Standout place for homemade Japanese curry in Cupertino. Went here on a weekday lunch so there was no wait. The pork katsu curry is the best item here. Also enjoyed the kakuni curry. Service was fast and the sauce was great with the rice. Bright aromatic flavor jumps out, and far better than the standard prepackaged alternative that most other places use. read more

It would be 5 stars if not their really hostile to-go policy. Let me explain. The food is great but the store is small with only a few tables, so naturally some of us are going to take out food to go. BUT if you take out food to go, they won't let you use their flavored spices!!! "Can I have a little habanero spice to go?" "Dine in only!" -They say. "Can I just sprinkle some on top of my food before I go?" "No sorry, dine in only" They insist It just doesn't make any sense!!! The spices are part of what makes their flavor unique! Without it, they're just like every other Japanese curry shop! Well I've tried twice and they will not let me take any to go so I'm just going to stop trying. Dine in if you can. Be prepared to be treated like a second class citizen if you can't. read more

Food came out quick, enough seating with no wait! Got the pork katsu curry - the curry itself was a bit sweet. The spice options on the table helped balance it out. The katsu was juicy and crispy, wished it was a little thicker. read more

Curry Hyuga - Tonkatsu Curry (pork) - Japanese Curry Near Me - Cupertino, California

We ordered the signature curry katsu (pork loin) and the classic teishoku rice plate with double menchi katsu. The curry was really good. I'm not entirely but I tasted a faint hint of dry salted plum, which added a really interesting depth. That subtle curry paired beautifully with the rice and katsu. The pork katsu itself was pretty standard. The teishoku set came with a dashi based sauce instead of curry. It had a strong, savory flavor and was enjoyable, but I personally preferred the curry. The double menchi katsu was flavorful, it had a light onion flavor to it. My partner found it a bit overpowering, but I thought it was good. read more

Wait time: Notoriously has a long wait time to get a table with a place to put your name and number when walking in. There are other shops in the strip mall that you can peruse around while waiting. Ambiance: A fairly small restaurant with tables stacked very close to one another and easy to hear other peoples conversations going on while being quite loud inside. Service: Service is very efficient and the servers a very detailed about the menu. There are also buttons on the table to press in case you need a server more quickly as well. Food: Very tasty omurice and flavorful sauce. The rice is cooked well without feeling like it is overcooked or too hard. Potato salad is really good as well and they have extra chile powders in case you want to make it spicier. read more

Highlights: * Go early * Stroller/baby friendly * Curry and rice stole the show Food * Signature Katsu Curry (pork) - the pork Katsu was okay, though the curry itself was so delicious it made the Katsu the side dish. Enriching the rice with mild curry flavor, there's a reason half the plate is just curry. No one would order a dish with just rice but that was my favorite part. Not pictured but we also got the Corn Potage Soup and loved it! Service: With two babies, one stroller and one child seat, was thankful that they could accommodate our party. It helps we were there early. It fills up fast. Anyway great service here! read more

Having grown up in Cupertino, I'm always in awe how much things change year after year. Stumbled into this plaza and found Curry Hyuga was rather new and thought to give it a try. Super simple menu and smaller indoor seating. It was comfortable enough to have a catch up with a friend and not have to scream over each other. I ordered the chicken katsu curry and it was pretty good! Wasn't blown away by any means, but the portion was a good size and the pricing was fair. Solid curry joint & decent price point. read more

We signed in the kiosk. I don't think the wait time is accurate because I came here with a party of 3 and it said it is a 7 minute wait. We waited 21 minutes until we got the message to check in. Overall, the service was great. Food came out fast and tasty. My cousin-in-law said it tasted similar to the dish he had in Japan. They are adding new menu items soon and I'm looking forward to it. I will be coming back. read more

ou can really taste the 6 hour caramelized onions in the curry!! Definitely unique compared to other places that have an unoriginal flavor that's similar to those Golden Curry blocks. Katsu was decently thick and had a crispy crust. I also loved the refreshing potato salad and portion size of the shredded cabbage. Had some leftovers for a small lunch! The curry in the udon had a different, less rich, more variety of spices based flavor than the one in the rice dish and a soft boiled egg. Spot doesn't have many tables so I could envision a bit of a wait on the weekend. read more

