Coco Ichibanya Otaru Arihorocho

I visited this place while I went to Otaru and looked for dinner. It is not a Frill's Japanese chain service different kind of curry. You can choose the amount of rice, type of curry and spice of sauce. You will sit and if you are ready to order, ring the bell on your table. Someone will come and get your order. I ordered the cheese filled Burger Curry. It was so delicious. I ordered Spiciness Level 3 and it was just right for the taste. The service was fast and the waitress was polite. The price is very reasonable and will not break your bank. Overall very satisfied and will come back in the future.

This place is wonderful. Try to mix it. Get eggplant cure with garlic and egg or spinach with natto and tuna. Come on. There is no wrong answer to the question What do you want? Level 3 is more spicer than you think. Imagine Wagamama in the UK. Your curry is like Level 0 in this place. So delicious. Mango Lassie is great too! What's wrong?

The staff is great. They even helped me call a taxi after my group's food. The food is notch at any time of the day.

I was walking outside with heavy snow in the middle of nowhere, found this Coco branch, and decided to enter for dinner. The young lady at the counter was very courteous and did a fantastic service. I'm a single person entering, they did not rush me to the bar seat, but instead offered me to the bigger table of 4 next to the window view, which is unusual as by the book Japanese would usually rush you to bar seat even the whole restaurant is empty. This little touch made me satisfied with the service. The ordering was very smooth as they had a multi language menu, and the food served was big according to my taste. I would definitely come back again if I ever come to visit this area.

For me, nothing screams Japanese curry like the cold Hokkaido weather. If you 're in Otaru in winter and want a deliciously warm meal, take a trip here. Just be aware that it 's a bit of a walk away from the canal but not too bad if you 've made it as far as the main touristy area. Warm service to match the curry and worth it on a cold day especially.
