Top tier katsu curry. They make the curry using beef as the base and it's got lil pieces of meat which is my favorite part. I'm also a fan of the fact that they use chicken breast for their katsu, so you don't get the weird fatty parts with thighs. Restaurant was clean when I went and service was super helpful. Only thing that sucks is parking if you ask me.
We had a big craving for Japanese curry, so we decided to stop by. The ambience and setting is causal. It just feels like a local spot that's easy to drop in. We ordered katsu curry in both the chicken and pork varieties and the karaage. The curry was flavorful and familiar. I like chicken better because the pork was a bit tough for me. The karaage was good but I wouldn't necessarily order it again. If you're in the neighborhood and craving for some comfort food, it's definitely worth a try!
When I heard about Nippon Curry for the very first time, I knew it was just a matter of "when", not "if", I'd eventually make my way here. Any spot that specializes in Japanese curry will pique my curiosity, but it was especially true in this case. However, between how long the line was and how uneven some of their early reviews were, I figured I'd just wait until some of the buzz had died down (plus, I still wasn't eating out much at the time anyways). Fast forward and I'm so glad to have finally made my way here! Even despite how the food didn't quite live up to what I had hoped for... While Nippon Curry is the name they go by now, this place originally bore the same name as the popular Hinoya Curry chain in Japan. Not sure why it changed (perhaps due to SF's restrictions on chains?), but, regardless of the reason, the most important thing is that Hinoya's curry is still what's being served. Which is no small detail considering how almost the entire menu is made up of curry rice plates and whatever fried goodies and sides/toppings you want to add to your dish. Kind of limited to a certain degree, but, even though if it's far from a guarantee, it's usually a good sign when a place focuses and specializes so heavily on just one thing! -- CHICKEN KATSU CURRY RICE PLATE with AJI FISH FRY (+$4)...$17 I was most hopeful for these and they were great! The Chicken Katsu was juicy and relatively crispy while the curry had a nice beefiness. I also enjoyed the Aji Fish Fry, but, at $4 for one piece, it felt a little light for the money, even if the overall portion size wasn't terrible. -- TONKATSU CURRY RICE PLATE with EBI FRY PRAWN (+$3)...$17 Comparatively, this was a little underwhelming. Although the pork was decently moist, the cutlet seemed smaller and didn't seem as flavorful as the Chicken Katsu. Thankfully, the curry was just as good, but the Ebi Fry Prawn was terrible - small and tasteless. Beyond the food, I appreciate how friendly the workers were, but one fellow, in particular, could probably use some additional training. Not that it was a big deal, but, the first time I was here, he tried to clear my friend's plate while he was still eating (to be fair, he had just one or two bites left). The second time, though, we saw the same guy cleaning tables by picking up grains of rice with one hand and then using the other to wipe the table. No gloves, no towel - just his bare hand. I don't typically do it anyways, but it's safe to say we didn't eat any of the food that fell off our plates onto the table. All told, despite how Nippon Curry didn't quite live up to the hype and my high hopes for them, I'd be lying if I said they entirely missed the mark either. Aside from that one worker, everything else about my visits has been decent enough and they're a decent option for the area (I don't usually associate Japanese curry with the Marina). While I certainly wouldn't make a point of driving out here again (I'd rather head to Curry Hyuga in Burlingame), I wouldn't be staunchly opposed to coming back if I was already out here. THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded down.
Came here as a reward after finishing a 2 hour walk and the pork katsu curry absolutely hit! The katsu itself was crispy on the outside and tender in the inside. I felt like the breading was just enough and I liked how it didn't become soggy by the end of the meal. The curry sauce had just the right kick and umami, and I think it had some braised pork too! The rice was slightly firm, just the way it should be. I also liked the pickled veggies on the side. I cleared that plate!! You order up front and grab any table that's available. Service was great!
