Currywurst Tasting for Yelpers

I have always been a huge sausage lover… WHOA! Did I just say that?! That is gonna be hard to live down! But who cares, I’m secure with my love for sausage and women. Especially my gf who is also in love with sausage and me heh heh. alright, enough!
Currywurst offered a sausage to Unilocalers between 7−8pm so it was a natural reaction for us «brat» enthusiasts to get on the guest list and take advantage of this awesome deal. As we bravely maneuvered through LA’s awful traffic (being that ANYTIME is rush hour here unless it is a Sunday at 3am); we arrived at our destination, behind an entourage of cars waiting for «2 for 1» free gallon of gas at the Shell station on Fairfax/​Beverly. No car congestion could stop us, however, as we found parking instantly (my gf always jokes that I have a gift of parking luck, and I believe it sometimes).
The smell from Currywurst wafted out street side, with an open door. It was aromatic even around the block and then correspondingly freezing inside the establishment… which was an awful distraction.
I ordered the Bockwurst, which was a veal and pork combination. It is slightly pale in color probably due to the veal being more prominent. It was served in a sandwich and I chose caramelized onions and the house mustard as my toppings. The mustard was homemade as opposed to the store brought types and was a spicy honey-​mustard with a thick consistency. I don’ t usually enjoy this type of mustard but served on the warm roll, it had a good snap and was spiced perfectly which complimented the sweet balsalmic-​y tasting onions nicely.
My gf got the Hungarian sausage w/​kraut and took it to go due to the late hour and her healthy living. She had to exhibit her willpower (it was hard to watch me eat, I’m sure).
As I was finishing my brat, we noticed that there were about 30+ sausage on the grill remaining and the employees were asking Unilocalers if we wanted free sausages to go! This gave heavy points to Currywurst in my book and which is what upped my rating to 4 stars. I would definitely go back to Currywurst when I’m in the area.
Currywurst is sausage-​lover approved!

Imagine my surprise when I saw a Unilocal event being held right down the street from where I work! Since I’m usually not this lucky to score such an awesome treat with a such short drive time, I was stoked when I was confirmed in! Thanks Katie B! :)
Despite working in the area, I actually didn’t even know this was here prior to the event, so I’m glad to find yet another cool place to grab a bite for lunch.
On this night, I tried the Bockwurst with sautéed onions, homemade Mustard and Garlic Fries on the side with Curry Ketchup!
The Bockwurst was cooked nicely, and was still moist and tender. The flavor had a nice balance with the veal, and there was a nice snap to the casing when you bit into it. Love that! Very similar to what you find when you bite into a Pinks hot dog. The sautéed onions added a nice touch to the ensemble, and the house mustard added a nice touch, without being too overpowering. I really liked their Garlic Fries paired with the Curry Ketchup! The Curry Ketchup had a nice sweet taste followoed by the tang of the curry mixed in. I loved the flavor combo, especially when paired with the Garlic Fries!
Overall, a very good effort. Since there were a few of us Unilocalers hanging back to loiter and commiserate, we ended up being that last ones there and were even offered another round by the gracious crew at Currywurst! (I ended up getting the Hungarian sausage, excellent!) They are awesome. Friendly, and very good service along with the good food makes for a great place to eat!
I’ll definitely be coming back again!

Yay! FREE brats! Thanks for the awesome event! I had Bockwurst with sauteed onions with homemade mustard. Delicious. I’m going back for Chicken Thueringe!
I also used Unilocal check-​in offer.

This was a great promo event. People staggered in, so there wasn’t a big line at any time. I had the Hungarian while my friend had the chicken. The sausages are huge, it made for a full meal (for us girls at least!). I really liked the mustard choices here. The fries were amazing as well.
Had a fun time here. I will surely come back and try the other hit dogs. Thanks Katie B for arranging this awesome event!

Thank you Katie B for this amazing promo… it was a fun event. I had the Hungarian sausage with sautéed onions and their homemade mustard. I was going for the multigrain mustard but the server taking my order insisted I try the homemade one first and was she right! It’s so amazing… slightly sweet but oh so spicy, went perfectly with the Hungarian sausage.
Loved the fact that the owner made an effort to explain to my vegan friend why they weren’t offering the vegan sausages that night (the entire stove had the meat sausages cooking and he didn’t want to mix the vegan stuff with the pork and chicken sausages).
The service was friendly and I enjoyed the organic ginger ale along with the sausages. Cute date place… I will definitely be back!

