The just ate CoCo's thread

[JanenSteven]

Chicken Cutlet, mixed veggies and cheese. Level 5. Can't beat it. Any one else?:first:

[P_chan]

Cocochibanya is over rated! It made me hate curry!

[socalheart]

I know a lot of people (mostly Americans) who absolutely love Coco's curry, in spite of having the runs the rest of the day. :o I don't especially like Japanese curry though. I never acquired a taste or nose for it. Ick. I prefer Indian or Thai curry.

[P_chan]

It's not bad every once in a while. But I don't know how people can eat it so much like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. I know americans who have only eaten at Coco's and not anywhere else off base! Come on now, there are a ton of better places then Coco's.

[Ammoyankee]

Me and my kid went there awhile back. We both like fairly spicy food so he tried a 5 and I think my cheese curry was a 7 (not sure). Well, never again... Had to do the dab with wet tp for a few days!

[DoctorP]

American families will eat anything that they do not have to cook themselves! That is why CoCo's is so damn popular! I personally can't stand it, and I'm glad to see others who agree.

[Oxmix]

Want spicy, get some Korean Kimchi.

Ox

[P_chan]

It also amazes me that coco's is so popular with american's. There are a ton of better places to eat. Coco's is the last place I would eat at if I had a choice!

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. The one near Kadena always seems to be full during the lunch hour with "Y" plates.

I have eaten there with my family purely to see what the big deal was about, however for myself and my family we really weren't impressed. It was ok once, but I doubt I will ever go there again.

We usually eat curry at home once a week or so and it just seemed strange to go out to eat for something that we regularly eat at home.

[thistle]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. The one near Kadena always seems to be full during the lunch hour with "Y" plates.


I once went in there to pick some up, this was at a time when I did not live near bases and rarely saw American's, unless I was up near Chatan at the week-end. I was so shocked, I was suddenly surrounded by all these people in uniform eating curry and the lady at the counter spoke to me in english.
I had to go and look outside just to make sure I was still in the country I
thought I was!

I too am not that impressed, not somewhere I'd go for a meal out, but maybe
to pick up as a take-out.

[dk]

I've only been to co-co's once. I never really understood what people love so much about it. I'm just not a curry guy, even when it's cooked at home. I'll eat it, but it's nothing I go out of my way to eat for lunch.

[OCanadaOurHomeAndNativeLand]

I'm with dk on this one, but I think a lot of folks here like it 'cause it's fast, cheap, good volume, and has English menus.

I am a fan of Indian, Pakistani, and Nepalese curry restaurants.

How could I forget to mention Thai places too?!:w00t:

[Tempestuous]

I am with ya dk, DrP, eelcurb & others, I am not a CoCo's fan.

Even intoxicated I didn't enjoy their food.

I know plenty that LOVED it, *belch* but not me!!!

[FLiprayzin240sx]

You want curry thats better than Coco's...go to FABs out at Sunabe Seawall. $6 all you can eat curry buffet, then again they only got like 6-7 different curry but theyre all good to me. You cant beat the price and the view since your looking out at the water.

[DougP]

Yup!! FABs is awesome :thumbup:

Thats funny I just ate a whole jar of Korean Kimchi it goes awesome with Corona!

If you are making some I will be right over on the next flight j/k!! :thumbup:

[coldnoodles]

I can't stand CoCo's...I tried level 10 and it did nothing for me, I rather have Thai curry which I cook almost all the time!!

My husband and kids love CoCo's soo much. Except little mysshmongkey loves both currys, must be the Hmong in her!!! lol The good thing about it I won't be going to CoCo's until June 2008 when hubby gets back home :w00t:

[TheLastDon]

Yeah I always got the hershy squirts after eating at CoCos :51::51: and at Chilis that's why I don't go to either of them anymore.

[P_chan]

Ona kau kau always gives me the shits too. I stopped going to that place as much as I used to and had it for the first time yesterday in almost a year. It gave me explosion diarrhea in about an hour.

[coldnoodles]

Ona kau kau always gives me the shits too. I stopped going to that place as much as I used to and had it for the first time yesterday in almost a year. It gave me explosion diarrhea in about an hour.

Someone took me there when we first came here, man that food was disgusting :barf: :barf: no flavor, no taste, no service...I have never been back! I don't even recommend it to anyone!!

[dk]

I like ono kau kau just fine. It's not someplace I'd want to go more than once every few months, but their kaluah pig isn't bad. Never had a problem with my bowel movements afterwards either.

[P_chan]

Someone took me there when we first came here, man that food was disgusting :barf: :barf: no flavor, no taste, no service...I have never been back! I don't even recommend it to anyone!!

Now I wouldn't say that. The food is actually quite good if you ask me. It's just that lately it seems to give me the shits.

[DocTurtle]

I love CoCo's! A buddy and I both have had level 10's, and to be honest, everything past 6 is about the same...just costs more. Umm...chicken cutlet curry with nan bread on the side :)

[shrizza]

As someone that likes Japanese curry more than that of Thai or Indian style, I'm fine with CoCo's. I liked their tomato/asparagus combo that they had going in September.

Fabu is also good but the place itself is a bit cramped.

[DocTurtle]

Yea, anyone else tried the level 10 yet?

