Mitsuwa Marketplace on Paularino (just off Bristol) in Costa Mesa is a pretty good place for Chinese/Japanese/Korean lunches.

Gypsy Den- bletch! As it says in the review, a bunch of hippies. I prefer my organic cardboard with a bit more flavor.

But in the same center, one of the best restaurants in Orange County is Habana. Cuban food, not overly pricey, and much atmosphere after dark.

Totally agree with Habana. The Sangria and Chicken Picadillo is great.

Another really good (and relatively inexpensive) Japanese/sushi restaurant is Tenko Teriyaki House down the 405, at Culver and Michelson in Irvine.

Cool, now I know of an alternate Cuban restaurant to go to besides Felix in Orange.

The best Japanese restaurant in Orange County is within 5 driving minutes of the Hotel. Kitayama, Bristol west of Jamboree. They have sushi, teppan, they've got it all in one place.

Try the seaweed. There is plenty in the ocean.
