Good. I ordered the Eel Bae Chorashi. In the picture on their order board it looked like the Eel was on top of more veggies and pieces of mango. But when I got it I realized that they were egg pieces. It was still tasty. I ate everything in my dish. I didn't like the wasabi though.. it didn't really taste like it belonged there. If you like Dragon rolls, this is pretty much like a deconstructed one, minus the avocado. They should probably add avocado to the dish on the side instead of wasabi. I would order it again.
YAY $15.95 for uni, ikura, tamago, salmon, tuna, roe all in a seasoned rice bowl. I added $1 to change the miso soup to udon, and the udon was worth it. I almost couldn't finish.
This stall took the place of the old udon stall and I'm happy that they're here! This place specializes in Edomae chirashi sushi (I don't know exactly what that is but it tastes great). The menu is fairly focused with about 6 variations of the signature dish, chirashi.
Chirashi here is served as different types of fish, either sliced or chopped over a bed of seasoned sushi rice. It's always made to order fresh (so expect about a 10 minute wait for your food) and pretty reasonable. Prices range from 8 bucks to 18 for their high end version. This food court has always lacked a good sushi option and now its finally here.
Inexpensive and decent chirashizushi located inside Mitsuwa food court. I usually go for $9.95 jewelry box standard to get my quick sushi fix. For the price, the quality is totally acceptable. Some Yelpers are giving unfair negative reviews but they are in the wrong place if they are expecting super high quality gourmet sushi for mere $10-$15. For those with unrealistically high expectations, go to Yamagata in Fort Lee or Tomoe Sushi in NYC for a top notch authentic sushi….you won't be disappointed but you'll be paying at least more than double the price.
It was fine. The fish was ok, not great. It wasn't the freshest stuff in the world. Basically the cost isn't worth it, because you can get better quality for the same price elsewhere.
If you want chirashizushi in Mitsuwa, this is the vendor you go to. They have six types for you to choose from: Three "Jewelry Boxes" (regular, premium, and platinum), and three types of bara chirashi (salmon/salmon and ikura, scallops, and unagi). I went with the salmon and ikura.
Salmon and Ikura Bara Chirashi ($13.50): The box has salmon, salmon roe, and negitoro ("fatty tuna") over plenty of white rice and topped with diced cucumber and egg. I was surprised by the quality and freshness. There was no fishy-smell at all, and the salmon I received had a great color to it; it tasted "clean," as well. Portions are on point and the price was definitely reasonable.
I'll be back to try the platinum "jewelry box" the next time I'm at Mitsuwa. If the chirashizushi is not enough for you, you could also add a side of misoshiru, extra rice, or additional toppings (uni, scallops, shrimp, ikura, etc.) and sides (extra wasabi, shiso peppers, nori, etc.).
Pretty decent. The fish was surprisingly fresh and the bed of rice it sat on was well seasoned. I had the $18.50 chirashi bowl, and paid $1 extra to change my miso soup for udon. SO had the bara chirashi and that was equally fresh and tasty. Mitsuwa's food court didn't have a real sushi option before- they were add in rice bowls to ramen sets or you had to buy the packaged sushi packs in the actual market. I probably would chose to eat something else at this food court most of the time since I like to dine in for sushi but this is an awesome option if I need a quick soosh fix. The food takes a while to be swerved, which is fine – around 10-15 mins. Not sure if they still sell rolls but those were awful- so much darn rice! What is this, a buffet? And if I remember correctly, this corner, like most, if not all, other corners at the food court takes cash only.

A bowl of my favorite fishes over rice for $18? I'm in! Add a side of udon for $1!
They're not skimpy with the amount of fish they give you and they give the good stuff too! Uni, scallop, ikura, salmon, tuna, etc.
