Ume & takana onigiri
Kerry K.

I remember when I heard this Mitsuwa was opening and I couldn't wait. There were long lines during their grand opening week but I still managed to go. The food court was so crowded and difficult to order as there were long waits for food. I was just so happy that there was a food court. After the excitement passed I noticed it was a bit small then I went to pick up some groceries and seen how small the grocery side was that I couldn't believe it. There are barely any aisles for any sort of groceries and the prices are high. Even the sale items I feel are higher than I can get at other Japanese markets. This should have been at least double the size or they should have just made it all a food court or simple grocery store. I will still try to support it but it's tough to get groceries as their prices are much higher. As the newness has worn down, it's much easier to get in and out to pick up some things. Unfortunately for the business that there's a lot less foot traffic.

Driving home from work and I was craving some sashimi and maybe a roll. I stopped in and got my sashimi sampler and spicy tuna roll. Checkout was super quick and I was in my way. Sashimi was super delicious and fresh. Tuna roll was great! They were out of ginger unfortunately

I've been to Mitsuwa marketplace before, but this is my first time to this location. It looks more on the brand new side. Everything was super clean. Well placed very good lighting really friendly service. If you've been to Mitsuwa before, they're all pretty much laid out the same great food lots of Japanese trinkets. There's a grocery store that has food and snacks in the back. The grocery store has bentos and a lot of fish, sashimi pre-sliced and cool drinks. The food court in the front is why we came here. We tried pretty much everything they had Ramen and onigiri also gyoza. They have so much food to choose from. Everything was freshly made. Super tasty and well prepared. Friendly service and the food comes out fast. They also have a store that sells the famous Royce chocolates. Give this place a try and happy eating...

Relatively new marketplace that opened up in the area. The place is very clean, brightly lit, with a cozy seating area. I like that they have a variety of vegetables, meats and other frozen products that you can cook, and I love the great variety of convenient hot and cold items that you can get to go. I'm going to say it again, I love the wide variety of to go items such as sushi to bento boxes. I also like that there are other vendors nearby selling raman, chocolates etc.

This Mitsuwa is not overly crowded and has ample parking. The size reminds me of Irvine's location, but much nicer and new (used to be an Office Depot I believe and opened last year). Specifically came for the food court and ate ramen at Santouka around 5pm on a Saturday - no lines. You can also find a K. Minamoto and Royce Chocolate at the entrance too. The marketplace shelves can seem a bit bare and unorganized with some display lights off (perhaps to save energy?). However, there is still a variety/selection and grocery essentials. There was only 1 employee working a cashier and the self checkout lanes were closed off.

Half off finds at 6:30. Each was $5.99

I'm not sure why the bad reviews. Yes the actual grocery store is tiny. Reminds me of going to Family Mart, Lawson or 7-11 in Japan. They have the necessities and a good selection of sushi and ready made foods. If you go around 6-6:30 all their fresh made items are marked half off. Be prepared the older Japanese ladies will run your ass over for those nigiri's. Everything is exceptionally clean and organized. The food court was packed and had a good selection of foods. Of course the famous Tendon Tempura Carlos Jr is there. A lot of people have negative reviews but give it a few tries... everything is still new and they are trying to get things together. I'm glad they opened this Mitsuwa. It's right next door to my favorite other stores, Trader Joe's and Costco!

This location of the chain of Japanese markets is on the smaller side, similar to the Irvine location. The selection is obviously more limited than the huge stores in Costa Mesa or Torrance, so it's unfair to compare it to those, but I still found the items I usually purchase on my Mitsuwa outings (chocolate-covered macadamia nuts, mochi ice cream, teriyaki sauce, curry, etc.). It's a great place to buy Japanese snacks! The woman at checkout was very friendly and personable. There is a small food court here with 3 or 4 options (glad to see Santouka Ramen is here) and the Royce chocolates stand near the entrance is impressive.

In the food court there's a matcha counter. There are variety of ways you can get your matcha. I like coconut milk in mine but they only had milk , low fat and soy milk. Not sure if there's almond milk It's has drinks I like in that store.

It was my first time visiting this location, and I usually go to the one in Costa Mesa. This one felt less crowded, which I appreciated, but it also had fewer food options. I ordered the karaage with curry. The food came out hot and fresh, which was a plus. The curry itself was pleasant, leaning a bit on the sweeter side. The karaage had a light batter and was fried nicely the chicken was juicy and paired well with the curry. Overall, while the food was enjoyable, I'd still prefer going to the Costa Mesa location because it offers more variety when it comes to food.

Finally a mitsuwa closer to me! Although this store is much smaller than the one I usually frequent in Costa Mesa, they still offer the same things I usually get so it's definitely more convenient for me. It's also less traffic going this way rather than towards Costa Mesa. This Mitsuwa also has a decently sized food court with one of my favorite ramen shops (Santouka) as well as a few other food shops including a bakery and soon to open Royce confections shop (yay!) This store also has more sale items and items on special. I've noticed a lot of special sales every time I've come in. Parking is sometimes difficult during busy hours as they do share a parking lot with a huge 24 hour fitness.

Nice new Mitsuwa marketplace where you can eat prepared food from the food court, buy packaged prepared food (bentos and sushi), or do grocery shopping for Japanese products. I had a sushi assortment and some lotus root appetizer and my nephew had the pork katsu bento. Both were very good and of course less pricey than a sit down restaurant. I've found it to be a good alternative to fast food when you're just in the mood for something familiar for a reasonable price. After 6pm or so, prepared items (in the grocery section, not the made to order food court) gets discounted by about 50% - good if you're wanting something like the expensive tuna belly nigiri.

