Curryfornia - Torrance

NOT vegetarian friendly! The curry has meat in it. The potato salad has meat in it. That's not the reason for the 1-star review, though.Ugh, I had such amazingly high hopes for this place and was so utterly disappointed. Spent over $20 on a curry dish and didn't end up eating any of it.The rice was undercooked and hard in the middle. I ordered the mild curry, but it was just as spicy as my husband's hot curry, so could eat any of it. Also, it doesn't say anywhere on the menu, but the curry is filled with meat.The potato salad doesn't say on the menu, but it also has meat. The curry that was meant for the vegetarian went to waste.I ordered the tonkatsu. The inside was hard and impossible to chew. The breading was mushy and undercooked.$3 to add on a tablespoon of pickles.Doesn't help that the owner/chef/operator is super rude.Never coming back here again.

The automated service was excellent and also the self-ordering service worked excellent the food was delicious everything I ordered was wonderful and I am told by my daughter that if we would have went past 6:00 it would have been a two and a half hour wait so I guess this place has a large following and no wonder why it's deliciousFood: 5/5

Some of the best katsu curry I've ever had. The curry is homemade and stewed with chunks of beef. No seating so take it to go, but it's worth it.

Japanese katsu curry is a super nostalgic comfort meal for me (think Anton Ego in Ratatouille), and this place does it justice. I would go as far as to say that it is likely the *best* curry I have ever had. This being said, a meal from here may come with a substantial price tag depending on what you get. Pretty much everything is customizable, from size to heat to toppings. You're able to get up to three of their free toppings options our family's go to combinations include cheese (it might be mozzarella or maybe like a mild white cheddar), boiled egg, and the fukujinzuke. If you're a fan of cutlet, their tonkatsu is absolutely freaking delicious, with the crispy panko exterior and succulent meaty interior (but adds $4.50 to your bill). Their version of hot has some heat but the richness of the beefy curry roux makes the heat more tolerable. If you're a spice seeker, go for the extra hot. A large order from here is substantial enough to cover two meals for me. With all of our little upgrades and accoutrements, eating here costs my family about $20 a person in the end. Is it worth it? Absolutely.
