped with the hottest, crispiest, freshest just out of the fryer shrimp. UUUUUHHHHMMMM i still dream of this. And that thick curry with the baddest ass udon noddles made by the Japanese gods. So good! Also the beef belly which was like that beef belly you get in Korean bbq that has that flat top crispiness. Served over that incredible Japanese rice. Da best! Also those pickles cut right through the heaviness of the spicy curry. So darn good, loved every bite. We'll def be back.

    Salad that came with the donburi
    Jeremy D.

    A cozy little restaurant. Not good for large parties. We were a party of 5 and can only sit at the bar seats. We happened to be there during happy hour. Takoyaki and agedashi tofu for $5 each. -The takoyaki wasn't as crispy as we would have liked. -tofu was good. -Beef belly donburi and chicken katsu donburi was flavorful but the beef to rice ratio was off. Not enough protein to rice ratio for my 13 year old growing teen. Haha -spicy chicken katsu with spicy curry level. Boy! That was SPICY! I can take spice and I eat thai chilies all the time, but let me tell you this was Hella spicy. I was sweating and couldn't even finish. (Fire emoji) -curry udon with soft shell crab - this was very tasty! Overall, the service here was very attentive and food was great!

    $15 SPICY CHICKEN KATSU CURRY: it was a building spice & I also added red pepper that they serve on the side.

    AMBIANCE (4/5): Modern and sleek. It's usually pretty empty for the 2 times I've been here. I think I've been the only one both times. SERVICE (5/5): Service was prompt and extremely friendly. We stayed to talk a long time and they didn't mind. But again we were the only ones the whole time. FOOD (5/5): The protein portion is small for each dish, so unless you're a "light" eater I highly suggest to add more protein. The taste of the food is AMAZING! It's a simple menu and I love that! They execute what they have very well. $15 SPICY CHICKEN KATSU CURRY: it was a building spice & I also added red pepper that they serve on the side. They have a build your own bowl, also got a PORK BELLY UDON. The udon is such a great option, I'm definitely ordering that next time. Don't forget to add a fried egg for added flavor! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    A great japanese curry spot that doesn't have lines! Best part is that you can create your own bowl, including which meat, base, spice level, and add-on sides you want. Decided on the pork belly curry udon w/ an added egg. Pretty standard - the curry was very flavorful but the pork belly was very dry. They also do give a lot of meat compared to the base though!

    Beef belly curry lunch special, with potatoes and carrots.  And fried gyoza.
    Nerina E.

    Their lunch special is great! Choice of appetizer, pick your protein and spice level, for $15. I had the gyoza, which were fried and came with a nice dipping sauce, and I had the beef belly adding potatoes and carrots, at medium spicy. Overall it was really good, and the bowl had a good amount of pickled reddish to refresh the pallet, I only wish it had a bit more sauce or maybe less rice... just needs to balance out. The service was quick and friendly, and the place is very clean and bright. Definitely recommend, and I will be coming back for more.

    curry udon with katsu and shrimp tempura
    Gardenia B.

    my first time trying curry udon! Every time I come to a curry spot I always get the plate because it's what's familiar but here you can order curry different ways so I decided to try the udon and it was really good! I definitely recommend it especially now that the weather is a little cooler. You can also do split protein, which was great because I couldn't decide. This location is pretty decent because it has its own parking lot and it's nearby other shops as well. The people here are really nice and the service is pretty fast! It's a great casual spot to get your curry fix.

    Beef donburi
    Jaymes M.

