Abiko Curry is a Japanese curry restaurant that I had visited before in Koreatown way back in September of 2018. We were near the neighborhood, and I thought to check it out again. I remembered the curry and flavors being one of my favorite Japanese curry places in the city, but I also remembered that the “medium spicy” level was uncomfortably intense. This time around, I want to give it another try to see if I can get a better feel for it.

This place was such a gimmick. Very showy like Benihanas but way worse. Food was just ok and super pricey. They have bday celebrations… super weird.

But it’s CLOSED.

Pretty good kaiseki (~$180).

Japanese lunch was cheap and good. But this place is CLOSED now replaced by Menkoi Sato, a ramen place.

The spicy pork tonkatsu was pretty good. One of the better Japanese curry places in the city.

Terrible “sushi burrito”

This place is CLOSED for obvious reasons.

Good lunch spot and fast. Cheap.

Really good Japanese breakfast place.

This place was ok. Pasta was good, but it needs protein. The meat cheese board was just ok.

Had to make reservations 30 days ahead of time. Food was decent. Interior is nice. Homemade pasta. Good date place. Slightly overrated. Very similar to Culver City Bucato (before it shuttered) a few years ago.
