Tokyo Eats - Curry & Ramen

Had the craving for Japanese food after being at Anime Impulse LA. Glad there was a late night spot that had Japanese curry and ramen. My girl got the chicken katsu curry and the rice came in the design of a cat. She thought it was kawaii. I went with the chicken katsu curry but I got it spicy (just the way I like it.) This meal knocked out all my cravings for Japanese curry. Curry was very flavorful and just the perfect amount of rice to go with the meal. Would definitely come back. Also, service was great. Server was a "one man" show dealing with all the tables. Zero complaints.

Chicken katsu curry was very cute and delicious. My kids loved it. The Seafood Pasta was really good too.

The food here is really good! We ordered curry tonkatsu and katsu ramen. Our server was really helpful and provided great service, he made sure to check on us frequently. The restaurant was pretty chill on a Thursday night.

SERVICE was fantastic! So honest and thoughtful for the customer experience. The restaurant was so COZY and warm on a cold day with a cute hole in the wall brightly lit Downtown Tokyo store front vibe. Great food between the combination of the CHICKEN CURRY, KATSU and rice which was very satiating. The pickled daikon was also a good palette cleanser. It was my first time having Japanese curry and it was thick and very flavorful. They were smaller portions so would be good to get some appetizers. That Jinro frog gave me a Soju and Sapporo craving. Definitely delivered! I will be back for sure.

Came here at 9:30 and the first thing I'll like to say is the interior is very nice and cute. Got many cute lighting decorations on top and fake blossom trees that give it a nice ambience. The music is slightly loud inside, but that's okay with me! I got the buy 1 get 1 free curry rice deal that I saw from their business sponsor. You can only get this when you dine in and it didn't take too long for the food to come out. Looking at the food, the art came out alright. You can make out what animal they are, but it could be seen a little broken on the paws. I got 1 spicy and 1 non spicy. The spicy curry wasn't that spicy, unless my spice is too high, but the flavor is there. Good flavor and umami taste. The rice and curry temperature could be hotter when freshly served and the rice is a bit harder than usual rice grain. The chicken katsu deserves its own paragraph. It is surprisingly very juicy once you bite into it. It has that perfect crisp on the outside and tenderness. 5/5 on the chicken katsu! I would recommend coming here for the deal and give it a try yourself with a friend or partner!

Came here on a Wednesday night around 7 PM. Not too busy, and it's easy to miss as it's tucked into a little alleyway, but super cute once you go in. Food was good, server was a kind young man--we may return!Further breakdown below:* Parking (2/5): No nearby free parking. Don't park across from the entrance because it's for other businesses and there are a lot of signs warning about towing. However, if you turn the corner and drive past the well-lit Soco area, you'll find a small parking lot where you can park and walk over in less than 5 mins. Not the most convenient with little ones, but doable.* Service (4/5): Young cordial man who checked on us often and made sure our girl got her bear-themed Katsu curry rice. No complaints.* Food (3.5/5): They had a BOGO chicken curry Katsu rice deal. We got one spicy one to share and one non-spicy one for our toddler. They came as cute cat and bear characters. Flavor was great; I only wished the curry was a little hotter, as it was strangely lukewarm while the Katsu was nice and hot. Good portion of rice, curry and Katsu. Quite worth it, especially with the deal. We also ordered a tonkotsu ramen, and admittedly, it was just okay. Not the best but doable. The stock just wasn't as strong and creamy as I'm used to, and definitely not the way the really good Japanese joints do it.* Ambiance (4/5): Super cute. Lots of string lights, some lanterns, a faux cherry tree, and some TVs that take you on "walks" through Japanese streets and parks was a cute touch. I can see this as a cute date place. Catchy music playing too (lots of R&B and rap).We may be back. Kids seemed to like the food and we enjoyed the experience overall.

Came here for a late night snack and it was fairly disappointing based on the reviews posted here. The food itself was just okay... okonomiyaki and croquette was as you would expect it to be. The disappointing part of this experience was the awful small inside the restaurant. It was like a restroom sewage type smell where I contemplated of leaving. I really hope it was just an off night because I do want to give it another try and order the curry as it seems like that is what they are known for.Good quick eat/drink spot when in DTF but doesn't have a cleanliness vibe.

Great curry katsu option in downtown Fullerton. It's where J's cuisine used to be. There's some street parking and parking lots close by. Saw all the reviews about the BOGO chicken katsu curry rice and had to stop by. Such a great deal and definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area. The Katsu was good. The only thing was that the curry was more warm than hot. But overall, good customer service and the food came out quick.

This is a nice place to eat at. I enjoyed their buy one get one curry for free. The red radishes were really tasty and the curry provides a nice heat you feel within. The starter platter that has samples of different fried assortments was very worthwhile. Everything I tried was nice. Matthew provided an excellent experience. Thank you Matthew.Chicken Katsu Curry Rice (Cat) 5/5 cuteChicken Curry Rice 5/5Starter Platter 5/5

The waitress is so nice! Stumbled upon this place just walking on a Saturday night. Tbh great place to grab a bite to eat after the bars. Can't go wrong with curry and ramen. This curry hit the spot. You can never go wrong with for Japanese curry. Esp after a night of drinking, and no that's not the alcohol speaking. Check this place out if you're liking good Japanese eats. Open late too!