This is my first time trying German fast food. I have to say I am pretty impressed! Where do I begin? First, I would like to compliment on their service. I had a couple of questions on what to order including the type of mustard and they were pretty helpful. Personally, I am not a mustard fan (except for honey mustard), so I decided to skip on that condiment. I ended up trying their hungarian sausage hotdog with grilled onions and garlic fries as a side. Their other choices of sausages include bockwurst and chicken thuringer. I chose the hungarian sausage because it had a spicy flavor to it. My sister ordered the bockwurst and I thought it was a little bland, but the hungarian sausage is really delicious! There is a smoky and spicy flavor to it and it definitely balances out the grilled onions.
One thing I have to mention is that their grilled onions were a little on the sweet side for me. They give you a lot of grilled onions, which is a good thing, but I wish it was not that sweet!
I like how they have an open kitchen so you see what the kitchen workers do and you can see the food you ordered cooked right in front of you! Oh yeah, in case you guys do not know already, during all of February, they are serving free hotdogs every Tuesday at 7:00PM. What a steal!

Thank you Unilocal for getting me to Currywurst. Honestly, I don’t get over to this part of town as much as I used to, so this gave me a convenient excuse to nosh on some sausages, free of charge.
They offered 3 types of their sausages. Their fourth menu option, the vegetarian, was not available and I did not get a chance to sample the chicken sausage. But, I did get a chance to try the Bockwurst with ‘kraut and it was pretty good. That veal and pork combo was pretty tight. I was hoping for more of kick to it, but it was still a nice, hearty treat. I also tried the Hungarian and it was good, but not quite as much as the Bockwurst in my opinion.
It was a nice treat to sample Currywurst’s month long promotion of free sausages every Tuesday this month at 7pm, for a short 20 minute and 12 second window.

Loved this place, from its clean, streamlined interior to the friendly owner and staff. *Everything You Ever Wanted/​Needed To Know About Wurst* is posted, for your edification. (And they make quite the case for sauerkraut, but …)
I had the Hungarian w/​grilled onions and homemade mustard. Oooh, the juicy, smoky, savory-​sweet goodness, as the flavor developed more & more with each bite — UUU-​mami!!! (Wish I could rewind & experience it for the First Time all over again! ;)
Thanks for another winner, Katie B!

Currywurst. Sausage tasting with two friends. Results:
Sausage:
Hungarian — good, all pork, mild spiciness, my fav of the three
Bockwurst — good, one of the tastier bockwursts I’ve had
Chicken — ok, but if I’m eating sausage and had a variety to choose from, it ain’t going to be the chicken one. I’m biased. I never met a chicken sausage that I liked
Other:
Homemade mustard = sweet mustard maybe a touch of wasabi, too sweet for me
Fries — fresh cut and double fried. I got mine with garlic — yum!
Grilled onions — caramelized until sugary, if this is the flavor that you want, then by all means!
Sauerkraut — standard
I thought the toppings were too much, but if you were paying for them, they are a $ 1 extra, I would expect that much or more. The volume of toppings threw off the balance of the wurst, but that was easily remedied by knocking off half and eating them separately.
So my next order will be Hungarian or Bockwurst with saurkraut and whole grain mustard and garlic fries.

The Bockwurst’s were soooo Huge!!! Seriously they were larger than I expected and very good! Mary & I both added fries & drinks to what were 2 very large sausages making this a very deluxe and filling meal…
When we walked in all we could see were stoves loaded with sausages & Unilocalers manhandling what were very delicious freebees!!! Great hook up Katie B. We liked it very much so much we also added to our bill one extra order of Garlic Fries & Hungarian which were put to sleep by Mary’s son.
So thanks Currywurst for a very good reason to come back…

Choose your sausage, choose your mustard/​sauce, choose your topping (s) and that is it. Simple and straightforward. Tried both the Hungarian sausage and the Chicken thuringer (sausage). (The Hungarian is billed as slightly spicy, but was so slightly spicy that I couldn’t tell.) Both sausages were large and very tasty. Good snappy casing on both sausages. Excellent!
Tried the Homemade Sweet+Spicy sauce on the Hungarian and is was exactly that, both very sweet and very spicy. The whole-​grain mustard was very, very good.
Both dishes I tried had the sauerkraut on top. It is a warm and soothing kraut. Not too sharp but still a little crunchy.
Had a great time and will definitely be back! Will have to try the fantastic bottled drinks/​sodas and European non-​alcoholic beers. The french fries and the vegan Mexican chipotle sausage are on the must try list.

