Did they delete my bad review from last time?
Second time here, the roast beef don is good, fries is good, fried oyster normal
Udon too salty
Spciy curry too sour
Normal curry is better
But still dont think this place is a legit curry place doesnt feel like it
Indeed more like a family restrants they sell everything fried food burger sushi curry noodle
The 2nd floor is big and interior is nice
A lot of table nice for big families and gathering
But they only use ipad to order so do takes times to read for everyone and hard to find waiter sometimes

While the store is cute (meh, as cute as it can get with tacky Japanese art on curtains mixed with actually cute One Piece figurines), the food is very overpriced for its size, taste, and service.
It took a very long time for the iPad to get to us before we can order, and afterwards the food took almost 25 minutes to come out.
We couldn’t flag down a waiter for water refills for a while.
While they may look large in the photo, they were oddly unfulfilling portions with shocking prices considering the taste. The gyudon was small and not all that flavorful/salty? Katsu curry was much larger but wasn’t anything special; I felt like it would have been tastier if I made it at home. A lot of rice.
The worst offender was the dumplings. Don’t get those. It came out first before the main dishes, and we were so disappointed in them that we were dreading our actual mains. Terrible sauce, thick skin, skimpy meat, flavorless, and cold. And barely an inch and a half in size. I don’t know how one can mess up so badly on dumplings and have the audacity to charge that much for them just because it was wagyu or something. The meat was the worst part of that dish.
I’m hoping it was maybe just a bad one time experience. While I personally wouldn’t go back again, give it a shot. Maybe I just got unlucky that day.

We were very satisfied with our dishes: Wagyu steak rice bowl $25. Generous portions of quality steak with great sauce. Chubby Curry Wagyu steak rice plate was also excellent although the curry itself was just average, similar to what you can make at home with Golden Curry packets.

Seeing the rating and actually tasting the curry was a definite match. Tried out the chubby curry wagyu steak plate was “fire” combining it with fuku jinzuke and the spicy paste, really hit my curry craving. The wagyu was melt in your mouth and the curry was creamy and delicious. We were lucky that we came at an off time and got a seat quickly. I can definitely see that people would line up to eat at this place. Glad to finally try this. Coming back sooner than later.

Atmosphere is 10/10 very nice decor
Service is 8/10 order via iPad food came out relatively fast
Food 5/10 There wasn’t enough curry with the amount of rice and meat given .
Value 3/10 it’s a bit expensive for the amount of food you get . For the price you can easily go eat ayce elsewhere. I was a bit disappointed with the portions

Ordered the spicy and non spicy curry. Both were well prepared. Also ordered the katsu on the side caused I didn’t want the curry to drench out the crunchy skin and it was good. Overall everything was great here including the service and attention given to detail. Will definitely return to try a few other items. Thanks for the dinner!

