One of the mexican staff earlier this morning was so rude and can tell she HATES her job. She was the most unhelpful worker there. I wish I can rate negative because it's not a great way to start the morning. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE. If you hate your job so much go find something else.

I wish we had a Tokyo Central closer to home...so I'm always excited to visit one when I'm in the Torrance area. We last visited on Sat, 7/29/2023 after a summer visit to Torrance Beach. This store is jam-packed with so many Japanese goodies. It's like one minute you're in California, you close your eyes and walk in and BOOM, now you're basically in Don Quijote in Japan. They have sauces, fresh produce, ready-made bento boxes and sushi (which are kind of pricey), bread, and cup noodles that fill the wall. They also are well stocked in snacks, candies, makeup, haircare, skincare, etc. I spent so much time in the latter parts of my list and saw a lot of items that I purchased from Japan months back. One thing, I wish they carried more of was different brands of matcha - I was a little unimpressed with their selection. Customer Service: One downside, the workers aren't as cheery..def not as cheery as in Japan lol! The store was busy when we went so the cashiers prob weren't in the greatest moods. Tips: Check out the clearance sections..which funny enough...are near the restrooms. We got various cup noodles that were significantly cheaper since they were about to expire soon. Parking: Lots of parking since the store is located in a plaza, we never have any issues. Overall, I'm hoping to visit Tokyo Central again in the future esp when I need to restock on my Japanese hair, skincare, and makeup! Can't wait!! (^‿^v)

Small location. Some of the imported product is on the pricier side than other local chain Asian stores that sell the same product. Prices go up every time I shop there for some reason.

One of the best Asian grocery stores that I always buy bags of rice, etc. The one on Sepulveda there comes with an added benefit of being right next-door to. Daiso.

This location has a decent selection but the prices have gotten a lot higher over the years. My favorite section is the grab and go which has grown in options over time. Some of the prices for the items are a bit too expensive for a pre-made meal but the quality is relatively good. They have a lot of snacks and grocery options!

They are a famous supermarket in Japan. The name is Don Quijote(Donki-hote ドン・キホーテ). They are like Wallmart in Japan. Japanese grocery and kitchen ware, small appliances are available.

Very small, spices are small sizes, not much selection. Bathrooms do not have baby changing tables which is really inconvenient for families.

The good: I love coming to this grocery store and looking at all of their fun snacks! I like this Japanese grocery store more than Seiwa and Mitsuwa because it has a more authentic feel and seems like the prices are better. You can order sushi for catering here. They have a lot of beauty supplies as well as ready-to-eat foods. There's plenty of parking. They're next to Daiso. The bad: I bought a donabe clay pot here for $37 and then later found a ton of them at a Vietnamese market for as low as $4 and up to $20 (though the ones I saw at the Vietnamese market were made in Korea or China). Like every other Japanese store, stuff is expensive from Japan. The yuzu drink I got at Mitsuwa was cheaper than here. The interesting: The interior is a lot busier looking than the other Japanese markets nearby. There are balloons, lots of posters and a lot of things to look at all at once because of their busy shelves.

Eclectic variations of Japanese products and food ingredients/condiments/snacks/drinks found here. Good for a quick visit to find what you need. Ample parking lot, and next door to Daiso store. Layout rather tight, narrow aisles; products are surprisingly different yet might be because customer may not have been familiar with the Japanese brands. Great exploratory adventure.

Always a great store to kill time in, since there's so much to see. I end up buying something always. Got cool things that are imports.
