Clean marketGets pretty busy during peak times with tourists visiting little Tokyo and regular shoppersLOVE their selection of prepared bentos, lunches, onigiri, and plates! They’re all pretty yummy and you can buy an assortment and share.ParkingValidated for 1hr for purchases $25+ in the lot attachedThe spaces are quite tricky and it’s a confusing lot

Amazing place to go to fill your mind with beautiful art beautiful place to eat and meet new people FedEx is just around the corner to help you with your projects and I love the opportunity to have green tea so fresh and refreshing

Absolutely loved the atmosphere of this market! There was such a plentiful variety of goods, including snacks, sushi, and drinks. There are also shoes being sold as well! Throughly enjoyed this market and the staff were extremely kind!

Feels like a quick visit to Japan! They had excellent persimmons when I visited in mid October.

Very bad expirense. From security gard to manager they look at you like your going to still something.The manager is a Latino guy with curly hair, be aware, he is very rude. He doesnt listen and he is aggressive, be careful. Dont come to buy anything from here, besides you need to pay $10.00 for parking even though you validate.

Love this place for inexpensive sushi and rolls that taste pretty awesome and are made fresh daily! Make sure you make it by 4, because after that, you may not find too many fresh trays on the shelf as people do buy them at a good rate. Havent been disappointed by their quality in all the months I have been going there. Oh, and yes, they do take your temperature before going, so they are considering precautions given the current state of things. Adds a sense of security in my opinion. They also include chopsticks for any roll set you get. If you dont see them, add it in at checkout, just ask.

Has become a favorite place in little tokyo, everything i have tried has been great and the store is always fun to be inside

All is in one store. I always visit this location because it is where I can find reasonably priced goods. They had new veggies and meat on sale. The atmosphere was also good, as it was not too packed with shows. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment.

Great Japanese food ...check out the Sushi and the Sashimi its fantastic 👏 😀 👌 👍 😄

There was a wide variety of Asian food, beauty supplies, drinks and just a mixture of exotic things I didnt recognize like a CVS Asian style 😀 😎

This grocery is one of my favorites because it is not only close to our home, but it also offers healthy food and groceries. Ive met all of my requirements here. This is the perfect place for me to purchase a product at a fair price, and the employees are both friendly and willing to help consumers. If I had to score, Id give it a five-star rating!

Authentic Japanese goods and food. I love everything in this market, especially their food!! So fresh and yummy. They also have microwave and hot water near the registers so you can heat up your food or eat ramen right away after you buy it; just like in Asian countries!!

This is such a great market. All kinds of imported foods, drinks, and snacks at pretty decent prices. Their staff are great too and let me know about a good deal on beer :D

At our first meeting, the team was extremely helpful, even assisting us in determining what we were asking for. It was brand new and reasonably priced when compared to similar offers at other retailers. This is a definite must-try!

Great selection, polite, welcoming customer service. Unique products.

I was in the Little Tokyo area for a pre-musical dinner. I stopped in here to pick up a drink before heading back to the Ahmanson Theatre. Its located on the ground floor of the Weller Court at the corner of 1st St and Los Angeles St. While the prices arent the best, they are still decent. The store is always well organized, well stocked, and clean.

Talk about sensory overload walking into this store! This place is packed to the brim with anything you could imagine. It is clean and staff is helpful. Tons of snacks, desserts, and beverages to choose from.

Great small Japanese market! They have a lot of good frozen food :D

Good market. Has all the essentials.

Super selection of rare and hard to find stuff. Recommended

It is located inside the little Tokyo District in Downtown Los Angeles. There were also restaurants and other businesses around its proximity. This Market was really authentic with Japanese products. It is small but it seems to have most of the necessity for Japanese customers needed. Even though it was small size, but it was crowded with customers even the tourist like me to come in.

I love this place. My friend took me here and I loved it. They have pretty much everything from sushi quick bites to snacks that Ive never seen before and drinks.

I went in for a quick stop there is a variety of packaged food and pre-made sushi a variety of juice, cocktails and alcohol lots of Asian fruits like lychee and Frozen seafood, noodles & More .. the line was long but the cashier went through it very fast and they were very helpful.

