Demiya - San Jose

I went to this restaurant with my sister for lunch on a weekday. When we arrived, there was only one other group of people there. We ordered by scanning a QR code and checked in.

The ordering process at this restaurant is very convenient with a 9/10 rating. Customers can easily scan the QR code to place their order, however, they are required to input their credit card information online.

The curry at this restaurant is incredibly delicious! The only downside is the long waiting times, but if you don't mind the limited menu options, it's worth waiting about 30 minutes.

The katsu and curry at this restaurant are amazing. The meat is crispy and juicy, the rice is fluffy and hot, and the curry is flavorful. Make sure to save room for 7leaves afterwards. It is recommended to order ahead for the best experience, even if dining in. There is a parking lot in front of the restaurant, making it easy to find a spot.

This restaurant only allows online ordering, even for dine-in. There is a fine balance to when you should place your order online. When you arrive, it is likely that you won't get a table right away and the food will take at least 30 minutes to come out. If you order for dine-in, you may get your food before getting a seat. If you order to-go, a table might open up and you may regret not ordering for dine-in. However, you can always switch your order to dine-in if your to-go order isn't ready yet. The wait isn't too bad considering the quality of the food. The katsu is perfectly fried and the tegone cheese hamburger curry plate was a pleasant surprise in terms of quality and taste. Definitely worth a try! This is one of the best curry spots in the bay area.
