Crazy, good beef tongue
Charcoal grilled expertly, son
This ain’t no joke
Take a whiff of that smoke
Nothing but pure beef down that throat
Suckas line up for ramen lookin like pigs at the trough
Little do they know that Gyutan has a better soup broth

I think a haiku is supposed to be 5-7-5
The tongue is delicious and well prepared but it’s so hard not to get ramen. I’m only able to get the tongue if I bring my family along. But then I have to spend an extra $20-$30 on ice cold beer(s) for dad to deal with waiting on multiple lines, getting food from 3-4 stalls, buying additional soft serve and being suckered into a few bags of gummy candies. The price parents have to pay I guess.
Are you basically brown-bagging it in the food court? I could have sworn I saw signs prohibiting alcohol. Cuz an asahi with santouka would be excellent.
There’s an official beer garden at Mitsuwa Costa Mesa.
wow when did this happen? News to me.
I don’t remember. A friend first told me about it 1.5 years ago?
Looks like the next family dinner is gonna be at Mitsuwa. thanks y’all.

They actually have a very nice beer selection and some sake too. I believe Kirin, Sapporo, Asahi and a few Coedo beers available.

Did you hear that sound? Thumb violin concerto “No One Is Feeling Sorry For Your Beer Problems.” 
Haha. Yes I believe they call this a 1st world problem. Drinking ice cold beer while waiting on line for Santouka, beef tongue and tempura.

HOnestly the only decent gyutan in SoCal. When I first had it I was disappointed when comparing it to a place I went to in Tokyo but when reality checks in, I’m not going to do much better than this so I heartily recommend it as well.
