I love the Curry House CoCo Ichibanya in Torrance, CA. I feel so blessed to have them opened about 2 miles from my house. One night I showed up at 9:45PM thinking they would not want to seat me because they were closing in 15 minutes. They were so nice and seated us immediately. We were practically the only ones there on a weeknight that late.

As I posted upthread, "want CoCo, come to Japan".

Man, I love that place, but I try to avoid it. That stuff is so bad for you, especially all the deep fried katsu curry... but sometimes i just can't resist
. We have one right across our office building

The one in the picture occupies a narrow store front in the Hamano-machi shopping area of Nagasaki, narrow enough that it's counter service on the first floor, table service upstairs.
Glad I could inspire a couple of CoCo visits. Sadly I'm only here for 4 days on this trip and won't be able to have another meal at CoCo before flying home tomorrow.

I'm just glad that my current home city has CoCo. But the 10pm thing happens here (Shanghai) too. And most locations here are table service only.
(Also- the menus here state that spicy level 5/5 requires a doctor's approval. Is that local or do they do that in Japan too?)

The spice scale goes to 10 not 5. No doctor's notes required in Tokyo. That is just local marketing and changing of the normal menu. Anything above 7 though and it is a bit much. Up to that level I love it though.

It would be nice if it would include list of ingredients for those of us with food allergies. Japan is very difficult for anybody with food allergies/intolerances;
if not for that, Japan is the perfect place: safe, interesting, friendly, impeccable service and organization and actually not expensive if you know how to work your way around.

Spreading the love, one Level 7 curry at a time. :-)

Even soba noodles which are made of buckwheat (not related to wheat) are sometimes mixed with wheat flour so those are no no unless I can ask specifically about the ingredients.
