FLA-VOR-FUL. Limited parking in shared lot. Quaint inside. Try the chicken karage, honey bread and any of their curries. Service was good, a must try!

Chicken Katsu Curry
Jaynar S.

Super friendly service from their team! I got the Chicken Katsu Curry level 3 which was just enough spice. Unfortunately the chicken was way overcooked and tough. The Shoyu Ramen was good. The interior is cutely decorated a d inviting.

I come here all the time. The food is great and the staff are always so kind. Usually it's never too busy and the food doesn't take long. I typically get a small chicken katsu curry with white rice.

We had a satisfactory experience dining here being our first time. While our orders were good but the service could be improved.

Tonkatsu plate, with salad and tofu.
Joe U.

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.

beef curry
Rewina T.

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!

Amazing as always! Staff is always friendly and the food comes out fast and hot! Definitely my go too Japanese curry place!

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.

Create Your Own Curry: large, with brown rice, spice level 5, and tofu katsu, for $17.70 from the dine-in menu
Ken M.

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.

Deep-Fried Shumai - 
 Pork and shrimp potstickers ($5)
Cici S.

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!

.... amazing Curry chicken. Everyone working here is great Definitely will be coming back

Naan curry

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.

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!

This katsu is one of THE BEST I've ever had. And I've spent more than 3 months in Japan…read more If you're here, you probably came for the katsu and you should definitely get the most popular combo. I legit forgot what it was but just the standard one was absolutely breathtaking. I didn't try any of the other stuff and I'm sure it's also amazing too but honestly whenever I come back here I'm probably just going to get the same thing lol. It can get really busy and they also close for lunch time so yeah just be prepared for that lol.

I made plans to meet a friend for lunch and wanted to try this place. Easy access from Durango just North of Warm Springs on the West side of the street. Ample parking, but the place itself (you can see from the photos) isn't large and they don't take reservations. We aimed to be there for 12:30P lunch figuring we'd just be the lunch crowd. I arrived a little early and they were already full up! The place is popular and with good reason. I added our part of 2 to the list and we waited maybe 10 minutes. So cute and authentic inside. Tables turned over fairly quickly. The staff is super friendly and efficient. They were there to guide and help us with menu choices and offer recommendations. I went with the pork katsu set that included soup, rice, piles of shredded cabbage, my main pork cutlet, and some pickles. The cabbage and soup is AYCE which was a nice offering though I didn't need it. I also got salmon poke with yuzu which was tart and so fresh. Recommended. My lunch date order Katsu Chicken Curry. The food is outstanding. Every bite elicited a "Mmm" from me as the soup broth was deep and savory. The pork was perfectly cooked, crispy outside, juicy and tender on the inside. I love the shredded cabbage. Their Katsu sauce is delicious and you get to grind your own sesame seeds which impart a crazy delicious, nutty texture. The Katsu Chicken Curry was also excellent. I would struggle next time to pick one over the other. There are plenty of places to find Katsu but none compare to Katsu Ya Ton Ton for perfecting this really tasty dish. Highly recommended!

The…read moreoriginal plan was to go for an AYCE sushi meal, but changed our mind since we just didn't want to eat that much. So we went to Tora, we hadn't been here for ages and since they have several of my favorite dishes, we figured why not... Ashley was our server and was running the register as well. Seating was quick, lively music vibe, perfect for lunch. We ordered takoyaki (IYKYN what these are) as an app. Some of the best I've had . My meal was the "hire" katsu teishoku (teishoku means set or complete meal) with cold water noodles . The "hire" katsu was more robust and a bit fattier than the plain katsu. The meal comes with a shredded cabbage salad, a small piece of tofu wit sauce . Another feature that lends to the authenticity is the little grinder bowl with sesame seeds and the muddler. You pulverize your sesame and then they bring a pitcher of tonkatsu sauce to add. My pork was fatty delicious the panko was light and crispy, the cold water noodles (a must have in summer time in Japan was great, good size serving on a plastic fake bamboo style made with a few ic cubes and a small bowl of soy to dip.... So cooling. I also ordered a side of curry to dip my katsu in. My dining companion had the tempura style shrimp teishoku ... with a side of rice and udon soup. The shrimp (5) were huge and totally crispy. We were stuffed when it was time to leave. By the way they serve alcohol, but we didn't partake. I imagine this place is pretty lively in the evening.. Didn't ask for a military discount. Tab was $ 103. 00 including 20% tip. Well worth it!

Music was a little loud, but we also sat ourselves directly under the speakers, our fault. They are understaffed and have a sign for employment hanging at the door. The food was decent, normal katsu, the breading was fluffy, liked it. The curry udon was okay. Restrooms were clean.
