Second time was great as suspected and not just a one time rare instance!!! Staff super friendly and attentive but my goodness....Beef bowl was delicious!! Definitely gave me Yoshinoya vibes but much better quality but even came with the bright red ginger!! Highly recommend adding the white onions and red pickles!!! Large amounts of tender beef brisket and amazing rice drenched with the juices!!! Also recommend adding fried egg!!! Also tried the Honey toast which is the Milk bun drizzled with honey and served with two scoops of ice cream!!! Fair warning it's a large plate of amazingly delicious desert!!! read more

I love that over the years Zen Curry has opened multiple locations spread throughout the valley. Of course, none will beat the vibes of the OG Chinatown location. However, it's great that this spot is conveniently much closer and easier to park in without having to drive all the way to Chinatown and dealing with the congestion. Zen Curry West is a lot more modern, spacious, clean, and has working AC versus how cramped the OG is. Their menu is basically the same but they offer a few extra items. The service is just as friendly and quick and quality remains similar. Overall, I'd probably visit again for a quick takeout if I was craving katsu but didn't want to drive down to Chinatown! read more

It's comfort food for sure! Whenever I am craving for a simple Japanese's curry, I would go here. However, I think the price is a little bit too pricey for the establishment. The service is a little slow too, but the servers are very attentive. read more

Hands down, the best chicken katsu curry ever! The chicken was moist, lightly breaded, and just perfect. The curry sauce was delicious too. I ordered a spice level of 3, which was a little too spicy for me, so next time I'll go with a 2. I can't wait to come back read more

Everything looks the part, almost smells the part, but the Tonkatsu and Chicken Katsu was overcooked, again. The service is great, and the restaurant overall is clean. I wouldn't recommend this location because it's not on par to the one in Chinatown. read more

Zen Curry West - Tonkatsu plate, with salad and tofu. - Japanese Curry Near Me - Spring Valley, Nevada

Dear Zen Management My family and I have been loyal Zen customers since 2009. We usually went to the Spring Mountain location and started visiting Tropicana more often when it opened because it's closer to our home. Today, we had a party of four and ordered four plates and appetizers. As we normally do with curry, we asked for a small portion of raku (onion pickle) In the past, this was always complimentary. On our check today, we were charged $1.50 for it without being told in advance. My concern is not the amount, but the lack of communication from lady server . If there is a new policy, it should be clearly explained to the customer. Because of this experience, I've decided not to return to the Tropicana location, which is very disappointing after so many years of loyalty. read more

Excellent week night takeout experience! Upon entering to place dinner order, I was immediately greeted by a warm welcome. I ordered the choose your own curry for the hubby (add corn & veggies). I had the Katsudon (I opted for tofu as the protein and brown rice). My son had the kids ramen with mini hot dogs and one egg roll. All three of us LOVED our entrees! I was elated to know that I always have the option of brown rice. The staffs were immensely friendly too! read more

Zen Curry West has been one of my favorite spots for years. The curry is consistently delicious and always hits the spot. We also had the miso soup and gyoza this evening, and both were excellent.

Open spacing and very cute decor in the store. The booth seat were comfortable and service was really quick. Food was even quicker as well, they offer mostly curry but also have some sides like sushi rolls and ramen. And now they offer a Japanese style breakfast from 9-1pm I believe, I went too late in the day to try it but it did look good. I ordered my usual curry of beef with white rice and lvl 8 spice. It holds a kick but not enough to make me cry! a 10/10 as usual! read more

Never like Japanese curry. But this time I have changed my opinion. I had the curry ramen and it was delicious. The curry was added quite a bit of sweetness and it worked really well with the spiciness. Japanese curry usually doesn't have much kick nor aroma but this added a lot of flavor, also Japanese spicy ramen usually is simply spicy (even spicy curry ramen), it would have been so spicy that I would sweat but it was still just spicy. The chicken Katsu was over fried, would have been better with pork katsu. read more

