Curry Up Cafe — Restaurant in Los Angeles

This place makes you want to like it. Inspired fusion options, and a funky flair that makes it seem like s hip place to try. Sadly, it's all the worst cliches of a hole in the wall restaurant. The chef personally serves the guests with a reverence for the food he has made. Unfortunately, he misses all the details, especially the ones that matter most. The cheese fries were stale, but the Korean beef on top saved it. The paper used underneath it, and for my burger, frustratingly melts upon contact with the grease of the food it is served in. The condiments were so old, it scares one to use them. The ramen burger was made with flavorless soggy noodles, and the burger patty was the only thing that tasted decent, though no better than a backyard bbq. I feel this place could've been great had the chef only put in the effort to make it so. I even spent 10 minutes trying to coex him out of the kitchen so I could get a bill to pay. He ignored me, so I left my best guess as to what I owed based on my memory of the menu. I really tried to give this place every opportunity, but it deserves to fail if things don't change. I think it should be shuttered for health code violations.

Reply to "chef": You should look on the table. The only robbery here was your pricing for food that tasted like in came out of the garbage. My review was kind considering my pregnant wife is now sick with food poisoning. Your response shows you are a child, and your food shows you're a second rate line cook at best. Both my wife and I have worked in kitchens, her at the highest levels. We know our food and your ketchup and mustard looks about 12 years old, which is the only confirmation of the age of your eatery. I'm not surprised you aren't receptive to criticism, especially when it was ment to give you a wake up call to live up to the potential you have...

See like, here’s the thing. If you haven’t eaten here yet you’re doing yourself a massive disservice. Sushi and Thai food cover Ventura Blvd like sprinkles on a soft serve cone. But there’s only ONE place you can get incredible Japanese curry and Korean fried chicken wings done right. Don’t waste your time getting soggy tempura shrimp and another mediocre California roll when you could be eating this. The chef is cool. Did I mention everything is amazing? Also he has an original NES to play while you wait so...why are you still reading...

Waited to well past it was open to try this place. Called the phone number to order to go and it went straight to voicemail. Figured they might be busy. Drove 20 minutes out of my way. Showed up at 6:25pm (they open at 5pm), and they were closed. There was a sign with a phone number saying they would be right back and to call. It was the same number that they have on Google connected to their restaurant. It went straight to voicemail again.. Very strange way to run...
