First floor is mostly just a food court + sunrise mart. The mart was great, it had my rice crackers that I can rarely find in my home area! I got lunch at shokusaido. Their Chicken Karaage wasn't crispy, and more on the soggy part, although the meat was tender and thankfully not raw! Also came with spicy mayo and lemon, which added good flavor. I had their shrimp and shittake skewers which were okay--I think whatever breading/tempura flakes they use aren't ones I'd prefer (doesn't completely cover the food item). Second floor has daiso and a bunch of other shops. Also had a dessert stand I was interested in but the prices were a little out of my range. Daiso was great! Book off was AMAZING! If you're a true collector, you should definitely check it out!! I couldn't find many cardcaptor sakura items but my older anime and otome games, they had!

Lovely visit to Japan Village. It is part of Industry City, which is a network of buildings housing various shops and restaurants. Japan Village has a Sunrise Market as well as some fresh food options including ramen, sushi, tofu and onigiri. There is limited seating in this fresh food interior area. Shops on the 2nd floor including cosmetics, pottery and an anime shop. There is a center courtyard area with some seating and a small stage. At the time, there was someone performing (singing). Parking available in surrounding lots...particularly, Lot C is reasonably only being $5 on weekends. $15-20 during the week though. Can pre-book and pay for parking via the Laz Parking app.

I was in the area shopping for furniture and was pleasantly reminded that there's a japan village here which had been on my bucketlist. It's very small compared to japan town in SF or Little Tokyo in LA. It's cute how they decorate the first floor to feel like Japan. The second floor is a little sad though. Pro tip: Just order onigiri at the onigiri stand, more bang for your buck.

I love going here, if not to do some groceries shopping, it's for the myriad of things you can do! Eating and drinking at the food court, getting some sweets at the bakery, indulging in some hand made Chocolate treats, playing pool at the"hidden" bar upstairs, walking through Daiso, checking out the vendors on the second floor, having coffee at the coffee shops , eating Ice Cream or just enjoying the outdoor space is all worth just going there , it's great to just go and relax, meet up with friends and bump into ones you have not seen in a while! This is my go to for a quick snack, of Onigiri! So many choices and things to do this is a great weekend spot to spend the day just exploring! I still have a few places i want to check out and I go here every week!

Japan Village is very unique & fun. The food court has a nice selection but it's the grocery market I go here for. They have a tea section with shelves of teas -- the green tea matcha section is incredible, so many choices, great selection. The only downside for some items is price - the imported Japanese Kit Kats were 9$ for a not very big bag. They're imported Kit Kats, so that's probably why they're so expensive. Everything has gotten expensive, thanks to inflation. When I go shopping, the inflation is hard to grasp. I'm sure businesses are feeling its effects too. Times are tough.

We are here for the Japanese food expo on the second floor then when to the daiso Japanese dollar store a lot of interesting items for the house. Then we when to the food Court on the first floor order the miso udon Waited for about 6 minutes then they call our number. Tastes good just like they made in Japan saved an air ticket we'll be back again.

This was located at Industry City, right next to Costco. Inside the food hall area were several restaurants that served various Japanese cuisine. There was also the Sunrise Mart which sold Japanese grocery, snacks, and drinks. As with anything Japanese, everything was clean and well organized. I was staying at a nearby hotel in Brooklyn and was very pleasantly surprised to discover this village!

Visited for a Japanese food festival and was not disappointed. A lively all-things Japanese center with food court that offers authentic and fresh food selection for reasonable price. Parking is convenient with plenty of street and parking garage nearby with Sunday parking for free. The establishment offers indoor and outdoor seating and selection beyond food that extend to manga, craft, Japanese liquor store, beauty product, and more. A must visit though extremely busy on weekend so try to avoid peak hour that can impact service quality (ran into a very rude staff at Moriya).

I visited the Japan village last weekend, the festival was fun. Just like everybody else said, the onigiri place was fast and easy to get something to eat while walking around. Grocery store was small but I found few things such as candies that I used to have when I was a kid (bring back memories). I wish the Daiso store was bigger, the place across the Daiso store(couldn't remember the name) was a fun place to browse, again not many shops, just interesting.

