@fortunefoodfinds: "I'll take CURRY of you! Haven't had CURRY HOUSE CoCo ICHIBANYA in what seems like forever. Ordered my go-to Chicken Cutlet/Cheese with added corn, Fried Chicken for da hubz, Kid's Curry x 2 + a side order of Chicken Cutlet, n' a side of Shrimp Shumai. My favorite n' what completes the meal is the pickled daikon to top it all off. This definitely hit the spot, we all highly enjoyed it a lot!" SERVICE: fast n' friendly INTERIOR: good amount of booth n' diner style seating EXTERIOR: in the McCully Shopping Center WAIT TIME: got seated right away, after placing our order the food came out in maybe 10 mins, no more than 15 mins PARKING: free lot, narrow spaces OVERALL COMMENTS: food is always good n' the price is great. It was our first time getting the kids curry n' our Keiki loved it n' everything it came with. My chicken cutlet was crispy, a big size, n' the curry is so delicious. Da hubz inhaled the fried chicken plate. The shrimp shumai are small fried pieces, but for the price it's a good deal. Highly recommend if you're wanting Japanese curry! read more

Made a phone order, and picked up from the store. Had to wait a little once we got to the restaurant. Paid when we got there. Food was good. Always consistently tasty. I got the mapo tofu curry and it was good and came with a few gyoza. We also got the shabu curry, which was a good open. But my go to is always chicken katsu with cheese, I'll probably get that next time! read more

Curry House, specifically McCully location always feels like home to me. I would come here when I was younger with my mom for dinner. Something about warm curry sitting in those red booth felt so comforting and safe. Now that I am sooo much older, I still come here, but with my boyfriend or friends. Curry House is somewhere you want to go out to eat, but not break your wallet for and anything you order is bombb. It has tasted the same ever since ever! Sometimes my dad will visit from the mainland and one day I decided to take him here because he loves a good Japanese curry with chicken katsu. OMG i should've took him here sooner because now it is his first request once he lands. Service is always quick and easy and they now accept credit cards. yayyy ifkyk. Can't wait to bring my kids here one day :) follow my foodie adventures on ig: smolgirlfatass read more

Curry House CoCo Ichibanya - curry udon & corn cream croquette with cheese - Japanese Curry Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This place never ceases to hit the spot when you're craving curry. This place has been at this location for a very long time. Inflation keeps rising but their prices are still on point! Parking can be difficult (limited/ tight stalls), but there is also a parking garage downstairs (be careful if you park downstairs in the garage, there have been break ins before, leave no valuables in your car). Overall, simple, delicious meal, with decent prices. I think service used to be a lot better. Employees would welcome you when you come in with "Irasshaimase".. ! But that vibe wasn't there. read more

My husband and I came to Curry House CoCo Ichibanya for a late lunch. I suggested we go here because my husband loves curry and he was astounded by the price. It's about $12 - 15 for a normal plate of curry here and we had been worried about our Hawaii trip because someone had told us prior that a decent meal could be upwards of $90. Curry House CoCo Ichibanya was such a delightful surprise because of the price but also the quality and quantity of the food. The curry house was near full when we arrived, but there were a few seats and no line. We were seated at the booth and given a menu where I promptly ordered beef curry rice and my husband ordered curry udon. The portion sizes were absolutely massive but the price was so affordable that we couldn't help but order some sides. We got some fried mini octopus that came out steaming hot with crisp outer layer and some tasty gyoza. I ended up getting too full midway, but my husband devoured my beef curry rice after polishing off the curry udon. The udon for both was such rich and flavorful and the beef cubes in my curry was amazingly tender. The food was so good that we considered coming back again, but we ended up visiting other establishments because it was our first time in Hawaii and we wanted to see as many different restaurants as we could. The service here was very nice. We didn't get checked up on very often and it was nice being able to eat in peace. It felt very cozy and being at the booth allowed us to observe the food being made behind the counter. A wonderful restaurant and I'm sure we'll come back to visit when we're back in Hawaii! read more

