I tried their To Go Sushi and they were pretty good. Finally a place where spicy tuna is spicy.

Small but stocked with a lot of cool imported Japanese products.

Great selection of fish, produce, and lots of interesting snacks and drinks

Very well stocked grocery store, a lot of authentic Japanese products and good looking fresh produce. Their fish and sushi looked really good but I didnt get around to trying it, will probably come back.

Has your basic Japanese food needs and even a small restaurant now too to try some tasty hot Japanese food

A complete assortment of food. Also some ready made food. Close to the hotel just a walking distance, very convenient for a traveller .

The ready food here is an excellent alternative to most of the sushi restaurants in the area. The curry udon is awesome

One of the few exclusively Japanese markets. Large selection of condiments, sauces, sakes and frozen foods typically only available in Japan. Great pre-packaged meals like Karaage, Tonkatsu, Yakisoba, and Teriyaki Bento. Extensive house-made sushi selection and a small hot food counter for Donburi, Ramen, etc. Good selection of quality thinly sliced meats for Shabu-Shabu. Very fresh produce and reasonable prices.

I felt very safe lining up in a social distance manner. All the baskets and shopping carts were wiped down. They enforce a maximum number of people inside. Food was great.

Smallish but with great quality groceries, particularly from Japan. You can also get some prepared meals here, and the staff is always friendly and courteous.

Smaller selections of products, much smaller than the ones that Im used to back in SoCal. I wont have trouble finding common popular items but will run in disappointment on more specific snacks or drinksNonetheless, clean store with polite and very helpful employees

Here is a store with a decent selection of Japanese goods and items that you might find in another Japanese market. The prices are not too cheap, but probably just about right for the San Francisco-area market. There is a small deli/good counter at the front of the store that you can eat into store (chairs and tables nearby) out carry out with you. Parking is free, but its shared with all the other stores in the plaza.

Nice, clean, not as busy. Selection seems smaller than the one in Japan town.

The alcohol policy is unreasonable. The staff requires photo ID for every individual person even if we are in different parties. He accepted picture formed ID for one person at the first place, and then decided to reject it for another person in our party. He is very rude, and we feel being treated unfairly and being discriminated.

They have a good variety of Japanese staples. However, it wasn’t the freshest when it came to the seafood section. In regards to the prepared food, it was ok. I don’t think I got the value for the price paid.

Awesome little spot! Soooo many foreign food choices. And awesome quality sushi for being from a market

The place is clean. The food looks high quality and appetizing. Especially the beef and chashu

Fairly small but well-stocked Japanese supermarket. It seemed to be the same size as the San Jose location, but with one caveat. I visited specifically with a bento and Japanese supermarket sushi craving... but the selection here was disappointing.The bento boxes looked a bit sad - the salmon looked overcooked and things were just haphazardly packed. Nigiri looked like the fish was slopped on the rice. Just not up to standard. The San Jose location was much, much better.I’ll probably try again in a few months, but I was sad to see the prepared food selection. I did get a loaf of Nijiya-brand tofu bread (yep, read that right - it was actually pretty good; can’t really tell it’s made from tofu!) so there may be some Nijiya-specific gems to look out for.

Small but exquisite Japanese supermarket. Love the bento and sandwich there. You can also find daily needed vegetables or meets there. Their portion size is very suitable for one or two people

Lots of imported goods. There is food that is prepared there as well. Also has frequent community events.

Wonderful little market with the essentials.- Friendly staff- Carts and baskets are cleaned for use- Good selection of meats and premade meals/snacks

Products are mainly Japanese made and thats great if you are looking for high quality produces. But the fruits are not as high quality as other stuff.

Nice selection of Japanese cooking ingredients/supplies and snacks.

Great Japanese Market. Nice selection for such a small store. Bentos are plentiful if you get there early. Nice friendly staff.

This is the best Japanese supermarket! You can get prepared sushi, fresh sushi grade fish to make your own, and all the sides and sauces to complete your meal!

Love this place ❤️

We keep coming back here for the great prepared sushi, the fresh sashimi and other selection of stuff

Its a cute little market with interesting ingredients. I just wish they had more selection for sushi grade fish.

My favorite stop for sashimi and fish to cook at home!

Smaller Japanese market with a decent selection, easy parking, freeway access, and friendly staff.

Great selection of authentic Japanese grocery and foods.

Smaller version of Mitsuwa market.

Usually this one or the one in San Mateo are well stocked.

Small Japanese market with expensive products. Most of everything here can be found at your local Ranch 99 chain. It was clear everything was marked up. Long lines, not worth the wait.I have to go back and get my nails done and I have a few things to do with the house I need a few minutes and I’ll get it done before you leave here so I can go get the kids to the house to go get some stuff done and I can go to my moms and get some rest done and I will get back with me later on this morning I can get some rest done and I can go to my office to pick you some rest and I’ll get you a ring when I can go to the house I have a couple things I can do it tomorrow and I’ll be there by about seven

Fresh food and alot of good stuff.

