    The small chicken/beef bowl
    Jerry A.

    The food for my first time being here is amazing! I got the chicken and beef bowl small! You can choose the spice level. For being a small it is a damn good size! The prices on drinks are not bad either. 2.99 for a large is great when everywhere cost more! I will definitely be back to have the rest of the menu! The service was fast and reliable! Ambiance is nice and the classical music they play sets it!

    Deluxe Spicy Beef bowl with Chinese chicken salad

    As someone who has gone to Flame Broiler and Waba Grill for years I will say I'd pick Mr. Teriyaki over both. You can get the same things and more from Mr. Teriyaki at a fraction of the price. They also play music and have all the doors open so you get a nice breeze when it's hot. I have driven past this place for years and never stopped in until today. The prices are great and the flavor is as well. Will be coming back.

    Menu Board & Beverages. Place is nice & clean. Friendly greeting too.

    Tried Mr Teriyaki after driving by for years. We chose the Deluxe Size Teriyaki Chicken & Beef & an order of Crunch Rolls. Both were good overall. The Deluxe comes with a lot of rice under the meat so the protein to carb ratio is a tad out of balance. The beef is cut into thin ribbons & there were small to medium pieces of chicken that I liked more than the beef. Chinese Chicken Salad comes with it. I wish I saw more chicken in the salad though. My BF enjoyed the creamy 1000 Island style dressing while I prefer the oil-based, somewhat sweet salad dressing that several other places use. Would have loved to see some shredded chicken as opposed to a few bits of it as I mentioned but liked the crunchy topping. If they included a scoop of macaroni salad it would have made the Deluxe...well, more deluxe. We also got the Crunch Roll. It's less expensive than most places & it was a good choice. There's more to the menu that we'll try next time. While we weren't overwhelmed with the portions we didn't feel gouged with super crazy prices either. These days we're all paying more for food so we appreciate their efforts to offer decent meals & beverages for a decent price, hence the 4 stars. The man who helped us was nice & seemed to take pride in his business. It's located in a small strip mall with a smallish parking lot. There are several booths for eating in & it looks like they do a brisk Take-Out business as well.

    Mr Teriyaki was noticed on our way to Western High School for a wrestling tournament. we came in, nice and clean and our order was taken quickly. we had a 1. teriyaki bowl 2. mongolian noodle and shrimp plate 3. egg rolls 4. california roll 5. beef and chicken plate my 10 year old, as picky as he is, cleared his bowl in minutes. loved it. wife and i shared items 2-5 to no exception, everything was terrific. although the taste of the noodles was not agreeing to my palate, it was good nonetheless. but the teriyaki, fugeddaboudit... california roll... fresh. when we roll by again, we will stop n to say hi. thank you Your new Friends from Thousand Oaks.

    I decided to try several different teriyaki places in LA and Orange county area for the 2018 &2019 @EatCheapwithPete Teriyaki Challenge. Mr. Teriyaki did not make the top three. I got the deluxe chicken and beef combo for $9.99. It comes with Chinese chicken salad and it had a creamy dressing and a crunchy topping. The plate at first looked like a nice size portion however I discovered a lot of rice when I started to dig into my Styrofoam container. For the cost, I was expecting more protein and less rice. I enjoyed the chicken more than the beef. The chicken had a nice char and good teriyaki flavor. The staff is super friendly. The restaurant is part of a shopping center and there is plenty of parking.

    I loved this place! It was very apparent that the food was of amazing quality. The food is made on the spot. Unlike many other Chinese food places with food that's been out all day under heat lamps Highly recommend this place!

    Doesn't look like much when you pass by, but let me tell you!! THE FOOD IS AMAZING! The owner I think it was took our order, we sat down and when it was ready, he showed up each plate to ensure everything we ordered was correct. NOW I APPRECIATE THAT!!! Anyhow we ordered 2 beef bowls, 1 Mongolian Plate, and 1 half and half. Its made fresh as you can hear the grill in the back cooking up our items. Its very clean on the inside and you get what you pay for. There are lots of tables if you decide to have a big party there. Bathrooms are clean and overall a great place to eat. If your in the area, check it out, you wont be disappointed!!

