Osaka Marketplace

I recently visited Osaka Marketplace in Fremont (near 680/880). I usually enjoy shopping at this Japanese grocery store because it offers fresh sashimi and a good selection of Japanese products. Unfortunately, my experience today was disappointing due to poor customer service. I was looking for a Japanese beer, but the shelf was empty. I saw an employee coming from the back and politely said, “Excuse me.” She didn’t respond, so I said it again a bit louder. She replied, “I need to go help a customer,” and quickly walked away. I was left thinking, I guess I’m not considered a customer. She could have easily said she would be back, but she never returned. Later, I was looking for azuki (red) beans. I asked another employee where I could find them, and she told me to ask the cashiers. I went to the checkout area, stood in line, and waited my turn just to ask. The cashiers didn’t seem to know either. One said they only carried canned sweet red beans but didn’t know where they were. When I clarified that I was looking for real azuki beans, they said they didn’t have them and didn’t know what I was talking about. Ironically, I eventually found the azuki beans myself. The point is, Osaka Marketplace really needs to improve employee training—both in basic customer service and in knowledge of the products they carry. This experience was frustrating and disappointing, which is why I felt the need to write this review

This is a good place to go when they have sampling events, depending on who you are working with, but might not have what you normally purchase at other stores. The lots can become full in a hurry, if you do not arrive early or before closing.

Very clean store with a huge variety of Japanese products. I like the pre-made food the best - easy to get a meal there and the taste and presentation are good. Security staff and cashiers are polite and friendly.

My family and I ate at the food court here. There's not a lot of tables, around 8 that can accommodate parties of 4. The booths can accommodate more, but you have to take chairs away from the other tables. One guy was laying down on the couch seating of one of the booths. And the tables weren't cleaned right away, but I think they're short-staffed. The food came out pretty quickly though. We ordered two bowls of udon, one kitsune and the other wagyu beef, chicken katsu curry, karaage skewers, grilled chicken skewers, takoyaki, and fried shrimp. My kitsune udon was okay. The broth was light and the tofu was sweet as it should be. But there wasn't a lot of udon noodles. I could barely see them in the broth. My dad's wagyu beef udon bowl was much fuller, and he liked it. My mom liked the curry, too. We enjoyed the skewers, and I especially enjoyed the grilled chicken. It was nicely charred and a bit peppery. I added a jidori egg to my udon. I liked that the yolk was jammy, but the tempura part was soggy. I don't think it's worth the extra $1.75. Just stick with a regular egg. The grab-and-section of the store had some decent options of curries, sandwiches, onigiri, etc. There were also discounted mochi donuts. Because of the blackouts, I decided to get a chicken katsu sandwich in case I came back to a dark apartment. There's three small portions, about an inch tall, for $8.99. It was fine. I wanted to get sushi to add to our lunch, but I heard someone sneezing behind the wall where they handle food, so I didn't get any. The grocery portions of the marketplace is good. Lots of varieties of Japanese items as well as Korean items. The produce looked fresh. The bathrooms were disgusting. I almost slipped on the stall. And the garbage cans were overflowing. This was around 1pm, which means it probably hadn't been cleaned since the morning. I don't live in Fremont, so I wouldn't go out of my way to visit here. But if you're already in the marketplace and are hungry, the grab-and-go options would suffice.

We love this market - instead of having to drive to Cupertino for Japanese groceries, until today -we bought two packs of angus prime beef for hot pot and we found tons of fat trimming hidden at the bottom, this is clearly a cheating ! Please don’t do this else we lose trust in your business. I’m writing this hoping you will change your practice. We will still come to shop here but we will double check everything from now on.

I usually come here for their fresh rolls, Japanese bento plates and onigiris. Although still fresh, their deals for their 20% off are always a steal. I thought it was a weekday deal but found out it's daily and around 5pm. I ended up getting their Mr. Crazy Roll which consist of sashimi salmon and uni over California rolls. It was delicious! 😋 A friend had asked me if they accepted EBT and currently no, they don't accept EBT as payment.

I'm just going to review the little restaurant inside. It is super slow and they overcharge! They have menus on the walls, on the glass all over the place. I have not tried the electronic ordering they have in the restaurant. Each time I went, there was somebody at the screen, so I ordered direct from cashier. Their Teriyaki chicken had too much rice for me, but only because I'm pre-dianetic. But they use rice direct from Japan, and it is delicious.

