" I visited Demiya last weekend and it was bustling! They have quite the reputation, and now I understand why. I had the chicken katsu curry and it was beautifully presented. Rich curry, fluffy rice, and katsu that was perfectly fried. One downside was that I felt rushed since it was crowded, but I guess that's part of the experience. Overall, I definitely recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Demiya has quickly become my favorite spot for Japanese curry. I usually go for the chicken katsu curry, which is absolutely delicious. I love how you can adjust the spice level to your liking and the katsu is prepared just right. Sometimes the place gets a little too crowded, but I usually grab it to go and enjoy it at home. Highly recommend this eatery! " (*Curated Review*)

" Demiya is such a trendy spot! I loved how diverse their menu was, but I went for the classic tonkatsu curry. It was delicious, but I felt the portion sizes could be slightly bigger for the price. I’ll definitely try other dishes next time I’m there. Overall, a fun place to eat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having lived in Japan, I have a keen eye for authentic Japanese cuisine and Demiya truly delivered! The katsu curry reminded me of the little stalls I used to frequent in Tokyo. Just the right amount of curry sauce, and the katsu was crispy and flavorful. I also loved that I could adjust the spice level. The ambiance is casual, perfect for a quick bite but be prepared for a bit of a wait, especially on weekends. Overall, it’s a must-visit if you're looking for real deal Japanese curry. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Demiya for the first time and I was really impressed! The curry had a nice depth of flavor, and the tonkatsu was crispy without being greasy. Although it gets quite packed during lunch hours, it’s worth the wait. The only downer was I had to order through my phone which felt a bit weird. Still, I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in the South Bay area, you MUST try Demiya! The curry is not only flavorful but also rich, unlike some competitors that offer soupy variants. The katsu was juicy and paired excellently with their curry. The setting is casual, and since it's self-service, it can be a bit chaotic, especially during peak hours. However, this place is definitely worth it for the flavors alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Demiya was pretty average. The food was decent but didn’t blow my mind. I found the service lacking a bit due to the hustle and bustle of the lunch crowd. I think I'll try a different dish next time to see if that makes a difference. " (*Curated Review*)
