I really want to love this place, options are great for being such a small, cozy, family-fun, authentic Japanese shop in the middle of this crazy desert. Im personally familiar with what makes Japan great - which is the over-the-top friendly customer service you encounter there. I dont know who theyre employing at this place but the ladies at the front counter need to learn basic customer service let alone Japanese customer service. The young girls there are fantastic, they are always friendly, helpful and lovely, makes you feel welcome for shopping there. Its the older ladies that work the register who give this place a bad name. Of all the times Ive shopped here, Ive never once heard a simple thank you from them on the way out. No smile, nothing. They just act like they want you the hell out of there, every time. Ive had better customer service at McDonalds than this place. They would be reprimanded if they actually worked at a shop in Japan. The owners need to be aware.

We went here to pick up a few Onigiris for a trip. I assumed they would be off the shelf, but they make it fresh based off your order. Which was a delightful surprise. The food was delicious and they made it like within 5 mins. You can also apparently call early to place the order and pick it up if youre in a hurry. I was planning on getting the spam musubi but it was gonna take the time. Next time Ill call ahead.Loved the supermarket, the service, food and people. Highly recommend.

Great prices and employees! Selection can be slim for certain items but its ok.. its a small store. Friendly and helpful staff and best place to buy Japanese food products. Great prices on the to-go food!

I agree with the other patron who has pointed out there is no customer appreciation or hospitality with a few of the older ladies who work at the cash register. There is one older lady who always forgets to put all the groceries into my bag and when I pointed it out, she followed me to my car to see my receipt. When she did it again the next time, she finally admitted it was her error, but she was even colder to me ever after. I frequent the store often and buy a lot so I am relieved when there are other people working there besides her. Never got her name, but I do agree that there is no recognition, no smile, no words,, and they do not look at you when you check out with your groceries. I was also once reprimanded for not using a grocery cart when I was carrying everything I was going to purchase. Another time, I was asked to keep my child outside because there were too many people in the store (this is when it was 4 people in a store at once due to covid).

We stopped in here and was pleasantly surprised on how much stuff they had. We support family owned and small business. Not only is it a market but it also services Japanese food. The 2 ladies that were there were there were very nice and helpful.

What a hidden gem! As you walk in its a small Japanese super market, pretty much just the essentials (ie. Alcohol and ramen lol). All kidding aside they have meats, vegetable, treats and authentic ingredients to make almost any meal! The best part of all is they have a quick service kitchen of all sorts of sushi and bento boxes. The food is very delicious, fresh, clean and healthy. The meals are very inexpensive, almost all under $10. Keep in mind they are very busy so call ahead and be patient because almost every thing is made fresh to order, I can smell the fish cooking! For all those who complain about the service, they are not there to hold your hand! Get what you want, pay and get out!

Such an adorable store. Love it. And theyll cook you a meal! Dont forget to buy whistle candy. Lots of fun!

Some many great items. Decent prices and friendly staff. Arrigato!

Its a lovely place with a whole bunch of unique items/staples and constantly changing snack foods. Worth the money. Always come here for quality items that I know will be in stock. There are grannies and aunties running the place. People need to give them a break for the occupancy rules. Just trying to protect their employees.

Stamp card discount rewards🤩, fresh authentic Japanese produce 😍 (hokito mushrooms best price here). Friendly helpful service, delicious market sushi. Totally worth it.

I found the most beautiful wagashi here and was utterly ecstatic about it because even specialty stores in NYC didnt have such gorgeous wagashi. There was only ONE package left when I came for it and it was like it was meant for me and my family. Thank you!

Limit 4 customers in at a time for groceries. If you order a bento box or bowl you need to wait outside for 20-30 minutes.Prices are a little on the higher side, but if its something you need that is hard to find then you might have to spend the money.I didnt try the bento boxes because its after 6pm.I bought 9 things that came to $32.

Just love Japanese stuff, snacks especially!

