This was probably the best curry spot I've had in a long time after. It is comparable to Curry House. The curry is a very deep and rich flavor. If you can handle spice, I loved the regular spice level, otherwise mild is there next level down and was perfect for my friends. Out of the hamburger, chicken katsu and the pork tenderloin katsu, I would have to go with the chicken. It was juice, tender and so delicious. The pork was a little bit more on the tougher side when compared to the chicken. But no matter which protein you go with, they were all delicious. A curry plate also comes with soup and salad. Both were served right away and very delicious. Despite how small the salad bowl was, they really stuffed it with salad. The server is nice and parking can get pretty crazy if you come during a rush. This is a great spot for a curry fix and would highly recommend. read more

Food, 5 stars. Service, 2. When my party was first seated we were asked for our drink order. We told the server we needed a little time and they rolled their eyes and walked away. Oookay. When they came back we all asked for water and we were told I had to get rid of my energy drink I had with me. I understand their policy is no outside drinks but it's not like the entire table had teas from another shop, it was one person with a small energy drink can. Really nitpicky and stupid to enforce but whatever. We ordered our meals and everything came out great, the food was really tasty and fresh. Zero complaints about anything we ate at all! The katsu were all fried perfectly, very juice and quality meat. The curry was just a touch spicy and very flavorful. I especially loved the fried tofu, the dashi was some of the best I've had. At the end of the meal we said we had a cake and were told if we wanted to eat it there (with our own plates, napkins and utensils that we brought) it would be a $20 charge. I've never been to a place, especially an Asian restaurant, that has such a crappy policy. We reluctantly paid it but won't be coming back. We celebrate every birthday in the family at restaurants and this is the first time we've ever had pushback over cake. read more

Such a yummy comfort meal! The hamburger steak was perfect and the curry was delicious. I can honestly drink a whole bucket of corn soup if they had one LOL. Service was quick, friendly, and the restaurant was clean. The food is so comforting, will definitely be back and will be one of my comfort restaurants during winter time for a nice warm curry! read more

Went to Midoh in Rowland Heights today after finding out Umi Buffet was closed due to a power outage. Since it was already in my bookmarks, I decided to give it a try. Ordered the tonkatsu loin, hamburg steak spicy curry rice, karaage, and takoyaki. Everything was delicious and extremely well‑flavored. A solid spot for comforting Japanese dishes. read more

Food was amazing, and the service was wonderful! It has the feel of a family-owned mom-and-pop shop, though I'm not entirely sure. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, which made the experience even better. I ordered the chicken katsu, and it was made with chicken breast. I actually prefer that because it fits my macros better, though it was a bit drier than it would be if it were made with dark meat (chicken thighs). That said, it was still delicious. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try the noodles--they looked absolutely exquisite! read more

Midoh Rowland Heights - Very bad experience! This is not acceptable at all! Can you believe there is a paper clip in my food ???! - Japanese Curry Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

This restaurant is located in a huge strip mall with a ton of food options and stores. Parking was hard to find at 2pm on a Saturday. Overall the food was good and I enjoyed the pork loin katsu with curry. The curry already came "spicy" which was nice. You also receive a soup and salad when you order the curry dish. I got corn soup and it was savory and creamy. I decided to order a Vietnamese coffee here but it just tasted like instant coffee. The service was a little slower but the food quality was good enough to overlook that. read more

I've been here several times now, and each visit was excellent. There was a wait for tables accommodating a party of three on a Sunday morning, but we decided to eat at the bar. This time, I tried the omurice, which is egg-wrapped, curry-flavored rice and chicken with your choice of sauce. I chose their curry, which I've always enjoyed. This also came with your choice of corn or miso soup and a salad. I also ordered a side topping of sautéed chicken as I was especially hungry that morning. The omelet wrapping the rice was nicely fluffy with a deliciously subtle blend of savory and sweet flavors. I enjoyed the diverse spices from the curry-flavored rice. With small chunks of chicken, the dish was slightly more filling. I wish there was just a little more curry portioned out. The sautéed chicken on the side was delicious and reminded me of times I enjoyed pan-fried steak dishes from Hong Kong cafes. Interestingly, the omurice came with seasoned fries and steamed carrots and green beans a slight touch of American cuisine). Overall, it was delicious combining all the flavors from the curry, rice, omelet, and sautéed chicken into one bite. Service was good. All our dishes had a nice and careful presentation. Our server also refilled my water without me asking. However, the restaurant can get loud due to the small interior. As usual, parking was in high demand, but we found a spot close to the north exit. There was a crowd of people standing near the entrance, so I thought we were in for a long wait. However, they were thankfully waiting for another restaurant nearby. read more