We started with the shishito peppers and takoyaki, and the takoyaki was easily some of the best we've had. It came out piping hot, perfectly crispy on the outside, and soft and fluffy inside. Since it was such a hot day, we ordered the Hiyashi Chuka (chilled ramen) and the Oroshi Soba Combo with grated radish and tempura. Both were super refreshing and exactly what we were craving. The Hiyashi Chuka had a great balance of flavors with fresh toppings, and the soba was light, chewy, and paired really well with the crispy tempura. The hot tea was a nice touch, and everyone working there was friendly and welcoming. We also loved how extensive the menu is. There are so many Japanese comfort food options that we'll definitely be back to try more. If you're looking for authentic Japanese food in the area, Gomen is absolutely worth a visit.

The $18 regular bowl would definitely be considered large anywhere else, and came with more toppings than I usually see. OROSHI SOBA: 4/5. Been on a soba kick lately because summer in California is gross and relentless. The flavor was 100% there, but the lukewarm temperature was not it. The menu did specify that this dish is COLD, and it was the entire reason I ordered it. TAKOYAKI: 4/5. Batter was on the thick side, but overall flavorful.

Self Serve at the counter and there are two large tablets where you input your orders! NOTE: NO CASH ONLY CARD. We came on a Friday, July 5th around 1pm. It wasn't too busy at the time for me. Good service. Food: BEST onigiri iv had! Iv tried the kbbq, mentaiko, honey walnut, and spicy salmon onigiri. My two favorite were the mentaiko and spicy salmon onigiri. The mentaiko (fish eggs) was delicious, it was salty but like the good saltiness (not overly salty if that makes sense haha) and keep in mind that it is a tad spicy but for me I can handle it because I love anything spicy! Now the spicy salmon onigiri was PERFECT. Not too spicy (perfect for those who likes a mild spice) and creamy. My bf ordered spicy salmon as well and honey walnut shrimp. Both he said were delicious and his favorite was the honey walnut shrimp! For the kbbq, it was delicious too! Reminded me of Kbbq! All onigiris came with seasoned furikake and seaweed (there's an option if u want it on the side or remove it). There is also ahi tube poke and 3 sauces to choose from. I chose 1 spicy mayo on the side and it tasted really good with the onigiri. Each onigiri is labeled on the wrapper so it's easy to know which is which. I personally think think this onigiri store has a good amount of filling which I love! Drinks we ordered strawberry lemonade and regular lemonade. 5/5 great drinks and refreshing on a hot day.

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.

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.

    Not too mad at the food, but the rice balls were nothing too special or superior…read more Service was very fast and friendly. In the grocery store food court, the rice balls make for a quick and easy meal. I got the shrimp tempura and eel. Lots of rice to protein ratio.

    This sushi place seems to just keep getting better…read more Not sure if they had oysters before but I recently saw it on the menu. It is so good we get at least two orders everytime we come I also love all the nigiri they have. We usually pick the ones from Japan and it is delicious. The service is really good. I usually get my food without sesame and I noticed the other day they accidentally out a little sesame on it and instead of just picking it off and giving it to me the remade the whole order. I was very very impressed by it. The ambiance is nice. It can feel casual but the food you taste is very Delicious and feel high end.

    Quick dinner on a Friday after work. The staff is always welcoming and made sure to check in on us…read moreregularly. Our first time here was last. It was happy hour before 5pm. Prices are affordable and sushi was flavorful. Today, we ordered almost the same items but unfortunately there was barely any taste. It did not taste bad more like freshly unfrozen with only some flavor and little sweetness. Spicy edamame - tasted like it was just sate'd in chili oil and salt Yellow tail belly Albacore belly Jumbo Scallop Ankimo Spanish Makeral Red Snapper We really enjoyed this place and wanted to give it another try but if you do try; definitely come before 5pm for their Makeral hour prices. Again, the staff was very nice nice welcoming. It is a place for family and quick get together but the food has been hit n miss.

    I was craving some cold soba and saw that Echizen offered Zaru Soba! We waited about 15 minutes or…read moreso for a table for 2. 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.
