Great produce but the meat is a little pricey. You can definitely find all the ingredients to make ramen soup and spring rolls. Great prepared food and meat ready to cook
This might be the only place where one could see tuna cutting in LA. Other than that still a great seafood market!
Very cool to see a new Toyko themed Marketplace, but I was a bit disappointed. It is very run down and most of the businesses inside are closed. I walked a few blocks down and there was a much better Little Tokyo outdoor mall. Dont mistake Tokyo Marketplace with Toyko Mall..
Its gone down hill. Still a fun experience if you are new to this type of market but not as good as it was before the many changes. Seems like this place had an identity crisis and is trying to please everyone and no one at the same time.
I think it’s one of the best asian grocery supermarkets.You can get pretty much anything you want, in a bulk, or single. They also have a Nature Republic store right there, awesome bakery corner, where at the end of the day you can get a nice deal as buy 2 get 1 for free.They have prepared foods and little places where you can order noodles, or sushi.
I like the supermarket there. Always a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits.Also they have nice choice of beef to make Korean bbq
I like that place! Close location to downtown Los Angeles. Friendly staff, great variety of tasty food to choose. I would recommend that place to visit at least once to become a fan of that place.
One of my favorite supermarkets in LA! Excellent selection of basically everything Japanese and Korean with lots of staples on top of that. Great quality produce!
It has a great and wonderful environment! Love coming here for the sale prices! I love getting my different types of food like ramen, fruits seafood and the beverages. Great staff
I like this market place not because it looks like other supermarkets in town, but the variety it has offered in the store. From the fruits , meats and household goods to the restaurants inside the Market have offered to its customers. This store is located inside the building that has many stores surrounding. One stop shopping as they said . It also very close to little Tokyo or arts districts, so you have many choices to visit. Store was very neat and clean as the foods they have prepared. They all looked very delicious and great. Either you like cooked foods or uncooked one they have them ready for you.
Doing groceries shopping here.The cashier who is doing the sushi is great.Salmon sushi is delicious.
Favorite asian market, things you can make at home with the right ingredients from market
A lot of delicious food but some things cost more than the other market down the street.
Love Little Tokyo... one of my favorite places in L.A. It has a fantastic market with fresh everything. Gift shops are really fun.
Now it might be little tricky to get in but it is a thriving place to survive. I like it’s energy and it’s will.
Love that tgey have such of variety things. Place is always clean and staff is always friendly. Love it here. Always shop when I come put to this part of town
Its all great, because it has a lot of shops! And has a lot of ethnic groups!
Large variety of fresh fruit and vegetables. Mix of Japanese and other Asian ingredients
Love this place great deals and a great place to start learning about another culture. The sushi and the hot food area is by far the best place in my eyes.
Very clean and organized with many options for Asian vegetables, spices, noodles, fruits, fresh meat, and seafood options. I always stop here for my sashimi craving when I dont feel like going to a restaurant. Has a couple of in-house hot food deli. Grocery store is attached to other restaurants and stores. If you park in the garage make sure to get validate, sometimes the booth attendant will noticed and let you park thr 90 minutes for free, other times the attendant just wants money and will not be as accommodating or polite.
Ive been going to this place for years now, its a very large and well stocked Asian grocery store. I say asian grocery store before theres quite a Korean influence here, as well as the plaza as a whole. Why? Thats a cultural question for another day.Anyway, its a great shopping experience. You can park on the street, or in the parking structure adjacent to the shopping center. Raw fish, sea food, milk tea, prepared meals, sake🍶, soju, beer, wine, chips, and all sorts of other things. But no toilet paper, paper towels, detergent, etc cetera, I mean come on, get real, thats just not what this place is about. . . Id be very surprised is they wasted real estate on non-food items.This store is well staffed, even with the longest of lines, its usually a very orderly experience, people progress in a steady pace. You can get validation at check out. The receipt 🧾 they will give you is itemized, and even categorized, name another store that does that! One thing I appreciate greatly is how they list their specials/sales, large font on a piece of paper, printed in color and clearly displays the discount period. This is great because I dont have to get close to the shelf to read it.Did I mention the store within a store they pull off here? Talk about consolidation.Honestly, sometimes I just like shopping here for the hardwood floors.
Its a cool place to come visit. But they close bowling at 10:15pm and we wasnt aware and we were pretty bum out. They should have it on their website. Other then that fun place
He very rude security asked me to leave the place, I was obviously with my small electric scooter turned off. he was very rude i will not go again.. i prefer to go to other places where they have more tolerant policies
Has everything for your oriental needs. I love the show that they have for the tuna on Saturdays. This fish is nice and fresh. They also have a nice food spot and ready to eat lunches that you can pick up here. All in all, you can find some of the more obscure ingredients at this location. Give it a try!
Great asian market here in little tokyo.Love coming here when I make my rare excirsions down there.They have so many cool things ranging from ice creams, sushi fish, fantastic and fresh seafood, great produce and so much more! You really have to check the place out for yourself! They even have some eateries inside the market itself and of course a lovely bakery! Lots of stuff here you cant find anywhere else in LA! Place is kept very clean and orderly. Staff are pretty friendly!
