One of my favorite places to eat in Bergen County! I always get the Hot Beef Udon. Perfect portion size, always fresh and delicious. I've tried two or three other types of udon and they're just as good - but I prefer the regular beef version. I've also gotten some of the fried dishes, and they're never greasy and perfectly crispy. The pasta salad they serve with fried dishes is also very good if you're a pasta salad fan like me! The food comes out quickly (most of the time) and is always fresh because they're so busy. In my opinion it's the best stall in Mitsuwa! read more

Tons of great options with affordable prices! I got the fried chicken (katsu) curry with a sliced up boiled egg. The curry was delicious paired with the rice and the chicken was very crispy on the outside and pretty tender on the inside. The rice was just warm so it got cold pretty quick which was disappointing since the curry also wasn't hot and solidified quickly as well. However, the dish itself was flavorful despite these issues. read more

I was visiting Mitsuwa market. Thought of trying katsu. I went with the fried chicken with curry option. Chicken was very crispy and tender. Curry had good amount of spices. Overall it was an enjoyable lunch. read more

Wateishoku Kaneda - Fried chicken cutlet (katsu) curry - Japanese Near Me - Edgewater, New Jersey

Not the greatest tonkatsu I've had. The pork wasn't as tender and the sauces were a bit off. But for a fast food joint with quick service and a cost of $9.95, it's worth a try if you're sick of eating ramen. Meal comes with miso soup, rice, pork cutlet, lettuce and two sides of seaweed and some kind of tomato thing. The meal was as good as this review, which doesn't say much on all fronts. read more

Reality rating 3.5 stars rounded to 4 for yelp's sake. I've always been ordering from here whenever I go to Mitsuwa. In all honesty it initially used to be better. There are subtle downgrades such as the free lemon water and green tea changed to plain water. My friends reported that there were other downgrades in terms of menu selection/food, but the usual choices I opt for aren't affected. Wait time varies depending on the day, but my usual go to is the udon noodles. Either beef or curry beef, both use a dashi based soup base~ the price is overall okay. Curry beef udon is what I go for if I want something a pinch more hardier than the regular bed udon, it's also not spicy. I've also tried the gyudon (beef over rice) which is also another safe choice. The time it takes to make these dishes are relatively fast. Service has been good every time I went. Either they give you the vibrating buzzer or they call your order number when your food is ready. Overall solid establishment in my book. read more

Located in Mitsuwa by the water, it's one of the many different food options here. My sister and I decided to come here after a year hiatus (and out of sheer boredom). After looking through the various different eating options, we decided to get something simple: 2 Chicken Cutlets. The food isn't anything special, crispy chicken pieces with an abundance of sides like rice, Miso soup, a few pieces of pasta salad, and what appears to be shredded lettuce. Though it was definitely filling, with each cutlet coming out to about $10, and everything tasted pretty good, I'm removing a star simply because there was much too shredded cabbage. It would have been better if they had included maybe one more strip of chicken, but maybe that's asking for too much. Either way, not bad for the price, and may try some other dishes next time. read more

If this restaurant were located in NY (or even NJ, for that matter) and it wasn't as inexpensive as it is, I would say it's a strong 3-star contender. However, given that it only cost $5.98 for a bowl of udon noodles and $8.98 for a pork cutlet bowl, 4 stars it is. Seriously, it's a very straightforward meal but the food is pretty good and you get what you pay for (i.e., I ONLY got noodles with the udon, which is fine with me because I was craving noodles, but others may expect more out of a meal. If that's the case, it'll be more $$.) The noodles were cooked well (not noticeably over) and the broth was delicious, but I reaaaaally wish I hadn't gotten the bowl with an over abundance of what looked and tasted like tempura flakes. It was like a sea of them, and all I really wanted was noodle and broth. Aside from that nitpick, the entree was great. The pork katsu bowl was also pretty good, and it didn't differ from the bowls I've had in NY. I don't think I'll see a cheaper katsu bowl than I had here. Service was fine, but what really sells the place is the low pricing! read more

Great place to get a quick bite in Mitsuwa Marketplace. I recommend getting the pork curry Katsu with rice and eggs. Personally, it was the best dish I had there. Good spot out of all the others. read more

We came to try their udon noodles and got the curry udon and the nikutametan udon and it was delicious!! The curry wasn't too strong and heavy but light and way better than the packaged curry that they sell in the supermarket. The nikutametan tasted like beefy miso soup with a hint of sweetness. Both were very goood. Unfortunately, we came a little late for the tempura and curry tonkatsu. I was a little disappointed with the service. They were in a hurry and seemed annoyed by the amount of orders coming in. But I wouldn't blame them since all the other shops were getting ready to close while they had to continue to serve until closing. The parking is very convenient given that they have a large parking area and there is a large seating area for you and friends/family. I would def come back to try the other foods like the ice cream cones, tempura, ramen, etc. read more