The taste of the ramen truly reminds my family of Japan, if not better. We ordered the classic ramen, the one with the spicy shredded crab and garlic mushroom ramen. Of the three, the classic and the one with the shredded crab was good and both broth was rich. The garlic mushroom ramen was a bit strong in mushroom broth for my taste. We will surely revisit again.

In love with this market!! It has became twice a week stop with all our favorites At first there was a very big hype a lot of people everywhere people to be honest it was great just a lot of excited people all enjoying the same thing a brand new market in Foster City that we all get to enjoy now! Thankfully, now it is a little slower, more normal pace With fresh food and delicious goodies from hot food to desserts, tasty snacks, frozen goods and a deli with fresh meat. The staff is very kind and welcoming helpful to find things if you're unable to locate something superfast and easy Over all five stars can't wait to come back to one of my favorite markets

Busy Busy parking lot but worth the wait. Lots of snacks and to-go food/dessert options that are pocket-friendly. Their to-go sushi option is plentiful, like too much plentiful. The hot foods options was hard to choose from. The fridge had the egg and fruit sandos.

Words cannot describe how happy I feel when I come to Osaka marketplace. If you are looking for affordable quality sushi on the go, this is the spot. Looking for different onigiri, they got you too. Want Uni from Japan or Santa Barbara, they got that too. I usually get a few sushi rolls or poke/sushi bowl, dang in I'm craving some as I write this. This store has something for everyone, from snacks, to beauty products, shirts and pastry gift boxes. Frozen and fresh meats and produce section. They also have a tiny food court in the store with a few vendors as well as mochi doughnuts. Parking here can be busy during lunch as there are restaurants in the same plaza. If you are in the area, and love Japanese food and products this is a must. Don't skip out.

Large Japanese market in the area that has a fresh food section with sushi! If you go towards the end of the day, all of the food is 20% off so you get more bang for your buck. I got the Alaska roll and the spicy tuna roll and they were both decent and fresh. Don't expect omakase level sushi but this sushi punches surprisingly above what you would think -- definitely not your standard supermarket sushi! Good place to stop by for road trips or a quick bite to eat

The best place for fresh sashimi, baked goods, sushi, and ALL of the Japanese food! Whenever I'm craving sushi, I go straight here rather than a local restaurant. It's so much more worth it to buy the fresh fish here and prepare a hand roll party with friends. They also have premade items like karaage, calamari, and more. Wide range of food options and free samples!

Osaka Marketplace is located in a plaza that is conveniently located in the intersection next to the entrance to Highway 880, and surrounded by wondeful eateries including Pineapple King, Taiwan Cafe, and Tou Les Jours. Opened until 9pm, and also on holidays, it's such a great spot to drop by for Japanese focused (but Asian groceries), some deli food, and picking up last minute gifts. There is so, so much there, not just produce and groceries, but gift sections including plushies, pottery, stationary, beauty masks, Hawaiian snack aisles. I can find most of what I need for Japanese dishes, with pricing being generally reasonable. This supermarket can also be a fun place to walk around too for families with little ones. For ready to eat food, their sushi and bentos are discounted towards the late afternoon/evening, which could be nice if you wanted to stop by for something to take home to dinner. Recently, they've added coolers also for their bentos. Sushi there is pretty good, but I have seen a few trays towards the end of the day where the avocado has browned. They also have a small food court too, but the hours are a bit unpredictable. Mochi donuts and Andersen Bakery bread is also available. Staff is generally polite and helpful. If you are in the area and in need of groceries, or just in need of a place in Fremont to stop after braving all the highway traffic, I recommend dropping by. :)

Osaka marketplace always has a great selection of packaged meals and I do enjoy stopping by when I don't know what to eat. Today they had ichigo daifuku for $5/piece. They were providing samples of warabi mochi right when you walk inside. The yellow mochi had a custard filling while the green mochi had a red bean filling. The mochi was alright... but it was nice to try. I'm not a fan of the filling since it wasn't sweet. I prefer a sweet white bean paste (shiroan) filling but that was not an option. I'm excited to see what the store has planned for this coming month! Keep up to date on their Instagram page to see what pop ups they'll be having inside :)

This has become one of my favorite Japanese grocery stores in the Bay Area! I like how it's in a plaza and parking is not too bad. They also have a lot of ready to eat food or food that you can just warm up. They also have appliances and things that you may need at home. The people working here are also very kind.

