" This place surprised me in the best way. I recently moved to the area and was looking for good Japanese food. The soft shell crab roll was simply unforgettable! The atmosphere is vibrant, and the service is friendly. I’ll be bringing more friends next time. Highly recommend trying their ramen! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful gem! I stumbled upon Mirin Cafe when I was searching for great ramen in Escondido, and I’m so glad I did.

" Truly an underrated spot for ramen lovers! I visited with a friend last weekend, and we both left impressed. The tsukemen was outstanding, as were the various sushi rolls. The atmosphere was laid-back, and the service was prompt. I loved that they have a drive-through as well, making it convenient for lunch. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I truly enjoyed my visit to Mirin Cafe! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a rainy day. I ordered the miso soup, which was delicious, but I found the ramen a touch bland for my taste. The server was super friendly, and my meal came quickly. It’s a great spot for a casual meal.

" I just had one of the best dining experiences at Mirin Cafe! Everything from the atmosphere to the food was impeccable. The staff greeted me with smiles and I felt like I was in a little slice of Japan. The ramen had layers of flavor that I didn’t expect. Highly recommend trying the garlic version! I’ll definitely make this my go-to spot for ramen. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really wanted to love Mirin Cafe, but sadly, it didn't live up to the hype for me. The ramen was quite lackluster in flavor and the service, while friendly, was a bit slow. On the positive side, the restaurant has a very charming vibe which makes it inviting. I might give it another chance with a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)
