Seiwa Market Japanese Grocery

Before you head out to any other Japanese markets, stop by at this lovely market since they pretty much have all Japanese products and the price is more reasonable. The store may not be fancy but it is very practical shopping here. From fresh produce to beautiful Made in Japan dishes, you will feel like you're in Japan. Everything is displayed neatly and nicely, which is easy to find and the products are cleaned and packed well. Colorful bottle of beverages and various frozen sweets are so attractive that it is hard not to pick one up. The staff are diligently either restocking or organizing so it is great seeing the store is well kept. At the check-out, the casher was friendly and the other staff was quick on bagging the products that I purchased.

I have to thank Les S. for his review on Seiwa Market in Costa Mesa. They are a small Japanese grocery store that took over a Fresh and Easy location, conveniently off the 405 at Harbor. Easy parking lot, not too crowded. Super friendly nice staff.I specifically came here because Les S. mentioned a good deal for their sliced meat for DIY hot pot/shabu shabu. On the day of my visit, there was a deal for $14.99 American Wagyu Chuck Roll. Significantly cheaper than other markets on sliced meats. I also got some sliced angus beef and sliced pork while I was in the meat area. There was staff refilling the meats and he was super friendly and nice. Ohh and 20% off meats on Fridays!They also had pre-cut Kabocha Squash for $1.99/lb. Wow I loveeee the kabocha squash but I dread cutting it. It's like a vigorous work out cause this squash has a thick skin and I struggle each time. I was sooooo happy it was pre-cut so I can eat to my heart's delight. I also saw the Akai Kitsune Udon noodles on sale for $2.99 so I got a few of those too. All of the ingredients were delicious for our New Years Eve DIY hot pot feast at home. Very quality :) A small market with good deals. As Les S. mentioned there are some items that go for about average pricing, but they have some killer deals. I especially love how their staff was so nice. As I was browsing around they were friendly and welcoming, and as I checked out they were courteous and helpful. Feels like a community around here. I will definitely be coming back now that I know about this gem.

This place took over the former Fresh & Easy location, which is fitting given it's suppose to be a bargain Japanese supermarket. However, not everything is a good deal. Some items are a bargain, but other items are actually cheaper at regular supermarkets. I think it has good price on shabu shabu meat, which is the main reason I come here, but most of them have very short expiration date. They even sell some items that are few days past expiration date. Selection isn't that great either, but it's well-organized and clean. Its packaged sushi and poke bowls are actually quite decent for a supermarket. I like its jumbo scallop and salmon sushi.

I am not close to this market at all. However, I don't mind driving here when i wanna hotpot or grill some meats. I like coming here because they have such great deals on meats and uni. Good quality meats! Their sushi and sashimi can be pretty fresh as well. I also enjoy browsing the snacks sections. Pretty good deals on certain items. Definitely will return again and again. Great staffsParking availProvide free ice for meats and sushi

When I need something from the Japanese markets, Seiwa is usually my go to. They are a warehouse type market so I usually find the best prices here overall. They also have an aisle with house hold items for sale! Asides from food. My favorite thing about Seiwa is that they have 20% off meats on Fridays so I usually come and stock up. If you forget your cooler or are traveling quite a ways and making other stops, don't fret! They have ice and bags at the front to pack the ice as well as boxes to keep your items cold for the long journey.

Do you want to avoid the chaotic energy and crowd that Tokyo Central and Mitsuwa has? Are you just wanting to get Japanese grocery items and not want food court or hot food bar? You have come to the right place! I love going to Seiwa Market over the above mentioned Japanese grocery stores for a few reasons. The aisles are vertically set up and widely spaced apart. It's not crowded in the store and the lines are short and efficient. I don't get lost or frustrated going around the store looking for something. It's really quite nice how calming the atmosphere is. The store associates are eager to help and everything is neat and organized inside. I appreciate how inexpensive the meat prices are. I made heaps of hayashi rice recently by getting ingredients all from Seiwa. I basically spent less than $15 for 10-12 servings worth of meal, meat price included. They have 20% off meat prices every Friday. Crazy knowing their regular meat prices are already very inexpensive. The store also offers some of the Cream Pan bakery items. I can't recommend Seiwa enough!

Seiwa is becoming my favorite Japanese market!You can find all sorts of good items ! Get ingredients for shabu, curry, or other meal ideas. I like that they have Cream Pan breads near the front of the store to conveniently put in your basket. After 5, they also have discounted sushi and rolls.

This is my go to Asian market! Wide aisles and clean. Good inventory. Excellent and friendly customer service. Easy to find parking unlike the other store down to street.

This small market is a gem ! Best produce and fresh food was always amazingly delicious and reasonable pricing compared to other Japanese markets.

Very happy to have found this little gem in Costa Mesa! I was searching for a specific Japanese snack and they had it! It was so great and I found out they carry other flavors imported from Japan. I also bought some other snacks that so far have turned out great (wasabi-flavored sesame sticks)! The place was very clean and the lady who rung me up was very knowledgeable about the products and store history. I think she said they had been there about 6 years which I was impressed to hear! They had such a wide variety at the store and I'd love to go back and try some other snacks, venture over to the desserts and then maybe try my hand at cooking some of their unique meats/seafood!10/10 recommend!