Stop by at 7:30pm for the first time and was kindly seated at the bar. The cooks were hustling putting out plates of food one after the other. Ordered the most popular item, kalbi and fried chicken. Waitress recommended I try the fried shumai appetizer. Within minutes, Shumai arrived steaming hot and had a nice crunch. Kalbi and chicken curry over rice was huge. The curry was very mild flavored and was delicious. Fried chicken melted in your mouth and the Kalbi was thinly sliced and soft. Everything blended so well. Ambiance was lively and upbeat. Very clean and efficient, felt like eating in Tokyo. Great value, will definitely be back to try everything on the menu. read more

I first fell in love with the curry house back in 2001, when they were in the Ala Moana food court. I always have to stop in at least once whenever I am visiting from the mainland. I was heartbroken to see the Ala Moana store had recently closed, but I'm glad this place was just around the corner. Before my first visit, I had never had Japanese brown curry before. Heck, I had never even heard of it. Now, I love it! I stopped in tonight, everybody was friendly. As of November 2025, this restaurant is to go only. I don't know if they are doing remodeling or what, but it wasn't a big deal, I just took my food back to my hotel. The menu is very large. I had the shrimp cutlet and stewed shrimp curry. She asked me if I wanted it spicy or mild, I asked for mild. When I got the food back to my hotel, the food was still plenty warm, and it was delicious. It's a thicker richer, curry, and it was wonderful. It didn't look like a lot of food, but it was. They were very generous with both the shrimp cutlet, as well as the stewed shrimp. The rice was perfectly tender, and there was a little bit of pickled veg, I believe it was ginger. That provided a nice pop of sweetness and acid. The curry had just a tiny bit of spice, just enough that I knew that it was there. It made my tongue dance just a tiny bit. I've never had a bad meal from this place, and tonight was no different. The prices are extremely reasonable. If you pay with credit/debit, there is a very small. Upcharge, but they let you know about it ahead of time. I will continue to come back whenever I'm on the islands. Thank you! read more

Curry House CoCo Ichibanya - A great meal.... - Japanese Curry Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Curry house has been a longtime go-to for reliable, no-frills curry. The menu looks large but the concept is pretty simple: you're getting curry with rice (or udon, if you choose) and some combination of toppings, many of them fried. You're not limited to the topping combinations shown on the menu, you can actually do whatever combination you want and pay for the toppings a la carte. Keep in mind that this is fast casual, simple food, and there's a good chance your meal will come out to less than $20 - at this price point, I wouldn't expect fresh oysters for fried oysters or dry aged pork going into the pork cutlet. That being said, the food is still tasty - shabu beef, mapo tofu, chicken cutlet, I could go on - there hasn't been a thing on the menu here that I did not like. Service is pretty minimal but has always been fast and efficient. The shopping center has a parking lot as well as a downstairs garage, but both can fill up completely during peak hours. read more

Love their curry! They don't use the standard golden curry box; it tastes completely different. I always get the spicy and its perfect. The curry was rich, thick, and perfectly comforting--just the right amount of sweetness. My fav is their mapo tofu over udon noodles. The portion sizes were generous. Highly recommend for a cozy, satisfying meal. Their service is fast and their food is perfect every time. read more

My coworkers and I ordered takeout, and I got a plate with a side of gyoza thinking it'd be a safe, simple choice. I was just about to take a bite when I saw it--a whole dead cockroach wedged inside the fold of one of the gyozas. I honestly wish I could unsee it. It completely killed my appetite and, honestly, everyone else's too. I called right away to report it and asked for a refund. When we went back, the reaction (or lack of one) made it even worse. No apology, no acknowledgment--just the cashier silently handing over the cash. She didn't seem surprised at all, which was really unsettling and made me question how often something like this happens. I get that mistakes can happen, but this isn't a small issue--it's a serious health concern. It completely ruined our experience and any trust we had in the restaurant's cleanliness. This was especially disappointing because we used to like Curry House, but after this, we definitely won't be coming back. Curry house, please do better. This isn't something any customer should have to deal with. If zero stars were an option, that's exactly what I'd give. read more

If you're looking for a solid bang-for-your-buck meal, Curry House CoCo Ichibanya definitely delivers! Portions here are generous--seriously, one serving could easily feed an adult and a kid. I went in hungry and still had leftovers, which is always a win. I ordered the takoyaki balls on the side, and let me tell you... these bad boys were HUGE. Way bigger than I expected, but they were definitely on the soggy side. The curry itself? Eh, not mind-blowing, but decent. It hits the spot if you're craving Japanese-style curry, but it won't be a flavor explosion for your taste buds. Oh, and if you check out the pic I posted... I was starving, so I had already scarfed down a good portion before remembering to take a photo. Worth trying if you're in the mood for a filling meal that won't break the bank! read more

It's okay, but there have been times like today that I tried to call in a phone order and they don't pick up and it goes to a FULL voice mail.