[P_chan]

Nope, and I never plan on it. I'm not a big fan of spicy foods.

[DougP]

I love spicy foods its just that my digestive system doesn't. Level ten is not worth 2 hours on the toilet crunched over in pain.

[macker]

I'm not a huge fan.. However, I have noticed that there are varying degrees of service and quality between the various shops. The shops near kadena and Foster are the worst. The further from the bases, the better the service and quality of the food.

Try for yourself if you don't believe!!

[Tony Stacks]

I LOVE CoCo's I've been eating there for years! I have'nt been for a while though. My wife makes better curry though but I do love some CoCo's and CoCo's is NOT overrated it's the SHIT!!!

[Tony Stacks]

Yea, anyone else tried the level 10 yet?


I used to eat level 10 it's good but you loose some of the taste of the curry with the extra spice. Really level 5 and less are better. Once you past level 5 you loose some of the taste.

[DocTurtle]

Agreed. I stick with a level 5 normally. I had pork cutlet instead of the chicken the other day. It was ok, but I think I'm going to stick with the chicken. Why mess with perfection? I tried the oyster one once. It was...meh. Like you said Tony, anything past a 5 and you do lose some of the flavor.

[P_chan]

I could take a dump on a plate of rice, then put curry sauce on it, and it would taste better then cocos.

[Takako]

I could take a dump on a plate of rice, then put curry sauce on it, and it would taste better then cocos.

Let me know when you take the taste test.

[retributionnk]

Although I prefer Thai red curry over everything, CoCo's is still damn good! My normal meal: Cuttlefish curry level 4, and the occassional chicken cutlet with chese (like the rest of the Americans). I wouldn't brag about the price though, 8 bucks for a plate of curry is a bit expensive IMHO. Som Chai's Thai curry is tastier and much less expensive. Also comes with soup!

[P_chan]

Let me know when you take the taste test.

Maybe I should start my own restaurant:D

[Muku]

Maybe I should start my own restaurant:D
I think I would only order the food that your wife cooked:eek: :D

[P_chan]

I think I would only order the food that your wife cooked:eek: :D

Just remember who supplied your food:D

[Tanimaga]

One of my observations is that when the male staff are preparing the curry, it is a little hotter. When the ladies prepare, not as spicy.

[dmex75]

Ok so every1 has stories about their favorite/non-favorite foods. So this guy likes curry......big deal! Give him a break.....we all like different kinds of foods and if you see alot of people there it's because they agree with this person as well.

[DocTurtle]

Lol, no one is ragging on him bro. People just stating their opinions on the food. No disrespect anywhere..unless I've misread something??:confused::confused:

[smhersweetie]

I love Coco's!! I have to eat there atleast once a week. Everytime level 10!! :)

[dmex75]

I was stating my opinion on P Chan's comments sorry if it bothered anyone. Really, I didn't mean to. By the way, It's sis NOT bro.

[swindland]

I personally do not like coco's. However my hubby loves that place and can eat curry everyday if he chooses too. I prefer thai curry. But I do recall my hubby getting a chicken cutlet level 6 LOL that was funny because he had a hard time finishing it and he had to pay in the toilet!!!:w00t:

[swindland]

I love Coco's!! I have to eat there atleast once a week. Everytime level 10!! :)

LEVEL 10 HOLY SMOKE!!!! I'll stick to mild LOL...

[dmex75]

My husband really likes coco's. I like it but not as much as him. Personally I'd take sushi or teppanyaki anytime.

[swindland]

I'm the same way too!!! I love sushi and teppanyaki but my hubby don't like sushi at all. He is missing out on sushi!!

[P_chan]

I was stating my opinion on P Chan's comments sorry if it bothered anyone. Really, I didn't mean to. By the way, It's sis NOT bro.

I wasn't discrediting his opinion of cocos. I was merely stating that it tastes like shit TO ME!

However, I still do eat there every once in a blue moon, mainly because the wife enjoys it.

[retributionnk]

BUMP! Why? 'Cause I had CoCo's this evening. I also found out that Spoon Project 2008 begins in 2 days!!! OMG!

[okisktr]

cocos is over rated...IMO

probably cuz im japanese...maybe thats it...lol.

its good thought...im not gonna argue with that..

but its not as "good" as what people thinks...its just curry haha.

[dk]

its just curry haha.
My thoughts exactly. I don't know how people can get excited about curry. Curry is about the most boring food ever. Brown mush on a plate with rice.

[okisktr]

true true...

curry isnt the BEST food on this earth or on okinawa...

but it is good...

but its just curry though. LOL.


and cocos isnt better than anywhere else...i think coco's is probably the "low-rank" curry...which i mean is that...there the worst curry place on this island...

but its good thought lol/

i rather go somewhere else, to eat curry than coco's...unless its like 3 oclock in the morning...and i have to go LOL

[dk]

My wife used to take me to a good dry curry restaurant down in Naha. That was excellent. I think I've been to CoCo's exactly once, and that was enough. My wife doesn't even cook curry at home except dry curry. :D

[okisteve]

My thoughts exactly. I don't know how people can get excited about curry. Curry is about the most boring food ever. Brown mush on a plate with rice.

You are talking about Japanese curry, which is a perverted comfort food in the same overall species as light beer.

