Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures, but the food was beautifully presented, and the inside was casual, clean, and simple. I was going to get traditional ramen, but at the last minute changed my order to the Mazesoba (a brothless ramen) as it was a special, and sounded interesting. I also ordered a spicy tuna onigiri, and my friend ordered the BST ramen and karaage. The onigiri was pretty good and I enjoyed it as an appetizer. The Mazesoba was very interesting since it's a "dry" ramen and then you add vinegar to taste. Once you've eaten your way down to the "good bits" of meat, herbs, and sauce at the bottom of the bowl, they give you a little side of rice that you can then mix into the deliciousness left over and it basically creates a new meal! I found that part super cool, and thoroughly enjoyed this second iteration of the meal as leftovers the next day. I LOVED the broth in the BST ramen (and I'm not a broth person), and it almost made me jealous that I had not gotten it myself. To finish, we split a raspberry and lime tart, which was beautiful and perfectly light. The service here was also prompt and friendly, which I always appreciate. I would definitely come back again -- and next time, I'm getting some of that delicious broth.

It's affordable, good quality, and overall polite service. What I am not a fan of is using AI generated pictures on a menu that previously had real pictures of food on it. There was no reason to do this, but if Mirin Cafe is this unsure about how good their food looks now, I may think twice about picking a Japanese restaurant in Escondido. I would love to regain my faith in this local gem but until these AI pictures go away - I cannot trust that what I see on the menu is what comes out on my plate.

I ate one, and it was very rubbery, and you could tell by how hard it was to separate them- that they were prepared earlier which makes a difference in the quality of these rolls.

The veggies were browning. The wrap was super chewy.
