Genkiya Mart is a Japanese convenience store/grocery located in SoHo, I'm glad it's around considering the closures of a few other Japanese markets in Flatiron and East Village in the past several years. That being said, they def lean more into prepared, ready-to-eat and packaged foods of a typical convenience store in Japan, which makes sense for this foot traffic heavy location. They have a pretty decent selection of sushi maki rolls and nigiri, packaged desserts, hot bentos and bowls (pork katsu and gyudon), onigiri and chilled drinks. The produce they carry comes smaller bunches and packaged in plastic, they don't carry fresh meat or dairy though there are some of these items in the frozen section. Snacks, ramen, dry foods and condiments they have plenty of, as well as a small selection of bath/beauty and cute stickers and socks in the back. On this hot and humid day, I stopped in for a drink--grabbed a chilled oolong tea--and will be back to pick up some sushi rolls at some point I'm sure! Staff interaction was brief though friendly at the checkout counter. read more

Japanhattan! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Genkiya Mart is the closest thing to a Family Mart or Lawson's from Japan. It's a well-organized Japanese grocery store and deli with a bright, clean layout, making it easy to browse imported Japanese goods[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I doubt the egg sandwiches made it all the way here from Japan, but the look the same. Pick up a Coolish, which is a frozen packet of soft serve you can put on your neck to cool off before you eat it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have microwaves and tables- if they run out of seats, go eat at DeSalvio Playground nearby.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Allegedly they sell their deli, sushi, bento boxes, etc at 50% discount every night at 8pm. People come in at 7:30 and it's like Brack Friday. $10 min on credit card, so bring cash. read more

I was just thinking about a Japanese bento box for a late lunch. As luck would have it, we were steps away from Genkiya Mart. We visited before and knew what to expect. After surveying the food option we got the chicken karage don. It came with 6 chicken meatballs, sticky rice, broccoli, marinated daikon and cabbage. There are two small tables to eat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We scored a table and enjoyed the meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Forget about parking. Use a lot or ride share. read more

Heard good things about Genkiya. I went a bit too early as I wanted some onigiri but not available until 10AM. There is a wide range of snacks, ramen, udon, cute merch, drinks. Staff is nice with a smile. Will make another trip to catch the onigiri. Items such as sushi, bento and onigiri are 50% off after 8PM. read more

Genkiya Mart - International Grocery Near Me - New York, New York

Japanese grocery in soho right off spring street. It has your usual Japanese grocery items, as well as some beauty items in the back. After 8pm they offer items at 50% off.

Food poisoning! Be careful! Yesterday, 07.03.2026, around 11 a.m., I got Philadelphia rolls with salmon; they just brought them in the basket from the kitchen. Around 6pm, I started feeling really bad, and an hour later, all symptoms of food poisoning appeared. I'm still recovering read more

Every single night at 8pm, people line up to get sushi, bentos, onigiri, and more at 50% off from Genkiya Mart, a Japanese grocery store in SoHo. Come a bit earlier to choose what items you want for dinner (or lunch the next day) and wait until 8pm to check out. There's going to be a long checkout line, but it moves fast! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff are friendly, the mart is well organized, and there are two clean tables inside that you can eat at.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The avocado they use in their food items is so creamy and soft. This may be one of the best sushi deals in NYC and is a solid option for a quick grab-and-go meal in Manhattan. What we got: (2) sushi boxes: eel avocado & spicy tuna with salmon avocado (1) rice dish: chicken karaage don (2) onigiris: Shrimp tempura & lobster onigiri Total: $22.50 after 8pm read more