If you want to see why a few billion other Asians think curry is a good thing, get out and try some (it sounds like Uminchu's house might be a good place to start:thumbup1:). After you work through about 500 different Indian curries you can move to Malaysian, Thai, Cambodian, Bengali, and Pakistani.

Wow, I think I'll make that my life's work...

[retributionnk]

Indeed. I often make the comparison of CoCo's to a place like Taco Bell. I think Taco Bell is fast fooduously delicious, but it doesn't hold a candle to real Mexican Food! Now I've got a hankering for good curry... Madras, Vindaloo, maybe some Thai curry too! yum!

[Muku]

My thoughts exactly. I don't know how people can get excited about curry. Curry is about the most boring food ever. Brown mush on a plate with rice.
I think that Japanese curry was invented with the intention of getting kids to eat their veggies.:w00t: Hell the "flavor" masks the actuall flavor of everything else in the roux that someone could probably add dog, cat, or mice meat into the mixture and all the people eating it would say was ...."Ohh it tastes so great, I just LUV curry" :rolleyes:

Has anyone besides me ever wondered why there are no stray cats or dogs around any of the Coco's here in Okinawa?:-|

I've had several Indian curries. Most were good, but I just generally don't care all that much for curry...

Yeah, when I said that curry is just brown slop on rice, I was talking about Japan's (and America's as well) perversion of the product.

I will admit I've had some Indian (and probably some other country's too) curry that I really enjoyed. It's great with naan (sp?). I'd just rather have a plate of chicken.

[TheLastDon]

Well I heard they used to eat cat on Kouri Jima.

Cat soup anyone? :eek:

[Muku]

Well I heard they used to eat cat on Kouri Jima.

Cat soup anyone? :eek:

Oh here it comes....talk to some older Okinawan's, like one's in their late 70's and up, some will tell you that cooking cats and eating the meat and soup was used as a medication for helping people with asthma here.

And it wasnt just on Kouri Jima either.

Did you hear the one about the rats being used instead of pork in the soba soup in Nago soba?

[DocTurtle]

I don't think I've actually had "real" curry. CoCo's was my first go at it and to be honestly I like it.:thumbup: Might not be "real" curry, but damn if it isn't good enough for me :D Plus, I can't eat anything spicey with the wife...she thinks the mild at CoCo's is too spicy!!

[retributionnk]

Figured I've give this thread a necroing with the restriction being repealed and all. CoCo's was excellent this morning, even as a breakfast. If you get the Sausage curry with omelette mix, it's an amazing breakfast meal. I dubbed my meal 'Redemption Curry'.

[Courtney]

Ummm...i love me some Coco's!
We have alot in common, i always got for the chic cutlet #5, but mine is with spinich and garlic! YUMMYYY......

[dweener]

just seeing the word coco makes me hungry....
god bless this thread

[okisteve]

I could take a dump on a plate of rice, then put curry sauce on it, and it would taste better then cocos.

Well, who are you going to trust now?

[dweener]

Well, who are you going to trust now?

I dont know, but if his crap tastes better than coco's, then he should start a business. But keep the main ingredient a secret

[Jazz]

I like to taste my food and I also love and can handle pretty high heat (spicy), but when it's too spicy, it's not enjoyable in my opinion. I'm definately a bigger fan of the Indo and Thai varieties. I've been here in Oki more on than off since 00'. I haven't had COCOs in 6-7 years, although from what I remember I agree that it's overrated. My wife and I always get a chuckle out of all the Y plates in the parking lot, just thinking those people are paying (I'm sure a minimum of ¥600), for what we consider lower quality than the stuff we get for ¥100 at the store and occasionally heat up at home. My mother-n-law makes the best Japanese curry. Gotta have Rakyo (kind of a cocktail onion) or red pickles with Japanese curry (kare)..............

For you Indo style consumers, Krishna is great...........

[Karateguy]

Cocochibanya is over rated! It made me hate curry!
I'm with you bro. I never understood what was so good about the place. I prefer my wife's Japanese curry or my Thai curry.

[Kitty Meow]

Homemade curry is still better than CoCo's.

[Jazz]

Homemade any food is better than any food anywhere, if you're a good cook. Not to get off the subject but I'd say more overrated than COCOs is Jet City Burger in Araha. Decent burger but for ¥1,000! I can make 10-20 burgers a lot better tasting at home. There is a skill to making a great burger BTW..........

OK - let's share Great Burger Tips. One thing I've heard is that the ground meat should not be too lean.

[Jazz]

that's true

[Jazz]

I usually mix half lean/ half not so lean...

[GoochBomber]

i usually do a 1/4 kinda lean, 1/4 maybe lean, and 1/2 is this lean?....try it its good

And as for coco's...Chicken Cutlass lvl 5 with extra cheese...BAMCIS!

[wenjam]

Sounds to me like you guys need to invest in some pepcid or something before you go eat....it may help you out.

[Iniquid]

Yea, anyone else tried the level 10 yet?


It burns all the way in and all the way out:w00t:. Its really an amazing sensation, it is so hot that your mouth goes numb. You will never forgive yourself upon its exit however. Yoshihachis (spelling) is where its at though!:first:

[gunny8511]

I'd like to know where some of these other curry places are. All I've ever had was Coco's, and I like it. I'd love to try some good Thai curry. Any suggestions with specific directions? I'll try any place once...and be a faithful customer if it's good.

