Ok.. I frequent these two restaurants probably 3 or 4 times a week, and I alternate between them. I moved to Vegas a year ago and was really missing it. There’s no japanese curry there. Now I’m back in LA on business for only a few months, and I’m there almost daily.

For the curry flavor, Hurry Curry is better. But Curry House has some other nice entres (such as Steak Ju). And I alternate to mix it up.

Other noteworthy things is that Curry House has a location in downtown LA and several other cities (one in O.C.) and Hurry Curry has one in Pasadena.

PLEASE! - One of these two restaurants - Please open a location in Henderson, NV!!!!!

Omg, I miss Hurry curry, I used to go there all the time but since I moved to Palo Alto I’m missing out–does anyone have a similar recipe to hurry curry?

Even though I’ve only been to Hurry Curry about 3 times and Curry House more than 10 times, I for some reason like Curry House a lot better. I can’t really put my finger on it but I think that the servings are larger (more Americanized) at Curry House than Hurry Curry. I love eating very spicy food and it’s true that both of their “spicy” curry is pretty weak. They are trying to infuse it with American standards so that’s why Curry House is not so “really really spicy”. Plus once a year Curry House has these “lucky bags” which are $20, but they contain a $20 gift certificate and free coupons for their off the hook salad dressing and discounted coupons on misc. asian foods found at the markets (tofu). Everyone knows that parking sucks in the Hurry Curry parking lot too. By the way, I’m almost done finishing up my Chicken Katsu Curry (spicy) and I’m quite satisfied.

One of the company’s missions for curry at Curry House is “Adapting Japanese recipes to American palates”. So if its not spicy for you, it because they want to introduce it to bland American taste buds. Take your wary curry-virgin buddies to CH and then move them onto better restaurants.

I agree, there are a lot of good finds in that mini mall. I have eaten at Little Hong Kong multiple times, mostly for takeout when I am in a hurry. I find the service there to be incredibly freindly, I believe that the owner is in there quite a bit and is quick to help out when it gets busy.

Just went to Hurry Curry last week. It was good. I like the place just next door, too, Little Hong Kong, I think? I have been pleased with everywhere I’ve eaten in that minimall.

i agree with you, hurry curry has better japanese-style curry. since i’m a japanese who grew up eating curry (over rice, not on spaghetti - i guess i’m more of a traditionalist than you), here’s my 2 cents for all that’s worth…curry house is owned by house curry company, and thus their curries tasted identical to boxed house curries sold in any japanese market. hurry curry’s roux has more complex flavor, with plenty of grilled onions and maybe a hint of apple, and i can tell it’s homemade, not store-bought. i’m a bit disappointed in hurry curry’s presentation after they changed owners recently, though - i had to ask for condiments, and the fish cutlets were a bit tougher than i remember. go for curry house only if you have a crowd who can’t make up their minds about what kind of japanese food to eat (since curry house do have a good range of selection), otherwise go hurry curry!
