    cheese cake

    MamMoth Bakery is the best bakery shop and best customer service in LA! Not only their bakery taste amazing but my atopic won't react with them. Their customer service are amazing and make me happy and feel warm every time I visit. True customer service and omotenashi,

    Located inside Tokyo Central market on the right as you walk into the store. Very tiny shop offering Japanese sandwiches, buns, pastry, and I think cake (shown on their website). Though my interactions at the shop were brief, I was assisted by a very sweet lady at the register. My order: Cod roe bread ( French bread smeared with roe. Light and flavorful) Cod roe with shrimp bread (Tons of flavor in every bite) Walnut bread slice (Light and fluffy) Everything was yummy! It was reminiscent to my old favorite Clover Bakery, located up in the bay area. Must go back and try other goodies. What you need to know: - Located inside of Tokyo Central Market - No outside food is allowed inside the market but you can hold it to enter the mini food court section - Parking is ample inside a plaza - Gets busy during peak hours - They have a bread slicer - You can order a cake from their website.

    $3.50 chicken sandwich
    Pete S.

    4.5 stars. Got 2 items here since I came here around 5pm Curry pan-Not as good as Curry House..but then again, it wasn't fried to order. The batter was a bit thick and it wasn't at all spicy.However, it was good enough that I finished it all. Chicken Sandwich-Really delicious. Breaded chicken with tomato and shredded cabbage on white chewy bread with sweet bbq like sauce. Can find this at the refrigerator. http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/YdO78cC88f7rp1XLNxWc_Q/l Will be back for the sandwiches when I go on my trips to San Diego!

    Black sesame custard $3.39
    Yonnie C.

    We ordered a small item (black sesame custard) for $3.39. According to yelp reviews, this bakery is suppose to be a hit! We'll find out soon. It's located inside the Murakai Supermarket.

    Stopped by here with my husband last Saturday to feed my sweet tooth. This bakery is located in the Marukai Market (in the Pacific Square Plaza), so it is easy to find and there is plenty of parking. Anyways, we ended up purchasing a few things like the honey thick toast, Madeline cookies, curry pork pastry & a cinnamon donut looking pastry (not sure of the exact names of these baked goods). My husband and I shared a few bites of the thick honey toast after we purchased it and it was delicious, but very carb filling! I loved the little Madeline cookies and were moist even a few days after purchasing. My husband liked his curry pastry (he ate it after a few days after purchasing and he said it wasn't dry). The cinnamon pastry wasn't anything special to me and a little dry (that could possibly be due to the fact that I ate it a few days after purchasing). This pastry reminded me of a donut since it was round with a hole in the middle. But I think this pastry was baked instead of deep fried. I think I would have preferred a cinnamon cream filling instead of this pastry rolled or coated in cinnamon. I can see why this place has an overall rating of 4.5 stars (at the time of this review). I will be sure to come back here the next time I am in the area for sure. By the way, there is a $5 minimum for credit card transactions. You can also purchase shaved ice here, which I haven't tried yet but will the next time I come.

    Bread selections

    I didn't like there bread that much. The service was nice. Friendly. The price is on the higher price especially for its quality. But I won't be going there again.

    Green tea shave ice special $3.75
    Santi T.

    A bakery with green tea shave ice?!? Would you believe yes?!? We came to this location in the Marukai Shopping Center on a very hot October day to order the green tea shave ice special ($3.75) and were very pleased with the strong Japanese matcha flavor covered condensed milk. This reminded me of the cripsy ice flakes instead of the fluffy Hawaiian shave ice. The only bummer was they ran out of green tea ice cream that accompanied with the special. Unfortunately, I did not purchase any baked goods but they looked incredibly delicious! They have an onsite bakery which carries breads, desserts and pastries. Maybe on my next visit I'll make time and carb up here.

