    Similar size and selection to the store near grand central. Friendly staff, some cool japanese houseware gadgets and great cooking staples. Had a great seaweed salad for 5.99.

    Thank you, Dainobu, for providing me with tiny little sandwhiches that remind me of 7-11 in Tokyo. It's not exactly right, but the effort is much appreciated.

    Freshly prepared onigiri at all times. Get there before lunch rush if you want the spicy salmon or plum ones.

    Incredible how much fantastic stuff they cream into this place! Very reasonable prices for the area, better than Sunrise Mart

    Excellent spot for a quick midtown lunch under $10. Teriyaki bowls @ 7 bucks & sushi hand roll for $2? Not bad. Also the sweets are awesome.

    Good place for Japanese grocery food. Sushi rice is always at a good price, located on the back shelf of the store.

    A great choice of meals with the seafood. Everything is fresh and delicious. I’ve chosen tuna salad and salmon+avocado rolls

    Great Asian mart in midtown east. I sneak over here for my plum onigiri, coffee in a can, and some Asian snacks.

    This store is very small, but can help you get some Asian goods in the city, at least.
