I haven't been to this store since it was still Marukai - I stopped by as I was in the area shopping for something else at a nearby store. While browsing for some snacks, I found a bunch of cooking stuff that I needed to restock on, so it was good I decided to stop by. The store is well stocked in many different things and I was able to find what I needed/wanted pretty quickly and efficiently. The store is clean and things are laid out well. While it wasn't extremely busy, I kept running into other customers as I guess we all wanted the same stuff - snacks. Or does that I mean I have way too many snacks? The items in the store can be somewhat pricier than other asian markets with not much better quality. One (odd?) funny thing that happened was that I was carded for buying cooking sake and mirin - which was surprising, but at least they just didn't assume I was over 21.

At lunchtime they have fresh rolls, boxed meals, and snacks. They have a variety of items locally and from Japan. I remember when this location was a Marukai, but it's now a Tokyo Central. I had bought sesame oil, mirin, and cooking sake wine. I was surprised that I was carded for buying mirin. It's all good, it is the law to be carded for buying something that has alcohol in its ingredient.

I can't wait till Tokyo Center opens in Emeryville!! But for now, Cupertino location will do. Such a cute Japanese supermarket! Love it!

I love Japanese markets for the variety and the little knickknacks they have laying around at the store. Was pleasantly to surprise to find this to be converted from Marukai to Tokyo Central. I've been to Tokyo Central in Southern California so I was really excited though I will say this location is much smaller and doesn't have as much above a variety of stuff. Overall, good place to stop by to pick up your Japanese essentials and sushi. They do have a variety of offerings that have been imported from Japan as well. Cashiers are friendly and effective.

Been coming to Tokyo Central a long time, since they were Marukai Market. Their prepared sushi sale is something I'm tempted to gatekeep, but it's just so good. I usually get the best variety when I go before 5pm. Staff are always friendly and helpful, and the store is clean and well organized. It's not the largest store or the cheapest, but they have good quality and diversity of items stocked. The produce and frozen sections are smaller than other Asian markets, but TC is my go-to for prepared sushi and fresh packed seafood like their uni and sashimi. I always find something new to try when I go.

Nigiri and dragon roll were really good from this supermarket! Located in the same plaza as Daiso and Izumi matcha, the takeout sushi here is pretty fresh! Quick grab and go meal while grabbing matcha to take home as well!

First time here and discovered they sell Green Tea Roll Cake (organic)!!!! You must try as I was pleasantly surprised with the overall quality and price! I arrived around 7 so it was pretty much close to closing and their bakery options were already running low. Glad I found a couple more and grabbed myself one of these Green Tea Roll Cake! I will probably return in the future to try their other deserts and groceries. This establishment is pretty clean and well kept.

Quality/Quantity - One of our favorite Japanese supermarkets in the area. We always get our quick prepackaged sushi from here, amongst other quick prepackaged items. Their seafood department is also one of my favorites, yes prepackaged, but they sure look fresh. In my opinion, this company is a more "authentic" Japanese supermarket than others I have been to. Atmosphere - Good size, has all the departments; see pictures. Plenty of parking, but I suggest parking further as many of the people who frequent here have limited driving skills... Open 7 days a week from 8am to 9pm. Service - Good. I like the fact that they offer free ice, self-service. See picture. To keep our foods cold and fresh in this hot summer heat. Price - $26, reasonable price for what we got. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1965 and with your 13 locations, 12 of them in CA.
