Japanese Curry Zen

Amazing Authentic Curry and Chicken Katsu!We will return soon.Service was 5 stars and clean

Hm..... many people giving this place very high rating.Honestly, I think this place is way...overpriced If you look at the menu, you first pick the rice and curry it says.Second you pick hot spicy you like, follow by the protein, which is like chicken, meat loaf, and so on, for additional $5-$8, but now you go back, the first page saying small, reg or big rice and curry. Look at the price! Reg is $10, and large is $13, for white rice!!! I can't remember what I order, but it came out almost $20The curry flavor is good, chicken is good, white rice I paid over $10 is blah, is white rice‍Overall experience was a-okayThe place is tiny, staffs was friendly too.

I've been coming here for years so I think they deserve a review at this point. It's a fast casual built your own curry katsu spot. The curry is always tasty. I highly recommend adding spice if you like spice. Careful though because I wouldn't go over maybe a level 5 or 6. The spice level can easily get out of hand hahaTo order, you pick a curry base then add the meat / tofu choice on separately. The spinach curry is really delicious btw! One thing I'm sad about is I remember years ago when they first opened the almonds and raisins would be free for the table, but now it's an extra charge :( I think they should offer a topping platter so you get a little bit of each. When you order the raisins they give almost 2x too many. This place is quick and authentic casual Japanese. It looked like the cooks were all Mexican and I thought it was cool that they let them add their own touch to the menu. They recently added breakfast tacos , Jamaica and horchata which I'll try on the next visit probably:)

I love all types of comfort food, and Japanese curry is one of them.I've been to a few different Japanese katsu places here in Vegas, but this is the place I crave because it's totally no frills, and the focus is on the curry. The curry is super flavorful and generous, and the cool thing is you can decide which size portion to get between small, regular, and large . In addition you can choose your spice level and what meat (or meatless) option to add to your curry. I like to enjoy my dish on level 9 spice with extra pickled radish and a nice cold beer.

We ordered the nan (spelling incorrect on menu) "bread", potato croquette, and tofu katsu curry. While the potato croquette and tofu katsu were cooked to perfection, the nan bread didn't quite meet expectations. Traditional naan is typically crispy, with garlic or butter spread on top, and cooked in a tandoori or wood-fired oven. This version felt more like it had been microwaved.For the tofu katsu, I'd recommend adding a bit more flavor and ensuring a more balanced plate by increasing the curry portion--there was quite a bit of rice.The atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was exceptional, which made for an enjoyable experience overall. The curry itself was very good, and I'd definitely recommend this spot to curry lovers.

Stopped in and had a good lunch. I realize to rate anywhere a five stars rating it all comes down to their sincere qualities of service.

What a diamond in the rough! With the price of everything going up it's actually strange to see a restaurant NOT charging over $20 per meal. I mean, even fast food prices are outrageous nowadays. Japanese Curry Zen has managed to maintain high standards of food quality while keeping prices in check.

If you're a fan of bold flavors and hearty meals, this Japanese curry spot in Las Vegas is a must visit! The menu is fully customizable, starting with your choice of rice or noodle based curry, followed by the type of rice, spice level from 1 to 10, and a variety of proteins and toppings to make it your own. Level 2 offers a mild kick for those who like a little heat, while level 8 brings bold spice without overpowering the rich, savory curry. I tried level 8 and felt I could have gone for level 10. While the price does add up depending on your toppings and customizations, it is absolutely worth it for the quality and flavor. With its friendly staff, quick service, and cozy atmosphere, this spot is definitely a great curry option in Las Vegas.

Overall: 4.3/5 [dine in]We came here for a late lunch and were seated right away. The staff was very professional, though the food took a while to arrive. Their menu features a build-your-own curry bowl, where you can customize the portion size, carb, spice level, toppings, and proteins. I was taken aback that they charged extra for a higher level spice; it should honestly be included in the base price of the curry in my opinion. We got a small curry with white rice ($8.50) since we didn't want a lot of rice. However, there wasn't enough curry so we had to order extra side of curry ($3). Although the portion was small, the curry was delicious. Note: They charged us $0.20 twice for spicy level 4 for the small order & extra side order of curry. My husband added scrambled egg ($2) and sweet honey ($1.50) as the toppings (not needed from my perspective). For the protein, we got the 5 piece kushi ($7) since we were sharing. The kushi included chicken, zucchini, quail egg, shiitake mushroom, & fried shrimp. They were all equally good. We also got 5 pieces of takoyaki ($5.75) and 6 pieces of deep friend pork & shrimp shumai ($5). These appetizers were fresh & tasted better than the kushi.Although the food was satisfying, I'm not really a fan of the way they charge for every single little thing.

The absolute best Japanese curry! Curry Zen is a must-visit!Ambiance & Service: The interior is clean with plenty of seating. I visited on a weekday for dinner and there was no wait. The servers were very nice and attentive, and the food came out hot and fresh.Food: I ordered regular curry (spice level 4) with white rice and tofu katsu. The portion was hefty, enough for leftovers. Spice level 4 is a perfect medium, and the curry is savory and flavorful with hints of turmeric and other spices. The tofu is perfectly fried, and the rice is soft, soaking in the delicious curry.TL;DR: Delicious Japanese curry with friendly service. Try the tofu katsu!
