What an amazing find! This place reminds me of 7/11s in Korea because you can buy ramen, cook the ramen, add the toppings, and eat the ramen here! So convenient especially if you need to take a quick lunch break. They have different options of ramen you can choose from and the store in the back has different japanese snacks, makeup, and collectibles. They have some sonny angels here and smitskis if you collect them! The sonny angels are around $28 for one which is expensive but definitely on the cheaper side for resale. Very cute find!! Cute hole in the wall shop! It extends pretty far out so the store at first looks small but it's pretty spacious. read more

The first time I been to this place, my friend showed me where it was and I have been back countless times since! Ebisu is one of my favorite stores ever! They have a huge selection of food, snacks, makeup, toys, cutlery and kitchen supplies, bathroom decor, everything you can think of they have it here! And everything is authentic from Japan! They have mini shopping baskets which I love also, and the prices are very good! I go here every chance I get and I can't wait to go back! read more

This spot was a cute Chinatown find! You can pick and make your own ramen on the spot along with having a wide variety of well-priced toppings. The service was very friendly and helpful as we figured our way around. The store, hidden like a little gem in the back, has everything you could need from beauty products to snacks. read more

It's wonderful everyone is so kind and sweet! The food is amazing and the place is clean no dirt or anything.

This store was in the China town area which was fun to explore. This store had a huge selection of Japanese goods. And I can't believe how much cheaper they were than the store in Denver. So glad I was able to get m favorite tea and stock up on some Japanese snacks. read more

What a gem for ALL of your needs. Snacks, candies, bevs, gapochon, home wares, toys...this place has it all. There's a mochi doughnut in the front and the Ebisu store in the back and downstairs. I grab my Hello Kitty wet wipes that I keep in my car from here, along with other cute necessities. I also love their reusable bags- I use them as lunch totes. read more

This store is very unique because it sells Japanese products that you can't find anywhere else. The store is very clean and organized. Staff greeted the customers who came in. They open at noon. You can enjoy beautiful and enticing mochi donuts by Mochinuts at the entrance of the store. The first floor is mostly for food and cosmetics, downstairs is for household items. Make sure that you know what you're buying because I read a sign that sales are final. read more

Store is huge and there's so much to look at. They have everything here. Ground level: beauty, food, plush, gacha machines. Basement: toys, home, body & hair care. Overall clean and bright. There are so many workers scattered all over so that's convenient if you ever need help. read more

This is a small little Japanese goods shop in the middle of Chinatown that also offers mochi donuts. The donuts are gourmet priced at $5-7, so definitely more than your regular donut but that's to be expected. The shop itself is a collection of random Japanese goods. From toy kiosks to snacks, ramen, and home goods, there's a variety to look through. However, the store is a bit small and cramped. Overall it's one of those places to stop and look, not necessarily a place you regularly go to when looking for specific items. read more

Ebisu Life Store - Mochi donuts on display. - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

It's a fun place to browse. It's a bit expensive, but they carry some products that are difficult to find elsewhere. One relative was pleased to find some skincare products. I loved the selections of snacks/food, though some items were far more expensive than I'd seen at other markets. The lower level has some fun housewares. And the vending machines are also a fun stop. Worth a visit! read more

Newly opened store, cool items but slightly overpriced, there are a couple stores with the similar concept on N 10th street. And there are certain things that are exclusive here, still worth a trip to check them out! read more

I love this store. It is two floors of everything Asian that you might want. It has a lot of super cute plushies and anime figurines. They have delicious snacks, toys, kitchen stuff, and more. You have to check it out. The store shares a space with Mochinut, which is nice to have while you shop. You can order different flavor mochi donuts. read more

New Japanese store in Chinatown. You have to go through Mochinut to get to the store. Has 2 floors (ground floor, and basement). The first floor consists of drinks, snacks, cup ramens, and some health and beauty. Basement level has toys, kitchen items, stationery, and health and beauty. I think their health and beauty has the most varied items. It is clean, but they need to lower the volume of music in the basement, it gets too distracting and not pleasant. For non Japanese or Asians this store will be a good one, but I grew up in Japan and the only thing that excites me is their health and beauty section. Overall, a nice experience. read more

Really cute store with everything from toys to housewares. Reminds me of a Daiso store, but just a little pricier. Don't forget to grab a mocha donut on the way out! read more

This store is literally hidden behind a mochi donut and boba place. They have a great selection of snacks. They had a lot of Japanese claw machines here but the small ones were a bit much for what you got. The basement has more beauty and home items and the prices were great. Highlights included bath bombs and hello kitty toilet paper. We loved it and will return. read more

I didn't know they are making Japanese market in Chinatown. I was shopping at chinatown walking to bus stop. DJ was out side making noise so I just curious what happen there. went inside found out this is Japanese market and opening day..oh very nice ( to me ) I just forget to buy some candy at maido May be they have so I just waited at the line. Just opening week people want to know what it is so don't care waiting... ok I'm in 1 st floor is snacks and drinks. Many are very familiar.. ok good but I want go to downstairs. Place are very small but neat . I'm Japanese so I pick up and read all of the staff they sale. But I hear from my back they need instructions. Yea, they have some Chinese instructions but not English. Please explain English not a Chinese . It's ok to have a Chinese but definitely need English instructions. Visitor from somewhere can't understand! Pease make english guide... but I'm glad Japanese market here in Chinatown. Sometimes can't find Japanese staff in Chinese market... !! read more

Right in the heart of Chinatown. Clean, well lit, lots of space, authentic Japanese products. It ranges from figurines, hair products, food, dishes, cleaning supplies, etc. there is a donut shop in the front as well. I haven't tried the donut shot because I always end up here later in the evening. read more

It's nice to have this store in Philly. We need more Japanese fun shops like this in Philly. I think people won't understand where it is because the bubble tea store is in the front. Maybe they take that out and just have full market and supplies store read more

This place sells a lot of japanese snacks, toys, plushies and other unique items that you can't find else where. I went on grand opening weekend like the other reviews says where it was overly packed but that's because ebisu is a very popular store and the first in PA so during grand opening everyone went crazy lol I went a few other times to bring my cousins on a normal day and it wasn't crowded at all. You really can't find these items else where. Very exclusive and limited. Definitely worth a visit if you're visiting from outside the city especially going into chinatown, always feels like i'm in japan the whole vibe and everything. Worth the price and experience IMO read more

The store is 2 floors, but pretty small and cramped. That's to be expected since it's in the city though. We went this opening weekend so we were constantly stuck in aisles with other people walking into us. It's filled with an assortment of Japanese snacks, drinks, makeup, skincare, home goods, hair products, etc. The selection is pretty limited, but you might find something of interest. Some of the skincare/makeup in particular seemed overpriced compared to Mitsuwa or ordering online, but some of them were ok-priced. Overall, it's okay. Would not recommend waiting in line for the store...it's only worth a quick stop and go. read more

if you're black, don't even bother going inside or ever giving them a single cent if your hard-earned money. they racially profile you and will follow you around the store and watch you like a hawk. my best friend and i literally cane in because we had never seen the store before and wanted to check it out. we saw that the inside was aesthetically pleasing, so we wanted to take some instagram pictures in front of the crane bachines in the back. once we were inside, the employees were trailing behind us pretending to "fix" merchandise. it's 2024. start calling out these racist ass establishments and putting your money elsewhere. read more

Would not recommend. They overprice everything. One plushie can cost anywhere up to $50 for something small!!

Nephew was excited to go for anime figurines but they didnt really have much but statue type figurines.

Horrible with exchange policy... sold a broken item and not allow you to exchange.
