Lovely no-nonsense place that serves delicious omurice in the ID. Vegetarians have a few options. They even make a tofu curry for those that don’t eggs. The food was flavorful and rich. We got our orders within a minute of placing them! The miso soup was on point as was the omurice. The consistency of the sauce was just right and the spice level hit a spot. I’ll be back for more!

Great food! I came for lunch and got the karaage and chicken katsu curry. While the curry could’ve packed a little more heat (on me for getting 2 instead of 3 stars) the food was all around great! If definitely has the good taste of japanese curry that I miss from my time there. Their karaage is also fantastic.

I ordered for pickup so I didn’t expect the katsu to be that crispy which was fine. We both ordered the chicken cutlet with egg, level 2 and 5. The curry was pretty good, and so was the egg, but the cutlet felt a little stale to me (again, ignoring the part where it wasn’t too crispy from transport). They package the curry separately for takeout which is very nice of them. There were plenty of tables for walk-ins when we went on a weekday evening.

Visited on a Saturday during prime dinner time and was surprised to find the restaurant pretty empty considering the hype after being featured by a few local food bloggers. The food was pretty good, the pork was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the curry was also quite tasty. I was mildly disappointed overall though with some of the add-on items. It was $8.50 to make your meal a combo (includes a miso soup, salad, and green tea) and both items were not good. The green tea was more like yellow colored water, and the salad was also just blah.
Overall, I’d say the experience was okay, but considering how difficult it is to find parking in ID and the overwhelming selection of restaurants nearby, I don’t think this would be my food of choice again.

Perfectly fried chicken katsu in a nicely designed atmosphere. We also tried the omuraisu with spinach. The egg was cooked well and the spinach a nice counterpoint to the curry. Put this in your list if you’re looking for a good value meal before an event.

If you’re craving authentic Japanese curry, Ringo Curry hits the spot. The staff was welcoming from the moment we walked in, and service was quick no waiting around, just straight to the good stuff.
The curry itself was rich, savory, and full of that classic depth you only get overseas. One bite and I was right back in Japan. The curry was familiar, comforting, and ridiculously satisfying. The katsu was crispy, the sauce was silky and packed with flavor, and it all just came together perfectly on the plate.
Simple. Fast. Delicious.
If you love Japanese curry, put this place on your list.

Ordered two pork katsu sets, along with a small paid upgrade to a set menu (salad and tea) and takoyaki.
Unfortunately, the food was extremely disappointing. The only item that was even remotely acceptable was the takoyaki, which still felt pre-made rather than freshly prepared.
The salad included in the set did not look fresh, and despite paying extra, both the salad and tea were forgotten and had to be reminded.
The biggest issue was the pork katsu itself. While it looked fine visually, the taste was shockingly poor — dry, bland, and so unappetizing that it was difficult to finish. I’ve had pork katsu all over the world, and this was far below the standard I would expect for pork katsu.
I usually don’t leave reviews for restaurants unless the experience is very positive, but the katsu here was bad enough that I felt compelled to say something.
Considering the price, this experience was especially disappointing.
The only reason this review is not one star is that the staff were polite, but the food quality alone would not bring me back or make this a place I could recommend.

Came here for lunch on a friday! I am a huge curry fan and I was excited to try this place out. I was in heaven at first bite, it did not disappoint. I really loved the refreshing sweetness of the apple poking thru the savory curry. The ability to customize your dish with different spice levels and toppings makes me so happy. I might have to come here weekly, this is my new favorite restaurant in Seattle!

The egg omlette is done well! The katsu remained crispy to the very end. The curry has a very very mild spiciness to it, and the curry flavor is rounded nicely. A bit too salty. Taste is good, price is a little high, but overall would come again, I liked the atmosphere.

Had a really good meal. The curry was pretty good and the service was great. There were open tables when we got there because we went early before the dinner crowd. They say to let them know if you have nut allergies, but it seems like they completely took the nuts out of the curry so it’s good for those with peanut allergies. We sat by the window so we had a nice view of China Town, and the homeless but hey they’re everywhere downtown now. The seating is limited so if you’re planning on going try to go a little earlier. Enjoy!