My fav casual Japanese curry place that hits my curry craving. It's a more casual establishment, where you order and find an open table to eat at. I like their tonkatsu curry the most, but the meat can be a little dry. Whenever I'm in there area after a workout class, I like to come here for a hearty meal!
Came here for a late Sunday afternoon lunch and there was plenty of seating. We ordered the pork katsu curry, Kani cream Croquette curry, and a side of Ebi Fry. Each curry came with a side of Fukujinzuke and 1 pickled pearl onion. The katsu was nice and crunchy and pork was good. The kani cream Croquette had a crunchy later with a creamy oozy filling that went well with the curry. The curry and rice is perfect. I kind of wish you can order it spicy though but there are chilli flakes you can add on the side. The curry itself is not spicy at all. The portions aren't too big so it was a light lunch. Overall very tasty curry.
Yummy curry! The place is super clean, ample of seating space. Weekend lunch was great, order, sat down, and order came in less than 15 minutes. Order a pork katsu curry ($17 w/out tip and tax). The curry portion was plenty for 2 people to share. The katsu was super crunchy, tender pork as well. Curry was a thick layer filled with great flavor, good spice ratio of cumin, turmeric, coriander, ginger, and I think pepper. To add some spice, near the water area are spice powder and crunchy bits. In addition to the curry plates, there is sandos, croquettes, and tempura items. Overall, solid option for food in the Marina.
Favorite Kyoto style curry in the city, without question. Fast (as it should be, sub-five minutes), comforting, savory, umami-rich stews, equally filling portions of our usual pork or chicken katsu on top (love that their take out containers are custom designed to elevate the katsu above the stew but also allow steam to emanate upwards, genius) and spot-on rice both in terms of flavor and consistency. Love the side dish croquettes especially potato and oyster. Usually order an extra side of pickled bits and bobs. PS thank you for saving us during the Great PG&E Substation Fire Blackout of '25 and a) having power, b) double orders of katsu and croquettes that got us through that first night (new addition and all), and c) making a very memorable one month birthday dinner for us by candlelight.
Nippon Curry dam straight! I haven't had curry this good since I was in Japan! I seriously like this place. I was hesitant to try with a cheesey name like this, but trust me it's solid! I got the pork katsu and usually it's pretty chewy, thick to bite into, and not a strong flavor. But with my first bite of it here, it was like BAM! Solid buttery curry flavors all around. And the pork katsu was cooked to perfection. Very light and crispy, I couldn't believe I was eating a pork katsu! I need a Nippon Curry in the East Bay!!
Ordered Delivery for lunch. Noticed they a lunch item I had never seen before called Popeye curry with pork and spinach. I've had Nippon a number of times and it's probably my favorite Japanese curry spot in the city so I already knew the pork Katsu and curry would be great, but I love the addition of the spinach for the added veggies. The delivery came package separately. In the main bowl vessel was the curry itself, topped with spinach, and then in a separate divider was the Katsu and the pickled veggie. I appreciate this as it prevents the crispy Katsu from getting soggy. The Katsu meat was juicy and textually, perfect especially for a delivery order. The curry was packed with flavor and included elements of heat and sweetness. The whole dish makes for a very filling and comforting lunch.
I came to Nippon Curry to grab dinner after a work meeting. I love Japanese curry, and I wanted to try a place with it while I was in the city for work. The space itself is in the Marina and is very popular. It took a while to order because they were dealing with TONS of orders, mostly online from what I could tell. It took me ~10-20 minutes to order and get my food for dining in...I didn't really mind but just an FYI if you plan on eating in person. I ordered the spinach and cheese curry from their veggie menu. It was delicious -- no notes. The cheese added a lot of richness to curry that I wasn't expecting (and I prob wouldn't order it again because it was maybe too decadent) but man was it good. Maybe some of the best curry I've had in the bay. Go here!!
Heard really great things about Nippon Curry but ended up feeling meh about it, especially since we drove here from San Jose. I think it's because I've had better in the South Bay. 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. read more

