Tokyo Japanese Food Store: Reviews & Ratings
the owner was very helpful, and the store had exactly what I wanted. I had gone to the other Asian grocery stores with no luck.
Best store for Japanese food and groceries. The owners know how to take care of the fish. Their sushi-grade fish is outstanding.
Best Japanese food store in these parts. I drive an hour snd a half each way just to go there Love eggs and produce. Friendly diners who strictly adhere to Covid protection which I appreciate . Tomorrow
Love this place! They have all my favorite snacks as well as covering their other bases (frozen, cooking supplies, produce, etc.) Staff is super friendly and I love looking at the cute pastries they have at the register although I have yet to try! Sometimes there is a line of one or two people to get in because covid, and the parking lot can be dicey. All things considered tho, worth a trip!
I'm very happy to report that this wonderful Japanese market is alive and well during these strange COVID times. They are extremely careful, allowing only 5 customers inside at a time. Masks are required, as is social distancing. They also provide you with required plastic gloves to wear, in order to keep their products clean and safe. Of course, they still have their WONDERFUL selection of packaged and fresh goods, including noodles, rice, proteins, tofu, vegetables and other items needed for authentic Japanese-style cooking at home. This is by far the most Japan-centric market in town, and we love it! They even have Japanese cook wear and other novelties! Try them out! Tonight, it's kani nabe hot pot, and tomorrow, shabu-shabu! Arigato gozaimasu!