L was watching a Mike Chen video and he really liked this place. I don't agree with most places he recommends so we wanted to check this place out since we were going to be in the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's seems like a clean market... a lot of the products are really highly processed and the fresher items like veggies.. are really pricey..I can get them delivered to my house for less than half the price[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. A lot of young people appeared out of nowhere. Once it hits 8pm, the sushi, bentos, and onigiris are 50%. Line went quickly so at least we didn't have to wait long. Most of the customers are college students but some of them can clearly afford better food than supermarket sushi... I can't recommend the sushi.. It tasted like old supermarket quality sushi cuz we did buy it around 8pm. I don't know what I was thinking. It had good reviews. It's not worth the 50% off. So bad.. I would never get sushi from a market again. We couldn't finish the food and threw away half of everything. I tried a few bites of the rice ball, few bites of the toro sushi box and a few sushi rolls. The rice was still so cold and a lil hard even after the commute home. The sashimi fish boxes are not worth it. It's just a lil fish with a ton of hard rice that doesn't taste good. And I love rice. The rice balls did have more protein than more popular places I've been to, but Genkiya's was pretty bland. One of the 2 drinks L bought was also pretty horrible.. I won't be back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Still very clean and the staff were nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great little Japanese mart! I was shopping around the area and stumbled into Genkiya. Right away, I was drawn to the fresh food they had on display! Sushi, hot bento, and onigiri were fully stocked with a wide variety of flavors. I tried the salmon teri and salmon kewpie mayo onigiri which were absolutely delicious- I went back to buy a second set of them. There was a minimum of $10 on a card charge which may pose a challenge if you're only buying something small but I added on some new japanese candies to try. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also liked how they had a sitting area with a microwave and hot water if you wanted to heat up food or maybe eat some ramen.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely come back here again, especially to take advantage of the 50% off! read more

I was drawn by the 50% off sushi, bento, and onigiri after 8pm so I decided to get some myself. I got the eel, tuna avocado + spicy tuna, and a spicy crab ongiri, all of which totaled a bit more than $12 after discount and taxes. It is an amazing deal as it is a lot of food, but the sushi was so mid and not the freshest. I would've written it off for the amazing value but I just can't, since the salmon was quite fishy and the eel was slimy and fishy. It's as if the sushi came from a grocery store (I guess it technically is, but you get what I mean). People shop before 8pm then wait in line until 8pm to start checkout, so I recommend going early for the ample selection or just skip the lines by taking chances on what's remaining thereafter. read more

Solid little Japanese mart! Definitely recommend going after 8PM for their 50% off deals on hot food and sushi!!

Nice & neat Japanese market with a good selection of Japanese & Asian groceries (snacks, some fresh produce, sauces, noodles etc.). Prices seemed reasonable / at market rate. Everything was well organized and clean. I think the biggest draw might be the 50% off prepared items after 8pm (sushi, bento boxes, onigiri). I happened to go there around 7.50pm by chance, wondering why a whole bunch of people had food in their hands and were lingering around the store. The moment it hit 8pm, they all started lining up to pay. I took advantage of that and indeed got a great deal on avocado maki rolls and seaweed salad onigiri- this came out to ~$6 with the 50% for both items! I think the onigiri was $3 and avo sushi was $9, before discount. The avocado sushi was so good!! LOTS of avocado and a very thin layer of well seasoned rice- just the way I like my maki rolls. Overall- nice grocery store. If you are in the area around 8pm, you will get a great deal! read more

I've visited Genkiya Mart twice solely for their daily 50% off promotion for sushi, bento, and onigiri at 8pm. This is an amazing deal as I don't see myself purchasing these items normally from a market at normal price, and it helps them get rid of extra leftover food. My go-to selections is mainly the shumai and the salmon nigiri because I think they taste decent. I tried the tuna and didn't like it. Generally, people come a bit earlier to choose what they want and then get in line to start paying at 8pm. read more

I stumbled upon this Japanese supermarket one night in Soho. They have a 50% off sushi, bentos, onigiri after 8 pm each night. When I went in at 7:45 pm, people start gathering their items and at 8 pm on the dot, they start lining up to pay. So if you want to get the deal, go there early. Will definitely stop by another to buy their other items before 8 pm. read more

Can't go wrong with 50% off their sushi / hot foods selections after 8pm!! It makes the food SOO worth it! I do recommend getting there a bit before 8pm to scope out and pick the options you want before most people come and grab the good stuff. LOVE getting the onigiris and sushi boxes. Their sushi boxes come in either one or two types of rolls / sashimi. They also have a breadth of hot foods, ranging from miso soup, to takoyakis, to rice bowls. Overall, can't complain for their sale price!! read more

