    Chicken and beef combo plate
    Betty R.

    I used the drive thru because I was told it wouldn't take too long. I guess they were a little short handed because the first window was open but empty so I had to wait until I got to the front window to order. They do take all forms of payment: cards and tap included. The wait was actually pretty reasonable since the cat in front of me had a large order. When I got to the front window, the guy taking orders was a little rude not acknowledging me until he had finished his conversation with the cooking crew. I ordered the number 4, beef and chicken combo plate and a small Jamaica. It was $18 and change. Not the best price, but the portion was pretty big. Food came out quickly after I ordered- piping hot. It was my lunch break so I took it back to work and it was still hot. The egg roll and dumpling was basic ones. The salad had what tasted like a sweet, Mayo based dressing but I liked it. I'm a beef girl but the chicken was so good here! Much better than the beef. The beef is a little like from frame broiler, my least favorite teriyaki spot. But the chicken, yummers! It was perfectly cooked, juicy and soft. Overall, I will definitely come back, but not too often since it is on the pricey side.

    I feel I got disrespected by my own kind tonight. Mind you I'm a big fan of Mos2 I always get the teriyaki chicken and beef combo plate. But today I came 10 minutes before closing time. The time says they close at 9:00pm that means respectfully 9pm. This isn't a dine in restaurant. It is a takeout place. You gotta honor your closing time. And I drove from garden grove to get shut those black bars in my face. That was the cherry on top. No communication just shut those doors in my face around 8:50ish. That is not how you do business.

    I used to come here regularly years ago and recently craved their teriyaki bowls. The restaurant still looks the same and brings nostalgic vibes. The food was always delicious; however, I ordered the beef bowl, and the beef was dry. I'm glad I had extra sauce to help finish the meal. On another visit, I ordered a Teriyaki Beef and Shrimp plate through the drive-thru. When I got home, I saw that it was the Chicken and Shrimp plate. I really craved the beef, but when I checked the receipt, they charged me for the chicken. So, they must not have heard me correctly. The chicken and shrimp were still pretty good; the chicken was tender and had a tasty charbroiled taste, and the shrimp was nice and crunchy. The included egg roll and gyoza were average. The salad was good, with plenty of dressing. Mos 2 has been around for a long time, and my latest visits were subpar. The staff and service are always hardworking and friendly, but I'm unsure if I would return due to inconsistency. I always try to support local; I hope others will have a better experience than I did.

    We love coming here when we're down in OC. Love their teriyaki chicken and beef. The price has gone up and you don't get as much food as we use to but it's the same everywhere you go nowadays. The service here is fast and they have a drive thru too. They have inside and outside seating, but it was closed down at 7:30 pm when we got there, so we had to take our food to go. I hope they stay in business, because every time we've come by here, it's empty.

    Small portion   More lettuce than chicken  No presentation  Very sloppy   I paid $16 for this bs Salad dressing tastes terrible

    Best teriyaki chicken and rice with fried shrimp around. Healthy vibes. They also have Shia frescas there like de horchata , tamarindo & jamaica. Food is done pretty quickly here. This is like the best version of waba grill mark my words.

    They accept other payments now! Use to be cash only!

At the very least, it has been my favorite chain of Japanese markets, but it stinks how they have just one location in the Bay Area! In fact, across my limited number of trips to SoCal, I've already visited more locations down here than back at home and I have to say - this location may be the newest, but it's also my least favorite one I've been to. Like pretty much every other Mitsuwa I've been to, this location has a cute little food court with a half dozen or so eateries offering a variety of food options - from ramen, udon, and curry rice plates to onigiri, matcha, and Japanese sweets. As for the market, it has all of the usual offerings you would expect - a solid selection of fresh produce, meats, seafood, frozen foods, pantry staples, alcohol, snacks, and sections of prepared foods and sushi to choose from. What's more, as a whole, everything here felt so new and clean (which makes sense in hindsight, as it apparently opened only back in November). With all of that having been said, though, it's weird to me how this place still felt a bit...lacking. While you can find a decent mix of things to eat at their food court, it's pretty much limited to three eateries, so don't be surprised to see lines when it's busy. Also, despite how new it is, the market feels smaller than other Mitsuwas I've been to. That's not inherently bad, but pickings felt relatively slim for certain meats and produce we were looking for, as well as their bento boxes and sushi. Granted, it probably didn't help that we were here on a Sunday and the place was packed with customers, but it's not like we stopped in towards the end of the day either. All in all, while I definitely think there are plenty of positives about this location, I'd be lying if I said I was as impressed with this one as I was by their location in Costa Mesa. It's definitely nice how new it is and I would never be opposed to going to any Mitsuwa, but if I lived out this way, it'd be tough not to know whether I'll be able to get everything I need here or if I'll also need to stop off somewhere else. THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded down for now.

