    We stopped in after having lunch next door so that I could buy some tea. I haven't been in since it changed owners and found it to be stocked well. I didn't realize they had sushi until seeing the previous reviews. So, now I have to try their sushi! I also think my grandson would really enjoy the vending machines. The owners were friendly and welcoming.

    If you have lived in Japan, love home style Japanese food or just love making good Japanese food at home, you have to come to Coco Sakula for your Ohio oasis. I was so excited to hear about this place soon after moving here and I can't wait to come back :) They had some items I have had trouble finding at Jungle Jim's like the right type of frozen udon, kirimochi, the right type of rice... okay, so I'm just picky but they also had good looking sashimi-grade yellowtail & tuna as well. I so appreciate that they have stuff I need!! It's a small store but I wasn't really lacking for anything except for stuff that's not really available in Ohio like fresh mochi etc. Also I wish there had been Jpop playing lol. I came on Sunday so there wasn't much ready food available like I see in the other pictures. A wife/husband duo are the owners (? maybe?) and they were super sweet. I ordered a gyudon and some sushi and they indulged my forgetful Japanese with a really nice conversation!! We complained about the lack of good Japanese food in the area and how expensive it is lol. The gyudon is so good, it's so nice to have home cooked food that I don't have to make myself! I will be back often :)

    The most adorable, authentic, and peaceful little Japanese grocery. They have fantastic lunch options; quick, low-key and delicious. Pro tip - the menu is in the back on a chalkboard, but you'll go to the cashier in the front to place your order. I love the katsu (fried pork cutlet) curry with rice. Also some great to-go options. Try their kelp (Hijiki) onigiri. I'm especially fond of their lovely egg salad sandwiches made with Japanese mayo. And, of course, anything you'd need to cook some killer Japanese food at home, including a fresh produce section, sushi grade fish, and dry, cold, and frozen goods. Prices are very reasonable. The owners are friendly and hospitable. Perfect place to visit for a nice, quiet lunch.

    I love this cozy space for children as a child therapist. :)

    I went to this store today, after I was looking for umeboshi(Japanese plum) Onigiri. It was the right flavor that I was so craving for. My husband also got 3 sushi rolls(spicy tuna, spicy salmon, Philadelphia roll) and all ingredients were very fresh. Both owners were super friendly and he wanted to know if we are from near. Even though we live 3 hours away from this store, we'll definitely love to come back when we have another chance to visit this area!

    Fresh made bread selections (they are ready every Thursday morning)!

    Loving their selections! Though their Japanese food distributors, coco Sakula has unique items that fresh made bread ( be ready every Thursday morning), loaves of bread( 4 cuts/6cuts/10cuts) for only $3 of each. Owner used be a sushi chef, so he'll make sushi bowl, nigiris, rolls and bento upon requests. I highly recommend to go for a big hunt of unique Japanese foods !

    Dining in area with complimentary self service water.

    First time back since they've re-opened and I believe it's now under new ownership. It was so organized and clean. I was greeted with friendly smiles and a welcoming vibe. The staff was so friendly and patient. I bought a salmon onigiri while I waited for my dine in chicken bowl from their cafe and one of the ladies saw that I was struggling with the onigiri wrapping and helped me right away. It's a special style of wrapping where the seaweed and the rice are wrapped separately. The salmon onigiri was amazing. The salmon was so flavorful bringing back memories of my time in Japan! Their cafe offers a daily menu which I ordered the chicken bowl and it was so good. The chicken was so tender and the portion was big that I couldn't finish it all. Best part, my chicken bowl was already in a takeout container so I could easily take home my leftovers. They also have a menu with a wide variety of sushi which I will try next time. Theres also a small selection of made to order dishes and appetizers in the back by the cafe cooler. Highly recommend!

    Happy Promise custard cream cakes from Korea, Hello Kitty mini puddings from Taiwan, garlic (or…read morewasabi, take your pick) crispy peas from the good ol' PROC... Huy Fong Vietnam Chili Garlic sauce in a jar.... Hong Kong moon cakes in mini tins within a beautiful gift tin. Quail eggs, duck eggs (fresh or pickled), bok choy, bean sprouts, exotic greens. Dried noodles, dried peppers, dried shrimp. "Houston Cowboy" brand flavored soda from the Philippines. Spare ribs, pork loin, ground pork, pork hearts, a whole pig's head looking right at me from the butcher section. A wall of frozen foods, didn't study them but I did notice pot stickers (imported from an Asian country, needless to say). English as a second (or third) language on every can, box and bag. Oh.... and Tiger Balm! It's a fully complete small local independent super mart. As a native New Yorker of Italian and Polish descent, I'd call this store THE most authentic, and complete, Asian mart in the area ... perhaps the only one, too? Been here twice, the other shoppers were all Asians, as were the staff. Felt like I was back on Main Street in Flushing for a while. Which is cool. The first time we stopped in, I bought a small jar of that chili garlic sauce, which is made by the same folks who bring you Sriracha rooster sauce. In fact the jar has the same rooster logo. Never saw it anywhere else and wanted to try it. That jar got used up PDQ so we came back today for the large economy size. And of course grabbed some other goodies as well. Gotta love those happy Asian cakes, cookies, and crunchies. Prices were more than reasonable, if you're looking to stock up on any type of Asian goods, I'd say skip Jungle Jim and come here instead. Friendly employees/owners, too, who seemed happily amused by my enthusiasm for Hello Kitty - and my reaction to the pig's head. Ahh, would that we had a similar ITALIAN mart within striking distance! I continue to hope and dream. This place is meant to be Asian, though, and since Asian it is, and a complete market, five stars it is.

    I've never been to an Asian market before so I had few expectations. I was really happy with my…read moreexperience. The woman working got fresh bean sprouts from the back for me. She answered my questions and helped me find things. The produce, although a little disorganized, was fresh. Some of the packages simply said "vegetable" and I'm sure regular customers know what they are looking for, but again, I got lots of help. I wasn't impressed with the meat but I did get frozen salmon and halibut. The store is a bit cluttered but I think that it's fine. Don't be bougie about it and you'll be glad you went. I got a ton of fresh food for $42.
