Stopped into rodeo39 for the first time and decided to try Kare. Really great portion for the price and the curry flavor was sooo rich and the right balance of spice, texture and thickness. Can't go wrong! read more

Karē Japanese Curry - Japanese Curry Near Me - Stanton, California

Stopped by Rodeo 39 for the first time with a buddy just to kill some time. I was kind of hungry, so I decided to try this spot. You can order through the kiosk or the person in the front. Not commenting on the service because I ordered through the kiosk. From what I recall, there's no dedicated restaurant seating... it was basically first come first serve food court seating. I ordered the chicken curry katsu. The katsu came out super crispy... light, crunchy breading that held up all the way through without getting soggy. The curry itself was rich and flavorful without being overpowering, and it paired really well with the rice. Everything felt intentionally balanced, just the right ratio of curry to rice. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area. read more

I care for Karē A Japanese curry eatery with a good variety of classic style dishes and some limited vegetarian and vegan friendly options. Known mostly for their Katsu and curry based dishes. My first time here I was meeting up with a group of friends so having some small bites of classic style fries and vegetable gyoza hit the spot. Appreciate their miso soup (miso paste broth), pickled radish, sides and small menu items. Everything it self order on their kiosk, but there is someone there to guide you if you have questions or need assistance. Service is pretty quick and everything comes just as pictured in disposable containers. Open every day at 11 AM. read more

Came across this cute little place inside Rodeo 39. As someone who's always on the hunt for yummy Japanese curry, I just had to give it a try. With several protein options available, I asked the young lady working there for her favorites, and she recommended the pork belly. The good: the curry itself is amazing! Love everything about it, even the slight kick of spiciness! The bad: the pork belly was so dry, hard and lacked any flavor! Also, the menu pics sort of made it look like they'd come breaded. So disappointed. I still believe this would've been amazing with any other protein, e.g. chicken katsu, spam katsu (hopefully), because the curry base is pretty incredible. However, that's difficult to say and rate presently because of the super dry pork belly and the young lady working there said it was her favorite. Will update if and when I find myself in the area and jonesing for their Japanese curry! read more

I love a good Japanese curry, so when I saw Kare inside of Rodeo 39 Public Market, I wanted to give it a try. Each plate comes with rice, curry, and fukujinzuke (red pickles) along with your choice of protein. I can't say no to shrimp tempura, so I got a plate of that. It comes with five pieces of shrimp. I also tried some of the pork belly plate, which I thought was unique, as I haven't seen pork belly, specifically, paired with curry before! It was pretty tender and went well with the curry sauce. For a side, they have Curry Fries, which is basically just regular fries with a side of curry sauce for dipping. Fun to eat and yummy! read more

My friend and I were walking around Rodeo 39 and decided on this place! We ordered on a kiosk and the food came out really quickly. I was a klutz and accidentally dropped my utensils while bringing my food to the table. It was super embarrassing and honestly I was just gonna walk away shamefully and wipe the spoon and use it anyway, but the nice worker had already grabbed me a new one. We were able to sit at a table nearby since we came on a weekday and it wasn't as busy. They played mostly pop music while we were there yapping and it was a great vibe! The curry itself was pretty good and slightly spicy, which I enjoyed. I thought the chicken katsu was pretty bland and flavorless, but fortunately the curry was packed with flavor so I didn't mind as much. I really enjoyed the side of shrimp tempura and felt like it was definitely better seasoned than the katsu. The proportions were really good and I liked that the curry was in a separate container so my katsu didn't get soggy. read more

Karē Japanese Curry - chicken katsu curry and shrimp tempura - Japanese Curry Near Me - Stanton, California