Great little Japanese market located in a strip mall next to EOS fitness. The store has a nice selection of Japanese food without being overwhelming. I sometimes pop by to pick up a musubi for lunch or some soft bread rolls. They carry the Mogu Mogu fruit drink that has jelly pieces in the bottle. Theres also a good variety of quick currys in a box that you can make at home. Get a punchcard and you will get a discount after you spend $100 here.

An adorable little store. Got a snack crate from Japan and had to try more of the snacks so found this little store and they have a good selection of snacks, drinks and Ramen to choose from. The ladies were super helpful explaining what we had questions about. We will for sure be back!

The shop owner is always so polite and sweet! This is the only shop even close to Henderson that sells asian food and I love coming here for hard to find items like natto. Also, the fresh made dango is amazing but always sold out. :)

A one star is to high for this place. Ive always thought of the Japanese people being some of the nicest in the world, but this place...WOW!!! My (minor) daughter and I went in to buy some groceries and was told that only one of us could come in. So basically they kicked my minor child out. So we left and as I did another two customers walked and werent turned away. Big middle finger to this place...

Small japanese grocery store but has almost everything you would need with dry/frozen and fresh ingredients. They also make good and very reasonably priced food. It just takes about 20mins.

A great local Japanese market with everything that you could need. I’m surprised by the other reviews. The people working there were very friendly and respectful. They currently have a mask policy and only 3 customers are in at time. I spent most of COVID on the east coast and the majority of small stores do this

A nice small little store that have kitchen in the back so you can order hot food or sushi. Certain stuffs seem to be pricier but its understandable. They also have sushi & other stuffs in the fridge but those ran out quick.

Nice selection of Japanese products. They have hot food available to order like tonkatsu bowl (my fav.) yummy! I also get the fresh baked Japanese bread here and Japanese pudding! They have quick premade bentos to go for a quick bite like onigiri.

I love this store! it has so many things and they are super friendly and nice!

I’ve come to this place couple times and both times I didn’t feel welcomed. These people need to learn English and improve their customer service skill 👎🏼👎🏼.

Small Japanese mart. Nothing especial.

A variety of Japanese food to make or buy, a variety of ramen to make at home! Little knick knacks as well! They have bread! Punch card system as well. Good social distancing! c:

Good location small shop decent selection plan on waiting being a small shop and with social distancing policies they can only have a certain amount of customers in the shop at any given time

Absurd policy! Limited to four people. The lady behind the register literally almost had a stroke before we stepped foot into the store. She had two diapers on her face and a face shield. Good luck maintaining your business.

Pretty neat grocery store with authentic Japanese products, prices are actually quite decent as well, and the staff is friendly.

I felt compelled to write my review after viewing the spew of negative comments against the store recently due to changes because of Covid. This market is located down the street from my home so I am a frequent shopper. I adore that this business is locally owned with a small, but good selection -- personally, Ive never been disappointed. Since the Covid outbreak, what many of the negative commenters have failed to mention is that this store is ridiculously small, so placing a limit on how many people can go in at a time is absolutely needed and just common sense -- they also have had a labeled sign outside their stores front entrance since the start of covid so guests know immediately. This area that the store is located is full of entitled white people that expect special treatment and when its not given they will butcher locally owned businesses with negative reviews. Dont knock this market until youve stopped by and took a look for yourself, its worth the wait.

Its a bit of a drive for me but well worth it. Quality food items & authentic Japanese products. What really brings me here is the kitchen!! The food they cook tastes amazing and is made to order! I got so meals for 2 and some sushi rolls & salmon balls for just a little over $20!! That was a great price for the amount, quality, and taste of the food. Its like a home cooked meal & doesnt have the rush/feel of a restaurant. Definitely give this place a try, the staff are very kind and respectful + you get a stamp card/ stamp on each visit to work your way up to a free meal. 💕💕💕

If youve been a fan of Yoshinoyas in California. This is really close. Its a small market but they cook up beef bowls in the back. They close early on Saturday check this place out. But its best to call ahead because the bowl takes a while to make right now. But I went to the boboa place while they made my bowls. All very tasty 😋.

