Finding this spot after a long gap. Delicious in taste, excellent flavors and this will be my goto place for some fried chicken and Japanese curry.
Great quantity, the dashi omlette was a bit disappointing but the chicken katsu curry rice was excellent. Definitely recommend this place for some delicious chicken curry rice.

This was the most disappointing dining experiences we’ve had in the Bay Area.
We waited more than 40 minutes to be served at a less crowded restaurant. The rice omelet was particularly poor: the rice tasted bad and had a soggy, watery texture that made it unpleasant to eat.
What was most frustrating was the response from the staff. When we shared our feedback, neither the server nor the chef showed any effort to acknowledge or address our concerns.
Although the restaurant claims to offer “Japanese-style” cuisine, we could not find any elements that reflected the quality or care typically associated with Japanese food.
Unfortunately, this is not a place we would choose to return to.

Ordered the tonkatsu bento and was surprised with the big and generous portions of everything. The tonkatsu was juicy, the salad tasted great!
We also ordered takoyaki and chicken katsu curry and they were also so good and flavorful! They’re also pretty affordable too compared to the other Japanese restaurants in West SJ.

Consistent and delicious.
It really hits the craving for Japanese style curry.
Got the mapo tofu curry rice and a side of chicken karaoke.

I’ve been here a couple times with some friends, and the curry is always delicious. I’ve ordered the Mapo Nasu Curry Udon and the Buta-Shabu Curry Rice, and they’ve left me feeling satisfied.

Demiya – A Casual Spot for Japanese Curry Lovers in San Jose
Tucked into a modest storefront in San Jose, Demiya is a popular local curry house known for its Japanese-style curry rice, udon noodles, donburi, and teishoku sets. While the shop has built a strong following, especially for takeout, the dine-in experience is more of a casual, fast-food format than a full-service restaurant.
The dining space is compact, with wooden two-person tables that can be pushed together for small groups, but the layout isn’t ideal for larger gatherings. The décor is minimal but thoughtful—featuring Japanese artwork, a teapot or two, and a few playful touches like Hello Kitty plush toys.
Demiya’s menu offers a wide range of protein options including tonkatsu, chicken katsu, karaage, menchi (ground meat cutlet), tofu, nasu (eggplant), beef shabu, croquettes, and ebi (shrimp). A spicy level could be chosen with the curry option. I believe the curry rice with the fried protein could be high in calories. You can customize your meal further with toppings like mushrooms, veggies, omelet, egg, and sausage. While the variety is impressive, the prices run high considering the dishes are relatively simple and home-style in nature.
Ordering is done at the counter, and food is picked up once your name is called. Self-service water is available, and the dine-in staff presence is minimal—likely due to the team’s focus on prepping a steady stream of to-go orders. During lunch hours, even on weekdays, be prepared for a short wait in line.
If you’re looking for quick, customizable Japanese comfort food, Demiya delivers on flavor and variety, though not necessarily on atmosphere or service. Best suited for a solo visit or casual lunch, especially if you’re a fan of Japanese curry done right.

Tonkatsu Curry tasted great. The thick cut fried pork tasted very tender.
You will need to place the order and pay at the front desk; there is no waiter to serve. Almost everything is taken care by yourself, such as getting the water, receiving the food orders at the front desk, removing the tray and plates/bowls to the collection shelf in the back, etc. Also, it took quite a while to receive the order.

For Japanese curry place , still thinking Demiya is better than other 3 around South Bay .
Curry is light but flavorful and smooth.
Tonkatsu is outside crispy , inside is juicy , they did so perfectly!
You ordered at front , and pick up at front and clean table by yourself .

Order and pay upfront at the counter, then grab a seat. They’ll call your order# and you can collect your meal. Simple and efficient all by yourself. Tried the tonkatsu curry rice and chicken curry rice, both tasty. Meat is thick and tender, coating’s crispy but not oily though the curry sauces sure to be on the salty side, so dipping is not as carefree as I’d like. Still it’s nod bad for a quick bite when you’re specifically craving for a Japanese curry dish (eg rice, udon).