This place was pretty good. I'm a big fan of the corn soup, super creamy and you already know I'm on the cream team. The salad dressing is good too, and they sell it on the side. The curry itself is good too, flavorful with a nice kick. Not a super big fan of the pork katsu. Got the loin but was still kinda lean and tough to eat. Also the breading falls off really easily. Stick to the chicken, really juicy and tender despite being white meat. A nice little family vibe in a plaza filled corporate Chinese mumbo jumbo restaurants. read more

I have been eating here for many years., same day same time waiting. The beef dish here is delicious.

I've come here twice with my coworkers because we love this place so much! Located in a busy plaza with restaurants like Chubby Cattle and New Capital Seafood, parking can definitely be a hassle. The waiters are all really kind but this place definitely gets busy. Thankfully they were able to accommodate a group of 9 of us on a Thursday afternoon. I've tried two things since I've been here. 1) Nabeyaki Udon: 5/10 While the udon was delicious and soft, the rest of the dish was alright. Filled with typical things like shrimp tempura, egg, and fish cake, it wasn't anything extraordinary. 2) Curry with Hamburg steak: 6/10 I can see the hype about this curry. It was a tad spicy for me but it was packed with so much flavor. The curry was super filling but the Hamburg steak wasn't as soft as I would have liked. Tasted better than a regular beef patty you can get at In N out but I had expected to be more juicy and tender. After halfway, the curry was starting to feel overwhelming because of how thick it was, plus the addition of white rice. I also appreciated how this meal came with corn soup so pretty good for the price. I would visit again and try some other things on their menu. read more

Midoh Rowland Heights - Curry with Hamburg Steak - Japanese Curry Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

For those who are familiar with Bishamon In the old town Covina, Midoh is the recent iteration for the Bishamon Group that also owns the more renowned Daikokuya Ramen. Midoh's menu selection is geared to a more modern take on Japanese street food. The one thing that sold us to try this location is the pet-friendly outside dining. Although limited in seating, it accommodated a family of six with our two babies. They offered water for them which was specially endearing. Also, the attentive service given by Joana all the more gave it a pleasant experience. All the fried foods we ordered were exceptionally crispy, not greasy, & yet kept the inside moist & tender. The white fish meuniere had a wonderful eggy sauce not a common combination found in other Japanese restaurants. And the best highlight is the Hamburg (hambaga in Japanese) steak with a rich demiglace was ,something we have not had before, was savory. Will be back to try their other offerings. read more

A must-order here is the chicken katsu curry and the hamburger steak with demi-glace sauce. Both dishes come with miso soup and a side salad. The chicken katsu was crispy on the outside and tender inside, while the curry had a rich spicy flavor. The hamburger steak was juicy, and the demi-glace sauce paired perfectly with it. Great spot for a hearty Japanese comfort meal. read more

Midoh Rowland Heights - Japanese Curry Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

I'm so glad I braved the Yes plaza traffic to finally eat at Midoh. The inside is really cozy with no frills. We started with the chicken karaage ($8.50 for 4 pcs) which were much more impressive than I had anticipated. First, the pieces of chicken are pretty substantial in size. And second, the batter is so light and airy. It's the perfect way to start the meal. For my entree, I chose the curry udon ($16.50) with chicken. I sometimes find the curry soup to be too thick for my liking, but the curry soup here is more broth like. It was nice and soupy and didn't thicken over the course of my meal. Delish. We also ordered the tonkatsu loin ($8.50) with the plain curry ($12.50. Don't let the "plain" descriptor fool you - the curry had a nice kick. The tonkatsu loin was the perfect accompaniment to the curry - the meat was moist, tender and hearty. I really love and appreciate that the curry is ordered separate - they give you a plate full which ensures that you have enough curry for all your dipping needs. Then your chosen katsu is served on the side, preventing it from getting soggy. Genius really. Judging from other tables - ordering katsu is the way to go. Everyone had a big plate of katsu something or another. Service was top tier. Overall, I had a really nice weeknight dining experience at Midoh. read more