[proudtobnotpc]

sorry guys but IMAO CoCo sucks I don't know why you keep giving them your money. There are lots of other really good and authentic curry places in Okinawa. Go out and try new things because once you see the light you'll never eat at that place again.

[Rossi46]

If loving Coco's curry is wrong then I don't wanna be right!!! I have tried different curry from 30 or so restaurants around Japan and Coco’s is #1 in my book. I guess I like the cheap stuff. Misawa Japan has a place called pizza n Curry they also make a wicked curry, if you're ever in that area.

[P_chan]

I heard the place near the seawall was good, never been there though. The curry at cafe curacuma isn't bad, but I'm not a big fan of curry. The best curry on island IMHO is the stuff my father-in-law makes.

[carms328]

Anyone know where the closet Coco's is outside Kadena Gate 3??

[badkitty]

All I can say is......... HATED IT!

[Son Kokujin]

I love Coco's curry, but I also love Fab, and I used to eat at Nanak Curry, too. I want to also try Krishna's and that one place near Araha beach, too...when it comes to curry, I say variety is the spice of life!

[Sex Wax]

Sometimes I get the arse squirts when I eat there. http://mysmileyz.com/s/100.gif

[Courtney]

i enjoy this place sometimes...i always ge crispy chicken w/ garlic and spinich #5, sometimes #6 if im planning on drinking =)

[badkitty]

sounds like an ass pain to me.....

[TheLastDon]

Sometimes I get the arse squirts when I eat there. http://mysmileyz.com/s/100.gif

That's why I stopped going there. :barf:

[Asshat]

Isn't that place for Americans who just got off the boat? I mean, I don't know of anyone who lives here, who goes there. Just Americans and Japanese tourists.

[TheLastDon]

Need to drink a lot of beer to read this thread.

[Asshat]

:thumbup:Need to drink a lot of beer to read this thread.

LMAO!!! Great post Don! :thumbup:

[kuniggety]

CoCo's is okay... one in awhile. Like some people have said, I don't get some people's infatuation with the place. It's gotta be because it's right by the base and people are so scared to venture any further out. While it's not really venturing out that much more, I really like Kabab's on 58 - Indian curry. Me and my wife frequent there.

[proudtobnotpc]

Need to drink a lot of beer to read this thread.

I'm finding a re-occurring theme here.:first::first::first:

[Jazz]

The Shrimp burger's actually a good choice at McD's(Makudonarudos).

Sushi's almost my favorite food, you should try it at Yoshihachis. That place could almost make any Sushi hater a fan.

As far as Mexican goes, homemade is the closest you'll get here. I go to "MyHouse" restaurant by Futenma on 58 for good-ass tacos and every other tasty, loaded with grease thing they have.

I don't eat CoCo's.

[Jazz]

As for Sauce, good if you're lazy, but too expensive. I make better ribs at home/.

[Jazz]

I didn't mean to say you're lazy. I meant anyone who's lazy and feels like droppin some dough on a good meal could enjoy Sauce on occasion. Laziness is my number one dilemma in life.

[P_chan]

well... i love coco's i normally get the pork cutlet triple meat level 4...

coco,s is pretty much my fav place to eat here so far.. i have went to 4 seasons and the food was OK.. not near enough food for the price though.. i dont like spending an assload of money and leaving hungry...

same with ono kau kau... my 4 yr old daughter at the fullplate in no time.. while i ordered 2 full meals and was still starving... food was ok though...

went to viking yakiniku.. ok experience i guess.. a lot of the meat was mor fat than meat... and i really didnt care to have to cook it myself.. i could cook at home... i may try a different one sometime in the future but i am not pressed..

dragons food was ok.... good for a weekend lunch or something.. food tasted pretty good... this is one of the best with price and quantity of food.. good value there in my opinion...

mickey d's here is pretty good.. i dont care for the truncated menu though... and that shrimp burger looks disgusting..

i dont do sushi in no shape or form... seaweed and raw fish the thought makes my stomach churn.... too each his own...


sauce live was pretty much the best food i have eaten on the economy so far.. the ribs were slamming..


well other than that havent ate much on the economy.. mostly coco's on a regular basis.. i am not really looking to become a curry afficionado or anything... ill try others.. in germany there were some places with some real good authentic indian curry...

i love authentic mexican food.. the kind you find in the states at authentic mexican spots where they speak little english.. lol..

in germany it used to bug me that they had all these other restauraunts and eateries with other countries cuisine... but they are operated by germans.. wasnt authentic at all to me..

i kinda see that here so i am leery about going to some places...

Now all you have to do is go to the places that americans tend not to go to. Those are the best kept secrets! I go to the american joints sometimes, I'll admit that. But I'd rather get myself a big blow of soba or a plate of okinomiyaki!

