Midoh Rowland Heights

Authentic japanese food. The spicy curry has a side of pickled ginger and can be topped with your choice of protein. I tried both the chicken katsu and pork loin and both were juicy and breaded perfectly with every crunchy bite. It also comes with a side salad and your choice of miso soup or corn soup, both delicious. The kushikatsu was bigger than expected; crunchy, juicy, and flavorful with a tonkatsu sauce on the side. Solid service, gender neutral restrooms, and ambiance can get noisy when it's packed inside. Parking is spacious but can fill up during peak hours.

Loveeee this place! It's an authentic Japanese family owned restaurant. Just be wary of the hours of operation because they have certain a hours when they close. I highly recommend any of their udons such as the mentai seafood udon. I believe some of the dishes come with either a small soup (corn soup? or salad. This is a small business and there's usually 1-3 staff max so it might be slow and it's best to be patient. Also they always play the same Studio Ghibli films like Ponyo on repeat with no subtitles and audio. The interior is quite small and there's also outdoor seating. Overall I recommend coming at least once!

3 years later, I knew it was good but I'm impressed by the portion size on multiple dishes it looks like. Curry flavor was rich and complex, authentic. I was very full, ordered a vegetable croquette and it was shockingly good I like tempura so I got this. CRISPY on the outside, done in a way that surprised me on how good it was. Two pieces sauce. Long wait at night but it's worth it. We had a large group that required 2 tables to be put together. I was told the pasta is great! (It was one of the Udons with eggplant) Really look forward to eating here again, food is above a 9/10. Wait isn't good but you should know and can plan around that using google or whatever else you use to gauge how busy some place is. Worst case you can go somewhere else in the plaza. Service was great, they refilled water a lot.

My personal favorite curry spot in the area. Food: 8/10 It used to be around a 9 as it was my favorite spot to get curry in the local area. The curry was always very rich and creamy, with a very deep flavor that most other curry spots could not capture. However, in recent years, I feel that the portions have gotten smaller(? and that the curry isn't quite the same. Flavor is still good but not as great as it once was, and the curry has come out not hot enough the past few times I've been. The Hamburg steak was also massively decreased in size. They still have the best salad dressing around though! Service: 6/10 Service is always just ok. The people are nice, but they're usually always busy and understaffed. Even when they're not, they don't do checkups or anything. Ambiance: 6/10 Small room, decent seating, and somewhat dim. Not aesthetically wowing but it's pretty average. Overall: 7.5/10 Used to be one of the best curry spots around, and while still enjoyable, it looks like someone else has the opportunity to take that crown.

It was prob one of the better Katsu pork's I've had in my life. Extremely juicy and they gave a very unique corn pottage soup to go with my katsu sauce. It even came with a little mortar and pestle to grind the sesame seeds up. To be clear I want to state that my favorite food is Japanese curry and when I heard there was a possibility to replace the old curry house I drove all the way here just to try it out. Unfortunately to my huge disappointment, because of my peanut allergy I could not eat it. They make every single curry dish with peanuts. This is unheard of to me, here and in Japan I haven't encountered peanuts in curry before and it was extremely displeasing to not have any non peanut curry variants. I wanted to give this place a 5 star and while the service and good might just be; I personally cannot. Super unfortunate and sad. I hope one day they can add a non peanut curry and I can amend this review.
