Very Good ServiceJune 5, 2018A must visit Japanese market in London, close to Picadilly Circus. A great selection of products for the Japanese food fans with many authentic local brands not seen in your typical supermarket.
Jenya SJune 16, 2017The best Japanese market in London. Reasonably priced authentic Japanese food and supplies. Sashimi is very fresh. They now also do varied brown rice poké bowls.
Liam BranaghanOctober 4, 2014Amazing sushi, saké, ramen, tempura, green tea.. the list goes on. Definitely recommend grabbing some of the takeaway food. Some items can be a tad expensive so watch out (£14 for green tea Kit Kats!)
Come here for some Japanese fast food. There are seats for you to enjoy in the store. Otherwise, you can come here for a shopping of Japanese products, from miso to Pocky cookies.
Nick ZeroMay 25, 2018dream come true. good selection tea, teaware, fresh and frozen Japanese specialty foods, snacks, sweets, dried stuff, plus a lunch kitchen.
Benjamien SmoldersJanuary 12, 2015Great place for "a bit out of the ordinary" shopping. Also consider grabbing lunch here. It's Japanese food at a level the big chains can only dream off.
This place is great! There are excellent quality sushi and Japanese hot food! Lot of choice on the products as well! Definitely love it!
Their sushi takeaway is always my favourite. Very fresh. For dessert, go for custard dorayaki, black sesame pudding or green tea puff!
Bernardo BelloFebruary 24, 2014Great place to shop for Japanese food or ingredients to take home...it never ends. Also great for lunch. Has also some other interesting things from Japan.- Leigh HoangAugust 4, 2016Love the fresh sashimi here. If you shop at the end of the day, sometimes they do sashimi offcuts for very cheap. Bargain!
I just come here to buy Calpico, magazines and Melon pan, but there's more to the place. The food looks delicious. Plenty great groceries if you want to try your hand at home.
Magdalena MrázkováMay 4, 2015Full of Japanese treats, food, magazines and much more! For students they have a 10% discount!
Jennifer Sarah Yg.June 12, 2014I found everything I need for an amazing Japanese dinner! Super friendly staff too! (Rare for London) definitely coming back!
Dave CrawleyMarch 18, 2017Awesome selection of Japanese ingredients and a wide range of sushi. Not cheap but worth the extra.
Brandon 🍣🍶☕️December 27, 2015Wow. Authentic Japanese market hidden away in London. Check this place out please. Get a bottle of CC Lemon.
Jeffrey JamesJune 12, 2015Convenient location & good selection of Japanese snacks and groceries. It is a little too crowded as they provide tables for people eating in store.
Come early and avoid the crowd. Lunch is great value for London. If you go for the Katsu Curry, ask them to heat it up longer as the microwave isn't that powerful.
MikeAugust 15, 2013Awesome sushi to eat in or takeaway and very good value. Great place for a top healthy lunch under a tenner.
Mark AshworthNovember 9, 2014Great for stocking up on Matcha powder. Great value bento sets, with your choice of white or brown rice.
prima filiMarch 20, 2016Lots of Japanese products, including fresh and eat in. However always too busy, and the new location feels very cramped
Nick FormosoMarch 1, 2012Go there around 8:30pm (30 minutes before closing time), and most refrigerator items will be 50% off!
Free miso soup when you spend 5pounds on take-away, perfect for lunch. Don't be scared by the massive queue at noon, it goes really fast and definitely worth it!
ChinoiseriesFebruary 25, 2016Get the melon pan and dorayaki. There's one vegan onigiri option in the readymade food section.- Beth WilkinsonJanuary 6, 2015Considering the location great choice and value for your money. If you like sushi etc you should try it.
Owen McCabeNovember 17, 2015Authentic Japanese food for a reasonable price. Great range of sushi at various prices!
Miguel AlonsoDecember 20, 2014Great Japanese food and supermarket, and inexpensive. The reduce prices of the fresh food in the evenings
SvetlanaJuly 25, 2013A great Japanese food shop in walking distance from Leicester Square. Tasty food and good value for money!
Glorfind3lSeptember 24, 2014A must visit for Japan food lovers! Such a good food at such a good price! :)
Cate TFebruary 17, 2015So much fun to explore - interesting new ingredients and good peoplewatching to be had- Angela TorikkaMay 2, 2011Very crowded (especially during lunch time) but has just about everything you could want in a Japanese market. Great variety of takeout, both hot & cold. Groceries can get a bit pricey.
What a fantastic place. Great, nourishing, cheap fast food. All served well by friendly staff and in an invitingly Japanese ambience.
Helen ZhangJuly 1, 2017Great selection of Japanese cooking essentials (dashi, mirin, sake, etc) though about 20% too expensive
Andrea CastegnaroFebruary 22, 2015Lot of Japanese kitchen ingredients (especially four sushi). Watch out for the prices!
Make sure to pick up some authentic Takoyaki downstairs at UMAI on your way out!
A good Japanese market with take away of fresh sushi and mochi.- Iker GorostizagaOctober 25, 2012Great food, but is better to take away down to snt James park and eat it there!!!
Gets very crowded but great for all your Japanese food and drinks! :)
joeMarch 13, 2011Best Japanese market in london. Prices have gone up over last few years. Example, red bean bread price went up about 50%the last few years.
Andrea CampiJuly 11, 2015Bento items have gone dramatically down. No comparison to what you can get in other cities; actually you can probably find better at Whole Foods Market. Sad
BobbyJanuary 16, 2016Only place I know in London where you can stock up on Japanese supplies, but it's prohibitively expensive.
