There's a meat and seafood section, fresh veggies. And an array of Japanese sundry items like dressings, rice crackers, nori, rice, sake and beer. There's also a big variety of Japanese candy and chocolates. The store is clean and workers are very helpful. Scored extra points since I was carded for buying a 24 pack on Sapporo which was on sale. I had to laugh that I was carded at my age! LOL It's located in the Best Buy shopping area where there's plenty of parking.

You can pick up bento boxes or grab hot food as well - from comfort items like katsu curry to steamed buns (nikuman) and more. It's an easy spot when you want something quick without sacrificing quality. They also have cakes and desserts at reasonable prices, which is a nice bonus. The market itself can be a bit more expensive, but you're paying for higher-quality items, especially in their produce and specialty products. Also, it gets pretty cold inside - bring a jacket!

But I do realized the sushi and meat and fish are not as fresh as the bigger locations with more foot traffic. Even some meat's color seems off.. Recent purchased of sushi and hot food wasn't as fresh either. Purchased the salmon sushi. Their was an after taste to it and seemed a bit awkward like it was soaked it something. Their paper bag is thin as toilet paper. My bag didn't even make it in my house and it ripped and everything dropped out including my sushi and hot food spilled out. Wasted half the food that ended on the ground. To make matter worse, their sushi trays are now made with paper on the bottom tray and plastic cover on top. Doesn't make sense because the tray also soaked and ripped apart. The good thing about the shop is convenient and small. If you're in a rush, makes a good short stop. Free ice in the back for the summer days to keep your meat and produce cool. Next to Daiso and in the Citibank shopping center.

You go in for what you know, and that already gets you caught up, but then you also want to try something new because there's always something new to try. Sometimes it's a gamble, sometimes it's amazing and you're like "OMG! I need this every time," and sometimes you're like "what was that?" And you really don't know what it was because the descriptions aren't in English. The staff is always super friendly. If you go for hot food during lunchtime, you will get caught up because you'll want to pile your plate high and forget they weigh it & you can easily end up with a $24 plate on top of all your groceries. They have great sweet treats that aren't super high in sugar, which is a plus. Their ramens are my favorite. I've probably tried every one. My favorite is the one with the black pieces in it (I think they're mushrooms). I still haven't tried the mushrooms, but the creamy broth mix is everything. Their sparkling sodas are always delicious. My favorite is the Hello Kitty strawberry one. I told all my friends about it, and me and my sister go regularly. My sister loves the banana milk! Definitely recommend!

They have a lot of premade food options. Some are decently priced and some are on the pricier side…read more If you go at 7pm or latter they do mark down the sushi and other premade food by 20% off. The thing that's good about going to Tokyo central for premade sushi is that they make all their sushi fresh daily and what's not sold is marked down and got rid of before next day compared to other markets where they sell their sushi that's like 2-4 days old. They went viral for awhile for having a hot food bar, which looked like a buffet but in reality you grab what you want but it's $15.99 a pound. The pound adds up really quick and you end with paying like $30. The food isn't that great in the hot food bar in my option so I'd skip it. The market itself is very pricey it's not a cheap market. So if your planning on buying grocery your gonna pay high prices. I'd go here for a quick sushi roll or some mochi they sell a bag from Japan for $3.99 with red bean that's pretty good. One of my favorite food item is the umami chicken karage with rice that's pre packaged and if you can snag it while it's still hot that great. Its usually on a separate table on in the refrigerated section, It's the one with some teriyaki sauce over it, not the regular one. As you exit you can grab utensils, napkins, wasabi. ginger, soy sauce. Parking is a hit and miss, it's a popular market if you go there at lunch time it's packed or weekends. Personally I drop by to get a quick bite, sushi roll or chicken karage . They do have a food court that has a Japanese bakery, takoyaki , a katsu place. Upstairs they have a sushi bar which is unique I havnt tried it but seems a bit pricey but looks like quality. Looking for something Japanese in food wise, this would be one of the places to go to look for it. I don't know why it seems like every Asian market I've been to is so cramped and hardly any space when trying to get around with a cart. It's the same here.t

The prices aren't even cheaper than a regular restaurant, and unfortunately the quality didn't justify them.

I have only used it once or twice, but it was convenient when it was available. It seemed like much of the time, some left their car there to charge for long periods of time without shopping.

Today I went in and tried to get a middle cut tri tip plate. They had a piece of meat that was on the end and have been sitting there for a while. I asked the cleric if he could cut into this other several pieces and give me a center cut and he said no we had to take the end piece. I said I didn't want the in peace and wanted the more juicier piece from the center. Ask for the manager and the manager didn't want to do it either. So we decided to skip lunch altogether at this place. No one might think well that's their policy. But I've got in there several times and there will be several pieces cut and that's what it's designed for. They have display window and they even ask you what chicken would you like. Every time we come in here it really looks like they don't love their job. They are not friendly but the food is okay. I've decided just to stop coming to this store altogether. The deli's friendly where you can get sliced meats but the meat department they always seem to be unfriendly, this smoke shop they definitely don't have customer service in mind. I don't go to a place to get perfect service. But it does seem that this place is starting to slip with how they treat a customer who wants to spend money.

The new store is small and I still think they were trying to put it all together so I will give them the benefit of that. The reason for this three star review is that is slightly overpriced. You pick up a few things and a couple little goodies and boy doesn't really hit you in the wallet. I would still visit here as there's not too many other places, selling the stuff besides online, but just prepare yourself for the steep pricing. Good selection of stuff, but check the dates on some things because a few items were expired and it's kind of a bummer when you spend that kind of money to find expired items in your bag when you get home.
