Coco Ichibanya (已結業)

I wanted to try the mushroom cream omu rice but decided that it was too much for my weak tummy.looking around at the other tables, it seemed like everyone else had a katsu order.i decided to try something else.the seafood option.curry sauce of course.with standard portion rice.The curry sauce was a lot darker than usual. And the smell of seafood was evident once the dish was brought to our table.mmm. try it yourself!…查看更多

katsu cheese curry!Technically, since cheese was an add-on, I could've had it with any other curry rice order but that thought didn't occur to me until I overheard a diner making an order for one of their rice sets with cheese. Hunger took over from the time I stood in line till I sat down. Since the only order on the menu that had cheese in the dish was katsu cheese curry... so that, my order shall be.Less rice of 150g and a $1 discount. Very nicely done! And a Level 2 for spice. I didn't know what to make of a spice level because if you've seen those instant curry cubes, mild and spicy all taste the same to me. But I was pleasantly surprised by a level of actual chilli hot type spiciness for my level 2. I added on some of the spice condiment on the table as well and manually increased the level of spiciness. Suffice to say, I enjoyed my curry. A lot. Ate it all up! And the pickles too. Crunchy sweet. Was a lovely accompaniment to the curry. I saw the waitstaff topping up the pickle containers non-stop for the time that we were there. Seems like everyone else thinks it goes well with curry too! The katsu however, was more batter than actual meat. Perhaps I should've just taken the Omu Kinoko (Creamed mushroom omu rice) instead.…查看更多

This is the first outlet of Coco Ichibanya that I have went to and I must say it did not leave me a VERY good impression.1st: There were not enough workers to serve us promptly, partly may be due to the full house that evening.2nd: The Food was not presented properly and the portion of meat was abit minimal to my opinion. 5 pieces of beef cubes with curry and omelette rice?3rd: Price wise was okay i guess, The Omelette was my ideal type of omelette, fluffy and creamy, not too hard and dry.Would recommend this place to those who wants to try out curry rice :) …查看更多

My first visit to try this Coco Ichibanya - the world best curry. I would agree so! For the first time after eating Japanese style curry, I actually crave for more of it. I ordered the sausage curry rice which costs $11.00. As I picked my rice portion to be half size, the price was reduced by $1.00. Cool right? You can tailor your own portion and choose the level of spicy-ness. I chose the "SUPER HOT" - 2nd hottest range. Hmm... to me, i think it was still not spicy yet but my colleagues felt that it was very spicy. They chose "mild hot" and "hot" for their portions. Worth a try if you have not been here to eat yet. Reasonable pricing. Trying new food can keep you young! :) …查看更多

heard that coco ichibanya is a curry house from Japan that opened their only outlet at Singapore lately. The curry flavour is quite nice and fragrant, but i dont think i will go eat this too often coz i dont really like the Japanese style curry. They have the choice of level for us to choose, and i chose the level 4 spiciness! It sounds mad but exciting, the curry is quite spicy if you finish the whole bowl, but still ok if you tried one mouthful only. But i recommend to choose level 3 or 2 coz too spicy will cover the original curry flavour. For the chicken katsu curry, the katsu is crispily battered and deep fried, but the curry i ordered is too spicy. for the omelette rice, the egg is so silky and fluffy and nice combo with the curry also! And the beef is nice, tender and thinly sliced. …查看更多

The crunchy Japanese Red Pickles that goes very well with the Curry dishes. Pork Culet Omelette Rice - It is simple a wow! The steamed white rice is wrapped with an omelette. Try a spoonful of the Omelette together with the rice and covering it with generous scoop of curry..it's so delicious!!!The Pork Cutlet has a crispy coat and the meat is juicy. Eating it on its own or dipping it into the thick curry is wonderful!Beef Curry with steamed white rice. It is a great meal if you wish to have non fried items for a change. The displays at the Coco Ichibanya at 313 Somerset - Very Tempting indeed! Will consider their Prawns and Sausages Curry during my next visit. The ambience is nice and cozy. Japanese Curry Lovers should not give this place a miss.…查看更多

