Nikka Japanese Market, Goleta CA

Daishi soup base, eel sauce for salmon steak, miso, curry sauce. GREAT RESOURCE for Japanese food
Next source is YAOHAN PLAZA downtown LA for japanese products. 100 miles away.

Great quality of items and produce that they do carry (which is very limited) but the prices are yeesh! They definitely can get away with it because of the lack of Asian markets in all of Santa Barbara county. Very friendly staff.

The store got bigger. Super clean. Lots of products to choose from. The owner is very polite.

This store is clean, sure, but EVERY single item was OVERPRICED. Straight ROBBERY IMO. I could get majority of the items here for a third to half the price. What really disappointed me was the price of the sushi grade salmon sashami, for 1.46 lbs, it was $48. HELL NO, I can buy fresh sushi grade salmon for that cut for $23-$25. On top of that, the Gochujang sauce, I can buy that $4-$5, $17 is price gauging! DISAPPOINTMENT OF A STORE!

Very friendly and I had no issues finding everything I wanted. I would like to return again.

Small but has nice, fresh selection of Japanese necessary ingredients. Very helpful if you ask.

As of march 2022, the prices are pretty outrageous. But it’s the only Japanese market in the area so there isn’t really an alternative.

When I come to Santa Barbara to visit my daughter, I like stopping by to pick up gyoza, soba noodles, sauces and cookies, pastries.

One of the few places in town with Japanese grocery items, snacks, and bottled tea etc. Therefore, their pricing is very expensive! But the store is always well stocked, organized and the team is very kind.

I get some great stuff at Nikka. I go almost every week, unless I buy too much. Check out the refrigerator on the left after you walk in. Some nice Japanese pastries.

Have been shopping at this market since I was a kid. They always have tasty snacks and dessert items.

Stocked to the gills. Excellent miso, and sake selection. Lots of beer and many great snacks and desserts! One stop market.

They have a bit of everything, every Tuesday they have a delivery of baked good from LA. They carry two brands of boba popsicles. The owner is very welcoming and friendly. Parking spaces can be limited as there are other business next to it.

Lovely little market! It had everything I was looking for and the employees were very respectful and diligent regarding covid customer capacity. Fantastic customer service as well!

Food was incredible, Highly recommend finding this gem if your around Goleta or Santa Barbara its a must!

Great little market! A heavy focus on japanese products which is great. Decent sake collection, even a small collection of japanese products like lotions, face masks, etc. Went for the first time yesterday, just to pick up some drinks to go with our dinner from Nico ramen, so didn't get to do a deep dive but we'll be coming back for sure. I've been going to the Indochina market over by Cajun kitchen in Goleta for a while, and recently the Oriental market on Hollister and nikka definitely had a greater range of Japanese items, so I'm glad to be adding them to my rotation.

I have been shopping at Nikka's for many years. If you love fixing Asian food, Nikka's has pretty much everything you will need.

Wonderfully friendly staff, very well stoked store, had everything on my list:) thank you!
