- Emily WilsonJanuary 17, 2017Stock up on fresh ramen noodles from sun noodles (David Chang's fav producer). Get a few of their soup packets (shoyu, miso, or tonkotsu), too and you can make exceptional homemade ramen in 5 mins.
- The largest Japanese market in the region. This place has it all. Food court, produce, dry goods, & a mall next door with Japanese books & household goods. There's a free bus from the Port Authority.
- JH Madison LeeAugust 13, 2012The Spicy Miso Ramen from Santoka is the best! Place your order as soon as you get there (and do your shopping) if you come on a crowded day - the wait at Santoka is sometimes 30+ minutes.Upvoted Jan 21
- Go for your hard to find Japanese ingredients. They have awesome hamachi on sale if you keep a lookout. Omusubi riceballs is now all year round here too!
- Chris FrancoisMay 23, 2013Spicy ramen in the food court is amazing here. The food court is legit. I personally can't come to mitsuwa without having ramen, but the spicy fried gyoza is awesome and so is the onigiri.
- Wen Seng LieSeptember 2, 2015The food court is awesome. Try them all. The market itself is a nice place tonroam around. The view outside is also another plus. Just don't go there in the weekwnd. Super crowded
- Fawziah QadirJuly 16, 2013Foodcourt heaven!! Make sure you have cash though because they do not accept cards! Walk around first and check out the options. So good!!
- Maia WailanaSeptember 1, 2014it's a quick ferry ride and a nice bike ride to work up your appetite for a hearty nabeyaki craving and a fantastic view of the city skyline across the water!
- Great Japanese market with grocery, food court, and events throughout the year. Delicious ramen and yummy Taiyaki. Check out the Mochi pounding festival in January and the Summer festival in August.
- Cash only food court but there is a chase atm inside. The free water tastes funny. Soft serve ice cream is delicious! My usuals are soba, ramen, or chirashi!
- AngelaApril 17, 2011Oh, and you cannot leave without trying their green tea soft ice cream from Tea's Tea stand. It is simply amazing. The black sesame soft ice cream is also very good. Must have!!
- Make sure you don't wait until the last minute to buy your meal/ice cream/cake! The restaurants and other stores in Mitsuwa close earlier.
- Rachel KimAugust 17, 2013An almost always busy marketplace with a variety of food vendors (sushi, udon, matcha, crepes). You'll most likely have to stand in line for a bit, but it's worth the wait!
- Joe BlossomMarch 24, 2015Seriously amazing. The ramen is great along with many of the other dishes in the cafeteria. The grocery portion has boatloads of tasty Japanese candy, too.

- LindaJanuary 24, 2014You won't find black sesame soft serve like it anywhere else. The vanilla is good too!

- Pahoua MisztaApril 8, 2012It's like Jusco in Japan. If you ever wanted to go to Japan go to Mitsuwa and see the difference, very friendly, nice people, food delicious
- I wish I could live here. Fantastic dailies for the pantry and no visit us complete without kitchoan and hamadaya. But slim pickings for vegetarian dinners.
- Go to Santoka Ramen and order the special melty pork. Top it off with a green tea/sesame soft serve ice cream from the tea stall.
- Amazing Japanese market. Worth a trip from Connecticut (with a cooler in the car)
- Great for hard to find Japanese imports. Their ramen and curry selections alone are great.
