Absolutely wonderful place! Very much an authentic Japanese restaurant and supermarket much like what I saw while visiting in Japan. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great place to find authentic Japanese food, drinks and snacks!! read more

Always great for their delicious ramen! Also always love an ethnic market. So get your Kewpie Mayo here because Costco is said to sell a modified version so not the same. Employees all very kind. Highly recommend! read more

Very much a hidden gem on Long Island. The mart has a large variety of snacks, food, and desserts that are authentically sourced from Japan. Stopped by their food court and had a ramen. It was amazing considering the price and how delicious it was. The worker was very friendly as well and spoke to us about what she recommended. They also have great bakery items as well. We love getting their sausage breads and triangle nigiris in the morning. They stuff those up to the brim, so definitely worth the price. Almond cookies were crispy and tasty. Ambiance is alright. Doesn't seem like there are many people whenever I go. Love the place though. Would recommend to anyone who is looking to try some Japanese food. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 read more

Hanamaru Japanese Mart - Entrance - International Grocery Near Me - Syosset, New York

The store has plenty of food, ramen, snacks, cookies, and cakes from Japan. I've visited the store a couple of times. In the front of the store, they display a lot of ready-to-eat and packed food and groceries. The snack aisle is in the middle, and in the back is the ramen corner. Here, you can order at the counter and have a seat and eat. I liked some of their rice balls, but I loved their poke bowl. It's assorted raw fish over rice, like Chirashi. Come by for a quick bite or for something to go. They have everything for everybody. read more

A marvelous hidden gem on the island! For a small shop, it is jam packed with Japanese goodies. Pre-made food, groceries, ramen, beauty supplies, candy, this place has it all. There's even a cafeteria in the back serving fresh made Japanese food! The employees there were super sweet and willing to help if need be. On top of my groceries (which included barley tea, pokemon themed curry, fruit sandwich and jelly candy), I picked up a freshly made jelly doughnut. Because nothing beats a jelly filled doughnut. But seriously, the spicy tuna onigiri was so good. More tuna than mayo so it didn't feel heavy. And the rice was fresh and warm. Plus, you get to do a little assembly on your own with the seaweed which was cool! Honestly, this place is a bit out of my way, but 1000% looking forward to visit again. read more

Stumbled upon this hidden mart. It has so many snacks and even grocery items. I definitely would've gotten some of the frozen dumplings if I was on my way home. If you go to the back of the store, it's a little ramen shop. It looked really good, too bad I had already eaten read more

Decided to take my son here to check out this Market bc he loves Japanese stuff and it's the closest you can get to Mitsuwa on Long Island without having to drive to New Jersey. It is conveniently located about 3 miles away from the LIE and their parking lot is small so get here early to avoid crowds especially on the weekends. The supermarket is very compact so they stock the main necessities with (mostly) everything authentically imported from Japan as well as other grocery items. They also have Japanese beer, cosmetics, skincare products, desserts, prepared foods, pastries and more. You actually feel like you're in Japan and I can say this since we made the trip there last summer. The cashier (Maggie) was actually speaking Japanese and she was beyond friendly when it comes to customer service. Prices are very reasonable, some things even cheaper than Hmart. Their spicy tuna onigiri and spam & egg musubi were really good. If you're looking for hard to find authentic Japanese products or just a Japanese market in the area (this is one of the bigger ones), check Hanamaru out and try TeiNei Ya Ramen too- in the back of the store with limited seating. read more

What a gem. Even without the embedded restaurant, which only adds to the store's appeal, this is clearly a legit Japanese vendor that I wish we had closer to home. They don't have a massive shop space, but they seem to have made a clever use of it and the place feels like a delightful maze of Japanese goodies, from sandwiches and mochis to dry goods and frozen snacks, and a whole lot of other things in between. Their inari was delicious and I couldn't get enough of them, and I lament the fact that they haven't (yet) expanded their business to upstate. We're waiting patiently! read more

Nice small Asian Marker with an even smaller restaurant area in the back. They did have items that we were looking for so that was a plus. Lot of bakery items and sushi. Parking was a little tight but it was a private parking lot. read more