The curry is quite good here. I tried it in two forms: -chicken katsu ($14.00): fried chicken katsu, white rice, curry, pickled radish + green onions -pork belly ($15.00): grilled pork belly, white rice, curry, pickled radish + green onions To be honest, I didn't read the descriptions and instead relied on the picture menu. Based on pictures, I thought the pork belly was breaded. Boy was I wrong. You get 4 generous pieces of grilled pork belly. Pairing it with curry is interesting. Not bad, but not familiar, so I liked it okay. The chicken katsu on the hand was great. I'd definitely order that again. This place is great if you're in the mood for curry. read more

Karē Japanese Curry - pork belly: grilled pork belly, white rice, curry, pickled radish + green onions = $15 - Japanese Curry Near Me - Stanton, California

This is close to where I live, so it's my to go to place whenever I'm craving for chicken or pork curry katsu. The service is very quick, and when ordering now, they have self ordering using touch screen. Don't worry if you don't know how to use or how to order, there will be a person standing in the front kiosk to help you. The chicken filet meat they used is white meat, and yet still tender and juicy. The crispy ness is good, the curry sauce is also taste really good. Portion wise is good with the price. But as for me to get a miso soup for $3, is not worth it. It comes in a small cup, the flavor for me is a bit water down, and the seaweed and tofu is very little, so basically is just a broth soup. So the place is inside the food court. And they have move suites from the old one, where before used to be on the left side from the stage, now it's the opposite side, which is the left side of the stage, closer to the tattoo store in the back (where the Filipino fusion store used to be) The atmosphere at night & weekend will be very loud, because on the stage there's always something going on, from karaoke night, trivia night, a live band or a sporting events. So seating could be a challenge, but you can always find one. So it is good for a big groups, and plenty of variety of foods at this place and also there's a bar that serves alcohol. read more

Karē Japanese Curry - Miso soup w/ curry Chicken Katsu - Japanese Curry Near Me - Stanton, California

I never knew Japanese Curry was this good. I tried a bite from a family member's order and I was hooked! The katsu is cooked nicely with a thin crispy crust with a brown curry sauce that's a perfect consistency and delicious without being too spicy, which could have easily overwhelmed the excellent curry in the sauce. Service is super courteous and quite efficient. A nice find here at Rodeo 39! read more

Solid food and i love how they don't have option to tip! I would tip for just for that! Anyways first time at the public market and I chose this to satiate my cravings after a hard workout. I got the fried chicken gyoza plate with a side of fried egg. They also give you a side of chili powder to add which is a must bc I like my curry with a spicy kick. Service is quick but also there was no crowd on a Tuesday late afternoon. For $16 I'd say it's pricey but it's a no frills no hassle place so I could imagine myself coming back if I were in the area and looking for a quick eat. read more

As someone who grew up a fan of Curry House this place is pretty good. The curry to food ratio is pretty decent. I will say the curry tastes like your traditional Japanese curry with the subtle sweetness. The price though is pretty expensive given how much it costs to make. Definitely worth a try once if you are in the area or looking for a place to order delivery from. read more

Newest addiction! We are obsessed with the beef belly curry from here. The beef is extra tender and they make sure to load your bowl with plenty of it. The curry is savory and pairs perfectly with the beef belly and rice. Great bang for the buck. You can easily make two meals out of a single order. Love it here!! read more

Beef belly curry rice was so good. Think of a yoshinoya beef bowl but elevated... the onions to meat ratio was 1:1 and the meat tasted like it was of high quality and not too fatty. Paired with the japanese curry brought it to the next level. We enjoyed it with the side of red pickled radishes. read more

Had their katsu and beef curry. Both really good! the curry comes in a separate container that stays hot really well. Also, you can order online on their website really easily on phone and I used apple pay. Rodeo 39 ambience is always nice, just maybe hard to find parking at dinner time. read more

I ordered chicken katsu with curry. The chicken katsu was thick and juicy! The portion was pretty good too.

