Writing this review is actually making me crave them even more! Their service is quick, they're friendly, the ambiance here is great. It's relatively small so just heads up if you're bringing a big group. One thing to keep in mind by the way is there's no signal in there. I have Verizon so keep that into account.

There's a sign to show you how to order where you grab a tray and choose your options while you go down the line. I came in for an earlier ramen lunch and ended up wanting to get all their appetizers. There's a variety of apps but I wasn't too hungry so I ordered mini sesame balls for the table ( 3 for $1!!!) and octopus ball/sesame balls to go. At the end, I also got the homemade sauce just to try bc it was packed in a glass mason jar and relatively affordable. For food, I got tonkotsu ramen and the broth was good. I think it was missing the condiments and some umami flavoring. I'm not sure. It was 3.5 imo. The sesame balls were good and so was the octopus ball. The salmon looked plentiful and came with lots of sides but I'm not sure how it tasted bc I didn't order. All the dishes were cleared out though so I'd say it was a successful lunch trip. They have a long fish display in the front and plenty of seating too! Reminds me to go back to Japan soooon.

My food was still warm when I got home!!! Shocker! My go to is their ramen! I like the spice to it and they give it to you with a small bowl! My partner got their lion roll which was delicious !!! Forgot the name of the other roll. Service was great as always, the staff has always been friendly and accommodating when we go. The inside renovation is nice! Feels super upscale but prices have remained consistent which is a bonus. If you haven't gone here you should!

The menu is displayed clearly on the wall. Once you decide what you want to order, you go to the self-ordering kiosk and place your order. The owner was telling me that she lived in Japan for several years and learned how to cook many of the dishes during her stay. A customer came in, ordered, and then she was off preparing his food. We decided to try: Chicken curry - Curry sauce was delicious. She does not mix in veggies but adds a few peas and carrots on top. I wish my curry tasted like hers Bento with mapo tofu - Mapo had perfect spiciness. For an additional $3, the bento comes with cabbage salad, scoop of rice, egg roll on top of a few noodles There is a pitcher of water and cups near the entry so you can help yourself. When your order is ready, the owner will call out the order and you go to the counter to pick it up. I did not notice any other people working with her so she takes care of cooking all the orders then wipes down tables and tidies up as people leave. For an informal meal that tastes like homemade, give this place a try. They offer vegetarian meals too.

All good... $17 Tonkatsu Curry...the plate was huge! A thick, wide, juicy, tender, pork cutlet with that signature Japanese crispy crunchy batter embracing each other like a romantic couple on their 3rd date.

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.

When you enter, someone will seat you and then you order everything through a QR code that's on the table. Once you're ready to check out at the end, you can pay through your phone. It's super easy and convenient to be honest. I was really craving Japanese curry and my favorite place is Coco Ichibanya in southern california and although this place is not as good as my favorite place, it was still pretty good and hit the spot for my craving. I got the chicken karaage curry and added vegetables and an egg to it. I was sad they didn't have a Japanese omelette style egg but this fried egg still hit the spot. I believe I got spicy level 2, but it was not spicy at all for me. I do love spice though so I may not be a reliable source for spice levels... I will be getting a spicier level the next time I go though. If you're craving Japanese curry, check this spot out!!! It won't disappoint :)

Fried Calamari - 3/5 a bit dry but the sweet Thai aioli was interesting Geisha - 5/5 - Standard sushi roll 49er - 5/5 - my fave b/c of the refreshing lemon slice Carberator - 3.5/5 - just okay b/c I'm not the biggest fan of Tempura, we ordered it since it wasn't spicy for one of the members of my party to be able to enjoy and it was their favorite Snow White - 4/5 - a bit too saucy but great flavor ~~Parking: There's a dedicated parking lot that's pretty spacious, we didn't have any troubles finding parking. ~~Service: Good. All of the waitresses are super nice, though it can be a little difficult to get help from the back patio just due to not being within natural eyesight of them. ~~Best Part: 49er roll ~~Worst Part: Nothing. ~~Return: Yes

It's "drive-thru cool" meets "neighborhood gem." It's unpretentious, it's efficient, and it works. The Goods * The Pho: This isn't just soup; it's a spiritual experience. The broth is cleaner than a fresh audit and hits harder than a Monday morning deadline. * Banh Mi: The bread actually has that "shatter" factor. One bite and you're covered in crumbs like a happy disaster. It's the perfect ratio of crust, fluff, and savory kick. * Lemongrass Soup: If you need to wake up your senses, this is the lightning bolt. It's bright, herbaceous, and makes standard chicken noodle look like a nap. * Spring Rolls: Tight, fresh, and paired with a peanut sauce so good you'll want to take a pint of it home for later. The Bottom Line Forget the white tablecloths. If you want the real deal in Santa Rosa, you go to the place with the quirky layout and the elite kitchen. It's fast, it's fantastic, and it's got more character than a Russian novel.

Space is cozy and wood heavy, feels more thought out than a typical fast casual spot.

The service was amazing -- one super efficient waiter handled pretty much the whole room with a manager. Very attentive water refills and very accessible. The food came out so quickly and was delicious! Chicken katsu curry is $18 and generously portioned. I got the katsu rice plate (no curry sauce, but a sweet BBQ-ish katsu sauce) which came with a pile of cabbage salad, pickled cucumber salad, marinara spaghetti (somewhat inexplicably, but they do specialize in Japanese spaghetti here), rice, and miso soup for $19. A good deal! Chicken was tender and moist. The chicken katsu udon has a good amount of spice and flavor; just note it's on the spicy side. Also really appreciate the sesame seed grinder, the assortment of peppers and spices at the table you could add, and that there is a self-serve napkin dispenser. Those little things make a difference.

If you plan on visiting during the weekend, expect a wait. The line can get pretty long, but after eating here multiple times, I can confidently say it is worth every minute. Some restaurants are all hype, but Curry Hyuga earns every bit of the praise it receives. The katsu is consistently excellent. Whether you order the chicken or the pork, the breading is always perfectly crisp while the meat stays incredibly juicy and tender. That level of consistency is something I really appreciate because every visit has been just as good as the last. The curry is what keeps me coming back. It is rich, comforting, and packed with layers of flavor. Every bite has a depth and complexity that makes it stand out from your typical Japanese curry. It is the kind of meal that leaves you thinking about it long after you have finished. One thing I also really enjoy is the atmosphere. The restaurant strikes a great balance between being lively and comfortable. There is enough energy in the room that it feels welcoming and full of life, but it is still quiet enough to have an easy conversation without having to raise your voice. I often find myself stopping in for a solo meal when I am in the area, and it is the perfect place to enjoy a peaceful lunch or dinner by myself. At the same time, it works just as well when I bring friends and family. It is one of those rare restaurants that feels right no matter who you are dining with. The staff has also been nothing but friendly and welcoming every time I have visited. Even when the restaurant is packed, they stay attentive and keep things moving with a smile. If you have been debating whether to wait in line, take this as your sign. Curry Hyuga earned its place among the Top 100 Restaurants in the country for a reason, and it continues to prove why with every visit. I will happily keep coming back.

I'm happy that even after coming here for almost 20 years that very little has changed. It still tastes the same, the prices really haven't changed much, and the place still looks and feels the same. The only major change is that they charge for the pickled daikon (I think it's daikon, but I'm not totally sure). They used to just give you a small amount, but now if you pay for it they give you a good portion of them! My go-to here has always been the Chicken Katsu over Japanese curry, medium spicy, with zucchini, eggplant and sausage if they have it. It's still an excellent plate and the Japanese curry is rich and delicious. I love this place and I hope it continues to be here for many more years!