A colleague recommended the pork cutlet on rice bowl and I was glad to have followed his rec! It felt like such comfort food - warm and tasty with an egg baked on top. I expected white rice but it was actually full of flavor, soaked in some kind of teriyaki sauce. Wish i lived closer so I could eat this more often! At under $8 it was all I wanted. My only wish would have been for the katsu to be crispier - there wasnt much crunch to it. We got our food in a reasonable time and there was plenty of seating in the food court. Would definitely come back! read more

Located inside Mitsuwa Marketplace. I had the Katsudon rice bowl.... very flavorful, tender rice, delicious fried pork, veggies and a fried egg on top. The pork had a crispy exterior, was well seasoned and juicy, but cooked all the way through (not too fatty). I was worried about the egg. I was concerned that if the yolk was too runny, the flavor would be overpowering. The egg was cooked well and had a very mild flavor that enhanced the dish. It was delicious. The last time I ate here, I had the chicken bowl. It was a bit too oily/fatty on the inside. Not sure the cut if chicken used, however I wasn't a fan. I'm glad I gave them another chance. read more

For 10 bucks (including tax), you get (for the salmon meal): Two good-sized pieces of fried salmon, 3 dipping sauces, a bowl of miso soup, a bowl of steamed rice, 3 little containers of takuan (radish pickle), edamame, and an orange slice; and a dish of macaroni salad. All well prepared and delicious. Quite a bargain - even cheaper than the ramen noodle shop next door! Unfortunately, this time they didn't have my wife's favorite grilled mackeral meal, but she was quite happy with this combo all the same! read more

I arrived at around 8:10 and they told us that they could only serve us udon which was a disappointment. The people right in front of us got donkatsu and curry :(. However, the udon was very tasty so I can't really complain much. I got the beef udon and my friend got the curry udon. I preferred the beef over the curry but it's slightly sweet. If you want to eat here come by 7:30 at least!! All the other stores were closing by the time we arrived and, we didn't have enough time to look around. read more

Loved the karaage curry! It was everything I was craving in karaage that day - fried, hearty, hot, comforting, and scrumptious. The dish came with rice, a sliced hard boiled egg, coleslaw, and curry sauce. It was a good portion size and made fresh to order. read more

Wateishoku Kaneda - Karaage Curry - Japanese Near Me - Edgewater, New Jersey

Went on two occasions. Ordered a grilled salmon and beef udon to go. Both for kids with allergies to dairy, egg, tree nuts and peanuts. A server was well aware of ingredients. No reactions, so surprised to find one of the few Asian places felt safe enough for them to eat! Beef udon was good but the beef was a bit chewy and some bigger pieces of fat, but otherwise good. The salmon seemed deep fried rather than grilled so it was actually much tastier than expected. Was well seasoned, and fresh, but not just a filet so be careful of bones. Comes with a side that looks like mayo in some pasta, so can request to have it left out. read more

The plant based bao are amazing! They have a buy 2 get 1 free deal so it's effectively $10 for 3 bao. The vegetable curry came with egg even though it isn't listed in the description and there's no photo available. The curry itself was great, but the veggies were clearly microwaved, including crinkle-cut carrots and broccoli stems (no crowns!). The cauliflower was not heated enough and was served cold. The curry itself was tasty - tons of flavor and the right amount of heat. read more

The food quality of this place got worst over the years. This place is constant long lines and extremely slow service wait min of 30 minutes or more when ordering to receiving your food. I order a pork cutlet curry. The pork used to be juicy and tasty. Now it is thinly cut piece of dried pork. The quality had gone down drastically. Will find another pork cutlet location near by. read more

I'm not sure what kind of chicken karaage is but it was just okay. Was interesting to try something different but I likely won't be back. The meal came with rice, a sliced pickle, lychee, two sauces, cold fried dumpling, and I'm not sure if it was shredded cabbage or other vegetable. The view is great though. read more

I came with my wife and enjoyed a meal of Pork Katsu, which essentially is a breaded, fried pork cutlet. The meal came with rice, pickled green vegetables (that looked like something growing in a forest), miso soup, cabbage to make a sesame slaw, and pasta salad. I enjoyed my meal, though some of the items I just tried a little of. I really appreciated how they had large displays showing exactly what you would get, as I don't always understand how ordering works. read more

