This is a must go for Southern California. If you want Japanese food, japanese drink, anime goods, otaku stuff, this is your place. I had great experience with food in here. You can easily find good restaurants just by walking around. My favorite stores are in the Honda plaza. You might find your favourite here as well.

Came here for ponzu sauce and some ramen. Theres plenty of ramen, and several choices of ponzu sauce. Theres also plenty of produce, sushi/fish, and there are even some restaurants inside.

Foot traffic was relatively light in the Marketplace. No sale pricing as before probably because of the port issues.

This shop is well-known to consumers who want to buy groceries. You can easily place shopping orders and get them delivered the next day. There are a variety of choices online, ranging from fresh foods to ready-to-eat pieces. If you like to drive your car, the parking lot is tidy and spacious enough to fit it. That is fantastic!

My entire family has said nothing but positive stuff about this shop. I really like to shop here because it isnt too crowded. I was able to easily find the goods and compare their prices. I can move about freely due to the large size of the room.

I recently went to a well-known supermarket near our house, which is just a few minutes walk away. I was also relieved by their protection and pleasant attendants. They were very polite to their customers and had all of the merchandise and items that we needed. Ill head to this supermarket the next time Im in search of groceries.

For your shopping needs, the store has a wide variety of excellent options. The supermarkets concept is to include fresh food to the public, and this concept has been realized with the assistance of the supermarkets employees. The companys primary goal is to provide high-quality goods to its consumers. Choose from a wide range of items and begin your journey toward a healthier lifestyle.

Great produce but the meat is a little pricey. You can definitely find all the ingredients to make ramen soup and spring rolls. Great prepared food and meat ready to cook

I like this market place not because it looks like other supermarkets in town, but the variety it has offered in the store. From the fruits, meats and household goods to the restaurants inside the Market have offered to its customers. This store is located inside the building that has many stores surrounding. One stop shopping as they said . It also very close to little Tokyo or arts districts, so you have many choices to visit. Store was very neat and clean as the foods they have prepared. They all looked very delicious and great. Either you like cooked foods or uncooked one they have them ready for you.

I go to the store in a regular basis. Their selection of vegetables and fruits are fresh. The supermarket is very clean staff are friendly. There is also a bakery a sushi place and a hot food selection in the supermarket. The supermarket is located inside the building with many other stores surrounding it. I would definitely recommend going there.

Great produce, meats, seafood and Korean foods. Theres a decent selection of Japanese food as well. Parking is simple in the attached structure. With validation its free for the first hour. Another validation from a second shop in the mall will get you a second free hour.

Pleasant place to find exclusive pieces and exquisite cuisines in the outskirts of downtown. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the atmosphere is now different, and not every store is open but several stores are open and taking precautions. Always fun to walk around, will be back with their range of items available for the exotic supermarkets. Will be back as before.

Ive been going to this place for years now, its a very large and well stocked Asian grocery store. I say asian grocery store before theres quite a Korean influence here, as well as the plaza as a whole. Why? Thats a cultural question for another day.Anyway, its a great shopping experience. You can park on the street, or in the parking structure adjacent to the shopping center. Raw fish, sea food, milk tea, prepared meals, sake🍶, soju, beer, wine, chips, and all sorts of other things. But no toilet paper, paper towels, detergent, etc cetera, I mean come on, get real, thats just not what this place is about. . . Id be very surprised is they wasted real estate on non-food items.This store is well staffed, even with the longest of lines, its usually a very orderly experience, people progress in a steady pace. You can get validation at check out. The receipt 🧾 they will give you is itemized, and even categorized, name another store that does that! One thing I appreciate greatly is how they list their specials/sales, large font on a piece of paper, printed in color and clearly displays the discount period. This is great because I dont have to get close to the shelf to read it.Did I mention the store within a store they pull off here? Talk about consolidation.Honestly, sometimes I just like shopping here for the hardwood floors.

I think it’s one of the best asian grocery supermarkets.You can get pretty much anything you want, in a bulk, or single. They also have a Nature Republic store right there, awesome bakery corner, where at the end of the day you can get a nice deal as buy 2 get 1 for free.They have prepared foods and little places where you can order noodles, or sushi.

This store’s security physically threatened my friend while she was shopping here. She was casually going to pick up an item when the security followed her and then started harassing and bullying her. I used to frequent this place but won’t ever shop here again, and am advising all my friends to stay away as well. This store has shown a pattern of harassment documented across several reviews. I would strongly discourage against anyone from visiting this store.