Thought I should give them another chance from last time which was seven months ago back in October 2023. Of course, they still have the awesome 50% off deals on all bentos, rice bowls, sushis, and onigiris after 8pm daily. As soon as I'd walked in, so happy to see that they've finally put in a microwave for customers to warm/heat up their food like rice bowls and miso soups. Not only that, but also the food would look fresher than before especially the rice bowls. People should've the option of being able to eat warm food right after making a purchase in my opinion. I'm just really glad that they've finally decided to add in that feature which will not only benefit everyone in the future but also the staff and us customers. Ambiance wise is like your typical deli/grocery store but a whole lot cleaner and brighter. read more

(Unprofessional staff alert!) Product line up is alright just like other mediocore japanese market with snacks, goods and some grocery. But this place gets 1 star for the employee being rude. We asked a simple question but the employee weren't getting the point but fair enough not the big deal no harms done. But here is the twist. We thanked for the question being answered and this guy (pretty old looking so he probably a manager or something) shows attitude right way and comments shyt in his language. We both repectfully said thank you for him bagging our stuff and as I was trying to reach for the bag this ol dude drops the bag like a mic infront us showing full intentional attitude. Just ignores us saying thank you drops the bag and walks away like he got some problem. I'm sure he knew what he was doing exactly because it was pretty obvious enough for me to take my time write this unpleasant review. Thanks! read more

I normally don't get sushi from a supermarket but I must say Genkiya has some tasty sushi for the price. I definitely will come back to get other sushi and bento boxes. I will also definitely come back to see what other groceries there are in the store. The service was pretty quick and efficient. read more

Genkiya Mart is a new Japanese mart that opened up in the SoHo area - they have aisles of various types of chips, sushi, onigiri, and bento boxes that are super quick to get a few to-go for snacks/meals.

As I walked in, I noticed they were actively restocking the sushi, which looked fresh and inviting. They also offered a wide range of onigiri and meal boxes at reasonable prices.

I was super happy with the mart but after bought the food and brought home, my husband had diarrhea! I have no idea how long for the fish to put in their refrigerator but after my husband had that sushi, he went to toilet all night. In another hand, I didn't have the same dish as him but I also super strong with dirty bacteria, so I hardly get diarrhea unless it ridiculous dirty. I was fine. so for myself I like that they have lot of Japanese stuff I like but with some people who didn't explore to germ that much, their might have a trouble here. read more

If you haven't been here yet, I suggest you GO NOW. Food: Sushi was comparable to that of restaurant quality I've had but at a fraction of the price. Decently quality, you get what you pay for but it tastes very good and is inexpensive. Onigiris were very good aswell. 8/10 Service: Very nice workers with a good line system and friendly cashiers. 10/10 Ambiance: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just a regular deli in manhattan that's Japanese based.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 10/10 Overall a great experience, needless to say the best grab and go Japanese food I've seen. The location is a bit far for me because I'm in queens however it definitely is worth it. If you go past 8pm, all hot foods are 50% off. read more

I wanted to check this place out. I got 3 different onigir and a pork katu curry. It's was sadly all underwhelming. One of the onigir was labeled incorrectly and didn't taste good. The other two didn't even have a distinct flavor. You couldn't tell what it was. The pork katus was so salty, borderline inedible. The rice somewhat mushy and overcooked. There was not enough curry to rice and pork. But that doesn't matter because is wasn't very good. No spice or actual seasoning over then salt. If I tasted blindfold, I wouldn't say it was curry of any kind. ( I love curry from all over the world). The container for the katus curry also leaked a bit and the curry spilled into the rice ( even if it didn't there still would have enough curry). I wanted a bag to carry the food home and they didn't have the wide bags for the giant sized bento. Got a small white paper bag. I was stuck holding it upright (the bento box) the bag was useless at this point, considering at the hold it up to the side so the container couldt fit inside. By the time I got home, the back was was damp. And even more useless, and the top of that, my hand was cramped for holding it up so long. The store it self wasn't bad at all. It was small, cute organized; a little bit of everything that you might need. There's only one person at the cash register, and it was a line. They could have at least had an extra person at the register to make things more efficient. Hopefully things improve here. But I'm not sure if I'm going to stop by again. I would have like to have a place for a quick bite, but I did not enjoy the food whatsoever. read more
