This Mitsuwa Marketplace opened this past November. I wished this market was here when I used to live in Cypress many years ago. I know that many other fellow Yelp members complain that this location is rather small but honestly, if they want to see a small Mitsuwa Market, they should visit the one in San Gabriel. That one is very small and has no food court. Anyways, my husband and I decided to visit this Mitsuwa Marketplace two Saturdays ago since we were out in Orange County. We wanted to pick up some groceries before heading back home to the San Gabriel Valley since this was kind of on the way home. In general, Mitsuwa typically seems to be more expensive than Tokyo Central (the Japanese market I frequent most often back home), often times $1-4 more for items. But that doesn't really bother me, as Mitsuwa sometimes will have different or more selection than Tokyo Central for certain items as well. I like to shop at both markets equally. We ended up purchasing a few items. After we finished paying for those groceries, we walked over to the food court to see what eateries and vendors are available. We ended up getting some onigiri at Omusubi Gonbei and decided to enjoy our rice balls here since there is such a large space of seating. Even though this market is smaller than some of their other locations, I would frequent this location if I still lived out here in Cypress. read more

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. read more

I want to love this place because on first impression it's gorgeous with a great selection. I jumped at the mille crepe cake and rice balls, and sushi to go. I would say it's all ok. There's better places to get these things, but if you're here, it's ok. Then I started trying the hot food, and started wasting money. The cutlet and eel bowls were totally inedible and smelled off. So far this review is for the prepared food, and the grocery is smallish and doesn't compare to the size and variety of another local chain. If I go back I would be excited to try one of the three restaurants in the food court. Or the gorgeous display of giftable sweets in the entry. I think there's even a little cafe counter with matcha. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Mitsuwa Marketplace - Seating area by the front doorway - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cypress, California

The store is nice but the options are limited when it comes to groceries. The food court is almost the same size as the grocery store. There's plenty of seating and different spots to hang out, which makes it a great place to relax and enjoy a matcha or a meal. I do agree with a lot of other reviews, I wish the store was bigger with more variety. I picked up a few grocery items and wanted something quick to eat so I picked up a couple onigiri from the store. I also checked out the omusubi shop inside the food court but their onigiri looked a bit rice heavy for my preference. Price wise, they're pretty similar about $2.50 in store vs. $2.70 at the shop. I'd probably come back for mochi or matcha but for grocery shopping I still prefer places like H Mart or Mitsuwa Marketplace in Irvine. read more

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. read more

I am generally a huge fan of Mitsuwa locations, and I was really looking forward to visiting this new location in Cypress. Mitsuwa is a really great store to find Japanese food and ingredients. A hidden gem is their food court and, in this location, they have Santouka Ramen, rice/curry bowls, and musubi stores. Compared to other Mitsuwa locations (eg: Torrance, Costa Mesa), this is one of the smaller locations that you will find. I came here to get simple ingredients to cook hot pot at home. I was able to find some limited, expensive wagyu selections, some tofu, and some vegan broths; however, their selection of meat broths, vegetables, and meats were very lacking. I couldn't get mushrooms, meat broths, greens. Sauce/meat options were limited. I only was able to find a quarter of what I needed for dinner, and I had to go to H-Mart to get the rest. I feel that the store was clean; however, the stock is very limited and, for me to return regularly, I need to know that I can rely on them to have what I need for basic Japanese foods. read more

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. read more

Mitsuwa Marketplace is truly a hidden gem and an absolute must-visit for anyone who loves authentic, flavorful cuisine. The highlight of my visit was definitely the curry. It was incredibly rich, perfectly seasoned, and packed with bold flavors that immediately made an impression. Each bite was better than the last, and it is easily one of the best curry dishes I have ever had. I cannot wait to return and try more of their menu because the quality and care they put into each dish is undeniable. Although the marketplace is a little tucked away and might be easy to miss if you are not looking closely, it is absolutely worth the effort to find. Once inside, the environment is welcoming and comfortable. The staff goes above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable. Our servers were exceptionally friendly, patient, and helpful, answering all of our questions with a smile and making us feel right at home. You can tell that they genuinely enjoy their work and take pride in helping customers have a great experience. The place itself is clean, well organized, and thoughtfully laid out. It has a cozy atmosphere that encourages you to take your time, enjoy your meal, and explore the other offerings the marketplace has. From the moment you walk in, you get the sense that this is a place that cares about both the food and the customer experience. Overall, Mitsuwa Marketplace delivers an outstanding dining experience that combines incredible food, excellent service, and a welcoming environment. If you are in the area, do not miss it. This is the kind of place you return to not just for the food, but for the entire experience. I am already planning my next visit and highly recommend it to anyone looking for top quality curry and exceptional service. read more

