Their website is dead, Reddit is outraged, and Twitter is blowing up with reports of Curry House closures, with some saying the parent company has shuttered Southern California locations of the popular restaurant chain specializing in Japanese-style curry dishes.
NBC Los Angeles reporter Darsha Philips reported from one closed location this morning:
Curry House abruptly closes all 9 of its locations without warning to employees or customers - leaving many craving curry and asking why. @NBCLA pic.twitter.com/AkSb5h6R9u