I like wieners and I am not ashamed to say so… loudly and often… in public… which usually embarrasses the people I am with.
Thank you Katie B. for helping me find a new place to engage in my obsessive wiener-​eating behavior. Currywurst is a very simple but very delicious concept — Pick your sausage of choice, choose a mustard or sauce, choose your topping. order side items, then move to the register, order drinks and pay. We order both the Hungarian sausage (it was supposed to be spicy but wasn’t really that spicy) and the Chicken thuringer sausage. Both sausages were big and yummy. We had mustard and sauerkraut on both sausages and it was a great combination.
Thanks Katie B. and Currywurst owner Kai for the yummy free wieners!!! We had a great time and will definitely return to embarrass my friends and eat more wieners!!!

Like most people of a first-​generation ethnicity, I’m a snob with my culture’s cuisine. When a restaurant offers Hungarian plates, I expect it to be «right on» or I become very defensive about how we are represented. When I saw that Currywurst was having a free promo AND that they serve «Hungarian Sausage», I squinted my eyes and was ready for a full-​on taste test, clipboard in hand (okay, I’m exaggerating).
Located across from CBS, Currywurst is a small establishment but surprisingly VERY clean. Patrons can watch the sausages being cooked and will be pleased that the cooking area is rather spotless and sparse lacking any garbage/​used cleaning rags/​etc laying around. That is a very high pleasing factor in my book. Furthermore, the employees were very friendly and fast with their service. Never did they seem annoyed or overwhelmed and made everyone feel welcome.
As for the sausage, I ordered the Hungarian Sausage w/​sauerkraut and house mustard (usually almost $ 7), while my boyfriend had the Brockwurst with sauteed onions. To add to my sausage tasting? Unilocalers received a FREE sausage to-​go (they had extras at the end of the event) so I took a Chicken Thueringer home with sauteed onions.
Now, I have a unique alternative to offer in terms of flavor as I didn’t eat these on the spot. I rarely allow myself to eat at late hours so I took the sausages home and ate them the next day. Thus, I can vouch for the fact that Currywust’s meals «keep» quite well. The textures were in tact, flavorful, not soggy, etc. The Brockwurst was a little too bland for me but the Chicken was delicious. Tasting light like a turkey sausage, it matched well with the sweetness of the caramelized onions and the tartness of the vinegar-​y house mustard (which is a VERY tasty mustard and recommended).
The best sausage? All bias aside: the Hungarian. The flavors were very much like the Hungarian sausages I know and love (although it could have used a bit more spice), and the texture was quite close, as well (although a bit too soft). It paired well with the sauerkraut and was VERY filling. These are some big sausages! I can’t offer any words on the buns, as I don’t eat bread-​type products so I had my sausages bun-​less.
Currywurst isn’t necessarily a destination I would drive specifically to but it is a place I would go back to when in the area. They would fair better being located in the Farmer’s Market but the food is good enough to have successful potential. Plus, Unilocal check-​ins get you 10% off your total bill!
Negative? Parking. But that is always a negative.
Bottom line, this Hungarian approves of the sausage at Currywurst. Bringing my Hungarian culture to LA folks, one sausage at a time.

Currywurst is best in town! I have not been to any other restaurants that only sells bratwursts. But this is definitely the place I’ll go from now on when I am craving some bratwursts!
I ordered the bockwurst which is a mixture of veal and pork. It is really juicy and the outer casing of the bratwurst has a nice crunch. I ordered the grilled onions. Curry wurst doesn’t skimp out on the onions! They packed a big handful of grilled onions on my bratwurst. The only thing that I can pick on is that the onions were a little too sweet for me. I also ordered French fries with the garlic mayo on the side. The garlic mayo was bomb!!! I think I can dunk anything in the garlic mayo and it will taste good! :P

Emily S. likes thick and juicy Hungarian sausages in her mouth! O.o. Yes, she did actually write that.