I love coming to Curry Hyuga after grabbing matcha from Izumi. I always order their Chicken Katsu Curry, and the flavor is consistently delicious every time. The restaurant has a great vibe and a cozy, inviting interior. The staff are always warm and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I'll always recommend this spot to my friends whenever they're craving Japanese katsu curry. read more

Curry Hyuga - Katsu curry udon - Japanese Curry Near Me - Cupertino, California

I usually make my own curry using preprepared roux, but I'm glad Curry Hyuga exists for the days that I don't feel like making my own. This restaurant offers authentic and quality Japanese curry with different protein options. I usually get the assorted vegetable curry that perfectly pairs with the white rice, and cuts down the saltiness. I'd be cautious if you had high blood pressure though. The service is great and the employees are always friendly every time I come in. In fact, the other day I went in for a bizarre request and asked if they would sell me a cup of cooked rice to-go. Surprisingly, they do and there was no judgment from the cashier at all! I used that rice to eat with the stinky tofu I purchased from Moontea, hahah. The place is pretty small itself, but customers turnover quickly, so the wait isn't too long. There is a waitlist that you can put your name down on and they will text you once a table is available. The plaza is a great place to shop and peruse or get a milk tea while you wait. Overall, nice and cozy shop with a quick turnover, and excellent food. Highly recommend! read more

Very delicious spot to try and I 100% recommend if you are in the area. It's a very small restaurant but the service was really fast. Was debating between the Katsu Don or Signature Katsu Curry! I had to try the curry for the one time so I got this and loved it. Very good comfort meal and the katsu sauce was very sweet and flavorful. Only downside was that the curry was a bit spicier than anticipated than normal curry. Of course you have the option to change the spice level but it had a bigger kick than anticipated. read more

I had have Curry Hyuga on my "Want to go" list since forever and I finally try them out this weekend!! Likes many other Japanese restaurant's aesthetic, the store lay out and decoration is simple, minimalist, practical and have a little bit tradition Japan vibes. They have table for 2 and 4, a full house could seat up to 20-30 people at a time. I came 30 minutes after their opening time and there were 15 parties ahead of me, this place is so popular!! Put my name on the waitlist and waited for 40 minutes. Service was super quick and staff were friendly and efficient during my visit. I think my food arrived within 2 minutes after I placed an order. I got their Signature Katsu Curry with additional Chicken Karaage and Ajitama Soft Boiled Egg. Also I tested all 5 of their spicy chilli flakes and my favorite was Orange Habanero! Flavor wise, the curry is good, I can taste the vegetable inside it clearly, not completely smooth but came with texture of stir-fry vegetable in the curry sauce. The Katsu was crispy, but not as crispy as I would like it to be. I personally prefer thicker cut of katsu, while their katsu is on the thinner side, but no complaint, the breading was good and it was fried to perfection. I'm honestly prefer the Chicken Karaage a little bit better, the meat was juicy and flavorful. Ajitama Egg's yolk was more of a jammy consistency instead of oozy or runny. They did put a healthy amount of shredded cabbage to balance the meal out, creamy the potato salad was good and fukujin pickles makes the meal more balance. Overall, I can finally cross Curry Hyuga out of my "Want to go" list, I did have a good experience during my visit, food was good, service was great! read more

Well deserved of the hype and rating. The owner(?)/waiter is so welcoming and warm it made me feel good about it before I even ate anything. I ordered their special menu fried oyster curry, and it was amazing. I finished all of it. The oysters were crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The curry was flavorful and right amount of spicy. Even the potato salad was very creamy. Will revisit. Managed to grab a table without waiting on a friday noon, but I doubt thats the norm as the place is pretty much full. read more

TLDR: Great curry! Too much fried options though. I have been to the one in Burlingame, so I was happy that they have come to the South Bay! One negative is, this place is SMALL. Only 6 large tables, which can be split into 2 smaller tables as necessary... so 6-12 tables. Because of the size, this place is ALWAYS busy. Don't listen to Google... it told me 7pm on a Thursday would be no wait. I waited 30 minutes! I could tell just from the look of the curry, that I would enjoy it. It has a great roux, very dark, very UNCTUOUS. The kind of curry that sticks to your ribs. Not too spicy either, which I enjoy quite much. As I had just gotten some bad news about cholesterol, I was looking to get something not fried... it's difficult. I had to settle on a beef curry... which is also bad because I have gout. Oh well. Don't get old. Trust me, it's no picnic... Anyway, despite the busy-ness of the place, my food came out quite quickly... maybe within 5-10 minutes. Service was... servicable. Quick, professional. read more

