Nijiya Market, San Mateo CA

Great selection of Japanese essentials and my go to to get sashimi quality fish and Japanese produce - they even have fresh real wasabi!

It's a small grocery store, but they've got all your essentials. I love the assortment of ready made meals. It's busy on weekends, but weekdays are the opposite.

I love this place. I come here twice a month from Stockton for the onigiri, which is great, but their whole selection they have at the store is amazing.

Great place to buy Japanese goods. Today we were there to purchase bento boxes for lunch. They were great & this store is a larger store than the San Jose J-town store, so there is more variety of bento boxes & seemingly more Japanese grocery items in the store.

Amazing food! I found some stuff here I found nowhere else. And some of the staff speaks more then 1 language, so it's awesome communication.

Good selection of locally grown organic vegetables, in addition to ready to cook and prepared foods. Smaller footprint than the south bay stores, but offset by reduced foot traffic for a faster shipping experience.

Six foot distance markings are clearly set up outside the store, and safely roped off in the probate parking lot. As of 8/3, allowing limited numbers of shoppers in the store at a time, as well as shorter hours.

There’s a limit on numbers of customers in the store due to COVID. They have good a variety of meats and I found them fresh and affordable. My favorite section is the bento area. They have over 10 kinds of Japanese ready to eat bentos. Super convenient and tasty! #japanesegroceries #bento #groceries

Love all the Japanese food selections there especially the bentos and sushi. They even give 20% discount after 5: 00 pm for all cook food. The place is clean

Great Japanese market! We like to pick up sushi lunch boxes and onigiri here, and recently ordered sushi party platters for Father's Day that were excellent and very reasonably priced for the quality and quantity! The party platter menu is on the website and they recommend ordering at least a day ahead of time. It included a variety of sushi including many that our kids liked (inari sushi, California rolls, smoked salmon and avocado), and the fish is very fresh.

I haven't had a chance to slowly browse the store but they seem to have a little bit of every Japanese grocery essential you would want, from produce to beverages (including sake and wine), prepared foods, dry goods, and drugstore and kitchen items.

During Covid-19 they have had a well-marked line outside with 6 ft spacing and are wiping down baskets and carts. Short wait to get into the store because they limit the number of customers. I felt very safe.

We went here to get sushi. The quality was good for a grocery store and cost much less than going out. I will try the other 2 grocery stores that offer sushi in the are and compare.

Little pricey but outstanding quality pre-made sushi or nigiri super fresh Yasai Croquete sandwich my favorite also check ramen flavors.must to try!

Nice Japanese store with good selection. I bought some red sweet potatoes that are hard to find.got ingredients for Japanese udon noodles seafood soup!

Great local Japanese market with all your needs! Back has q really nice pre prepared food section with bento boxes, sushi and karage! Sundays there is usually a 20% off select meat sale. Nice place to shop!

Whenever we crave sashimi, we will go to this place, around Bay Area we have some like this place and they all have best sashimi but this place my husband work around here so he stopped by to get some, always have fresh salmon sashimi that we want, 1 time we stopped by late to see what they have discounts but nothing we want left so if you want some sashimi better go early,

A real fun store, I make a regular pilgrimage to get brown rice vinegar and other condiments that are hard to find elsewhere. The fresh sushi is very tasty, the compressed rice with salmon and lemon sauce was delicious

Staffs were very helpful in helping me find all the ingredients required to make sushi. It would have taken forever otherwise.

Good selection of Japanese food. A bit pricey, but the selection makes up for it. They also sell discount sashimi at the end of the day, which is nice.

Don't go to this market if you don't want to over your budget, they have a lot of good snack, high quality sashimi, unique food. You will lose control.

Ready made sushi and rolls are reasonable price and pretty good tasting. Bigger selection of traditional mochi than expected. The seafood rolls ($10) were huge and fresh.

Very nice and interesting Market.
Very clean, i got tofu, and Miso soup base.
They have everything you need for Japanese Cuisine
