Among the restaurants in the food court, YT is the place I always end up going to. I guess it's a combination of their great food choices (that I like) and the location of their restaurant (yes, they are the first restaurant you'll pass by going to the food court).Getting food is pretty standard, you fall in line and wait for your turn until the employee asks what you want. The service was really fast. They have different Japanese BBQ options and also have some rice toppings meal. So there were 4 of us eating, and then I got a few different kinds of BBQ, takoyaki, and the Spicy Karaage rice toppings. The area feels like you're in a Japanese food court, the ambiance is very appealing to me. The meal is prepared on the spot while the BBQs and takoyaki's are all pre-made and can be seen on a see-through shelf up front. They'll put the BBQs in a styrofoam case and the Takoyaki as well. You then pay and tip and then wait for the meal, since like I said those are made as you order.The food I got was so delicious. I also got miso soup that went with the meal. We shared the BBQs and Takoyaki, the freshly picked up BBQs are so delicious. I have a thing with Japanese sauce, they are sweet and tangy, exactly what I wanted. The meal is a lot, the chicken on top almost covered the entire bowl of rice. The flavor of the chicken drips into the rice so you get flavor on the white steamed rice below. I will always order at YT whenever we are eating here.

Walked around the food court and decided to try a few places. Yakitori sounded good and they had a bunch of choices so decided to give some of these a try. Plus, its the first restaurant that you pass so kind of caught my attention.Ordered the chicken thigh, beef, chicken meatloaf and karaage. One bite of the beef and I knew this was going to not work in my favor. It was dry, and cold. Actually all the skewers were cold. the chicken wasn't as dry as the beef but still not very flavorful and not hot. The chicken meatloaf was the most flavorful of all the items. if it was warmer, that would have been the standout.Even though the price was reasonable, the quality and flavor of the food didn't live up. Looking at other reviews, I wonder if we just happened to come at the wrong day or time but I still expected better.

Absolutely loved everything we tried here, Chicken skin, chicken thigh, beef, takoyaki, and more!Staff was quick and friendly, and the overall appearance of the place made it feel very authentic.

They had yakitori, which I tried. I ordered the chicken thigh, pork belly, and sausage. Everything is cooked to perfection and smells good from the charcoal fire. The pork belly is my favorite because of the fat, the meat was crispy and tender. I ordered the karaage don (mayo & poached egg) as my main course. I believe the teriyaki sauce was overdone. As a result, the chicken lost its crunch.

We tried a couple of their options, the yakitori with scallions with and without tare, and some of the karage chicken. Overall, it was _fine_. The one with tare is definitely the one to get, as it has the most flavor and seasoning. Unfortunately, the other 2 were a bit lacking....Really, there are a couple of areas that need some attention, 1. while they attempt to keep them warm...not sure they succeed. 2. They need a lot more seasoning. I would try some of their other stuff, and i do hope they improve some of these things, because I think they can be REALLY good.

I always get the takoyaki to share with a friend as a side to our meals! Super soft on the inside maybe a bit too much as when you pick it up with chopsticks, it slowly wants to fall off and break. Always good sauce and toppings to go with it while the octopus is tender.Tried their skewers which were a basic kind of good.The chicken karaage was super flavorful and saucy which I think goes best with rice and it is a bit salty on its own so be sure to get it as a rice bowl instead next time rather than a snack!

I have been here many times. My favorite dish is the Karaage Don with mayo and egg. Reliably good even in to go form. I have nothing bad to say any this place, but also don't have much to say since I stick to my favorite dish from here.

Absolutely gross. It's a shame with so many other good choices at Mitsuwa that this one would be so bad. They didn't have a ton of choices when we were there (around lunch time) and the fact they weren't busy should have been a warning to us. They were all pretty much bland and COLD. How the heck are they cold? So dry, bland, salt, and cold. We ended up throwing them in the trash. My husband in particular was so disappointed. Go get ramen instead; you'll thank me later.

I came at an off time on a Tuesday so many skewers were unavailable, but I really loved the chicken thigh with scallion and karaage. The beef and sausage were also good. Huge portion of perfectly sticky rice rounded out the meal. They also had a few servings of their signature takoyaki out and they looked amazing.

I always love coming to this market, but their food court is the best. They have a variety of delicious foods. We decided to try this vendor because they had the shortest line. When we got to the front, they were out of a few plate options. I got the don bowl. It was delicious. It came with sushi rice, an egg, and miso soup on the side. It was rich and creamy. They give you a lot of food and I wasn't able to finish it all. Be prepared to wait a LONG time for your food. We had to wait around 30 minutes and there was no one in front of us. It was good, but if you are super hungry you might want to just get the takoyaki which can be ordered right away. I'm not sure if this is the best option at the food court, but it was definitely good.