[P_chan]

soba does nothing for me... i have been to a few work luncheons at various places... i am really not feeling japanese cuisine for the most part.. cant explain it... just not into it at all... i dont feel like i am missing out though....

creature of habit i guess

I'm the same way, somewhat. But I've gotten better since I've been here and now I don't know how I'd live without certain japanese/okinawan foods. What kind of soba did you have? If it's the soba you get with a main dish (like cutlet) then that isn't soba IMO. Soba is what you get from a place like gaba soki (my favorite) or hamaya or any of the other little soba shops throughout the island. Mmmmm just thinking about some soki soba and how the pork just falls off the bone is making my mouth water:thumbup:

[Jazz]

Thanks Pchan. I'm going to Gabu soka (sp?) tonight. After hearing you talk about it makes me realize I haven't had a bowl in a few weeks. It should never go that long but sometimes I forget to eat it......

[DocTurtle]

I had CoCo's last night. I had the Chicken and Summer Veggies lvl 5. It was good! :thumbup:

Oishiiso........

[Jazz]

Had the Tonkatsu kare (pork cutlet curry) level 3 with a piece of Nan last night. Satisfying but barely, I'm back to being a hater.

IMHO, for my money, way better curry and katsu is available for a much lower price. I'm talking grocery store quality blows CoCo's away(IMHO)!

OK, that's my final word on your beloved CoCo's. All you die-hard fans, enjoy! That's more good curry for me elsewhere.

[OKI4EVR]

...

All you die-hard fans, enjoy! That's more good curry for me elsewhere.

yeah I hear yah cuz CoCo's is just SoSo... :army:

[Courtney]

I love cocos, but also have never had curry anywhere else...any suggestions?
At cocos I always get the crispy chicken w/ spinich & cheese level 6! yummy!

[Spadesy]

Level 10...

I almost threw up. That, is the MAN test baby. :first: :barf:

[sktmfy]

had level 10 last night...i ate it and it didnt take long to realize that i had on a jacket...the sweat started to pour, sip the mango latte...then this lady in the next booth lights up a cigarette...the smell of the smoke drove me nuts, plus the heat, i almost lost it...had to go outside.... level 10 is no joke...im still feeling that shii in my chest....damn im gonna dread going to take a crap later..., my buddy that went with me...is indian...he ate that lvl 10 like it was fruit loops....and i thought i liked spicy food.

Good Luck with poopin... :thumbup:

[dndkt]

Not really a fan, but hubby loves it. I prefer homemade curry or indian curry. When I'm forced to go, I eat the Curry-kishimen noodles or curry w/spinach and mushrooms, 200 grams, level 1 with naan bread. But I rarely go anymore.

I like Cocos and I have tried others here on Island. I didn't like the Fab place on sunabe because there was no meat. In the chicken curry there were about two chicken pieces in the whole pot. I also didn't like how they rotated the dishes. Everyone breathing over the food was not good either. That place wouldn't pass a health inspection in the US IMO.

Talking about BBQ places. I don't know if anyone has tried Stacks. But that place is awesome. They have this corn bread that is off the chain. I am talking about everyone gets there own black skillet corn bread. Nice portions and they even have Collard greens. Great place and atmosphere....

I tried Coco's for the first time the other day and it wasn't bad. Not as Spicy as I thought it would be but it was pretty good. I'll prolly eat it again but don't like it enough to join a club...

Not many members there...
I like Cocos and I have tried others here on Island. I didn't like the Fab place on sunabe because there was no meat. In the chicken curry there were about two chicken pieces in the whole pot. I also didn't like how they rotated the dishes. Everyone breathing over the food was not good either. That place wouldn't pass a health inspection in the US IMO.

Talking about BBQ places. I don't know if anyone has tried Stacks. But that place is awesome. They have this corn bread that is off the chain. I am talking about everyone gets there own black skillet corn bread. Nice portions and they even have Collard greens. Great place and atmosphere....
Check it out.

Not sure about the health inspection but, every time I've been to Fab the curry was loaded w/ chicken. You must have went on an off day. There's also. IMHO, tons more flavor and variety at Fab, and for the price......

Other than Fab, there are many other great curry places.

Thanks for the tip on the BBQ joint.

You know they have different spice levels right?? They've got from level 0-10... not many people can eat a 10...

Yeah, I know.. Everyone told me that a 5 would be real hot so I got a 6 and it wasn't as hot as I expected. Not complaining really, was just my observation. More disappointed in the people that told me how hot a 5 was. I may eat some today, maybe I'll try a 9...

The Shrimp burger's actually a good choice at McD's(Makudonarudos).

Sushi's almost my favorite food, you should try it at Yoshihachis. That place could almost make any Sushi hater a fan.

As far as Mexican goes, homemade is the closest you'll get here. I go to "MyHouse" restaurant by Futenma on 58 for good-ass tacos and every other tasty, loaded with grease thing they have.

I don't eat CoCo's.


no lie about the shrimp burger...its good...

i always hear about yoshihachi's...where is it?

Yoshihachi's is off of Kokutai Dori (23) down the street from Kadena gate 5. Last time I went though I agreed with all the negative reviews. I think it may have been AH who said it best, something along the lines of him selling shit sushi to American's who don't know fresh sushi. I won't go back, and would only reccomend it to people who don't like sushi and want to try to like it, cause his rolls are easy on the American Pallate(sp).

Good luck. It may be alright sometimes. My soft shell crab was definitely not fresh, and the sashimi wasn't either.

Hey, let's turn this CoCo's thread into a sushi thread.

I went to a kaitenzushi (sushi-go-round) in Harajuku (in Tokyo) and it was the best and freshest sushi I've ever had, even had fresh wasabi!