After we walked right in front of Omusubi Gonbei, we both decided to get some onigiri. We were greeted by a smiling and friendly employee behind the counter when we approached this little eatery. We ended up purchasing: Spicy Tuna, $2.70 prior to tax- My husband decided to order this and really enjoyed it. I didn't have any because I am not much of a spicy eater. But my husband enjoyed it. Grilled Eel, $3.60 prior to tax- My husband and I split this one. I really liked the eel and also the sauce that was used on top of the eel. My husband also really liked this one. Fried Oyster, $3.60 prior to tax- I decided to order this one but it was topped with a spicy mayonnaise that I thought was a little too spicy for me (again, I am not a spicy eater). But the fried oyster itself was good. ---------------------------------- (Total= $10.67 after tax) Wait time for our items was pretty much non existent, since the girl helping us boxed up our items before I even had the chance to finish paying (I always struggle to pay via tap on the first try... I always seem to have the credit card somewhere else, instead of wherever the sensor is to pay for it...D'oh). This was a great snack for us since we had lunch 3 hours before (I had a light lunch of a tofu salad so the 1.5 onigiri that I had was perfect for me). I like that the onigiri was fresh and the filling. But there is a significant amount of rice and very little of the filling. But I still liked it regardless and would definitely come back to try the other flavors in the future.

    I definitely enjoyed the omusubi I have had from here if I compare it to the refrigerated ones…read moreavailable inside the Mitsuwa itself. But I must agree with other reviewers on certain aspects. The nori is very soft and chewy. It's not separated from the warm gohan itself. So if you're accustomed to onigiri with crisp nori, you will be disappointed. Depending on which kind of omusubi you're getting, I also agree that it may definitely feel like there's a lot more rice than the filling. I usually get the mentaiko, ebiten, and oyster musubis. I feel as though those are actually consistently good. The saltiness of the fillings really offsets the amount of rice included and makes it work. My other favorite flavors are takana and shiso. The two goes perfectly well with the karaage they sell separately. Another thing is that the rice itself is actually seasoned and not plain, which helps. Chashu and other fillings like eel has been a miss at this location. Same with their tuna and salmon offerings. I must admit I'm especially not a huge fan of their tuna offerings. It uses too much katsuobushi flavor in my opinion. I like mine more mayo forward. The service here can be a hit or a miss. It really depends on who is working there and what time/day of the week it is. Same goes with the availability of seatings. Parking is free but can be a hassle to find a close spot because of the proximity to the gym, superchargers, and other businesses.

Under their Light Dinner section, they offer a Zarusoba for $12.00 and a Tempura Udon/Soba with Shrimp Tempura for $13.00. However, if you want Zarusoba with Tempura, they charge an extra dollar. The Zarusoba was good, but it would be nice if they gave a bit more sauce for dipping. I also got a Sashimi Salad, which had a lot of sashimi! It had salmon, tuna, and a white fish. Pretty good, but it could have used a little more dressing as well. The Combination Plate with Salmon and Tempura was enjoyable. It comes with a piece of salmon, a variety of tempura (shrimp, broccoli, sweet potato, onion), side salad, miso soup, rice, tempura sauce, and teriyaki sauce. Salmon was cooked well, and I liked all of the tempura! Their Lunch Specials are originally what caught my eye, but it seems like they don't have anything similar for dinner. Instead, everything is a la carte with the exception of a few combination plates. I wish they would do dinner specials similar to their lunch specials! Parking here is pretty difficult. The lot gets packed with several cars circling around hunting for a spot. They're also going some construction right now which doesn't help. There is a large parking lot where the Home Depot is next door, but they specifically have signs posted to say you can't park there.

    Been coming here since 2014…read more Started as a broke Cypress College student now working in corporate. Authentic Japanese-owned, mostly Japanese staff, with a couple of long-timers who have clearly found their forever workplace - over a decade and counting. New owner took over when the original retired, a few small changes here and there, but the food and service? Barely touched. That is the highest compliment a ownership transition can get. Check IG for their lunch specials from M-F. I am leaving this review purely out of self-interest. This place cannot close.
