    Shishito shrimp don $10.49 so delicious
    Stacey-Ann M.

    I stopped by this market on my way to the train station the other day. It's a cute market with Japanese grocery items but I was pleasantly surprised by the hot food items as well. At first I was going to purchase a few onigiri but then I s aw the Shishito shrimp don bowl and it looked so delicious I had to get it. Glad I did because when I went home and dived in it was so good. All the little flavors went so well together. I can't wait to stop by again and try some of their other dishes.

    The market was nice and cozy small business owner vibe. Was looking forward to coming here for 50% off during evenings (after 7pm I believe) and expected a huge crowd and no more selection but surprisingly not many people. I sadly didn't see anything appealing but I really wanted to try something so I got a bunch of onigiris, mostly shrimp tempura, eel avocado, and pork belly. I really regret buying them as the onigiris without any sauce like tempura and pork belly immediately fell apart. The wrapping didn't unravel the way it usually does and the rice doesn't stick together like it usually does either. Either way they seemed reallllly un fresh like more than days old. Even when I buy onigiris and save them for 2 days later they never come out looking like this. So surprised at this poor execution. Taste wasn't any better either for any of the onigiri I bought. Microwaving it helped it be better in terms of the rice not being as hard but still really hard. I would not get this again or recommend getting this. The rest of the shop seemed fine though, there were sales and samples of good assortment of goodies!

    It was a catastrophe. My Grandson was completely out of his Koikeya Karamucho Super Hot Strong Chili Chips. We had already planned a nostalgia drive past all my old favorites. The Smith Street location of Ten Ichi Mart in Boerum Hill was right on my planned drive up Smith to Downtown Brooklyn then back down Court. My family had already told me what a great market Ten Ichi was. So I was prepared for an experience. After street parking a few blocks up Smith, we entered a nice storefront with friendly personnel. The store was clean & inviting. My Grandson immediately began filling up the handheld basket with his favorites, some of which I had never heard of before. He ate the Spam Musabi the moment we got home. My perusal of the store was much slower & detailed. I was intrigued by a Japanese Ginger & Honey bag of candies billed by the store on their poster as good for coughs & scratchy throats. This sounded great after my post Thanksgiving upper respiratory bout. Into the basket went a bag of the candies. The Pocar Sweat is an electrolyte energy drink that has a very light yummy taste. It's also offered in powders that can be mixed with water. My favorite find was an item I planned to eat on the return trip to Virginia. It was a Baked Wheat Cake filled with Red Bean Paste (Koshi Ann). I've always liked goodies with Red Bean Paste. But this was absolutely amazing!! The cake was very light & fresh. It was even lighter, with a better consistency, than Angel Food Cake. I can't believe I bought only one. More are needed immediately!! :) Ten Ichi Mart is a terrific International Market, 5 stars without a doubt.

    On a casual walk I discovered this small yet well stocked market. They have tons of delicious treats that are imported with great quality. They also have an array of cold and hot prepared meals that are convenient to grab for lunch. The staff is also very helpful and knowledgeable about certain products that I'm not familiar with. This is one of my favorite spots to grab lunch in the area.

    Everything you want and need in a tiny shop. Something quick to stave off the annoying in-between meals hunger? Check. A light meal for the 30 minute lunch break? Check. The bag of bamboo shoots you grew up on but you haven't been able to buy since you've moved into this gentrified neighborhood? Check check check! And, of course, a plethora of beverages for your fickle throat.

    This discovery is not to be missed. After discovering the store, we keep going back for more. They have the best of everything Japanese made, including food and products from Japan. Everything is fresh, no matter what time you come in. We bought many different bento boxes, rice balls, cakes, snacks, and drinks. Their cooked food is fantastic too. The staffers at the counter are so helpful and I always like how they handle the food and groceries their customers buy. They know how to pack it well. They're the best at packing to ensure nothing spills or moves around in a bag. The market is so organized and clean! Step in and maintain it as the owner and staff members maintain it. Enjoy!

    Salmon teriyaki plate , and shrimp Shumai
    Walter T.