Fantastic and authentic curry katsu in the Marina. I will go out of my way to venture here for the delicious food. Service is generally pretty quick too. The restaurant itself usually plays some Japanese pop and is comfortable, seating is usually plenty. Definitely a great spot. read more

Stopped by Nippon Curry SF for a quick dinner with friends recently and it was a pretty good experience. The restaurant is centrally located and there's a cashier/ordering counter to the left side once you walk in. The menu is displayed right next to the cashier, and you can choose from multiple entrees and appetizers. I opted to order the chicken katsu curry plate and requested the curry on the side, since I was a bit nervous about the flavor and level of spice. Customer service was friendly and efficient, and we received our dishes pretty quickly. The restaurant wasn't too busy when we went and they had several open tables with seating. I enjoyed my dish overall, the chicken wasn't dry and the breading was adequate and crispy. I used the curry sauce for dipping and thought the flavor was good. The curry itself had a little kick to it, but I still liked the flavor. Pricing for each dish was a bit higher than expected, especially for the fried clam version, which seemed to be a less preferred option. Parking can be limited as the restaurant is in the Marina, but there are a few parking structures within walking distance. Overall, a solid spot for Japanese curry and may be a worthwhile spot if you're wanting comfort food. read more

I was really pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed Nippon Curry! As a Curry Hyuga stan, I think this one matches inch for inch the quality of curry, with a good serving size and a bit more of a spacious inside. I really thought the katsu meat was quite tender with a good crisp, and I love the pickled veggies and corn it comes with. It didn't feel that heavy and oily. You order at the counter and there was a quick wait when I was there on a weekend evening. Would love to come back. read more

I remember coming to this spot when it was a previous curry restaurant but Nippon Curry also offers very similar Japanese curry which hit the spot. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Our food came pretty quickly within 5-10 minutes of sitting down. You can order sides or extras along with your entree dish which include potato croquette or extra meat. I ordered the pork katsu curry ($17) which came covered with curry sauce and a lot of meat, so overall pretty good portion of food for the amount you pay. The curry flavor was great with a hint of spice, and the meat was very tender. Overall a solid spot for Japanese curry and if you need a quick bite to eat or a takeout option. Parking can be a little tough around the Marina district but there's some streets with ample parking spots a couple blocks away from the restaurant. read more
it wasn't too busy on a wednesday night, but a lot of people just came in to pick up their online orders or take out their food. I ordered up front and they called my name later to pick up my tray, although I saw another table had their food brought to them by a server. the food came out so quick so that was great. I ordered the pork katsu curry ($17) and topped it off with the tempura crunch and chilli powder at the self-serve stations. the curry was pretty decent as it wasn't too sweet. I think the curry could be spicier, but I get that some may not want that. the pork's exterior was nice and crispy, but the interior was a bit tough. overall the portion was sizable but I'm not sure if $17 is justified read more

We came here after a long run around SF, and the Katsu curry rice here was exactly what we needed for refilling. I got the chicken katsu and it was crispy and juicy. The beef curry was slightly on the sweet side, but not too thick or overwhelming. The restaurant had plenty of seating, and the owner was nice enough to let us temporarily charge our phones. read more
Recently tried the chicken cutlet curry and it was so delicious! The portions were big, the chicken was perfectly crunchy, and my favorite part, the onions which added the best flavor and texture. Definitely coming back! read more
Really good Japanese curry and katsu!! Their curry has a different taste than other places I've tried, and it's very pleasant. It isn't too salty and doesn't leave your mouth feeling too dry. Katsu is well fried and tender. 5/5, would go again for curry read more
This place has good curry flavor, but terrible customer service that actually made me lose my appetite. We ordered the potato croquettes and received the wrong kind (pumpkin). When we pointed out the error, the worker did not apologize at all and said we ordered it wrong. I wouldn't have minded receiving the wrong order if she was at least apologetic. All over a $5 order! I rarely complain about errors so to be treated so poorly was so disheartening. Will definitely not be coming back - shame since the curry was decent. read more

This little restaurant in the Marina is one of my go-tos on a rainy day. They do an amazing Japanese beef curry over rice and your choice of crispy katsu. I'm a huge fan of getting the pork or chicken katsu beef curry with veggies. They have a bunch of good sides too. Really crispy potato croquettes that hit the spot every time. Service is always great, cashiers are super friendly. Easy to order online and always on time. If you're dining in it's usually not packed and you can have a relaxing meal. read more

Food is consistently good and heartwarming. I live in this neighborhood and would come here whenever i needed a pick me up. My favorite is the pork katsu. It's on the thinner side and sometimes a little overcooked hence the 4* but usually just excellent. Lots of big tables, easy to seat groups big or small. Also good for eating alone. Staff is friendly, place is clean and good comes out promptly. read more
Plenty of seating for 4 around noon on a Saturday! Great vibes for a casual afternoon lunch. The staff is very nice and the food comes out quick. I would go again for the katsu curry, which was well spiced and had a nice consistency. Try out the pickled onions, they're free and quite tasty :) read more
I was nearby at Fort Mason for the San Francisco Marathon race expo, so I came here for lunch. I was there before noon, so there weren't too many customers yet. I placed my order for a chicken katsu curry at the counter before finding an open table. Once my food was ready, one of the employees brought the food to me. They had a self-serve dispenser at the counter for iced water. The curry came with fukujinzuke (radish) and rakkyo (pickled scallion). The food tasted great. The only minor compliant was that they used white breast meat so it was a bit dry. It was a good find for some good Japanese curry! I will definitely be back if I'm in the area again. read more

