I was in the area and needed a quick lunch and a bathroom break, and I remembered that there was a…read morerelatively new Mitsuwa in Northridge! This is one of the few Mitsuwa that doesn't have a food court (San Gabriel is another one without). The premade food section was surprisingly pretty good, better options than the Torrance or Santa Monica locations, imo. They do carry the same poke bowl that is also sold at Torrance. The store closes at 9:00pm, so the premade food section is pretty much cleared out and the self checkout is closed by around 8:00pm. The late hours actually got the busiest because only one staffed cash register was open and customers had to get in line instead of the self checkout. The store is clean and spacious, lots of self checkouts that are open during the day, and the bathrooms were clean (just need to get the code from a staff member!). I came three times on a weekday, once a little after lunch and another right around 5:30 and then around 8:00. Parking was a breeze every time. They have plenty of parking adjacent to the store. The other side of the shopping center gets a little busy, but Mitsuwa is at the comfortable corner closest to the train tracks. Getting out of the parking lot can be challenging because Tampa is a busy street and some people try to make a left turn out (I have my opinions about that lol). If heading out towards CSUN, the shopping center also has two exits out to Nordhoff so that worked well for me. I was in the area for a few job interviews... If I am hired nearby I'm definitely coming to this Mitsuwa a lot :)

I was recommended this place because I LOVE Korean BBQ and all the food that comes with it, but…read moresometimes I just want to enjoy it at home without having to cook everything myself. This was exactly what I was looking for! I got this at the food court from K Foods Everyone there was really nice and welcoming, and the amount of food we got was honestly impressive. I ordered enough for myself and three other people and we STILL had leftovers! Everything was perfect for bringing home, sharing, and getting that Korean BBQ experience without having to go out and cook at the table. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to when I'm craving Korean BBQ but want to enjoy it at home!

(두리분식, Duri Snack) 그렇지만 정말 배가 고팠기 때문에 그래도 조금 더 먹었다. 3분의 2쯤 먹었을 때는 아무리 배가 고팠지만, 그 독특한 냄새와 이상한 맛 때문에 더 이상 먹을 수가 없어서 사진만 찍고 나머지는 버리게 되었다. 김밥에는 날짜와 시간 기입란이 있었지만, 그곳에는 날짜와 시간이 없었다. 음식을 취급하는 업소는 꼭 날짜와 시간을 분명하게 기입해야 소비자는 그 음식을 신뢰하고 믿고 사 먹을 수가 있다. 오늘 갤러리아에서 산 김밥은 몇 개 씹고 난 이후부터 냄새와 맛이 이상하여 다 먹지 못하고 버리게 되었는데, 놀랍게도 날짜와 시간은 기록되어 있지 않았다. 먹은 지 한 시간이 지났음에도 역겨운 기분과 속이 메스꺼워 기분이 상당히 나쁘다. 2026년 9월 6일 오후 2시 Today, on my way to Bakersfield, I stopped by Galleria Market in Northridge because I was hungry and wanted something to eat. I bought a roll of kimbap there. Kimbap is a popular Korean snack that both adults and children enjoy. It is one of those foods that always tastes good no matter when you eat it. I was excited to have some kimbap, so I got back into my car and headed toward Bakersfield. While driving, I opened the plastic packaging and started eating it one piece at a time. Whenever I eat kimbap, it usually makes me happy. However, after eating about three pieces, I started noticing a strange taste. It did not have the familiar savory flavor of kimbap, the taste of the seaweed, or the flavor of the fish cake. Instead, there was a strange taste and odor that should not have been there. I checked the packaging for the production date, but there was no date or time recorded. (두리분식, Duri Snack) However, I was really hungry, so I continued eating a little more. By the time I had eaten about two-thirds of the kimbap, I could no longer eat it. No matter how hungry I was, the unusual smell and strange taste made it impossible to continue. I took some pictures and threw the rest away. There was a space on the packaging for the date and time, but it had not been filled in. Businesses that handle and sell prepared food should clearly indicate the date and time the food was prepared so that customers can trust the food they are purchasing. The kimbap I purchased at Galleria Market today had an unusual smell and taste after I had eaten several pieces, so I could not finish it and had to throw it away. What was even more concerning was that the date and time were not recorded on the package. It has been about an hour since I ate it, but I still feel nauseous and disgusted, and I am feeling quite uncomfortable. September 6, 2026, 2:00 PM

I left my wallet on a shopping cart here once outside the market and it was promptly returned to me. The checkout stand employees are always smiling and very sweet. Someone even helped me to car once without me asking. 2- the selection of alcohol here is pretty impressive. They have many rare bottles you can't easily find in most stores. 3- the quality of produce is top notch. Very fresh and delicious. 4- the pistachio cheesecake they sell in the bakery is a must try. It is by far the best dessert I have ever had. I always pick one up for gatherings and it's definitely a crowd pleaser. 5- the cleanliness of this market is next level. Always organized and well maintained. Whoever runs this place, you're doing an amazing job!

I loved that you could purchase already prepared meat like kebobs as well as they will cook it there for an additional $1.50 / lb - convenient. Overall, I will be returning.