My family and I love Marukai market everything from the products they carry to their customer service! Their employees are super friendly and always happy to help. The store is well kept, very clean and easy to walk around. The aisles are very well stocked. They carry a variety of items both fresh and packaged. Highly recommend checking this market out as it is very large and you might just find what you are looking for.

Cheap sushi fresh very clean. Affordable.

Crammed wall to wall with amazing goods from Japan. However, staff is unfriendly and not knowledgeable about Japanese groceries.

Excellent selection of specialized Asian ingredients, from processed curry pastes to fresh vegetables. This is a great supplementary market. Additionally, there is a large selection of togo foods throughout the day, and sold at a discount after 7 pm.

Its a good japanese market in little Tokyo, been here many times over the years. Besides the usual japanese specialty times, they got the bento and sushi take out boxes. Prices are reasonable and they validate for the parking underground.

This market is truly amazing and most things you want to get from a Japanese supermarket are here. Now many people might complain on the price of everything, heres the thing most products here are cheap enough. But keep in mind most of these products are being shipped from Japan to the US, because of this they are going to be more expensive. Either way Ive visited this market for years and it always delivers on most things I need and or want.

Their staff are helpful and their sushi is good. When looking for sushi, its best to do it early as its pretty much first come, first serve. They also have a good selection of varying Asian products from food and snacks, to appliances and toys.

My favorite place in little Tokyo area. Definitely worth the visit, please check out curry house if you have the time. They don’t disappoint!

Overall nice market and has a lot of good things but parking is old, hard, still paid $10 for parking after purchasing $100 because there was no sign of telling me where to get validation or who could get free validation

One of your staves aided me in locating the vegetable section when I first entered your lovely shop, and I could tell he was very committed to his job. It was also clean and well-organized, in my opinion. Now all I want to do is return to this place! Im going to tell my friends and family about this! Many thanks.

Fantastic place if you want some snacks for the day or if you wanna make some decent meals at home.I usually just get snacks.

Good place to grab some decent pre packaged lunch

They have a large selection of goods available. Everyone who worked here was nice to us.

I always go there because they have more selection, the prices, and the quality of what their products were great. Also, the staff working out there was very professional, nice, and lovely. They offered what was the best for the customers, and that was the thing I loved the most. Thank you so much!

Couldve been 5 but theyre always out of the good iced coffee 🤦🏻‍♂️

This drug stores operations have always made me happy. My deliveries are always on time and right. Excellent service, product, and delivery. You are greatly appreciated!

Very good quality of foods, fruits, and vegetables. Also, I was stress-free when Im around here. The place was clean, comfortable, and stylish. Eventually, this store was the best! They have the most respectful and accommodating employers that would serve customers nicely and appropriately. Besides, their store has everything that I wanted to buy.

I would like to thank the supermarket very much for the way they handled my order when I visited the supermarket. I had a fabulous stay and loved going around to buy all the things I needed. To have my groceries there on arrival and placed in their rightful homes was a treat in itself after an exhausting but uneventful journey. Great touch!

Please prepare for long wait and not organize shopping experience. Such a waste of my time. Bad management skill operating the store. (PLEASE CLOSE YOUR STORE OR DO OVERNIGHT REMODEL IF YOU MAKING 1 LINE CUSTOMER SHOPPING LINE FOR CUSTOMERS WHILE YOUR STORE IS FULL OF YOUR STAFF WORKING REMODEL)Store is under going Covid 19 restrictions and their own remodel. You can not pick your own food or view. You have to tell store employees to get it for you including regular grocery items. You have to pack your bags even with plastic shopping bag from the store. 30 min shopping turn into 1 hr 30 min waste .

Its a great store love the variety

A great spot for a fast grocery run. They offer high-quality goods at a low cost. Its worth it, and youre eligible!

I felt like I was in Japan. Great experience!

Big market with a wide selection of both premade food and Japanese products that are priced fairly compared to other stores

Great little store that has all the essentials and then some. Love all the snacks and super cheap premade Japanese meals. They’re inexpensive but delicious. Staff is always nice and the store is well stocked and clean.

