Instant lunch - pick up some excellent Sushi, or Beto Box lunch, along with Green Tee Ice Cream - instant picnic! Quick and Easy! I've enjoyed everything that I have picked up there. Can't testify to the rest of the store as I've only done lunches from there - the people that work there are all very nice - definitely feels like a traditional Japanese store. read more

I Love LOVE this place- and while I currently live in Chicago next to the Baron of Japanese Markets- Mitsuwa, I love this place even more. Although it is not as large as Mitsuwa and doesnt have the same variety, service is spot on and the prepared foods are delicious!! I ended up buying a nigiri plate, and an unagi dish served on rice! read more

Fujiya Market is a small hidden gem for those looking for Japanese groceries and or snack foods. They have a remarkable selection of items that one would usually find in a small corner market in Tokyo. I was looking for cream melon soda, and even though they did not stock it they were more than willing to order a case for me which came in in less than a week. They have wonderful homemade bento boxes that you can take home and warm up or take with you to any place that has a microwave. The bento boxes are really delicious and well made. Paired with a cold soft drink from their large selection or a cold Kirin or Sapporo and you have a wonderful lunch or light dinner. They also carry a nice selection of snacks as well as a small selection of accessories that one would find in a similar type store in Japan. There is also an area with table and chairs where you can heat up your selection and eat it on the premises. For the person looking for Japanese foods and snacks this is the ideal place, read more

The selection has gone down here :( and that totally makes me and the hubs sad, cuz there are certain things that we liked getting here, specifically. We hope certain items will come back. I like this store because the things we do buy here we can't find elsewhere. I also like the variety and quality here. Rice varieties, eggs, nato, other Japanese foods (don't know they names of - sometimes I just try new things from the fridge ;)), etc. I know that they choose quality stuff here, so even though we are a bit far, we'll make the drive out! The bento boxes are also delish! This is pretty much one of the few places where you can get bento boxes with the selection it comes with, so we enjoy it when we can! Tried pretty much most of them. Can't really go wrong, but if your picky, sorry... you're missin out! Service is good. They employees are always helpful. Thanks! read more

Although I did find the two items that I came for, I was highly disappointed in this place. It's small and has a lot less than I expected from a "Asian market." The staff wasn't helpful and they didn't even acknowledge me being there until I checked out. read more

I wish Fujiya was closer to me now that I'm no longer a student at ASU. The best bento boxes and rice balls (onigiri). Plus they have my favorite brand of milk tea (kirin), it's not cheap, but what Japanese thing is? Totally worth it by the way. Everyone should go and try it. Don't expect this place to carry everything you'd want (it's pretty small), but it has most of the basics and even some things that other places don't carry. read more

Adorable little market with a good selection of things. Candy, snacks, food type items, and pre-made lunches. The workers there are very polite and helpful. And yes, if you were wondering, they *do* have Redbean pastries in the freezer, "Taiyaki" YESS!! read more

This little store is such a gem! I always stock up on snacks here to eat while I study. This in the only place I can find royal milk tea and matcha tea in a can. The customer service is always great! read more

A small, mostly Japanese food grocery store. I can't always find everything I need, but I do try to give this place as much business as I can. The staff is always friendly and helpful. There is plenty of take-out food available as well. It is clean and well maintained and doesn't have an odor, which some of the larger Asian stores seem to have. read more

For being a smaller store they have real good prices. Unlike some of the smaller asian stores here in town where they charge a lot. Fujiya is always stocked up with great items and is always clean and doesn't smell like some other stores. The staff is friendly and always helpful. The cashier girl is cute too! They have the cheapest price for my favorite Japanese candy, only 0.69 for hi-chews!!! read more

Quant Japanese grocery store with a decent selection on Japanese food. Not huge but has enough to make a read more

See all

My Japanese teacher recommended Fujiya because it's hard to find onigiri in Arizona. From its location and description, I was expecting more inventory. Their candy selection alone is mediocre at best. They don't even carry the most popular of brands. A good 1/4th of their shelves were so barren that I almost wondered if Fujiya is going out of business. I would at least think that an effort would be made to distribute what they sell in a more appealing way. They did have what I was looking for, though - onigiri/obento. Unfortunately, a lot of the food in the bento was tsukemono. Still, it's a store worth a visit once in a while if the drive isn't as far for you as it was for me. read more