Katsu udon curry 4/5 - this was just as expected. Nothing amazingly special. But the curry flavor was good and katsu was crispy. We came on a Friday night and they get very busy. We waited 20 mins for a table read more

I have been to Curry Hyuga many times and each visit never disappoints! There is usually a line so the first thing to do is to enter your information on the kiosk to join the waitlist. The wait wasn't long at all since it was around 20 minutes, which is great for peak lunch hours. Once inside, you're greeted warmly by the cashier and servers. The food came out pretty quickly after it was ordered. I got the Signature Chicken Katsu Curry and it was so delicious! Their curry is comforting and spiced just right. It also mixes perfectly with the rice and chicken katsu. Their portion size is huge and filling so I was feeling very satisfied after finishing my meal. read more

Curry Hyuga - Chicken Katsu Curry - Japanese Curry Near Me - Cupertino, California

Even at 2pm, there were still people waiting to get inside. No online waitlist--you have to sign up once you get there in person. The restaurant is really small and they often add an extra chair to 2- and 4- person tables to squeeze in an extra person on the side. No wasted seats anywhere! I got the house special with pork katsu. It's great value for the money. Huge katsu, a scoop of potato salad, and no one at my table managed to completely finish their plate. But I thought it was good but not spectacular, and maybe even a little salty. For reference, my favorite curry is the Golden Curry Japanese curry base from Asian supermarkets, so my taste probably trends sweeter. Service was really nice and friendly. read more

Five stars even for a take out order! Thoroughly enjoyed our meal in the car. Curry Hyuga always has a waitlist going no matter what time it is. Luckily for us, their takeout process is super super fast! We only only waited for five minutes, and our order was ready! The service staff were really nice and let us know that our order would come out quickly. For a takeout order, everything was super fresh- all items of the order were separated to ensure the katsu was crispy and the rice/curry kept their consistencies. The corn soup is underrated, and is a must have for a cold day! Chicken katsu is a huge portion, crispy on the outside, tender/juicy on the inside! The curry is so richhh and they don't skimp out on portions! Perfectly spiced but there is no heat to it. Always a good choice! read more

Our go to curry katsu place in the Bay. We used to go to the Burlingame location and loved it; this was equally as good!

Curry Hyuga - Chicken Cutlet Katsu - Japanese Curry Near Me - Cupertino, California

I was very excited for this Japanese curry, but this place is such a huge letdown. The pork Katsu was one of the failures very dry meat, not tender. The chicken Katsu was surprisingly better and made the meal a lot more pleasant. The curry itself has a very authentic Japanese curry vibe but it is slightly overly salty. Service is very friendly nice people casual restaurant. I probably would not get the pork Katsu again unless this was not their typical performance. read more

Checked out the Cupertino Curry Hyuga location with a few friends on a Wednesday night -- and wow, there was still a 45-minute wait! Didn't expect it to be that busy on a random weekday, but it makes sense since they're newer and the food was super umami and satisfying. As someone who loves Coco Ichibanya in SoCal, I was excited to finally have a Japanese curry spot in the Bay. - Signature Katsu Curry -- hand-breaded chicken cutlet with a great crunch. Loved the fukujinzuke (that crunchy red daikon radish!) and the curry sauce + rice combo was spot on - Karaage Curry -- Japanese shio-koji marinated fried chicken with a house breaded crust. Pairs well with the freshly shredded cabbage and potato salad. Only wish there were a few more karaage pieces - Korokke Curry -- corn and onion-filled potato croquette. Perfectly done and a tasty option even for vegetarians Even though the initial wait was long, the food came out surprisingly fast once we were seated. The space is small and every table was filled, but service stayed kind, prompt, and never rushed us -- even after we finished eating. Prices are a bit higher and portions slightly smaller than Coco, but still reasonable overall. read more

I LOVE this curry place. I always get the udon or the signature chicken katsu plate. This time I got to try the corn potage and oh my gosh it was so good. I recommend trying the teppanji chicken if you've never had it before. It's super flavorful! The workers are also super nice and always checked in on us. I like to bring friends here or go on dates with my partner. Good food and good vibes. read more