Very strong sewer smell that day but other times I have went the place was fine and service very nice

I like to support small local businesses. When I heard about Japan Creek Market from a friend. I had to stop by and get some bento boxes. When I walked in with my three small children, the employee ran up to me and she started to yell at me that I can’t bring more than one child or she can’t have other customers come in. I looked around, the store was empty except for the employees. She said I’ll make an exception this one time but then she wouldn’t stop about bringing more than one child into the store. We just walked out and left it’s not worth the harassment especially when your spending your money.

Such a nice store with so many great Japanese options for all grocery needs. Sugoi!

A small store with a somewhat limited selection of products but superb service.

They have a big sign for their store but the store itself is quite small. They definitely have authentic items and food and were very friendly but I wish they had more.

This small Japanese market brings me back to the awesome visits i had in Tokyo and Osaka.Japan Creek is the tiny in size with two main aisles but the shelves are stocked. Japanese snacks, candy, and canned drinks are the main reasons I visit Japan Creek. The vending machines in Japan offers some unique drinks that I enjoy and I was happy to find here. The black and green teas, oolong tea, milk teas, the coffee drinks, and the calpico beverages. The Premium Boss coffe is the best black coffee drink Ive ever had and Im glad I can stock up over here.The Japanese candy and Chips are attractively packaged and tasty. The Japanese snacks seem to taste cleaner and less processed than the U.S. snacks in my opinion.Additionally, theres fruits, vegetables, personal products, and a great noodle bowl section with an amazing selection of flavors.Its so easy for me to visit here and walk out with more products I didnt plan on buying. This is a nice little Japanese market to visit if youre familiar with Japanese food products or are curious and want to explore. Arigato!

Small little mini market hidden in the back of the plaza. They of course cant carry EVERYTHING, but they always have most of what I need. Ie: kimchi, bonito flakes, sashimi grade fish, dress produce like Daikon, stuff like that. The little punch cards are really cool and the staff is always nice. Ive came in with beat up punch cards on numerous occasions and they just switch me over to a new card. I never realized they had a little kitchen in the back with a few dishes they will prepare fresh. Unfortunately, they were told they had to temporarily stop their fresh meals due to covid. 😢 Hopefully they are allowed to start that up soon, Ive been wanting to try the food for a while. Because of the small square footage of their location, there is a limit to how many people can enter at a time, and that of course is not their fault. The people giving them one star reviews for the customer limit when it isnt even in their control are complete idiots.

I was rushed inside. Because only 2 people can enter at a time. Understandable because it is just a small place but i do hope i had more time shopping

VERY GOOD 😊

Small but nice they also have prepared food like bento boxes

Well organized and it had what we wanted and then some. Friendly staff.

I was disappointed with the cashiers attitude. I was in Japan for seven years. I always thought of Japanese people as the most friendly nicest people. I have shopped here before. I like how they greet you as youre entering their business. Today was ugh!

If you order food you must wait outside. Odd

My wife loves the cream puff they sell there. And they also have one of my favorite sake.

I like japanese style prepared food. I tried the sushi here and it is well made and delicious to me. Other people may not have the same opinion if they have not grown up eating this type of food and would probably call it rather bland. I didnt have time to look around at the other merchandise but they seem to have some good stuff. I think I will be coming back to see what else they have.

Best Japanese food in town. Call ahead and theyll have it ready... no real seating in the store. Delicious

Poor customer service. They don’t care customer waiting out side (Hot summer time) for long time and not watching if they can come in or not. Very poor products selection.

This place has great selection of Japanese goods. I usually come here to get takoyaki ingredients.

Went to Japan Creek market because my fiance and I had decided to make our own sushi at home. It went very well. The store was well equipped with everything we needed to make it. The salmon we bought was very fresh and tasty. We also got pickled ginger and wasabi powder from this location and they were both quality items. The woman working the cash register was adorable and provided adequate service to us. Overall, a great experience. I would go back for other items next time. We were in a hurry so we quickly gathered our sushi necessities and rolled out. But their sushi made there was inexpensive and looked to be very popular.