I grew up going all the way to San Jose for Japanese groceries at Mitsuwa or Marukai. I am so glad that now we have Osaka much closer in the East Bay! This store is a great size with almost everything you can think of! Produce, bakery, freezer, refrigerator, meat, dry foods, cooking utensils, skin care, etc! It's also very clean and I've noticed some days they also give free samples of food (similar to Costco) and have also seen events here outside like food vendors and such. I love coming here because they definitely have certain snacks and brands that cannot be found at your regular grocery stores like Safeway or Luckys. Nothing against Osaka itself, but the parking lot can get crazy busy due to all the other eateries in the same plaza. Still 5 stars for me!

Finally went on the weekend to see when the 20% deal started. We came here Saturday at 4:35pm. The staff started putting 20% off stickers around 4:40 or 4:45. Friday discounts starts at 4:15pm. The 20% deal excludes sashimi area with uni, squid, geoduck, octopus, and fishes. Only for sashimi and sushi platters boxes. But still worth it for the fresh sashimi.

I love making the drive out here just to have their freshly packaged sushi and their food court. I highly recommend their beef skewers and ramen in the food court, super affordable too! Their groceries are on the pricier side but their wagyu meats are super high quality so it's a nice splurge once in a while.

This is our neighborhood Japanese market . This past Saturday it had an Osaka festival. They were selling tickets at the front entrance for their fresher made food . Inside I stopped by two different counters . A red leave called Red Shiso that tasted like raspberry drink . It could be mixed with beer or other drinks , or it could be mixed with ice water 2:1 ( juice 2 to 1 water ) ratio . It tasted great . I also love the imitated crab meat hand sushi demonstrations and sampling. The whole store has a lot of different merchandise: kitchen ware , ready to eat sushi , sashimi, bento boxes for grilled fish , chicken , fried calamari, hand rolls , etc . That also have a wide selection of premium beef , chicken and poke , fish , frozen hamachi Kama for grilling , fresh vegetables and drinks . This is a good market with many choices .

Had high hopes for this place since they're supposedly opening a couple more in the Bay Area, but was super disappointed. The look of the store turned me off immediately. The Japanese grocery stores in the SF Bay Area wouldn't win any prizes for ambience, but this one was so sad and drab and rundown. We wanted to get a bite to eat before shopping, but the restaurant area looked deserted, w/ different menus pegged up all over the place, super confusing, as was the location of the tablet that you're supposed to order on (the "order here" sign is very small). Plus it was grimy and worn in the eating area. Instead, we got sandos from the prepared food area. The tamago sando was gross, it didn't resemble any egg salad I've ever had before, from the US or Japan. I kept wondering if the owner was really Japanese, and even googled on my phone while eating the sando, and yes, he has a Japanese name, but how in the world could he ever allow tamago sando like this in his store??? The tuna salad sando was maybe 5% better, but heavy, thick, weird. So depressing. I kept imagining Japanese people here on business encountering a sandwich like this. The bento and sushi was just okay; the bento looked less appetizing than some other markets in the area, ditto for the sushi. The rest of the store had very standard stuff for Japanese markets in the area. The produce was just okay. Tokyo Fish Market has a much smaller, but much better produce section. The snacks and sweets aisles were more like a Ranch 99 than a store dedicated to Japanese items. You can find better at Nijiya, for example. Nijiya is better in every way, actually. I hope this market has some fresh new plans & ideas (and prepared food!) for their new ones opening up, because this Fremont location is pretty dismal. People who've actually been to markets in Japan would not appreciate a store like this, and I can't imagine any Japanese people rating this store highly, only people who have limited experience with Japanese markets and food. Hate to sound like a food snob, but this place was so sad. My husband is Japanese and he was so depressed after driving 45 minutes to visit this store, and couldn't believe the owner is Japanese.