Create Your Own Curry: large, with brown rice, spice level 5, and tofu katsu, was $17.70 from the dine-in menu. It was prepared with no vegetables, but could be added for an additional $3.50 ($21.20 total). The tofu katsu was good, but I could have eaten more, which is available for an additional $4.00 ($25.20). So, when you really get down to it, their pricing is expensive. Vegetables should be automatic, not an extra fee. This penalizes, rather than encourages, vegetable consumption from their menu. The curry is served with a surprising amount of sauce, which I think would be an extra amount for an additional price. I would rather have a regular amount of sauce with mushrooms or vegetables added to it with no extra price. I asked if the Spicy Miso Ramen was made with vegan broth, but our server didn't know the answer, and a manager wasn't available to get that information from. For dessert, we had sorbet, for $4 each. It was served in the plastic container, which we had to open ourselves. I could just go to the store, purchase that myself, and eat it at home. It doesn't make sense for a restaurant to serve a packaged food item directly from the store shelf. The food itself is very good. They are generous with the curry sauce. The dine-in service was great. The restaurant is casual, but lacks elegant decor to help justify the high pricing. read more

K and I went for a weekend lunch. Pretty busy but we were able to get a table right away. First time here so we weren't sure what to try but went with shumai and karaage as appetizer. Shumai was solid but karaage was delicious and I really enjoyed it. I didn't use the spicy mayo since the chicken was very tasty on its own. K got the curry moco with level 4. It was a little hotter than he expected but he still ate most of it and had some leftover to take home. I got the katsudon with the chicken substituted. It was good but I don't know why I didn't get something with curry since it was my first time there lol (I'm usually a mild so I couldn't try K's curry loco). We will definitely visit again so I'll be sure to get a curry dish! read more

Visiting from out of town but the service was GREAT. They asked me if it was first time or if I was coming back from other location. The server and on-site manager were so cordial and personable with the customer service that they were providing. While I was waiting, the server gave me the restaurant's new hibiscus drink on the house as a welcome. It doesn't stop there, although I got the basic curry, it was one of the BEST curries I tried at a restaurant, didn't have high expectations with how simple my order was but the sauce alone speaks volumes with how savoury it was and with the right amount of kick for spice. I closed it all up with a tiramisu which was topped with a coffee bean on top and it is a delightful way to balance out the palette after curry and despite its small(er) size, is something I would order again. Biggest regret is not being able to come back here for a while and try the speciality curry that was recommended. 10/10 Will visit again next time in Vegas Great job to the team!! read more

Comfort food at its finest! I came to Zen Curry on a cold & rainy day which just hit differently. The inside is welcoming tables for dine in or a convenient take out counter. I came with a group so we were able to try quite a few different things. My favorites were the curry ramen, katsu don & curry ramen. The curry was rich & flavorful and I'm drooling just thinking about it again. The prices were very reasonable and I thought the portions were as well. I would definitely come back again! read more

I was there around 2 pm, only 2 or 3 tables has customers. Only 1 server over there. I was ordered a bowl of soup until I finished my foods I never had my soup but the soup still on the receipt until I notice the server she just realized it. I had Naan Curry, like 4 court pieces they charged for $5. How the Naan tasting bad like, even you going to Trader Joe's buy frozen Naan out into bake to toasting it, better then this. I only tried one piece and left all on the table. The foods waiting so longer. This Curry place was my favorite one. First time to try this location. They have 3 locations this one is worst one. I ordered curry for spicy level 7, even I never teasing any spicy. Better going to Spring Mountain location. read more

Not bad! Went here with my husband to get chicken katsu curry and ramen. I know, I know it's not a ramen place but it was calling my name! My chicken katsu was delicious and the curry was too. The ramen wasn't the best but it was still pretty good. Large portions! The ramen was reasonably priced. The curry seemed a bit pricey too me, but for its quantity, it's not bad. The staff was nice and the food came out quick. I'll be back! read more

I'm happy that Zen Curry opened on this side of town because they are the best! We used to visit the Chinatown location frequently, but avoided the one on Rainbow because their quality went downhill. They still have the best tasting curry in the city. Thankfully, it is just as good as the one on Spring Mountain. Isn't it weird how the food at different locations of the same restaurant can taste so different? Not to worry, it's the same curry, same toppings and I appreciate that there are 3 different sizes to avoid wasting food. If I don't eat everything off my plate, I'm definitely not going to take home soggy curry rice. What I also love about this location is that they have ramen on their menu! Our favorite ramen shop in the area closed down a few years ago, and there has been nothing good since then. However, this is now my favorite curry + ramen restaurant! The miso ramen broth had good flavor without being too rich or watered down. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and they give you thick slices of Char Siu. They give you a pretty good portion of the curry fries and the Honey Toast is great as well. Just make sure you look at the pictures if you order off the ramen menu, because it doesn't specify the toppings in writing. I order everything without onions, lol. The restaurant is very clean and the employees are friendly and attentive. Parking is much easier to find compared to the busy plaza in Chinatown. I have ordered take out many times and the food is still good by the time I get home. We will be back again soon! read more

