I love coming here and stocking up on supplies for my pantry. Some of the prices can't be beat here because it is cheaper than your local Asian grocery store. I don't come here often because I live about an hour away, but when I am here, I buy tons of Asian sauces and canned goods like coconut cream. They have a membership and it's free sign up and get the discounted prices.

So were already planning…read moreto head out to meet up with a friend around Rowland Heights and we asked him if he's heard of this ASIAN COSTCO. He said yes like it's just another regular facility but, ONCE we were shocked at what we found... ASIAN SNACKS: 10/10 Lots of my favorite snacks like wasabi shrimp snacks were available here. We are always blown away at how many ASIAN SNACKS were available here coming from the Inland Empire!!!LOL!!! I also found some greats deals in Noodles for HOTPOT. And also good deals on the PRICES in general. It looks like everything was about $2-$3 less than prices in the Inland Empire particularly in TEMECULA... I had a great time checking this place out and it's not as crowded as COSTCO... ASIAN COSTCO RESCO FOOD SERVICE FOR THE WIN!!!!

If you're looking for Asian snacks or Asian-flavored things, definitely come by to check this place out!

Awesome Japanese market, tons of things you wouldn't find anywhere else, including teas, sauces,…read moredesserts, beverages, etc. They even have a small section with various anime/japan merch before the exit along with some crane machines and games. The bathrooms are pretty clean and most of the prices are pretty reasonable. I do feel like some of the daily made food is a bit overpriced, but after 7pm, they do offer discounts. I do feel that the ambiance offers something very different than other markets as the store is usually decorated and generally feels clean, although it used to feel cleaner in the past prior to 2020. Always love visiting here from time to time, especially to get some sake. The size of this Tokyo Central is also a bit bigger than most others, but I do feel like other TC's are more modern and cleaner than this one, but you still can't go wrong here. Edit: I went today because I was in the area and the store feels much cleaner and they added a brand new sushi bar with a chef where the old anime stuff used to be. It's pretty nice and the store feels slightly refreshed. 4.5/5.

Manufacturer of the world-famous Sriracha sauce that is made from chili peppers, distilled vinegar,…read moregarlic, sugar and salt. It is perfect with Vietnamese pho and scrambled eggs and french fries. This sauce dates back to the 1980s at those Vietnamese restaurants and it's since taken off and gone mainstream. You'll find Sriracha at Wendy's and Chick-Fil-A and even Starbucks. Keep your eye out for some amazing Sriracha almonds. There's a supply crisis at the moment apparently caused by the California drought. Those delicious chili peppers are hard to grow without lots of water and so it's impacting the manufacturing process to a point that there's now a black market for the original Huy Fong sriracha. But I love it and thankfully have a decent supply to get me through. [Review 20014 overall - 472 in California - 989 of 2023.]

This review is for their hot foods only. I wouldn't recommend their grocery items because it's…read moreseemingly more expensive than other Japanese markets I've been to. Having gone to mitsuwa and Tokyo central countless times, Tozai really hits the spot when it comes to affordable Japanese food that actually tastes good. My only complaint is that their rice seems a bit overcooked. It's too mushy for my liking. Teriyaki chicken - extremely generous with the rice. The teriyaki chicken actually has a char taste to it which adds so much flavor to the chicken. There isn't too much teriyaki sauce, which I like. Tempura bento - really loved the tempura in here. Everything was fried just right. The batter is crispy and light. It's not greasy at all. The side dishes were delicious. The fried wontons were good but the fried shumai had a bit of a porky taste to it. California rolls - probably the best I've had in a Japanese market. The rice actually has a slight vinegar taste to it, which is lacking at other places. Croquette - it's meatless but still so good. It's potato only but has an occasional cheesy fragrance to it. Definitely coming back again for the food

Well they have super long lines and no baggers. So the cashier has to bag and it can take so much…read moreextra time. Unless you the customer bags your own stuff. But the elderly can't do that so it's why the lines are so long. Now here is the kicker. At the end of the checking line is a manager ...sometimes 2. A man and a woman. They are observing the long lines...counting something...just observing. It would help if THEY just go to the end of a long line and start bagging! See, that would be cool! You see you guys have not scheduled any baggers and the lines are so long they are down the aisles .. and you are just standing there? Of course they may say, well that's not my job. But that's the mentality that keeps things moving slow. It would be so nice if people just did what it takes to keep things moving. Either hire enough people OR get in there and start bagging! I remember back in the days there was a bagger at the end of each checkout aisle. A bagger and a casher! Those days are gone ...and most stores now see if they can get away with overworking the checker! Next thing you know they install self check outs! Rather than hire people and keep a system of people working they just get rid of people and have 1 person observing (like these managers were doing). What a world we are moving towards. But anyways that's what you see. I wish they would just hire bag boys and go back to the good ol days.
