One my go-to favorites for Curry! Shame though that they have so few branches, especially near the South.
Their menu is full of curry, Pork Katsu Curry, Chicken Katsu Curry, Veggie Curry, Omelette Curry, and even Cheese Curry! My favorite is the Pork Katsu curry to stay. The katsu is tender and crunchy even if drowned in the sauce. The omelette is VERY fluffy and definitely changes the experience compared to eating plain rice. Lastly the highlight, the curry sauce, flavor is just right (not too strong) and you get to choose the spicyness level. There's a lot of sauce on the plate but its not overwhelming and I even find myself actually wishing there was more.
Service is very good! They have free condiments such as pickled ginger to add flavor to the dish. The servers are fast and attentive, they refill your water even without asking. The place is a bit tight though and some parts tend to get a bit warm. Thankfully, I haven't experienced any large crowds here even during weekday lunchtimes.
I highly recommend this place if you are a curry lover! I hope that they would open more branches especially in the South.

Being an authentic Japan restaurant, I had high expectations. When I tried it I find that their curry is different to what I am used to. I like my curry more on the coconut side and very creamy. I like the rice that comes with every dish, it’s Authentic Japanese. The wait staff was nice and friendly.
Another favorite! Very happy to see that they have multigrain rice as an option now. Their curry pales in comparison to the original in Japan but still very good honestly, especially this branch! Their sausages are so good! I typically order the vegetable curry with multigrain rice and it makes a perfect lunch or dinner that isn’t very unhealthy at all.
While I understand that a score of 5.0 is hard to merit, I’d justify this rating objectively. If you are craving for katsu curry dishes, this is your place to go. If you are not, no matter what dish you try, you simply won’t appreciate it.
I had the omurice with pork katsu and spicy curry (level 4) dish. The pork was battered and cooked perfectly, it was hot and crunchy all throughout, without being oily. The Japanese rice was cooked well, that you won’t be able to stop munching on it even if you’re on a diet. The curry sauce was just, good. It had the perfect consistency and the curry flavor didn’t taste ready-made.
It was a great experience. I would go for spicy level 7 next time though, since it’s not as spicy as I wanted it to be.
Coco Ichibanya is definitely one of my favorite restaurants! Everything on the menu is delicious. If you’re a curry lover like me, then this gem will not disappoint!

I was just at CoCo Ichibanya Greenhills branch last week (my first time at CoCo) and got hooked so now I’m back for more! Reasons for high rating of 4:
1. Consistently (just like in their Greenhills branch) serves cold water (which we like) right after leading us to our table. 💧
2. Service is quick from giving us menus and taking our orders to serving the food. 👍🏼
3. Consistently good Pork Cutlet Curry Rice! Yum! 😋
4. Discovered on this visit that their freshly fried Chicken Nuggets are crispy and good! Definitely always ordering that again as appetizer or side dish. 👌🏼
5. Love that their rice is customizable, I opted for less rice this time and they will refund you ₱20 from your bill. The spiciness level is customizable too. Spicy powder is also available on the table if you want to adjust it even more.🌶🍚
Some pet peeves I had about this visit though, we came merienda time so we were the only ones there plus another table who came after us and left before us:
1. Noisy staff chit chatting. It’s more than okay to talk to each other especially when there aren’t much customers but not too loud please that guests can hear everything.
2. Staff that uses the comfort room (they only have 1, unisex) TOO LONG, to - I don’t know - maybe dress up / put on make -up before or after her shift, while a customer that needs to pee waits for 5-10 minutes. And to add to this, indifferent staff at the counter who knows customer is waiting but doesn’t care if other staff is taking too long in the comfort room. 🚽
3. Unlike my review of their Greenhills branch where upon entering, it was very cool and welcoming after walking in the heat - it was warm when we entered this One Rockwell branch this afternoon. Imagine if we had parked in Power Plant Mall and walked over, the feeling would have been worse. A warm (temperature wise) establishment also doesn’t help when you serve spicy food (which we like but) which makes people sweat sometimes. 😓
4. This last one’s just wishful thinking - that restaurants in One Rockwell including this one provide free parking for let’s say 2 hours for a validated parking ticket with a minimum amount purchased ex. ₱300. Because most likely, there will be customers eating here that will head to the mall after which means automatically a minimum of a hundred pesos worth of parking fees - ₱50 for One Rockwell and ₱50 for Power Plant Mall (first 4 hrs on weekdays). But yes it’s definitely walkable from the mall but when the sun is scorching and when it’s raining, not too convenient to do so. ☀️☔️🚙
Will I be back? Yes! That’s how satisfying a meal their Pork Cutlet Curry and Chicken Nuggets are. 😆
Both the Pork Cutlet Omelette Curry and the Shrimp Omelette Curry were delicious. The creamy fluffy scrambled egg was perfect. The Japanese curry sauce was divine as always. And the servers were attentive even when you are seated in the less visible tables.
Japanese Curry cravings for lunch and Coco’s is the place to be to fulfill those cravings! Perfectly fried Katsu goodness with their umami-licious curry. Yum! Gonna need a nap right after!
