    First timer here and wowwww the classic Chicken Katsu Curry is amazing!! We actually split the plate because I wasn't super hungry but the portion is humongous. The plate came with potato, shredded cabbage, and pickled radish (i believe). The curry sauce was the star of the show and it wasn't super salty. There were also spice powders available with different spice levels! I would definitely come here again.

    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.

    Signature Curry Katsu (pork loin)

    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.

    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: [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super simple menu and smaller indoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was comfortable enough to have a catch up with a friend and not have to scream over each other.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Highlights: * Go early * [[HIGHLIGHT]]Stroller/baby friendly[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] * 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!

    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.

    Chicken Katsu Curry

    Chicken Katsu Curry had the perfect meat, curry, and rice ratio. I cleaned my plate clean! Seasoned perfectly and the flavors were balanced. If you need seasonings, they provide them at your table. Service was fast and the tables were cleaned right away before and after seating. They were attentive and always provided recommendations and water. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant is a casual vibe allowing for very fun conversations while eating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Great food and awesome service! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Its a small lively place but they seem to turn tables quickly without compromising the quality of the food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the basic katsu curry with rice and it was delicious!! Would I go back? For sure!!

    Curry pork katsu udon
    Allison K.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Spot doesn't have many tables so I could envision a bit of a wait on the weekend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has a great vibe and a cozy, inviting interior.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    The service is always amazing here and food is delicious. They've been adding new stuff to their menu as well which is great. I love getting their katsu curry (pork) and the corn potato soup. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is a little small though so can get crowded depending on when you go but overall, would recommend![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Curry Hyuga was a pleasant surprise. We stopped by at 5:30 p.m. on a Friday and somehow managed to grab the last two tables before the line started forming behind us. Sometimes luck is part of the dining experience. The food came out remarkably fast, but nothing tasted rushed. The katsu was fried fresh to order, crisp on the outside, juicy inside, and notably free of that old-oil taste that can ruin an otherwise good meal. The curry was rich, comforting, and exactly what you hope for when you're craving Japanese curry. What impressed me most was the balance of quality, speed, and value. Everything was freshly prepared, served quickly, and dinner for two was only about $40. No trendy twists. No unnecessary reinventions. Just honest, satisfying Japanese comfort food done well. We'll definitely be back. Next time, perhaps a few minutes before 5:30.

    Is the curry vegetarian or does it contain any meat broth?

    They have two completely vegetarian options. They are on the menu photo as "vegetarian" and I called and confirmed.

    How much is a regular dish ? And when did it open?

    Around 17 dollars for a dish

    Does any of their menu item contain peanuts or any nut related ingredients? Peanut allergy here!

    I also have a peanut/tree nut allergy. I survived and enjoyed eating a curry plate here

I do see that the curry is prepared different from other curry restaurants and the curry itself is actually very good. Rice to curry ratio is like 80% rice, 20% curry. CHICKEN KATSU CURRY (3.5/5) - chicken is super thin and I wish there was more. EBI FRY CURRY (4/5) - decent, crispy ebi. I actually enjoyed the panko breading and it went well with the curry. Overall, nice casual spot. I can see why it's popular with locals but I wouldn't go out of my way for this place especially with the likes of Curry Hyuga.

A curry katsu dish cost $20 before tips. One downside was the customer service.

There's no seating available, so you'll need to plan on taking your food elsewhere. If you're just looking for a convenient curry lunch, it's fine, but don't expect much in terms of service or dine-in atmosphere.

I ordered the creamy mentaiko pasta, which is a dish I usually love and also enjoy making at home. Unfortunately, this version really missed the mark for me. The pasta itself tasted like basic boxed pasta, and the sauce had an odd consistency. Instead of being creamy and coating the noodles, it was served more like a thin soup. The mentaiko flavor was also very minimal, so the dish lacked the rich, savory flavor I was hoping for. Overall, I really wanted to like this place, especially because the staff seemed so sincere. But based on the food and overall experience, I unfortunately would not recommend it to anyone looking to try new spots in Japantown.
