Decent Japanese restaurant with classic Japanese dishes. Not too common to find some of the foods they have. It’s in a Food court where you get your food from the counter whenever your buzzer goes off.

Since this restaurant is in a food court, there’s no table service, and the ambiance is just what you’d expect from a typical Japanese food court. The pork chops were perfectly crispy, though a bit lean for my taste—I personally prefer a fattier cut. That said, it was still a great lunch, and the fried oysters were equally delicious. I’d definitely come back for another meal!

Lunch special at Mitsuwa food court.
Pork katsu curry + cold soba = $14.34 after 5% off for cash payment. Extra .35 for to-go orders. Katsu is breaded differently; solid meal for the price point

MATsui is a fantastic spot for Japanese comfort food! The Crispy Chicken is a must-try—perfectly golden, crunchy, and flavorful without being too greasy. It’s cooked just right, making every bite satisfying.
Another standout is the Takoyaki, which is deliciously crispy on the outside and soft inside, with a great balance of flavors. The toppings and sauce add just the right touch, making it one of the best I’ve had.
The location is also great, making it convenient to stop by for a quick bite or a casual meal. With friendly service and a cozy atmosphere, MATsui is definitely worth visiting if you’re craving some quality Japanese street food.

I ordered the shrimp tempura with the udon combo. The udon tastes very delicious and cooked with good texture. However, the batter they used in frying the shrimp was super thick, not flaky at all. The shrimp is small and quality is really bad. It is nothing like the sample presented by the window.
I won’t order the same dish again. But I will try other dish.

Out of all the food stands at Mitsuwa, Matsui is my favorite. I’ve been eating here since we first moved down to Dallas in 2019, and the quality hasn’t changed. COVID-19 made a lot of the stands close down at Mitsuwa, but Matsui stayed strong during that time.
They have a glass display of what the dishes look like (similar to what you see in Japan), and the portions are pretty big. I don’t think their prices increased much in the last 3 years, which is why I still love to eat here. I usually get a small pork katsu don combo, and it comes with either cold soba noodles or hot udon soup. The price is like $13 after taxes and I have a bit of leftovers to take home. If you want some curry, get it on the side for $3. Ours came in a pretty big bowl and it was enough to feed 3 people. Overall, this is definitely one of the more solid spots in Mitsuwa if you want to dine at the food court.

Matsui’s Japanese food court is a delightful haven for katsu and tempura enthusiasts. The katsu is perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside, showcasing a mastery of traditional cooking techniques. Paired with a side of fluffy rice and flavorful miso soup, each bite is a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that leave a lasting impression. Whether you’re a regular or a first-time visitor, Matsui’s commitment to quality and taste shines through in every dish, making it a must-visit for Japanese cuisine lovers.

The cashier was super nice. I ordered the chicken katsu curry, non-spicy. However, the curry was a bit too sweet for me and I should have gotten the spicy version. I was reminded of brown gravy. The chicken katsu was nicely breaded and hot though. Takoyaki was ok. I would come back to try another dish.

I got pork katsu don bowl and the boyfriend got the chicken katsu don bowl. The chicken one was better. The meats tasted great on both, and the rice tasted fresh. The miso soup was alright, but the tofu inside it was really small.

Maybe the issue is I just got back from Japan and the fact I was born there but this place was a disappointment. The first was a process issue. They wait to get the whole order complete before they call your number. So my wife’s tendon which has fried tempura came out first. By the time we noticed it was on the counter on a tray it had been at least 7 mins. We went up and got it and the tempura had already started cooling off and as you know cold tempura is not tasty. I had the chicken katsudon and unfortunately the chicken was tough. It was palatable and I generally don’t return food but I will probably not be back. My miso soup also was served in a bowl that didn’t have all the soap washed out of it. Bummer!
