J Mart

J Mart is a small Japanese mini mart that offers sauces, seasonings, ready-to-eat packets, fresh and frozen ingredients, rice cookers, assorted candy, various gift items, and sake.The place is small and cute, and I enjoyed checking out their huge tub of Japanese curry, their frozen croquettes, and their aesthetically-pleasing bottles of sake.We bought a couple of snacks to try out; we noticed that even though this wasn't a chain or anything the prices were actually comparable, if not slightly cheaper!I'd love to see more of a selection of candies and snacks, though, as I know there are some awesome and more unique items that can be enjoyed! If they added some stationery/greeting cards, that would be so amazing, as I'm a huge collector of these things!The employee in there was so welcoming and friendly, and allowed patrons to peruse with no hassle.Plenty of parking in the plaza lot.+sake+Japanese grocery items+friendly staff+parking in shared plaza lot

Great selection of difficult to find Japanese grocery items! Cute and Friendly proprietor!

i love this place! this is the only place that sells baked goods similar to shilla's bakery (in nova)-- and it's delicious! i am always greeted by the cashier and they are so friendly! i reached out on instagram asking if they had any milk bread, and the employee was kind enough as to save me a packaged loaf!! i picked it up the next day :)) overall i highly recommend this place 100/100

Cute, little Japanese store. Doesn't have a huge selection, but definitely a good selection. They have frozen foods, deserts, condiments, snacks, sweets, drinks and miscellaneous kitchen items.

This is a cozy Japanese food shop. I stop by once in while since I can find always interesting things and products you cannot find in Ichiban Japanese Market. Sometimes price is set little bid higher than Ichiban, but you can have you cannot find things at Ichiban you can find here.

It's a really, really, small grocery store, and maybe this review is biased a little since my friend's family owns it, but it really is nice!I mainly go here for the baked goods, which they get from Bread Garden in newport news (a korean bakery). If they have it, buy the korean cheesecake, soooooooo good. It's not like an american cheesecake, or a french cheesecake, or even a japanese cheesecake. It really is it's own category, like if a pound cake and a sponge cake had a baby, and then that baby had a baby with a cheesecake. BOOM, there's my baby, my korean cheesecake baby.Okay, besides that.They'll have little cookies, buns, and sometimes sushi to go, and it's fresh (unlike these giant super international/asian marts, where it gets stale and bleck).They have noodles, curry, seasonings, and a nice assortment of japanese snacks you won't find in other stores around here (not even Ichiban near lynnhaven, but I like them too =] ).They got a little fridge for drinks, so it's nice and chilled too.They got bigger fridges full of ingredients to be cooked, or ready to cook items. They also got a nice selection of rice.You can get a good look at their store on their website (jmartjmart.com) or I'll upload some later!If you're interested in japanese food, gooooooooooo~ if you're lost, whoever's working will help you just fine. Except I don't know about Jesse he's quiet and looks mean, go for his twin Sandy~ :)**edit: Jesse is nice too.

This is is very small, like the size of a guest bedroom. I came here specifically for seaweed salad. I spent a lot considering how small the container was, I think I spent around $9. It lasted me about 3 days since I like to eat it with main dishes however I thought the store itself was nice, it was pretty pricey though and hope their getting enough business.

Great little grocery store in central Virginia Beach! It's in a little shopping center right off of Va Beach Blvd and Aragona, easy to find/get to and a good amount of parking. As other reviewers have said, it IS small. But the great thing is, they've managed to pack a whole lot into the small space, so you'll be able to find a lot of things you may be looking for.I personally wasn't looking for anything specific, just went to browse around. They have refrigerated and freezers on the right side (with gyoza, frozen seafood, frozen apps), condiments and sauces towards the back, dishware and non-food related things on the left wall. more things in the middle (chopsticks, household items). They have several types of boxed curry roux in the back, which I was really happy to find (Java curry and Vermont curry as well as the Golden curry). Kewpie mayo, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, etc. They have a few snacks on the left side of the wall and plenty of drinks in the refrigerated case up front and near the cash register. They also have desserts like matcha ice cream, mochi ice cream and some dessert breads in their coolers.Overall, a great little store, if you need to pop in real quick to pick up some Japanese ingredients. The employees/owners are really nice and polite. Great service, great location, great selection of items. Would definitely recommend~!

Although J Mart is small in size, it didn't feel cramped. It had the things I needed on my list and good selections (to include fresh wasabi and frozen kamaboko). Although some items were expensive, most of their items are comparable to other stores. The items that were a bit more pricey were specific brands of products (sesame oil and other sauces) that I haven't found in other stores. Location was easy to find and there is a good amount of parking in front of the store. The cashier was friendly and answered questions that I had. I do plan on giving this place more of my business.

A very small shop, but they have a great selection and variety of Japanese groceries. Snacks, pastries, drinks, frozen foods - everything is so good! The owner is incredibly kind, friendly and helpful! If you're looking for some Japanese groceries, snacks, or drinks, definitely stop here and check it out!
