So sad to hear the owners are selling their market. Happy that they are heading off to a needed retirement. BUT as a loyal customer that looked forward to their kind, professional welcoming we were sad to see young kids goofing off, on cell phones, throwing our items in the bag carelessly. I hope the owner spends time getting to know his customers, because young kids like this don't build customer relations. Good luck to both!! read more

I found: mochiko flour, mochi, rice crackers, manapua, and tons of flavors of furakake here. Unexpectedly i also got a fantastic set of wire brushes for less than $5!! Love this place read more

I love that there is a market close by with all the goodies. The staff is always so nice, they have so much selection for being such a small store. The store is very well organized. They have all kinds of ramen, sauces, seasonings, snacks. They also have individually wrapped ice creams that myself and my children loved. read more

An old-time spot for finding the best ingredients to make great Asian meals. I've been going here for 25 years and I learned today from the new owner that they just bought it. I'm wishing them well, hopefully it will continue to be a successful and wonderful source for great "authentic" ingredients. read more

Good selection of items and very nice local business. Even had a few hard to find asian products

I was glad that when Asahi changed hands they still carry a good selection of Japanese foods, teas, snacks! It's is cleaner and better organized than before and the owner is very friendly and helpful! read more

Keep shopping in this store for more than 10 years, small business with everything we need from Asia. The owner is a very nice lady and always very nice and helpful. Price is reasonable, same as we drive more than one hour to Ktown or Chinatown. So highly recommended if you need anything from east Asia. read more

SOLD: The market that was owned by the sweet Japanese Couple was sold to money hungry people who are rude and unprofessional. So rude I wanted to go off at the guy. He ordered me around like take stuff out basket, you put basket there, definitely not polite respectful like the old owners. They are money hungry and have raised prices. I paid and he acted like he did me a favor letting me shop there. There are other better larger Asian markets in Oxnard and they are Island View Market on Pleasant Valley Rd and Seafood City Market on Rose Avenue. PRICES HAVE GONE UP NOTICEABLY!!!! NEVER GOING BACK UNLESS OWNERSHIP CHANGES. read more

Friendly staff, small but nice and cohesive selection to choose from. Prices are about what you would expect from a specialty shop

It's a small gem nesting in downtown Oxnard, but it has almost everything you need here if you need any Asian grocery. The price is good too. They got all the delicious Asian snacks here. They also sell the tuna and yellowtail sashimi. They are frozen but in a rectangular block. You just need to put it in the fridge overnight and slice them and serve. They are restaurant quality. I love their thin sliced ribeyes for hot pot. Overall, the price is better than other bigger Asian markets around. I definitely recommend it. read more

One of the best Japanese grocery stores in this area. Great selection of hard to find items. I always enjoyed this store as a kid 50 years ago and still do, to this day. Always fun to explore and try new products. read more

After moving back to Oxnard from LA, I was wondering if there was a market that had various Asian groceries available. Asahi Market, though small, held many of the staple items that I would buy.

Just one of those little neighborhood speciality stores that's been around forever. Great place to get speciality Japanese and other Asian foods / goods. read more

I was shocked to find another market like these close by to my home.The one I went to before moved so I was a bit sad but now I can go pick up condiments and snacks I don't have in my other markets! read more

Asahi is a quaint Asian market that has been part of the community for several decades. It's on the small side but is packed with hard to find Asian items. The store has changed ownership and now carries a wider variety of Asian fare, however the basic Japanese items are still in abundant stock. Came in for a specific flour and while we were there, some kids came in to get spicy ramen (which they were well stocked with - see photo!) The prices are reasonable for a lot of items and higher on some, however it is in line with what they should be since it saves you a trip from driving to LA if you live in the area. Note this is located in La Colonia so keep that in mind when going there. Small parking lot located behind the store (across from the Boys and Girls Club). read more

If you are looking for an asian marketing the Oxnard area, this is it. We have been coming for a few years now and have always been happy on our trips. The place itself is small, but recently they have "expanded" their store. Where before they had their videos at the back of the store, now they have moved all of their kitchen essentials (bowls, soup spoons, chop sticks, tea pots, etc, etc, etc), creating a feeling of better flow in the main/front of the store. From japanese soda pops, candy, crackers to main dishes (noodles, curry paste), even fresh ingredients (think japanese veggies) and sea food. This market makes a perfect spot to get all the stuff you need and won't find at your local Vons. The owners are as nice as they come. If i can't find something, they quickly help me find it. The only thing, I can easily spend $50 on a basket full of stuff i shouldn't be eating, like the giant box of Meiji strawberry crackers i inhaled, haha read more

I came here looking for udon noodles, which Asahi Market had a great selection of. I also found Orion beer, which I was extremely excited about. They also have a good sake selection, and many other beverages. No real gold drinks, but they did have Oi Ocha bottled green tea in their cooler which was nice. Of course they have a large amount of snacks, sauces, and grocery items from Asia. The employees are also super friendly. Someone handed me a shopping cart when they saw my hands full. read more

I was expecting to have to drive into L.A. to find a good Asian grocery, but then I found Asahi Market listed on Yelp! Visited this morning and was blown away by the selection of Asian, especially Japanese, products. So many different kinds of noodles and rice, instant and frozen ramen, sauces, oils, curry and soup mixes. Snacks like crackers, candies, even rice balls. And they have fresh udon and rice noodles in the refrigerator case. This list only scratches the surface! And both the "mom" and "pop" in this shop were incredibly helpful and friendly. Don't be deterred by people saying it's in a 'bad area'. I never had a single concern. If you're worried just go during daylight hours. But definitely go! read more

Decent little Asian market in Oxnard. They don't have a huge selection, so if you are looking for Asian herbs and vegetables you won't find them here. Great for finding Asian candies and snacks. Minimum purchase amount required if using a credit card. read more

