What User doesn't like about Mitama Japanese:
Very poor service. Many people stood at the door and were ignored by the staff who made eye contact then looked away numerous times. Slow service. Inattentive and inefficient. View all feedback. What User likes about Mitama Japanese:
The food is amazing and we had a great time on our first trip! We went on Valentine’s Day and despite the rush, they kept up their service pretty well. A very energetic staff that all worked well together. I’m pretty sure this will become a regular spot for us now. View all feedback.

Mitama offers a diverse menu showcasing fresh Japanese cuisine, with highlights including exquisite salmon sashimi and crispy tempura. Many diners rave about the delicious rolls and attentive service, which enhances the overall dining experience. However, some patrons have expressed disappointment with inconsistent food quality, particularly regarding soft shell crab and sushi wait times, which can detract from the enjoyment. While the ambiance and energetic staff contribute positively, cleanliness and portion sizes have raised concerns. Overall, Mitama presents a blend of delectable dishes and service hiccups, making it a neighborhood gem worth considering.

Absolutely the best Katsu I've had for years! So delicious! The workers were actually Japanese and it tasted very authentic.

I'm so happy I found this place! The fish is So So fresh. I tried the salmon bento box (amazing tempura coming from someone who don't enjoy fried food) and the...

I wouldn't go back for bad service. My friends and I waited for 30 minutes to come to our food, because the restaurant presented allegations.

The hot noodle is really good. What makes it good is the broth. They make the broth with bonito flakes, mackerel, and kelp daily. So it is really tasty. Thanks...
