Questions and answers
Do they ever answer the phone or do they just hang up the phone?
They do answer.... They are always super busy
How is the curry with veggies?
Curry is excellent with veggies. Delicious and recommended.
Is there a takeout option?
Yes there is take out
Can you buy the sauce packets directly from them?
They sell the sesame salad dressing. The curry sauce packets are only available in the restaurants in Japan or certain online retailers.
Do they have vegan options?
No. The regular curry sauce is vegetarian though.
Can you make reservations ahead of time?
No, because the restaurant is small. They seat by first come first served. When you walk in there is a podium yo the left of the register where you will need to sign in, if there is a wait.
Is this place pricey
Depends on what is pricey to you and quality of food. Food quality is great, customer service and cleanliness are mediocre. Pricing for 2 is usually about $30 (incl. tip) for my daughter and I with 2 cups of water.
Does anyone know if the chicken cutlet used here is chicken breast or thigh?
Chicken breast
May I order an extra topping ?
Yes, they usually cost extra.

Pleasant surprise First time trying Japanese curry and it was really unique, comforting and delicious. The portion of food is very adequate.The food and the waiters are exceptional The chef was rather rude in the open kitchen, who asked us to wait outside in the cold but the head waiter quickly corrected this.In summary, decor nice, food delicious (but wish they fried there chicken and pork in separate friers, to cater for halal/ kosher traditions). All in all would come here again!

I haven't been to Coco Ichibanya since 2013 - in Kamata, Tokyo! Took me right back, amazing curry. Loved every bit of it. Staff are super friendly too!

Great place! Very tasty and well balanced curry. Staff friendly and helpful. Nice decor. Expect to wait a while. Tap water tastes awful.

CoCo's is something that should be eaten at every opportunity. Service at this location is always prompt and professional, ordering streamlined so you can order in any country. The price is affordable and their entrees are such a comfort food no matter where you are in the world. I never went to a CoCo's I didn't love.

The food here is amazing. Having been to Coco Ichibanya in Japan, I was not expecting the food to be of the same quality, but it was. Crispy golden chicken in delicious creamy curry. Note that this isn't really a Katsu Curry. It has it's own unique flavour. It's creamy and can be spicier if you want it to be (spice goes from 1-5 in London, but 1-10 in Japan). The spice in the London branch isn't too bad (even the max level), but the ones in Japan are much spicier. The decor in the London is also different to the Japanese restaurants. It much more modern. The ones in Japan have a slightly dated interior having been around since the 1980s, however, I feel that this old style really adds to its charm. Also, every single restaurant in Japan plays this kind of easy-listening jazz music, that gives it a very relaxing feel. Also, one other thing, don't be put off if you see cheese in the curry sauce on the menu. Try it, it's amazing. Can't wait for this place to reopen.

Apparently this is the Japanese equivalent of a fast food joint, but instead of burgers,. It serves Japanese curry. The katsu chicken was super crispy and yummy. Prices were reasonable. Will come back!
