    Had a delicious standup and takeout lunch at their Bloom N Bites event. We got spam musubi, fried chicken karaage, gyoza, and ohagi.

    I like supporting indie, mom-and-pop businesses and Maruta Shoten is one of them. This spring, my hubs and I went there a couple of times. Some things are good, some not. It's a mixed bag. For example, we enjoyed the ohagi (sweet rice balls covered with red bean paste) that are offered on Tuesdays and Saturdays at $4.75 for two. We also like the 6-piece gyoza for $3.99 and the spam musubi for $2.50. Their version of chicken karaage is also good (don't have a price for that). But the poke don with salmon was $9.99 and the fish tasted kinda off that we took a few bites and dumped it. Not sure if I would try any of their sushi after that experience. Haven't bought anything from their grocery and beauty and bath sections, but so cool that they offer these products. Like that a place like Maruta Shoten exists in Seattle. Next time we're in Georgetown, we will likely try them again.

    Stopped by for the first time during their Midwinter Aloha event with other vendors and really loved it. The food selection and service was great--fresh, hot, and reasonably priced. If you're from Hawaii and familiar with Japanese markets, this will definitely feel like a go-to spot for ready-to-eat food, plus small grocery and beauty items. We tried the inari, ahi, ika, and chicken karaage, everything was very tasty and fresh. The quality really stood out. Wish we lived closer because we'd come here often. Prices felt fair for a mini-mart style establishment.

    If you're a Seattleite, you know about Maruta Shoten in Georgetown. They have the best California Rolls in Seattle and if you go during their Happy Hour at 5pm, it's 50% off. If I come during the lunch time, I also love to get a Chinese Deli Combo at their Hot Foods Bar. Make sure you pick up some Chicken Wings and Croquettes. And if you go on other side, you can do all your grocery shopping and find all your Asian ingredients. They have an extensive ramen aisle as well as sauces. The staff are so nice here and I love talking to everyone at the Hot Foods area. This is one of my favorite grocery stores and I always stop in when I'm in Georgetown.

    Checked this spot out while I was in the city. Such a cool spot!! Has lots of fresh food and hot food you can order. I just came back from Japan and this place def had some things that I saw in Japan which was nice. I tried their salmon bento box, and the cream puffs. It was yummy! I would def come back and try other things!!

    Cute Japanese store with lots of delicious deli options Friendly staff, service is always excellent Price is relatively fair and flavor is always just right

    Salmon shio yaki, hamachi sashimi and aburi salmon

    Asian quickie mart in Georgetown! Ive been frequenting Maruta Shoten for years. Its my go to stop for a quick take out lunch fix since I have an office in the area. A nice variety of ready made sushi and sashimi to choose from. They also have a take out counter for hot foods panda garden style. I will usually grab sashimi and some pre-made grilled fish for lunch. The market has some Asian staples but not is not a full on grocery store. More of a grab and go situation!

    Chinese deli

    Every time I went to Maruta, I saw people bought the Chinese deli & they got a lot of food. However when I went there recently & I bought it, they only gave me so little compared to what I've seen people were getting. So disappointed.

    Hot case: ebi fry and garlic wings

    Another Georgetown hidden gem! This Asian grocery store has a deli counter and serves bento boxes, fried food, sushi, and even Chinese deli items. They have really good prices on food and definitely more bang for the buck. For lunch, I picked up a tray of the mixed sashimi, 1/2 lb of chicken kaarage, and spicy tuna and salmon poke. The karaage was crunchy and still piping hot. The sashimi plate was also fresh and decent sized slices. The poke bowl was a good portion and had edamame, seaweed salad, onions, and tobiko. In addition to deli items, this is a full grocery with decent selection of sauces, noodles, teas, and other goods. This store reminds me of Shima's Supermarket in Waimanalo. Service was friendly and efficient. They have outdoor high tables for dining. Parking is available.

    All the favs - black cod collar, chicken karaage & spam musubi

    Whenever I'm in Georgetown, I make it a point to stop by Maruta Shoten. I enjoy their hot bar and chicken karaage by the pound. The sushi and miso cod are good options too! The garlic wings are next on my list.

    Sushi deli

    Side quest of the day: stopping by Maruta Shoten. I mainly came for their deli items, which included everything from sushi and poke to a variety of hot and cold dishes. I was craving poke and got the spicy tuna, it was only $10! It's not as saucy as what you'd find at typical poke spots, but the fish quality was really good. I also tried the sushi rolls, and they tasted freshly made as in the rice was still soft. The karaage had great flavor, though since it was sitting under the heat lamp, it lost some of its crispiness, I'd recommend tossing it in the air fryer at home. Service was great and quick! Everything seemed reasonably priced. The grocery store itself was cool and gave off that authentic Japan feel. Definitely a fun little stop if you're in the area.