Mitsuwa Marketplace officially opened in Cypress in early November 2025. I usually visit the one in Costa Mesa, but this location also offers a variety of interesting and unique foods and merchandise, along with a nice food court that serves reasonably priced sushi. The food court and dining area are immediately on the right. The most popular spot is Santouka Ramen, while on the left you'll find gift shops like Royce, Hattendo, and Yamari Matcha. The market itself is quite small. When I visited on a weekday evening, the shelves were already half empty with no restocking. Most meat packs are small, prices are average, and some items are expensive. Parking can be very difficult.

Finally made a visit to Mitsuwa Market! I waited for the hype to die down. Parking. I visited on a weekday around 10am. Parking was scarce in the front lot but plenty on the side. I noticed several that did find spots in the front walk over to 24 hr fitness instead. On the side of 24 hr fitness, there is plenty of parking. I can't imagine trying Tomlinson a spot during lunch or dinner hours (which seems to be what this place is marketed towards, prepared food). They really need to work with the landlord to restrict parking for for the market. There are a few 20 minute only spots, but if you have to wait for your Food Court order, that may not be enough time. This is a very scaled down Mitsuwa, if you are familiar with their ither stores. Food Court has only three vendors with a fourth coming soon. At 10am only two of the three were open. Katsu/Curry vendor, Rice Ball vendor, and a Ramen vendor. The Ramen vendor hadn't opened yet. Reviewing the Katsu/Curry vendor (not good!) on their Yelp Business. Food Court has lots of tables but this was not the lunch rush, not sure how packed it may get. The market is very small (reminds me of an upscale 7-11). Some fresh produce, some snacks but mostly prepared food. Lots of hot and ready to eat Bento Boxes and Rice Balls. Good selection of Sashimi and Sushi. I picked up.some Ahi Sashimi, very fresh and excellent quality! They also.had some Mochi in their deli Case along with a confectionery vendor just outside the market area. I picked up from both and the Mochi was very good! The vendor has a very nice selection of flavors! Definitely plan to return. I plan to piick up Bento Boxes from the market side (the Torrance store has great ones) to try on my next visit.

Came for ramen... somehow ordered a whole feast!…read more Gomen Ramen has been serving Stanton since 2002, with roots tracing back to Ide Shoten in Wakayama, Japan. There's plenty to enjoy beyond ramen, too! We tried the black garlic ramen, katsu curry rice, gyoza, calamari, and croquettes. The black garlic ramen combines pork-bone soy broth with black garlic oil, chashu, and egg--a great choice for garlic lovers. The katsu curry comes with a breaded pork cutlet, Japanese curry, and rice. Such a comforting combo! We also enjoyed gyoza with a savory filling, lightly crispy calamari, and golden croquettes with a soft, creamy center. So many good bites to share! The service was friendly, and the dining area was clean and comfortable. There's also a shared parking lot outside.

Came here with our toddler for lunch special…read more Service: seated right away, not crowded. 3 groups came after us, server took everybody else's orders before getting to us. I had to try to get his attention otherwise probably would've had to wait even longer. Food came out shortly after ordering so that was good. Server came over with our check while we were eating, dropped off our check without saying anything, while telling those at the table next to us (who came 2 groups after us but got their food before us), "no rush, take your time". Shortly, he came back while my husband was feeding my toddler (literally chopsticks in mouth), that they need to close the check out as register is closing, are we ready to pay? My husband had to tell him to wait a minute... Server didn't say anything to the table next to us until a little before we left (they left after us). I totally get that they need to take lunch break but why the difference in treatment? In addition, I had to ask for things such as utensils/bowl and high chair for my toddler instead of being offered in the first place. Food: ramen was mid, but for the price was great to try. Karaage flavorful, gyoza pan fried oily but not overly fried. Food came out fast. I wouldn't come back because of their service. I want to give them benefit of the doubt, but it honestly left a pretty bad impression. What a bummer...

This review is based off a to-go order on a weekend!…read more The place was sadly empty except for me and a couple that was dining in. I was greeted promptly and the server was kind enough to give me a glass of water while I was waiting as it was b*tt f*ck hot outside. I ordered: - Crispy chicken sandwich: served w/ house sauce, coleslaw, and pickles - KoKo curry katsu: served w/ salad, rice, miso soup, and Japanese curry - Tonkatsu ramen: creamy pork broth with sliced pork, soft-boiled egg, nori, and green onions - Super Philadelphia roll - Super Yellowtail roll - Rainbow roll - Baked scallops roll - Panda roll ...now that I think about it, I think I ordered more, but I can't remember. Though the rice in the sushi wasn't very well-seasoned, the cuts of fish were generously thick and relatively fresh. They have a large menu, so actually want to return and try other items. If you're seeking to support a small local business but not sure what you want, this place has it all from curry and sandwiches to noodles (udon, ramen, yaki soba) and sushi.

Wish I could give them ten stars. Been here many times, food is always great. Freshly made to…read moreorder. Family run and they care about their business. Dined in many times, the place is always clean, pleasant and the staff is very attentive. Also their takeout food is awesome, same good quality and care, made fresh to order. The general location is a little challenging. Beyond the control of the owner but perhaps the area will improve with years to come. I wish these hard working folks nothing but success, and from freshly made sushi, to and absolute awesome chicken sandwich that needs to be experienced. I would have posted a picture of the food, but it was so good, I forgot to take a picture to share.