3.5 stars Our party of 5 came to Midoh right upon opening on a Sunday at 11:30am. We were one of the first and opted to sit outside (covered and shaded). Enjoyed the nice breeze outside but it felt like we were slightly forgotten about as we waited for someone to come take our order - eventually flagged someone down. Ordered several different menu items to try family style: French Fries ($6), Tonkatsu Loin + Fillet ($23), Chicken Katsu ($18), Nabeyaki Udon with Chicken ($18), and Carbonara Udon ($18). Some of the meals came with options of corn or miso soup. The French fries in the pictures were wedges but they came out to be standard sized which I enjoyed more - nice and crispy served with a side of ketchup. We enjoyed the chicken katsu over pork katsu as it was more tender and juicy. The carbonara was deliciously creamy and had chunks of bacon. The nabeyaki udon was a disappointment - soup lacked flavor and the dish was subpar, would skip on this next time. Overall, not a bad place if you're craving Japanese food / katsu. Located in the Diamond Plaza so parking is absolutely horrible during weekend peak hours (parking spots are also compact). There is an underground lot as well. read more

I love Midoh, it's a little restaurant in the back corner of Diamond Plaza that we stumbled on by chance, looking to try something new. Now it's one of my favorite spots for carbonara, the rarest time I will order udon as my primary entree as they make it from scratch and super tasty! My husband has tried many dishes here from curry to their white fish meuniere. They also had these soft cookie ice cream treats- they were so good and came in matcha tiramisu, original and chestnut (original was my favorite, simple and delicious. I also really like their corn soup (which is blended to a smooth consistency) and served in a cup to drink/sip. And their salad dressing.. I could drink (not really), but they even have this available for sale if you want to take some home and need some encouragement to eat salad--it is tangy and flavorful. The staff here is always friendly and always a pleasure to deal with. read more

Came here with my husband on a Saturday night and the place was a full house. We tried the curry with a side of the pork loin (our favorite), mentai udon, and the seafood doria.

Also, if you take their survey, you can get a free soft drink. read more

If you're a fan of hearty, comforting Japanese dishes, Midoh (in the heart of Diamond Plaza) will hit the spot. We ordered the following dishes: Curry Udon: The udon noodles are perfectly chewy and were swimming in a rich, velvety curry broth. I asked for additional Shichimi on the side to spice it up. The balance of flavors is spot-on, and the portion size is generous (I was concerned that it wouldn't be fulfilling but it also came with a side of salad). I was hoping for an onsen egg, but the egg was very thoroughly hard boiled. Despite that, this was a great dish! Curry Rice with Hamburg Steak: The hamburg steak was tender and juicy, drizzled in a savory curry sauce. The rice underneath soaked up all the flavor and the pickled ginger was a nice complement. We also ordered a side of naan flatbread to sop up that delicious curry sauce. Side Salad with Special Midoh Dressing: I was pleasantly surprised by how good the salad was. The dressing was light but flavorful...perfectly tangy and zesty. It was a very refreshing start to the meal and I liked it so much I ordered a bottle to-go so I can finally eat my greens enthusiastically. Creamy Corn Soup: This was a very pretty dish! It was silky smooth, creamy, and very corn forward. This came with our order of the curry rice/hamburg steak. Bouchee Chestnut Cream: To finish off the meal, we ordered the chestnut cream. It was admittedly very small ($3) and hadn't thawed completely yet. I don't know if it quite had freezer burn, but the thing was a block of ice...When it finally did melt in my mouth, the chestnut flavor was very enjoyable. Ambiance: The servers were very attentive and were quick to help us. We went on a random Thursday evening during dinner and there weren't many people in the restaurant. Overall, Midoh had great food that makes you want to come back again. I can't wait to explore more of their menu next time. If you're in the area, make sure you stop by! read more

The katsu was fried just right with tender chicken inside. The portion is still very good as I had leftovers. read more

Midoh Rowland Heights - Japanese Curry Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

We came here a couple times to support Japanese owned Japanese restaurants because of how rare it is. Unfortunately the food quality isn't great and the fry techniques here leave the food looking and tasting quite bland. The first time we ordered katsu and Hamburg. The second time we ordered nabeyaki and katsu. The chicken in the udon was raw in some areas so I stopped eating it. Orders kaarage but it felt like it was frozen and reheated. Didn't taste right. We can't return for these reasons. The prices and the risk are too high. We can't trust a restaurant that would undercook poultry. read more

Saw this place on TikTok and decided to try it out with a friend. Food and service was good; corn soup was a recommendation- I liked it, it was creamy and flavorful.

