Curry Up Cafe

See like, here’s the thing. If you haven’t eaten here yet you’re doing yourself a massive disservice. Sushi and Thai food cover Ventura Blvd like sprinkles on a soft serve cone. But there’s only ONE place you can get incredible Japanese curry and Korean fried chicken wings done right. Don’t waste your time getting soggy tempura shrimp and another mediocre California roll when you could be eating this. The chef is cool. Did I mention everything is amazing? Also he has an original NES to play while you wait so...why are you still reading this? Go now!

This place makes you want to like it. Inspired fusion options, and a funky flair that makes it seem like s hip place to try. Sadly, it's all the worst cliches of a hole in the wall restaurant. The chef personally serves the guests with a reverence for the food he has made. Unfortunately, he misses all the details, especially the ones that matter most. The cheese fries were stale, but the Korean beef on top saved it. The paper used underneath it, and for my burger, frustratingly melts upon contact with the grease of the food it is served in. The condiments were so old, it scares one to use them. The ramen burger was made with flavorless soggy noodles, and the burger patty was the only thing that tasted decent, though no better than a backyard bbq. I feel this place could've been great had the chef only put in the effort to make it so. I even spent 10 minutes trying to coex him out of the kitchen so I could get a bill to pay. He ignored me, so I left my best guess as to what I owed bas

Great little place, clean and super staff. Stayed late just for me. Limited free parking in the back, loads of paid parking in the back, on street is dicey. Food taste great and it's definitely Hawaiian Japanese flavors. 5 stars for no styrene package.
