    Tempura Bowl (without Rice) with Braised Pork, Miso Soup, and Salad
    Mike L.

    After discovering how awesome this particular Mitsuwa's food court is, it was just a matter of time before we came back to check out all of the different eateries here. Sadly, our first adventure to Gyutan Tsukasa ended up being a little underwhelming, but no matter - it's not like that one meal was indicative of how the others would go. Plus, just about every place here looked too good to resist! So, next up on the list, based on all of the positive reviews from Yelp friends, as well as the display case full of plastic models of their food - Miyabi-Tei! Compared to some of their neighbors, several of whom are centered around specific offerings (beef tongue, udon/tempura, ramen, etc.), Miyabi-Tei is more like your neighborhood Japanese restaurant that offers a little of everything (save for sushi rolls). Among their menu offerings, you'll find soba noodles, tempura, donburi options, katsu curry rice plates, hamburg steak, a variety of bento box options, and even a slate of rotating daily specials. -- SALT-GRILLED MACKEREL PLATE with Miso Soup, Potato Salad, and Rice Other than how I wish the piece of mackerel had been larger, this was great! The mackerel was moist, super flavorful, and not overly salty. I also thought the potato salad was pretty good while the rice and miso soup were perfectly fine. -- TEMPURA BOWL with Braised Pork, Miso Soup, and Salad Ordered this as a Tempura Bowl, but told them we didn't need the rice. All in all, the tempura was pretty solid - really crispy and it came with a good variety (I liked the fish best). That said, the Braised Pork was the star - super tender and straight up DELICIOUS! -- EEL EGG BOWL (Unadon) Maybe it's because I haven't had this in ages, but I thought this was terrific! The unagi was meaty and flavorful while the egg was still a bit wet (which was great). I also loved how the rice wasn't overcooked and that the cut of unagi was decently sizable. While all three dishes that we ordered were pretty good, I'll admit that they aren't all that unique/special. So, in that regard, nothing that we had at Miyabi-Tei is worth writing home about. However, for what it is and where/what they are (an eatery at a market food court), you really can't go wrong with coming here. With so many different entrees to choose from, there's a good chance you'll find something to satisfy whatever craving you might have and at reasonably budget friendly prices at that! THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded up.

    Landed in SNA and Miyabi-Tei never disappoints as first stop for meal. The food is consistently good, the prices are great, and the portions are generous even with how expensive everything is these days. We usually order the chicken katsu curry with salad, and it's always a hit. The chicken is juicy and tender, and the curry sauce is rich and full of flavor. It's such a comforting and satisfying meal. I also tried the mackerel set, which comes with rice, salad, and miso soup, everything was well-prepared and really enjoyable. There can be a line when ordering, but it moves quickly, and the service is super efficient. We got our food within about 10 minutes, which is impressive. Definitely a go-to spot for a delicious and affordable meal!

    Today's special was amazing! $13 for udon and rice combo? I saved it for two days because I'm a small eater. Worth the pricing! Delicious food for cheap pricing compared to outside. Will definitely come back for this. Service was fast. He took my order quickly and it took less than 10 minutes for him to call my number on the receipt for pickup. Its a food court setting so look and fight for your own seats! I LOVE the egg bowls they have. DELICIOUSSSSSSSS

    Chicken Katsu Curry
    Chrissy L.

    Miyabi-Tei inside Mitsuwa Marketplace is great for a quick Japanese comfort-food meal. The Chicken Katsu Curry is filling, with crispy breaded chicken over rice and Japanese-style curry. It's a casual food-court setting.

    Pork katsu with curry sauce
    Felix Y.

    I had to grab a quick lunch and went inside the mitsuwa food court. This food court will never disappoint you. From bottom to top quality. Cheap meal and pretty quick service. Today I had my pork katsu for $10 you can never go wrong with it! Fresh quick and tasty moist pork katsu and the curry sauce is amazing too this is one of my spot for a break time meals because it's close in south coast plaza malls. Remember this is inside the food court so it can get crowded and noisy but other than that its a delicious meal you can have here.

    Bento box special (miso soup not pictured)
    Anne I.

    I am a HUGE fan of all things bento and have been eating this one for years. The price recently went up to $13.75, but it's still a great deal: salmon on top of cooked bean sprouts, a piece of chicken katsu on a bed of cabbage, rice, tsukemono (Japanese pickles), potato salad with seaweed and miso soup (not pictured). One big plus: they have a loyalty program, after so many meals you get one free. Cashier is always friendly. The only drawback is that the food court (where Miyabi-Tei is located) is extremely busy and sometimes it's hard to find a table, so get there early! There really isn't much of an ambience since it's in a food court (inside Mitsuwa).

    Bento box

    Loving the presentation, but the food was pretty mid. I enjoyed the tempura, miso, and fish, but not anything else. The tuna had a fishy taste and did not taste fresh which was honestly expected. The lotus root/carrot mix in the bottom right tasted fine, but I noticed other reviews had chicken in it. I wonder if mine was mixing anything since I came near closing :(

    9.21.25- tempura zaru soba
    Kim I.

    I love this marketplace so much. I'm slowly trying to make my way around each little spot in the food court and today was Miyabi-Tei's turn. My goodness was service incredibly quick, and food was so good I couldn't even finish everything given how generous their portions really are. It's so refreshing to find a place that actually has affordable prices and you still manage to get full from what you order. It's a perfect spot to take family and try the many things on their menu. For us we had to get the chicken cutlet curry. That sauce was everything! Not too salty whatsoever and the tempura with soba noodles was just the right amount and packed with flavor. Will need to make sure to come try other items as the display window they have just makes everything look mouthwatering.