Favorite place for calamari

Cute little store with a little bit of everything! The best part is the food section where you can take out to go boxes or even order some ramen, karaage, or Japanese curry at reasonable prices. Get ready for the sticker shock though if youre not used to the high prices at Japanese stores.

Many varieties of delicious food to go

Great selections of japanese grocery. Their sushi box and sashimi fish is very delicious. I come here regularly for my crave on japanese food.

Nijiya is a smaller Japanese supermarket than Mitsuwa, but Nijiya has unique products that Mitsuwa does not have. I like frozen fried oysters.

The best quality fish Ive seen is in their meat / seafood area. I use it to make my own sashimi. Yum!

What a nice charming Japanese supermarket.

Neat place for Japanese food and goods. Came to get a few things and came out with more.Pros:-Clean store-Organized well and neatly-Huge variety of ready to eat foods-Great customer serviceCons:-Mostly generic Japanese groceries that can easily be bought at an American grocery at either a higher or lower price in your Asian aisle.

Its a very small shop and the varieties are limited. But its nice and lean and pleasant store to shop at.

Good local Japanese market I like to go. They have a stand where they sell udon and soba like the breakfast place I used to go in Shinjuku.

Nice place to get sashimi. They keep the fish really cold here. There is a deli where you can get some healthy but relatively inexpensive food. There are some neat japanese groceries inside.

Excellent selection of prepared sushi for lunch

Fresh Sushi to go boxes! Good assortment. Had to wait in line to enter store but humored with the creative way to make line appear shorter with more opps to be under the shade.

Nijiya market is located next to Smart and Final on El Camino near Grant Road. If you are trying to build a new business to make enough money to make your housing dreams come true, youll be buying supplies at Smart and Final, and I do. If you are keeping yourself healthy and happy in the meantime, then you will be shopping at Nijiya. They have amazingly yummy stuff that cannot be found at mainstream stores. My favorite stuff are the kinds of things that can be whipped together into a one-pot meal by my favorite kind of home chef, the girl who never uses a recipe. Nijiya is where I might get lucky enough to see her, and compare recipes about love, life, finances, health, and hope. Thank you Nijiya for what you offer.

Still by far the most convenient Japanese grocery in the area

Best kept secret for the best sushi in town. very cheap and you can tell the quality of the fish is top notch. the cafe inside also has great curry ramen and udon. where the COOL KIDS would eat in high school lol

Local Japanese grocery store with a little cafe inside. Great place to grab quick lunch. They have public restrooms too!Selection of dairy products is still very limited. Meat and seafood is great and it is definitely a to go place for fresh fish and the like.Selection of Japanese sweets is just way too good and dangerous. :)

Amazing place! The first time I was here, I thought I was in Japan. The grocery store has a lot of Japanese goodies. Straightforward menu and convenient that you can order and go grocery shopping. The price is pretty decent. The quality of meat and seafood is fresh.

Good selection. Quick checkout

Great ramen!! Rivals even the best ramens in South bay, with no wait and half the price!!Good tasting ramen at great prices! Unlimited condiments: green onions, crunchy puff things, seaweed, and flakes (butchering their real names). Decent sushi selection at good prices when you can catch the 20% off deals.

Their hot food counter is open even though theres a sign saying its not. Just ask someone and theyll take your order. Im happy with the udon I just got.

Overly priced even the local produce.Limited selection.....

Solid deli counter meals. Deals on beer are amazing. Cold food from fridge is delicious. Hot food is fresh and yummy. Its a deli and a restaurant in one. Some seating is available, plus samples and Japanese TV shows that are unlike anything youve seen on American network TV.

Spot is great. Surrounded by other business. Good place for quick stop snacks or food supply lol

I’m not impressed with the selection or the price here. The quality of grocery here is decent. The food court is mediocre. It’s not a bad place, but there are better choices out there.

My employer basically stranded me in the area, without a vehicle, for five weeks. This shop was the only thing that I was really able to enjoy. I got to experience a lot of strange new foods here. Some of it was fantastic, and some of it was revolting. I rarely read the English translation on the back, so it was often a gamble what I was getting... at least at first. If variety is the spice of life, this place was a spice shop. All of the staff was extremely friendly and always helpful.

The food served is fantastic, and groceries are cheap.There is also this one older gentleman with glasses who serves is regularly whenever we go. Hes honestly the kindest man.

This place is the best. Consistently delicious sushi and always friendly staff. Special shout-out to the helpful gentleman who went out of his way to ensure I left with sushi rice tonight 🙏 huge thanks

Probably my favorite Nijiya Market location in the bay area. Good variety of products and the best selection of pre-made food.

Only wish this store is bigger and carries more goods.

Good variety of Japanese staples, and mostly at reasonable prices. There is a hot food bar as well as prepared food that is refrigerated. The only thing I would caution against is that a significant number of the groceries are labeled only in Japanese so its helpful to bring a more literate friend if youre able.

