Genkiya Mart sells all types of Japanese food. They have ready made foods for take out. We got our first snack of the day. We chose the shrimp shui mai. It was several fat dumplings filled with small shrimp. Very good choice!

Heard good things about Genkiya. I went a bit too early as I wanted some onigiri but not available until 10AM. There is a wide range of snacks, ramen, udon, cute merch, drinks. Staff is nice with a smile. Will make another trip to catch the onigiri. Items such as sushi, bento and onigiri are 50% off after 8PM.

Whenever I need a snack or pick me up, I stop by here. It's located by the 6 station too. I always get sushi and eat at one of the two tables they have by the front.

Every single night at 8pm, people line up to get sushi, bentos, onigiri, and more at 50% off from Genkiya Mart, a Japanese grocery store in SoHo. Come a bit earlier to choose what items you want for dinner (or lunch the next day) and wait until 8pm to check out. There's going to be a long checkout line, but it moves fast! The staff are friendly, the mart is well organized, and there are two clean tables inside that you can eat at. The avocado they use in their food items is so creamy and soft. This may be one of the best sushi deals in NYC and is a solid option for a quick grab-and-go meal in Manhattan. What we got: (2) sushi boxes: eel avocado & spicy tuna with salmon avocado (1) rice dish: chicken karaage don (2) onigiris: Shrimp tempura & lobster onigiri Total: $22.50 after 8pm

L was watching a Mike Chen video and he really liked this place. I don't agree with most places he recommends so we wanted to check this place out since we were going to be in the area. It's seems like a clean market... a lot of the products are really highly processed and the fresher items like veggies.. are really pricey..I can get them delivered to my house for less than half the price. A lot of young people appeared out of nowhere. Once it hits 8pm, the sushi, bentos, and onigiris are 50%. Line went quickly so at least we didn't have to wait long. Most of the customers are college students but some of them can clearly afford better food than supermarket sushi... I can't recommend the sushi.. It tasted like old supermarket quality sushi cuz we did buy it around 8pm. I don't know what I was thinking. It had good reviews. It's not worth the 50% off. So bad.. I would never get sushi from a market again. We couldn't finish the food and threw away half of everything. I tried a few bites of the rice ball, few bites of the toro sushi box and a few sushi rolls. The rice was still so cold and a lil hard even after the commute home. The sashimi fish boxes are not worth it. It's just a lil fish with a ton of hard rice that doesn't taste good. And I love rice. The rice balls did have more protein than more popular places I've been to, but Genkiya's was pretty bland. One of the 2 drinks L bought was also pretty horrible.. I won't be back. Still very clean and the staff were nice.

I was drawn by the 50% off sushi, bento, and onigiri after 8pm so I decided to get some myself. I got the eel, tuna avocado + spicy tuna, and a spicy crab ongiri, all of which totaled a bit more than $12 after discount and taxes. It is an amazing deal as it is a lot of food, but the sushi was so mid and not the freshest. I would've written it off for the amazing value but I just can't, since the salmon was quite fishy and the eel was slimy and fishy. It's as if the sushi came from a grocery store (I guess it technically is, but you get what I mean). People shop before 8pm then wait in line until 8pm to start checkout, so I recommend going early for the ample selection or just skip the lines by taking chances on what's remaining thereafter.

Nice & neat Japanese market with a good selection of Japanese & Asian groceries (snacks, some fresh produce, sauces, noodles etc.). Prices seemed reasonable / at market rate. Everything was well organized and clean. I think the biggest draw might be the 50% off prepared items after 8pm (sushi, bento boxes, onigiri). I happened to go there around 7.50pm by chance, wondering why a whole bunch of people had food in their hands and were lingering around the store. The moment it hit 8pm, they all started lining up to pay. I took advantage of that and indeed got a great deal on avocado maki rolls and seaweed salad onigiri- this came out to ~$6 with the 50% for both items! I think the onigiri was $3 and avo sushi was $9, before discount. The avocado sushi was so good!! LOTS of avocado and a very thin layer of well seasoned rice- just the way I like my maki rolls. Overall- nice grocery store. If you are in the area around 8pm, you will get a great deal!

I stumbled upon this Japanese supermarket one night in Soho. They have a 50% off sushi, bentos, onigiri after 8 pm each night. When I went in at 7:45 pm, people start gathering their items and at 8 pm on the dot, they start lining up to pay. So if you want to get the deal, go there early. Will definitely stop by another to buy their other items before 8 pm.

Can't go wrong with 50% off their sushi / hot foods selections after 8pm!! It makes the food SOO worth it! I do recommend getting there a bit before 8pm to scope out and pick the options you want before most people come and grab the good stuff. LOVE getting the onigiris and sushi boxes. Their sushi boxes come in either one or two types of rolls / sashimi. They also have a breadth of hot foods, ranging from miso soup, to takoyakis, to rice bowls. Overall, can't complain for their sale price!!

Great selection of hot food- after 8pm there is 50% off all onigiri, noodles, soups, salads and sushi. Great bargain. The staff are super friendly and the vibe is chill and you can eat at a table inside or outside.

Salmon bowl. Bowl is mostly filled with rice. No ginger, nothing.

