coco ichibanya

i loved the curry in this place so much, i felt that i really needed to make a review. really wanted to visit this place since and i do not have any regrets. ordered the pork cutlet omelette curry rice with tomato soup and it did not disappoint. i can't tolerate spicyfoodso i ordered it as "mild". you would literally finish the whole meal. from the sauce, to the way the eggs were cooked, to the rice down to the milk tea we ordered (great pair when eating curry, must try), everything was just spot-on for me. i will definitely try the gratin when i come back and order it with their salad (try it with their citrus vinaigrette) please do visit the place! i really, really recommend it!!

not ever gonna come back. bad customer service and not delicious more like yucky and gross. the only curry house that made me not like curry anymore. i went with my friend here but we just experienced bad accomodation and seriously ewwfoodand not to mention theirfoodprices is too expensive and yet it taste so awful.

a bit pricey but thefoodis definitely tasty 😋

one word: currrrrryyyy. greatfoodand ambience. we will definitely come back here and try other level of spiciness.

my go to comfort restaurant in greenhills. amazingfoodand customer service. try their curry with an extra serving of cheese, it's the best!

i like the ambience in greenhills branch. the place is clean and the crews are polite. thefoodis definitely a must try! i like the katsu+egg curry. they also have salads.

very satisfying straight up curry place. possibly a comfortfoodfor us, we love how uncomplicated the menu is. it's either just yakiniku or pork cutlet for me and my wife. each time, we leave with full bellies and satisfied cravings.

let's curry our life with curry!

i ordered the naan curry and standard size of vegetable curry. i felt like i only ate carbs and starch, since the vegetable curry had a lot of potatoes. the naan curry was a bit bare with plain curry, fries and naan bread. the fries were thick and crispy, the bread was soft, with some parts a bit stiff. the curry tasted good with everything and their pickled red ginger or benishoga took the dishes to another level.

i liked that you can choose the level of spice, the amount of rice (yay for lessfoodwaste), and the toppings. i tried natto for the first time and it was actually not bad, though my sisters didnt like it. slimey and fragrant, at least for me. i only tried level one spice and realized that i'm not a spicy person. nose was getting watery from it.

i love the interior with spice books and spices displayed around. i like their selection of vegetable dishes too. order was not that fast, but everything was good.

i recently gave coco ichibanya-rockwell a perfect score. when i craved for the samefoodin gh area, i wasn't entirely disappointed, but i felt quite sad that quality isn't the same in their two branches.

i got the pork cutlet omelet with curry spice level 4. when the dish was served, i knew something was different. the egg omelet which was supposed to be creamy and fluffy was a little bit over. the pork meat was a little bit way too fatty compared to the ones they serve in rockwell. also, the spice level 4 did not give any spicy kick at all. normally, i would at least perspire a bit or feel the spiciness on my tongue.

i am not saying it was a bad experience. i'm still giving it a 4.0, it was still a great dish. it's just that, compared to their rockwell branch, it is not as great.

food: if you like spicyfoodthen you will love it here. they got different levels of spiceness. the serving is okay but because of how good thefoodis you’ll feel that it’s not enough.

service: very kind and attentive.

price: quite expensive. but thefoodis worth it.

i've never really enjoyed eating curry dishes before, but this one is different. if you don't like curry and you don't think you'll like it here, please set that aside and give it a try. super good and worth it. i've also tried delivering through grab food. thefoodwas packed so well and still tasted like i was at the restaurant. must try!

i can’t count the number of times i’ve spotted coco ichibanya and told myself “yes, i’ll visit there soon”, or dad telling me he’ll take me out to eat here but us never actually getting around to do it. so finally, after years of putting it off, a dinner with friends ended up with the three of us at my friend’s favorite go-to restaurant.

since i was a tonkatsu fan but not familiar with curry meals, my friend decided to recommend dishes i could try out. he recommended i try my favorite pork tonkatsu, and then ask for additional cheese with the curry. it was the best decision ever!

i chose the regular/standard curry version as i’m not fond of spicy food, but the spices from the curry still gave the meal a kick. 😂 regular water refills is a necessity in such a situation. the cheese, as i mentioned earlier, was the best addition to the curry. the cheese added extra flavors and gave the curry sauce an extra soft gooey flavor when mixing it with the crisp tonkatsu.

the prices at coco ichibanya are affordable and reasonable considering the ingredients used in the dishes. servings are large so expect to satisfy your appetite when eating here.

service here was also okay. we arrived an hour before closing time so there weren’t a lot of people left inside the establishment. thefoodwas promptly served. my only extra thought for the visit was that coco ichibanya should consider leaving pitchers or jugs of water at each table, or upon request by guests. i had to call servers’ attention each time i downed my glass to stave off the curry’s spices. getting the staff’s attention is not always easy.

overall, i really enjoyed the trip to coco ichibanya and would really like to go back for another (food)trip.

place/staff: comfy booths and clean; staff were nice and accommodating
food:foodarrived at approx 20mins. ramen was very good, not too salty or heavy on the taste, meat was a bit on the dry side, noddles very firm.. katsu curry crispy and tender

reminds me of the curry in japan. homesick. great place andfoodand ambiance and generous serving. it’ll do more than satisfy your craving for curry. pricing is worth it.

we had dinner here before watching a movie. thefoodwas so good especially since i'm a fan of curry omurice. the regular meal was a little too big for me so i had some leftover rice, while my boyfriend was very satisfied with the portion.

i like the well-lit minimalist ambience. servers were very accommodating.

definitely coming back!