5/1/2025 2 1/2 Stars Second time at Midoh. It's been a really long time since I've last been here. Ordered the Tonkatsu Loin with Fried Shrimp (2 pieces). It comes with cabbage salad, potato salad, tonkatsu sauce and a small dab of hot yellow mustard. Ordered a demi-glace sauce on the side for $1.50. I was craving my usual donkatsu with demi-glace sauce, so ordered thinking it would be a pretty good meal. Boy, was I wrong! Some parts of the donkatsu was a bit tough and chewy. However, donkatsu was crispy, not completely dry either, thankfully. The fried shrimp was crispy and delicious and much better overall in comparison to the donkatsu. The donkatsu sauce came with white sesame seeds with a small mortar and pestle, where you can grind up the seeds to bring out that lovely nutty flavor. The donkatsu sauce was far better than the small side of so-called-demi-glace sauce. The demi-glace was NOT a demi-glace! It's a simple pan-dripping sauce. But a weak one at that. It was a buttery sauce and it didn't taste bad, But it was NOT a demi-glace sauce! Customer Service was good. There were two servers who were friendly and quick in taking your orders. They did not come during the meal, but they were on standby; making sure that every customer was taken care of. Ate indoors. The restaurant is small. There were about 5 tables indoors that would seat 3-4 people. There were bar seats on the side. There are also tables on the patio as well. Overall service was great, but food was just okay. Probably won't be back unless I'm in area, but most likely will not return anytime soon. read more

If you've been to this plaza you know how busy it is during dinner rush. Parking lot wasn't too packed on a Friday around 6pm. Spicy Curry -not much of a kick but quite flavorful. Ordered it with a Tonkatsu Loin on the side, it's a little on the fatty side but very juicy and tender. Nabeyaki Udon (Chicken)- came out scorching hot, which I prefer anyways. Chicken was a little dry, they use chicken breast. Broth was light, refreshing and a little sweet. Katsu Sandwich (Chicken)- chicken was so juicy and tender. They torch the sandwich a bit which adds tons of smokey flavor. Bread itself is light, fluffy and very soft. read more

First time ever at a Midoh, ordered mild spicy curry with tonkatsu loin topping and miso soup and salad as sides. Pretty decent Japanese food in general. Tonkatsu was crispy, not greasy, and went well with that potent curry, which was quite spicy for being mild. The portion of that strongly seasoned curry was very generous, so I saved the leftovers to eat with rice at home. The tasty fried chicken appetizer was meaty and served with a mayo dipping sauce. I can never pass up the opportunity to try deep fried chicken apps no matter how basic or simple they seem, and this one didn't disappoint. Inside of the restaurant is smaller than I had expected, but there are plenty of tables. Simple, cozy, casual atmosphere. They did seem understaffed, but they were trying to be as attentive as possible. We waited quite a bit to get everyone's orders even when it wasn't busy in the late afternoon, but the meals were very comforting, so it's worth the wait and the crowded parking in hectic Diamond Plaza. I'd like to come back to try an udon or a signature dish. read more

One of the authentic Japanese comfort food that was both effortless and delectable. I am glad that most of their meals are accompanied by a salad and a choice of Miso or Corn soup. Although we tried several options, we regretfully missed the Chicken Nanban, one of their top 5 dishes. Here are a few of the dishes we sampled tonight: - Chicken Katsu - Spicy Chicken Katsu Curry Rice - Hamburg Steak - White Fish Meuniere - served with rich butter and clam bouillon cream sauce - Menchi Katsu appetizer read more

Midoh Kitchen has been consistently good every time I've visited. Food portions and quality of the food are great. Pricing is still very fair even in this economy. Service has always been friendly and attentive. It's a simple, no fuss restaurant with a small outdoor patio seating. It's located in the Diamond Plaza, all the way towards the back, right by Chubby Cattle. Parking in the lot can be difficult to find depending on how busy the plaza is. Weekends are busier than weekdays. I've always been seated immediately each time I've been for lunch. read more