This place is like a food hall with Japanese food vendors plus a Japanese grocery store in the first floor and the 2nd floor they have a anime shop and dessert stall. I've dined at 3 of the food stalls in this place, the udon place, Moriya which serves chicken and pork katsu in a curry sauce, and Onigiri which makes rice balls. I've also shopped at the grocery store a few times. They have good products but they are a little pricey. Recently, I visited Japan village because they had a Japanese local specialties fair on the 2nd floor. It was really cool to learn about and taste various products from Japan, such as rice vinegar, fresh bamboo, yam, vegan udon noodles, miso on ice cream, black garlic sauce, and candied citrus peels. The food vendors were very knowledgeable and answered my questions. I bought some of the products like the candied citrus peels, vegan udon noodles and rice vinegar. The ambiance was cool. There were a lot of people at this fair. I hope they have more events like this one in the future.

Spent way too long here, but with good reason. From fantastic eats and groceries, to beauty products and all things manga -- great spot for anyone who appreciates Japanese culture.

I can't believe I'm finally at Japan Village! Trying Shokusaido in Japan Village for the 1st time. Very excited! I ordered Karaage Combo (fried chicken w/potatoes) & Pork Katsu Teishoku Deluxe ( 1/2 lb generous thick-cut cutlet twice the size served with cabbage, shibazuke pickles, a zesty lemon-tomato parsley garnish, and rice; choice of sauce)

Japan Village was a lot smaller than I expected, but Industry City is a cool spot to check out since there's several stores/restaurants spread across 3-4 buildings. Japan Village is in one of the warehouse buildings - on the first floor , there's a supermarket and food vendors. There's not a ton of open seating area (many of the seats are reserved to patrons of the food vendors), but there's tons of seating outside. The second floor has several small Japanese vendors (including Daiso and Bookoff). Unfortunately, a lot of stores were closed because of the holidays so I wasn't able to check out a lot of places. The food we tried was so-so - I would go to an actual Japanese restaurant somewhere else in Brooklyn if you are looking for good authentic Japanese food, but it was still fun to explore Industry City and Japan Village. A plus is that there are several furniture outlets and Costco nearby, so you can make a whole day trip out of it. Otherwise, you can explore Japan Village in under 3 hours depending on what you do/eat.

I've been here a few times. This place has a food court connected to a super market with some stores in the building. The supermarket is small, but has very cute Japanese grocery items. The prices are a little high. The food court has a few restaurants. I have had the takoyakis from hachi and it's great! The moriya bowls are good as well. Recently, I had the mixed tempura udon from gohei. It was filling although the tempura needed some sauce.

Ellen D.

Yelp
Japan Village is a cute food hall with plenty of food vendors, a grocery store, and also has an upper floor full of items for purchase! There's a kawaii shop, selling anime items to cute souvenirs, then theres a tailor shop, and also Daiso! My favorite 'store' is the Onigiri shop across the grocery mart. Their onigiris are bigger than my palm and super cheap. If this shop was here in NOVA, I'd probably eat there every day...then again maybe its a good thing they arent here.. xD

Setagaya Ramen is sooooo good! Rich and flavorful with the perfectly firm textured noodles. I always get the tonkotsu and it never disappoints.

Such a fun time at Japan Village located in Industry City, BK! This place is a hidden gem and I absolutely loved how authentic everything felt. I loved the market place and the variety it offered. All the good spots are delicious. We ordered ramen (3 of us got the spicy ramen, 1 black garlic) and they were SO SO GOOD. Such great portions too. Next we went upstairs and saw the anime section that had a lot of vending machines and cool stores. I love that you can take a sewing class and learn a skill.

Yelp
Japan Village is a nice collection of Japanese themed stores and restaurants all under one roof for visitors to enjoy. It is anchored by a grocery store and multiple restaurants in a food hall style atmosphere on the first floor offering classic Japanese cuisine such as sushi, ramen, udon, okonomiyaki, and much more. Upstairs, there is a retail focus with some of Japan's most famous stores like Book Off and Daiso in addition to smaller boutiques. Japan Village is worth a visit if you're looking to experience some Japanese culture or looking for specific items all in one place!

