Mitsuwa Marketplace

This is a pretty standard Mitsuwa market. I had dinner at an izakaya inside. It was really good. They had all the non-standard meats. I have always been a fan of offal so I am biased here. I had chicken hearts, beef, beef tongue, and chicken liver. Each of the items cost about $4. There's a three item minimum. Yeah putting sheets of paper and pens for you to mark your order. I handed my order to the gentleman at the register. The order was up in about 10 minutes. You can see your order cooking from the side. They serve alcohol here. I got a drink from the market. My order was spiced and cooked perfect. Really good stuff. They included spicy mustard that was really spicy and radish I think. Presentation was great. There is a seating area right there that was constantly bussed. The area was clean and brightly lit. It made for a pleasant dinner.

Excellent place. You have a variety of foods, mini food court, etc. Wagyu alert for those who love the premium beef! They even have stationary and pens!!

Small gem in Mitsuwa Market in the International Marketplace called Kanazawa Curry. Ordered the combo curry plate with Tonkatsu and shrimp tempura. Tonkatsu and shrimp tempura was crispy and well seasoned. It was sitting on a bed of rice. The curry had a nice flavor with a slight spice kick. It was a perfect combo with the crunchy texture of the Tonkatsu and shrimp tempura. $25 purchase will get you 1 hour of free parking in Waikiki. Stop by and try a taste of Kanazawa.

I always live visiting Mitsuwa in Los Angeles. It's a reliable place to get decent Japanese food. This was no different. The ramen was spicy, the noodles were tasty. The karaage was crunchy and crispy- piping hot too because they made it fresh for me. They have lots of gashapon machines with various anime figures. They do but take cash, only tokens. The tokens are 10 for $20, and most machines take 3-5 tokens.

Make sure not to waste your money on the $58 Wagyu bento. It's pale, flavorless, and disgusting. We couldn't believe how such an expensive meat could end up this way.

Great selection of rice plate hot or cold. Ready to go simple sushi and drinks if you want a little snack.

We had the wagyu bento for $40.31not including Tip, what we got you can see in the picture. The bento was as small as my hand and half of the wagyu was fat, no marbling. Overpriced low quality meat. I will never come back.

I was hoping they would have more Asian style things, but not as much selection as I was hoping for. It was fairly busy when we visited so maybe it is more popular than what our initial impression was. It is a little smaller than I thought it would be. We didn't end up getting anything here and purchased supplies from another supermarket.

Saw this in the international marketplace mall on the way to an ice cream shop. Its a decently sized Japanese market. There is a nice variety of grab and go foods you can pick up. Theres hot meals and cold meals. Things like onigiri, misubi, fried fish, sushi, poke bowls, and more. Theres also a small food court of like 3 little shops like a ramen shop. Theres also spices, treats, and drinks. They have a small beauty section as well. It was really cool in there definitely a good place to go to get your japanese goods.

Ate at the Mitsuwa food court, lots of great options. Comfortable sitting. Went with the Yakitori.
