The Calabrese spicy salami with nduja a salami spread and sun dried tomatoes and arugula. Messy but so delicious and unique flavors. yum 10/10 The chicken cutlet has a Alfredo cheese sauce and fresh arugula with a nice cutlet and a little lemon flavor. Hearty sandwich and mellow flavors. Delicious 10/10 Upgraded for $4 to get a drink and chips and we tried the black tea with peach and pomegranate so good from Italy with subtle flavors. The chips we tried lime and pink pepper and the paprika. it's a cute spot inside with pictures of Italian coast maybe portofino or Positano and some seating with additional outdoor tables and chairs. Frozen desserts available too. Wish they had spumoni because it's so hard to find and my favorite. I also purchased some tarallini crackers for hosting. I grew up eating these. nice to have a nostalgia moment. Thank you for bringing this delightful spot to PB! My husband is already looking at the menu for his next order.

I had so much fun exploring Tokyo Central & Main! What makes this place unique is that it's…read moreactually made up of three separate stores--two grocery markets and one dedicated to merchandise featuring everything from adorable Japanese plushies and cookware to cosmetics, electronics, and so much more. And yes...I had to explore all three! Both markets were bright, clean, and incredibly well organized. One of my favorite sections was the tea aisle. As someone who absolutely loves tea, I was in heaven. Their selection is huge, with everything from loose-leaf teas to powdered varieties that you don't typically find in traditional American grocery stores. I'll definitely be back to stock up on a few new favorites. I originally stopped in to purchase a matcha whisk set, but it was a little more than I wanted to spend. That didn't stop me from finding a few treasures, though! I ended up browsing the cookware section and picked up a beautifully designed set of reusable chopsticks along with beginner-friendly M-shaped training chopsticks. One unexpected highlight was getting to try a hand massage machine. It applies pressure to acupuncture points throughout your hand, and wow--it felt amazing! I'm seriously considering going back just to buy one. The produce section also looked fresh and inviting, so I can definitely see myself returning to shop for groceries. Plus, since my sons love anime, I already know they'll enjoy checking out the merchandise store with all the fun Japanese collectibles and character items. Whether you're looking for authentic Japanese groceries, unique kitchenware, specialty teas, or fun gifts, Tokyo Central & Main is absolutely worth visiting. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend stopping by--you'll probably leave with more than you planned, just like I did! And you already know you can always thank me later

This is by far the best Japanese Grocery Store in San Diego…read more I have been shopping here for years. I always find what I need. This visit I needed a special Birthday Cake for my mom.

My first stop after moving back to San Diego: my beloved local Nijiya Market Oh how I missed you!…read moreThis is my favorite of the 3 JP markets in SD. My home!!! First of all, thanks so much for being open on July 4th!! So appreciated. Happy to celebrate my United States of Nijiya today! When I lived in SD 3 years ago, Nijiya always had such an amazing selection of produce, shelf items, sushi, korokke, miso (I didn't see こだわってます today tho)... and today was no different even though it's a holiday. Super well stocked and clean, bright, welcoming. They always have like 5 different varieties of negitoro which is my fav. I can't even tell you how comforting it is to come back after 3 years in Ohio lol I love that they have herbs and plants outside. Can't wait to buy some and inevitably kill them by accident later :) Staff is always sooo sweet here. The line always moves really quickly. Fish quality is always so fresh and delicious. Maybe the bento boxes etc aren't as flashy as Mitsuwa (from what I remember) but they are tasty and not super expensive. I also love that they have so many types of korokke and yakitori. I am so glad to be back and soooo glad to get my comfort food & feeling from Nijiya today. いつもありがとうございます!!!

I also found some Portuguese EGG TARTS and bought some for my mom because they are her favorite!! SERVICE: Good service. Everyone seems to be there just trying to get through the day.

There was someone mopping so you know it's clean. The owners were very kind and the chef recommended the lamb and chicken over a bed of rice with chicken and raisins. We also split a Greek salad. The entree was so delicious! And they had some yummy sauces, not needed but added extra flair. The lamb was my favorite and my mom favored the chicken. There was enough for leftovers. My husband had a bite when I got home and loved the chicken, now he wants to go! So we will be back! Price was very reasonable for his yummy it was and the wonderful staff.

There was also a little grocery/market section on the side. Promptly the waiter came over and seated us and took our order. We had the mantu, chicken seekh tikka naan, and qabuli palow. Everything we had was full of flavor that's in harmony. The mantu was soft, creamy, and savory with slight tanginess. The meat from lamb shank was falling off the bone and the rice beneath absorbed its juices. This dish was fantastic but don't sleep on the chicken because it was moist and seasoned perfectly with the spices. This place is a keeper.