Prepped food has really gone down. Paid 16 dollars for essentially a bowl of rice. No longer worth it for a quick affordable lunch.

Thought I should give them another chance from last time which was seven months ago back in October 2023. Of course, they still have the awesome 50% off deals on all bentos, rice bowls, sushis, and onigiris after 8pm daily. As soon as I'd walked in, so happy to see that they've finally put in a microwave for customers to warm/heat up their food like rice bowls and miso soups. Not only that, but also the food would look fresher than before especially the rice bowls. People should've the option of being able to eat warm food right after making a purchase in my opinion. I'm just really glad that they've finally decided to add in that feature which will not only benefit everyone in the future but also the staff and us customers. Ambiance wise is like your typical deli/grocery store but a whole lot cleaner and brighter.

This is a hidden gem located in the Soho neighborhood. 50% off sushi, bentos, onigiri, and sandwiches daily after 8 pm. The pork katsu curry is delicious and has separate compartments for the curry and katsu. The spam musubi and the Japanese egg sandwich are as good as well. Service is friendly and quick. The supermarket itself is very clean and neatly organized.

There are a number of similar names for this small, but mighty, establishment floating around on…read morethe internet: Ninth Avenue International Foods, Ninth Avenue International Market, International Grocery & International Food, Ninth Avenue International Grocery, or just what's written on the sign: International Grocery. Whatever the actual name, it seems that this Mediterranean specialty store has been open since 1947, run first by the Smitsis Family, and then the Karamouzis (including brothers Sotiris, Dinos, and Panayiotis). The Karamouzis moved it a few doors north to its present location in 1983. The neighborhood around the store has evolved a great deal over the years, but inside, old world charm persists. Everywhere you look there are bulk bins, barrels, and sacks brimming with: - Spices: all the staples needed for Mediterranean, Indian and North African cuisines, including za'atar, dried tamarind, cloves, allspice, rock salt, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, red pepper, black mustard seed, etc... - Dried fruits: pineapple, apricots, raisins, figs, diced orange peel, dates, etc... - Dried nuts: cashews, macadamias, almonds in every form, walnuts, pistachios, etc.. - Grains, beans, lentils, and flours - Coffee I love that International Grocery has stuck with bins and barrels for all these years. Bulk bins were the norm when the store first opened and are so much more environmentally friendly than the ubiquitous single use plastic packaging we see nowadays. Environmentally conscious folks are increasingly coming around to appreciate bulk bins and I wouldn't be surprised if they became the hot "new" trend in coming years. If you stick with something for long enough, it comes back into fashion, right? The wonders don't end with all those glorious bins, however. Far from it. Improbably, all of the following (and more) also neatly fit into a store the size of a suburbanite's two-car garage: - Olives -- about 10-15 kinds by my last count, but I've seen even more varieties at times. I love my crisp, green Castelvetranos and black Kalamatas; the Progeny loves her pimento-stuffed Manzanillas. - Antipasti (mushrooms, artichokes, giardiniera, gigantes plaki) and preserved lemon peel - Feta (Bulgarian, Greek) and other cheeses - Tzatziki and other spreads - A variety of fresh and packaged pastries (baklava, kourabiedes, koulourakia) and halvas - Olive oils, pomegranate molasses, carob molasses - Pita breads and pasta - Rose water - Amardeen (an apricot leather used to make a Syrian drink of the same name) Prices are quite fair and the owners + staff are kind, generous, gentle and gracious. When my 10-year old privately expressed interest in the orange peel to me, one of the owners overheard and offered her some to try. They didn't look at all askance when she delightedly opened various bins to sniff the beautiful aromas within. (I did teach her to waft the smells to her nose by hand a la chemistry lab, instead of sticking her head into each bin.) As much as I detest the areas around Port Authority -- it's one of the dirtiest, smelliest parts of NYC -- I do go out of my way for International Grocery and will for as long as we're both around.

Absolutely love this place! First found it when looking for some spices I'd never heard of before…read morefor a Palestinian dessert. International Grocery had these and many other spices, grains, nuts, flours, everything you can think of, from multiple cuisines from many cultures around the Mediterranean.

** This review is specifically for the Fujiissa Cafe stand inside Hashi Market. **…read more During our mid-afternoon break, my friend and I walked over to Hashi Market to see if there were any snacks we can grab to munch on. Their fridge was stocked with different to-go sushi options and pre-made rice bowls. Sadly, I wasn't hungry enough for a whole meal, but I did notice the matcha stand right at the entrance. I told my friend I would just "take a look," but somehow ended up walking out with a drink. MATCHA COCO - 8.80 I watched the barista dump in slabs of ice cubes, maybe 3/4 of a bottle of Vita Coco coconut water, and pre-made matcha foam from a plastic container. I was completely flabbergasted at the price of the drink for such a basic preparation, and I prepared myself to hate it. Despite being incredibly overpriced, I couldn't deny how refreshing it was. The coconut water wasn't too sweet, and its smooth, light flavor paired well with the airy matcha foam. I didn't hate it. I wanted to, but I couldn't. At this price point, I can't say I'd go out of my way for the Matcha Coco despite how delicious it was. If I ever come back to this Hashi Market location, I'll probably spend my money on the prepared foods instead.
