Tired of Santouka's excellent ramen at Mitsuwa Marketplace? Want to try something else? Recommend Wateishoku Kaneda right next to it. They have excellent meals, particularly grilled fish. Their grilled mackeral lunch combo is so fresh and its natural flavor comes through well — great way to get your omega-3's! Also comes with miso soup, rice, and oshinko, for about 10 bucks. Plenty of food for the price. Their grilled salmon is similarly excellent and a great deal as well.
Average food, for an average price. But the sides were not very good and very salty. Also sometimes there's really slow service, but at least the people are nice.
I love coming to the this market because of the variety of Asian affordable food. It's been a while since I've been here for an actual meal and unfortunately I was a little disappointed.
I got the curry udon soup. The portions are healthy, the noodles are cooked well, and the curry doesn't overwhelm the broth but rather ads a subtle kick.
The disappointing part is that I found a foreign objective in my food. They also don't take cash and don't offer their soups to go 🙁
I will be back to try other restaurants in the market but likely not retuning here.
it's sad that fellow yelpers did not enjoy food from this place. So far we have tried the Chicken Karage platter and really liked it.
Good: The Chicken Karage Platter: The platter comes with rice, really crispy seasoned chicken, miso soup, edamame, pickled radish, two dipping sauces and slice of orange. The chicken and rice and is definitely much better than a similar dish at Tokyo Hanten (fried chicken with Rice and omelette).
Bad: sometimes the wait is unusually long, even when there are no crowds.
Ugly: nothing so far
I love going to Mitsuwa. If you have no idea what Mitsuwa is, read my review about it because if you're crazy about Japanese food and goodies, you'll want to drive yourself over to Edgewater and get yourself a good ole bowl of ramen and onigiri.
Kaneda is inside the food court area of Mitsuwa. I think Kaneda and Santouka (the ramen joint near it) are probably the two most popular and will probably run you a 15-20 minute wait if you're in Mitsuwa during rush hour (which is usually 6:00PM and beyond on Saturday nights). But totally worth it. They'll call your order on the loudspeaker, but it's a bit muffled for me to hear so I usually just wait by where the food is prepared.
I ordered the #6- the chicken cutlet platter. Each platter I believe comes with a miso soup, pickled radish, a little carrot cup, rice, salad, an orange, edemame, and three sauces. The chicken cutlet is fried in yummy panko bread crumbs and the sauces truly compliment the dish. Yum, yum! And all for $9.90 too.
Snag yourself a seat in the food court area, but note, if there's no seats, walk towards the cashiers and there's usually seats there. Love this place and would definitely come back.
I had the fried oyster curry. It came with three oyster pieces on a plate of white rice, with a gravy boat holding the curry on the side. Three small sides (burdock, edamame, and orange), were provided. The entree itself was smaller than I was expecting, but the taste was pretty good. The curry was smooth and rich, though for the oyster I thought the flavor was a bit covered up by the fried batter.
Majority of their mains were fried. I had the fried seafood mix; fried shrimp, salmon, and two fried oysters for only $12, tax included. The sides were different, in a not-good way,, from the window sample. Potato salad was switched to marinated tomato with Gari (sushi ginger), really bad. Oshinko (pickled fresh vegetables) became from the store bought.
Greasy fries were fine, especially oysters, but the oil in the crust made too heavy and not enjoyable.
Whole market needs facelift; at least make it clean. The toilet was less than the ones in high ways.
I promised myself that I was going to steer away from Santouka Ramen this time around at Mitsuwa, and I'm so glad I stuck to my guns. I was lazy and didn't want to go too far from my friend who was in line at Santouka, so I decided to try out Wateishoku Kaneda right next to them. So glad that I did, and so glad that the yelp reviews did not deter me from ordering.
Pork Katsu was ohmygod, so good. The pork was incredibly tasty and juicy and was fried to perfection with very little oil residue. Loved the Katsu sauce and mayo on the side as well. I also ordered the Simmered Fatty Beef & Tofu and although looks were disappointing, flavor made up for everything. The order also had spinach and yam noodles inside a delicious dashi broth. Both our orders came with a side of roasted edamame and seaweed, pickled veggies, and miso soup each.
Yummm!