Great market; love the bento boxes. Okay the selections are limited. Good spot to go to when I'm in Tempe. read more

I just moved here from Chicago where there's a huge Japanese community, so I was fairly surprised at the collection of goods sold here since there doesn't seem to be quite as large a group of Japanese people in Tempe. The store is pretty spacious, and they sell the basic foods one would miss if from Japan like curry, udon, ramen, ochazuke, etc They also sell some housewares and rent out a small collection of videos that have current Japanese tv shows recorded on them. The prices are basically the same as where I'm from (which is slightly more than I'd like to pay), but that can be expected seeing as most things are probably shipped from Japan. Still, the people are nice, the goods are plentiful, and the prices are sort of right, so I'll be back. read more

I like that they have Japanese bento style meals.

I came here right before they closed hoping to pick up some things from their deli. They didn't have a lot left in their select, a few pastries. I went with their Japanese cheesecake $1.99, which was so soft. It was very good! Almost like a sponge, angel food cake. I will definitely be back, but next time a little earlier. read more

I was so impressed with this little market! I didn't have enough time to get to Asiana so I stopped in to see what offerings were available. As others have mentioned the inventory is not overwhelming; however, I found everything I needed without a problem. And then some. The prices are just a tad higher than the big box stores but that's too be expected at a mom and pop joint that doesn't handle huge volumes. They prepare delicious bento boxes in house and offer a variety of hard to find refrigerated snacks. Definitely going back again and again. Oh and it doesn't hurt that it's located right next door to a Japanese bakery...yum! read more

This place is overpriced but given that it's the only market that sells real Japanese goods within the Tempe area, I guess you have the ability to charge whatever you want. What I do like the best about this place are the authentic Japanese treats (like dango and an-pan)! read more

This place isn't bad. I was torn between 3-4 stars. The people working here are really polite and helpful. The lunch boxes are pretty good, not something to kill for, but I'd rather go here than to some of the Japanese restaurants in Phoenix. If you're looking for something good, but don't have time to sit and order, this place is a great place to go to. The selection of dried and frozen goods is pretty standard, not all of it is from Japan, I was super disappointed that the black mushrooms were all from China. Things I found here that I liked: -cups made in japan -snacks from japan -artwork and clothes "designed" by residents in arizona -pretty good selection of dried and canned goods -really polite staff There are some awesome finds here, but don't count on this market to to blow you away; keep expectations low and you'll be surprised and happy when you leave. read more

Love this minimart! Everything is mostly Japanese and the prices are great. Bought a knife here (Made in Japan) and can tell how high quality and reasonably priced it was. read more

Their lunches are delicious, authentic, and inexpensive. I've stopped in around dinner time and picked from what was left of their bento selection. It still tasted fresh hours later and it was discounted for clearance from an already excellent price. Their onigiri was tasty and very filling for an item that cost just over a dollar. According to the cashier, the chefs make the dishes in a certain order: bento boxes are prepared at 11:30 AM and the rice bowls are made around 12:30 PM. So, keep that in mind if you're stopping in for lunch. As for the market portion, the selection was quality but not extraordinarily large. It fit my needs as far as far as miso soup, nori, and mochi ice cream went. Definitely carries some hard-to-find items for reasonable prices, but it's a bit limited as far as markets go. Small produce selection, frozen/packaged meat selection was small in itself, didn't note any fresh meat. Good for treats and snacks that you can't find elsewhere, but don't go in expecting too much for home cooking supplies. All in all, Fujiya Market will definitely become a regular lunch and treat stop for me. Can't wait to try their unagi bowl, especially since it seems so rare in even upscale local Japanese restaurants! read more

