The most delicious bowl of Japanese Curry we ever had across America!! The Hinoya curry is mouthwatering and delicious. We can testify as native asians that this is as good as it gets!

This was my second time at Nippon Curry and it was as good as my first time! I’m not sure why this place isn’t busier, but this OTC joint serves up some of the best Japanese curry dishes in the Bay Area!

Always consistent with their curry. Of all the Japanese curry restraunts I reviewed in the SF, this is my favorite. Just took a off a star in atmosphere because there were some flies flying around our food. Other than that, I’d give it a full 5 Stars.

So far the best Japanese curry I’ve found. I only wish they would have spice options. However they do have a vegetarian roux which is spicier, and even if you don’t want to go with that you can always just pile on the tōgarashi. Very nice staff and a lovely experience. (Tonkatsu curry pictured)

This is one of my favorite curry places in the Bay Area! When I heard there was a Hinoya in SF, I thought to myself, “like the one in Japan?” And oh boy, I can’t believe they brought it here! I would say it’s not as good as the ones in Japan, but it’s still really good and I would recommend anyone to come here! They have a diverse menu and a lot of options to choose from! Can’t go wrong coming here!

This place was great and the food came out quick! The curry is super flavorful and they have vegetarian and non vegetarian curry bases. I usually don’t like the pickles but they are perfect here! 10/10

my favorite curry will always be Coco Curry from Japan. Eversince then, I’ve been in the hunt for the best tasting curry, and Hinoya Curry from Nippon is probably the best one i had in CA. Although the pork katsu is a bit chewy but the karaage is very good and crispy.

Eat here! Simple as that. The beef curry is absolutely delicious. The standard order curry chicken is good, but we’ve upgraded to the karage chicken and it makes this 10/10 dish an 11/10. 3 pieces is plenty if you’re hungry, but if you’re like me, I let my stomach do the ordering and add 2 additional pieces. Eat here or get delivery (our normal way to eat it), you won’t be disappointed! Note: average delivery time from here has been 10-20 minutes which is A+ in our books too!