Mitsuwa Marketplace - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cypress, California

I always enjoy shopping at Mitsuwa and was a little disappointed that this location was so small, actual market and the food court. Like all other stores, it is very clean and staff is pretty helpful. The selections at this location was pretty minimal but you can find your most popular items/brands in stock. There is not a huge inventory but enough to get by. The food court is also pretty small but has all the favorite eateries as other stores. You can get ramen, sushi, katsu, musubi, and pastries. I want to try the matcha place that is close to the entrance, so i may be back. read more

I drove half an hour to this fairly new store and to my disappointment it was absolutely tiny. I guess I'm used to huge Mitsuwa supermarkets. Hence the reason why I was a little sad that it was so small. The staff are very helpful and the selection was really nice for how small the store is. read more

How do you properly rate a grocery store. You can't really base on service since most of the things you do or need are self serve. I guess what I like about this Mitsua Marketplace in Cypress is that it's much closer to my house than going to Torrance or Costa Mesa. I do like that they offer a lot of cooked or prepared foods. There's a lot of prepaid sushi options, but there's also a very good selection of raw fish ready to be sliced for sashimi. The value of these items are great. i.e. a decent size salmon filet for sashimi around 7.00 which is how much you'd pay at a restaurant and get only two pieces. Ootoro for $30.00 that can yield several slices as opposed to maybe two slices at a Japanese sushi restaurant. Overall, the grocery store of this Mitsua Marketplace will be a regular stop when I'm feeling lazy to prepare dinner. The marketplace also has a food court with right now, three food vendors, Omusubi Gonbei, Tokyo Shokudo and Hokkaido Ramen Santouka. They also have specialty items like Royce Chocolates, coffee, sweet Buns and they also sell Baked cheesecake tart ice cream. read more

I was so glad to see a recently opened Mitsuwa in the same parking lot when charging our car last Sunday. We came in to grab some quick dinner and bought some snacks. They have a pretty good-sized and clean dining area with a microwave. So convenient! While we're deciding whether to order from one of the 3 restaurants in the food court or buyready to eat items from the supermarket, we saw one of the staff marking down sushi items. There're still a lot of options available. Two of us ended up getting 3 items from Mitsuwa to share, and the other person ordered from one of the restaurants. The discounted otoro sushi and hot eel bowl were definitely a great deal! The taste was not bad, just as you'd expect from a Japanese grocery store. Would come back again around 6pm to charge our car and get the marked down sushi/hot food while we're in the area next time. read more

There is a bit of everything here. I consider it a mini speciality shop. They have hard to find spices, noodles, curries, rice, teas, snacks, etc. Lots of grab and go selections including katsu, curry, sushi, chicken, sandwiches. If your taking stuff to pack and go grab some ice. Service was friendly. read more

I heard from friend who resides in Cypress that this market had its grand opening and includes a Japanese food court. I arrived on a Sunday for lunch and the parking lot was at capacity. Currently there's three options to dine at with an additional space open for a Tennant. There's also several open market shops that offer hot and cold beverages, pastries, gifts and mochi. The market is on the smaller side compared to sister markets but this location is closer to home which is convenient. The market offers ready to eat foods like nigiri, sashimi, karrage, sake, and your other Japanese deli items. Many items were sold out due to the heavy volume of customers. I'm happy Mitsuwa opened this location and I'll be visiting this store in the future. read more