Came here for ponzu sauce and some ramen. Theres plenty of ramen, and several choices of ponzu sauce. Theres also plenty of produce, sushi/fish, and there are even some restaurants inside.
Surrounded by allot of history, great food, great place to walk and spend a day out.
I really enjoy going to this market its almost like being in Japan wonderful produce fantastic fresh fish meets and a whole array of Japanese as well as all kinds of other groceries they have a little food bar bakery its a wonderful experience and a fun time
Love going there to do all my grocery shopping! Anything your looking for youll find here at Little Tokyo Market Place.
I love it!!!!The market is very interesting and you can find anything comes from the far East.The food court is so nice.You can find in one of the best sushi restaurants in LA, or also cheap, good and fresh food.
Great grocery store with many Japanese and Korean goods. Dont forget to validate for free parking!
This place is great, Ive been going here for over a decade. Theyve recently added a security guard to help with the lines. Everything about this place is fantastic EXCEPT the ineptitude of a particular cashier. Shes been working there for over 5 years I believe and her performance has not improved.When I was there today, she started helping someone else who had a problem with their transaction. Thats fine but it took much longer and she could have rerouted me to another cashier. Instead I had to ask the kind security guard to do so.She is consistently bad at her job, I dont know why she still works there. It seems her fellow cashiers get the customers in and out and the times Ive been there shes always had a problem with one of her transactions.
I love it here. Lots of places to shop and plenty of Asian savory kitchens ready to fire up a delicious order for you :)
Fantastic Japanese market in the heart of little Tokyo. Visit for staple Japanese kitchen items or just for the fun candy selection. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. Free parking with validation from the market. Its situated in a great Japanese mall that contains numerous other shops. Highly recommend checking them all out!
Free 90 min parkinging if shop at the supermarket or eating by stamping the parking ticket. Best in downtown.
This place offers a lot to see for not having too many shops. I will definitely go back.
I go to the store in a regular basis. Their selection of vegetables and fruits are fresh. The supermarket is very clean staff are friendly. There is also a bakery a sushi place and a hot food selection in the supermarket. The supermarket is located inside the building with many other stores surrounding it. I would definitely recommend going there.
Nice biz. Honest and helpful owner couple to buy Chinese New Years decorations, etc. Good prices too!
I don’t understand why they don’t call it Little Soul. It is a Korean supermarket. A bit disappointed as I was looking for a Japanese meal. Cake - not real whipping cream but butter cream. That was the biggest disappointment. It was kind of expensive too:(. Japanese cake should be all covered with real dairy whipping cream!
Great produce, meats, seafood and Korean foods. Theres a decent selection of Japanese food as well. Parking is simple in the attached structure. With validation its free for the first hour. Another validation from a second shop in the mall will get you a second free hour.
Me and my 19 month girl was told “ you crazy people need to get out of my store” by a security , around the entrance area. Don’t get me wrong, I was about to put on my mask, but I was not going to suffocate my baby from it. You people need to know that it’s not a law to put a 19 month old baby with a mask.
Very clean very nostalgic. Lots of history here and need to keep it alive for future generations
Its pretty good. If u like Japanese stuff like me u will like it.
I like coming to this market just to try something new and exotic. Always fun to visit the other stores too!🙂💯
Great place to shop plenty of stores a nice grocery store with a wide variety of products and lots of great places to eat
Pleasant experience all around. Im making Mongolian beef and Teriyaki chicken, so I needed few ingredients that I knew Id find here. I found every variety of sauce, marinade, and flavoring that could overwhelm some people. But if you know what your looking for than you have plenty of options. Everything is clearly labeled (in English👍🏼), aisles are clean and organized. Produce looked fresh. I had someone who spoke broken English help me find corn starch, and this very kind man didnt hesitate to try helping me. The cashier was pleasant and reminded me about validating my parking stub. Easy, shaded, and free parking by the way. They even have places to grab a bite from that are tempting. Reasonable prices. Im definitely returning.
Fantastic place! Excellent customer service, efficient process.
Love the Japanese culture and the unique restaurants and shops.
Great marketplace! Clean and well stocked. We actually go here often for the SUSHI over at the far left side of the store. Very affordable, fresh, and generous size of sushi!
Its a really nice place to take pictures. I really enjoyed the sunset view. It looks beautiful! I totally recommend this place.
Bliss Bakery is on par with Bogetta Louie at much better prices!
Pretty much everything you need for a 3 star Michelin Meal. Bon apetit.
This store made me feel really at ease when I was shopping. They always have fresh beef, chicken, and seafood available, which I always purchase. It was a fun and safe environment.
Daiso is a fabulous little store to shop for interesting items. The food stand in the market is better than some of the restaurants.
Love the market there with so many different kind of noodle or hot food
Great place. Inside is clean and safe. Outdide is a bit sketchy. A few homeless will bother you when you walk in. But thats Downtown for ya! Wide selection of vegan-friendly goods. Fast cashiers.
This store’s security physically threatened my friend while she was shopping here. She was casually going to pick up an item when the security followed her and then started harassing and bullying her. I used to frequent this place but won’t ever shop here again, and am advising all my friends to stay away as well. This store has shown a pattern of harassment documented across several reviews. I would strongly discourage against anyone from visiting this store.
