Due to packed weekend schedule, I was out looking for something to eat. In Koreatown, that…read moreshouldn't be an issue but when your craving something to grab and go, the options are quite limited. I have been eyeing Yama for quite a while and this past Monday, I was able to find the time to go! Yama Sushi Marketplace reminds of stepping into a Japanese Grocery store. Snacks lined the center of the store, while hot food, pre-packed sushi line the wall. There is also a traditional counter on the right for sashimi and fresh fish cuts. Let's talk food, I got some assorted Nigiri ($11), Salmon Nigiri ($11), some 2 packs of Chicken Yakitori 2 Skewers per pack ($4/pack), tea, and soda. It all came out to $40. Though I don't normally like to pay that much for lunch, I didn't regret it one bit. The sushi tasted so good and fresh, while the skewers were hot and meat tender. Paired with the soda it make my lunch such a nice treat. Parking can be found for free in the facility located in the back and underground. When I visited, there was a lot of parking so no issues there. If you would like to eat there, there are some small tables set up outside for you to enjoy your food. I will definitely come back again as they do have bento options, which after this last visit makes me want to be a regular. Cheers!

The good: This is a super interesting market that differs…read morefrom most Vietnamese markets I've been to because the population also caters to Caribbean (I think?) people and offers a variety of different international cuisines. They're popular for their fried fish. While the Vietnamese selection is smaller than other Vietnamese grocery stores, it had everything my mom needed (which is often the herbs). The prices were also fair. I am glad this market exists so I don't have to drive as far to Westminster area to get my Vietnamese essentials. The bad: It's not the neatest looking market inside. It could updated, more modern and cleaner. The interesting: They fry the fish for free for you up until 10 minutes before closing time.

I can understand that we are all going through a hard time, but if you raise the price for chicken then why don't you keep the quality? More money for smaller skinny chickens is unreasonable.

It's hard for me to believe that I've never written a review of Seafood City. Being Filipino, I've…read morebeen to this grocery store so many times. I've practically grown up going to Seafood City . From the Filipino music that is playing throughout the store to the fresh fried fish, this store literally screams "Filipino!" One can find a lot of Philippine brands that can't necessarily be found at other grocery stores. Adjacent to Seafood City is Red Ribbon and Chow Fun. They also have a Grill City inside the grocery store. Being Filipino, we do love our food after all. I'm glad Seafood City is around - giving the comfort of Filipino grocery shopping right in the heart of Carson.

I go here often and recommend Nijiyas for a great meal or to shop.

I initially walked into this Japanese market next to Red Rock because I had time to kill, and I…read morelove wandering around Japanese markets anyway. Wow. There is SO much in here. They have a food court, a bakery that looked ridiculously good, and a huge grocery selection. I kept finding sauces and products I hadn't seen at other Japanese markets. But the prepared-food section was what really got me. Everything looked incredibly fresh. The onigiri alone had me wanting to start grabbing things even though I had literally just eaten. I basically walked around realizing I need to come back hungry because there's way too much here that I want to try. Definitely one of those markets I could accidentally spend way too much time in. One thing I would not lock yet: the Japanese market's name. From your description I know exactly which experience you're talking about, but I don't want to guess the business name and attach the review to the wrong place. Also, before we redo Big Dan's, I'd check whether you already reviewed it since you think you may have.

3rd time's a charm, and by "charm," I mean I finally confirmed that the problem was never me…read more The first time I purchased king crab from this market, I bought two bags at $175 each. When we cracked the legs open, there was a thick, rubbery, shell-like layer wrapped around the meat. We assumed we had overcooked it, accepted our $350 lesson, and took it on the chin. Against my better judgment, I returned and spent nearly $385 on 2 five-pound bags of king crab and a bag of shrimp. The shrimp were fine. The crab? Same problem. Initially, I steamed a few legs for about 10 minutes and thought, "Okay, maybe I overcooked it again." Thankfully, I had only removed what I planned to eat and kept the remaining legs frozen. Today, I decided to test that theory. I removed three legs, steamed them for 5 minutes.... Literally set my timer for 5 minutes and what do you know, same exact result. As the pictures show, this is not the crab's normal thin membrane. The hard outer shell literally separates from a second, soft shell underneath it, leaving very little edible meat. I paid for king crab, not an expensive scavenger hunt for actual crab meat. At these prices, customers should not be sold poor quality, double-shelled crab legs. After spending more than $700 here across 2 visits and having the same issue each time, I'm officially done conducting experiments. This market has had multiple opportunities, and unfortunately, the crab failed every time. 3rd time's a charm because there definitely won't be a 4th

The good: I stumbled upon this place by accident because the…read morerestaurant nearby wasn't open for dine-in. I ended up loving our meal here! We got fish and chips and ceviche. There were tons of seafood options. I noticed lots of people enjoying crab. The dining is under a cover but is "outdoors". You can see the boats and marina from here. The seafood was freshly cooked. They have oysters, uni and lots of fish options too. You order and then wait for your number to be called. The atmosphere is super casual. The bad: There aren't a lot of tables for larger groups so you might have to sit separately. Alternatively, you could take the food to-go and picnic at the beach. The interesting: My friend didn't enjoy his lobster roll much but perhaps it depends on the style of lobster roll you get. The interesting: They have a lot of beer options.

We returned to get the price adjusted, and then tried to buy 2 more, because it says promo ends 9/27.

I found parking in the front but learned after my visit that there is additional parking in the rear--using that option next time. I ordered the Thai Tea Matcha and the Peach Cobbler Matcha, both iced with oat milk--both tasty! The flavors were nuanced especially the spices in the peach cobbler syrup. Not over sweet--major plus. The matcha was prominent and was vibrant in color. First time having Thai Tea with matcha and it works! The earthiness from the matcha brings out the tea flavor, IMO. I highly recommend! The menu features a variety of signature drinks, including Rosemary Fig and Blueberry Chai. Additionally, they offer cold brew, drip coffee and espresso-based drinks. Drinks might be in a rotation so there is something new to try to every week. The place is spacious, the decor is inviting and complimentary Wi-FI is available. I also purchased a shirt and my total came to $78, including tax and tip. I plan to return! Support local and shop small!

I tried their Blueberry Matcha and their Peach Cobbler - Both were not too sweet, and it really tasted like I was drinking a blended peach cobbler pie and blended blueberries. I think the magic is in how the owner makes the syrup - It tastes authentic to what the name is. I think this is the best flavored matcha drinks in the South Bay. It doesn't have a manufactured taste to it, I swear the syrups are home made LOL. I love the atmosphere inside - Hanging plants, artwork on the walls, good vibes all around. There's a lounge in the back but I didn't check it out. Service was fast and friendly. Will be a repeat customer!