They have a lot of cute and tasty snacks with a good variety of Asian products. The workers are also very nice

They are wiping all the carts down, and the sushi/bento boxes are all 🔥💪😎 👍🔥.

Nice and clean Japanese grocery store. Their pork and beef are high quality and reasonably priced.

Smaller Japanese market. Great deli but limited selection of other items.

Its cheaper than others

They sell plants that cannot be found in other markets or nurseries.

Great row fish and sushi selection, reasonable prices, nice rice seasoning.

Best fish in the whole area. My go to place, and lots of other peoples too. When I want sushi or shashimi, without having to pay an arm and a leg to get it, this is the spot I go to for what I need. Five stars, and thats very difficult to get from me because theres always room for improvement.

First and last time to this store. :(

Cashier is very rude

I like the Bento and sushi that they sell here. I also like the fresh fish that they sell for cooking- its throughly cleaned!Look for discount items as regular priced items are pretty expensive.

The cleanest market!

Great local grocery store with niche items. Will be back again, fresh produce and meat!

Have most of the basics in the Japanese food line. Nearly all the fresh vegetables are organically grown. Love the steamed buns.

I saw a fly near the fish department.

Great Asian market. Tons of stuff, and just about everything you need. Super friendly staff get you through the lines pretty fast. We get a mailed flyer every 2 weeks or so with the sales items.

Awesome Japanese selection. Little bit small. If you have kid and use their okay cute shopping cart, one warning, you cant take the cart outside of the supermarket.

A small quiet grocery store with lots of Japanese exclusive products. Even if you dont read Japanese, everything in the store has a label and translated instructions on a sticker attached to the item. There is a deli section where you can get warm meals for now and chilled ones perfect for packed lunches! The staff is not intrusive and very nice and there is usually samples on the weekend! Once a month they have specials on meat and have events often that come with deals on certain items! This place is downright lovely!

This is a great place, and one of only two in the South Bay area, to shop for Japanese food. Items you cannot find at other local stores can be found here. The vegetables, fresh fruit, fresh fish and meats are especially good; for example, the thinly sliced beef for sukiyaki and whole fresh fish. They must have contracts with local Japanese farmers to get such good fresh produce. We use Nijiya as a specialty shop for Asian food we cannot get elsewhere, because staples are expensive compared to other grocery stores.

Very nice Japanese super market in the Mountain View Area. Not very large, but common Japanese items could be found and they are of good quality. They also have ready to serve bento boxes.

Lovely place to buy Japanese food. Like a little market that also sells sushi and other prepared food, both hot and cold. They even have a microwave for you to warm the food there. This reminds me of places I went to when I visited Japan.

Excellent variety of Japanese groceries, hot and cold prepared foods can be found here. Decent selection of organic products in their produce. Has a convenient seating area. Super cold, so dress in layers!

This place is awesome! Lots of ready to eat items if youre in a hurry, and some great food freshly made to order. I had some delicious Ramen. I was shopping next door at Smart and Final and was starving, so I tried Nijiya. A wonderful Japanese Super Market! Plenty of space to eat too!

Nice place to get Japanese bottled teas and snacks. Their beer selection is also superb, although not being able to buy Strong Zeroes or Yebisu Beer is a bit disappointing, but that’s really something we have to live with outside of Japan. The bakery items are also pretty nice, you can get all the an pans or melon pans you need. Overall, it’s a nice Japanese grocery store, but parking in Japantown can get a bit tricky sometimes...

Small location but lots of variety.

After the San Francisco one, probably the best in the Bay Area since they have a kitchen making fresh fried foods you dont find at other locations. Prices seem higher than the other chains, but I come back for the crab croquettes, they even make Japanese style piroshki occasionally.

Nice japanese supermarket with a huge variety of products.It also has a food court with high quality food.I had some sushi and a soup and it was delicious, I would totally come back again and try more stuff besides buying some products to cook on my own.

My favorite Nijiya location to shop at. They have an excellent selection of prepared foods, as well as a counter for hot food orders like chicken and croquettes. It’s easy to plan a meal when everything looks so good!

Great market with Japanese specialties. My top two favorite things about this place are the little hot food stand on the left (along with some ready-to-eat sushi next to it) as you walk in the entrance, and the amazing selection of sakes. If youre already in the area, get some reasonably priced ramen and some fun snacks (may I suggest shrimp chips?) before you head out. This place is a hidden gem.

I love the little kitchen inside Nijiya. For 7 or 8 bucks you will eat a decent meal (croquettes, beef bowls, etc).

Small but with excellent customer service! I asked to find a particular item and the workers went up the chain of knowledgeable employees to help me finally find the item I was looking for. A+!

Love this place especially sushi and sashimi. They clean everything after each customer visit.

Love this market because it has a good selection of Japanese ingredients and complementary organic produce and ingredients. Their deli section is also a lifesaver in a pinch for Japanese convenience store style food or some of your favorite Japanese fried foods without the mess.

Great place for everything Japanese. Fresh fish and meat for all sorts of Japanese and non Japanese dishes
