Just a hair under 4 stars.
The food is pretty average bento/plate/ramen/udon, but it's decently fast and inexpensive. Bentos and combos provided important variety needed to feed my kids. The tempura was actually really nice and well-coated and not soggy at all. -

Been coming here for close to 10 years now. I have always enjoyed it! Quick simple meal and not too expensive. Way better alternative to eating fast food.
My regular go to dish here is the Katsu Curry. Flavor has always been on point. The Pork Katsu is sometimes better than other days. I remember when the price was around $4.75 or $5.25 for this dish. The price has increased over the years. I get it, inflation. Not a big deal. My last visit the price is now $10.25. A little hefty, but still fine by me.
What my pet peeve about any food establishment is, increase price and decrease portions. The Katsu used to be of average size and thickness, good amount of rice, and plenty of curry sauce to finish your plate. Now the rice is about 20% less, barely had enough curry sauce, and check out how thin the Katsu was! They have changed the plates to be smaller, so they can fill the plate with less food.
I want to say they went through an ownership change several years ago. I noticed the staff was different than the old Japanese man that used to be behind the counter taking orders. When he was gone is when I started to see a decline. -

My friend and I were craving Japanese curry so we decided to come to this location. We came here on a weekday during lunch and there was no line so the wait for our food wasn't too long (5-10 minutes).
We got the chicken/pork cutlet curry and thought it was decently priced. I'd recommend trying to eat the dish while it's still fresh before the katsu gets soggy from the curry!
The place is self seating because it is a food court! You can also put away your dishes on the side with at their tub/sign. -

(3.5 stars) located in mitsuwa market food court, there this place. Besides this is ramen and soft serve so not many choices. This place however has plenty of options of food, from bento, curry, bowls, to even soba noodles. I freakin love soba noodles so them having it is already a big win for me. Everything here is relatively cheap, around $10, and it's quick. The ramen shop line is usually long so if you want a quick snack this is the place to go. I ordered a soba and a beef bowl. The soba noodles weren't anything special but it kills my craving for soba every time. Cold buckwheat noodle with a soy dipping sauce you slurp away. The beef bowl however was not that good. The beef was super dry and there wasn't much sauce so it was kinda hard to get down. Either way this will be my go to spot if I'm looking for a quick soba noodle snack.

The food here is good, and decently priced!
I came here with a friend and her family during a little shopping day at Mitsuwa Marketplace. Miyabitei is a casual eatery located inside of Mitsuwa's Food Court. There is open seating, so you may need to wait a bit for other diner's to finish up before you find yourself a seat.
I ordered the Japanese pork cutlet with eggs over rice. It was so delicious! Savory with a hint of subtle sweetness. Lots of egg too, which I like. The sauce got into the rice too which gave the rice itself a richer flavor.
There are various sauces available at the order counter, and a water station as well.
Overall, a great little place for a quick and yummy meal!