I love coming here. Its such a cute little store. Lots of imported food. The staff are friendly and proactive about assisting me with finding whatever I need. I like to buy cheap snacks here to buy the love of my coworkers.

I recently started going here on the weekends to grab a bento for lunch and various Japanese snacks, the store is fairly small but has a good selection of choices. The bento lunches are simply amazing and the staff is friendly and helpful!

Small but decently stocked neighborhood Japanese market. Just dont bother asking questions or about anything pretty much, the answer is always no.

Love coming here with family and friends. Good Restaurants to pick from. Love the atmosphere around here. Night time is even better.. In my opinion..

Good selection of specialty Japanese foods with produce and unique cuts of meats and seafood

I love little independents like Japan Creek. The Chinese community have plenty of options with 99 Ranch Market, 168 Market, and SF Supermarket and Koreans have Greenland - but the small Japanese community/demand dont justify a Mitsuwa or Marukai opening up shop here.So small stores like Japan Creek, Nakata Market, and Japan Mini Mart play an important role for the small Japanese community living in Vegas. Yes, you can pick up 95% of the items sold at these smaller stores at Greenland and others - most likely for less too - but I think its important to support them.Do I sound like a former small business owner who had a homemade ice cream shop in Vegas for over 15 years, haha? Please help support small business and visit Japan Creek Market!

My number one go to for instant yakisoba and handrolls.

Excellent selection of Japanese goods! Like many of the reviews say, I can also confirm that the prices are a bit high, but make no mistake thier goods are Authentic. You get what you pay for and if you want Imported Japanese goods in Henderson NV, then this is a good place to start.

The California roll was excellent,the tuna roll was great, called in order 30 minutes out and was ready when I arrived. Kitchen is closed by 6pm

Ive been shopping at this store for over 7 years and the prices have always been affordable its a great shop to support. The staff is super lovely shout out to Judy and to cooks back there. I highly recommend their takoyaki and beef bowls its delicious. And definitely their sushi such as JCM rolls is so good and is reasonably priced for huge quantities. Its my go to place to order sushi and Ive order alot over the years. Theyre ever timely when you place an older! Also have really good bakery goods like red bean buns and mochi! Youll find everything you love and everything you need at the Japanese Creek market.

Friendly staff. Many items. Just like being in Japan shopping. Was looking for New Years Kochi for my alter in the house. Tried 2 other places, but they did not have what I wanted or did not know the item. Located in Henderson but worth trip there even though we live far north.

Tasty bento meals, assorted prepared dishes, and selection of authentic Japanese goods makes Japan Creek my first stop for a break from American food.

Very friendly people and a great place to pick up Japanese essentials. Their bentos and other foods are great. Some of the best fried chicken (唐揚げ) I have had this side of the Pacific.

They are not very nice it is and very an professional putting ther rules. I well never buy and go back to this location.

This market has a ton of random stuff. I went for sushi grade salmon which was 15.99 a pound and tasted great. The meat selection was not big at all and the feel is more of a convenience store with a little bit of everything Japanese including noodles, manga,Japanese make up and other products. Its well worth checking out. Yelp has a TON of reviews as well.

It was a nice find. Ive tried some of the Asian markets and Chinatown, but this store was very nice. The prices may have been a bit high, but the staff was very friendly, and I was pleased with the amount of goods. The only other drawback may be that the bentos did not look as appealing as ones in other Japanese markets, and given that there are several restaurants around, it may be worth it to just eat there or get take out.

The best mackerel bento and salmon bento. Amazing little store everything is so Japan.

I have just discovered Japan Creek Market but I love it! I have found stuff here that I wasnt able to find any of the other Japanese stores around town. They make fresh Bento and onigiri, their food is delicious and I definitely recommend them! The staff is super helpful and kind.

Great little Japanese market. They have a very large selection for being such a small place. They have stuff to make sushi, soba, ramen, snacks, candy, meat, drinks, and a lot more! They even had a little candy making kit I got while in Japan. The staff is very friendly and they are always stocking new items.

