Coco Ichibanya Curry Restaurant IRVINE

Frank Fazio

Well, I finally made it out to Coco Ichibanya. After dining at the venue in Japan, i was anxious to try our locale. Parking was a bit challenging, as there were many establishments sharing the same lot. We arrived early and seating was quick. The staff were friendly. Make sure your whole party is present to get your table. The restaurant feels spacious for it's smallish size. Everything was very clean and organized. The menu had many wonderful offerings, and I decided on the Minced Meat Cutlet. I was in the mood for curry, and I was not disappointed. The server laid out a large beautiful plate with a generous portion. The meal smelled wonderful and was delicious. The curry was crisp and the curry flavorful. Great food, friendly professional staff... I'll be back soon!

My fiance and I love this place! We usually get level 7 or 8 and their spice is no joke! It tastes wonderful! Make sure and try to do the wait-list on Yelp ahead of time. It can get kind of long.

The food, though slightly different from their original in Japan, was still good. Prices are reasonable. The waiting time to be seated was excruciatingly long, but once we were seated, service was quick. However, I did not enjoy the place itself. It was incredibly noisy. I am aware that customers' voice volume cannot be controlled, but the background music was also way too loud. It was hard to even hear what our waitress was saying, and I couldn't talk to the people I was eating with. I don't think I'll be eating there again unless it's takeout.

It's always busy here. The curry is good. I had the pork cutlet this time. It was really tough. I should have stuck with the chicken instead. The kids meal should really be for 8 and younger. The kids meals are small in portions, enough for younger kids.
