This place is my go-to for those days when you just want comfort food; after seeing patients for the first half of the day and morning. So good!

It’s a famous Japanese udon shop chain located inside the Mitsuwa Marketplace. They sell udon soup dishes and various rice dishes. You can add various tempura toppings for your dishes at about $2 each. It’s quite authentic Japanese udon and rice dish shop with fast service. They also allow you to add mini rice dishes at lower price as a combo item. One negative about this food court is that they don’t offer free water so you will have to order a drink or grab something at the supermarket. There is a fountain near the bathroom though. Outside seating is available right next to the shop.

Great pick your own tempura and udon. Pretty self-explanatory. They do lunch specials too. It’s inside the Mitsuwa Grocery Shopping Food Court so it’s a pretty busy place, but plenty of inside and outside seating. Can be quite loud and not private at all, but if you come on not meal-rush hours, I’ve found it to be reasonably quiet. Great if you have a budget because you get to pick your own items and each tempura item is under ~$4. Very fresh, flavorful and lots of options. It has more options than I’ve seen at other Japanese tempura places. I especially like the quail eggs (nice and salty). Shrimp Tempura is my standard go to though. I’ve been many many times and will definitely be back.

Udon was done very nicely and the noodles’ texture was spot on. The broth was also very flavorful and on par with what we get back home. The tempura items that you can pick out yourself are still warm and crispy so that a huge plus too. Food court gets crowded but never full to the point where you can’t get a seat. Well worth a visit if you’re at the mall.

Our server was super nice. As always, the curry beef udon was delish! My son and I love to come here because he likes to get the kids udon combo.

The udon is amazing here. Some of the best I’ve ever had. It makes me feel like I’m in Japan all over again!

Very good udon noodle soup. We like the soup, great amount of dashi (i think). The tempura stuffs were a bit pricey for me compared to the noodle soup itself.

Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - Kitsune udon with sweet potato. Udon was cooked well and still had some great chewiness. The soup was great and I was able to finish the whole thing! The tempura crumbs can make the soup a bit oily so will ask for it on the side the next time. The sweet potato tempura was amazing with crunchy exterior and soft interior Ambience: N/A - location was in the Mitsuwa food court Service: 5/5 - quick and friendly. The window to get the udon was efficient and they ask if you want green onion or fried tempura crumbs. Then you can select other sides to the right of the window Value for price: 5/5 - meal under $8 that is delicious and filling!

First impressions: Loved it! My favorite Udon spot is at the mitsuwa in Costa Mesa so having this spot so close to home is great! Not as good as my favorite spot but still very good in its own way. Looking forward to next time!

Great udon and donburi place in Mitsuwa at Del Amo. Good variety of options and toppings, fast friendly service, and reasonable prices.

I love the availability of grilled meats and even chicken skin. I also got the udon and it's simple yet good. Affordable prices too

Best tempura ever!!! Love being able to serve myself and grab as much as i want. If you go to the del amo mall, this is a must go to place

This place forever diminished my satisfaction of eating out anywhere else; you cannot beat the value, flavor, and portions here. You really dont see fares this light for food this good nowadays. On cold lonely hungry nights i hallucinate a #24 bowl floating around my room calling to me in fluent japanese Dare i say top 2 quick-eats restaurant in a 5 billion mile radius and its not #2

New menu items are great and it's so nice that they are offered as "mini add-on" so that you can try and make sure you like them before ordering as an entire meal

Great restaurant for a quick meal. The food taste fresh and I love their tempura bar. I personally like their tonkatsu udon! Good umami flavor in the broth.

It’s our “go to” spot at the Torrance Mitsuwa. Consistently delicious udon, tempura, and yakitori. There is enough variety to keep us coming back every time. Highly recommended!

This place is the first time I actually got udon from a restaurant instead of instant udon from a package. I get the spicy udon along with some yakitori to make my meal feel complete. The udon's broth can be a hit or miss as it sometimes is served lukewarm. But when it is served hot, the meal is enjoyable. The udon itself is thick and chewy and provides a nice taste. The broth is spicy and has a slight umami taste, but to be honest, I think the spice is what gives it any flavor. The yakitori can either be hot or cold depending on the time you eat, but regardless it is decent and a refreshing appetizer. The place is in Mitsuwa which is shared with many other different choices of food so sometimes it can be hard to find a table if it is during lunch rush.

This restaurant is located in the food court.

We ordered Gyoza and they don’t have anything ready. They asked if we still want it but it will take 10 minutes. I said yes. I came back to ask the cashier after 15 minutes about the Gyoza but there was nothing started. They forgot! They told me to give them another 10 minutes. Seriously?

Noodles were undercooked, broth did not have tonkotsu flavor at all. Needs alot more dashi. Not impressed at all. Go to sawtell instead.

Fly in side my soup witch was nasty. When eating into my udon soup, I noticed what appeared to look like a sesame sead, but when I looked closer, it was a fly. I informed the gentalm in the registered, and he said no, this is not a fly, so I took out and placed it on a napping, and then he said ooooh! Yeah, that's a fly. So, long story short, the gentalmen said it must have flown in my plate? And refused to offer me a solution. I'm never coming back here, and food was good it was the attitude he had and the actions he did not take. He didn't even say a single sorry. I honestly didn't even ask for a refund. I just wanted a new soup as I felt discussed. Never again.