Get their (salmon) bento boxes and their onigiri! I frequent this place a lot due to my current living arrangements, so I have seen their off and on days. It's great to go here when they are all stocked up for a quick lunch and a drink. Their inventory is pretty lack-luster but I feel like what they do have is good quality. In regards to the food, everything is super fresh and made with care! The people who work there are very polite. They have small and large bentos with a nice variety of home-made goodness. The only thing I wish is if I could customize a pre-ordered bento a little bit. I understand that Fujiya is not a restaurant in regards to customization, but if it was, I would be a serious patron. The price for this surprisingly filling box is worth going to, if you live near by. They need to make this operation bigger. read more

We consider ramen here as the best ramen in the whole Phoenix area. Their bento boxes are also very tasty. We visit this place regularly. Nonetheless, today I was disappointed with how I was treated. My fiancé and I ordered two bowls of ramen, jello coffee (you have to try it! :) ), and got one bento box. When the smaller woman at cash register told me how much I owe, my fiancé brought a bottle of green tea. I asked whether she can add this. She said she couldn't, as she already summarized everything. I thought "No problem. I can pay separately". After I paid for the food, she started scanning a bento box of the next customer. I asked "Can I pay for the tea?". Her response was "He was here first, so". That was very awkward. I'm not sure whether she expected me to go to the back of the line now or what (and why?). She wasn't very nice. But as I said, the food is very good and cheap. read more

For a small taste of Japan, I highly recommend this store and well as the bakery and small restaurant next door!

I've been coming here for a while. I can usually find my favorites from tamago tofu, my favorite natto, ingredients for okonomiyaki, some frozen gyudon for when i'm lazy. I use to order a lot of their bento boxes, but I think I ate so many of them that I need a break from them fora little while. My favorite are beef hamburg and yakiniku. I don't think most of the workers recognize me, but that's ok. I'm pretty sure they recognize my husband though (he use to pick up my bentos for me) read more

A small family owned Japanese grocery store with many groceries and delicious bentos fresh made. I love coming here for the bentos that are at a good price! That and the curry pan from the bakery next door. read more

I found this place while searching around on google for Asian markets. I was hungry and in need of sushi ingredients and decided to check this place out. It's smaller than the other Asian markets in the area, but their products are varied and all the good brands. I regret not buying a pre-made bento, but I'll have to come back next week to do so. This may be my new favorite store. read more

I always get my udon ingredients here. Fresh and in smaller portions. Vegetables are great prices, although limited options.

3-stars might seem a little low for a place that holds so dear to my heart but I assure you it's accurate. Fujiya has been the best Japanese-only market I've found to date in any city, they have items I would have never dreamed to have found elsewhere! While my friends constantly recommend places like Lee-Lee's and other Asian market's assuring me they have such neat Asian delicacies I adamantly refuse to stray from Fujiya knowing nothing can compare to the rare finds and fresh lunches they prepare. There are unfortunately downsides to Fujiya Market, one being the hours of operation, I believe they normally close at around 7pm almost every day of the week. I don't know what kind of person can get off work at 5pm and make it down to University & Priest on a weekday (not to mention friday) to still comfortably shop at Fujiya. The only other downside to Fujiya and this being the largest problem I've noticed for the past ~4 years is the uncomfortable setting non-asians receive when shopping around. I understand a large fan base of this Japanese market is annoying young anime watching teens but it seems to me that they don't prefer non-japanese speaking customers in general. I receive no customary greeting when entering the store (as stated by Dan B.) and it is as if every time I go to ring up my incredibly large order of random Japanese foods the person at the till is sighing at me. This is more than a one time fluke as I've been a long time and most docile shopper here at Fujiya. So unfortunately 3 stars is all I've seen fit for this traditional Japanese Market. apologies for the long review! read more

Mugicha (麦茶) aka Barley Tea. In the middle of the summer I was craving it and I usually bring back a number of boxes when I visit California. I found out that Lee Lee's carries it so I stopped smuggling it across the border. But then I went to Lee Lee's and a number of other Asian markets and could not find it. The one place that had it was Fujiya. They hardly have that much to offer but they definitely had that in stock - two different brands even. They probably feel it's a mandatory thing to stock otherwise Japanese students would be dropping like flies dying of thirst. Just kidding. Sort of. I had to have it for myself at least. Saved by Fujiya. New Tokyo Food Market on the west side has a lot more variety of Japanese goods but I didn't want to drive that far. One day when I remember to I'll come here for the Saturday morning ramen. read more