    Took the family to Curry Do in Tustin after a long day at work. We didn't order much since the kids spoiled their appetite. We probably arrived about an hour and a half before closing. We were immediately seated and got to ordering two items. Service was quick and friendly. Our drinks were topped off frequently so we never ran out. That was really good because I drink a ton of water. I mean a ton. FYI. We were very cold inside. The table we were assigned to, was right under powerful AC vents. If you get cold easily, you need to bring a sweater. What we ordered; 1) Kari Kari - it's a chicken appetizer that comes with cabbage and tomato, with a soy garlic and mayo sauce. It seemed to have a tempura style batter on it, but not sure. This was a small portion even as an app, it was good. I liked it, however, I got tired of it quickly despite the small serving. You definitely need to have some of the cabbage to break the monotony of the fried chicken. A palette cleanser. 2) Beef donburi - this dish reminds me of Yoshinoya just eyeballing it. It was so good. I would order this one again. The meal came with a side salad that was also pretty tasty. The beef donburi was a hit with my picky kids. They started eating my food but they weren't hungry enough to order their own. I left Curry Do wanting more. I'm just gonna need to go back and make sure to order them one. Overall, I was happy with our food choice and the service. The food was good and we were well taken care of.

    My husband and I wanted to try the spicy chicken katsu curry with rice advertised on their window, so we ordered this through their Curry Do app. The app is super simple to use and uses your digital wallet. We ordered the entree with the spicy curry which was indeed above the level my husband can tolerate so we ended up swapping plates. We added the carrots and potatoes. Just a note, the small curry and regular curry dish is priced the same so order the bigger portion to save for later! This curry was so good and reminded me of the curry we had in Japan. The food came out fairly quickly and the servers are super nice. I'm so glad there are more of these spots in OC because curry is life! Curry Do is located on Newport near the THH where I go for Vietnamese banh mi when I don't feel like driving into Little Saigon. The parking lot can get busy at times but it's worth a visit if you're in the area. The restaurant has a few tables inside, along with a bar area that can sit single diners and you can always order your food to go.

    Ask the Community - Curry Do

    Does the curry contain dairy ingredients?

    Normally, Japanese curry has butter.

    Is the chicken white meat or dark?

    White - Chicken breast.

    Does the curry contain peanuts?

    I asked the owner, no nuts of any kind in the curry.

    Is it good for kids?

    If they are okay with spices, it is premade, can't adjust spicy and there is a slight kick to it

    Do they have Spice Levels? Like other Curry reseturants?

    No they have one level and give a side of powder if you want to make it spicier. The curry itself is pretty mild.

    Are any of the curries gluten free?

    I asked about this, and as of right now, no. The roux (needed to thicken the curry) has wheat flour.

    What's the hours?

    11:30am-9:30pm every day, not accounting for any holidays

    Nothing like a hot curry on a hot day!…read more Japanese curry is my favorite type of curry, and Coco does it great! Served piping hot, I had it with crispy fried chicken and a heaping portion of rice. Service was quick, from your table, you can both order and pay. Inside was crowded as with all spots at Diamond Jamboree. Parking is also horrible as always, park in the structure at the back!

    First time at Coco Ichibanya and the food definitely did not disappoint. The portions are huge and…read morethe price is great. I ordered 2X Garlic Naan, Curry Udon & Chicken Cutlet Omelet. For three, this was more than enough and we had leftover. The curry itself tasted great. The omelet was alright; I would just get the regular Chicken Cutlet next time. The curry udon was simple yet very hearty & filling. The food came out within 10 minutes so pretty quick despite how busy it was. We didn't get checked up on at all but understandable since it was busy and late in the evening. The reason why I'm giving it a 1* is the service. One of the workers (pink or red/black hair) asked us if Garlic Cheese Naan was ours and we said yes since she was speaking very fast. As soon as we realized it wasn't order, we corrected ourselves and exchanged with the server for our Garlic Naan. Not sure she was upset that we accepted the wrong order on accident, but she gave us an attitude the rest of the night. She placed our plate on the edge of the table and walked away. About 10 minutes into our meal, she places the bill at the edge of the table, which we thought was odd. Not sure why is she running away and rushing us After we paid, she took it away without saying anything, like asking for a to-go, etc. The other workers were very nice -- placing our food in front of us, asking if we needed to-go, etc. Her interaction just ruined the dining experience for us and I noticed other reviews had similar issues with other servers as well.