This is one of the food choices in the Mitsuwa food court. We used to live in the area and enjoy this place very much. Came back to visit after a few years and sadly,the quality has declined significantly. The cooks are not even Asian. The line was long so we thought the food would be really good but that was deceiving. There was a 40 minute wait to order and then another 20 minutes to pick up the food. We ordered the Katsudon and the chicken-katsu. Both were very very fatty. The chicken-katsu was deep fried with globs of chicken fat inside, kind of like the mushy globs you find on raw chicken thighs. The katsudon was fatty too and was also hard, very difficult to chew. The food court area itself was dirty and crowded. read more

After being disappointed by the beef bowl, I came here again and ordered their chicken katsu curry, and it is fantastic. They're not stingy with the amount of rice or size of chicken katsu either. The curry has a little heat to it but it's a pleasant kind of heat. Maybe the beef bowl has just become a one-off mediocre item on this menu, so just hold off on that. I definitely recommend their curry though. read more

Got terrible food poisoning!!! Had fried pork cutlet with rice, with some raw iceberg lettuce and pickled ginger on it, and special fried chicken on Friday night. Started feeling upset stomach on Saturday morning and can't eat anything the rest of the day. Just had half of a bread from the bakery in mitsuwa marketplace in the morning. Then in the afternoon till night started chills and body pain and diarrhea and fever. Then on Sunday morning had diarrhea and this terrible pain on my stomach for over 10 hrs and had to go to ER to find out it is gas problem that might be a bypassing symptom of food poisoning or bacteria infection. Then on Monday I could only eat some apple sauce and drank some electrolytes water - but in evening, which is my Valentine's Day night!! I started the worst diarrhea ever and had to leave my Valentine's Day dinner half way, in the dinner I basically just drank some hot water, I gave all my food to my boyfriend. And the whole night I went to bathroom for more than 10 times and had 103.7F fever, diarrhea still didn't stop until now ( Tuesday morning already!! Have to take my day off!!!) , probably going to Urgent Care soon. read more

That's a pretty good place if you are looking for a quick meal around the area. When I goto Mitsuwa, I always go to this restaurant because this restaurant accepts credit card payment. On weekends, people pack this place and so you might need to grab a table first before ordering read more

I'm really sad that this place replaced Kayaba. That was my go-to place to get Unagi-don. Wish this new place would put it back on the menu. The lines were considerably shorter here than the other places. To replace my Unagi Don, I ordered the Sukiyaki Curry instead, which I actually enjoyed quite a bit. The beef was a little dry, but it was very palatable soaked in the Japanese curry, which comes in a sizeable tureen. I think the sides kind of detract from the box, especially the spaghetti. It has to be one of the worst spaghetti I've tasted. Cold and sour for some reason. The portions were perfect for the price though. After finishing everything (except for the spaghetti), I was full and satisfied, but still able to eat a taiyaki from Oishinbo. Even though they are not as good as the previous store and no longer have Unagi-don, I would still come here to eat. In my opinion, nothing in Mitsuwa could be considered bad. read more

Food is tasty, authentic Japanese style, and most plates are under $10. Despite other items in the market being a bit marked up, this is one of the few places I can find udon for around $5 so for lunch or dinner this store among the others offers great deals and great taste. My go to dish is the Bbq beef plate has the works for $9.25, and add udon to miso soup for $1.50. Nice. read more

I love going to Mitsuwa. If you have no idea what Mitsuwa is, read my review about it because if you're crazy about Japanese food and goodies, you'll want to drive yourself over to Edgewater and get yourself a good ole bowl of ramen and onigiri. Kaneda is inside the food court area of Mitsuwa. I think Kaneda and Santouka (the ramen joint near it) are probably the two most popular and will probably run you a 15-20 minute wait if you're in Mitsuwa during rush hour (which is usually 6:00PM and beyond on Saturday nights). But totally worth it. They'll call your order on the loudspeaker, but it's a bit muffled for me to hear so I usually just wait by where the food is prepared. I ordered the #6- the chicken cutlet platter. Each platter I believe comes with a miso soup, pickled radish, a little carrot cup, rice, salad, an orange, edemame, and three sauces. The chicken cutlet is fried in yummy panko bread crumbs and the sauces truly compliment the dish. Yum, yum! And all for $9.90 too. Snag yourself a seat in the food court area, but note, if there's no seats, walk towards the cashiers and there's usually seats there. Love this place and would definitely come back. read more

I'm a sucker for a good tonkatsu and this place does not disappoint. For $10, you get six pieces of pork katsu, cabbage salad, 3 dipping sauces, miso soup, a bowl of rice, a dumpling, pickles, pasta salad, and lychee. If this isn't a deal, then I don't know what is. The pork katsu was crispy and crunchy without having the heaviness that fried food usually has. The cabbage salad and tomatoes balanced out the katsu really well, and the dipping sauces really complement the flavor of the pork. The rice is also cooked to perfection in true Japanese style - chewy and slightly sticky. My only complaint is that some parts of the pork were a little too fatty. Other than that, this place is a solid option in the Mitsuwa food court. I'll be back to try the katsudon. read more

