I recently tried their tonkatsu, and it was fantastic. The breading was perfectly crunchy, and the pork was tender and juicy. The sauce they use is spot on, adding a great balance of savory and sweet that really enhances the dish. Overall, a delicious and satisfying meal!
[Food] - Tonkatsu Curry ($15.50): I got this in level 2 spice and it was perfect! Tonkatsu was crunchy, moist, and tender. Curry was flavorful and nicely spiced. Rice was fluffy as always. No complaints! This is also my fav dish to get at Demiya [Ambiance] - Definitely more spacious than the Saratoga location - They changed the "order at cashier first then grab table" to wait to being seated and having the waiter take your order instead which I prefer more so that people don't hoard seats lol [Overall] - Been to this location at least 3-4 times and was never disappointed! - Would come back again as both Saratoga and Cupertino locations are comparable in terms of food quality - I miss when they had their Japanese Breakfast which they removed from their menu already but hopefully they bring it back from time to time
Tasty food. Friendly and accommodating staff. Clean restaurant. Located in a very busy shopping complex that shares a parking lot with other businesses. This Japanese restaurant specializes in curry dishes. They have combination curry rice plates or combination curry udon. They do offer non-curry bento boxes as well if you're not a fan of Japanese curry. Came during the weekend for lunch and the restaurant was quite busy with lines forming outside by the time I left.
Demiyaaaaaaa! This location is my go to now! Just went on. Saturday afternoon and let me tell you it hit the spot if you're craving for some Katsu curry! The service was great and it's clean and roomy inside! The only thing I would say is this location needs to put a sign outside so people know it's there! It took me like 10-15mins to find this location haha. It's next to the salon shop. What I recommend getting there is the: 1.) chicken or pork Katsu curry 2.) Mentaiko Cream udon 3.) SIDE OF SAUSAGE IS A MUST!
Great food and standard prices. I came with a party of ten and all the tables were organized for pairs so we were kind of unsure if we wanted to eat here but the staff was so nice and merged the tables together for us and they were so friendly about it. They really made sure our experience was good. The interior was well decorated in a minimalist way which was really cute and provided a great ambiance. My boyfriend got a katsu curry and I got the yasai salad and we shared so it was very yummy. Otherwise I think the curry would've been too lacking in vegetables. Makes sense but next time I would order the bento (or combination meals). That looked really good!
Service here was friendly. We came here upon opening and the restaurant seemed to quite empty. The interior is very simple, clean, and one nice note is that the kitchen is very visible from the seating, so you can see the food being made. Since I've always heard about the curry here, I decided to get the chicken katsu curry. One thing I don't like so much is that toppings such as sides (and even the pickles) cost extra. I've always thought of the pickles as a given, so it feels strange to pay extra for that. Otherwise, the curry is very fragrant. At the +1 spice level, the curry does have a bit of a kick. I had a bit of rice left at the end, so the curry-rice-meat economy is practiced here.
I love the Demiya location near Mitsuwa in West San Jose, so when I saw that they were opening a new location off De Anza near Cupertino I was stoked. This place always offers great curry dishes with warm service. Typically I prefer curry udon, but the curry rice here beats out the udon IMO. It's perfect for a cold winter day. The tonkatsu and chicken karaage are delicious. Wanted to try the beef croquette and potato croquette, but both were sold out when I went! I ordered the beef shabu curry udon, which came in a large portion and with veggies + an egg on top! Very well balanced and filling, they did not skimp on the meat. The atmosphere is cozy but also so clean. Service is friendly.
Love this place, great food and casual atmosphere. Came in for the katsu curry, and I found it to be juicy, tender and flavorful. The curry sauce has a spicy, bold, house made deep flavor. The fluffy rice blends everything together in a flavor party. The karaage was juicy and tender. I tried doria for the first time. I never knew about this cheesy baked rice dish. It was fantastic.
Awesome Japanese restaurant!! This place showed up on my tik tok feed and I had to go! My friend and I arrived here on Sunday around 5:30 pm right when they opened their dinner hours. It's part of a plaza so there is parking but somewhat tight and compact. It's tucked in the plaza, so it takes a bit of walking to find it. We were sat immediately and the second group that they were serving. I'm glad that we got there early since it became frantic as the restaurant filled up with diners and only 1 person working the floor and everyone else in the kitchen... Great atmosphere to be with friends, family, or solo! I ordered their Menchu Katsu with curry rice and it was about a 10 minute wait until my food was served. I was very happy with the portion size and presentation. Beautiful color of the curry and plates well against the bed of white rice. The beef burgers patties were thick!! The exterior was crunchy and the insides were so filling. The curry sauce had great flavors of savory, with a hint of sweetness from either nutmeg or cinnamon. Absolutely loved it. Would definitely come here again!
Sad that this location stopped serving breakfast, but had to see what the dinner was about. Great value, so much food for a relatively modest price! As my experience before, service is attentive and polite. Onto the food... Great!: Doriya - super unique fusion rice gratin dish that is allegedly hard to find outside of Japan. Super delicious, every grain of rice is coated in their curry, which also is not overpowering. Very rich though, I recommend splitting it with someone. See photos for that cheese pull! Tonkatsu - the pork was a thick slab and had a beautiful light pink tinge in the center (be not afraid, that's perfection). Crispy on the outside, and the sauce it came with was definitely made in the restaurant, and is thinner than Bulldog sauce, which I find to be a plus. Good: Chicken Karaage - Chicken itself is super juicy and tastes like a it was marinated in some soy-ginger. The crust is very light, and reminds me of Popeyes chicken tenders with craggy bits hanging off the meat. Not my preferred style of Karaage breading; I would've liked a touch more crunch than crisp. It's served with some sort of shichimi togarashi aioli, which is unique compared to the typical mayonnaise and lemon.