Very nice. People were socially distance. At first it felt crowed, but like 6 PM it was nicer. We walk all arounf we ate sushi and ice cream. Very nice. Very happy place.
Best grocery store for the Arts district. This hidden gem is the only way locals can survive because packed expensive restaurants are not useful for those of us who live there. The produce if often great, the premade foods in the back are good and the takeout restaurants in the front are great for a quick cheap meal. I recently moved to a different part of downtown but I still come here because its so good.Free validated parking is a plus.
Much larger than I was expecting for a market downtown! Great produce section, had pretty much everything I could need. Havent explored much of the rest of the market, but looking forward to seeing what else they have to offer in future visits.
I wish this location had more shops.I usually just visit diaso at this Markey.The elevator is scary 😨 FYI
Probably the largest grocery store in Little Tokyo. Its tucked away in the mall area which is about a block away from Weller Court and the other popular locations. That means theres usually no crowds which is pretty nice. The location is huge and theres tons of fresh produce and difficult to find items. The fish that they sell is sushi grade and they have some pretty exotic cuts of meat available. Prices are fair.
This used to be my favorite spot in the area for groceries... until security harassed my friend.after seeing how poorly the security guards treat and harass people, and how the employees see it and don’t care, i’m never coming back.they treated my friend who has been coming hear for over a year like a thief because she was looking at cat food. is being thorough about your cat’s nutrition suspicious behavior?they harassed her to the point of her crying. and pulled out MACE to threaten her.all because they assumed she was stealing cat food?, after they’d already been following her around and profiling her? waiting for her to steal and being proven wrong, yet still following? being in your pajamas must be suspicious behavior.why did the employees watch it all while refusing to help? and why are there multiple bad reviews about this, while nothing is changing?we’re both never coming back and telling all our friends to never come back until this place changes this toxic customer service dynamic.
Nice place to find unique items and exquisite cuisines within the downtown perimeters. The scene now is different due to the COVID-19 pandemic and not every store is open but some stores are open and taking precautions. Still fun to walk around, will be back for the exotic supermarkets with their varieties of products available. Like always ill be back.
Its a bit of a drive for me, but its always worth it. When I need specific ingredients or hard-to-find products, I can rely on LTMP for what I need. I even found the brand of rice Im super picky for! The staff is friendly and helpful, and the location is in a nice location if you have friends or family with you who want to wander about. Great varieties for drinks and noodles. Sweets are also high on the list, but I also like going to the bakery within the side of the market. They have persimmons here, which are super hard for me to find elsewhere! Prices can be high depending on the item, but that value depends on how much you need it.
Nice store with some good choices in sushi and poke in the catering section.
My husband and I stopped here for a lunch break as part of a LA Day Tour. Totally amazing place with plenty of food vendors and places to eat. The larger market itself was too big to walk around in our allotted time but looked very large and impressive. Hard to believe this is in the middle of a heavily populated area.
Love this little gem, they have a great fresh produce section with great variety. Organic health and beauty products, large fish , meat and seafood section and availability. In house dining, as well as freshly made quick pick meal options. Connected to a little mall thats filled with other delicious restaurants and food vendors and other shops. Just remember to get your parking validation, I think its like $8 an hour there.
I love this place they have everything restaurants great food fresh vegetables, fruits and their meat department have great cuts non marinated and Korean bbq ready to cook, and wonderful customer service
The atmosphere of this place is outa this world. Although the day was very hot reaching 95°! They had a great A/C so thats a plus, but not only that they had so many places to eat! I recommend a spot in the food market area that sells Poki bowls very cheap and very delicious also! Ill be coming back soon!
Great stores...good restaurants 👌
I go here once or twice a month to get the hot bento. I travel up to 3 hours one way because it is so delicious and I can use EBT when I am desperate. I now have my boyfriend addicted to their salmon bento.
We love to go there👍❤we celebrated my wifes birthday at MANNAS it was so delicious buffet and a warm atmosphere ,hopefully we go there x my birthday too.
Cant wait to go there. Love sushi,Japanese culture,and the women I am looking forward to seeing/meeting
The selection of Asian ingredients here is staggering. If you every want to learn how to cook Asian food you cant go wrong coming here. The also have a great selection of Sake! The place is surrounded by excellent restaurants so its well worth the trip considering they also validate 2h parking in the multi-store parking right beside.
Love shopping in the market behind. Also Daiso inside has cute stuff. Cant forget the Sancho massaging chair near the escalator. All. Fun 3 in 1.
I go to this Market pretty much every time Im in Little Tokyo. Their selection of food and snacks are incredible and the prices are very good. They have a huge selection of fish and seafood. Theres even a little restaurant inside of the market and the food there is pretty good, too. If youre looking to buy Japanese food (or food from pretty much any Asian region, for that matter) this is a place you definitely need to check out.
Very kool! I love how its hidden inside of a garage. I would have never seen it a friend of a friend of mine didnt find it for me. Its attached to the Japanese Plaza which did you see my review for that I highly recommend people getting out of the house and coming to see this area.
