Demiya

Came here Sunday morning with a group of four at opening time and we were seated right away. There were even other groups already seated. It's located in the same plaza as Hmart and other restaurants so there's parking, but it can get busy and hectic. There were a lot of different meat/protein/vegetable options for curry rice, curry udon and also rice dishes without the curry. I got the kinoko (mushrooms), soft tofu and spinach curry rice with a side of sunny side up egg, and a chicken karaage a la carte. There are also different spice levels (up to +3) for the curry. The portions were huge. The karaage was nicely fried and did not have too thick of a breading. It also came with a side of spicy mayo and three edamame. I don't remember there being a lemon on the side but the chicken did not feel too oily. I would definitely get this again. The curry was more liquidy than I'm used to, but was still very flavorful. My boyfriend's tonkatsu curry had a different consistency. Even as a non-vegetarian, I do appreciate there being non meat options. There is also a definite difference between each of the three spice levels, with the +2 being about the same as the "Hot" level from those curry blocks. We also got pickles, but you have to pay $1 extra for them.The restaurant has a casual feel with minimal decorations. They were playing J-pop/K-pop in the background. I would come here again if I was in the area!

Wayyyyyyyyyyyy better than the other location. Food: 4/5Food was made fresh. Generous portion. The miso soup was salty so I couldn't finish but everything else was great. Service: 5/5Friendly staff. Attentive and politeAmbiance: 5/5Parking can be difficult during busy weekends. The place has many tables and great for hangouts.

THE place to go to for Japanese Curry.Man I wish I had one of these just a little closer to where I live. Theres one in Dublin but thats still like 35 mins away from me...Let's be real. I'm still driving to it because it's friggin Demiya man! It always hits no matter which location you go to.This location in San Jose is me and my homies goto spot. It's always super clean and the service is always solid. The one thing I want to highlight is the Karaage. If you haven't tried the Karaage curry, you got to man. You pay a little extra than you normally would but I feel like you get a nice amount of chicken as a result. I love the sauce with. I think it's kewpie mayo. If it is or if it's a similar made sauce, im all about it. It's so nice taking bites of the curry with the chicken and then switching to the mayo to cool your mouth. I suppose you don't have to technically get it spicy...I won't judge. Just know the Karaage is bomb even on its own. It has the perfect fried texture and at the same time the inside has an ever so slight ginger/garlic taste to it. Ultimately I've never had a bad experience at any of these locations. It's crazy how consistent they are. If you haven't had a curry from Demiya, you ain't living.

This was the first time we came to this restaurant and it did not disappoint!Here were the dishes we tried:Daria - 5/5 such a yummy dish and was a recommendation from the staff! I chose the Buta (ground pork and mushrooms). It's quite a large entree and you need to be ok with waiting for at least 20 mins for the staff to make this scrumptious dish. When they brought it out there were a number of spectators wanting to know what it was and how it tasted. The quantity was quite a bit, enough for 3-4 people - definitely a bang for your buck!Chicken Katsu with curry rice - 5/5 we have had our fair share of curry rice and this one was well made! For a winter night this hits the spot for a warm and delightful comfort meal. Chicken Katsu was crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside!Staff are warm and welcoming! Ambience is small and cozy restaurant.BEWARE OF THE PARKING! For a Friday night it was chaotic given this restaurant is located in the H Mart plaza. It's worth looking for side street parking but again, that can be a gamble given how popular this plaza is.

For bigger parties, the wait is a bit longer for tables to open up. The servers were friendly and nice. The food was a decent portion and I could not finish the entire meal. We all had leftovers. The interior is clean with lots of tables and seats.

More of a sit-down place now with someone greeting you and seating you. Same good katsu curry and I think more options on the menu now. Still delicious!

This place is much better than the Saratoga location. It's a restaurant locate next to H mart. Very convenient grocery shopping after food. The quality of food is spot on. We got the karaage, hamburger, and doriya. It takes 20 minutes to make but worth the wait. The server make sure all food come on time so we can all eat Goethe's. Everything is fresh and well seasoned. BIG PORTION especially the Doriya. Reasonable price and attentive service. Will definitely return!

Amazing. The food is delicious. Service is always great as well. The esthetics is very clean and calm. I recommend you try it! Menchi Katsu, Chicken Katsu, it's all delicious.

[Food]- Tonkatsu Curry ($15.50): I got this in level 2 spice and it was perfect! Tonkatsu was crunchy, moist, and tender. Curry was flavorful and nicely spiced. Rice was fluffy as always. No complaints! This is also my fav dish to get at Demiya[Ambiance]- Definitely more spacious than the Saratoga location- They changed the "order at cashier first then grab table" to wait to being seated and having the waiter take your order instead which I prefer more so that people don't hoard seats lol[Overall] - Been to this location at least 3-4 times and was never disappointed!- Would come back again as both Saratoga and Cupertino locations are comparable in terms of food quality- I miss when they had their Japanese Breakfast which they removed from their menu already but hopefully they bring it back from time to time

Rich and flavorful Japanese comfort foods in a clean casual restaurant! We came right at dinner opening time and were immediately seated. The service was very quick. They have a variety of curry udon and curry rice dishes, with some unique specials like omurice and mentaiko cream udon as well. I like that they put the fried meat on the side so it stays crispy. The tonkatsu was delicious and tender, and we also enjoyed the soft shell crab katsu! We got ours both spicy, and it had a nice kick without being overly spicy. The dishes are huge, so I feel like it's very worth the price. The restaurant doesn't have a visible sign overhead, but it's right next to yifang in the hmart plaza.
