“Best omakase menu in the suburbs.“

“the food is yummy / authentic japanese ! the service is great ,“

“More people absolutely need to pay Carlos a visit.

Immaculate tempura and generally have your order ready quick and fresh.

I got the Edomar Tempura plate and loved it.
I especially love how when you get the plate they include the grated daikon in your tentsuyu! The only place in the US I've seen even include it.

Absolutely try it out if you haven't yet. I highly recommend any combo that includes a shishito pepper with it!“

“If you like chocolate then this is definitely a place worth visiting. There is an interwebs video thingy about how they make the chocolate which inspired us to visit. The chocolate is more european in style, and also not too sweet. I loved it and also exploring the japanese market nearby. A fun afternoon!“

“We love this place and we will going to miss it“

“This continues to be my favorite place in the food court. The food is always fresh. You can't go wrong with what you get. The curry is the best one out of all the places in the food court. The Udon noodles are always perfectly cooked. They offer fresh tempura flakes, green onion, ginger, sauces, and seasonings on the side as well. Highly recommend trying! Staff are always kind and efficient.“

“Very good quality fish. great service“

“They had yakitori, which I tried. I ordered the chicken thigh, pork belly, and sausage. Everything is cooked to perfection and smells good from the charcoal fire. The pork belly is my favorite because of the fat, the meat was crispy and tender. I ordered the karaage don (mayo & poached egg) as my main course. I believe the teriyaki sauce was overdone. As a result, the chicken lost its crunch.“

“Curry has good flavor. Yakisoba has good flavor, but mixing the two in the same dish was too much. The yakisoba also comes with thinly sliced pork mixed in so it's not vegetarian. The karage chicken had good crunch and was soft on the inside but seemed over priced for the quantity given. There's a good variety of side sauces that you can put in to go cups yourself at the counter. The wasabi soy sauce was the best. There's a long wait time.“

“Enjoyed a simple but incredibly tasty lunch with the BlueFin tuna and crunchy rolls that were soooo good. Yum!!!!😊👍“

“Located in the food court of the Mitsuwa Marketplace (on the west side of the food court just to the right of the hallway to the bathrooms), this Japanese restaurant had a good selection of food, in usual Japanese tradition- had visual representations of all the meals, and the prices were good. This was my wife & I's first time eating at this place, and we enjoyed the food a lot. They accept cash which is huge in my opinion as a lot of the businesses and restaurants inside Mitsuwa do not accept cash; I tipped them as a result & told them Thank You for accepting cash. The lady who took our order was very friendly and answered our questions about the food with a huge smile on her face. Seating is located in the general food court area so you can't really say much about the food court other than it is very busy if you go around lunch time on the weekends, but you'll find plenty of seating for lunch on a week day.

Plenty of fun things to do before or after eating in Mitsuwa as well from the grocery store, book store, One Piece card game store, boba tea, and lots of other restaurants and food vendors.“