Supa maketo!!! Awesome products from Japan and Malaysia and other great asian food essentials. A bit expensive but, the food and sauces and seafood found there are like shopping in an outside Okinawa street market. Take it from me, its one of my favorite stores in downtown Los Angeles.
Easily the best produce in town 10/10
Excellent service n staff members are helpful n friendly. Clean but slightly pricey yet worth the quality of goods sold
Good sales and great selection. There are several Japanese grocery stores in the area, but this one is definitely unique. It has a good mix of Japanese, Korean, and American goods. There is a bakery with great fresh goods and a section for fresh seafood. There is also a good assortment of smaller eateries within and a second floor for housewares.
Great selection of Korean, Japanese and American grocery items. The produce department is well stocked with Western standards as well as pan Asian favorites. The employees at friendly and helpful however the security staff are racist, argumentative and generally unfriendly if you are any ethnicity other than Asian you will be rudely ordered to check any bags you may be carrying. My last experience was so bad that I have gone from being a regular customer to rarely visiting.
Everyone had something interesting to eat. My husband had some sort of enormous burrito, my kids had pad siew from Sticky Rice and I had a bento box from the Japanese Bento spot. We also bought some candy and enjoyed walking around.
I love the marketplace. There is a lot of good quality food. There meat is very fresh perfect of bbq and more. The veggies are perfect for some of my favorite Japanese dishes.
While I want to love this place. It is not at its full potential. Lines around the corner to get into shopps with stuff from the 100 yen store for $5.99. Fun for a trip but the neighborhood needs some revitalizing.
Fun place to be the parking is the definition of compact first 30 min for free of u buy smn from the stores
Impressively large selection of Imported Foods (both the fresh ones and some packaged) from Korea, Japan, Vietnam... all that part of Asia.Live and fresh large lobsters, large crabs and more, inside tanks which are caught as one chooses!Good fish market inside.Theres also Bakery, Noodle bar and Mexican eatery inside (last 2 serving food till 8-8.30 PM).Get your parking ticket stamped at the till, to get 2-hour free parking.
Overall a nice grocery store with other little shops in it as well. Bakery is pretty good. So far main pain point is when trying to find certain ethnic things outside of Asian stuff its not always available. There is Ralphs or whole foods close enough by for that though.
This place has been like three different markets over the years but has always been a great spot to get your Korean or Japanese groceries. They also have a lot of prepared goods ready to purchase too if you need something on the go. The produce has also always been awesome great place to shop for groceries.
The name will deceive you. It is now own and operate by Koreans, all food vendor inside also are Koreans. They carrying mostly Korean grocery. Not so much of Japanese stuff. But the quality is always good, especially the fish and the sushi spot inside is reasonable and fresh.
The Little Tokyo Market Place is one of my #Favorite places to shop! They have great stores in the main mall area, fast Japanese food shops, but my must-go-to is the medium sized super market!! They offer authentic Japanese dishes in the food court, frozen meat (mostly fish), a variety of sake from very low to very high end qualities and best of all the exquisite Japanese delicacies shoppers could only imagine. It’s truly a time warp experience!!
Lots of street food and interesting shops.
It is interesting place to visit.There are some authentic Japanese restaurants and also has korean restaurants,too. When I was waiting for my friend who is always late, I was able to look around daiso. Lol
Its a little odd to see a Korean market in a Japanese mall but I guess it fulfills the need of an Asian market.The market is decent in size and there are several eateries inside the market along with a bakery. The markets sells American, Japanese and Korean products. If you are into making your own hot pot, they sell individually wrapped ingredients like meats and vegetables.The market provides two hour parking validation if you shop at the market.
Get burrito number one. All of the flavors perfectly combine and nothing overpowers anything else. Fresh and GENIUS.Also the people were SO NICE. Everything is clean and modern. I hope they do really well! I think they will.
Great market if looking for Asian staple food goods if in the area. The prices are not ridiculously high, nor is it crazy cheap. It doesnt have everything, but it has enough to get the job done. Its the best option for an Asian grocer in the downtown area. Has a decent sized food court, with a small variety of restaurants including a decent priced poke bowl place.I shop here frequently, since I work nearby, to get basic food goods when I know I wont have time to go elsewhere. This is also probably your best-bang-for-your-buck place to get lunch at the food court if looking to avoid the crazy prices around the Arts District or Little Tokyo. I definitely recommend if you are in the area and looking for Asian grocery or a cheaper lunch.
Best grocery store in DTLA by far. Produce is cheaper than Ralphs, cleanliness is comparable. Good selection for Japanese and Korean cooking but not great for Chinese ingredients. Always has some varieties of fruits that arent available at other stores downtown and are extra tasty.
Very good selection of various Asian snacks, foods, and beverages. Store is relatively clean and items appear fresh. The market does appear to have a higher ratio of Korean products compared to other Asian countries sources, such as Chinese, Japanese, or Vietnamese.
There are so many different type of shops! Most validate parking if you spend $10 or more. You can buy ceramics, houseplant, groceries, go bowling, etc. Its a nice break from the heat.
Chinatown cool but Little Tokyo is awesome. Theres just something kind of grungy about Chinatown.Skidrokyo on the other hand.
