Always fresh produce, fresh meats and seafood. Also has prepared fresh sushi and other Asian cooked meals. A cooked food, buy per pound self serve section has plenty of offerings to make a full meal to go. All other food products are available one would expect to find from a Japanese market. Staff is extremely helpful in case there is something special that you can’t find in the store. I learned to go outside of lunch and evening hours when it’s less busy.

The beef here is of excellent quality and flavor, so I strongly suggest giving it a try. Additionally, with an assortment of sashimi, sushi, and assorted fried items, there are plenty of options for a light meal. They also carry a diverse selection of unique snacks.

Love this new Japanese groceries store. It has everything one needs regarding fresh groceries to prepared food to Japanese specialties. The quality and freshness of their seafood and produce is second to none. And every item is expertly prepared and packaged The store is clean and well stocked. There is no fish market smell or odors. Just full of the aroma of fresh cooked dishes. An absolute paradise for the hungry shopper. Their fish select includes fresh prepared sushi platters, sashimi, and a huge display of bento boxes and prepared dishes. There are a huge selection of produces not available in the corner grocery store. Their selection of Japanese candies and sweets are extensive. Mostly my wife and I enjoy going there and choosing from the Bento selection our favorite foods to take home. The best part is they are delicious and ready to eat and just the right portions. Of course the fish is extremely fresh.

Finally had the chance to come to this market, especially to check out the food court. Everyone should know this before coming, there’s NO place to eat inside the market like other locations. I thought the layout of the market was strange and chaotic with no designated sections. Back to the food court- hot foods were very good with many options, especially protein. It’s $10.99 a pound. The sushi section didn’t look as enticing as the other locations for some reason so I skipped it. We couldn’t find any cooked white rice, not sure if it was hidden or not available. But there’s fried rice and rice triangles available.

I visited Tokyo Central in July during the grand opening, and what an amazing store it is! I’ve always loved this chain, but this location really impressed me. The inside is absolutely huge, with so many different sections to explore. The selection of ready-to-eat food is incredible, and it sells out quickly around lunchtime. You’ll find plenty of options, from meats to side dishes, and the sushi rolls are not only delicious but also very reasonably priced. I was especially impressed with the meat and seafood departments. There’s such a wide variety, all beautifully prepared: cut into cubes, thin slices, barbecue-ready portions, and an incredible assortment of fresh seafood. They also have a household goods section, though it’s a bit smaller compared to other stores in the chain. Overall, this place is a must-visit, especially if you’re just looking for a great lunch or want to stock up on quality food.
