Curry Hyuga had long been on my culinary radar, and today, I finally had the chance to experience it. The occasion arose as I needed to pick up my partner at SFO later, and given the mere 10-minute drive from the restaurant to the airport, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to satiate my appetite and make the most of my time, rather than aimlessly circling around the airport. Conveniently, there are numerous public parking lots scattered throughout the town.The restaurant opens its doors at 11:30 am, and I arrived promptly at 11:25 am, only to find a queue already forming outside, as depicted in the photo. The attentive server, Yuki promptly greeted each customer and kept my water glasse...
Service-wise everything seemed very efficient. I arrived around 1:00PM on Sunday and put my my party of 2 on the waitlist. The machine said the wait would be at least 20 minutes. However 10 minutes later I received a text saying my table was ready. If you need to call a server there is a buzzer on the table, but they will usually catch you before you even reach for the button.On to the food...why is everything so sour?! The first few bites were ok, then it got more and more....tangy. Very unfortunate. Top 3 worst curries/omurice glaze I've ever had.Corn Potage Soup $3 if you order with omurice) was the only saving grace with its tiny little croutons.
This curry place worths the high reviews. It is hard to discern the extra-ordinariness of curry when you can buy those japanese curry blocks and cook them at home easily. The curry here is rich in flavors: sweet (I guess from onion), salty, umami, and even tangy (I guess from some fruit or vinegar). The pork katsu is also perfectly cooked. My friend likes karaage too. He said it is quite unique as well. The price is also reasonable compared to the quality of the food. The shop is quite small so please be ready to wait in line. It is not a crazy wait though. I would love to visit this place and try other dishes like Hayashi omurice as well.
I like Japanese curry dishes so I was bound to visit this place. Not a big place, but we only had to wait like 5 minutes so not a big deal.I was going to order a katsu curry dish, but once I saw the omurice, I just had to order. Although not quite as good as the ones I had in Japan, it was still satisfying. Wifey had the chicken katsu and I took a few bites. I think I enjoyed it more than she did. I was quite surprised and impressed to see a bunch of chili pepper powders. I tried the orange habanero, but didn’t put a lot (yeah, I’m weak like that lol).The prices were reasonable and it satisfied my curry cravings. Yeah, I would come back!

The chicken karaage curry is the best out of the 3 dishes we ordered. Lightly breaded tender chicken pieces that are full of flavor and juice, they paired really well with the sweet curry sauce. The katsu curry and Teishoku rice plate set are okay and the wiri wiri powder really brings the dishes up a notch! Don't bother with the corn soup, not worth the 5 bucks.
The food at this restaurant is consistently delicious! Every time I order, it is made quickly and tastes incredibly fresh and flavorful. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Japanese curry. 10/10!
The curry was amazing and the chicken was so crispy, even after being delivered in well-packaged containers.
We also ordered the corn soup that I forgot to take photo. The corn soup is so so so good!! Can’t miss it

The food was too sugary, but the employees were very friendly and welcoming.
Loved their curry and chicken dishes. The teppanji is highly recommended!!!