Super excited when I heard Mitsuwa was opening up nearby my area! I purposely avoided the first month since they opened because the hype was crazy! Although the size is considered small comparing to other Mitsuwa places, they have small food court too aaaannnnddd Santouka is here! All the staff are nice and friendly, parking is easy too because I mainly go at night time The food court is clean and aesthetic , hopefully they'll add more restaurants soon! read more

Mitsuwa Marketplace - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cypress, California

Definitely one of the smaller Mitsuwa stores that I've been to. There is a small food court with seating - currently only saw Santouka Ramen, Omusubi Gonbei, and a matcha spot. There's a Japanese confectionary store in front which sells Royce, Press Butter Sand, and more - great for gifts or personal snacks. There's a good variety of produce, prepared foods, frozen, sauces, and drinks inside the store but definitely more of a boutique supermarket feel. A nice addition to the area since the closest Japanese supermarket from here is in either Costa Mesa or Torrance. Located in the same plaza as 24 hour fitness! Parking has been ok the past few times I've gone but I can see it getting busy. read more

Mitsuwa Marketplace - Store front - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cypress, California

Exactly what the other Yelpers said. Too small, half mpty shelves, compact food court. I do love the vibe here, it's not empty. We come here once in awhile to eat but don't come on Sundays. Loads of selection of drinks here including sake but definitely not enough produce nor frozen and grocery products. I mean, the snack section here doesn't really exist. I also don't really love that getting a Togo container at the noodle shop costs 0.75 invokes a vibe. No water for free unlike other mitsuwa So yes we will pop in once in awhile to get yamari because their green tea is awesome. Otherwise, I wouldn't step foot here as much. read more

I was so excited when this place was opening up. For some reason, I imagined it to be much larger maybe because Costa Mesa has spoiled my idea of what it should look like. They're hot foods at lunchtime is probably the best thing about this place. Everything else they selection is tiny. Prices are much more reasonable than the actual food court. The place is clean considering it's super small and I'm not sure that I would come back for anything else. Their seafood selection for sushi is huge. read more

The neighborhood watch (and I) have been on pins and needles waiting for Mitsuwa to open. If I was in the area, I would go to the one by South Coast in Costa Mesa. I went on Friday at 5:30pm. The parking lot was manageable and we quickly found spot. So excited!! Bummed: - The cold case items were very sparse and picked clean. There was a few dozen of the chicken cutlets and pricey baked sweet potatoes. - Tofu and veggies were much higher than Hmart or 99 Ranch; even comparing the House Foods brand 1 for 1 - Half a aisle for condiments - End cap of makeup - Half a aisle for bagged snacks Yeah! - The store opening specials were on ramen bowls and snacks; average 50% off. - Basic baby carrots were $1.49 which is cheaper than Vons - Insane amount of ramen bowls, udon bowls, etc - Robust import Japanese beer selection! - Fascinated with the expensive baked yams which were cold. $10 for 2 is wild. Are they good? Do you eat it cold? Drop in my DMs! All in all a bit bummed on size and selection. Would live to come back and try the food court options but will pass on the supermarket fare. The Japanese assortment at HMart and 99 still is better than Mitsuwa & at a lower cost. I did self-check out and had no employee interaction. There were a few restocking the specials but I had no questions or request for product. read more

Surprised by the 3 star average review here. Granted, I came here only one time, and it was on a weekday around noon. I love the fresh sushi section of Mitsuwa, this is the best deal on fresh good quality sushi you will get, and it certainly didn't dissapoint. They were having a special when I went, because they were still in their grand opening phase I believe. I had a platter full of delicious nigiri and california roll. The food court is always a hit as well, with the amazing Santouka Ramen, a tempura/curry joint, and J-sweets for delectable Mochi. You can get all kinds of good Japanese stuff in the market as well. Parking lot is decent sized, no complaints here. I am glad that they are expanding and very glad that they expanded to this location, as my parents live less than a mile away! Definitely a fan of Mitsuwa and this one continues the great reputation that Mitsuwa has. read more

Mitsuwa Marketplace - Look at that delicious nigiri - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cypress, California