    Went here after 8pm when there hot and cold food is half price. I got a salmon teriyaki plate, w/ broccoli, rice and onions. ($5.25) It's wasn't hot but still tasty enough to eat. I also got a shrimp shumai ($3.50) as an appetizer to start . Again there not as hot nor do I know what time they have been made . There's no tables here so you're getting it to go. It's also a Japanese.deli so there are plenty of options to get here ! . But there have plenty more options like sushi too for half price here . I would be back after 8 pm in this area of Brooklyn

    Very minimal filling.

    The half price mark down after 7PM is amazing but I warn you DO NOT GET AN ONIGIRI. Half priced or not the onigiri is a complete rip off unless you just enjoy rice with a hint of filling. Yes, it's less than $2 when it is half off but with the amount of filling that is actually inside of their onigiris- you might as well eat a bowl of rice with some dried seaweed on the side. The filling that was in the onigiri probably took up less than 10% of the entire piece. I was eating rice with a hint of spicy salmon with each bite. Had I known this, I would not even buy it despite being half priced. Do yourself a favor and just buy some white rice and add some soy sauce to it. It would have more flavor and substance than the minuscule amount of filling that they provide in the onigiris.

    I absolutely love coming here. There is a large selection of Japanese imports to choose from with snacks to ramen, etc. it's kinda small but the place is usually clean and the food they serve is really good. It just sucks I can't eat some of their sushi due to my allergies. The cashiers are always nice as well. Make sure you get there for 8 pm for 50% off hot food, you can't beat that in New York!

    Great selection of sushi and onigiri
    Bonnie N.

    Came here for a quick lunch as they have so many sushi, onigiri and hot food options. They even have sashimi and sides here. Everything looks very fresh and is reasonably priced. If I lived around here I would probably frequent Ten Ichi a lot as they also have fresh produce, lots of snacks, sauces, noodles. Very interesting drink options too. A small shop but they are able to pack a lot in the small space. There is also the Ten Ichi gift shop next door which we accidentally stepped into at first. Great neighborhood market! The only thing is there are no tables out front to eat your food but this mart is more of a grab and go type of place. Service at checkout was very friendly. They take cash and card. Enjoy!

    I am only reviewing the take out food options for this market. There's a fair amount of sushi, onigri, hot rice bowls, salads and buns to take to go. It's all reasonably priced and the portions are fair but there's a few things holding me back from giving a 4 star rating. It's more of a 3.5. Fish is fresh but smaller portions which is reflective of the affordable pricing (it's around 6 dollars for one roll). However the rice in both the sushi and onigiri bowls is not flavored.... it's not true sushi rice. There's no vinegar or any hint of flavoring with the rice so that makes it bland, esp the onigiri. I think they skip that step so they can mass produce their take out options. But it is was disappointing to bite into an onigiri and it missing umami cuz it's just unflavored fresh fish and rice. The workers keep to themselves and are efficient. Credit cards are only for min 8 dollar purchase. Anything outside of the take out food options is pricier so I would just stick to this if you want quick utilitarian sushi snack.

    The container gives about two portions worth. Here is mine and my sister has other half
    Chrissy M.

    Great food, helpful staff And very clean store almost OCD clean ! The fish is very fresh. They have a lot of fruit and frozen items as well. Very well priced for the area, especially

    Chirashi Plate and Ahi Tuna Plate.

    Expensive for no reason. If you want Japanese food and grocery, go to Japan Village in Sunset Park as they are cheaper and has more variety.

They had a few brands of Turkish coffee and I went for Cafe Najj with cardamom. Omg!! This coffee has changed my life! I was assisted by Hilda who I had a brief discussion with about coffee.

Yes, everything is everywhere. But they do have most of everything. This market sells specifically Levantine products (an Arabic region along the eastern bank of the Mediterranean Sea). To find something though, it is helpful to have something in mind and to ask the Syrian owner for it, usually you'll see him being quiet behind a counter (he's a nice man who has been holding his business through what seems to be generations) - as it can be mind-boggling to figure out where to look or find a product on your own. After all, it is an old-school Middle Eastern store from yesteryear and it'll even feel like a dusty old bookstore in a sense, where you might find a magical book that opens you into a fairytale world (but obviously not). They have olives, canned products, bottled products, nuts, - pretty much anything for your Middle Eastern journey in the kitchen. But yes, they have Middle Eastern sweets, in the back along the right side - mostly in the dessert case. You can also always ask for them.
