    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.

    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

    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).

    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 :(

    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.

    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.

    tempura bowl
    Huevi L.

    Located inside Mitsuwa Marketplace in the foodcourt. I love how the Mitsuwa marketplace has so many different small restaurants/shops to offer a wide variety of Japanese foods and desserts. - chicken katsu curry w/ salad ($11) : 7.5/10. Your typical Japanese curry katsu. The chicken katsu was crispy and delicious. I love the sweet, pickled radish on the side. The salad is very refreshing and light. Can't go wrong with this dish. - tempura bowl ($11) : 5/10. This dish was definitely very underwhelming. The tempura was soggy, not crispy at all, and the batter was very thick. The batter seemed to be different from the typical Japanese tempura batter used which was not very pleasant. There was way too much batter to shrimp/veggie ratio.

    Saba, rice, miso soup, Japanese potato salad, cabbage slaw

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.

I always tend to gravitate more towards their seafood offerings and this time is no different as I enjoyed the fried squid, grilled mackerel, tuna cheek and shrimp musubi but what I love about this place is its constant new offerings and this time, they were offering fried chicken skin, so of course, had to give that a go as well and it was DAMN delicious with its savory bursts of flavor that was seasoned well. This place is small and cozy with a great artist, almost punk rock vibe that I've always loved and the staff, especially the owner feels more like relatives serving you food rather than employees so that's what separates a corporation from a local gem, Support your local businesses folks and enjoy this treasure of a restaurant!

We joined the waitlist in person and waited a really long time, like 2 hours on a Friday evening. We tried the stewed pork belly, pork rib udon, tempura fried corn, sukiyaki bowl, and fried squid. Everything was delicious, I think they are a bit heavy handed with the salt and msg. The tempura fried corn was topped with truffle salt. The sukiyaki bowl was basic and served with pickled veggies or kimchi. I was definitely impressed with the cook on the pork belly and rib. They were both extremely tender. The udon had a light and clean broth, the noodles were not your regular wheat noodles. I will probably return with a reservation or with to dine again and try more dishes.

He wanted a little more seasoning in the lamb chops but says they were cooked well. I think Japanese food tends to be conservatively seasoned in general. Other dishes also looked good. I thought everything was good but didn't think anything was amazing. My wife particularly appreciated that just about all of the menu items had pictures! Service was good and friendly even though they all seemed a little harried.