The front desk is Very unfriendly. No smile at all. She did not allow a customer to use the restroom by excused it is not a public. Even I ordered food to pick up and has been shop there since they open.

Nice Japanese grocery store, they have a wonderful selection of snacks (calbee chips, kitkats, and menji chocolates) and some good hard to find staples I like to cook with Curry roux, miso paste, and other oils and spices. Very small but has what I need

Great, albeit small, selection of hard to find Japanese foodstuffs, savory and sweet. Also has a small selection of produce, frozen goods, and sundries. Very friendly staff.

You need to go here for any Japanese meals at home needs! We made homemade pork belly ramen with medium boiled quail eggs, all using ingredients from this store, so delicious!!

I do not recognize this place. Cant recall being here

Fun to see a lot of different Japanese or Japanese-themed items (lots of non-food items were made in China) but it was quite expensive and we only bought 2 things.

Small market with some fresh vegetables and baked goods. Bento boxes and bowls are ok.

Small Japanese market some fresh veggies some baked goods 3 days a week frozen foods some rice various other items

Super cute place to find things from Japan that I cannot find at other Asian markets in town!

Nice little Japanese store. They have some great bentos, premade and custom ordered. Fresh groceries and Japanese snacks.

Theres a lot packed into this tiny place! I went for an okonomiyaki kit and fresh ramen. The kit was an easy find (they even had pork to go with!), but the freshest ramen was frozen. Im still excited to eat it, though!

I love it I get my Japan good I cant find no where else

We started trying to cook Japanese food and this is the place to find the ingredients. Very small and very well stocked.

Closest thing to Japan you can get to in LasVegas/Henderson. Fresh produce, great customer service and the food...omg!! Come and get your bentos here

Very authentic items. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Great store. They have an excellent selection of Japanese products. They stock my favorite dressing - Angelo Pietro. Picked up a bottle of the Sesame Miso Dressing and some Himemaru rice crackers.

Im so glad I can finally find all the japanese ingredients that I need to make curry, miso soup, sushi and other awesome japanese goodies! The owner is pretty nice and friendly as well!

Best little Japanese store anywhere in Henderson. I always go here when I need anything from Togarashi to mackerel.

I love coming to this place. Very nice and helpful staff.

They always have my beer when Lee Liquors are sold out - Asahi Super Dry (1 LTR CAN) from Japan. Whole foods was the cheapest place to buy Asahi Super Dry (1 LTR CAN) for $ 3. 49 in Las Vegas but they stopped selling Asahi beer after Amazon took control of the Whole Foods Corporation. Japan foods other wise is a great store, but a little expensive. We need a Uwajimaya store here in Vegas like San Diego, CA and Beverton, OR. That would provide a little price competition for Japan Creek. For our Summer warmth, Japan Creek makes one of the best shaved Ice cones you can get in Las Vegas.

Very good but small market. Great place to get a few things.

They have a reasonable selection of asain goods, produce, food that you cant find everywhere in vegas. Prices arent that bad depending what youre looking for.

Has all the basics. Staff is helpful. Wish we lived closer!

I get my sashimi from there.Salmon and etc.. It tastes delicious, and costs less if you prepared at home! V.s if you would go to a restaurant!

Great food. Nice service. Thanks!

Best Japanese grocery in town, try their bento!

Amazing!!! Had so much fun picking snacks out to try.

Nice selection of food that is hard to find . Polite helpful staff

A great little market with a variety of hard to find items.

First time and my last, was a terrible experience. I order chicken curry about 8 dollar with 4 tiny pieces of chickens. When I told her about she said you eat it all, like I was lying then I order chicken cutlets for 4.50 came with dark meat most japanese restaurant make it with white mean, so dry then when I ask for extra gravy she said I have charge. Wow! It’s not about the money and the principal of the amount of time I wait for my food. Disgusted!

Adorable Japanese market that has inexpensive sashimi grade fish for sushi. They also have great, inexpensive snacks and small meals, including onigiri (rice balls) and bento meals.
