Where to start
Curry Hyuga: a curry meal
19650 Stevens Creek Boulevard
Curry Hyuga's location page confirms its Cupertino address. Its merchant website describes Japanese curry with toppings including pork cutlet and potato croquettes.
Choose this as the meal stop if you want curry before shopping. Check the Cupertino schedule in particular, since the restaurant lists a weekly closing day and breaks on some service days.
One Pot Shabu Shabu: a hot pot alternative
19648 Stevens Creek Boulevard
One Pot's website places its Cupertino restaurant inside the Marketplace plaza and lists this address. Shabu shabu is the focus, with a choice of broths and ingredients.
Make this the main meal if your group wants hot pot. Compare the current menu and serving arrangements before choosing, and check the Cupertino branch rather than the separate San Jose location.
Tokyo Central: the grocery stop
19750 Stevens Creek Boulevard
The Cupertino store announcement confirms the change from Marukai to Tokyo Central at this address. The current store locator also lists the Cupertino branch.
Use the store's current information when planning a Japanese grocery shop. Leave refrigerated and frozen purchases until you are ready to head home, particularly if you have a restaurant meal planned first.
A meal and groceries on Stevens Creek
Choose Curry Hyuga or One Pot as the main meal. They are alternatives for this itinerary, so there is no need to fit both into one visit. Finish at Tokyo Central if groceries are on your list.
About two hours gives you a planning allowance for a meal and shopping, although service and browsing can take longer. A grocery visit alone can be shorter.
Before you go
Older directories can still show Marukai and businesses that have moved. Use the current merchant links and individual street numbers in this guide, and follow posted parking rules at the center.