Nice little Korean market with some Japanese goods. Really good prices on the produce and the quality comparable to a food4less. 1 hour parking validation. The sushi being sold in the market is pretty good same Japanese lady from years ago
This place is so lay back and relaxing, they got everithing here but my favorite place is a pancacke stand in the outside they are delicious specially the ones with seeds in the inside it gives them a satisfying crunch your taste buds
This is MY local grocery store, and I love it. Best produce and meats with fresh seafood counters. Plenty of food court options, from tacos, ramen and extremely good kombucha bar. Not to mention yummy snack food items. Parking structure on site.
Location is perfect. Great staff, they validate parking if you spend a minimum of $25. It has ready to eat food, they also provide microwave to heat up your food and they have an area where you can eat. Very convenient.
Great market! Korean run so lots of Korean specific goods here despite being in little Tokyo but definitely all of the Japanese items youd want as well. Dont miss Bliss Bakrery inside as well, amazing bread.
Love this place, great market lots of choices. Especially love the meals at Sakura noodle.
Are at mana - generally a decent experience. The grocery store is kind of running out of a lot of normal staples.
Go to place downtown for market items, beer, wine... 2 hour validated parking from Woori Market with purchase. Pricey is the reason 4 stars not 5 stars. Good selection of fresh produce, has bakery and eating establishments in the market as well.
This is a great Asian supermarket with best market sushi in town. Meat is not their strong suit but okay. Good but not great selection. Good location with validated parking. There are many other things to check out in the attached mall.
Was a nice market, and even though it says its a Japanese one, there were many different food options, especially Korean. They even had a vegan section! Its a nice market to stop by if you are craving Asian food, but dont want to go to a restaurant.
I probably wont be coming to this store anymore. Because this store is so close to skid row there are homeless people that wonder in the store which is just what it is. THE SECURITY GUARD THAT WORKS HERE SHOULD HAVE TRAINING AND PROPER DILIGENCE TO SAFELY REMOVE THEM FROM THE STORE, if they are causing a disturbance. Human decency and empathy is important here. When I was there yesterday the security guard was gonna pepper spray and beat the homeless man WITH PEOPLE AND CHILDREN RIGHT NEXT TO THEM. The pepper spray would have injured half the customers at the front of the store while escalating the situation. Train these security guards and stop just hiring your uncles and cousins to do a somewhat serious job. I prefer California Market or Zion Grocery anyway. This store smells bad.
Foot traffic was relatively light in the Marketplace. No sale pricing as before probably because of the port issues.
U must go here while in LA. Lots of shopping, great places to find souvenirs or unique little gifts to bring back home. We felt safe walking around here, lots of security. B prepared to do lots of walking. As its very difficult to find parking.
Great place to come visit if you are into good food, they have a lot of different types of Asian food places. As well some shops and a market to buy different things from Japan and Korea.
I used to come here to the deli before work. But now, they never have anything I can eat. The Korean Pancakes are always gone by noon. (Why not make more? Everything else has meat or fish in it. I also find it strange that they add sugar unnecessarily to things. All organic or healthy food is very inflated in price. About 10 times Ive come here to get food for work and have a miserable day because there is nothing good. They need more vegan selection thats not just brown rice.
Incredibly good salmon at very reasonable prices. Great seafood and produce in general and of course Asian foods. Though it looks like a regular super market it is missing some things you might normally expect but at the same time you will find some things you just wont find at other places. Its kind of a weird mix of Asian and hipstery products like kombucha.
Weekends are best for fish. I have seen them have bluefin with fresh toro. Large variety of fresh fruit and vegetables. Mix of Japanese and other Asian ingredients. I think it at one time this was a Japanese centric store but now is more Korean oriented. Prices are good. They also do tasting stations of various things they sell.
This Asian market is a great place to get a variety of Asian products such as Japanese, Korean and Chinese products. Fresh produce, sea food and meats as well. You can find some Japanese sukiyaki, wagyu beef, sushi, Korean BBQ, bulgogi and more. Plenty of parking and you get one hour free with validation. This market is inside a mall where there are other places to shop and look around as well.
We visited Shojin, a vegan restaurant, it was really good. I didnt miss meat. The service was amazing. The staff was friendly. DONT judge a book by its cover. Its inside of the market/ shopping plaza. The Ambiance alone sets Shojin apart from the market. When you first see Shojin they look as if theyre closed or under construction, but when you step past the curtains its beautiful and peaceful inside. They have some really good artwork as well.
I honestly fell in love with this place. I had lived in Japan for about a year and visiting here made me reminisce about my time abroad. The shops are super cute, they have amazing places to eat, and the bakery and super market provide you with such a variety in terms of Japanese styled snacks. Seriously this was the place I loved most while staying in LA. If you are interested in ALT fashion I think they have some sort of meet up every 2 Saturday if the month, which is really cool cause you get to meet people who are into the same things. This place is also a weebs haven, plenty of hobby shops from collector to cosplay. I could go on and on but most people dont read this much xD
Saw a schizophrenic dancing around and making noise.Went into a store with a police officer next to it for literally less than a minute.Walk back out and him and the police officer are nowhere to be seen within a mile.This place is dope.
