The best Japanese market and food place ever! You can get your own sashimi or eat tasty ramen in the food court!
Rachel MercerSeptember 23, 2012
Great asian grocery. One of the few places that I've been to that sells sushi-grade fish so you can do it at home. Excellent Sake selection to boot! The Food Court, Bakery, and Bookstore are bonus.

Nice store. I prefer Nijiya, but still good Japanese options! Big food court with plenty of options to choose from. Cannoli 💛ers: Cream Coronet from the bakery, trust me! Video, magazine, toy stores.

Not only is the food court great, but the people who work here are all very helpful and positive. If you're new to Japanese markets, don't be shy to come and ask for help.

They take orders for osechi during the New Years. On the saltier and sweet side, but you get all the essential items for a celebratory platter.

If you're looking for sushi grade seafood, this is the store for you! They also carry lots of sushi and sushi rolls, very inexpensive! Definitely worth coming here over a fancy smancy restaurant!

Really nice Japanese grocery store. Check out the snack section for some ridiculous tasty treats. Also, be sure to get ramen at Santouka.
Jenny ChingSeptember 12, 2015
Sushi, ramen, and everyone can pick what they want at the food court. Be mindful that it's CASH ONLY!

Such a good selection of food and other things from Japan. The food hall section is not to be missed, everything is amazing.

Love this store. They sell English style bread, some European style pastries, and I haven't had anything bad from the food court yet

Try the Japanese ramen soup ---- best in the city! They even give you a side of marinating boiled egg to pour on top of your ramen bowl and a side choice of natto and rice.

Great sushi. Shabu Shabu, Sake Selection, Meats,and Desserts from the Green Tea Roll Cake to the Green Tea Red Bean and Lychee Ice cream. One of my favorites and reasonably priced as well. Read more

Santouka, order pork, or the beff soba right next to it. FTW. And you can watch the latest news from Japan while you devour their delish foods.

At least once a week I get some spicy tuna rolls. Very tasty. I also like to get a bowl of beef curry udon noodles with an egg on top.

The cafeteria is the best place on the westside to grab quick Japanese lunch. Cash only though. The hipsters are starting to catch on however... Haha

I love Nigori sake, albacore for sashimi with the onion salad dressing, low sodium and eggplant! The food court makes me happy too!
Michele ChristensenDecember 15, 2012
Not in Santa Monica, but near enough to include on a Santa Monica list. Very interesting market featuring Asian specialty foods. Vegan-friendly for certain items. Prepared foods available.

Soba, Udon, the best price Sake in town....fresh fish, veggies one might have never seen or tried. Need a last minute gift? They have something for everyone...Hello Kitty to a Rice Cooker. Read more

The food court is where it's at. The udon and bento boxes are bomb.

Say sauce ramen is much better than spicy ramen at Santoka. A little bit salty but tastes pretty good!
Bill BrackenMay 1, 2013
Had some of the best Ramen ever at one of the small restaurants inside the food court there. Problem is I did not get the name but man was it good....

This is one of those westside not-so-hidden gems. Food court is mad busy on the weekends.