I had an incredibly great meal here which was unexpected. Their curry base is not too bad in pricing, but if you decide to add stuff like beef (+$7.00) or one potato croquette (+$3.50) or veggies, it starts to add up. We got several items to try: Curry - 4/5 (level 5 had a slight kick) Fried foods assortment - 4/5 Spicy miso ramen- 5/5. (Special menu) Regular miso ramen- 4.5/5 Karaage- 2.5/5. It was a biIt burnt and I wasn't a fan. Was kinda blown away. This is probably hands down my favorite miso ramen in town. It wasn't that watered down, "where's the miso." type of flavor and actually had a reddish brown tint. I wonder if they use red miso. I'll be back for their spicy miso ramen without a doubt. The noodles are semi kinky. Good texture and thickness. Oh and the CHARSIU!!!!! They didn't commit the sin of putting in a piece of pork belly in there. It was actual charsiu that is fatty and good. I hyped it up. Went back. It was still good. Service - 5/5 the guy made sure our cups were always filled. HIGHLY RECOMMEND- read more

A little delayed in my review of Zen Japanese Curry having now been there twice, but absolutely glad to welcome Zen to my hood. Glad to have more Asian food establishments in the area of West Tropicana, let alone Japanese curry. Yummy! To the uninitiated, curry pan (curry bread) is like a hot pocket, but with curry. Zen makes only about 20 a day. Comes with 2 (I think) and are smaller than what you might find in actual Japan but tasty and hot. It's a nice touch to their menu and we liked them a lot. Fried oysters? A hard yes for me anytime I see on a menu. These little gems (small in size) are absolutely delish because as we fried oyster eaters know that the batter can make it or break it. This batter is good because you can taste that the oil that fried it was clean. Me-U is our server and was friendly and attentive in a way that young people are not, so we instantly like her. She set the tone from the moment we sat down and enjoyed having her as our server. It seems all the staff a pretty nice, welcoming and also Asian, which brings some street creed to this spot (LOL!...says the white girl). Anyway, how big, how spicy, pick your protein concept is kind of how you order from the menu. Comes out pretty quick and is relatively decent in our perspective. And portion sizes are large, even if ordering smaller size. Reasonably priced and not fast food, but food fast in the Japanese way things can often be. Not a 5 to me, but absolutely a 4 to me and we will return. read more

With excellent customer service and nearby my home, I am a happy camper! First timer at this location with a nice clean environment, modern seating and decor, booths, tables, and bar seatings. Todays Order Chicken Katsu w/ Corn, LV6 Spice Kurobuta w/ Curry, LV5 Spice Tofu Salad (corn, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots) w/ Sesame dressing Everything was cooked to perfection with delicious quality food! I can't wait to come back again and bring my family to this location. It's hole in a wall, same place as Sweet Garden (Japanese Cheesecake). Can't miss this place though! If you like spicy but not trying to hurt yourself , Level 6-7 is pretty safe! I don't know many who would get a Level 10 but bravo to you if you can handle it! read more

I just noticed that Zen Curry opened this location 7 months ago. I wanted to try this place out. The ambiance looks very modern and inviting. The service was great and very accomodating. I kept my order simple to see if it compares to the original location Food: I ordered a basic small plate with white rice and Kurobuta sausage level 4 spice and it was up to par like always. Tofu salad was great an easy appetizer, cant go wrong ordering it. Make sure to scan their review and recieve a mini Honey Toast with ice cream. Ill definitely come back since this location is closer to my ladys house. read more

My fave Japanese curry is now close to my place! First off, thank you for the warm welcome at the entrance and shoutout to the quick and friendly service of my server. The place is bright, tidy, and smells delicious. It's my first meal of the day, and I'm so happy I got to enjoy it here! Only 6 months old, and they have expanded their menu than the popular curry toppings I was used to. I started w a small green salad with Thai iced tea. I had to have my usual pork katsu, kurobuta sausage, and potato coquette with brown rice with level 2 spice. Halfway in, my cousin saw my pic and asked me to order her something similar to-go for when she lands from the airport AND roomie, who doesn't eat curry, even ordered a ramen and takoyaki! Food was served hot and swiftly! I wish I had 2 stomachs to enjoy this in one sitting. Fear not, for I will definitely enjoy a second round later! Can't wait for the alcohol to join the menu in the future! Thank you, Zen Curry West! read more