    Friendly and fast service. Inexpensive but filling food. They have been around since the early 1980s for a reason. I wasn't expecting much when I decided to get some katsu curry from them. I didn't have good experience eating from Mitsuwa food court in the past. One very bad food poisoning several months ago had me feeling squeamish. And the nearby Dondon Tei was underwhelming in the past. Well, I am glad I decided to give Miyabi-Tei a try. The katsu curry came in good portions with nice amount of beni-shoga and crispy tender katsu. The curry itself was mild but delicious. Rice was fresh and not odd or old tasting. It was also less than $12 for a big platter. Definitely can't complain. The establishment doesn't take Amex. I will have to start carrying Visa on me whenever I try to buy things from Mitsuwa.

    Number 41 bento- a good deal but not all items are delicious
    Suzanna L.

    The number 41 bento box is a great deal at $14.50 and has a variety of food, both raw fish and cooked items. However, I didn't love all of the items. My favorites were the tempura, rice, and miso soup. They were all the correct temperature; however, the chicken/shitake/lotus was lukewarm and the chicken was quite dry. I also found the tuna to lack flavor, which is unsurprising given that it may not have been uber fresh (the unnatural bright red color was a giveaway). The grilled mackerel was served hot but I just don't love the naturally strong flavor of that species.

    Paul T.

    Probably the best value food stall in this food court. Nice size portions and quality food.

    Chicken katsu
    Anna C.

    I got the chicken katsu curry. Portion size was great, however katsu itself wasn't very crispy. Really can't complain though for its price of under $10. The pickled radish on the side was also a good addition to balance out the curry. They also give you a lot of rice. The stand is located inside Mitsuwa Market. Orders come out quick and overall it's great value!

    Beef soba
    An C.

    10/10 value! A well-rounded lunch is hard to come by, and a cheap well-rounded lunch is very hard to come by! I love coming here for lunch. The Miyabi Bento is perfect for those who want a little bit of everything and don't want leftovers. The tempura included green beans, eggplant, shrimp, and pumpkin. I need variety when it comes to meals, and this meal has several components for only $15! Soup, rice, grilled, fried, raw, vegetables, and fruit. I adore the simplicity. Food came out in 5 minutes and the food court at Mitsuwa is always a casual lively atmosphere to dine in.

    Stopped by around 7:30 PM on a Sunday and had a great experience. There was no wait to be seated,…read moreand the restaurant has a small parking lot with enough spaces available during our visit. Soft music played in the background, and the traditional Japanese decor gave the restaurant a warm, relaxing feel. Our server was friendly and respectful, and the food came out quickly and hot. We ordered the Pork Loin Katsu Curry and the Cheese Pork Katsu. The pork loin was cooked really well, with a crispy, golden crust and a tender, juicy interior. The curry was flavorful and comforting without being spicy, making it an easy choice if you prefer a milder Japanese curry. The Cheese Pork Katsu was also excellent. The melted cheese added a creamy richness that complemented the crispy pork well. Both meals also came with miso soup, which had a clean flavor, and a side of shredded lettuce with dressing that helped lighten up the richness of the fried dishes. Overall, everything was prepared well, the service was great, and the restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for a reliable spot for Japanese curry and katsu, I'd definitely recommend it and would happily come back again.

    9/27 -- 2:30 Takeout Order…read more I placed a takeout order and specifically requested extra salad dressing on the side, which I was willing to pay extra for. When I picked up my order, I even asked if the dressing was included, and I was told that they had put it in the bag. When I got home, however, there was only one dressing included. I called the restaurant to ask about it, and the employee told me that a regular takeout order does not come with dressing. If that is truly the case, does that mean the restaurant expects takeout customers to eat the cabbage without any dressing, while dine-in customers receive dressing with their meal? More importantly, if dressing is not included with takeout orders, the customer should be notified when placing or picking up the order--especially when the customer specifically asked for extra dressing and even confirmed it at pickup. I should not have to find out after getting home. On top of that, the katsu sauce container was only half-filled, despite being a 2-ounce sauce cup. Seriously? Even worse, I found a hair coming out of the sauce container, which is extremely concerning from a food hygiene standpoint. What made the experience even worse was the way my concern was handled over the phone. If you are working in customer service and someone calls with a legitimate question or complaint, there is no reason to be rude or dismissive. This was by far the worst customer experience I've had at Kagura. There were only two tables occupied when I visited, yet the restaurant couldn't even properly handle a simple takeout order. Very disappointing. The manager or owner should seriously consider providing additional hospitality and customer-service training to the lady staff. Regardless of whether there was a misunderstanding with the order, speaking disrespectfully to a customer is not an appropriate way to handle a complaint.

The yellowtail sashimi was delicious, and I loved that they included yuzu kosho sauce. It's been a favorite of mine since I tried it in Kyoto. The Okinawa margarita was pretty strong, but it was good. We really liked the mountain yam mentai cheese as it was full of flavor. The beef sukiyaki was good, but we wished there was more beef. I think the dish also needed a little more flavor. The drjnks: The Okinawa margarita was pretty strong, but it was good. I really liked the shikwasa juice as it reminded me of calamansi juice, which is one of my favorite drinks! I'd definitely go back to try other items from the menu.
