“ this spot is great for a quick lunch inside mitsuwa. i enjoyed the curry and the chicken, great portion! ”
“ Japanese curry. very comparable to Coco Ichibana. at a fraction of the price. Its in the Mitsuwa food court of Mitsuwa with Santouka, Gyutan, Mugimaru, Don Don Tei, and the newcomet Machi-chuuka. Also has soba (how i originally came across the food court, back then santouka was like minimum 1 hour wait so heck no, get soba instead), and various rice/unagi/tempura plates. Its kinda the variety stand compare to the ramen adjacent, and the tempura everything at the other end. Japan Beer is also here, and ive always been interested in the yuzu beer but no one is ever there so....looks awkward. Besides that it is prepared lightning fast, like i barely chose a table and claimed it before i was called, it is a more than decent portion of simple but very filling and yummmy japanese curry. Of particular mention the rice they use....is very different from other rices i usually come across. Its not short grain, seems almost medium but its got the firm almost chewyness of short grain and its rice sweetness. You can swirl it around into the pool of curry along with the pickled red crunchy stuff and its like food-explosion food-explosion all up in your mouth. I didnt get offered any spicy options but its perfect for me, barely a hint of flavorful spice but not even close to making me cry and dread lava coming out the other end. The beef is very soft slices, some almost fall apart, others need a bit of chewing, its ok. the pork cutlet tho is spot on, on par with coco. Cons are its served lukewarm, rice is cold and actually feels clumpy like its old? but otherwise at $10 its a bargain (Curry Do would be $16, Coco Ichi is like $15, i havent been back to Curry house in decades i dont even know if theyre still around). Its a japanese food court. Sit anywhere except someone elses lap or on the ground.You got couple tables, group tables, rows of tables, high tables, booths, countertops. whatevers your fancy. Weekdays plenty of parking outside or in the garage underneath. Weekends get ready to rumbleeeee! it gets ultrapacked with families, and even off meal hours its still tooth and claw, people zooming around the wrong one way lane underneath parking. The other thing that i love here besides the 6 food choices....mitsuwa and daiso are part of the court.....so even more snacks, drinks, prepacked foods are at your choice. But as amazing as this food court is....i feel like thailand mall food courts dwarf japanese food courts both in massive options (rows of stands, wall to wall) and price ($1 for this item, $2 bowl of watever that is, $3 for premium plate, $5 for a mango smoothie why is the smoothie so expensive, etc) I never really thought of it before but Miyabi-tei is the only "stand" in the food court that doesnt really advertise its anglicized name, if u look at the square wall sign, its in like size 10 font along the bottom circle. but it blends in like a signature. ”
“ They serve a lot of food relatively cheaply. The food court is improving. There was a time that it started getting rundown, but we noticed the recent improvements. The service was a little slow, so keep that in mind if you've got somewhere to go! Overall, this is a good option within the food court. ”
“ Miyabi-Tei is one of the eateries inside Mitsuwa market in Costa Mesa. We always get the beef curry or pork/chicken cutlet curry with rice. Each entree is plentiful and delicious and at $9.95, is a exceptionally good deal in this day and age. Service is order at the counter and they call out your order. It's very loud and a bit chaotic in the food court but also fun and a nice experience. They have a loyalty stamp card too! ”
“ Yummmmmmm!!! Delicious rice bowls! It's definitely one of my favorite vendors inside the food court here at Mitsuwa Market. Also very nice and friendly. Despite that I was not familiar with their menu, the cashier was patient and friendly while I ordered and asked questions. Be sure to join their frequent diner card, may as well get rewards for all the money I've spent dining and taking out. They're busy but they're very efficient and I've received quick service. Very large portions, in my opinion. ”
“ Mitsuwa marketplace hosts some tasty, Japanese dining portions all packed together very conveniently. The service at Miyabi was good, went During lunch hour and Relatively short line. I tried their udon soup and pork cutlet with egg special. Could use more meat in the cutlet but otherwise it came out really well And was super tasty. It was a packed house in the dining Hall but there are enough seats to go around and didn't have a problem finding seating. Environment is roomy enough and can do some shopping at the market or Daiso afterwards too! ”
“ Huge portions! I ordered the pork cutlet curry and it came with pickled radish on the side. The cutlet was crispy with a thin outer batter. This curry is more on the liquid-y side so the rice and cutlet just absorb all that sauce. Overall, the food here is quite tasty so I come here often whenever I'm at Mitsuwa. Staff was nice and the food comes out fast. They hand you your food on a big tray and once you're finished you just leave everything on the table for them to clean up. ”
“ One of the good eateries at the Mitsuwa Food Court. Take a break from grocery shopping or just come to this location and have your fill of rice bowls and curries! My favorite has been their Oyakodon - it's simple with pork, egg, and rice. You can also opt for their combo plates, which includes a small bowl of miso soup, a salad, and rice. And if you order any of their beef dishes, they will also be very fantastic. This is definitely my go-to, whenever I visit this Mitsuwa Food Court. As all Food Courts, this place can also have a bit of a wait. Do expect about 10 minutes (or more...) for your dish to come out. But once you get it, you'll definitely enjoy that meal! ”
“ I had an excellent lunch at Miyabi-Tei, which is located in the Mitsuwa Marketplace food court. They don't seem to have a written menu, but they have examples of what they serve in their display menu. There were so many good options to choose from, but I decided to try their Pork Katsu Curry with rice ($9.99). The cashier asked if I wanted to add a side salad for $1, to which I said sure. The total cost with tax came out to $11.80. I was given a number and waited at my table for a while. When I picked up my order, it looked great. Even better, the meal tasted as good as it looked! The pork katsu was crispy and the curry was flavorful. The rice was nice and soft and the salad was fresh! The entire meal was delicious as all the flavors went to well together. I would definitely order this again, however, I want to try many other items on their menu. The food court was bright and fairly clean. It was packed so getting a table might be a bit challenging. The staff at Miyabi-Tei provided good service. The food was excellent, the staff were great, and the dining atmosphere was pleasant. 5 stars! ”
“ I am surprised how reasonably priced Miyabi-Tei is. Hopefully, I didn't jinx it. It seems like food prices in most restaurants have been inflated recently. It was a treat to get a quick and fast lunch. I decided to get away from my Santouka Ramen that I get 90% that I visit and go with some curry. The curry is perfect for the slight chilly weather we are having in SoCal. When I arrived for an early lunch, Miyabi-Tei was the only restaurant with a line so you know it's good or there is a good special. The service was quick. Before I could buy a boba at another restaurant my food was ready. I added a miso soup on the side and the portion was just the right amount without leaving me overstuffed. Only slight food coma as I dragged myself back to work. Maybe it's better to visit when I don't have to rush back. You can't go wrong with most of the Mitsuwa food court. Happy 2024 Y'all! SYOY ”
