Food exactly what I had before during my trips to Japan. A bit pricey but well worth the taste and experience.
The best curry house in the philippines mabilis yung service nila sa robinson manila :)
One of the good places to get your Japanese curry fix in Manila.
Restaurant itself is very spacious and clean.
Food wise good variety, basically just the same curry but I like the thought that they have options for vegetable or fish/seafood choices only. Just a bit sad they are slashing the Hamburg and the sausage on their menu which is a personal fave. None the less would still go back for their food.

TLDR: Great food, quiet place. Recommended for: Japanese food lovers, people who want to have quiet conversations over lunch, spicy food lovers.
Food: I don't think I or my friends have had a bad dish at CoCo Ichibanya. Granted, the selections look varied but (almost) everything has the same sauce, but just having a different main ingredient makes a lot of difference and every meal is just satisfying. Not sure if it shows, but I love CoCo and Japanese curry!
Ambiance: The place is very quiet. I like that the biggest table in the restaurant is technically outside the restaurant and in the far back, so big groups who may get a bit noisy and rowdy can't disturb the other customers.
Price: The prices are kinda OK since the servings are big, but they aren't everyday-lunch prices. They're more date prices or I'm-with-my-parents-so-it's-okay prices.
A good branch of Coco Ichibanya, had their mixed salad and their pork cutlet omelette curry at level 2 spiciness. I like their salad here, it's not the biggest serving but it tastes quite nice, I like the Japanese dressing a lot. Their curry is great, perhaps one of the best Japanese curries you can get now. The level 2 spiciness is just right for me, maybe you can go level 3 if you're a big spicy person but level 2 or 3 seems like the sweet spot.
Very good fooood! Different from local curry dishes. I always order chicken cutlet curry here. Will try something else. But overall, good food! Also nice staff. :)

Spacious, clean. Not cramped because not bound by walls since located insided a mall, a whole side is “open.”
Food is always the reason why I give a 5 when I eat at a Coco Ichibanya branch, consistently goooood! We got an order of Pork Cutlet Curry and an order of Pork Omelette Curry.
Tip: We always get just the safe or standard spice because you can adjust it (to make it spicier) with the spice powder available on each table. If you make a mistake of ordering a too spicy dish for you, it’ll be harder to “fix.”
Service was okay, did not encounter any problems. I used my Mabuhay Miles GC for Coco Ichibanya and other sister companies and it was a smooth transaction.
Will I be back? Yes when in Eastwood, it’s rare though because it’s always traffic in Libis.
Tastes exactly Japanese curry and the volume is quite satisfactory. Priced reasonably for what you eat. Hope for more stores to be opened across the Philippines.

I am not a stranger to Japanese curry as I have had chicken curry lots of times before and I have made it at home as well on multiple occassions.
But a lot of people seems enamored with Coco Curry so I was curious and went to the nearest branch within my vicinity, which happens to be in Eastwood.
The place is hidden along with the restaurant called Mesa at Eastwood Mall, 3rd floor. They do however have a good number of seats, decors were very modern and it was quiet which suits me as I prefer dining without all the noise.
Ordered The Pork Cutlet and Egg Curry with added cheese, Standard Spice Level.
The curry roux is undoubtedly authentic with its rich smooth flavor and wholesome deliciousness that can appeal to a lot of people. The thick pork cutlet was well breaded, needed a bit of finesse when I cut it into pieces but it meshes well with the curry sauce, mild cheese, soft egg and rice.
Unfortunately, I wished I ordered a higher spice level for it was a bit underwhelming at first. I had to rectify it by sprinkling the hot spice container over my curry to adjust the spiciness level.
The whole thing became more delicious after some adjustments and it was made even more interesting when you put a bit of the pickled plum into the mix.
The small crunchy red bits were sweet; nevertheless a bit of it on your curry adds texture and another dimension to the curry dinner.
As for the serving size, this is hefty enough for me and I am a big girl because the rice serving is big enough and the curry sauce was practically covered majority of the plate.
Service was okay, the servers were polite when they take your order and they know their products but they remain quiet unless you call out to them. I don't mind though as it helps me concentrate on eating.
Overall, a solid curry chain. Not one I may visit soon but when I do have cravings for good curry, this is the top of my list.
I've been hearing about this curry place for awhile now but its only now that I've been able to try it. Their menu has a wide selection on that you want with your curry whether its pork, beef, veggies, or seafood. On this first visit I opted for the pork katsu with scramble egg rice and level 3 heat curry. I also added a side salad and a regular coke for 90.
The curry itself was delicious however, the pork katsu could have had better batter and a but dry it was still good. The cook on the scrambled egg was perfect and the serving size was generous. Definitely value for money.
Their coffee jelly is one of the best coffee jelly that I tasted so far. I haven't try their other foods but I will surely comeback though it's a little bit pricy..
Place is somewhat hidden / not noticeable. Ambience is good. Food is a bit pricey but flavorful. Ordered pork cutlet and cheese curry. At first, i thought that the rice was not gonna be enough but since the curry sauce was heavy, i didn't need to order extra. Pork cutlet was thick. Also ordered creamy croquette. Was told it had crab meat but unfortunately, didn't taste any. Overall, will likely return.
