I don't like giving one star reviews but my wait for fried rice is exceedingly unreasonable. At time of writing this review, it's been over a 50 minute wait for my dinner even though the cashier said it was going to be 10 minutes at time of purchase. I would have not tipped at time of payment had I known it was going to be this long. I'm also disappointed that nothing was really acknowledged/compensated.

Food was great, was more expensive for mitsuwa standards but very fair and it was worth it. Workers were also nice and helpful

It’s a treasure: a Chinese/Japanese place that provides actually safe guten free options. Many thanks to Kazu for guiding me through my choices and even having my my fried rice remade without imitation crab.

Vegetarian options: Seems to be some stuff

Dietary restrictions: They actually make gluten free work I am pretty sure. Kazu actually listened to my explanation and did his best to get me safe food. I bet it would be that way for another allergy too.

Parking: Lot gets full, but there’s a garage

Kid-friendliness: I mean, it’s tasty

Wheelchair accessibility: Looks pretty good

I'll try it again. It tasted like it needed salt. Maybe I expected more. Next time I'll order a different item. They just opened up when I came so maybe they are getting settled in.

I’m so happy this place is now in Costa Mesa! Menu is limited but the Chanpon ramen and fresh made gyoza is top notch

Will return because the food was great. An Asian friend recommended I eat here and it's authentic Asian food, as one would expect with such a recommendation.

I sent pics to a different Asian friend who gets offended when I eat "fake Asian" food, such as Pei Wei (which I have no problem with)... He saw the Mapo Tofu, which I'd never heard of before, and was really excited ?

The dumplings had so much flavor! I tried fried this time, next time I'm going to try the other ones.

The surroundings didn't give me high expectations, but I had an amazing lunch combo with the most flavorful fried rice I've ever had.

The Mapo Tofu on its own wasn't flavorful enough for me, so I combined it with the rice and that fixed the issue, because the rice was so good it carried enough flavor for both.

I would prefer to not eat in a food court, but as this is the best Asian I've had in California (I live in Oceanside and can't find anything like this), I'll be back next time I'm in the area... It's worth it.

The food took longer to make than I expected, but that's because it's not "fast food," even though the venue sets the expectation that it will be.

I parked at the 711 next door and walked due to the parking lot being full, but there were tables available so that wasn't a problem.

I think because of the parking and the fact that the food takes a while, this isn't a place I would rush to if I were in a hurry, but I certainly don't want to eat such a wonderful meal in a hurry, anyhow.

The service was very friendly and he even gave me a free drink to compensate for accidentally calling me to come get my order before it was complete. That was so kind!

Vegetarian options: They have tofu as a main portion.

the container was broken
Mapo tofu is sweet and full of potato starch lumps.
Shrimp fried rice has less shrimp and is small.
Only Jajangmyeon was well received.