This is the last time I will visit Marukai Market. To be fair, I did like the food marukai offers, HOWEVER, A Mexican guy with curly hair who works at the parking was extremely rude to me. I shopped at marukai, got my parking ticket validated, but he still asked me for parking fee because I was slightly over an hour. I asked him is there an ATM nearby, he ignored me. I asked him if I can pay by card, He rejected me, and made me drive down 2 levels to find a parking space again, and go back to the store for change. All the ice cream I bought from Marukai have melted during this process, I wasted my money and time. Because of the Stupid guy works at the parking lot, I will never come back again to shop at Marukai again.

I love having my grocery here! They have very reasonable prices, good product selection. Also, have great people that will assist you. They are very friendly and attentive. Thanks a lot!

This grocery store is top notch! Everything you need has been very easy to find. Affordable prices for household items, grocery stores, meats and fresh produce.

The customer service was so out of line. Talk about disrespect. No home training honestly. Pretty shameful.

Good market, reasonable prices, bad staff.Went here quite a few times. They have good content: rice, utensils, cooked food, sushi, general groceries (no fresh greens), alcohol etc. The prices are very reasonable as well.However, the staff gives an attitude if you ask for help, yells at people if they cannot figure out their queue system for check out, and in general any interaction is just horrible.

Just like real japan. Great selection of zakka and food products.

Been a customer for over 13 years now. Love their Sapporo Ichiban noodles, Hi-Chews, Karaage Chicken, Ramune sodas, & many more. Definitely recommend💯

All japonish foods are here but expensive

They moved everything around since my last visit but I found everything and lots of cool snacks.

I usually go here because they sell a variety of Asian cuisine (food to make or premade food that you just have to microwave) and they have a variety of other stuff, from snacks, beauty items and some anime stuff.

Great selection, good prices!

The best grocery store in town! If you are into gourmet foods, organic or anything in between, they have it. I am so happy that I discovered this place! I will surely recommend this to my colleagues!

Lots of Japanese goods, ready made food, alcohol, and snacks! The store was decorated really cutely and all the colors in the store were crazy!

A supermarket with an extended assortment of snacks and goods. Compared to the other Japanese Supermarkets nearby, this one is recommended as you can brows through the Japanese food. Little Tokyo is more compact than the other Asian Towns in LA. Koreatown is quite large and the shops are far from each other, making it less easy to brows through.

Great Japanese market. Fresh veggies, freshly made sushi and all Japanese ingredients you might need.

What a great selection of so many things. Prepared food, desserts, candy, drinks, veggies, etc. Friendly staff

I shopped at the Marukai in Carson all the time in my college days. This one is smaller, but it’s still good service, an interesting selection and fine fresh fish for sashimi or sushi (I make my own). We’re overdue for a visit.

The staple of Japanese supermarkets! They carry things from ready made meals, to snacks and produce. The shelves are always well stocked with goods and the produce section is well kept with nice looking products. Theres also a section of the store that sells house goods like bathroom supplies and hobby supplies.

The small Japanese Market located in Little Tokyo. The problem is the parking spot which hard to find it. No free parking unless you buy more than $25.00 at Marukai you can get one hour validation of parking. Need a free parking for all the customer!!

Overall always loved coming to this market . I understand the whole social distancing but literally we were way behind the register and just put our things we were gonna purchase on the tray because the women in front of us had her things and was just getting the receipt and this guy named MANFRED (rude!) says “are you together with her? No? Then go back or the line “ first of if they don’t even have a big enough sign saying where exactly to stand or where the line is it’s basically a piece a red paper which is no where in seeing distance it’s literally not even on the floor or it taped onto a stand of snacks like it could’ve been a price on paper . Point is he’s tone was so rude basically told us to go to the line way to the back just call to us back ???? Like uhhh okay ? It was just the fact of how rude he was i don’t know if he was trying to flirt with the girl but come on don’t be rude especially when at the end of my purchase I wasn’t rude or said anything mean back to you, could’ve been a karen but wasn’t . But I love this store never had a problem until today .

Always have great convenient japanese food for the person on the go. Not overpriced either

Incredibly safe and social distanced. Staff is wonderful and they’re always helpful.

I drive about 30 minutes to get here but well worth it. We just love Japanese food and snacks! This store is full of products imported from Japan, lots of choices for everything you can think of groceries, hot/cold food ready to eat options, soups, teas, beauty products. The hair conditioners from Japan are my favorite and they have a good selection. I come here for Japanese teas, soups, hair products and snacks!