Ordered door dash of pumpkin curry + egg dom + 1piece Menchi meat and it was deliciousssss. I think they over gave on the rice but maybe someone would appreciate that? Nice egg dom over it, came with lots of pieces of nicely well cooked pumpkin, soft and surprisingly went well with the curry. I appreciate the food is not overly salty and feels healthy and light even tho it's curry! Free extra cabbage i also appreciate. The Menchi 1 piece was cooked perfectly, flavored perfectly, wow. The container was a little messy with the curry kind of spilling out but glad on the amt of curry. Overall another best meal i had this week, fav japanese curry place in bay area! read more

My boyfriend and I were really excited to try this place since there's always a long wait and it seemed so popular. We were in the mood for pork katsu, but after waiting about 30 minutes, this place turned out to be a huge letdown. It definitely doesn't live up to the hype. Here's a breakdown of why: Pork Katsu Cutlet: It had a nice crunch and good breading, but the meat was extremely dry. The pork itself was almost crunchy from how overcooked it was. Curry: The curry was way too salty and made me feel a bit queasy, even when eaten with rice. The sauce also wasn't hot enough, it was just warm, so my cheese didn't melt. I expect curry to be steaming hot, not lukewarm. This experience honestly makes me not want to eat Japanese curry again. The server was friendly, and the potato salad was good. But that was about it...those were the only positive comments I have for this place. read more

Before this, I have only been to the Burlingame location! So happy i got to try this location as well. Curry Hyuga has been a long time favorite place for katsu curry. We came here on a Monday afternoon at around 1 PM! It wasn't busy so we were seated right away and service was very prompt and friendly. Ambiance was very comfortable as well! The warm lighting makes it very cozy. The katsu serving is slightly larger than that of the other location, which I definitely appreciate! And the taste is consistent as well. The katsu held its crispiness in the curry as well which kept it very yummy. We also ordered a regular size edamame appetizer which was served hot and already salted with pepper. I really enjoyed it being hot as some places do serve it cold. Overall, I would definitely recommend to any Japanese curry lovers out there! And I would come again if I am ever in the area. read more

Just stopped by when I was around the area. No expectations at all. However, a big big wow. The signature curry with tonkatsu is really tasty. I added pork and egg for an extra $7, and I had no regret. Amazing combination for me. The service, hell yeah, was unbelievable. They were professional. I understood that it was packed, but the servers were really calm and fast. Cleaned up and set up at the same time. I love seeing it. Will come back soon, and a big shout-out to you guys. I give this restaurant an A plus. read more

Made it to Curry Hyuga after a much anticipated wait. The curry is delicious and flavorful. I think, like with anything else trendy in the Bay, temper your expectations. I was primed to expect life-changing curry. It was delicious (not life-changing). They have a tablet waitlist, so get there early and sign in - be prepared to wait. My friend and I met at noon for lunch on a Sunday and were seated probably 30 minutes later. Fortunately, there is a lot to see and walk around while waiting in the complex. Once seated, staff were so friendly and attentive. Would definitely return for the service. Seating is limited and the space is small, so you might bump elbows with your neighbor. But The curry was flavorful, and the katsu was so crispy. Parking can be tough since it's a busy shopping complex, but we always find a spot. Overall, a solid curry spot. read more

Curry Hyuga is a solid spot that will definitely satisfy your curry craving. The chicken katsu is very crispy and pretty juicy, curry is standard, omelette is nice and fluffy, and the potato salad is creamy and just the tiniest bit of acidic which is great to cut through the richness of the curry and when you need a break from the flavor. The service is great and the food comes out pretty quickly. The restaurant itself is small so the wait can be long at times, so keep that in mind during peak hours. read more

Curry Hyuga - Best katsu curry in the South Bay! - Japanese Curry Near Me - Cupertino, California

We've ordered delivery once before, and finally went in-person to try it out. The staff were quick to seat us and swoop by with water - a great boon in these hot times. There's a small little rack with 5 different peppers to turn up the heat. We ordered the chicken katsu teishoku and a pork signature katsu curry at spice level 3, with an added menchi katsu. The katsu was delightfully crispy and juicy. The spaghetti that came along with the teishoku is a little sweet, but as a result, is a nice compliment to the heaviness of the katsu. The miso soup was pretty bland, though. The teishoku comes with a heaping pile of cabbage. The curry was fine - I'll probably play around with the peppers on the table as opposed to ordering a preset spice level, since it ended up changing the flavor a bit too much. The menchi was delicious, and though I was a little too full at the end, it was definitely worth adding. read more