Compared to its flashy Chubby Group counterparts, Chubby Curry sits quite unassumingly on a street in Downtown Covina. The inside, however, is very cool. The restaurant makes impressive use of its narrow space. The ground floor is reminiscent of a diner, featuring counter seating and a row of booths. The upper floor has more tables and a bar. Various anime figures line the shelves and kitschy games lie scattered throughout the countertops.
Despite the name “Chubby Curry,” the menu is quite expansive. Rice bowls, handrolls, burgers, sashimi, and various katsu dishes are also available. The curry is seasoned well, but what really stands out to me is the Wagyu, featured in both the Wagyu Curry and the Wagyu Steak Rice Bowl. The sliced beef steals the show – the texture is amazing. Personally, I like the Wagyu Steak Rice Bowl more than I like the Wagyu Curry. I was so impressed on my first visit, that I visited two more times within the span of a couple weeks to try other things on the menu.
The katsu is very good. It’s perfectly crispy, yet moist and juicy. It’s also hefty – a very generous portion. I added pork katsu to my Oyakodon, and it ended up being enough food for like two people – which is great! With the katsu, the Oyakodon is $22-$23, depending on what protein you get. Considering how much food you get, I think this price is reasonable. Without the katsu, the Oyakodon is only $14, and is delicious on its own.
I also liked the Aonori Waffle Fries. In hindsight, I should’ve seen it coming, but in the moment, I was really surprised that they came with a curry dipping sauce. I wished that I had gotten them with the Wagyu Burger. The Wagyu Burger was ok, but I’ve had better. I wouldn’t say it was dry, but it wasn’t as moist and tender as I was expecting. Maybe a tad overcooked? And without that juiciness, the burger fell a little flat. I wished that I had the fries so I could pair the curry sauce with the burger to make it a little more interesting. I also thought the burger was a bit small. I was still a little peckish after eating it – yet another argument for the fries. The fries should honestly just come with the burger.
I thought that the sushi was mediocre at best. The blue crab handroll was just ok – I’ve had better for less money. The toro sashimi was fine – not fishy, but not necessarily super fresh. I wouldn’t get sushi again at Chubby Curry, but its inclusion on the menu didn’t make much sense to me in the first place.
And of course, I had to try the bar. I liked my cocktail. I got the Heiwa Tsuru-ume Kanjuki Nigori – an umeboshi and peach cocktail. I was expecting it to be salty and sour, but it was surprisingly refreshing and sweet.
As far as service, there was one incident where my group ordered chicken and pork katsu. The server brought out our food and was like “uhh I forgot which was pork and which was chicken, sorry.” I felt this situation could have been handled better because that kind of negligence could be serious if we had dietary restrictions. It was also annoying for us because we had to figure out which was which on our own. I don’t know what the server/food runner’s name was, but he had medium-long shaggy hair. Another time, I had really good service. I requested to sit upstairs and the servers complied with my request even though they really didn’t have to. I did not feel like my service quality was compromised by sitting upstairs. The servers were still attentive and very nice.
Overall, I really liked Chubby Curry. Prices are a bit high, but portions are proportional and the food quality is high for the most part. Service is also generally good.

Overall the food was very good and flavorful! I love that there is seating downstairs and upstairs! The only con: they did not have any forks and some people in my party don’t know how to use chopsticks.

Just hit up this gem of a Japanese curry spot – absolutely blown away! Started with some crazy fresh sashimi with this gorgeous plating. Then came this tempura handroll that was straight-up ridiculous – nori and tempura crisp as can be.
But yo, the star of the show? That katsu curry! The cutlet was perfection – golden brown, crispy exterior giving way to the juiciest pork inside. The curry sauce was hitting all the right notes – rich, slightly sweet, with that perfect Japanese curry comfort. Paired it with some waffle fries seasoned with herbs that were absolutely addictive.
The attention to detail here is next level – from the wooden handroll stands to those stylish plates with yellow edges. Real talk, this place is becoming my new go-to spot. Quality is A1, vibes are immaculate. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and check it out!

First time here and had a great experience! At first this place looks really small! We waited about 15 minutes to be seated! They seated us on the second floor which was really nice and felt almost private! The staff here is super friendly and explained everything on how the process of ordering goes, which is pretty much all electronic! The tablet on the table is how you order your food! Once everything is chosen, you hit “send order to kitchen” and everything gets prepared! I had the wagyu burger and let me tell you it was delicious! The sauce they put in this burger is amazing, along with the caramelized onions!! Fantastic!! The dumplings were also very flavorful! We ordered a plate of waffle fries for the table and those couldn’t have been any better!! I believe the sauce they use on the wagyu burger is the same sauce they use as a dipping sauce for the waffle fries!! My mom had a veggie plate which was also very flavorful and beautifully presented! My brother had the chicken katsu curry plate and he said it didn’t disappoint! He let me try the curry and also a piece of the chicken and it was very good!! Between the 3 of us and everything we ate, our bill was about $100! A bit pricey but definitely worth it! Can’t wait to go back to try the chicken katsu sandwich!!
