Coco Ichibanya

No.1 curry restaurant brand in Japan. Japanese style curry with the good same taste. I ordered a 5 level spicy sauce out of 10 lev. It was more spicy than that of Japanese. Indian original foods are available too. It could be a great oasis for Japanese who lives in Gurgaon.

The concept of a Japanese curry house seemed quite novel since curry is associated with spice and India, not so much with Japan. Turned out to be quite a tasty affair. Seemed like a Japanese version of Subway with Indian wheels in that one could build up a meal by specifying quantities of food, spiciness and add ons. One could also stick with the bare minimum and still have a tasty meal of curry and rice, though the curry tasted more South East Asian than Indian. A nice change from the usual meals. Service was attentive and helpful barring one instance where they forgot my 🦐 and had to be reminded. One was treated to welcome slogans in Japanese on entry and exit.

Awesome experience. For Dinner started at 7 and there was quiet less crowd and great experience. Tasty food with good choice of variety. Happy hours till 8 and less crowd suits to go early.

The staff is very courteous. The quality of food was good. Also they are able to tweak the spice level. We received the spice levels that was requested. Children were able to eat the food well. If you like salads, I recommend the mixed salad. This was really filling and had Tuna. Quantity of food was also good. We ordered the meal with 200g of rice. Restaurant was clean. The selection of music is also great.

So we ordered Chicken Cream Spaghetti, Fried Fish and Seafood Curry, Seafood Curry (they’re two different seafood curry’s). Before this we have also tried their Chicken Cutlet Curry and Eggplant Curry all of which have won our hearts! So at first for us Indians, the Curry might taste as any usual (ramen) curry. But as you take your fifth bite, your taste buds will start developing the actual flavour of the Japanese delicacy! The curry for every dish is the same which at first, was shocking for me and sounded boring. You are asked to choose a level of spice for every curry that you order (on a scale of 10). I went for a 3 and as I like my food low spicy. But a 4-5 is perfect for people who love spicy food (tried and TASTED!). The catch here is the way they cook their curry’s main ingredient (meat/fish etc). Mine was the Fried Fish and Seafood Curry which we tried the first time and was the talk of the table. It had at least 3 different types of fishes in it including fried and cooked prawn fishes. The amount of rice with it I chose was “Standard” which was good enough for me but for people who like to eat a lot of rice may go for more rice options! The normal Seafood Curry without Fried Fish was seen to have Basa Fish in it and is a beautiful dish for Basa lovers! The Chicken Cream Spaghetti was exquisite as well! It was creamy and cheesy, just the right amount and filling as well! The spaghetti was not very sweet and there was enough chicken in it for every bite! Whatever you pay for is worth it, here! The ambience was nice and cozy and their staff is very friendly! When entering and exiting they greet you in Japanese as well, which is a very nice custom and not seen in many restaurants here that promote a certain country’s culture and food. They have an open kitchen and we were advised well by the staff as to what is best to order (including the spice levels) as well. I have included un-edited pictures of the curry so that you can see for yourself how each of them look. We have tried many Japanese delicacies before as me and my family love Asian food (Japanese and Chinese majorly) but here we enjoy the curry’s so much that half the menu has already been tried and tasted by us. If you want to taste a TRUE Japanese Curry once in your life, this place a must visit and hence the five stars!