This used to be my favorite spot in the area for groceries... until security harassed my friend.after seeing how poorly the security guards treat and harass people, and how the employees see it and don’t care, i’m never coming back.they treated my friend who has been coming hear for over a year like a thief because she was looking at cat food. is being thorough about your cat’s nutrition suspicious behavior?they harassed her to the point of her crying. and pulled out MACE to threaten her.all because they assumed she was stealing cat food?, after they’d already been following her around and profiling her? waiting for her to steal and being proven wrong, yet still following? being in your pajamas must be suspicious behavior.why did the employees watch it all while refusing to help? and why are there multiple bad reviews about this, while nothing is changing?we’re both never coming back and telling all our friends to never come back until this place changes this toxic customer service dynamic.

Pleasant experience all around. Im making Mongolian beef and Teriyaki chicken, so I needed few ingredients that I knew Id find here. I found every variety of sauce, marinade, and flavoring that could overwhelm some people. But if you know what your looking for than you have plenty of options. Everything is clearly labeled (in English👍🏼), aisles are clean and organized. Produce looked fresh. I had someone who spoke broken English help me find corn starch, and this very kind man didnt hesitate to try helping me. The cashier was pleasant and reminded me about validating my parking stub. Easy, shaded, and free parking by the way. They even have places to grab a bite from that are tempting. Reasonable prices. Im definitely returning.

I need everybodys help! Im a deaf Asian 40 years old female customer who went to this little Tokyo food market. It was about 10 30 this morning on May 5th, I was in mood for the ice cream 🍦with the cone. I came to the front entrance with two Hispanic old and middle-aged security men. They didnt come to me or stop me in the beginning when I checked the ice cream refrigerator and couldnt find the ice cream cone that I wanted so I left in 5 minute then two same security men came to stop me before leaving. They said something to me with their mask as they came close to my face and Im deaf and I cant read lips. I thought they wanted to see something in my backpack that is common from what I have seen from other stores. I gave my backpack to them and they said no and asked me to leave with their body language. I decided to come back to the entrance and asked them to owe me an explanation in my writing notes. I told them Im deaf and I cant read lips. They refused and talked angrily with their hateful eyes and even he blocked me with his back and tried to push me to get out of the door and he called cops on me unnecessarily for what? The asian cashier and the food market manager refused to provide me their names and a complaint form to fill up. Cops came to me and they were so nice to explain everything on the writing note like they were my interpreters and they left. So I need your help to find someone who can file a complaint form against two security men for discrimination. Cops said Mr. Diaz is an old man who refused to provide communication access through writing.If there was no cops coming to help me that time, the front manager and the cashier still refused to communicate with me and let the old man continue to bully me aggressively with humiliation in front of other people as well. My deaf advocate staffs and thier lawyer are on the way to contact your store soon.

Has everything for your oriental needs. I love the show that they have for the tuna on Saturdays. This fish is nice and fresh. They also have a nice food spot and ready to eat lunches that you can pick up here. All in all, you can find some of the more obscure ingredients at this location. Give it a try!

Review №69

Probably the largest grocery store in Little Tokyo. Its tucked away in the mall area which is about a block away from Weller Court and the other popular locations. That means theres usually no crowds which is pretty nice. The location is huge and theres tons of fresh produce and difficult to find items. The fish that they sell is sushi grade and they have some pretty exotic cuts of meat available. Prices are fair.

They had the best homemade sausage than any other brand we had before. They have the friendliest and helpful staff, as well. They got it all here, from your household to your personal needs. The best thing is, it was near the city center and very accessible to buses and taxis.

My husband and I stopped here for a lunch break as part of a LA Day Tour. Totally amazing place with plenty of food vendors and places to eat. The larger market itself was too big to walk around in our allotted time but looked very large and impressive. Hard to believe this is in the middle of a heavily populated area.

Review №94

Best grocery store for the Arts district. This hidden gem is the only way locals can survive because packed expensive restaurants are not useful for those of us who live there. The produce if often great, the premade foods in the back are good and the takeout restaurants in the front are great for a quick cheap meal. I recently moved to a different part of downtown but I still come here because its so good.Free validated parking is a plus.

Nice place to find unique items and exquisite cuisines within the downtown perimeters. The scene now is different due to the COVID-19 pandemic and not every store is open but some stores are open and taking precautions. Still fun to walk around, will be back for the exotic supermarkets with their varieties of products available. Like always ill be back.