We were in Brooklyn for another event but came across Japan Village and had to explore it. The area is spread across several buildings in Industry City. There is a small food court with sitting indoors and outdoors, and grocery store on the first floor. When you walk up the stairs there are more small shops (pottery, anime, clothing) and a few gacha claw machines. Walking around the food court, you see bento boxes, rice balls, ramen, udon, and a cafe. We ordered a Pork Katsu Sandwich ($7.35) and 12oz Hot Matcha Yuzu Lemonade ($4.59) at the cafe. The sandwich was small, and would recommend toasting it again because eating, but I enjoyed it. The Matcha Yuzu had a good balance of both flavors. The grocery store had aa good amount of Japanese products. I bought 2 beautiful bowls ($14.99 each) and some tuna toro to make sushi at home. I have been looking for noodle bowls and the staff said they were microwave safe. The anime shop upstairs was very cool because you can stay there for quite a long time if you are interested in looking though all the different collectables.

Gentrification, redevelopment, or (the trendy phrase du jour in urban planning circles) revitalization, potentially has very socially charged connotations. On the one hand, the infusion of money which inextricably also requires local political "partnerships" will typically bring new businesses plus residential housing to an area, and thus boosts economic activity with the new (usually higher income) tenants. Counterpoint, however, is that all this revitalization will inevitably result in some sort of "displacement" (i.e. removal) of preexisting populations of people and establishments. When I was a kid and on the rare occasions that my dad's boss allowed him to drive the company van to the local Jetro (https://www.yelp.com/biz/jetro-brooklyn-2?osq=jetro) to get supplies for the restaurant, we would pass the old warehouses in Industry City along 278 (Gowanus Expressway) and they resembled a Soviet era landscape. From the freeway you could see all the windows had been smashed in, the facade were painting were graffiti, and let's just say it wasn't too safe to be anywhere near Industry City after dark. Industry City was in deterioration even into the early-mid 2000's before current owners Belvedere Capital, Jamestown and Angelo Gordon & Co began a major redvelopment in the early 2010's. Opened in 2018, Japan Village is collection of shops, restaurants, and family friendly activities which has become the centerpiece of the "new" industry city. Japan Village is fairly large and spread out across several buildings. The main building has a few eateries and a large-ish grocery store stocking hard to find and direct from Japan food items. I picked up some unique (Matcha and Ube) flavored Kit-Kats as well as authentic Made in Japan Panko bread crumbs. During my visit, I didn't stop into any of the bars and restaurants, but most of them were doing a brisk business; and surprisingly, the prices weren't a complete rip-off. The highlight for me was stopping into the Daiso department store on the second floor. Having visited a few when I was in Tokyo, it was cool to peruse all of the kitschy items such a few Hello Kitty dolls and toys I got for my niece. You could easily spend an afternoon here checking out all of the small boutiques, and there are plenty of IG worthy spots to snap a few pics before uploading to your social media platform of choice. The parking is nonexistent so best to either UBER it or take the R, N, or D trains to the 36th station and it's a short 5 min walk from there. Sure, this place is a bit gimmicky, but I like it - and for long time Brooklynites who remember what this neighborhood used to be, I definitely prefer what's here now as opposed to allowing the area to decline.

We had fun at Japan Village. The first floor has a grocery store and a food hall. The second floor has a matcha/shaved ice shop, anime store, daiso, beauty product store, and daiso. We were a bit underwhelmed by the food we got, but maybe we should try a different vendor next time. Visiting Japan Village was a great rainy day activity.

Angelina Z.

Yelp
I'm not sure if I went to the wrong vendor or ordered the wrong dish, but i was slightly underwhelmed. I got the spicy salmon roll, which was good value, but the rice was super hard and dry.

A fun addition to the new Industry City for those fans obsessed with Japanese culture. What was once a line of factory buildings is now a miniature community of shops. That's what is in this building. Japan Village contains a tea ceremony station, a supermarket of your Japanese food supplies, anime manga merch, ramen stands, dessert parlors, and now claw arcade machines. My favorite part is the inexpensive sushi items and the beef cuts to shop and cook fresh at home. Thank you $35 fresh Hokkaido uni. Many things to work here especially if you love Japanese culture.

This place has so much potential but it was dead when we came on a weekday Tuesday. The concept is so cool and the decor is amazing because it matches with each food court style location. However, everything was closed and we got here at 4:30. So we couldn't even get different food options to try because everything was closed except for the market and daiso. If you want food, good luck because we saw one place opened. Very cool place with lots of unique artsy photo spots. Maybe it needs more marketing but apparently people have told me that it gets busy packed on the weekends so not sure why the weekdays are so quiet. Some areas felt abandoned.

