Really nice place. Service was perfect and respectful. Ambiance was right on target. Just like local market in Japan

Nice little Japanese bodega. It's tidy and nicely unkept, however the selection is a little lacking. Albeit the store itself is small, the majority of the items are dried foods, then some frozen snacks, and finally a small section of cutlery like teapots and cups. Nice for a small dip into the Japanese cuisine and the owner is friendly to do business.

Very clean and organized shop with all the essential Japanese cooking needs. We needed seaweed for sushi and was quite surprise with several selection. Also, we bought Vietnamese rice wrapper which I thought they would not carry. They primarily carry Japanese items hence Tokyo market. Plenty of snacks to choose from and I opted for the seaweed & salt chips...yum! There is small section of frozen items. Frozen sushi grade fish and calamari. I highly recommend this place for the quick Japanese cooking essentials.

Green tea & musk melon ice cream. Instant ramen everything. Bento boxes so cute you don't want to use them... Walking in here took me back to when I was in Japan, except I was in Yorktown, not Tokyo.Apart from the awesome Japanese food selection available, amongst the spices and sauces, you'll find kawaii charms, jewelry, candy, wasabi chips, matcha everything, comics, cookbooks, chopsticks, sake giftware, tea sets, ceramic pots &tea cups, Japanese incense, stationary, cards - the list really could go on!I love the ceremonial grade matcha from here - I'd much rather spend $10 for the real thing than half the size for $30 from Whole Foods...it's a no brainer guys! I urge you to visit this place if you haven't already and if Japan is one of the loves of your life.Exceptional fish for sale for you sushi sashimi fanatics, and the owner is more than happy to help and cater towards your needs. A more authentic selection than any superstore I've seen so far claiming they have authentic Japanese items.

If you're looking for Everything or Anything Japanese this is your store!! They had everything we were looking for and more from foods, sauces and candies to clothes, shoes and tea sets. They have a Cold bottled Peach Jasmine tea that is really good! The man running the store was so helpful and very kind, looking forward to our next visit.

A cute little shop that's worth the visit. It was managed by a gentleman when I visited and he was so friendly and helpful. There was a lady who came in while I was browsing and she was searching for a specific item and he went above and beyond to show her products she was describing. The store offers an array of all things Japanese related. From snacks, to all kinds of ramen and condiments and tea and cooking stuffs, they had it! Everything was neatly organized and was easy to look through things. The store is very small - like one file line through the isles to fit. I did find things to be a little bit more on the expensive side like the green tea I needed. For the price I paid I could have gotten double elsewhere but the quality is top notch. They offer some things I haven't been able to find in other Asian stores so I'm sure I'll be dropping by in the future.

Really cute little Asian market hidden between other businesses, a sweet little gem I found just by chance. Very nice staff! Cashier was nice and courteous, said hello and goodbye, and checked out my items quickly. A very sweet encounter.They have shopping baskets! A very nice touch to such a small store.Store is small but well organized- a lot of merchandise varying from food products to glassware, even origami papers and little snacks that are hard to find elsewhere. Rice, seasonings, curry packs, fish, kimchi, sweets, ice creams, drinks, chopsticks, little gifts for all the ones you love. It's got everything wrapped up in a little store.No noticeable loud music- if there was music, it was very quiet and ambient. This store has a relaxed environment. I didn't feel rushed by staff (only one visible staff member) to hurry up and get out or anything. Crowd rating: When first entering the store, there was one other customer already checking out. The whole time I was in there (for some 20 minutes) I was the only customer. Not a popular spot just yet but I'm sure it'll catch the attention it deserves.Prices posted! All prices are either on the shelf or on the item itself. Not one of those sketchy places where prices are unknown- very reassuring knowing how much I'm about to spend. Cheap! Good prices! I go to a few of these every now and then and by far, for the selection and service, these prices are a steal! I got three things here that wouldn't have been available at one store, let alone for the price I got. I spent 12 dollars. Anywhere else, it would most likely be closer to 20-25. Summary: Want a beautifully quiet hole-in-the-wall comfortable store to buy some high quality choice Asian food Mart items? This place is a must! Please check it out- truly going on my text thread of favourite stores like this. :)

Small but very clean and stocked up with my basic Japanese cuisine. Drives 45 minutes just to shop here. Seen other claim-to-be-japanese-grocery but only here I am always happy and get what I need.