There are many good and bad comments that I have read about Ichiban Sushi. However I have seen more positive comments though. For Japanese food, I love the salmon most. It's very fresh and you can order it with other type of fish too. I was not really like this lobster sushi.. It's was quite oily to me and I prefer it hot as it's displayed at the conveyor belt so may be it has been there for long. Overall, it was quite nice having the salmon^^ I would love any Japanese restaurant that has nice salmon for me to eat!…查看更多

Back to Coco Ichibanya! Really love their hashed beef curry with omelette rice. I kept craving for this ever since my first try. Got hooked on it! The beef this time tasted nicer and softer. Do give it a try!! I would prefer them to add more curry though. I ended up having a few mouthful of dry rice without sauce. Also, this time i added their cream croquette as well. The outside is really crispy and the inside is smooth and tasty! …查看更多

I had pineapple icy cold drink. It was topped with a huge load of ice at the top. Scoop and eat it like ice cream. Yummy! For my curry rice, i had the normal ones with cream croquette. The outer layer was very crispy and tasty and the inside was creamy and delicious. I can't taste much of the meat except thick oozing cream. The texture of the curry was really great too. It was smooth and awesome!…查看更多

Tried their curry rice since i'm craving for curry related japanese food. I had this curry egg omelette rice. You can choose the spicy level which is great for everyone. I had the mild spicy one with mushrooms in cream sauce. The egg was soft and delicious. It was a tad bland though. The rice was soft and tasty as well. The main highlight is their curry sauce which is really flavourful! Yumms!!…查看更多

Pork Cutlet Curry with Cheese my friend wanted to try the curry at it's average level, so that she could know what the "normal" curry tasted like. It turned out to be a wiser choice, as L3 curry wasn't as peppery as L4, and tasted more like the usual Japanese curry we were used to. The curry was thick, though we noted that there's also no vegs.. making the dish a little miserable looking too. The pork cutlet was surprisingly tough and not juicy (in fact, it looked very, very dried up), making it a chore to chew & swallow. Having the long strands of shredded cheese around the cutlet helped to "juice-ened" it up a little, but taste-wise, you could do with or without the cheese, as the curry flavour over-powered it. she said she'll never order this dish again as the meat was just too tough, and after tucking in 2 mouthfuls, I had to agree with her verdict. sad…查看更多

Known as the Curry King with over 1,275 Japanese Curry outlets globally, CoCo Ichibanya Curry House with 30 years of experience, finally open its first outlet in Singapore. There was a long queue when I went down to check out the place. I have to wait for about half an hour. The place is quite small, my advice is not to go with a big group.Do not be overwhelmed by the extensive menu. Ordering is pretty simple here. Just follow the 4 simple steps,1. Choice the Curry. Select the curry from the menu.2. Select the quantity of rice.3. Spice adjustment level4. Select ToppingsJapanese Curry usually lacked the piquancy of Indian Curry but not for the curry at CoCo Ichibanya. I can taste the familiar spices of Indian curry in the Pork Cutlet Curry with Cheese. The combination of Mozzarella and curry lifted the savouriness of the dish. The pork cutlet breaded crust was crispy but the meat was a bit tough. A little personal disappointment is the used of long grain rice instead of Japanese rice.The Omelette Hasded Beef Curry is served with vegetable curry which is not hot. It actually had a tad tangy taste. With the perfect runny omelette wrapping around the rice, it was a beautiful dish both in taste and sight.…查看更多

Coco Ichibanya in Singapore! I heard from my friends that the curry in Coco Japan tasted way better than those in Singapore. I still gave it a try anyway. It is actually really delicious! I can't imagine how much nicer it will taste in Japan. I ordered Hashed beef curry with omelette rice. There's no choice of customization on the level of spiciness for this dish. It tasted mild spicy though. The beef were a little hard but the curry is fantastic!!! The service crews were attentive and impeccable too!…查看更多

This is their curry rice. Their curry is very famous and special. I love their curry a lot as it is unique and different. Rice alone is blend and not nice to eat. But, the curry miraculously made the rice so flavourful and i think i could eat two big bowl of it. The chicken cutlet is crispy and the meat is tender. The dish may look simple and cheap but its taste is totally new and delicious!…查看更多
