Best Japanese curry in town, hands down.It can be hard to choose what to order because the menu is overwhelming. But I do have some recommendations - the items we’ve been ordering pretty much once a week for the past few months (I know, we’re obsessed)Chicken cutlet with cheese - I recommend you request to separate the cutlet (this goes for the pork, too) to make sure it doesn’t get soggy from sitting in that delicious curry sauce for too long. The pork cutlet used to be my go-to but nowadays I prefer the chicken because it has less fat and is also (hopefully!) healthier. But then I make up for that by adding in an order of cheese. Yum.Cheese hamburg with mushroom - cheese really is the recurring theme here. It tastes amazing paired with the savory hamburg and mushroomsOther favorites in our rotation include the beef curry and thin-sliced beef curry. Both are cheaper but smaller servings compared to the other proteins on the menu

Coco Ichi was first introduced to me by my mother-in-law when we went to Japan. I immediately fell in love with it. I never imagined that you can serve curry like that. 😅 I was happy when I learned that there is one in BGC. The place is nice, big dinning space and the food tastes authentic. My go to order is the Shrimp Cutlet with tartar sauce and the Cheese Hamburger.

Being the reputable katsu-curry chain it is, CoCo does not disappoint. Amazing how the execution of food and the service standards are very identical not just across Manila branches but even between chains in Tokyo and Taipei. A sign of a truly seasoned and experienced establishment and brand. Service is streamlined, portion is generous, food is good and delivers at value for your money. No complaints! The restaurant group who is handling this chain is doing a very good job 👏🏽

Fried Chicken Salad, Pork Cutlet Omelette Curry and some Naan Bread on the side! Oh man did we underestimate their serving size. We were so full and our tummies surely happy. I'm a huge fan of naan and it went so well with the curry. Salad was so good too. Curry sauce was great but the katsu could've been better in my opinion. Still I enjoyed our meal.●●●●○ 4/5Huge portions

For the love of all things japanese! 🇯🇵 Here we go! So we tried this Japanese Curry place for lunch today. First of all, I think curry is an acquired taste because it lingers for a while after you eat it. Anyways, i was excited when the plate hit our table the plating was very simple and looked very appetizing. I ordered the "Pork Cutlet Omelette Curry". You can choose from level 1-10 of how spicy you want your curry to be. Ofcourse I only tried Level 1 😋 It had a kick but wasn't enough for me to ask for lots of water and look for ice cream 🤣 The waitress even said that Level 4 was like 8 times level 1! Scared me. Lol. The taste of their curry was a bit sweeter than ours and had herbs that i can't seem to pinpoint. Maybe using actual curry leaves made the sauce very potent. Going back to the taste it was quite good. The pork tonkatsu was tender and the omu rice was really good! I loved how fluffy the egg was and the rice was cooked perfectly they all blended well together in each bite! Overall the experience was great and would try it again sometime. I was overwhelmed by the serving it was a really big bowl and I had a real big tummy after. Lol! But then again i had the "umay" factor after due to the curry lingering in my tastebuds and i could still smell it. Haha.

On a day when my taste buds was craving for Indian spices and yet wanted to try a different cuisine, I got attracted to this place just because of it's simplicity in the ambience. The moment I entered, there was this strong aroma of amazing spices which made my day. I ordered for a simple stewed chicken curry and it was worth every penny. The best part of this restaurant is you can choose the level of spiciness and the quantity of your rice as per your appetite. This is a highly recommended place if you want a very satisfying meal.

Best curry place!I really really love japanese curry! It's my comfort food whenever i'm stressed out. The flavorful thick sauce feels like a taste of paradise in every spoonful.I first tried Coco Ichibanya when I was in Japan and I was not aware that they have a branch near my office. During my first visit, I had the vegetable curry with pork cutlet, standard spice and standard rice (yes, you can pick your spice level and get more rice haha). I upgraded it to a set meal (80php)- where you get to choose to two add ons ; salad, soup, ice cream and/or any drink. First bite already had me thinking "This is my new favorite place!" I was not disappointed as it taste just like what I had in Japan. 💕On my next visit, I tried customizing my meals so I ordered a spinach curry (260php), spice level 2 and Sausage curry at spice level 3. I was amazed on how you can feel the zing! of the spice between 2 & 3. I think I can only handle it at 3 tho. But I think I might trt spice 4 next time and just add cheese to the curry. (Yes you can do that, there's a lot of customizing options you can try!)Love the location too, the place always looks neat and I appreciate the calm vibes.💖MUST TRY GUYS!

One of the best curry we have ever tasted minus the unsatisfying smell and after taste. 👌🏻😋 perfect for those who’ll love a little spice in their meals and a little fire in their mouths.

I wan't fond of eating curry until I tried CoCo Ichibanya on Uptown Mall. It's so good! And you can customize your order from the amount of rice, spiciness of curry and the toppings you want to go with it. My go-to order is tonkatsu and egg. Their croquette is also good.

Best Japanese curry in the world!Ok, I'm a little biased as I'm addicted to Coco curry. This restaurant is the first place we've had Japanese curry together. I've been enjoying Japanese curry for years but this restaurant helped me share that addiction, err I mean love, of the dish to the woman I love.This restaurant is rather small but of all the times we've been, it's never been busy. Most of the seating are upstairs and sometimes it's hard to get service since the kitchen is at the ground floor. Not always though. It's also as posh as most Coco Ichibanya stores next only to the one at Estancia (that one is super posh).If you're ever in the area, this is a must try.