    Ham & Cheese Baquette Sandwich

    A year ago, when I entered the Pacific Square market, right at the entrance to the food aisles sit a display rack of Cream Pan baked goods. Back when Cream Pan was all the rage from our neighbors in the south. It was a bit embarrassing because the display was right across from MamMoth Bakery. A punch in the gut would have been better than this insult what the supermarket put them through. A year later with much better sense of taste buds and a bit more keen eye, I decided to go back to the same place again. The bakery got accustomed to people walking about and just gawked at baked goods. It doesn't seemed like the people who worked there will helped you right away unless you stood at their counter long enough. After you get through the notion of waiting to be waited upon, the staff will assist in what you needed. There seemed to be a lot of European influenced with a bit of Japanese recipe. Especially with the enriched white bread with fruit pastries on top. Just looking at these pastries makes you wondered where have they been http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/K4PCQ7eMG4jdA9uKcEYbig?select=oLKpbsVkUaMmEk_wO4ssCg . My favorite is the croquette sandwich: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/K4PCQ7eMG4jdA9uKcEYbig?select=Qf7ZqEXHm8Ki6qSN5r07JA A nice pork cutlet sandwich wrapped in the enriched white bread I was talking about and go along with the fresh lettuce and tomato. if there is ever a thing that would hit the spot, this would do it. There is just so many different things to try. I had a feeling they had something new cooked up every single time. To me, I think the non-sweet pastries are the ones that are popular at this place with their baked loaf of bread. As in for Cream Pan, they pretty much disappeared and banished to the other corners that is far from this place. Personally, I think it's done so because it's conflct of interest. Then again, not quite sure why they don't put out Cream Pan stuffs. Oh, don't confuse this place with Beard Papa. As much I loved the old bearded Santa elf, it's not as popular in this quasi food court as the small bakery that can do. You can't missed the bakery since it's on the east end entrance. ---------------- CASH Only with ATM right in walking distance.

    Premier find for excellent Japanese cuisine. My girlfriend and I came here for an early Saturday…read moredinner after a day on the water in Long Beach. When we arrived luckily there was no wait and were sat immediately. Luckily it was only a couple moments before a party of maybe 12 arrived behind us for dinner. Our host and server were helpful and efficient. We quickly scanned through their menu and decided on their combos (pork cutlet and tempura) Our trays of paradise quickly arrived and looked beautiful! ( see attached for reference ) i loved the balanced presentation and blend of flavors. Each tray had some miso, a 4 bite California roll, some rice, soba noodles, broth, wasabi and ginger. Mine came with some dipping sauce for the tempura. Considering the amount of food I was very satisfied. The tempura was gorgeously crafted with semi thin crisped batter, and a decent amount portioned. I was mostly amazed by my girlfriends pork plate. Their crisp cutlet had beautifully made with an easy crunchy exterior and soft tender pork savory to taste. All elements complimented each other perfectly. Their soba was also good quality and a nice touch to an already balanced dinner. While I was exactly stuffed after dinner, i was still impressed with their entree presentation, quality of food, calming ambiance and great service.

When we arrived for lunch, the place was quite festive with a mixture of young people, families with kids, and an ongoing lunch party with senior ladies. Luckily, we were able to get the last table, and the friendly waiter brought the water and menus right away. After browsing through their menu, we ordered the following items: Special Fish Combo (Spanish Mackerel): The Spanish mackerel was nicely grilled but lightly seasoned. It had quite a few bones, which took a little bit out of the enjoyment of the meal. The udon noodles had a very nice texture, however the broth was on the bland side. The California rolls were well made and flavorful. Tempura Combo: The shrimps were tender, however, the battered outer layer of the tempura was a tad thick and not quite airy. Like Fish Combo, the udon had a bland broth, and the California rolls were fine. Our main issue was the 50-minute wait time for the meals. As a courtesy, the restaurant definitely should have informed us about the delay.

With so many options, it was honestly a little overwhelming to choose. I decided to keep things simple and ordered the sashimi and broiled mackerel fish set, which came with rice, miso soup, cabbage salad, and macaroni salad. My husband couldn't settle on just one dish, so he went all out with a chicken oyakodon, grilled salmon, steamed eggplant, and a stir-fried chicken and bean sprout dish. The restaurant itself is narrow and deep, which actually reminded me of some of the small alleyway restaurants we visited during our travels in Japan. It added to the cozy and authentic feel. The service was attentive, especially when we requested a few extra items. One thing that really stood out was their ponzu sauce. It seemed to include green onions and perhaps a touch of vinegar, and it was absolutely delicious. It paired perfectly with the sashimi, steamed eggplant, and even the chicken dishes. Next time, I'm definitely going to spend some time studying the menu beforehand. The portions were generous enough that we had leftovers for another meal, and we were lucky enough to find parking right in front of the restaurant.
