About the restaurant:
From the website: “We deliver the best services to customers through food. Why do customers come back to eat our curry? This is because we are continuing to satisfy the customer’s expectations. However, we aim to exceed their expectations. Beyond impressing our customers, we find our true aim to be regarded as necessary for the regional society.”

Special notes:
- Coco Ichibanya has a diner-like atmosphere, where after you receive your food, the check is placed in a little container on the table. You’ll need to take the check to the front to pay, and both cash and cards are accepted. The ordering process uses a tablet, which can be a bit tricky to navigate. However, it does have an English option. You’ll need to play around with it a bit to figure it out, but I can walk you through adding toppings to your curry. After selecting your dish, you’ll go through a series of prompts asking for your preferences, such as rice portion and spice level. At the end, there’s an option for toppings or add-ons. Click “Yes” and then “Next.” On the next screen, click the only button available, then click “Next” again. This will allow you to cycle through all the possible toppings. You can either select something or skip through until you’ve reached the last page of toppings. Once done, click “Continue” to finalize your order.
- Coco Ichibanya operates like most Japanese diners: once your food has arrived, your check will be dropped off at your table in a little bill holder. When you’re ready, simply take the bill to the cashier to pay.
