My wife, 2 year old, and I went here Saturday night. We followed other reviewers' advice and parked at the Beverly Center, which was a great tip (thank you). After eating, go back into the Beverly Center to check out the pet store for some free kiddie entertainment. Anyways, we did have to wait a while (15 minutes at least) to get a table, which can be a challenge with children. However, Mishima keeps a stock of Japanese nursery tale children's books in the waiting area, which kept us happily occupied. When we were seated, we got a table along the back wall, which was nice, because there was a long booth-style bench rather than solely chairs. This is always better for children because they can kind of move and climb around (the trick is to box them in between you and a wall). There are some complete kid meals that come in these cute concentric containers, which children might find fun/adventurous. The food was decent and reasonably priced, especially considering the neighborhood. As an added bonus of sorts, we sat next to a well-known actress and her hubby and two children. Overall, I could definitely see this place becoming part of our regular dinner rotation. My only gripe/concern was having to wait (which I hate). Hopefully, by getting there a little earlier (I think we dined at 7:30pm), we'll beat the crowd next time.
Pros: kid friendly, reasonably priced
Cons: crowded
