Finally a good curry place near me. Tanuki (raccoon dog) is a Japanese curry spot that recently…read moreopened. While curry is their specialty they have other items such as udon, teriyaki, and donburi bowls as well as a few typical appetizers such as tempura and karaage. The restaurant is not very big but has a fair amount of tables. Its style has a mix of modern and traditional Japanese elements with lofi music playing in the background. We were given a friendly welcome upon entering and the service was great. We started with the mixed tempura which was light and crispy - a perfect starter that won't fill you up. For dinner we tried the beef curry and chicken katsu curry. Both were delicious. I had the chicken katsu. I really liked the breading as it was light and crispy - not too thick or greasy. The sauce was also rich and flavorful. I made it a combo which includes miso soup and a salad of choice. I selected the cucumber salad which was a little sweet but refreshing with the meal. I hope to try their donburi next.

So stoked that there are more proper East Asian restaurants west of the 605 and south of the 91…read more My order was a chicken katsu curry takeaway. I called it in on a lazy Tuesday after hiking. Food didn't take that long but I like that there was a wait because I know it'll be freshly made. When I walked into the restaurant to pick up my order, inside was cozy and I noticed that it was pretty busy for a late Tuesday lunch. A really nice young woman who rang me up and handed me my bag of goods. When I got home, I was pleased to see that they had separated the Katsu from the curry sauce, so my meat didn't end up being soggy. Their curry sauce is different from most curry houses. There are some herbs in it that I can't put my finger on, but I love it because it's not like any of the others. Chicken was juicy and rice was fluffy. I also like their kizami ginger which had a nice solid crunch. Even though it took me a while to pick up my food, it was still nice and warm when I sat down to eat it. Very happy with the presentation and the flavour. We'll try to visit and eat at the restaurant next time. Parking lot is small and can get a little crowded with all the other businesses open. But there is also street parking available. Also, because it's a Japanese restaurant, they are not open on Mondays.

Katsu curry is such a comforting dish. Ever since Curry House closed all locations in the Greater…read moreLos Angeles, it's left a void for me and my friends because we were regulars at the Weller Court outpost... It was nice to finally try CoCo Ichibanya in Torrance. We were in the area after a long day and headed to check-in to a hotel nearby. We went to order take-out. Parking lot was packed with this and other busy businesses in the same plaza. Take-out orders are done via a tablet that's straight ahead when you walk in. I believe there's also a QR code that can be scanned that will take you to their app to do the same. Immediately to the right when you walk in is the waiting area. To the left is the host/check-in station. It was very busy on this Friday night. Many people waiting to be seated and just as many waiting for their take-out orders. We had to wait for at least 30-35 mins for ours. It felt like longer. I went with chicken katsu curry ($19.30) and added an extra chicken cutlet ($6.31). I was starved by this point in the night. It was good, it was a lot of food but it hit the spot. I just went mild with the curry and it was perfect for me. The extra chicken cutlet broke da mouth and I couldnt even finish all my rice. The pickled radish on the side is a nice palate change. The lady went with a chicken cutlet curry ($19.30) but added gyoza ($3.75 ea) + a vegetable croquette ($3.12). She liked her order but too much food for her to finish. The gyoza was good and the croquette was good size. The curry they use is tasty and it was exactly what we were looking for. Their to-go containers are clever, sectioned off and secure sealed plastic behemoths. It's solid and I hadnt seen one like it. It's deep to hold all the curry and rice. I'm a fan of how they did this. We liked Coco Ichibanya and would go back again whenever in the area. Staff was friendly. The wait was just waay too long that night. They have several tables and counter seating. They could probably fit some more smaller tables. There looked to be space in the middle of the dining area.

You order everything directly from the tablet at your table, which makes the ordering process pretty easy and convenient. My husband and I were both happy with the choices we made and would definitely get them again. There's also a good amount of seating inside, so we didn't have any trouble finding a table. Overall, we had a great experience and would come back to try more options!

I would be down to come back again. It did take some time to get the food out but wasn't too long of a wait. We did street parking.

They're located in a high foot traffic plaza, so finding a spot can be a hit or miss. Ambiance/Environment: They have a small indoor space with a decent amount of indoor seating. Very casual and chill. I visited on a weekday, so it wasn't too busy. Service: I was greeted right when I entered. She asked if I had any questions and offered help. There's two self ordering kiosks. You can also order takeout. Throughput took a little over 10 minutes. Food: I ordered the Rosemary Chicken Katsu Sando with baja chipotle sauce and waffle fries. Their sandos are my favorite menu items. Perfect for lunch. The chicken katsu was fried and seasoned deliciously. The bread was milky and light. The waffle fries tasted as expected. My only tip is try to eat the sandos asap. Otherwise the bread might get too soft. I really wanted the strawberry sandos for dessert, but they were out of stock that day. Highly recommend trying the sandos! Pricing: They have daily deals at an extremely affordable price. Honestly everything on their menu is worth its price. Will definitely be visiting this small chain again!
