Reviews
Recently, we’ve noticed a consistent drop in both quality and portion size when ordering takeout, compared to dining in. This time, the curry portion was noticeably much smaller than what is normally served in-restaurant (photos attached for reference). The meat in my order also tasted overly batter-heavy, undercooked, and stale, which made it really unpleasant to eat. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time we’ve experienced this with takeout.
On top of that, the customer service has been frustrating. There is a younger female staff member who is often at the counter, and every time she handles our order, the experience is negative. For example, we once ordered pickup and waited over 30 minutes past the quoted time, and despite clearly seeing us waiting, she never acknowledged us or gave an update. Her attitude has consistently come across as dismissive and rude.
We don’t like leaving negative reviews, especially for a place we genuinely enjoy and support regularly. However, it’s upsetting to feel like takeout customers are treated differently — both in food quality and service. We’re hoping management sees this and addresses the inconsistency, because we want to continue supporting this location.
We started with the Garlic Cheese Naan, which was absolutely delicious fresh and hot, though it did lose a bit of its magic as it cooled – so definitely enjoy it quickly! It was also my boyfriend’s very first foray into Japanese curry, and I’m happy to report he absolutely loved it. He opted for the spicy teriyaki fried chicken, while I indulged in my classic chicken cutlet. Both dishes were just as rich and flavorful as I remembered, hitting all the right notes of comforting deliciousness.
My only minor disappointment was that they were out of iced coffee, which would have been a perfect complement. Nevertheless, the overall experience was fantastic, and I’m already planning my next visit to have my old favorite, the keema curry! I’ll definitely be back when I’m in San Diego.
Honestly, I think the inside is a little too crowded the way the tables are set up but I don’t mind. I come here for the Japanese curry. Friendly staff and good service. They get super busy at times and line starts forming outside. Parking gets very difficult since it’s also located in a busy commercial area. But will definitely recommend.
Parking is ample during off-peak hours but can be challenging during meal times.
Here’s a quick rundown of our latest dinner picks:
* Chicken Curry with Spinach and Mushrooms – 4.8/5 The chicken was mostly tender, though one slice was a bit chewy. The spinach was fresh and flavorful, and the mushrooms were perfectly soft.
* Chicken Curry with Vegetable Croquettes (2) – 4/5 Absolute standout! The croquettes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside—delicious and satisfying.
* Garlic Naan – 4/5 We love the flavor, but it arrived a bit too early and got cold before the rest of our food came. If it had been timed better, this easily would’ve been a 5.
* Chicken Curry with Thin-Sliced Beef – 4.5/5 Surprisingly juicy! The thin beef slices held their own and added a rich, savory layer to the curry.