Located in Rodeo 39, this little establishment has been my go to for Japanese curry for a year now. The majority of the time I have it delivered to my house. It's less expensive if you order there in person. The chicken katsu curry is my favorite. The portions are decent as are the prices. read more

I've been wanting to try Kare for a while. I ordered the Chicken Katsu curry plate and I was disappointed. There wasn't enough curry to cover the entire meal. Also, the curry tasted more like gravy than curry, which was off putting. read more

Get the beef belly, add egg. The food taste super gooooooooooood. The beef and rice is perfect match with the curry.

The spam katsu curry was so tasty!! I've been looking everywhere for good crispy spam katsu. Ordering was easy too, the girl standing at the counter helped us, however the kiosk was pretty self explanatory- Food came out within 15-20 minutes! The curry itself wasn't too overpowering either, definitely makes u want to keep eating it. read more

Went here for the first time. It's located in a marketplace/food court type place. You place your order on a screen. They only accept card or Apple Pay. You pick your food up when it's ready and find a place to sit. My husband and I sat inside and we enjoyed our curry. I got chicken cutlet and curry and my husband got beef belly and curry. They were both delicious!! Got two cans of Diet Coke. One of the best Japanese curries we've had & we've been to Japan. Will definitely be coming back again for more curry! 5 out of 5 stars would recommend to a friend!! (: read more

We went to Rodeo39 to pick up some cookies from Sweet G's and decided to try this new curry spot. My wife and I used to live near Sawtelle in LA so we have definitely had some solid curry in our day...and I am sad to report that Kare is pretty average. I understand that food prices have gone up and labor is more expensive, but the value proposition that they offer for their chicken katsu curry is just not there. Their labor costs cannot be that high because you literally order on an ipad despite the worker standing right behind it, which is awkward. The portion was average and while the flavor of the curry was good, they have zero customizability on their entrees - I am used to being able to modify the spice level and add various toppings to my dish, none of which, Kare offers. The chicken katsu itself was also average, not the worst, but not special in any way either. read more

1/5 - Disappointing Experience Tried to place an order for four curry plates, but their website was down (photo attached). I called to order over the phone, but the staff refused, saying they don't take phone orders. While I respect their policy, there should be an exception when the online system isn't working. Frustrating experience with no solution offered. Would not recommend. read more

Came to Kare Japanese Curry for lunch and ordered the Chicken Katsu with a side of fries. First and foremost... The customer service was amazing. She was far too kind. The food was soooo good. Chicken was well seasoned and moist. The rice was cooked perfectly. The curry was delicious. I will totally come here again. Worth the drive. It was busy but ate my food outside. read more

A great curry spot located in Rodeo 39 Public Market that you don't want to miss out on! Their curry is quite flavorful and their portions are pretty generous. I like that they make the food fresh to order because when I got my order, it was all piping hot! This spot definitely stood out to me because of their pork belly protein option for their curry. I believe not many curry places offer pork belly as the protein. I know there are a lot of good food options in Rodeo, but honestly, even if I was full from trying other spots, I would still order their curry entrees to go because it's that good! They even give you extra chili powder if you want the sauce to be spicier. I hope one day they can offer a plate/bowl option that allows you to choose two different proteins. || L O C A T I O N / P A R K I N G || -Located inside of Rodeo 39 Public Market near Dot & Dough and Primal Cuts. -Parking lot can be quite chaotic and full on the weekends. || F O O D || Pork Belly Curry - My absolute favorite! At first I thought this would be a braised pork belly with curry, but I was super excited when I saw it was pan fried pork belly. I've never tasted a pork belly so crispy on the outside and wasn't overcooked! It was such a real treat! I definitely recommend the pork belly! Chicken Katsu Curry - You can't go wrong with the typical chicken katsu cutlet with curry! The chicken cutlet was crispy and juicy on the inside. Furikake Fries - Super crispy with a good amount of furikake seasoning. I liked how the seasoning was evenly applied to every piece of fry. Great for those that like both sweet and savory flavor simultaneously. read more