FREE Sausages to celebrate the New Years is awesome. Came out here for the Unilocal event and of course Thanks to Katie B. I was confirmed for this event. My friend and I had trouble deciding which ones to get so we got the Hungarian, and the Chicken Thueringer. We wanted to sample all three so we ordered an extra Currywurst with Bockwurst. Our order taker was really nice and helpful, offering suggestions.
On to the taste and flavors. We got the Hungarian and Chicken Thueringer with sauteed onion and homemade mustard. It’s not a traditional hot dog bun, it’s more like a roll with. Onions were sauteed and tasted pretty sweet and flavorful. The homemade mustard was sweet and spicy. Had a nice little kick to it. Between these two I would have to say the Hungarian was my favorite. The wurst had a buttery taste to it.
The Currywurst with Bockwurst was cut up to bite size pieces covered in a curry ketchup sauce. I really liked this sauce and the Bockwurst was moist and flavorful as well. I didn’t have room to even eat the bun on the side. This one was the favorite of the night.
Really small location with 3 tables and a long table against the wall with a few seats. Interior is clean and simple. You can see them making your Wurst. Definitely a quick eat spot. Parking is harder to find, but it’s street parking with meters.

Who said that there’s no such thing as a free lunch? I know I took a banger in the mouth for free thanks to Unilocal.
Wait, that’s all coming out wrong.
Besides having a gas station give out free gas a block away, causing a cluster f— of a mess finding parking, which is normally a tough task there to begin with, this Unilocal deal was pretty sweet.
Free Currywurst sausage, which was distinctively different than any sausage I have had, thanks to the helpful power of curry. Or something. Yeah, the place was pretty well set up to handle the flood of Unilocalers that would be testing out their promotional limits in the weeks to come as every Tuesday they’ll be offering free sausages for the first 20 minutes and 12 seconds.
A random number, I thought, til Katie B, in all her knowledge dropped the realization that it’s to honor the year. 2012. Okay, I guess I’ll take that as a great explanation.
Over all, they were really nice, service was great and chilling with a cool crowd of Unilocalers is always a winning combination.
Awesome event, and you can take part of it as well, if you just show up for the month of Feb on Tuesday nights for that 20:12 time frame.

Free food is always awesome and currywurst was no exception. Came here with the fiancé and got a free Hungarian sausage with sauteed onions and homemade mustard. We also ordered garlic fries with a ranch aioli and a drink.
We thought it was delicious and filling and we liked it even better than wurstkuche! It was so yummy and the fries were SO good. The fiancé said he liked the garlic fries even better than the ones at dodger stadium (I disagree because I was missing the chunks of garlicky goodness).
But we would definitely come back again. Thanks currywurst! You got yourself another customer =)

The dogs were yummy and the customer service was very generous.
The HUNGARIAN SAUSAGE (PORK) SLIGHTLY SPICY and CHICKEN THÜRINGER (CHICKEN) were both delicious with SAUTÉED ONIONS.
Bought the GARLIC FRIES WITH CURRY KETCHUP. Didn’t love the ketchup but I can see how others did. Excited to try the other sauces.
Get in on the free Feb promo: free sausage every Tuesday in February from 7pm-7:20pm!

I was lucky enough to score confirmation for getting in to the Currywurst Tasting for Unilocalers. I came here with my brother in law so we were able to order two different kinds of sausages.
I ordered the Chicken Thueringer with sauteed onions and mustard. He ordered the Hungarian with sauteed onions and homeade mustard.
Between the two, I loved the Hungarian sausage (made with pork) more. It says on the menu that this was spicy but I did not think it was too hot. The Hungarian sausage was a good size… thick and juicy, I loved the good amount of onions that were on top of it. It wasn’t too much onion for me.
The Chicken sausage however was thin and dry, but the sweet mustard and the onions on top helped make it better.
I’d probably order just the Hungarian sausage next time I go.
In addition to the two sausages, we also ordered a side of their garlic fries. When we go them, they were drenched in garlic. LOVE. You can’t have garlic fries without a ton of garlic on it. We even made it more garlic-​y with a side of Garlic Mayo.
Let me just say, garlic fries go well with hungarian sausages. So good, that I was even adding more of the spilled garlic to the top of my sausage.
The customer service here was great. .. we hung around the establishment for a bit, and they came by and offered us another round of free sausages!
The event was very well organized thanks to Katie B and Currywurst. I will be back!