What a find! I was craving a Japanese beef bowl so I googled one near my location at the time. I did notice it was a market but the reviews were promising. I am I have this place a chance. It is a very small mini mart tucked away so much so that if you blink you'll miss it. It has outdoor seating and plenty of parking. Inside when you walk in are merchandise to purchase. In the back however is where you order your food to go or to stay. I ordered a beef bowl and an original Ramen soup with beef and seasoned egg for lunch tomorrow. The beef bowl was absolutely delicious. I know I'll return to this little gem when I am nearby again. I haven't tried the Ramen yet but if the beef bowl is any indication, I am sure I'll be just as happy with it. I purchased some snacks as well. A Japanese butter cookie that just melted in my mouth. Its buttery flavour left me wanting more. The staff were so very nice and attentive. So glad I visited. read more

Please be sure to follow CDC guidelines in regards to COVID and please do not visit restaurants if you or someone in your party does not feel well. I was surprised to find such an amazing Japanese grocery store in the middle of LI but I'm so glad I did. Let's start at the beginning. I was craving onigiri and was going insane trying to find some when I stumbled across this place. Naturally, I got a ton of onigiri and some other delicious snacks, like takoyaki, pork buns, and crispy squid tentacles. There were so many different onigiri to choose from. We ended up getting Roasted Pork, Bonito, Salmon, Spicy Tuna, Shrimp Tempura, Kombu, and Ume. I loved all of them but my favorites were between Roasted Pork and Shrimp Tempura. The onigiri was really great, and I would say a strong 8/10. The Takoyaki was so fresh and just wow! The octopus wasn't too chewy and there was (thankfully) no fishy smell or taste. I enjoyed it so much and would say it's a 9/10 but only because I wish it were bigger Hands down the Pork Buns were my favorite. The pork was tender and well marinated, and just made me want to weep from happiness as I ate it. A definite 10/10 for me. A close second was the Crispy Squid Tentacles. I'm a very picky person with my squid so I was beyond thrilled that this was so good! The squid wasn't too chewy and its preparation was just incredible. This was a solid 10/10 for me! Other goodies included milk tea, red bean jelly, chocolate bun, Moshi sparkling drink, and frozen curry buns. The store itself isn't too big but there are a ton of products available. Everything seemed well stocked and the store is very clean and pretty organized. Overall, this was a really great Mom and Pop store that has a great selection of Asian products and a yummy food menu for after grocery shopping. read more

Fantastic place for Japanese favorites. Plenty of options, people at the front were very friendly and the whole store has such a sweet and nice vibe. Will be back for more snacks. read more

Went there yesterday for sushi/sashimi and found the prices are higher than a regular sushi restaurant. The sashimi box was $35 a year ago and now it's $55 for the same box. Rolls as well. Everything in the store had price hike. I left not getting anything and will not go back. read more

I don't think there are many Japanese markets in Long island. I secretly hoped that this place would be similar to Mitsuwa in size and with their food court offerings. I was hugely disappointed when I found out it's no bigger than my local 7-11. This store is pretty small, and their food court takes up half that space. I wouldn't really call it a food court either as they only have 1 option and that's Teinei Ya Ramen. The food is pretty decent but nothing mindblowing. The staff seems nice though but I found the prices were slightly higher than what I usually see in Queens. They do have a small area for kids to play/read (shoes off) in the food court area and I think that's brilliant. Overall 3.5/5 - would stop by if in the area, but not worth going out of your way to visit. read more

Small Japanese Shops that sell some Japanese goods and some Japanese groceries along with small sake shops. Foods that they sell in the grocery store is amazing. The sake is well priced. Now I come here at least once a month. read more

A real authentic taste of Japan, offering things that you will not find at your local sushi joint. It's small and packed, with aisles of Japanese packaged foods. The real stars are the onigiri, both fresh (I sampled the spicy tuna, plum and tuna & mayo) and fried, and the Japanese curry dishes. I had the excellent chicken katsu curry, my son got the pork katsu curry, which was even better. My wife's mushroom ramen was good too. Think Japanese "soul food." We shared some fried squid tentacles which were DELICIOUS. Also stocked up on a few cool Japanese beers, some desserts, etc. read more

I get excited over Asian markets on the island because they're so rare! Found Hanamaru on Yelp and have been meaning to check it out. Albeit a bit small, it has many Japanese pantry staples with friendly staff. There's also Teinei Ya towards the back of the store, where you can order and enjoy fresh ramen right at the spot. Prices are fairly decent and I came across Japanese items that were cheaper than my local Chinese supermarket. We also picked up some onigiri and fried rice from the front counter ... $2.50 each for the onigiri and $5 for the fried rice. Perfect food for the ride back home. Cant get any better! read more