Right off a 6 hour flight we dropped in and picked up dinner to-go. I settled on my go-to dish... Chicken Katsu Curry with Cheese. It was soo delicious. I chose the hot spice level for my curry but it wasn't really that spicy, however, that was great for me because I don't really care for a whole lot of spice. The chicken was juicy and tender with that yummy melted cheese. We walked in, ordered and it was ready pretty fast. For the portion size and the quality it's very resonably priced. I'll be grabbing this meal once more before I fly out for sure!. I definitely recommend giving this a try if you haven't had it yet. read more

This is our go-to place when craving Japanese curry. The place is a little small, but we usually just do take out. Service is always friendly and they always get our order correct. Taste is consistent and food is very affordable. The parking lot is tight and can be hit or miss with parking. Only downside is sometimes the wait is longer than quoted, but it's always fresh when it comes out so can't complain. We always order Chicken Cutlet curry with extra cutlet. And extra pickled radish. They give you choke pickled radish which is great because our little ones love that. Highly recommend for Japanese curry. Yelp 2025 Challenge: 05/30 read more

Curry House CoCo is located in a small stripmall on Kapiolani/McCully. Found memories of finding parking in this busy lot. I think the first time we went here, it was so good that we visited them 3-4 times in our week stay in Oahu. There is something so comforting about Japanese curry and rice. We usually get the Katsu Curry, but they have a variety of things to try. Come check them out! Support local businesses. read more

Another night of curry at the Curry House. We had the beef curry as well as the tofu curry. Both were equally delicious. You can have all the expensive foods and fine dining on the beach but if you're not having it with someone that makes you happy the food and experience is a waste. Glad I spent it with my wife here. read more

One star for the 8 people working in the restaurant today. I was the second person to walk in the door to place a take out order. They served the whole sit down restaurant before they even made my 3 orders. It took 30 min to get my take out. No one acknowledged me when I asked where my order was in the que. all I got were blank stares. I told them 3 times that I was still waiting. Will not come here again for their slow and uncaring service. read more

Same old curry house. This place never changes. The food was the same as the last time I ate it (at a different location). I just finished running a half marathon and deserved a Chicken Cutlet curry.

Curry House CoCo Ichibanya - Spicy Chicken Cutlet Curry - Japanese Curry Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Tasty, fast, and fresh Japanese curry. If you haven't had this before, don't be thrown off by the appearance (pile of rice, brownish thick sauce, fried item on top) - it's a classic for a reason. The curry here is very good and the pork katsu (true classic) plentiful and crispy. We usually order that one and a plate of the mixed fried chicken/kalbi to share between a family of four. Honestly I can't imagine eating a whole plate on my own, making the actual meal cost quite reasonable. We've also enjoyed the croquettes (basically mashed potatoes or mashed pumpkin fried in pumpkin). Not a huge fan of the other sides (gyozas and shu mai are much better elsewhere and mini octopus were a bit wharfy, though cooked well). Easy, tasty, affordable, if not the healthiest lunch option. Service always friendly and helpful. read more

Did anyone go here on Monday, July 14th for dinner and get food poisoning? It was very hot in the restaurant like as if we were in the kitchen ourselves. We had the fried oysters, and I'm pretty sure that was the reason why we got sick. The oysters were probably not kept cold with room temperatures that high. It was our last night in HI when we decided to have dinner here because we loved it so much in Japan. We ordered 3 tonkatsu curry (they were out of chicken). The size was generous and the batter was fried golden. Pork was thick but not much flavor. My fiancé's plate looked like some pieces of pork were underdone (don't think he ate those pieces). My sister and I shared oysters. Curry was good but not like the Coco Curry in Japan. Literally tasted like something I can make from a box at home. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling very sick and threw up with my stomach super upset. My sister said she was throwing up all night. My fiancé was fine bc he didn't have any oysters, so we are thinking that is the culprit. read more