A large Asian market with a fairly good selection of goods. Prices are reasonable. Be sure to try the bakery and the sushi shop in the back. The sushi is actually pretty good and even my wife recently from Japan liked it. That says a lot.
Amazing selection of items only usually available in Japan. There is an entire aisle dedicated to ramen and more choices of sake than you think could exist.Some regular stuff costs a bit more than, say, Ralphs (milk or produce for example), but youre probably only going here for rarer items anyway.Free two hour parking in the outdoor lot makes you feel like a god. (with validation obviously; were still downtown)Ill be going back.
I love this place so much! Im come here often to buy my 10-20lb bag of rice. They also have in house mini restaurants one sells sushi the other sales Korean street food/Asian influenced food and the other has ramen,udon and other noodles. The spicy seafood soup is BOMB!! I would totally recommend that! The groceries they sell here is afordable and tasty if you know how to combine it well with other ingredients. Also they have a wide variety of puffed rice snacks👌👌
You can get all you need - from groceries to household & kitchen items and much more; have a fast food area too if you need to grab something to eat (take-out or dine-in). They also have a dollar store which features Japanese items from school supplies to kitchenwares; actually a Mini Mall and easily accessible being on a main road. They have a building for paid parking & a non-payment area as well.
Once a thriving Japanese American inspired mall, they have been taken over by a new influx of Korean American influence and investors. There are some old school shops and eateries remaining to keep the charm. Ramen, Udon, and the remaining sushi restaurants are truly authentic. The return of the bowling alley feels like homage to their roots, and of the course the best thing is a karaoke joint to sing your hearts content.
The place isnt too busy this time around and it was so cool for me to choose the best for me. I was so pleased with the pants I bought and the style was so beautiful. Ill be returning to this location again.
Great prices of sushi plates to go in the market
Love to come to this place, specially for the food
Little Tokyo Market Place is one of my favorite places to visit ever since I was a child. If you are looking to get your Japanese food fix this is the place you want to visit. There is always something to find and do.
The quality in the produce dept is excellent. Both in cleanliness and freshness. The whole store is well kept, but upon entering you are greeted by a wave of colors. Prices are inline with other similar grocery stores.
I love this store. Prices are good and they carry so many Asian items.They also have a food court serving Asian fare and tacos as well. Also this place does not take American Express.
Little pricey but good produce and good quality products
Always a great place to stop by for a quick lunch or for grocery shopping. The market has a good amount of varying types of beer and quick eats. The plaza next door has a few restuarants and Daiso which is a nice bonus. Used to be my go-to lunch spot when I worked in the neighboring area.
The Little Tokyo Market Place is a nice pleasurable place to shop, visit and enjoy the sights, sounds and tastes. It is all ages fun and entertainment as well as an educational experience. The prices on some items and stores is a bit high. There are bargains everywhere.
I have been shopping here for many years and just like everyone else said, the selections of food, including fresh meat and fish along with variety of noodles is always something to enjoy. The food sections is a place me and a few co-workers every now and then enjoy when we have time to sit down and enjoy delicious meal as this was close to work. Tonight after long hours from work my 3 kids were with me to do our grocery and to pick up some ready to eat meal. After paying for the items, my son wanted to eat his chicken with rice so I decided to ask for a fork since there are few stall here that cater and this are ready for customers who buy meals here. I politely went to Poki to ask for a fork only to find out the ready meal I grabbed was from another sections, rather than being polite and maybe just hand me a small fork for my son, he said go see the cashier because this is not a food he sold. I stood inline again as to not interrupt the same cashier I paid my grocery and meal, he referred me to the manager to get a fork otherwise I will need to buy a box of forks. I thought he was joking so I said you got to be kidding right? He said no, if you need a fork you need to see a manager..OMG........ so with the security gentlemen shaking his head for how I am being treated after I just paid my grocery and to think I have been coming here for years. I would have just grabbed the fork my self but they are behind the server. I cant believe I was made to see a manager to ask for a fork as I was not going to buy a box of fork so my son can enjoy the hot food they just sold us. The manager tried to explain that these are vendors and if they did not sell the food, they will not give me a fork. I cant believe the explanation the manager just gave me but after the embarrassing situations, he went and got me a fork. I told the manager Mr. Terry Lee that I have been a loyal customer and I can not believe they will compromise over a fork that they should have provided anyway. Needless to say, after so many years, I will never come back here again. There is no loyalty to customers and there seem to be no importance as how to treat the customer. I was respectful and advise the manager that I will be writing about my experience. I returned the groceries and everything else the kids bought but I kept the food because the kids were hungry. I explained to Mr. Lee that I am returning what I have purchased out of principle and to show how I felt about the treatment. This was a good place for us for many years, too bad they are not customer focused and I did not know that they will go to this length over a plastic fork for my boy. For what ever it is worth, I would like to thank the security gentlemen who apologized to my family and felt bad about what the store did who was there the whole time, you sir was the reason I didnt lose all my cool this evening and I thank you..
This is one of the long established markets in the DTLA area.The market has a pretty good fresh produce and meat department. There is a wide variety of Asian snacks and products. You should not overlook their beer or soft drinks selection.The market is a short walk from the Little Tokyo/Arts District Gold line station. The Little Tokyo Galleria has a parking structure and the market offers parking validation.
