The Oriental Shop is a Japanese grocery store that offers a wide selection of hard-to-find Japanese import items. The owners, a friendly and knowledgeable husband-and-wife team, are dedicated to providing customers with exceptional service and high-quality products. The store's selection includes sushi-grade fish, such as tuna, salmon, squid, and octopus, as well as a variety of fresh deli items, including homemade dango. Customers can also find an extensive range of Japanese ingredients, including natto, inari, hijiki seaweed, lotus root, konjac, burdock root, daikon radish, adzuki red beans, tamago egg pan, calpico concentrate, and a variety of furikake and okashi (Japanese snacks and candies). Reviewers praise the store's competitive pricing, noting that the prices are much lower than those found online. They also highlight the owners' willingness to answer questions and provide guidance, as well as the store's pleasant ambiance, with soothing background music. The only drawback mentioned is the store's cash-only policy, as it does not accept credit or debit cards. However, reviewers generally agree that the Oriental Shop is an excellent destination for those seeking authentic Japanese groceries and a unique shopping experience.
This shop is awesome! Though small it has a really good selection. The two people working there couldn’t have been any nicer! They went out of their way to help us and answer questions and give suggestions, and even wrapped up our frozen foods. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area. So glad we stopped... read full comment