    Bentos and sushi - IG @bougiefoodieboi

    This is a Japanese grocery store that is most famous for their bento boxes and sushi. They have happy hour after 5pm for 50% bento and sushi which is a crazy good deal, since the bento boxes cost no more than $10 to begin with and large enough for a meal!!! Prices shown below are regular price, so imagine 50% off - Salmon bento ($9.25) - salmon is dry but flavorful. Rice is good, and they have tamago which is nice. - Chicken karaage ($8.99) - well seasoned, not the best but satisfies my cravings adequately. The egg is hard boiled. Mac salad is okay. The potato croquette was so good. Pickles and sweet potato were okay. - California roll ($5.45) - 6 large pieces. The sushi rice is too vinegary but the imitation crab is pretty good. Dipping it with the soy sauce and ginger enhances the food. - Washington roll ($7.45) - 6 large pieces. Salmon, cream cheese, avocado, and cucumber. The rice here is better and the salmon is quite fresh. I love this roll. - Egg Fu-Young with rice ($5.25) - egg, imitation crab, flour. Relatively simple and inexpensive to make but still hits the spot. They do limit the bentos to 5 a person which is nice since the 50% off makes these items' prices too good to be true. Imagine $3-5 for a meal made beautifully with lots of variety! With this rule, there were still plenty of bentos available even at 5:15pm (revisiting the area after a 20 min line to checkout) All of the above for less than $20 after tax!! 4 filling meals. All you need to do is microwave 60-90 seconds (as they recommend if you microwave with the container directly) and you can enjoy the bento, since they're served cold. Downsides are parking can fill up quickly as people visit ahead of time in anticipation of happy hour pricing but there's another lot next to it (separate entrance from the street) that had ample parking. And also 5pm is a small window since they close at 6pm and for most including me, I had to brave rush hour traffic which is especially disgusting on Thursdays. Food is 3/5 but value is 100/10 so it's really hard to not give a 5 stars. Prices felt like I am back in a 7/11 or FamilyMart or Lawson in Japan except that I didn't need to book a flight and fly many hours to get there!

    Bento box $8.99

    Great Japanese grocery store that carries lots of Japanese goods, groceries, and prepared food. I came here specifically for the prepared food section as I heard it was big and fairly affordable. I was shocked at how much variety they had! They have rice, bowls, sushi, sashimi, bento boxes, etc. I was there around 11 AM on a Saturday and there were lots of options. I settled on a bento box that came with a few pieces of sushi, chicken karaage, mac salad, a croquette, rice, and a few other things - all for $8.99! This was a perfect bento box to eat for lunch - I was very satisfied with the portion. I did some shopping as well and thought the grocery prices were fair. I will definitely be back again!

    Albacore, salmon and tuna. 5 bucks.

    What an absolute gem this place is. Top tier quality sushi at a great price is not something you experience often. Masquerading as an unassuming grocery store this place has a wide selection of rolls, Sashimi and Bento. I was in and out quickly due to my 2 year old but next time I will be taking a full lap to get the total scope of everything offered at this swiss army Japanese market.

I wasn't a fan of the dinuguan due to my flavor preference. We did enjoy the bbq sticks. And my man loved the freshly fried chicken skins here. But on our last visit, our food had "friends" or additional protein included. And so unfortunately, we threw away everything we purchased that day. The tough part is the little critters were on our bbq sticks which were pulled out from the display area under the heat lamps. And that was very concerning for me. So sad to say due to this, we won't be going back. I hate to even leave this review but I'll always be honest about all experiences. Good or bad. Honestly we would still be going if that never happened. But now that it has, we will not be.

I'm sensitive to sound, so it made it hard for me to focus and I'm sure a couple items I was after I missed, because I couldn't stay in the area where they were stocking merch.

Only difference is that one of these aisles has freshly made food like musubi and pastries like brownies and cupcakes. There's even a dedicated kitchen near the cash register where you can order full dishes like omelettes, teriyaki combos and even sandwiches beyond the ones offered inside the fridges! The two of us were oogling at the amount of offerings on their menu and even the pastries they had out. Whether you're paying for stuff you got at the tacks or ordering food from the kitchen, you have to line up at the cash register to get them. I got the loco moco with a single patty while my coworker got their chicken patty - though I eventually had a bite of this myself. For about $14 before tax, the loco moco is extremely filling, mostly because of the rice. Everything else was really good, though. Patty is dry by itself but the gravy and caramelized onions gave it the taste it needed. I asked for my eggs scrambled which is what I got, and it also was a little bland while also having the gravy more than make up for the lack of taste. As for the chicken burger, it is one chicken patty with melted cheddar cheese all in two sesame buns. This was pretty small but makes for a good, quick lunch if needed. There's so many offerings here and I can't wait to come back for their teriyaki combos or even some of their breakfast menu options, which are served only till 10:30am every day. I'll just have to come earlier!

It needed more sauce and the rice was a bit mushy. I ordered the loco moco that had two bed parties and 2 over easy eggs on top of white rice and finished with brown gravy. The savory taste was not all there and it needed some salt and pepper on the patties. I would give it a 2.5/5. Overall, if you're looking for a quick stop, this is good for you. Will give it another try in the future.