Yoshoku Cafe a Rowland Heights Mainstay Where the food scene is dominated by so many options for Chinese cuisine, the Rowland Heights location of this Japanese yoshoku. In cozy strip mall cafe, West meets east and offers happy stomachs at an affordable price. Walking for a late lunch on a Friday afternoon, there were plenty of tables, and the friendly service as quick and attentive. And what did we have? Chicken Nanban. An old recipe influenced by the Portuguese, this chicken comes in as a set order with great value for the money. The chicken is generously portioned in one piece, which you have to cut up with the provided knife. However, this is not a real issue because the meat comes super juicy and full of rich, fatty flavor wile also nicely battered in the soft nanban style. Combined with the cold, tangy tartar sauce that's already slathered on top and the sweet and salty soy-based dipping sauce, and each bite is a winsome team of deliciousness that will the tastebuds occupied throughout the meal. Combining them together is the key for maximum flavor change up. The plate comes with the perfect pairing of rice, cabbage salad (for the light sourness with sweet as a refresher), and the creaminess of Japanese potato salad (cold and also refreshing for the palate), and you can get why this dish is so popular. Definite recommend! Corn soup. Comes with the meal. A touch on the watery side but a yoshoku staple, it's basically a cream of corn soup with no bits of corn in it. Comes hot and creamy was an app as part of the chicken nanban set. Always warms yoi up with some cozy before the entree comes. Recommend always. A solid Japanese sit down resto overall, the menu is a good size and will keep you interested to try some new stuff each time you come -- while also coming back for mainstays like the nanban. But don't take my word for it: Give it a go and tell me I'm wrong. read more

Midoh Rowland Heights - Chicken Katsu Meal - Japanese Curry Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

We tried Miso in Rowland Heights and had a mixed experience. The tonkatsu loin was tasty and tender, and I really liked the touch of grinding fresh sesame seeds into the sauce. I ordered the chicken udon, which was okay -- lots of noodles but I wished it had a bit more chicken. For the kids meal, the presentation was really cute and the hamburger steak was juicy, but some of the other items were a little heavy on the salt and the fries and tempura shrimp were cooked a bit more than I prefer. The omurice egg was very thin, but still fun for kids. Overall, it was a nice place to try, especially since we mainly came for my son, but I don't think it'll be a regular spot for us. read more

A friend wanted some udon, and this place thankfully provided. A small little place, affiliated under the Daikokuya restaurants, tucked in the back corner of the Diamond Plaza. Parking can be difficult when arriving during dinner or the weekend, so be prepared to spend some time driving around. Staff were all very welcoming and attentive. Seated and orders taken very promptly. I opted for their Spicy Curry with Tonkatsu Loin add-on, while friend opted for their Curry Udon. Food was not bad. Curry Udon was hefty and slightly sweet. The, Spicy Curry, on the other hand, could have been alot spicier and the tonkatsu was slightly overcooked. Overall, nice little place to grab a quick Japanese meal but do not expect mindblowing flavors or quality. read more

The food was so good I forgot to take pictures of my main dishes! It's a local curry spot I frequent though so will make up for it another time! I love Midoh because of how authentic the food is. Their curry is to die for and their katsu is always the best of the best. Juicy and tender but still crispy!! I usually opt for the pork tenderloin, but the chicken is great as well and compliments the curry amazingly. Don't sleep on their udon pastas, because they are amazing as well. I usually opt for the carbonara, which is creamy and full of rich cream flavor. The curry and the udon come with a soup and salad, and their salad dressing is something I dream about (and can be purchased separately to go.) Green tea has free refills, so don't lose out on that. It's a small shop that usually isn't too busy. Usually has 2 people working the front and a cook in the back. Parking isn't too bad, but can get busy when Chubby Cattle is open next door. read more

Over 10 years later and happy to see this restaurant still here and even busier than before. I came on a Friday evening and there was a short wait for a party of 2. Service was great and food was amazing. Hamburg curry - reminded me of Japan. I do wish the curry was a little spicier but it hit the spot. Added eggplant and green beans to it as well and they also have a lot of other toppings to choose from. Tonkatsu side - crust was crispy, but I felt some sides were a little too thick. Meat was juicy and tender. I was surprised and would get this again. Basil Udon - basil sauce was exactly what I imagined it to taste like and it was so good! I just couldn't finish all of it because there was too much sauce and not enough tomato sauce to balance the flavors. read more