There aren't any fish markets near me, so whenever I'm in the area, I make it a point to stop here. Their fish is fresh and packaged well, and I like that they have an ice bucket for you to scoop ice and take with you to keep your raw food cold. If you come after 4 PM, their hot food, sushi and pastry items are all marked down 20%. This includes sashimi platters! On the weekends, the selection is usually pretty good, but idk about weekdays around 4 PM. Each sushi roll is about $12.99-14.99 before discount. The rice isn't overly heavy but it obviously isn't as soft as freshly rolled sushi. A few pieces fell apart when I picked them up, but I appreciate that each had good filling to rice ratio. They have little stickers along the top to tell you what is in each roll. Sashimi platters are placed separately from the sashimi bowls and sushi rolls, just a FYI. I almost missed them when I last went! I got the flaming roll, sumo roll and the special bonito #3 plate for about $40. I feel like this was priced well after the 20% discount, so would def come back to try more next time. The sumo roll had a torched salmon on top which I thought I would love but it ended up just making the fish on top super dry. The flaming roll tasted more fresh so I ended up liking that one more of the two. All the sashimi in my plate was super fresh. While I didn't end up eating the rice under the fish, I think the ratio of fish and rice was appropriate for a meal. I wish they had extra soy sauce packets on the side somewhere but they do offer you chopsticks at checkout. They have your standard selection of Japanese snacks and goods. Their ceramic bowls and plates are super cute, and they seem to have a pretty fast check out system with all lanes open during the weekend. They have a security guard at the door who checks your receipt btw. Parking is okay, there's a shared lot in the plaza but it's pretty busy as there are a lot of yummy stores in the plaza (Pineapple King, Happy Lemon, etc).

I only had the food court food here so disclaimer my review is solely based on that. Overall I was not really impressed by the food court food here. It's a solid option if you're looking for something reasonably priced and relatively quick but at least for the beef udon dish I got I'd say don't expect it to be restaurant quality. I ordered off a tablet and the only time there was human interaction was when they called my number/name out for me to pick up my food. Inside there aren't that many tables, and they aren't the cleanest. Definitely wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.

I've visited this Japanese marketplace at least 4x since discovering it last month during a house remodeling adventure in Fremont area. To be expected, we got the munchies and I went to my handy dandy helper - Yelpie - to assist finding us some good snacks in between our remodel hunt. Very lucky to have found this gem and for this amazing HH pricing too! After 5pm, all room temp/cool ready to eat items -- inari, poke bowls, nigiri, onigiris, bento boxes --- all 20% off. Selection varies! 5/5 Inari - perfect seasoned inari! Don't event meet soy sauce 6/5 Salmon Aburi - this is my 4th time visiting and I've never seen salmon Aburi here. Boy am I so glad I did!! It is my all time favorite. Not pictured cause it was devoured too quickly: 3/5 Beef Onigiri - never had this one before either. It was marinated well but happened to get too much rice ratio to protein on this one. 5/5 Salmon Mayo Onigiri - the way these things are packaged are so ingenious. My first time opening, I felt like I was living in 2030. Japanese makers found a way to properly separate the nori from the rice during packaging so it doesn't get soggy or moist while it's waiting to be purchased. Super cool! 5/5 Urchin - my bf loved this one! I normally don't enjoy this type so I did not try personally. 5/5 Mixed Poke Bowl - great variety of fish to rice ratio. Shoyu sauce (included) really brings out the flavors of the fish. You don't need much. Don't forget to ask for napkins and chopsticks at the register! Of course, I highly recommend and I will definitely be back forever until I move out of the area hahahahahaha! It's also worth the drive from Alameda!

Japanese food court situated within a Japanese market. The food was cheap but tasted amazing! Definitely exceeded my expectations. The Katsu bowl was around $9. Self order at the kiosk and they will call your order. I also recommend looking around at the ready made food inside the market. They have really fresh looking sushi, sashimi, grilled hamachi, bbq bowls, etc. all for an affordable price.