A place worth to explore for Japanese snacks, goods and house appliances. Pay attention to the discount products. But the cashier are very bad.
Excellent selection of Asian foods, including fresh-made poke bowls to order.
Great Japanese supermarket.
Great store! Good selection.
Love coming to this place for lunch. They have a quick service hot foods area and poke. They also have a ready made hot foods section next to the Korean bbq area if anyone didnt know. Usually will get that since its already made. The bakery is great, fully stocked with delicious baked goods (love the curry croquette if im not too hubgry for lunch). Grocery section is awesome as well. Ill come to get my Asian snacks and foods that I cant find at a regular supermarket.You can get your parking validated if you go to the market or any of the stores outside. Structure gets full during lunch so parking in the lot off alameda and 4th is suggested. Validated as well!
I go for the cafeteria. Good ramen and soba.... I mean, not excellent mind blowing, but for the price, its amazing. I eat here often. The shelves are well stocked and the place is clean, no surprises there.
I LOVE this place. Really awesome prices on fruits and veg and other essentials. Some things like almond milk and other specialty goods are a bit more pricey. Excellent weekly deals so check before you shop.
Such authentic ingredients and goods. A great spot for everything you need!
Great Great place to be . Fresh veggies and fruits are very fresh and cost is not that expensive , survive is A+ very friendly stuffs
Best place to buy Sushi and Sashimi. All made in store so the cost is ridiculously cheap! And really good too! Also only place I know that has everything I need for Korean BBQ!
This used to cater to mainly the Japanese community. Sometime back a few years I believe the new owners not being Japanese but theyre Asian. Stuff I grew up getting here are not as prevelant as when I was Elementary school til I was about 40. They do accept EBT cards which is very nice.
Really big store. Plenty of food and snack options. Theres also fresh and live fish. They got a bunch of ramuné : ) which i stocked up on
Love this super market with its very different far east vegetables, fruits and everything else Japanese, Korean etc.
There’s security everywhere and makes me feel a bit safer but, the environment itself just feels lonely, there are homeless walking in and out. The security keep them moving but, nonetheless makes me want to hold on to my wallet and bags of purchases closer.
Love it here! I feel like I’m bad in Japan, with awesome food and shopping options. It’s also just nice to sit and take in the ambience. Red bean cakes are amazing.
When I need my Sushi ingredientsIm here at this lovely MarketFresh Produce Fresh Fish and many Asian Items that hard to find somewhere elseParking is free with ValidationThere are few Food Stores insideNoodles, Poke, Korean , BakeryGood to combine Shopping and eating
Im giving a low rating for the shady area and thecresturant went to was very miss leading. Pictures were accurate and neither was menu. Restaurant had minimum vegan options . Location was in the heart of skid row, felt very unsafe
Amazing selection of Japanese products. There also seems to be a lot of new additions of Korean items. Fresh produce at low prices. Delicious, freshly made sushi and hot foods.
Im not the biggest fan for produce here; a few times that Ive bought fruit, they spoiled in a day or so. The few times I went in and tried to buy fruit, I questioned whether or not they were trying to rip people off by selling close to being spoiled stuff. Selection of veggies seem to be good, at least.
They don’t let you bring backpacks in the store, but when I took my bag to leave it at customer service they wanted me to just leave it on the front of their counter where anyone could walk by and take it. No thanks.
Love shopping here as you can find a variety of fruits and vegetables. Additionally, there is a variety of hot prepackaged foods as well as cold ones. I usually purchase seaweed or seafood salad, kimchi, pickled cucumbers, julienned radish, and squid. Also, which I love, is that I can buy tofu soup to make at home! Oh! Their kimbap is great, too! So is their japchae. There are a few restaurants inside the market which adds to the charm of this place.
Since discovering Little Tokyo Market Place, I don’t shop anywhere else for produce. I travel a lot to South East Asia and I can find a lot of nostalgic and affordable products here. ❤️
Excellent Asian market wide variety of Japanese and other Asian countries most popular items right here in Los Angeles.
Great Japanese market, where you can find all of your Japanese grocery needs including snacks, bentos, drinks, and more! Never had a bad experience here in the 4 or so years Ive been coming here on and off.
Manager started closing the door as I walked up to go in. Said he was closing because of the curfew announced 5 mins before.As I walked away another lady asked to go in. Initially he said no then she started talking to him in Korean. After hearing her speak Korean he opens the door and lets her in. SPECIAL TREATMENT BECAUSE SHES KOREAN!!!??? Fk that, Im going to Nijiya or Marukai from now on.
The food is great and there are some stores you can only find here (at least you can only find them next to each other here) plus if your looking for a place to park, most stores validate for up to 3 hrs.Park inside, spend some cash (little Tokyo plaza is within walkng distance) and return with all your loot.
Love it here because its convenient to walk to from laurel heights ucsf. I love coming here when i leave my debit card at home. i love how i can take out cash with my apple pay. life saver!!!!! I love the sandwiches!
Awesome 😎 place to shop and eat and just spend time with family and friends.
I could be in this place for hours!!! I was trying my hand at homemade sushi. The fish was unbelievably fresh. The albacore was the best I ever had. Highly recommended!
