Where my Asians at?

In an awesome example of fobbery, we made not one but two trips to Mitsuwa in Edgewater, NJ. At first we just wanted some snacks for the hotel room and bento for the road, but then we came back for the food court, which was actually pretty good. The three main eateries serve rice dishes, ramen dishes, or soba dishes in the $7-8 range (cash only). Pretty decent for a food court, and there was really good sesame ice cream, too.


While the food and fare is strictly Japanese, the crowd seemed very Pan-Asian. I heard Korean, Mandarin, and Cantonese as much as Japanese. Not much Vietnamese, Cambodian, etc., and there wasn't any Indian or Pakistani presence at all. I always dig seeing the latter groups when GR does college talks on the East Coast, South, or Midwest and hope it isn't something that people just grow out of.