This place opened on 4/3/14 and replaced Kayaba. I don't know what I was thinking when I decided to go there on Sunday lunchtime. I should have known how crazy crowded Mitsuwa food court gets on weekends... Anyway, we ordered #3 Buta Kakuni Teishoku ($8.25), #19 Sukiyaki Curry ($7.25) and #34 "Menchi-Katsu" (minced cutlet). The food came out pretty quickly, but we couldn't find any where to sit, and we weren't about to punch someone out for a seat. When we finally sat down after 20 minutes of wondering about the food court, our food was cold.. but of course that's not Kaneda's fault lol.. and food wasn't too bad. I'd have to go back again when they're not as busy. Only problem we had was their menchi-katsu. Took a bite and it was crunchy on the outside and super juicy on the inside, perfect!... almost. Towards the middle, it was still pink. Since menchi-katsu could be a combination of beef & pork, we decided to just cook it thru using the microwave next to Daikichi-sushi. lol $2.50 per piece is pretty up there, but since it was so good, I would order it again. I'd have to make sure to ask them to cook it well. read more

Located in the Edgewater Mitsuwa food court, this is a place to grab your "meat"-over-rice dishes.

Thank goodness this place didn't have a crazy long wait. The ramen stall next door had a 35 minute wait and I was famished so I opted for this. Sadly, the salmon dish I wanted was sold out already. I opted for a steamed like fish with rice. It was really good though not a lot of it. The rice was great. The fish had a lot of bones so be careful. It was super fishy and smelled up the area around me but I didn't care. I didn't care too much for the little cold dishes that came with it. Meh. The miso soup was really good though. They only sold a few drinks and they were out of cups for the free water. So I just used the miso soup as my liquid. The boyfriend got a rice dish with fried pork cutlets that he really liked and said was filling. it's hard to find seating on weekends. I'd definitely prefer to come on a quiet weekday instead. read more

I love coming to the this market because of the variety of Asian affordable food. It's been a while since I've been here for an actual meal and unfortunately I was a little disappointed. I got the curry udon soup. The portions are healthy, the noodles are cooked well, and the curry doesn't overwhelm the broth but rather ads a subtle kick. The disappointing part is that I found a foreign objective in my food. They also don't take cash and don't offer their soups to go :( I will be back to try other restaurants in the market but likely not retuning here. read more

Not quite sure what's all the fuss is about. This place may have undergone few name changes but it's the same good food that I've been enjoying for over 14 (fourteen) years. Practically the same food has been on their display case for just as long. The few changes such as the side dishes that accompany your entree (I don't really care for the crappy anemic spaghetti) & the fact that they no longer serve free hot tea & that they moved the paper cups behind the counter are quite minor. So what's good here? Just take a look at their food display (I uploaded a photo), I've eaten almost every item there, and for cafeteria style food, they're pretty damn good. As added ambiance, there's 3 giant flat screen TVs over their counter that's usually showing virtually naked sumo wrestlers grappling each others buttocks. A perfect pair to your fine Kaneda meal. read more

Chicken katsu was amazing. It came with three different sauces, a few sides, rice and a cabbage salad. Loved all the flavors and for under $11 it was so worth it! I was there when a rude customer was asking to get his order and was complaining about everyone getting their order before his- so stuck up! Just wait like everyone else! Adding one star to that employee that kept his cool and continued to answer his questions in a polite matter. Must've been so awkward having that guy just stand right in front of you as you prepare the food. So much respect for him! Overall had a great experience here and will come again next time I'm in the area! Minus one star because the food models were a bit misleading with the sides I thought I was getting kimchi- and that's kind of why I chose this place in the first place. But all forgiven because as I got closer it said on a sign that sides are going to differ. read more

So good! We got the Pork katsu plate and it came with so much food! 6 strips of pork katsu, a raw cabbage salad, 3 dipping sauces, a bowl of rice, edamame, miso soup, pasta salad, and a slice of orange to be exact. The pork katsu was very crispy but a bit on the greasy side. All 3 sauces were delicious! The bowl of slightly sticky Japanese rice was gooood! Only downside is that they don't give a dressing to put on the cabbage salad so we just ended up throwing out the salad since it was too bland. Miso soup wasn't too salty and I liked all the side dishes as well. ~$10 for a very filling and tasty meal. Thumbs up! read more