Great place to shop for groceries

Wow!! A lot of merchandise! A lot of selection! Yes! Extra low low price!! ILL BE BACK!!

Food price is good. However its underground parking is extremely Horrible, old and shabby. The WOREST part is Marukai market won’t give you a validation if you shop less than $25. And there is no sign and explanation in the market or the parking lot for this rule. This is really weird. So people shop less for 25 bucks is not a customer for your market???I’m ok with paying for parking, but if you don’t give a clear sign and let people know there is minimum requirement for a parking validation, then provide validation to ALL your customers.Tips: choose street parking for your safety or never come back.

Best Japanese Market no doubt.

Great place to get a quick bento to go and all those rare Japanese snacks, candies, even my favorite bath salts!

Actual market. Great for Japanese cooking.

Clean store in the heart of Japanese Square downtown. Loved the pick up and go packed meals, the variety of imported drinks, loved that they had Hawaiian Sun drinks and quality sushi grade tuna. They validate parking with a purchase of over 25.00 and have a frequent buyers discount card program similar to other markets. Will save my appetite next time to try out more ready made food items.

Fun place to shop. Got sushi, dark and white chocolate and rice crackers along with some tea. But we like the sushi better at the nearby Korean market which was not open today.

Probably the best selection in LA! Everything here is really wonderful but the prices can go kind of high on some things! If you just go for Japanese candy, this place wont disappoint. Parking is a pain and you can only get it validated if you pay 30 dollars.

Very nice shop, good prices.

This is my go-to grocery store. Always fresh and I love the fish section. They also give you discounts on fresh meals after 6pm. My favourite!

As always loved it! The help friendly and professional

Very good market with a good small selection of Japanese products and groceries. Covid safe market. Clean and safe inside and out. Very good.

The variety is awesome, they have foreign beers and such. The food bowls are great but if your trying to go for the after 7pm deal the nicer stuff may be gone by that time.

Decent little grocery store with sushi to go in Little Tokyo.

So many proper Japanese ingredients, snacks and sweets! A good staple for LA

Top Japanese market outside of Japan.

This place started off as a quick stop on the way home to grab something but has turned into our full fledged grocery store. Not a huge selection but the stuff they do stock spot on. The staff is great and ever since they upped their butcher game, I dont really need to shop anywhere else.

Found this little jem while traveling through West LA. They had some nice Japanese Bento boxes prepared that rivaled the ones we had in Japan while traveling on the bullet trains. Parking it a bit tough to find, but let the valet know you are here for the market.

My favorite place in little Tokyo area. Definitely worth the visit, please check out curry house if you have the time. They don’t disappoint!

Didnt have what I needed. Looks like they are not restocking as much. Nijiya on the otherhand had all items I was needing so I bought the missing ones there.

After my job, I went to the store to buy some of the personal items I need. Theyve got everything I like, and I havent lost one. The attendant I requested to please me, and that makes me feel overwhelmed. Thank you very much!

Smaller community grocery store compared to regular grocery chains, although they still stock most of the things you need (at a slightly higher price, however). Specializes in groceries/ingredients for Japanese cooking. Youll haveta wait in line outdoors and have you temperature checked before entering. Service is really friendly.

Really good market. After being in love with Japanese combini stores, this market takes me back. Snacks, drinks, food, ingredients, you name it. They have here whatever you need from Japan.

Great place for Asian goods. Prices are comparable. Good service. Staff is helpful

Best Japanese Market around DTLA imo. Sushi is fresh, variety is awesome. Milks teas, snacks, fruits, alcoholic beverages, sweets, noodles..and everything else.

Love this store. If​ you need something special and cannot find it anywhere else -- chances are that they have it here. Especially old world specialties​ ... minced meats, lime pickle, mint sauce, rye bread. A great meat and cheese deli, a great lunch counter... just go and check it out for yourself!

Great friendly place with authentic Japanese food and imported selected Japanese food to make at home or eat. They have premade meals to eat, have all sorts of traditional Japanese utensils and kitchenware.Staff are friendly and helpful. All in a good price.

Came here for the first time today, loved it. You will too if you love japanese finds

Love this marker and validated parking makes it better! Lots of my favorite Japanese items like take away sushi, sweets, vegetables, etc.