I like to go to Asahi market when I need Japanese groceries and don't want to go to LA to grab just a few essentials. The owners are very friendly and will answer any questions you have. They take special orders of items when they go to LA on Thursday. The prices are reasonable. The parking lot is a bit small but you can park in the lot next door. They carry specialty Japanese and Korean items you can't get in the regular grocery store. read more

Asahi Market is literally like the Marukai, Daiso, & Mitsuwa mini version of the locations in LA! Mainly for Asian grocery needs. Came here to buy melona Popsicles & came out without it & ended up buying ingredients for sushi & my rice, lol! Don't be fooled by the location of this market & how it looks outside. Downtown Oxnard may not have the best looking places but I definitely think this market is a hidden gem. I came in here way more excited than I thought. Found the limited edition green tea goods I usually buy out in LA/Chinatown, furikake seasoning, Asian chocolates, sriracha goods, basically items you would usually eat/purchase at a Japanese/Asian restaurant. - Parking lot right behind it on Oxnard Blvd. - Takes card & ca$h - Stay on the safe side & go during the day time. read more

Great store to pick up essential Asian goods! My weekly shopping list includes: frozen dumplings, throwback Korean snacks, and a bunch of ramen noodles. They have such an assorted selection. They even have fresh kimchi delivered every week so I'm always stocking up on jars of kimchi and of course rice! I was even craving Korean seafood pancake and sure enough I was able to get all the ingredients there. So happy that I found this hidden gem! read more

This store is a life saver! There aren't very many authentic Asian restaurants in this area so I have to cook it myself. Luckily Asahi has a smorgasbord of products... Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc. Being able to eat well during the lockdown def helped to pass the time. Extra bonus: Sweetest Korean couple! read more

I have been shopping here since the 70s. They have all the Japanese and Korean foods that i need. The owners are very nice people. It is nice to shop at locally owned and managed specialty market. They have a nice selection of items and prices are reasonable. read more

@Asahi Market, you are an excellent establishment and I want to apologize for the terrible woman who mentioned the 10 people capacity. I was there and should have spoken up in regards to her blatant stupidity and rude behavior to the staff and customers. She was incorrect as the 10 people limit is an adherence for gatherings and not towards essential grocery stores. I believe grocery stores are not limited so long as people can maintain a safe distance from each other as well as abide to the stores actual capacity. This community sincerely appreciates the fact that you did your best to maintain your shelves and remain open for us. To the woman who decided to give these hard working people a hard time, I shall see you again and we will have a discussion about respect and ignorance. Thank you Asahi Market, we hope to visit your store after this event is remediated. read more

The products are not well organized. Prices are more expensive than a regular market. Limited items.

My mom and I have been coming to Asahi market for all our Asian grocery needs. It's located on Oxnard Blvd in downtown Oxnard and it's close to where my parents work. It is a bit pricier than LA Asian markets but I wanna support the local businesses and with gas prices going up lately, can't always make that roundtrip to LA. Asahi market also as a VHS/DVD rentals in the back behind the deli section so go check out their Korean dramas at least :) read more

Loving this asian market in the middle of Oxnard who would have thought? I've been driving by this place for years but figured it would be "so out there" for me that I just kept passing by. Well with my taste for asian flavors growing I decided to finally make a pit stop. So glad I did! Reminds me of downtown LA, lots of ancient little markets with the same feel as this one, you can tell it's been around awhile but it gives you that homie feeling. Selection: 4stars! Happy to say that I found a lot of old goodies that reminded me of my childhood. Great ramens, candies, sauces, chili oils, and drinks. Only thing that seemed to be missing was an extensive seafood counter. Owner was friendly I felt very welcomed without feeling haggled or like I was being watched. Also he was very friendly at checkout giving me pointers on some of the items I had bought. Also pricing was decent, most of the items I bought ranged from $5/6 but also good deals on different sauces for under $5. I will be coming back!!!! read more

Random stop while wine tasting in Oxnard. This is a cute little market right off the main street. The shelves are filled with all kinds of tasty treats, from choco mushrooms, curry, sauces to shirataki noodles. They had fish and other meats in the back refrigerated section. For such a small shop, they really pack it all in there. Friendly service, when I asked one of the employees for a particular product, he kindly showed me where it was. You do have to spend $10 to use a credit card, but that isn't really hard to do with all the different products to try. read more

I love going there! The products are amazing are they have a really big ramen section! There are also lots of fun products in the back! The ice cream is in the front and it is amazing! I found the boba ice cream that was going around TikTok for a while ther and it was absolutely amazing! I love the people they are super friendly and if you buy lots of things they put all your stuff in a box super neat and cute :) read more

I love to walk up and the isles and look for items that I've never seen before. This is my go to place for spices, sauces and ramen. Every time I come here I find something new. Sometimes the parking can have sketchy people so I park directly behind the market now. read more

Luv this store!! I've been going there for years!! The owners recently renovated their store. They are the sweetest couple!!

Small market but carry the best selection of Asian food/sauces/seasonings! My go to for job tears (Japanese barley), fried garlic, chili and garlic sauce, dried fungi and other fun goodies!

Don't live in Oxnard but have passed by this market several times over the years without stopping by. Big mistake. There's a reason they've been around for as long as they have. Went in for the first time today and was amazed at the variety of items offered. They offer staples for preparing Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese cuisine as well as delicious snacks, drinks and desserts. Staff is so kind and helpful. Was carrying heavy bottle when cashier offered to hold item at register until I was done shopping. Needed help finding a particular item and another cashier led me to the item and explained the differences between the the particular items they had. I'm far from an expert in Asian cooking of any kind, but I feel a lot less intimidated knowing that there is such an awesome, expert, friendly store in the next city! read more