I came here after a suggestion from my friend about a Ramen place in a Japanese market...driving up to it it's hard to find which I kind of liked. You drive up this hilly driveway to find it in the back of a parking lot off of Jericho turnpike I saw Asian people pulling up and take out drivers which is a good sign. I walked in to all these Japanese products. I went to the back counter where you could see in my picture. I order the most people ramen in pork broth and the spicy ramen which were good but the broth was only half full which was odd I don't think I spilled it and made it a noodle dish more then a soup also I didn't like the pickled ginger in it but otherwise a good solid ramen. My favorite was the chicken cutlet premade sandwiches at the counter with their homemade cole slaw. read more

A hidden gem in syosset! It's a small Japanese market stocked with authentic snacks. There's also plenty of cold and hot food options. Their onigiri is excellent! It's prepackaged in a way that keeps the seaweed fresh and crispy. I really enjoyed the salmon onigiri. In terms of hot foods, their chicken meal was some of the best chicken I've ever had. It was perfectly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Well seasoned. There were plenty of sides included with the main. Their side salad has a really delicious dressing that I wish I could bottle up and use at home. And the miso soup hit the spot too. I haven't tried their chirashi yet. Certain sashimi dishes need to be ordered in advance. Will certainly be back for more! read more

Cozy place with awesome Ramen and Katsu bowls. Usually only get take out but dining in was great as everything was fresh and staff was so friendly. read more

Man this place is a little hidden gem. When I say hidden I mean it. It shares a parking lot with a bank in the front. You would never think there is a little Japanese market in the back. Even when pulling into the parking lot it's like you think you are going to the bank. Once inside the small little shop has lots of Japanese imported items. Snacks and drinks galore. So many things packed away in this place. They also have a little ramen shop in the back with great food. Been here a bunch of times now and keep going. There is so many goodies to get. Things that while in Japan can only find. Everything is very neatly placed and easy to find. Everything has a price so it makes it easy to shop. Prices are actually very fair and some prices better then other places I have been. I wish covid would just end and go away so I can sit down and eat ramen. Never the same getting it to go. If around the area or not give it a try. I drive 30 mins to come here. read more

I love this little ramen spot! The "Plus" is my favorite as the broth is thicker. Whenever I come this place is packed which is challenging for seating BUT that is a good sign. And after in done eating I shop for Japanese treats in the grocery store. This place is a win win. read more

A perfect authentic Japanese market hidden in Syosset! Unless Mitsuwa Market decides to open up a Long Island location, Hanamaru doesn't really have any competition in terms of authentic Japanese markets on Long Island. The market is small, but they have a great selection of specialty Japanese food market items. I love the daily onigiri and musubi! They even offer special orders of things like uni, if you inquire with the owner. As a (half) Japanese American now living in LI, I am grateful for this market and don't know what I would do without it! read more

Yes! my first time there a good quick stop for snacks and ramen, $10 minimum for card but my total was under that. The cashier was so kind and let it slide. I will be back read more

If you're looking for your basic japanese ingredients, food and snacks, then this is the place for you. It's a tiny mart with just the essentials. Prices aren't the most expensive, but they aren't the cheapest. If you're in the area, it's better than going all the way to H Mart. The big plus is the food court in the back! They have ramen and rice bowls. I came when they first opened (the second day) and the ramen was alright. It's a big expensive, portions are on the smaller side and it was just okay. Not the worst, not the best. I'm sticking with 4 stars for now since they just opened and i'll give them some time to work out the kinks. Fingers crossed the ramen gets better! read more

Great addition to the area. They have a wonderful little eating area in the back of the store with yummy ramen and takoyaki balls. My son also loved their fried chicken. I hope they get enough foot traffic though because they're in the back of a real estate office and next to an under construction spot so the place can easily be missed. They're right across the street from Home Depot. I got the ramen and was disappointed at first because I thought they forgot my broth, but the broth was underneath the noodles and meat and were just separated with the plastic lid and I didn't realize it for a minute or so. So just a heads up if you're getting ramen to go from here for the first time. Lol! read more

This place is great if you are looking for some Japanese products. They sell some Japanese products that you normally wouldn't find at any regular Asian supermarket. Great price! Definitely worth visiting. The ramen place that's inside here is also worth trying. read more