I was very excited to visit Osaka Marketplace. Honestly, I like to visit any big Asian markets. My husband and I visited for the first time, and we were immediately drawn to their fresh food area. Since it was the end of the day, lots of sashimi, chirashi bowls, and hot plates were on sale. We decided to try a few things. I always loved the fruit sandwich when I was in Japan, so I was happy to see that they had it here. The bread was soft and spongey while the cream was light and loaded with different fruits. I got 2 chirashi bowls which included uni, and they were delicious and fresh. They had a small platter of bluefin tuna which I made into onigiri the next day. All in all I would definitely visit again!

I always get the nigiri and it just piles up to close to $40. This time I went with the small sashimi plate. $28.99 After 20% off its $23. Just had to come here today after the reno trip. This would be like 30-$50 in restaurants all day.. cook some rice and its a pretty full meal I think best strategy is just go for one thing and straight to the cashier. Don't keep on looking at the other stuff. Don't let temptation get u

I was slightly ahead of schedule and wanted to surprise my in-laws with sushi for lunch. Since the Japanese restaurants aren't opened at that time, I decided to drop by Osaka to see if I could get something from here. I showed up around 10am and the refrigerator was fully stocked of sushi rolls. I ended up getting 3 sushi rolls and a beef rice bowl. Out of everything I bought, the only thing I tried was the flaming dragon roll. Let's just say, if you're looking for convenience, there are other supermarkets that sell better quality pre-made sushi. The raw fish that was on top of the sushi roll was thinly sliced and the tempura shrimp that was inside was cold and soggy. For the price I paid per roll, I could have bought freshly made sushi from a restaurant.

A quick update. I've been going here occasionally and actually pretty frequently in the past year as I have discovered the crab sando and shrimp katsu sando. I've tried all of their sandos and these are the two we always go back to. We went again recently around lunch time on a Sunday and finding parking was hard. It was a battlefield. When I used to go, it was around 1:30pm on Fridays which wasn't too bad. The crowd inside around the premade food Sunday was also quite busy. I've never had to wait for folks to be able to grab what I wanted. So quite lively inside during peak times. Multiple check out stands were open though which was nice. I always have to tell the cashier I have a rewards account as they seem to want to jump ahead to payment. I'm always midway entering my phone number before they cut me off. Oh well. They end up entering it on their end. Still a lovely market with various asian goods but with more a Japanese lean. I will always be back as long as they have their premade food items so I can get a quick lunch!

This grocery store is my go-to for fresh fish and ready to eat japanese meals! I recently got a huge sashimi platter with tuna, salmon, hamachi, scallops, masago and seaweed salad for $40 after the evening discounts and the quality was amazing for a platter from a grocery store. I used it to make hand rolls. Would recommend! The poke bowls and sushi seem great as well. I've tried the Too Good To Go order from the deli here too and the value is really good for $5. A box of mochi donuts, potato coquettes, and a small meat plate. I can always find parking here in the lot as well.

Osaka Marketplace is our go to place for Hotspot. They have everything we need to serve the entire family a delicious meal.

Cute Japanese market, so much to explore. Their sushi sectioned looked so good, unfortunately I was unable to pick out stuff because I live a bit away and was still shopping around so I didn't want to let it sit out. Their bakery section look so good too. They had some cut of meats for bbq or hot pot that looked fresh also. Next time I'm bringing a cooler

Very nice selection of plates and bowls. Prices are a tad higher although worth it. I got tons of snacks, sashimi, tobiko and a few other things to eat. A great way to walk off calories after eating at the Old Gui Lin noodles restaurant. I can't wait to bring my family here to do their shopping

Woooo what a fun Japanese marketplace! Groceries, beauty products, Sanrio goodies, candy, snacks, hot food, sushi. It's a pretty big place with discounted 20% off food boxes at night. Not sure if every night or the details because I stumbled in randomly, I was there on Saturday 7:30pm The Sanrio and Miffy items are pretty pricey. Fun to look at but no buying for me Fun Sanrio tote bags available for $3 with many designs. Quality is ok, wrinkles quick with each fold due to the material. I can't help myself from scooping those up because it's only $3! Some very interesting Asian produce like Taiwanese cabbage that is FLAT shaped. You ever seen such a thing?! And PINK PINEAPPLES, what?! Has Japanese food items and pastries and cakes you don't see normally around in other Bay Area supermarkets. A little taste of Japan to have here while you're suffering from JAPAN FOMO and waiting to plan your next trip there

Who can resist all the fun and fascinating snacks from Japan and Korea? So glad they're just a fingertip away! I always enjoy browsing the aisles at Osaka Supermarket--it's a treasure trove of tasty discoveries. Service is great and line was fast. Love the ambiance is like you are in Asia.