I love this place and cannot wait to come back! Visited for the first time and I was so excited and in awe from the decorations, food and nostalgia. Beautiful and spacious place to hang out, great assortment of food, and a medium sized grocery story with a great selection. Extremely clean and organized inside. I arrived right at opening so avoided all of the lines. All of the food was fresh and delicious. I will definitely be back!

Izzy W.

Yelp
I really like this place. There is soooo much to do! There's a lovely Japanese market, an escape room (that I barely passed), it's family friendly with areas for little ones to run around, a comic/anime section, tons of food and drink areas! The customer service in each section was always great. There's a onigiri place across from the Japanese market with the best sake (cooked salmon) onigiri I have EVER had. The Brewery at the top has an area for free pool (to tables and has always been empty).

Finally got the chance to check out Japan Village 5 years after it opened. It's just too out of the way for me to make a trip specifically to go there, so I never did until I happened to be in the neighborhood one Saturday at around 4:30. I have to say, it was pretty wack. It's crowded and over priced, and there is no parking. I live in NJ so I will just be sticking to Mitsuwa.

There really isn't a J-Town in NYC like I'm used to in San Francisco and San Jose. However, I found out about this spot on a PBS show where host Mickela Mallozzi came here as part of her exploration of Japanese-originated music and dance in the city. I had no idea it existed, so Jamie W. and I took the D to Brooklyn. It turned out to be a combination food hall, supermarket, and retail center in a larger complex, Industry City. This was a good find for a Manhattan-centric tourist even though this Left Coaster has been spoiled by what we have available in California including LA's Little Tokyo. It was inevitable that this enclave includes two of the more renowned Japanese retail chains, Daiso and BookOff. The food stalls looked to represent most of the delicacies you would expect in a Japanese food court from okanomiyaki and curry rice to sushi of course. There was a spacious patio with tables and benches festooned with Japanese paper lanterns. We were frankly more entranced with the market as we looked for mochi snacks to take with us to Prospect Park. The mission of Japan Village is to build a stronger sense of community among the local Japanese-Americans, and they looked to provide various education classes on the second floor. Worth a visit for sure. RELATED - Exploring Brooklyn? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: http://bit.ly/2V51pX7

A great venue to spend 1-2 hours on a rainy day. SPACE: Easily accessible by the MTA and street parking. The building is huge with a lot of room to explore. On the second level, there is an event space which looked pretty cool. SHOPS: There are a few shops to explore like Daiso (although on the smaller) side, a small market, anime shops, and some FOOD: The food court has a few options: ramen, udon, onigiris, takoyakis and a cafe.

I had the chicken katsu don which was pretty tasty nothing crazy amazing to make it stick out but still filling. There was a good amount of chicken and rice which could easily be split between two peoples Service was quick, ambiance was nice if you plan to sit outside which wasn't bad at all.

Julie Ying X.

Yelp
I've come back many times since it opened and I have to say both the food and the service has gotten better over the years. The food selection has improved and the service has become more efficient. My favorite things to get are the ramen from Ramen Setagaya and the onigiri (rice balls) from Obentoyasan. They have seasonal ramen such as tsukemen but the black garlic tonkotsu ramen is solid. They make the onigiri to order so it's warm and not pre-packaged. I did get the Mt Fuji ramen (cha siu, parmesan, tomato) for the first time and it was interesting. It was a bit too heavy for me though. My other friends also got the okonomiyaki and takoyaki from Hachi which were also good.

Pamela S.

Yelp
I love taking an afternoon here to shop and eat. The grocery market is a little on the pricier side, but there are items that I could only find here. The food options are also extensive for the small space. There's everything from ramen, to udon, sushi, and takoyaki. Grab a little bit from each stand and go outside for a nice little picnic.

Corliss K.

Yelp
Came with some friends on a rainy Sunday to explore the area. My friends and I were starving and ramen seemed like the best choice. This isn't the best ramen in the world, but I definitely felt like for the value, it was really good! There's a small seating area right next to the food stand where you can sit. It can get pretty busy, so it's actually quite hard to find a seat. This is just one food stand in the food court -- there's more inside and a few outside as well. There's a lot of buildings that consist of the village area that can get a little bit confusing, but the main area is really cute. There's a sunrise mart where you can buy some Japanese pantry items and snacks. Upstairs there's a Daiso and additional booths of varying activities.

Chabely I.

Cute place to hang out and weeb out. They have some good selections of Japanese food. My favorites include the ramen place and onigiri spot. Upstairs you can find Daiso as well as a manga and action figure store.