I was wondering why the rating was so low for this place; but when I sat down in the dining area- there were a lot of flies just lingering around all the tables closest to the kitchen. Ah- the reviews are true... I ordered curry from the restaurant there. It was okay, but definitely on the lower end in terms of quality and taste. Adding spice is an additional dollar, which I unfortunately found out was just additional spicy chili flakes in top (not anything mixed into the curry itself) - which was one dimensional, a tad too sweet, and the beef was too salty. The portions were really good though. I tried the chicken katsu as well- which ended up being better than the sautéed beef. Service was prompt and friendly. The grocery store was okay, but small selection and the prices were slightly more expensive than some other Japanese grocery stores. The sweets selection wasn't as extensive, but I was impressed with the selection of hair care and makeup. They do have more mayonnaise options than your average Asian grocery store. The sake selection was great too. Frozen section was not that huge. Overall, good to visit and check out. I think a lot of people were hyping this up - hence the bad reviews. read more

Ugh where do I start with this Mitsuwa review? I am very disappointed by the lack of cleanliness in and around the store. I parked and stepped outside of my car door right into what appeared as a pile of vomit. As if that's not disgusting enough, there was debris and trash strewn about everywhere in the car park in general. Upon approaching the front entrance, I encountered two overflowing trash cans which I assume as one of the culprits. The cafeteria area was full of garbage flies. I couldn't fathom eating in such an environment. Constantly having to flap my hands around to keep them out of my food. They are highly unsanitary to have landing in any surfaces but especially on food items. It transmits all sorts of communicable diseases. You just never know where they landed before your food and drinks. Rotting dumpster trash, dog and bird droppings , just to give you an idea. I was also grossed out by the indication that the building has ongoing rodent control issues. There are rodent control boxes containing rodenticides placed outside of the building entrances. Although I'm glad to know that the building management and Mitsuwa store are aware of it and dealing with it. However it gives me very little peace of mind about the quality control issues pertaining to food safety. The store itself is a very small scale version of Mitsuwa we are all accustomed to in Costa Mesa or Torrance. It's incomparable. They should bill themselves as Mitsuwa Express or something. Almost like a convenience store or bodega type thing due to the limited offerings. They do have good amount of grab and go meal options but nothing to write home about. Drink selection was limited and disappointing. No milk tea like Kocha Kaden or Mitsuya Ciders. Just very basic green tea or canned milk teas for example. The sliced meat prices were pretty decent. And I liked that they have Yamari green tea shop. Would I return again? Probably not as the selections of just about everything was very limited and the cleanliness/ infestation of rats and insects really bothered me. read more

Excited to try this location but it was just ok. Maybe it will be better later. The market is smaller than the food court and most food were sold out. The food court was not bad but there were A LOT of flies, maybe 5-10 flies at each table. They have J Sweets and Yamari when you first walk in, then look to the right you have Santouka, Tokyo Shokudo, and Omusubi Gonbei. I had combo A at Santouka. It was delicious! I bought a variety of musubi from Omusubi Gonbei to take home. They were really good price for the size but mostly rice. The flavors were all good though. My favorite was takana (pickled mustard greens). I also tried the matcha latte at Yamari. It was really good matcha but the cup was so tiny. Overall, I hope they improve on the flies situation. I would come back for the food court. The market was kind of sad but that can be improved too. read more

I, like everyone else have been waiting several months for this store to open and it finally did. Now, it seems there are some growing pains with empty shelves and all but I am thankful there's a Japanese market closer to me now. The store is very small compared to others. There's a small food court with 3 food options and 1 that sells sweets. Santouka Ramen is here. There's Tokyo Shokudo which is a tonkatsu curry place and Gonbei Onigiri which is an riceball place. I think those were the names of the places. The parking here fills up as it is right next door to 24hr Fitness which is always crowded. All the workers seem friendly and helpful. I will go back to try the other food places next time. read more