The Osaka marketplace is a food lover's paradise, offering a wide variety of delicious options in all sizes. The sashimi is impossibly fresh and absolutely irresistible!

Best market for all Asian style cuisine. They got fresh sushi trays, Korean BBQ style meats for grilling. Sandos & donburi bowls. Good bakery goods & snacks.

Prices are high but Japanese stores tend to be on the higher side anyways. There's a ton of people on weekends so parking is limited. A lot of goodies and sushi items but expensive.

Cute little Japanese market! I didn't get to explore it too much since we had to go somewhere, but it definitely brought back good memories of Japan. They had all sorts of foods, vegetables, fruit, snacks! I was impressed with their makeup selection and had fun browsing through everything. The line was quick, but it was around 10am on a Sunday. I will have to come back and shop around some more!

Quick synopsis - 4 stars for the actual marketplace, 2 stars for the food at the food court, ao averaged it out to 3 start. I was getting an alignment done on my car nearby and the wife and I are travelling to Japan in October so we've been trying to immerse ourselves in Japanese culture lately, (going to Japantown in SJ and SF). We decided to eat lunch here and kill some time. The food court has a decent array of options with Ramen, Curry, even Wagyu sandwiches and Takoyaki, (though the menu says "Tacoyaki"). They supposedly have Suishi there too but there was a sign that said that they were out and would be back in 15 minutes. This was wrong because we were there for about 45 minutes total and nobody ever came back. You order from a kiosk so if you want to ask questions about things you're kind of SOL. I ordered the beef Ramen and Wagyu sandwich because I wanted to try it. The wife got Tonkatsu Curry. The Ramen and Curry came out pretty fast, but we ended up waiting quite a while for the Wagyu sandwich. I went back to the counter a couple of times to ask about it and was told they forgot about it. They gave me the option of getting a refund but I wanted to try the thing so I decided to wait. The worker ended up giving a skewer of Tempura Shrimp because of our wait but even that was a little weird. It wasn't just a piece of Ebi. It had something squishy inside as well, like some sort of paste or something. It was very off-putting and I only ended up having 1 bite of the Tempura. As for the Ramen and Curry, they were ok. The beef on my Ramen was super over cooked but still ended up having a decent texture. But the noodles were definitely just something out of a package that you can probably buy in the store. The Tonkatsu was pretty good. As for the Wagyu sandwich we waited so long for, well it certainly was not worth the wait. There was way too much cole slaw on it so that ended up being pretty much all I tasted. When I took off the cole slaw and tried just the meat, it was pretty salty. Very disappointing. Hopefully the Wagyu in Japan is better. After lunch we walked around the market and had a good time picking out snacks and drinks. So the market section is cool but the food court kinda sucks.

This Asian market has everything that you can imagine from prepared food, bake goods, t-shirts, to regular Asian grocery. Walking in, can be overwhelming with the many prepared food. So many to choose. They have extensive sushi, sashimi and hot pot offerings too. There's a lot to check out if you are into Asian market.

I'm in love with this place! We went on a Sat around 11 AM and luckily it wasn't as crowded. Parking can be tight since it's in a plaza where there are other restaurants around. They mainly have Asian/Japanese groceries but also kitchen appliances, makeup, hair/skin care, LOTS of hot foods. They have a variety of Japanese hot foods that you can grab and go. The price is reasonable and the quality is high. They had sushi rolls, sashimi, sushi bowls, katsu, tempura, onigiri, spam musubi, and mochi donuts. They all sit cold since it's on the fridge - I'd recommend heating it up at home. There's a mini food court on the side where you can order or sit and eat the foods that you bought from the supermarket. Overall, I would definitely be coming back!

Cute Japanese market. Good variety of things. I like the ready made rolls and bowls. Pretty tasty stuff. I got an Albacore roll and Chirashi bowl. Both were fresh and chewy. And it's not terribly far from where we live. Service was nice and friendly. And inside seemed clean! Private lot in front!!