I've been searching for a truly authentic Japanese curry spot in SF, and I think I've finally found my place. I came in on a whim, craving some delicious comfort food, and Nippon Curry delivered in every way possible. I got the pork curry with a side of their korokke (Japanese potato croquette). The curry itself was perfection--rich, savory, with a wonderful depth of flavor and just the right thickness. It coated the rice beautifully. The korokke was a showstopper: perfectly crispy and golden on the outside, with a fluffy, creamy potato filling. What really seals the deal are the details. The bright red fukujinzuke and the single pickled rakkyo on the side of the plate provided that classic, tangy crunch that cuts through the richness of the curry so well. I washed it all down with a Moshi Yuzu drink, which was a fantastic pairing. Left feeling so incredibly happy and satisfied. This is the real deal, and I can't wait to come back. Five stars, without a doubt! read more

Casual katsu restaurant in the Marina, on the slightly pricier side. The highlight is definitely the curry itself! The curry flavor is on point. The pork katsu is also perfectly fried and crispy. We also tried the crab cream croquettes, which wasn't my cup on tea (a little too heavy). Staff were super nice and the store was quiet and clean. Nice lunch spot! read more

Dear Andrea, thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon!
Came here on a Saturday evening with a group of 4. You order at the counter and then grab a seat. There were a few other groups seated at the time, but we didn't have to wait for a table. I got the karaage curry. They were generous with the sauce and it also came with pickles. The chicken was fried nicely and the batter wasn't too thick. We also got sake for the table. Would come back if I was in the area! read more

Dear Tsu-Li, thank you for your awesome review! Hope to see you again!
My friend was raving about this place so she took me to try and it has become one of my fave places for Japanese Curry! Parking is limited but there are plenty of seats. It's pay first and then it's served to you. It was a quick turn around time. I ordered the Pork Katsu curry and decided to add on veggies and one shrimp tempura. The katsu was spot on with the crispiness. It was also already cut into bite sized pieces too. The curry was so flavorful I made sure to scoop up every last drop of sauce onto the katsu! Veggies were such a good touch and loved dipping it into the curry. The pork itself was very tender and juicy! Just thinking about it makes me want to come back already! read more

Super duper tasty !!! The curry was so flavorful, not spicy so everybody can eat it comfortably. Katsu perfectly fried & has great crunch. Thankfully service was fast coz we were starving. They provide several seatings that can fit enough people inside without it being too tight. We'll definitely come back to try their other items on the menu ! read more

Ask the Community - Nippon Curry San Francisco
No cabbage? Like other Japanese curry places?
No Cabbage is only for Katsu plates.
Can the vegetarian curry be made without onion and garlic?
Thank you for asking, but, I’m afraid that our vegetarian curry just wouldn’t have the same punch without onions and garlic.
Do you deliver to the office?
Sorry for the late reply. We don't have the ability to deliver, but third-party apps, such as DoorDash and Uber Eats provide delivery services. Thank you.
Hello, is there outdoor seating available as of June 2023?
Hi Debbie, yes, we have 3 tables and 8 uncovered seats outside on the sidewalk in front of our shop. Dogs are not allowed inside the dining area, but may be accommodated at the outdoor tables. Thank you.
Are any of the curries gluten free?
Hi Samira, thank you for your question. Both our beef and vegetarian curries contain gluten.
Are the curries vegan? Or does the broth contain meat? Thank you!
They have a separate vegan curry as well.
Do you not take orders from DoorDash? I see you listed, but my order keeps getting cancelled.
We are very sorry about that. We had some issues with DoorDash when we started with them.
If I have a shellfish allergy, is it safe to eat at your restaurant?
Hi KW, our curry and white rice do not contain any shellfish. We do serve fried prawns, fried oysters and crab cream croquettes, and our other proteins like pork and chicken are also fried in the same fryer, so there may be traces of shellfish in…Â
