Curry Hyuga

In a cold rainy night, Japanese curry will be a perfect food to warm ourselves. If you want an authentic Japanese curry, this is the place. I used to go to the one in Burlingame, but it always had lines of people waiting. Luck me that they have one in SFO. Last Friday was cold and raining hard and I wanted to have Japanese curry for dinner. I wanted to order to go, but I knew the quality will not be the same as fresh off the kitchen. I made an effort to come here by take a bus. I was right to come in person to have this amazing curry fried pork with rice. The portion of the pork was relatively big and nicely fried. I also had fried potato and corn soup as well. Crispy on the outside and tender in the inside. Same as fried potato. The night was cold, I should have asked to make the soup hotter. They also have little bottles of different levels of hot pepper spices on tables. Each bottle has a label telling you the level (1-5) of the hotness. Ghost pepper needs to be requested because that's the hottest. My suggestion is to try a little bit first before you decide you go crazy on it like I did with ghost pepper for the first time. I totally underestimated it. I sweated like a dog. I learned my lesson. Parking could be difficult especially at nights. It's close to an entrance of a freeway, so traffic can be expected. The services were great and I enjoyed talking to a guy whose in charge of that place. One thing I learned about this business was that the majority of food except rice, lettuce, sliced carrots, was prepped in a same place where all the food and curry are delivered to SFO, Burlingame, and Cupertino. That's why the quality of the curry and food are very consistent. Yes. It could be more money spent on the business, but to me as a former business owner, I would do the same to keep the good quality consistent. I definitely will come back to have some more. I HIGHLY recommend this place. Yes it's hard to find parking, but we gotta put some effort in order to have some good quality of Japanese curry. If you live in SFO, take a bus. If you drive, go a bit farther for parking.

I ordered their Karaage Curry Rice Entree, which features caramelized onion curry served with shredded cabbage, creamy potato salad, and Fukujin pickles. We also tried their Teppanji, sizzling chicken with onion-infused namban sauce, which was really flavorful and tender. For those who love spice, Curry Hyuga offers five different options: Bird's eye, serrano pepper, jalapeno pepper, pequin pepper, and wiri wiri pepper. Personally, I found the wiri wiri pepper and bird's eye powder to be exceptional choices. Their spiciness elevates the curry to a whole new level, enhanced by the unique fragrance of the peppers!

Simple food done well. Katsu curry and soba portions are huge and we couldn't finish both. The curry for katsu and soba are different, with the soba version being more soupy with a strong dashi (bonito) flavor. Grilled veggies are very good too. They have different kinds of chili powders with strength 1 (jalapeno) to 6 (habanero), all tasty.

Thrilled to have a new Japanese curry spot practically in my backyard! This cute little gem, just a short walk from my house, is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. The cozy space, however, has limited seating which could mean a wait at times, but luckily we were seated right away. We started with some bites of karrage and a delicious corn potage soup, both of which I’d order again. Then I dove into the pork katsu-don. The portion was incredibly generous, with a perfectly crispy panko-crusted pork cutlet nestled in a rich, flavorful curry. The accompanying sides - a refreshing sunomono salad and a steaming bowl of miso soup - great complements to the meal. The only thing keeping this dish from a perfect score was the pork itself, which leaned a touch dry. A bit more juiciness in the meat would have sent it over the top. My partner had the tonkatsu pork curry and agreed with my sentiments. Overall, this new spot is a winner. Friendly service, delicious curry, and generous portions (I barely ate half my meal, it was huge!) make it a must-try, especially for those evenings when you crave a comforting, flavorful meal close to home. Pro-tip, ask for the spices. You’ll get a selection of heat from levels 1-6. Level 5 was my fav!

The tonkatsu set w/ miso sauce and mentaiko shiso cream pasta were both delicious and an incredible value!! <$20/plate for a yummy, filling meal in an upbeat atmosphere with amazing service? Yes, please! I am very surprised this place isn’t packed. I’ll be going back frequently.

We were surprised and delighted to see a new curry spot open in our favorite old curry spot (Izakaya Roku 😭). The serving you get is pretty large and the curry is dark but delicious. If I lived in sf this would absolutely be on my regular dining list.

Absolutely delicious pork katsu curry, with a hearty, creamy cause and a mountain of rice and cabbage, and a side of creamy potatoes.

Such great options and portions. Feels like the add-ons can satisfy two meals! The curry is also very tasty.