One of few Japanese grocery stores in AZ. Clean and well selected products. Variety of lunch boxes( freshly made) look so yummy. I chose the Tempura soba noodle. It was good but more soup would make it perfect. read more

How come there are no decent super- or not-so-supermarkets west of ASU? I really don't desire shopping at Circle K for my dinner of potato chips and beer. However, I did spy this little Japanese market and descended on it like a displaced Asian American surviving in a state with an Asian population LESS THAN the national average of 4%! Alas, since I had recently stocked up at Lee Lee, I was disappointed at the selection here. Sure, they have a nice selection of sake and sauces, as well as other Japanese munchies (soy crackers and hyper-packaged candies), they didn't have any meats or produce! Don't tempt me with bags of frozen gyoza and a freshly made $3.99(!!!) unagi rice bowl when I'm trying to learn how to cook from scratch. This may very well be a meeting place for Japanese Tempians, as they have a fairly active corkboard with messages both in Japanese and English. They also have a bookshelf of Japanese language videos and mags, but its no Kinokuniya Bookstore. Ah, San Francisco, I still miss you much! read more

Clean, organized, and well-stocked (for the most part), Fujiya's carries my favorite car freshener, chips, bread, and iced coffee (in a can) among many other good things. Reasonably priced and extremely courteous customer service, I am always happy to shop there. The bentos, I wish, are kept in warmers like Suruki in San Mateo, CA, but Fujiya has an area adjacent to the register which includes a microwave to heat your purchased bento, so you can sit and eat and relax after shopping. What I love so much about their service is that I can place my order ahead of time and they'll have it available and ready. I think this is the only Japanese store that has just about everything I need to stock my pantry. It's no wonder I've been coming here year after year. read more

Small japanese market that has snacks and other food which seemed to be a tad bit cheaper than Mekong. The employees were friendly. They have a minimum of $5 purchase to use card, so have cash if you're planning to buy only one or two cheap things. read more

This was such a lucky find. I lived in Japan for a year and have been severely missing it and the food. I was craving onigiri something fierce and did a yelp search and found this place. Unfortunately, by the time I arrived (4pmish) they only had three left, two salmon and one tuna. I really wanted the roasted kelp (my breakfast many times in Japan) but the salmon was good, just a bit salty. They also serve real ramen on Saturdays from what I hear and I am really looking forward to trying it out. They also have a great selection of drinks and snacks that bring back fond memories as well. read more

I had hoped to find a full-sized grocery store like Marukai in SoCal but this place is very small. But despite its size, it carries a nice selection of hard-to-find items like matcha tea, Japanese sardines, paper-thin dry eggroll wrapper, and all kinds of noodles. read more

Mini store which has everything! Delicious delicatessen and a good variety of grocery and produce.

Have been looking for a decent Ramen spot in AZ since Umami closed a few months back unfortunately and Fujiya serves this purpose albeit only on Saturdays. For $6 the broth was flavorful and the noodles were cooked perfectly. The hard boiled egg was tasty and had been marinated before hand. Ramen is only served on Saturdays starting at 11:30 so get there early. They only serve 30 bowls which is a shame, because it is one of the few serviceable ramen options in the state. Seating is also limited as well. read more

Love the options for a quick trip. I usually comer her to get curry mix, bento boxes and onigiri. I recommend calling ahead for the rice balls as they may not be ready. The staff is really nice and will try to help you the best way they can. read more

Best Feature: Bento Fujiya is noticeably different from most Japanese establishments in Arizona in that it's owned and run completely by Japanese. As such, they run the place like a real "conbini" in Japan. As you enter, all of the workers great you with an "Irraishaimase" and you can peruse the isles filled with certain things you can't find in the Japanese section of LeeLee (Like Gabunomi and Qoo). The place reminds me of the Nijiya chain in CA. The Bentos are pretty much the best in the area. A welcome addition to the neighborhood. read more