This place is very cool for the locals. It's a bit of a trek for Manhattan or queens out to here. The place is very cool, lots of fun shops and artist vendors, bakeries and a sunrise mart located here. Lots of small food vendors and restaurant out posts here including a frying pan but not as cool as the one in Manhattan as that one is on a boat. I'm obsessed with the daiso which is the japanese dollar store but with inflation things are more like around $2-5. They have lots of storage and home improvement Knick knacks which are great or organizing. I love the large open spaces in between the buildings. Plenty of open space to hang out and have drinks. There are lots of stores for shopping. Restoration hardware outlet, west elm outlet, definitely a place to go if you need furniture!!!

Sean L.

Yelp
Onigiri is best thing on the menu with prices starting from 3 dollars to 4.50 it is a great value because they are so filling had the sake, shrimp tempura, and spicy tuna. All of them had a good balance of rice seaweed and filling. The spicy tuna had a lot of spicy mayo mixed in and had a good kick to it. -WAS MY FAVORITE!! The sake Onigiri had a decent amount of cooked salmon. The shrimp tempura was perfectly fried and was perfectly golden brown and was a perfect Balance of flavor. They also have fresh sushi rolls to go and the ambiance and vibe does bring that authentic Japanese vibe with a big outside seating area. Do reccomend to visit and try!!

A group of us came here today for lunch. Due to fact that we all have different preferences, we split up. My two friends followed me to the origiri/miso soup stand. I brought the Japanese Fried Chicken origiri. It was probably the cheapest lunch in that food court. It was only $4.00. Afterward, we went to Sunrise Market. It's on the other side of the floor. I brought a pack of 4 Nongshim Spicy Shin Noodle for $6.99. They require you to spend $10 or more, if you want to use your credit card. Overall, I had a great time. The prices were reasonable. I highly recommend stopping by here.

David B.

at the time there was a event for gashapon machine but there were different options in regards to food and views. simply put there were options and it was a trip to get here but well worth the view and the fact that there are so many things to do across the building.

Saw that Japan Village was celebrating Hinamatsuri today, and thought I might catch them making sakura mochi as advertised on Instagram, but when I got there, there was no sign of anything spring celebration-related. This was the start of my disappointment. Food court was average. Takoyaki was delicious and fast, which was great because I was hangry after it took an hour to get there. Udon was decent but definitely not at the same quality as Raku or Tsurutontan. It felt like when I first went to EPCOT Japan and I was excited for an authentic experience, but it turned out to be mall quality food that tasted a bit bland and instant. They advertised Gachapon machines so I made my way upstairs to a sad dusty room with 4 rows of machines. Minimum spend was $20 for 10 tokens, each capsule cost $4-6. I got 2 of the same thing and gave my remaining tokens to strangers. Walking outside, I smelled something delicious that turned out to be a patisserie that was closed, but the bakers were still dusting waffles and croissants with powdered sugar. What was up with that? Overall, this wasn't worth the trip.

Danyang Z.

Yelp
A collection of Japanese restauants - it's ok to stop by if you're in the area but not worth going out of your way to come here. You can find equally good Japanese resturants elsewhere. The Daiso was small and the BookOff was not that impressive either.

Jay H.

Yelp
The ramen at japan Village is so delish! We ordered the classic tonkatsu ramen which comes with 2 pieces of char siu, seaweed, scallion and bamboo shoots! The noodles were bouncy and just perfect! The broth was so savory and hearty! The broth is filled with pork bone flavor!! I'll be back to try the miso ramen next time! There's also Daiso on the second floor and I'm obsessed! Love that store and all the decor around the area in japan village (court yard)! It's always decorated based on the holiday season! This time it's decked out with Halloween decor since it's October! Love it! :)

During COVID-19 as of April 2021: I finally visited Japan Village/Industry City and got to see it blossom from 2016 to a completely creative space consisting of various shops and creators. Japan Village seems to be its own entity with small businesses and a Sunrise Mart inside the south entrance of Industry City. As you enter from the street level, you will be welcomed by Cafe Japon to the left and Sunrise Mart to the right. Overall, this is a fun place to go to, especially when in need of Japanese food and other necessities. Japan Village, in particular, is its own entity from the other businesses located in Industry City. A plus for this place would be that there's a grocery store for those in need of certain ingredients, especially Japanese ones in particular. I like that they have some of the drugstore Japanese cosmetics and hair products here as well. Prices are decent. Accepts cash, card, and Applepay within certain businesses. Masks and social distancing inside. Bathrooms are located in Industry City.

