Coco Ichibanya Curry House

Coco Ichibanya is a curry house that just opened in Torrance. They have 1,400 locations worldwide. Currently, they have locations in Irvine, Brentwood, and Koreatown. Sandi and I tried it a few weeks ago after Mertz had a whiff of it while her son had it for dinner. It took us awhile to decide what to get because the menu was quite extensive.


The pictures helped a lot in the process of ordering. They have a chart that shows the level of spiciness. We picked level two. I ordered the Chicken Cutlet and Sandi had the Pork Cutlet which we intended to split. They arrived with an abundance of curry sauce. They were both delicious but we both thought the chicken was better and most tender. The level two was still too spicy for us. I also thought that it might be a good idea to ask for the sauce on the side as it overpowered the rice, that was just my opinion. While waiting for our order I couldn't help but notice there was something stuck to all the tables. It looked like a doorbell. I asked our server about it and he did confirm that they were buzzers for when we needed something. What a clever idea. The question was would someone come or will it be like being in the hospital and nobody comes running in when one pushed the buzzer. We did put it to the test when we wanted our check. I pushed the button and someone came right away!



There are numerous items on the menu we would like to try next time. The Baked Keema Cheese French Fries looked too good. So did the Chicken Cutlet Nan Pizza.


Coco Ichibanya is located at 2455 Sepulveda Blvd. Unit C in Torrance, California.

  1. Oh, yes, the wonderful aroma of this curry - amazing! My son ordered this as takeout and the curry sauce was separate from the cutlet and rice. I agree, Karina, that that’s a better idea, so as not to overpower the food.
