Nippon Curry San Jose

Really good Japanese curry! This is located in a food hall and I wasn't expecting much. Definitely was pleasantly surprised! Ordered the Pork Katsu Curry and the Japanese Potato Croquettes Curry. Both were delicious and had so much flavor. The packaging here is top notch since everything stayed hot & crispy. Highly recommend if you're craving Japanese curry.

Ordered via UberEats for the first time early in the week and the second time last night. Suffice to say, we like the curry. The seperater in between the rice and the breaded protein is a nice consideration. We've opted to have the curry on the side which costs an extra fifty cents (likely for the extra container cost) thinking that it will prevent sogginess and that may not be necessary given the separater. For both times ordered, we were missing items. For the first, the potato croquettes offered in the deal did not arrive. For the second time, it was the pickles we opted in for and the utensils we paid for. Maybe going in person is the better method of getting everything we've order. Hoping to third times the charm.

Ordered from this place on DoorDash - since their San Jose location is in the San Jose Food Hall, so it's not a true free standing restaurant. As such, you order on kiosks and YOU HAVE TO BE MINDFUL NOT TO ORDER FROM CURRY HOUSE!!!!!!Now on to the NIPPON CURRY review. It's good. AMAZINGLY good. To be fair though, I go to the SF location frequently and think they're the best curry in the bay (I've been a few other places in the bay looking for good Japanese Curry), so this tastes EXACTLY the same. It has just the right amount of thickness, spice - it's just damn good. I ordered the Karaage curry and the karaage was delicious and the container separated the chicken from the rice and curry, keeping it nice and crispy. I'm definitely about to become their best customer

Saw Nippon Curry was recently added to DoorDash in my area! They have locations in SF and Berkeley that are both rated well so I was excited to try.Food delivered super fast, that it was still hot! I ordered the pork katsu curry with cheese. I love that they did a tiered container to prevent the katsu getting soggy. It's nice and crispy. The curry is honestly so delicious, I just knocked a star because they forgot the cheese which I was charged for. Will have to try this again sometime!

I really wanted to like this place since it's nearby. Ordered through Door Dash and the price was $17 for the Katsu Curry which was a serving of rice, breaded pork cutlet, Japanese curry sauce and a tiny container of something pickled. It came in a nice, big container which separated the breaded cutlet from the rice with curry sauce on top and smelled good, so I heartily dug in!But Friends! The curry sauce was cloyingly SWEET! It really should NOT be sweet. I am used to eating Japanese curry and this place got it FREAKING WRONG with the disgustingly sweet sauce. YUCK I was so unhappy with it and it sucked cause the sauce was already mixed with the rice. Ended up just eating the breaded cutlet. Not sure if it was an off night, but I will NOT be ordering from this place again! Beware of this if you don't like sweet curry sauce. Order your Japanese curry elsewhere!

TLDR - tasty, customized options, mid-range pricing and food is packaged to keep katsu/fried items crisp during transport.Let me set the scene for you: It's a brisk (San Jose brisk) 56 degree day in downtown the Monday after Super Bowl Sunday. I was perusing the DoorDash offerings for lunch when the idea of Japanese curry tickled my fancy. Nipon curry came up in my search which is located in the relatively new San Jose Food Hall downtown. I was intrigued and up for an adventure! I walked over to the San Jose Food Hall. I was expecting it to be like San Pedro market.. But felt like a ghost kitchen meets food court since you are not ordering from individual business windows. However it was clean, plenty of seating at 1230 and even floral center pieces. I ordered the chicken katsu curry with regular rice, I love that customers can customize their rice portion. No extras, order came out to $21.14. For me the quantity of food was enough and I prefer quality over quantity. However those with a larger appetite may be left wanting more. When my order was brought out to me, they included a potato croquette and karage sample with my order. I was so excited to be able to taste these items without ordering something additional I wouldn't finish. Both were tasty, I plan to go back for the karage next time, it was juicy, flavorful and crispy. Potato croquette was not bland, I could taste the onion and seasonings, nice any creamy! On a cold day the dish hit the spot :)

If you're craving an unforgettable Japanese curry experience, Nippon Curry is the place to go! I've tried japanese curry from many other restaurants, and Nippon Curry knocks them all out of the park. I'm so happy there's a location in San Jose now!Their Kani Croquette Curry with Beef Roux is absolutely phenomenal--comfort food taken to the next level. I love how they package the croquettes separately on top of the rice and curry so that they don't get soggy. The crispy kani croquettes are golden perfection, with a delicate crunch that gives way to a creamy, flavorful crab filling. But the real star? That beef roux--rich, velvety, and deeply savory, with layers of umami that coat every bite. Everything goes so well together with the red pickles too!Portions are generous, and every bite feels like a hug in food form. If you haven't tried Nippon Curry yet, do yourself a favor and do so!

The Food Hall in downtown San Jose has a great new addition with the new Nippon Curry. I had the Pork Katsu Curry that was separated from the rice and curry, maintaining it's crisp, juicy texture - this is a very thoughtful and important detail. They were generous with the curry portions as it covered the rice entirely. The curry also tastes fresh, not one of those cubed curries. Thicker curry with a little spice to it. The guy that handed me my order was friendly and seemed enthusiastic to be there.All in all, highly recommended and great value for the price. I would definitely want to revisit this place and try the other items on the menu.

My favorite curry!! It is one of my favorite SF curry spots so I was so excited to see I could get it in the south bay too! I wish they would open a storefront too but this was amazing as take out. Will be picking it up often!

Very tasty curry. Loved how the chicken was separated from the sauce and rice to keep it from getting soggy. Karaage chicken had a good texture on the outside. Super quick! Maybe slightly pricy. Will come back!
