Izakaya Meijiya - Costa Mesa

Great restaurant, for all new diners, just note that they are busy with a small layout for tables. Their udon base was fantastic and their tempura was done very well.

The house made udon was super! The texture of the udon had a lightness and springiness which really was a delightful surprise. The soba was also very good. The restaurant also serves izakaya dishes. Fried chicken and beef tongue were good. The duck broth with the soba was excellent. The restaurant itself is a small space and was crowded when we dropped by. There wasn't a long line to wait, but the tables were full. The staff was helpful, but we were looking to order to take away.

Great, busy Japanese cafe. Delicious udon noodles as well as soba, ramen and some sushi. Really helpful staff and very reasonably priced.

The most terrible restaurant !!’nWe waited an hour to get in because the waiter didn’t call us even though the table was already set up. Then we ordered, we waited another 40 mins to get our food. No one cared to ask. Horrible service.

Friendly and good service. The fried chicken and curry was just OK. The curry isnt as bold and rich like others. The chicken was moist but seasoning and breading was mediocre. There was a 15min wait coming at 1:45pm on a Sunday. I would consider coming again to try their other dishes but not if there is a wait.
