They even changed the order for my daughter's kids meal to have noodles substituted without any charge. My only complaint would be that I wished they advised us that with the party of 6 or more, that a tip was included already.

In the search of a new Friday date-night spot, my husband and I came across chubby curry on Yelp…read morerecommendations. We both have never tried Japanese style curry and the pictures looked absolutely delicious. Located in the busy downtown Covina area nightlife is loud and busy, in a good way! If you're looking to park near the restaurant, come with plenty of time as street parking, especially during the night is hard to come across. Although, they do have a parking structure that's just about a block away, which is not much of a walk! It's a very small restaurant with not much seating, but we didn't have to wait much on a Friday night-15 minutes max but they do have a Yelp sign up. If you know you're coming I recommend you do this. We were seated, and I should mention that the hospitality was amazing! My husband and I were well taken care of and all of our questions answered. Whenever we try a new spot that looks as good as this we try to get a little bit of everything. As you see from the pictures, we had lots to try from and I can safely say that I will be back to try a lot more! The food was super juicy, meats were tender, the sushi was delicious...... I left absolutely stuffed! My husband says this is easily one of his new favorite spots :)

Next is the ownership and hospitality, they accept phone orders and are always so welcoming to their Customers :) Everything is made fresh so expect to wait a little but it wont take that long. Lastly I want to shoutout the business name and how it actually ties to their menu (which is super easy btw). They have a wide variety of sauces, all are super good you cant go wrong and if you ever want to sample one theyll let you try them so you get what you want. Also sidenote they give out free miso soup when you get a plate which is nice for the stomach after a nice big meal. Keep it up guys, please dont franchise lol!!!

Restaurant is small, clean, and strictly fast food vibe. Service is friendly. Secret Sauce is a small eatery at upland specializes in Asian style pork katsu, bento style. I order build your own set with chicken katsu that comes with a small cup of miso soup, fruits, and salad. Good variety for bento. The new sample is spicy chicken katsu. Overall, my chicken katsu is a bit dry, that's why I take out one point. Size of dish is good. As for dipping sauces, I feel there are rooms to improve.

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.

I ordered a curry chicken cutlet and double matcha (pure matcha selection) and my order came out in less than 10 minutes. I must've gotten lucky to be the first one here because I noticed later customers receive their orders in 15-20 minutes. The curry chicken is very good for its value. $16 for generous amount of chicken and its thick and juicy. The curry was good flavor on the sweeter side and had a good amount of spice (my level of choice was 2). The double matcha was also very good, they use Marukyu Koyamaen Rindou and the matcha flavor was strong enough to my liking. The cream top was thicker than other places I've tried in the area and had good matcha flavor. For the double matcha I went with Pure Matcha which is matcha with water + matcha cream top. The ambiance inside is like a tea shop, cozy, lots of tables without feeling like a restaurant but rather like a place to study. They had calm music playing when I was here. The Air Conditioner was also on and it was very comfortable to sit inside. I'd definitely come back. I think it's good value, the workers are very nice and it's good to support family owned.

Feels like they shredded a whole cabbage onto my plate! Definitely appreciated it with the sauce too. The chicken was so crispy. The sauce it came with was perfectly sweet too. The rice was incredibly soft but I do wish there was just a little bit more of it. This plate also came with a cup of warm miso soup. An incredible amount of delicious food for around 20 bucks. Well worth it. The ordering process was really simple. They'll call your number over the loud speaker so you don't have to be near the restaurant and can wait at your table. Really impressed with the quality and portions sizes. I will definitely be coming back!

The prices are super reasonable, especially for the portion sizes. The servings are HUGE. I can never finish everything in one sitting, so it basically turns into two meals in one (which I'm not complaining about haha). Their katsu is always perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Service is also pretty fast compared to other restaurants in the area, which I really appreciate when the food court gets busy. As for the ambiance, it's a small counter located inside a busy food court, and there are usually limited of seats available depending on the day. We've never had trouble finding a place to sit though! Definitely a solid go-to spot when you're at H Mart and craving something satisfying and filling!

The portions of the soba are huge and the amount of different kinds of tempura is definitely filling (squid, shrimp, potato, carrot, cilantro). The sauce to dip the cold noodles in are perfectly balanced in flavor and comes with green onions and wasabi as an add on if you want! Atmosphere: cute place with very humble and on brand theme of ducks! They are all over the place even the restroom!

This is a well-deserved review update. I have revisited Kz…read moreMori (West Covina) over six times. It's not fine dining; rather, it's a guilty local pleasure. The food is hot, large, and satisfying. Today, I had a good experience at Kz Mori (West Covina). I ordered the Mix Katsu Combo ($19.99). It's pork katsu, chicken katsu, curry sauce, fresh & clean rice, salad, and miso soup. It's a lot of food. I arrived on Wednesday (around 8:10PM). Parking is easy on a late evening. Although the lot is typically competitive, there were not too many cars in this large lot this night. Customers can order at the self-service kiosk or the counter. Staff is friendly and pleasant. Staff hands an electronic pager which lights up when your food is ready. My meal took seven minutes and 32 seconds. As mentioned, I ordered the Mix Katsu Combo ($19.99). Quality is usually consistent, but it was a little burnt and dry this evening. Still, it tasted satisfying when slathered with its well-seasoned curry. Personally, I found a lot of enjoyment with the fresh steamed white rice. Still, it's a guilty pleasure that serves huge portions. Regarding ambiance, Kz Mori (West Covina) is located in the popular Haven City Market. There's plenty of indoor tables, and there's still many customers despite the late hours. I especially appreciated the flat screen TVs showing the basketball game. Overall, Kz Mori (West Covina) is a decent option when craving some crispy katsu and clean steamed rice. The portion is HUGE and its price is competitive. If nearby, it's a good option. 4.5 out of 5

Their tofu katsu caught my eye, as I rarely see plant based options for katsu! I ended up ordering the pork cutlet for myself. They give you a buzzer so you can walk around while you wait for your food. I didn't have to wait too long while browsing the other stalls and supermarket. I was surprised how large the portion size is, but I think it was perfect for the price. The cutlet was thin and evenly cooked. I've had much better katsu, this one felt a little dry, lacked rich flavor, and the breading was sparse and not crunchy at all. However, it was a very filling meal, and I definitely had leftovers. To be honest, I loved the sides more than the cutlet. The rice was fluffy and the cabbage salad was refreshing. I also got a simple miso soup.