Mitsuwa Marketplace officially opened in Cypress in early November 2025, finally a Japanese supermarket close to me! I used to drive all the way to Costa Mesa or Torrance, so having a new one nearby was too tempting not to check out. This location is definitely in a retail war zone, right next to Trader Joe's, with Costco just a few steps away. Compared to those giants, this Mitsuwa is definitely a mini version. It's also right beside 24 Hour Fitness, and the parking lot in front is shared with the gym. Parking experience wasn't great because I only got a spot by luck when I turned in from the Tesla chargers on the side. Once we walked in, the food court and dining area are immediately on the right. Of course, the most popular spot is Santouka Ramen, and on the left you'll find gift shops like ROYCE, Hattendo, and Yamari Matcha. Since I've already tried Santouka before, I went for Tokyo Shokudo, the tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet) place next door this time. The only complaint was the food samples on display look way bigger than what we actually got but at least it was tasty enough to forgive that. One thing everyone mentioned online regarding the flies in the food court -- unfortunately it was true. They were buzzing around the tables and it got pretty annoying. As for the market itself, it's tiny and the shelves were already half empty with no restock in sight around 2pm during a middle of the weekday. Meat packs are mostly small and the price range is average. Overall, the variety and "fun to browse" factor are nowhere near H Mart or Costco in my opinion but definitely good enough for a quick grocery shopping. Would I come back? Probably yes mainly to grab ROYCE chocolates as gifts but for real grocery shopping, I'll still stick to H Mart, Costco, Shun Fat and T&K Supermarket in Westminster especially for Asian stuff.

Finally today is the grand opening at 10!! Yay!!! I was waiting for a while since they announced Mitsuwa is coming this Summer. Delayed a lot longer. I got there at 10, guess what? I see tons of people about 400 people in a line before 10. But I decided to wait for the Japanese cutlet and udon at the food court. My hubby and I waited for over 2 hours, finally got in. Free giveaway bag was already ended a while ago. I didn't expect giveaway free items. Too many people at the food court, ordering, waiting, eating... What a crazy mess!!! I feel terrible to stay at the food court waiting waiting for our foods over 30 mins, so many flies are everywhere. Nothing much I could buy from grocery at the moment. The precooked bento type foods, promo rice, I can't see what items are really good prices. Looked almost basic items, instant ramens, rice balls, bento, sushi, and oden. The concept of food court are not bad. Ice-cream Macha store, mochi, Japanese cookies and rice cakes, Ramen specialty restaurant, and Tokyo Shokudo cutlet udon restaurant. Not many choices compared to Costa Mesa, Torrance. I got frastrated almost 3 hours to wait, wait, and eat our foods w lots of flies. I couldn't digest and relax. Ruined my golden morning. I expected too much for the Mitsuwa. I am not sure I can go back for the grocery items. To be honest, Korean market has everything w great prices. You can relax and enjoy shopping. So tired, so frastrated to eat Tokyo Shokudo Udon and curry, and cutlet.... Cutlet portion was so tiny. Unbelievable!! I wanted to leave as soon as I saw too many flies everywhere, when we got the foods, OMG!!! The Cypress location is not big enough for the grocery and foodcourt. I'd used to go to Torrance and Costa Mesa in the past. Cypress is way too small. Not many restaurants, no fresh bakery. Especially not organized today for the grand opening. Why did we wait for over 2 hours to get in the market???? Opening time is 10. I got in there after 12. Waiting for the foods a lot longer. So many flies bothered people at the entrance, foodcourt, even in the kitchen areas. How can the chefs cook in this environment?? Sanitary issue.... Insane!!! The opening event was only drum performance and live music. Not much.... read more

Japanese goods and food court. Lots of baked pastries, cakes and breads all imported from Japan. Available ready to go food bowls or bento boxes. Some other home goods . Think of it as a short excursion to Japan. Took home some natto, a small bag of Koshikari rice (I'd heard about this rice being delicious!) Fun little carts just the right height for our toddler and she loved pushing it around. Friendly checking out with cashier or self checkout- remember your reusable bags! Lots of parking but is shared with a gym so it can be quite busy. read more