What has 2 thumbs and just finished some coco's chicken katsu curry, spice level 2? THIS guy!!

[trissytrissy47]

Coco's may not be the best food on the planet (especially for the price) but I really do enjoy it. We probably go every other week or so, my husband and I.

The thing is, he works swings and I work swings...I don't get out until midnight most nights (3 am fridays), chili's too is only open 24 hours on weekends (and honestly I think chili's is more overrated than coco's, back home I wouldn't have touched chili's for a night out but a couple of my good friends love it), and only so many times can I eat McDonald's! (although, their freaking caramel macchiato mcflurry is freaking DELICIOUS!! I'm gonna go get one after work!) So when we get off work and want to sit down and eat some hot food instead of a sandwich I can run out and get some Coco's...quick and easy. It's already been established that I don't cook.

So. Coco's get's a thumbs up in my book.

Any other 24 hour joints out there? I'm open for suggestions.

Does McD's still have that caramel macchiato mcflurry? Is it a regular item now? It is awesome!

I think Joyful in the plaza by the convention center might be 24hrs. and I think Mos Burger, A&W and Yoshinoya is also.

[Carl]

I'm gonna let you all in on a little Coco's secret that my wife (former Coco's cook) told me. Don't waste your money on the spicy levels. Just get the regular spice. That "hot spice" on the table is the exact same stuff they use to make the different levels so just use that. The stores don't receive shipments of each level of spice; they only receive the regular spice and then they add the spiciness (thanks spellcheck!) themselves.

If you're ordering take-out, ask for the spice. It comes in little red packets and they are 10 yen each (which kind of sucks because the spice on the table is free when you dine in). One packet will probably bump you up to around level 4 (it's been a few years since I've ordered something other than regular though so I may be a little off).

[Asshat]

Or just eat a regular curry place where they use freshly ground Thai chilis. :)

[okigal]

Okay, so back when I lived in Okinawa... I loved CoCo's Curry. But I just have to throw this out there... I found this little curry spot here in Colorado that puts CoCo's to shame!!! Almost to the point where I will never eat at CoCo's ever again... unless I'm hungry after a drinking night on the town and can't find anything else to eat.

Ok I'm there in two weeks, where can I get good curry in Colorado? I know 'Thai spice" in Aurora on Leetsdale is good, especially the pineapple curry, but if there is another place, I am so there! Anywhere that I can educate the family on good food is wonderful!:D

Oh. Have yet to try a Mos Burger. Yoshinoya...eh, tried it, wasn't thrilled...which is weird I guess, considering my tastes. And I'll look for this "joyfull." Always looking to expand my menu

Thank you for the suggestions. :D

And yes, it's still there, or it was the other day. I hadn't been to mcdonald's for like a month before that time...last time I went it was some sort of green tea thing I think. I hope I didn't get onto the caramel macchiato mcflurry train just before the last stop!

If you are truly looking to expand your menu stay the hell away from Joyfull, Yoshinoya, MOSBurger or Coco's.

It's kind of like saying that you went to eat at Japan's version of KFC, ChiChi's or TGIFriday's....franchises that really dont sell good food, just fast food at fair prices, not great prices mind you fair prices.

If you like that kind of food, more power to you, if you dont...then get adventurous :D

I asked about late night places.

I do love this 'type' of food, but I love all food equally...If I could find someone to go restaurant diving with me I'd go more often. My friends and I are usually stuck in a rut about it though. :(

[Exidus210]

ive lived in chatan for about 6 months now and before i came here my friends told me that i just have to try cocos, so i went along for the ride and tried it.
it was good. but nothing to write home to mom about.
but when im out at a club or out drinking with friends i tend to go in there
so i guess the bottom line for me its amazing drunk food. haha

[Obe1Canole]

I had Coco's for lunch. It was just as amazing as last time I ate it:)

[gtlm2000]

I ate salad with curry. It was good.
I want to eat it again.

[Sharon]

It's not bad every once in a while. But I don't know how people can eat it so much like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. I know americans who have only eaten at Coco's and not anywhere else off base! Come on now, there are a ton of better places then Coco's.

go to Goo by the New MaxValu/Starbucks area on the way to Torii

their curry is pretty good

Are they really good pancakes? The place in Hamby, Cafe Caracalla is supposed to have good pancakes but they must've had a bad day when I went, I'm scared to try it again and probably won't.

[trissytrissy47]

I just ate CoCo's.

Best part is, someone delivered it to me at work!

Someone I am going to vigorously thank when I get home. ;)

[gliza]

i'm a coco's fanatic. always loved it. it isn't crap food and despite there being many other great places to eat off base, coco's is still the bomb.

anyways, i use to get beef cutlet and chicken cutlet but for the last four years i've just been getting cheese curry, level 5, with two spicy cocoroke's that i would cut up and throw in the mix.

good, good shit.

[bobber6]

Well I just tried it for the first time the other day..I have been on the island for about 7 months and have heard people talk alot about it, yes mostly americans. I went with thier suggestions of the chicken cutlet with garlic bits level 4 and the naan bread. Okay so CoCo's was good..definantly a lazy dinner thing..and I am not a coco virgin anymore. BUT...I am the adventerous type and will try anything so can someone tell me where to get real authentic yummy curry?