Discover @karejapanesecurry inside Rodeo 39 and you won't be disappointed! There are so many amazing choices and combinations that you cannot go wrong. The Japanese curry sauce is rich and savory. The proteins seems endless and you really can't go wrong. Oh yeah, the portions are plentiful and filled to the rim on certain combinations. What did we eat at KARE? Furikake Fries Crispy Goyzas Chicken Katsu Curry Beef Belly Curry Pork Belly Curry Crispy Shrimp Curry All main proteins are yummy on its own but dipping all the meat in the curry is all extra umami!! Don't forget dipping your fries and goyzas into the curry is also very delicious. A family favorite has to be the Beef Belly that tastes like Gyudon, yummy! It's a food court, so it going to be loud but service is prompt with ordering the kiosk. read more

Probably a 3.5/5 for me but I'll round up to a 4 because the workers were nice. This place is located in Rodeo 39 so expect a lot of people walking around and possibly trouble finding parking. We came on a Saturday for lunch and quickly made our order, which came out promptly in 15 minutes. What we ordered! - Chicken Katsu (4/5): probably their most popular menu item. The chicken itself was fried well and the batter wasn't too thick. The meat was tender and not dry, especially paired with the curry. It comes with some pickled radish and a good amount of curry. I think the rice to curry ratio was pretty on point. However, I think I just have a preference for the darker brown and thicker type of Japanese curry. This one is lighter brown in color and pretty runny. Taste isn't bad, but nothing too special either. - Pork belly (3/5): Not really my cup of tea. The pork belly didn't feel that fresh and although some of the fatty pieces had a bit of crunchy char, it didn't pair that well with the curry because of how fatty and thick it is. - Shrimp tempura side (3/5): Comes with 5 pieces ish. Probably would pass on this one. The batter is pretty thick and it was on the saltier side, even without the dipping tempura sauce. read more

Simple and delicious! The chicken katsu always has a great crunch even when dipped in the curry, the meat wont get wet and soggy. The curry itself is very savory, slight kick to it, perfect for all! Service is very friendly and on-point with delivery time when dining in at location! Highly recommend for quality Japanese curry! read more

Placed an order online for pickup and the process was super easy! The shrimp tempura was the best thing on the menu! $6 for 5 pieces is such a steal AND they were nice, light, and crispy. The curry had decent flavor but not mind-blowing. The beef was good - thin and fatty. The chicken katsu was a little dry. read more

Tried Kare for the first time this past week and enjoyed the food here! The spam katsu curry I was really excited to try as most katsu curry spots don't have it as an option. The spam katsu itself was good and flavorful but definitely saltier than most katsu (unsurprisingly given that it's spam). The chicken katsu is their most popular and was my preferred of the two dishes. The staff here was very nice and there is a lot of parking as the restaurant is located in Rodeo 39. read more

Had a meeting in the area. I know from past experience I cannot miss stopping by at Rodeo 39 with all the delicious options they have. I have bookmarked and wanting to try Karē so I was delighted to finally get to try it. I ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry which was a generous portion. The curry sauce was milder than what I've had at other places but still very good nevertheless. I also ordered a side of Shrimp Tempura, which came with 5 pieces. I'd have to say theirs was one of the best ones I've had. The shrimp was perfectly fried and had a light crunch. Even the tail which I love was perfect! I can't wait to try the Shrimp Curry next time. read more

I'm not sure if you're allowed to be on your phone while working, but she was. I feel so disgusted.

Kare Japanese curry located in the Rodeo 39 PM in Stanton is a great place to get your lunch or dinner on! Serving different types of meat with that hearty Japanese curry, you can be rest assured you'll get great food at a reasonable time! For our choices we had the chicken katsu and spam katsu with fried egg both so good! The curry is definitely generously plated but as a spam lover I think one more slice would have been perfect! We also got the shrimp tempura which both my kids love to eat! They do provide chili powder mix to adjust the spice level to your curry, which helps a lot because have different preferences one can't take spice at all and the other has been exploring and loving the kick! Definitely recommend if you are in the area and would like a meal that will for sure warm your hungry tummy! read more