Wowwwww this place is amazing. The BIGGEST selection of Japanese cosmetics I've ever seen outside of Japan! They also have an amazing matcha and mochi selection, ceramics, mochi donuts, fresh onigiri, Japanese cleaning products, tons of organizational storage and home goods, fruit, milk tea, and sushi. The store is huge, super clean, and staff are so sweet. I could spend literal hours browsing. I came here for the fresh salmon ikura, and I also ended up grabbing: yuzu juice, daifuku mochi, an $18 case of fresh uni from Santa Barbara, a cute travel mirror and organic lip gloss. For the ladies -- PROTIP this is a great place to purchase organic Japanese pads. I know some girls stock up on those on trips to Japan, they are just so superior by design. Will definitely be back!

Love coming to Osaka Marketplace! We came on Sunday around noon. It was not busy. We love getting their sushi roll and sashimi! Also they have lots of Japanese skincare which I love when I can't go to Japan for them! They also have rewards points you can get by applying it online!

I came grocery shopping here after lunch. Whenever I am in the area, I would come here. They have some good selection of bakeries. Previous day bakeries if there is any left are always 20% off. I see lots mochi donuts left. A good place to drop by if you are in the area. My husband likes to get sushimi here once in awhile especially if there is closing sales or discounts.

I came here on a whim around 5pm-ish and snagged items that were marked down 20%. Sashimi is excluded from this discount. Considering it was the end of the day, I was genuinely impressed by the fish quality. The marketplace also has made-to-order food for dine in or take out. The nigiri and sashimi slabs are such a bang for your buck. Perfect for when you want a quick, balanced bite or when you have time to cut sashimi. --GRAB AND GO-- CHUTORO NIGIRI: 5/5 ($18.95 to ~$15) HAMACHI NIGIRI: 5/5 ($10.99 to ~$9) SALMON NIGIRI: 5/5 ($10.99 to ~$9) + All of these melt in your mouth as expected! You get 5 pieces of nigiri for this price, which is a great value for such quality fish + Better nigiri than some other sushi restaurants I've been to SALMON SASHIMI: 5/5 (~$11-$19) + Such a bang for your buck! The quality is amazing for the $15 slab of salmon we chose, and it made for 2-3 servings of sashimi! --MADE TO ORDER-- ICHIBAN TEN DON: 4.5/5 ($18) + Selection had good variety, and they were all tasty! Light batter with hearty pieces of veggies and shrimp UNAGI TAMA DONBURI: 2.5/5 ($15) + Unagi was delicious but way too overpowered by the pickled radish in the bowl. I wouldn't get this again

I was able to try sushi from this market using the Too Good to Go app - lucky me because these orders usually go very quickly! This is a relatively new Japanese market located in Warm Springs, Fremont and housed in a plaza with other Asian restaurants (including Boiling Point) and bakery (Pineapple King). It's pretty big and sells everything from boxed sushi to Japanese products such as shampoo, make-up, and even edible souvenirs. I saw my favorite brand of cookie all the way from Hokkaido, Japan - would make a great holiday gift for the office or someone who enjoys unique snacks. (Of course, since it's imported the prices reflect that.) The sushi rolls I got to try were pretty good - and you can't beat the price for the amount of food I got! I did heat them up at home to make it more of a warm, spicy roll. Pickup was easy, quick, and everything was beautifully presented. Lots of fresh seafood options on display, including sashimi, raw and prepared fish, and much more. I hope to come back here to try their deli (a friend told me the deli is better than the sushi in terms of too good to go) and other delectables!

Super delicious take out sushi! I got both a roll and a nigiri set, but the quality of the fish really shines through the nigiris! Highly recommend!