Have been going here for ages - its a great place. But today we bough some sushi rice, brought it home and discovered it was infested with insects. Post photos as proof. Wont be going back sadly.
The older guy at the fish counter was so rude and spiteful to me just because I had the nerve to ask for a price check on some fish. I was confused because the price tag was crossed out with a sharpie. Sir-Please dont take your bad mood out on other people, you have no right to be so unkind to strangers. The parking lot attendant, who was standing in the pouring rain, and probably earning less money for his time, was a happy man spreading kindness and joy. Maybe he could teach fish counter man how to be a human being?
Cashier let me look bad when i came to chech out i gave her all the stuff i want to buy it my son 2 years had bottle off water with him she ask me if the water part off them it was mine since we came that let me feel bad i did not recommended any one to go their especial if you are not part off the community!! She let me feel like iam steal the water bad experience!!
Two standout destinations here. An excellent full service Japanese market with marvelous produce, fresh whole fish and seafood and multiple independently owned sections with prepared food and a bakery; And.....Daiso, a Japanese discount store with more colorful, clever, individually packaged fun stuff for $1 and $2 than youve ever seen.
As a WOC and Im biracial, Im terrified to come in this store. If security is harassing customers and the staff does nothing, Ill go elsewhere for my crab
The market is very organized. They have fresh veggi and fruit. I like the korean beef and rib, very tasty. Packaged sashimi and sushi is good too.
Luv the daily freshness of meats& produces- vast selections with helpful employees! Luv shopping at this store,carry more than asian selections for clientle
Amazing store! Good quality product, fresh variety, and reasonable prices. Excellent customer service, clean market, and friendly worker. Easy location, and no problem with the parking lot.
Medium sized market filled with plenty of Asian style cuisine and ingredients also there is a bakery and small food court inside. And if your hungry for more just check out the rest of the shops in the mall located right next to the market.
Very much a specialty store, Japanese based goods. Were amused to find American based foods only sold in Japan, however. Specifically the candies..
Lots of nice little stores and restaurants, the people are nice and I especially love Beard Papas
They have so many things! I even bought Apple Soju, which is delicious. The associates were all do nice.
Picked up fruit for an elderly local resident, $4.50 worth, but market insisted I pay for parking because I spent less than $5.00. Had to spend more. For senior citizens on fixed incomes (and with no extra income available during this crisis), every penny counts. From now on, driving to Ralphs.
My usual Sunday - go to Hondaya - 3rd floor - at 5 pm sharp, to avoid the insane line of Izakaya enthusiastsAfter the meal - Daiso for school suppliesUtsuwa no yakata (Chinaware) - for gifts for friendsthen Beard Papa to go - for the next morning.All within 2 hrs. No parking fee!
Good price for organic fuji apple. Clean place
Largest market within walking distance for me. I love fish and it has a great selection of fresh fish, shrimp, lobster, and even geoduck.
They have a lot of cool foods and snacks. Plus they check your temp on the way in which makes me feel a little bit safer
Great store with friendly vibe, fair prices and ready made food stalls inside. Good produce and tons of pan Asian goods.
Super clean local market with quality meat and produce.Im guessing this market is owned by koreans because it reminds me of all the ones in ktown (clean, skin care products, frozen sliced meat, gochujang etc...) I find that they carry a wider selection of groceries than the other few markets in little tokyo since it is bigger.BONUS: there is a a little gem in there called Oh My Poki by the fridge aisle. Really fresh poke.
Love this place has all the best stores especially one that sells anime omg I always go their. The karaoke is the best too. My girlfriend and I always go here.
I like coming here for the reasonable priced seafood and a chance to find some quality produce on sale. The dentist in this mall is also pretty reasonable and it’s my go to place for all my seafood and dental needs.
Biased review, Ive been coming to this location since i was a child. They have everything. Bowling, arcade, Korean BBQ, Japanese foods, market place, massage chairs, frozen yogurt, ice cream and lots of parking.

2022-05-02Ample parking, the store is well organized and clean. I was excited about the variety of groceries to choose from. When i was done shopping i noticed that there were 3 register open. I went in like to the other register but the woman told me that the line is at the center on aisle 6 so i went to aisle 6. There were about 3 people in line in front of me. And saw the woman just took a man in same nationally and didnt ask him to go in line. Dont really know what to say afterwards. The people in line just shook their heads cause were waiting.

2021-08-12This is a must go for Southern California. If you want Japanese food, japanese drink, anime goods, otaku stuff, this is your place. I had great experience with food in here. You can easily find good restaurants just by walking around. My favorite stores are in the Honda plaza. You might find your favourite here as well.

2022-04-18Very cute and pleasant shop. This is not a sushi store but a Japanese goods store. It is full of sweets, sauces, noodles, and you can also buy beautiful food accessories. There are also cleaning chemicals. I went there for mochi and chocolate with green tea. Everything was very tasty :)

2022-08-22Love the Daiso store where majority of everything use to be $1.50. a sweet deal. But with oil prices and inflation they had to up the base price to $1.75 each item. Still a good buy!

2022-07-12Great variety of products/produce. The seafood market looks very clean and presentable because of the transparency.