Yelp
Adorable little replica of a Japanese food hall with plenty of outdoor seating. Most of the things I tried here were absolutely delicious, with onigiri and katsu-don being the best, as well as a bomb matcha tiramisu. The soba was also solid but nothing to write home about and I would skip the takoyaki. There is also a Sunrise Mart grocery store with a good selection of Japanese goodies. Wheelchair access details: there is a ramp at the entrance and all stalls have good access for takeaway food. Outdoor seating is almost all accessible and there is an accessible restroom in the market building.

Yelp
I really like the atmosphere of this mall, but Japan Village was honestly pretty disappointing. The mall is only approximately an hour away from Manhattan, so I would still recommend a trip if you have nothing else to do. Japan Village is part of a 4 building complex that has restaurants and stores on the first two floors of each building. On the first floor, there is a Japanese supermarket that's actually really fairly priced. There are also about 5 food court restaurants/ bars on the floor. The second floor consists of a room of 3-4 small vendors and also a Daiso. The Diaso was extremely packed; it was hard to get around. The restaurants all had pretty subpar reviews. I went to one called Moriya and I had the Gyu-don, which is a beef rice dish. The rice was mushie and soaked in sauce while the beef was tough. The taste was alright but I don't recommend eating at Japan Village in general.

Yelp
As someone who travels regularly, I've had my fair share of mediocre meals and bland experiences. That's why I appreciate hidden gems like Japan Village in Brooklyn. Having had to settle for subpar food during my travels, I've come to cherish places that offer an authentic taste of culture. Japan Village is one such gem, offering a diverse range of culinary options on its first floor, from food stalls to a small grocery store stocked with unique snacks and drinks. The outdoor patio area is a great spot to enjoy a meal or meet up with friends. Upstairs, the anime shop and crane machines add to the village's charm. It's humbling to remember that not everyone has access to such experiences. Japan Village is a wonderful reminder to appreciate the little things and savor the flavors of different cultures. I do recommend getting there before the lunch or dinner rush because it gets crazy. I managed to get in before the lunch rush and was able to get my food fairly quickly.

Yelp
What's not to love? It's a Japanese food hall with a bunch of great options from Japanese curry to your classic ramen, to baked goodies. The market is to the right when you enter the main entrance so you can shop from cult favorite snacks like yakult, red bean desserts, candies, and even household items like cleaning products, shampoos, and skincare. The options are endless. On busier days it does get frustrating to maneuver around but it's not a tiny place either. If you've been to KTown in the city, the food hall called Food Gallery 32 is super narrow and much more claustrophobic. Japan Village is much wider than that, space wise. But what can you do when NYC has millions of patrons coming through? Inevitably, if it's busy, it'll be cumbersome to navigate, especially if the weather is particularly terrible, everyone ducks in here for lunch and take out. I find that there are plenty of tables and seating around the food stalls and it's not uncommon for people to be looking for seats if it's busy. Try not to visit during rush hour. Highly recommend Setagaya Ramen to the left for some Tonkatsu ramen and Moriya for some pork katsu curry! The food is made fresh and piping hot! Perfect for the cold winter days and competitively priced considering the value you receive. The service is also really great, as everyone is very kind and efficient to boot! You must visit Japan Village in industry city!! Could not recommend it more to my own friends and family.

Angel H.

Yelp
Cute area in Industry Park. Love the sunset mart which has the best sea urchin. Also love the onigiris and sushi's as well as noodles and tonkatsu you can get! Wish there were more dessert options other than the Taiyaki fish stand and the bakery though. Patio is cute with plenty of seating.

Elizabeth X.

Yelp
Cute food court with so many options, and a bar! It's attached to a grocery store, so you can shop for your favorite Asian snacks afterwards :) Food was delicious and they have a small seating area indoors, and more tables outside. Would recommend dropping by to peruse the options and pick your favorite!

Organized, clean, and a large variety of foods, products, and many more stuff! If you've been to Mitsuwa, another Japanese supermarket/food court, it's similar but more expensive (I've compared prices of the same product). Nonetheless, it's convenient for those who live in Brooklyn so you don't have to go to Mitsuwa all the way in Jersey! They have plenty of good Japanese foods at the food court! So come visit when you have time! Thank you for reading and good luck!