[Jazz]

Do a search for the word curry in the forum here.

[retributionnk]

Chicken katsu, level 7, double meat, omelette, sausage, cheese, mushrooms, and spinach mix. cuttlefish salad, nan bread, coco chiki. Ate it all in just under 30 mins tonight. Someone beat that?

edit: seriously though, I tried the hirekatsu for the first time today. It comes with 2 smaller pork cutlets (which are much more tender than the regular ones). It also comes with the special sauce that I'd never had before. Quite delicious, if I do say so.

Yes, It isn't "crap food", it is fast food for tastless people. Yes....There are many other great places eat Curry off base. CoCo's Curry is not one of them.

Does your diarrhea not last as long, and is it more managable after only the cheese curry from CoCo's? Or does the meat laced curry powered projectiles that launch outa your tail hole keep blasting holes in you toilet?

good, good shit.

Yeah, as far as shit goes, I guess it is OK.

I would rather eat any other real curry than that chow hall extension known as CoCo's. Do they take the Star Card there? I think you get a discount if you show your club card.

[retributionnk]

I find it hilarious how many people claim that CoCo's is crappy just because most Americans here love it. They talk down their noses about it and say it's 'fast food curry', 'diarrhea on a plate' etc etc etc. Most of the time, however, these folks are just being generally disagreeable. I'm not pointing any fingers, as people have their tastes in food. But the folks I'm talking to know who they are.

It's curry for ****'s sake. Curry is not exactly a gourmet food. Thai curry, Indian curry, Japanese curry, all are more considered what we Americans refer to as comfort foods. Generally carb-heavy and high in fat, and delicious!

Curries tend to have an overwhelming taste, and CoCo's is even more rich than your average. As far as there being better places to eat curry, I find most Japanese curry to be quite bland in comparison. In a perfect world, It'd be green Thai curry or Vindaloo Indian curry all the time. CoCo's IS fast food in comparison to those two. Just my personal taste though. :thumbup:

I say it's crappy because of the taste, not because of the Americans. At one time I thought it was good curry, until I tried other types and brands of curry and decided that coco's was mediocre at best. Not bad every once in a while but there is no way I could eat it more than every other month. IMO some of the best curries I have ever had have all been homemade:thumbup:.

I had this some chicken curry at the japanese market in Arlington Heights Illinois that was awesome. They had some type of teriyaki sauce on the chicken an then they put the curry on top of that, it was surprisingly good:thumbup:

It might not be diarrhea on a plate but it usually came out that way:D

[tim duncan]

just ate there last night....wanted to order the chicken katsu curry ..spicy sauce...but got the fried chicken instead....was thinking of having them fix the order, but since i have never tried the fried chicken just accepted the order....


the fried chicken at coco's is not good...it has good texture...but is tasteless...

will not order fried chicken curry ever again.....

[retributionnk]

Again to stress the deliciousity of the hirekatsu... I just had it 2 or 3 days ago, and I ate it again this afternoon... ******* TASTY! Uber tender for being deep fried.

Also, I wanted to throw a CoCo-question or 2 out there. What's everyone's favorite CoCo's? The CoCo's on 58 by navel kadena is the most consistent with spice, and the freshest in my experience...

second question... anyone know what year the coco-ichi spoon project started? I've got the spoons from 2005-present.

[Trail]

I finally found what I'll eat there: Half order "Tonkatsu" Pork Cutlet, double meat, base level. I add the spice and Worcestershire sauce.

Mr.Trail always gets the same ol' same ol' which I do not care for but he's crazy about. He could live of CoCo's and Subway for the rest of his life and eat the same damn thing from each place every time.

We go to the 23 CoCos

Please teach everyone here how in the heck when you are eating reconstituted curry roux mixed with water and poured next to rice that you can tell the difference in freshness?

Veggies ok....fish, meat, poultry, many times, but CURRY? You have to be kidding right?:scratchchin:

Can you not tell the difference between a fresh fast food burger and one that's been sitting under a heat lamp for an hour? Fresh french fries versus wilted old fries? That's the 'freshness' I'm talking about. Curry sauce that's been sitting in a pan for hours is thicker, darker, and doesn't taste as good as freshly prepared sauce.

Sheesh, I'm not claiming that CoCo's is uses farm-fresh ingredients for that down-home taste!

I'll proudly necro this thread to announce that, after a long hiatus from Okinawa, I've returned. I have re-acquainted myself with CoCo's in the form of what I like to call breakfast curry: Sausage curry with omelette and cheese mix, level 6. It was taste-tastic when I ate it at 6am! Side note: CoCo's curry haters are merely misguided people with a holier-than-thou attitude. Let it ring throughout the land that CoCo's curry is "pretty good," as well as "an excellent way to take the edge off a hangover," and, "way better than that f**king tamago mac you're eating."

[Jazz]

Well, this is probably gonna start a war. I'm almost even ashamed to say it but here goes, I've recently and secretly enjoyed CoCo's a couple times. I just can't live the lie anymore. Both times I sat there constantly looking around ad out the window at people and cars going by. I've been waiting to come out and see "CoCo's Lover" and "Traitor" painted on my car, lol.

