They have a variety of things, food, drinks, sushi, snacks, cosmetics, toys. There were also SO many small toy vending machines. It was very cool to see so many options. There was also a cafe and restaurant in the back. The cafe was popping and the line was long for their matcha. The restaurant was actually such a LET DOWN. I was expecting authentic Japanese food, but the portions were small and the meals were pricer $15+ and not that special. Beef udon: regular and I could've made it at home Beef rice bowl: their top pick, the beef was not tender, and it was dry. Really simple but not good. Oddly enough, they had the tiniest water cup that you can pour for yourself. It was like 2 gulps. I also tried some drinks. They have an assortment of Moshi brand drinks in a can. They are expensive, but so so good. The strawberry matcha was my FAV. We also tried their milk coffee in a can, it tastes like what you'd expect from coffee in a can.

There's a whole refrigerated area for ready-to-eat food like onigiri and katsu, along with a bakery, cafe, and a small food court area. My friend and I stopped by for lunch earlier this week. The markup is kind of crazy for cafeteria food, but he was really missing Japanese food from his recent travels. There's a variety to order from, and the food was served quickly after ordering. UNI IKURA RICE BOWL - 29.99 This was one of the current specials, and I love uni so I couldn't resist. There wasn't a whole lot of uni or ikura (half of the bowl was more so decoration items like sprouts, ginger, a whole leaf, and wasabi) with lots of rice underneath. The rice was the perfect texture, and after seasoning it a bit with some soy sauce, it was just right. The uni wasn't the most fresh, but the ikura was decent. Overall, good, but just not worth the price for what you get. My friend got a tonkatsu curry rice, a croquette appetizer, and a slice of cream roll cake for $5 less than how much I spent on my single uni ikura rice bowl. The tonkatsu curry rice was quite good, and only $14.98, which is really good for today's economy. If I'm ever back for the food, I'll definitely get the tonkatsu.

The khinkali or Georgian dumpling, filled with cheese and accompanied by a delightful hot sauce, was scrumptious! We would have also tried beef, but they had run out by the time we got there that evening. My friend and I also enjoyed the cabbage salad and beef-filled samsa or croissant-like pastry. We also sampled baklava, and that was one of the best baklava I've ever had! The honey cake was good but not my favorite; I'd like to try again another day. Besides the delicious and hearty fare, we also enjoyed the sweet and helpful service and cozy atmosphere.

Service was amazing- greeted promptly and maybe they knew I didn't visit often as they asked if they could help with anything. They walked me through some menu items, let me know I could carry out or dine in for an extra charge, and let me peruse at my pace. The space was clean, with a couple of tables to sit down and enjoy a hot entree or nibble if you wanted. I almost plopped down to dig into my desserts but had to exercise self control. I will definitely be back to try more items.

Unfortunately, our second visit confirmed it. We bought a large amount of desserts for a party, and all of them were stale and dry. I am not sure if they are stored improperly or simply old, but the quality was very disappointing.

Gone (or under repair) is the wet market. No fish in tanks, no turtles swimming around and no clams or crabs over ice. Honestly, the place smelled better. However, was the restaurant with the roasted meals and Chinese entrees still there? Yes! $8.49 for a meal of rice and 2 sides (1 veggie + 2 meat choices), plus a soup. I added a ginormous sesame ball (filled w red bean paste. I was hoping for lotus but yeah for price of $1.99 not happening). Total of $11.11. What did I get? Beef tendon with radish (mostly if not all radish and chuck). I'd pass. Eggplant. Yep, I'll get again. Pork patty. Yep, I'll get again. A soup came with the meal. It was tomato. It was OK. So, will I come back again for a box lunch and sesame ball? Yep, I totally will!
