Located inside the first floor next to Sunrise Market, the ambiance can get chaotic during festival times and weekends. Sometimes you can catch them making a fresh one for you, but beware the rice is going to be too hot for your hands to hold. Lots of filling options. Good price for something very quick and convenient. I haven't tried their bentos and sushi so cannot say. I'd vouch for their rice balls.

If you are looking for something quick, Obentoyasan is definitely very fast for a snack. They…read moreprimarily have bento boxes and onigiri and they are priced very fairly. It's served fresh as you see many staff members making it on the spot for you; just to show that when you get it, it's actually hot! I don't really have much to say as I was in line for maybe five minutes, placed my order and then waited not too long for my onigiri to be delivered to my hands, pipping hot. If anything, I don't mind it being hot but just used to onigiri being hot. Generally they are cold at convince stores but that's not the case here. I think this is a great place to check out in Japan Village. The best part of all? It's right next door to the convince mart, and many other stalls if you wanted to go on a food sprawl!

In another world had we not consumed 3 matcha lattes today already, we would've tried the matcha mochi ice cream. Instead, we got the hojicha mochi ice cream.

There were jellies and red bean at the bottom too which I wasn't expecting, so it was a pleasant surprise! Only downside is that it was super messy and difficult to eat.

I visited Japan Village over the weekend for the first time. I know for sure that I haven't seen…read moreeverything it has to offer, but just from yesterday's experience, it gets 5 stars from me! There's so much to discover and experience there. Japan Village offers two dedicated floors with a wonderous assortment of eateries, shops, and courtyard areas at Building 3/4. The Loft on the 2nd floor also offers family friendly areas that kids can enjoy. I saw they also hold events and performances on occasion, and there are also displays and information about Japanese culture and events in the NYC-area (e.g. Japan Cuts: Festival of New Japanese Film '26 at Japan Society). I love the murals that decorate the hallways and walls in the courtyard. We had a lot of fun yesterday.

This is a neat place where the shopping (the cute dollar type store) outweighs the food. I would…read moreabsolutely go here more often if it was not almost 1.5 hours from my house. It was a fun experience for my son but my daughter has celiac disease and the only thing she could eat was ice cream. This is a common problem for her since wheat is in a ton of food. Since she is not used to this ice cream style, she didn't like it, but that's not on the vendor. My son enjoyed his ramen bowl. He said the sushi was in between a Japanese restaurant and store prepackaged and it was edible it just didnt knock his socks off. Overall a nice experience. I would love it if there was something like this in NJ

It's located close to a lobby with more seating plus there is ample spots outside to eat at if the weather is permitting. If I worked in the complex, then this would definitely be one of my go tos. I wish my office buildings had a spot like this. We came late in the day, so all the daily specials were sold out except for the fried chicken sandwich. Solid sandwich with crispy chicken and plenty of slaw to balance it out. It was served on white bread which was just the right thickness to hold everything together with diminishing the flavor of every bite. We also had a spicy tuna roll and a salmon & avocado roll. Aggressively seasoned rice which I liked. Interesting flavor coming through from the nori used in the rolls. I should have asked what they use. Staff was super friendly. Seemed like there were many regulars. They made a point to say hello and good bye to everyone. Great atmosphere here.

On the far left corner in Japan Village lies a ramen stall where you can order your food and sit at one of the nearby tables to dine in. The only downside is there are limited amount of seats at the counter and tables that are generally reserved for people eating. For a quick bite, you might have better luck at another place as this place does get packed. My visit, I think I was fortunate to have found a spot because my ramen bowl took a bit of time to make. For my bowl, I got the Black Garlic Tonkotsu DX. It consisted of four pieces of Chashu Pork, Bamboo Shoots, Scallions, Bean Sprouts, Cabbages, and Egg. A very simple dish but when executed right it is delicious. This was very flavorful after the first sip, I think it may be a tad salty ( as with much ramens ) but I enjoyed slurping down noodles and enjoying everything else in the bowl. I would say check this place out after a long day of shopping/visiting the rest of Japan Village. This bowl put me to sleep on my way back to my own state when I took the train ride home!

But it unfortunately it turned out to be Very Bad one. Even I could say Menya Sandaime (Korean owned) is still better. The soup is very pale, tasteless, I wonder why this can be said Tonkotus? Charshu pork really not juicy hopelessly dried and distaste, it's like a pork jerky or shoe sole. Menya Sandaime's charshu is much nicer. The noodle is "thin" I don't like the thin noodle, maybe it's OK. But I don't know what to say but Very Very boring Ramen, it's really got NO Ramen sprits. Honestly I must say I wasted $17. I hope Santoka-Ramen should replace this Ramen shop at Japan village. Let me say for the last, I'm really really disappointed!!