The market as a whole is japan heaven, I have only ever found 2 places in California that sells newish Kamen rider toys and this is one of them. Of course they got sashimi and sushi area They also got lots of bentos like a lot and onigiris Now for the food court area (yes they have a food court area) Karage skewer, extremely crunchy in the best way. Nice big pieces, nice and hot despite technically not being fresh. Near the end of chewing, noticed it was a lil too salty, and this is said by me who loves salty more than anyone in my family Tldr; best crunch, too salty Yakitori, some burnt parts but its fine. So much meat that i cant even hold it with a hand, i gotta hold it like a corn. Slippery on my tongue cause oil, but its not too oily, yet. Flavor isnt really strong but theres still flavor, just subtle. The best part about this is the texture, extremely tender, really easy to chew. Tldr; mid flavor, extremely tender Over all a good experience and especially all for only 11 bucks Self serve take out Self serve water Everything self serve besides food lol The food court restaurants dont really have a name? I think the skewer place I went to is called Happy Kokkekoko chicken as said below their table, not entirely sure Great food court, lovely chairs super comfortable Not too busy, I saw 2 people having a chat for like forever, i also saw small family for a bit and one worker would usually hang out in one of the chairs during their break too but still enough chairs for me to get the good ones (a couch) Food was delivered to me Awesome market, I would frequent it more if it wasnt so far from me 5/5 for the market For the restaurant I went to, despite it's flaws, the quality and quantity of food was still way worth it for the price and comfortable seating so 5/5 also

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. We've been to Osaka a couple of other times since our last review without writing updates. I can't help but wonder if that was a mistake. I think that for those who are new to Osaka, there is a certain amount of excitement to be had on their selection of grab and go foods and groceries. However, having exalted their business in the past and comparing those experiences to what we saw today, we are no longer fans. Sashimi and Sushi is much more than slices of raw fish and rice. There is technical technique to blocking the fish to create the best looking and eating slices. The rice must be properly seasoned. The rolls should be uniform and round. When looking at both the sashimi and the sushi today, it was obvious that the quality of the knife work has suffered. Uneven cuts make the food less than attractive. Food that is not attractive will not taste as good as food that is. While we were in the store, there was an employee who was loading cooked grab and go bento's onto a single deck reach-in cooler. As we watched, she moved various items and stacked them to accommodate all the freshly made items on her cart. The problem with this is that all refrigeration has a maximum load limit. When you stack items above the load limit, those items will not stay at safe food storage temperatures. The general rule is under 40-degrees Fahrenheit or over 140-degrees Fahrenheit. Between those two temperatures is an invitation for bacteria to reproduce and make people sick. We looked at the various sashimi and sushi and it simply was not attractive. The larger special combo's had uni in them that looked dark in color and unattractive. I won't say that it wasn't good to eat but I will say that I will not purchase any of their sashimi or sushi again until the quality has improved. I believe that they need to bring in a quality control expert to oversee what is being put on the shelves. I would have taken some photos of the issues that I'm describing but there were several signs at the front doors that prohibit photography without permission. We also noticed that both the produce section and grocery shelves were not full. Some items were faced up and there were holes in many places. Another indication of possible problems is that there were only two check stands open. On our previous visits, there were usually three or four check stands in use. We were there today on a Wednesday at about 11:00am. We're hoping that this was a one-time fluke and not an indicator of the direction that this business is going in.

I didn't know Osaka Marketplace was that close by! It has a shared parking lot and I came on a Monday afternoon so it wasn't too busy. The store is organized and clean, with everything you can think of from Japan! The sushi and sashimi looked very fresh and the prices are cheaper than the restaurants. Groceries were also cheap and fresh. I didn't get a chance to buy any of their prepared foods since I was too full from lunch, but I definitely will come back for their sushi!

The tonkatsu and miso ramen was good. Soup temperature was perfect, the meat was just okay for us but the serving was great. The chicken karaage was great. Meat was tasty and crispy. Service was great they put utensils, chopstick and napkins without asking. The place was simple but need a little bit of cleaning of the tables.

One of my favorite Japanese markets in the area. It's the perfect size of not too big and not too small. It has a great selection of snacks, sushi, cooked foods, produce, and anything else that you may want imported for Japan. Way better than any of the previous Asian markets that used to stand in that location.

This Japanese market has the biggest selection of chirashi dons, rice bowls, and sushi/sashimi options I've ever seen! I loved perusing the seafood aisle and trying to decide which one to get, since there's so many different options! I ended up with the Hokkaido don, which was $19 and includes salmon, scallop, ikura, uni, crab, and shrimp. There's also lots of sashimi platters and sushj rolls, so hope to come back and try one of the other options! I also saw some cute cards, key chains, and pins by local artists
