    Caution with expired maggi, strange items and attitude of the older lady who looks like she doesn't wanna be there

    Wow!!! Recently came here because my friends took me and I was super happy to finally shop here!!!…read moreThis is apparently the largest Japanese market in Gardena (and all of California). It's a very big store that somehow doesn't look as big from the outside, but there are so many things to highlight from here. We were in a city nearby but decided to stop by here because my friends wanted to buy some ingredients. This store was a delight for me as it was so big!!! My favorite section was the many Japanese merchandise of clothes, plushes, and desserts!!! It was super tempting to not buy something haha and I ended up grabbing the box of iconic mango ice cream popsicles!!! It was super yummy and was to my full liking. We ate it straight from the box because we didn't want it to melt in the car ride home. It was super refreshing and delicious. Other highlights was the hot foods bar and lots of Japanese beauty products.

    I absolutely love it here. I'd honestly go out of my way to drive an hour from East LA to Gardena…read morejust to visit Tokyo Central. They have pretty much everything you could need when it comes to Japanese groceries and products, and a lot of the items are reasonably priced. There's also a hot food bar, which is a huge plus bc my boyfriend and I like to grab a few things to share whenever we visit :p Shopping here is always a fun experience, and the staff are consistently friendly and helpful, which makes it even better. Highly recommend!

    Service was really good for an international market. They weren't overly friendly/smiley, but they…read morewere helpful and checked in while I was shopping. The market is fully stocked with all shelves full...maybe over full, as I noticed many items were expired or past their recommended shelf life. Fruits and veggies were pretty fresh, though non-organic. Also, many varieties of spices and rare spicy. Great if you are looking for some hard to find spice for middle eastern, Mediterranean or Asian cuisines. I'm big on overall food freshness, so this is why I wouldn't necessarily recommend this place. If the packaged goods were expired on the shelf, not sure how many other products were aged. Can't tell age of spices, tea or anything else like that, so as Mich as I'd love to support small, local grocers...I just wouldn't come back:( Honestly, if they'd just clear their inventory of old things and keep it simple...they'd get customers like me, but I just can't trust a business that is so cheap, it will discount old things rather than get new ones.

    I came here after seeing many positive reviews, but my experience was disappointing. The produce I…read moresaw was wilted or partially spoiled. This market may be better known for its premade items (many reviews mention the Dubai Chocolate) but if you are shopping specifically for fresh produce, I would recommend going elsewhere. The staff was friendly, and I hope this was an isolated experience, as I would expect fresher items based on the overall reputation.

The staff has always been friendly and patient, and you can surprisingly find a wide variety of items here. We have not tried any of their hot food, but we see that it is popular. We don't always find what we need in this little market, but we are still grateful for its service! The parking lot is small in a plaza with many other businesses, including restaurants, but you'll always find parking. The checkout process is consistently efficient, even when there is a line of patrons, and we certainly appreciate that.

I love that it is small so I never have to wait to check out or worry about parking. I get most everything I need from here for SEA cuisine (papaya salad ingredients, sticky rice, rice pin noodles, frozen ube, canned lychee etc etc). Between a regular grocery store and Saigon market, I find that I don't need to go to the large Asian grocery stores as often to get what I need! There is a bakery here, I only tried two things and it was mid Customer service is great, a gentleman saw me carrying a lot of items and brought me a basket!