So the thing is, it's not the greatest but is McDonalds the greatest burger you ever had? I highly doubt it but you eat there and enjoy it anyways. Same with CoCo's, it's not the best curry in the world (of course) but it's good shit. Had the Hirekatsu w/ cheese omelete, level 4, mixed in some of the sweet brown sauce and a bunch of pickles. MMMM good, it'll make you wanna slap your mama.

Come to think of it, why do people heavily criticize fast food restaurants for not having high quality tasting authentic entrees? It IS fast food after all. I could see people complaining or being remotely disappointed if it was advertised as exquisite ethnic curry and the place was named the Chateau Vindaloo.:)

It got up and said "**** this shit, I'm leaving." Then it proceeded to walk to ocean and swim away. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Probably had to close due to the economy or the owner did not want the business any longer.

Not sure, now that I think about they might have moved because the Hotto Motto(Hokka Hokka) that was next to it is gone too. Kind of strange that both places are out of there. I'm thinking someone is going to use that land for something else. That Hotto Motto moved next to Bekuri Donkey on 58.

[uriel]

<---- Not missing CoCo's. I am however at a loss at where to find ingredients to make homemade curry. Shoot, might have to drive down to Flint or Detroit for that. I'll have to remember the body armor. Do they make baby sizes?

just go into meijers in the asian/ethnic section and you should be able to find the curry rous, or solid curry base, somewhere in there, i do believe i've seen it there before. most likely it will be the "golden curry" brand. if not, as you said, go down to detroit. there is a pretty decently sized japanese element down there and you should be able to find it. and yes, body armor comes in baby sizes. did you leave or something?

Sure did and I think I like it there. It's probably the biggest parking area at any Hotto Motto. Well, until they build the new katsu joint next to it and leave them 3 parking spots:scratchchin:

Yes, I am back in the black hole that we know as "home." Meijer does not have the curry rouxs (bricks). I might just have Mr.Trail mail me a few from the BX.

Yeah, it's definitely a newb place. Kinda like the Banana Show. One of the silly things the new folks do when they get here. It just amazes me, with all the better Curry places around, people still eat that CoCo's poop. Or maybe it's just because it's close to the Base, and people don't have to venture to far out into scary Okinawa to eat good curry.

Curry House Fab on the seawall isn't too bad. Go for lunch, it's 700yen, and there are 6 types of curry, buffet style. 2 indian, 2 thai, 2 japanese. None of them are the greatest in the world, but it's friggin cheap!

[Jazz]

Yeah, Krishna's good, but in that category try Kastemandap near Sea Side Jet City Burger in Hamby by Araha beach. They also have a new building near 58 in Hamby around the corner from the Cow Cow car shop. They use more fresh ingredients than Krishna I think and are cheaper. Krishna's good and their Nan is the star of the show but...

Fab can't be beat for the price and view but their Nan is maamaa (so so). Plus it's a buffet so you'll likely hurt yourself there.

There's a kinda new (I think) place in Awase near the love-motels and it just says Curry House on the front. I hear they're good. I'll post back after I try it.

I just ate at Coco's. Had the okra and tofu curry.

Oh, the staff there is getting really tired of all the people calling in an order from their car in the parking lot and then expecting it to get brought out to them. The staff would like to remind you that Coco's does not in fact have a drive through and they don't have the manpower to keep going out to the parking lot to cater to you. Just FYI.

Didn't you know Marines deserve and expect that sort of treatment wherever they go? There's some good Marines but I see too many of these young assholes doing shit like this and they act like they can get away with it and like they're supposed to be treated like Gods cause they're here.

Had Kastamandap again yesterday. Ate at the new building by the Cow Cow. It was great. The curry, nan, tandoori chicken and salad were really good. But, I decided to wash it down with a Lassi which I know I don't like particularly. Something about drinking sour yogurt grosses me out. It works great with the hot spice but I'd rather have a beer for that. Too bad it was during working hours.

That makes me wonder. Not that any of you would admit it but who here has A beer or glass of wine w/ lunch? Is that against regulations?

In the AF they have what we call the 2-beer lunch. It was a tradition widely followed until recently, and no one would've been afraid to admit it. It still happens, once in a great while. :D

** edited for clarification **

I know y'all fat round-eyes that move down to the seawall do it because you say you love the ocean....but how about letting some of the people that are retired, or have been honorably discharged, or who work for the military party down there without you bitching about cars and people having fun. YOU get off base housing and COLA to live there, the owners will never rent to locals, because they know they can gouge the government for mega bucks a month, all we want to do is hang out at the seawall. Surf, scuba, party, etc..with out y'all acting like it's base housing. The area was way more fun before it became a AFN dish and Y plate area. Congatulations, American Military and Local Housing owners, y'all have made a cool area into a stuck up, pretentious, money grubbing, COLA pit of Hell. If it wasn't for Hard Reef, I would never come down there.

And before you newb's say ...."wait you drunk bum, this is my "hood", I was going there in '96 before you were even out of middle school, and still crying to your moms about kids picking on you for whacking off in your socks.

Sunabe/Miyagi used to be cool.

Holy whine-fest batman! Wipe the tears off your face, lift your head up, and walk away there, buddy.

Technically, AF can't go off base in their ACUs/BDUs either. However, you are allowed to eat lunch off base in your ACUs/BDUs and/or make a quick stop at the store on your way home if need be.