Judging from the amount of customers at all times, Mitsuwa needs no introduction. If you're coming here, you know what to expect. This location is grocery and food court, replacing the old office supplies store. Yes, this location is smaller than Costa Mesa but it has the essential items that most people need. Think of Walmart Neighborhood Market vs Walmart. For those living close by, it'll be a much closer drive for quality meat, Japanese drinks, snacks, sushi, Santouka ramen, and ready made to-go items. We came during grand opening weekend and it was absolutely overrun; many people want to come here. A month later, the crowd has subsided and the flies appear to be gone from the food court. It has gotten into a solid groove and is so convinient for the Cypress neighborhood, it is an upgrade over Officemax in every way. read more

Super excited that Mitsuwa opened so close to home! The excitement is absolutely insane during grand opening week -- parking lot is always full and food court is hella crowded. I waited 50 minutes for food yesterday but still grateful that there's a Japanese grocery store closeby. Prices are also $1-2 dollars more than Tokyo central I feel like. But for the convenience, it's . Also love that they have Japanese staff at the restaurants and stores -- really makes it authentic! read more

My first impression is that the place is considerably smaller than the other Mitsuwa locations (Costa Mesa and Torrance) I have been. The place is clean but felt cramped maybe because it's the first weekend of their grand opening. I came in around 4 PM and the bento shelf was empty! There is a limited number of grocery aisles. There is also fewer food court vendors. There are the usual mochi counters, one Shiseido, and one bookstore/novelty shop in the premises. If one would like more variety of things to eat/shop/see, the other locations would offer more. But if you are near the Cypress locale, it might be worth visiting. read more

I expected Mitsuwa to open in the Summer but delayed a lot. Today is the grand opening day on Nov 1st. We got there at 10. My wife and I'd used to shop from Costa Mesa location after we shopped at South coast plaza in the past. We were in a long long line over 2 hours. My wife said we can try next time but I wanted to check the food court. We barely got inside after 12. Packed everywhere at the food court and market. OMG! Insane!! We were so hungry waiting for hours at the parking....decided to order the foods first. My wife picked Tokyo Shokudo curry, cutlet chain restaurant. Overall, the space is way tiny compared to Costa Mesa and Torrance. Not many restaurants, no fresh bakery, just cookie, mochi ice cream stores, only 3 restaurants including Ramen, rice roll restaurants. Disappointed!! But we tried to eat and shop something like marinated eels and cookies, oden later. Guess what??? Tons of flies are everywhere to bother us eating. My wife got so upset. She almost screamed. I can't eat and I can't relax here. Overall, today is the 1st opening day. However, they should have prepared more efficient system. I understand many people can come to find out this market. But something is wrong. Why do we need to wait over 2 hours to get in???? What about the crazy flies??? The space is not big enough for the maximum capacity? All messy inside w many flies.... I don't know what to buy after we barely finished eating, we wanted to leave right away, not many interesting items from the market. Precooked bento, sushi, rice rolls, and rice cakes, rice on promo, ramen...not much we liked to buy. Great to have one more Asian market next to 24 fitness, Trader Joe's, and Costco but not really interesting compared to 2 other locations because of limited space. We don't want to go back. We can enjoy shopping. read more

See all

I went here for its Grand Opening in November 2025, and hopefully it has improved by then, at the time of this writing. But during the weekend of its opening, there wasn't anything left to buy as most of the shelves were empty. The food court was overflowing with customers and once we got to order the food, it took about 30 minutes to receive it. The food quality is way less than the one in Costa Mesa. We ordered Katsu Curry and it tasted like it had just thawed out of the freezer. The meat was very rubbery and didn't taste fresh at all. Most of the staff looked pretty young, maybe high school or college students, so I can understand that they have little experience, especially since the store just opened. The main disturbing issue was the amount of flies buzzing around. Even though there wasn't any food laying around and all trash looked to be thrown away, there was still an infestation of flies. They were everywhere all over the food court and on nearly every table. I'm hoping that within a couple of months, it will be just as good quality as the one in Costa Mesa but for now, I would still recommend Costa Mesa. read more

The food court has most of the food that the Costa Mesa location has which I love. It is a bit smaller but the quality is still as good. This location may have a little bit more options on the menu but pricing is also the same and affordable as usual. Food doesn't take as long to come out and it's not that far from my house which I love if I'm in the mood for some curry. read more
