Pros: - staff are friendly and nice - onigiri are made to go but there are premade ones, I think their onigiri are so delicious - haven't had much of their food but I like the kitsune udon - there's a decent amount of seating upstairs, kinda feels like an empty cafe depending on when you go Cons: Comments: - went on a Sunday at around 5PM, it wasn't busy, seating was about half full but people were on their way out
I love this place! I love the low key casual vibes and beautiful seating space on the second floor. I try to stop by every time I am in the area. Very reasonable prices for freshly made food. The sashimi was tasty, and it was a solid Katsudon! In fact I often stop by and take the katsudon home to go. This place is a gem.
Fire, authentic Japanese mart with prepared foods Would not get matcha here even though their variety is pretty expansive bc it is expensive but everything else is good especially snacks
Sunrise Mart has a great selection of Japanese snacks, pantry staples, drinks, and quick bites--super convenient if you're in the area and craving something Asian without hitting a full restaurant. I grabbed the katsu Japanese curry, and it hit the spot--savory, comforting, and satisfying for a ready-made meal. Prices are fair in the Manhattan area, and the store is well-organized despite being a bit compact. Definitely worth stopping by if you're looking to stock up on Asian essentials or grab a quick bite on the go!
It's been a while since I last wrote a review and I've been back many times--given a few other smaller Japanese groceries in Manhattan have shuttered during or after covid, (including Sunrise Mart's East Village location) I'm appreciative of this location's existence and their selection of affordable groceries and prepared food for eat-in or take out. The right entrance is for the prepped foods section--they have a selection of made-to-order items like ramen and udon noodles soups, bento boxes with a variety of proteins, side dishes, poke, sushi and savory snacks. Chilled sides and drinks, and a small bakery counter round out the food options. Towards the back there are stairs on the left hand side that lead up to a small upper seating area. The left entrance is to the grocery section of the store, they carry everything you need to make and enjoy a Japanese meal, from fresh produce, seafood and meats, refrigerated ingredients, sides, desserts, dried and canned foods, snacks, seasonings and condiments, some beauty and and household items too.
We got two custom bento for take out. Delicious content and very large portions. One had stewed beef, breaded salmon plus lots of vegetables. The other one had grilled eels, breaded white fish and stuffed tofu.
Great tasty authentic affordable Japanese food option in midtown, truly a contradiction in many sense. Been here many times. They have prepared box foods, onigiri (triangles of nori covered stuffed rice/japanese kimbop), dons, curry, pasta, tempura, sushi/sashimi, ramen udon oden for prices far below what other restaurants charge. It's a functional pickup and go place not high end dining. When eating in, would recommend katsu curry rice, ramen udon dons and pasta. Upstairs seating area, has bathroom and microwave to heat up your food. On pleasant days, take you Japanese food and go on Bryant park to dine al fresco. Highly recommend for locals and visitors.
A small market to the side, and then a food space where you get udon, soba, rice balls, sushi, etc. Prices are ok; the soba was salty, and the karaage was cold (need to warm up in the microwave, but then not as good as fresh / hot crunch). Seating upstairs and a few downstairs. Pay for food first, then pick up from the grill/ordering area.
I work in the area and a coworker recommended this spot to me. They told me the onigiri was good. I got 2 onigiris one was spicy salmon and the other was spicy tuna. I came in the morning time around 10am. It was pretty chill I was the only person dining in at that time. I was able to read my book in peace. These onigiri were pretty good. They were hot and fresh when I grabbed them. The shape was perfect. These may be some of the best onigiri I've had in New York so far. I usually get mines in soho but those spots don't compare. You could taste the freshness of the salmon and tuna. I was able to get a good blend of fish with rice in each bite. Also, I could taste the spices. I enjoyed it and would definitely come back.
It was my first time at this market and they had a very nice selection of produce, drinks, snacks and japanese ingredients, so its a perfect place to go to if you need something specific. They also had this little food court that was suuper good! Their mentaiko onigiri was my favorite.
i got the spicy tuna onigiri & okaka onigiri, but they had so many others i wanted to try! i wish the okaka came with more bonito flakes, but it was yummy! the spicy tuna tasted a lot different (in a good way) compared to other spicy tuna onigiris i've had! it was almost like cooked tuna? or canned? but very fresh & they make it right in front of u -- served warm !! so delicious they have PLENTY of other fresh japanese dishes to choose from that looked amazing -- from curry to donburi to katsu to handrolls. they have a bathroom that u can use after purchasing something (code on receipt), which is located in their relatively small upstairs seating area. i will be back 100% to try some curry, donburi, & more onigir! the service was also wonderful, staff was super kind.
This place comprises of, an Asian supermarket and hot & cold food items neighboring each other. People get confused as I did when I first went into both marts to discover two different places with the same name that's not connected by an interior hallway, but you need to go outside to get to the other side. Anyway, I wanted to get a hot food item and not something already prepared in the fridge section. I ordered the chicken udon at the register, which confused me at first as I didn't know one had to do that until I saw signs. The chicken isn't fried, which is great, and they give you a lot for a small bowl. There are so many types of bowls you can order. If you want to eat at the mart, there's indoor and outdoor seating. They don't give you free tap water, but instead, there's an abundance of utensils & napkins one can grab. Also, a microwave to use for your room temperature or cold items.
Why have I not come here earlier?! It's a great spot for a quick lunch. There's some seating inside but it's really a grab and go spot. They have a ton of different Japanese foods, all at great prices! You can order off their menu which has udon, curry, and more. But they're also constantly pumping out bento boxes and bringing out hot foods. The prices are really reasonable for Japanese food in the city and it's delicious. I came to grab a bento box during lunch and was overwhelmed by the amount of different items to choose from. There was a line but it moved quick and the staff is also nice! They also have a ton of different onigiri, lots of different flavors/fillings to choose from. Those are delicious and a great snack! I'd definitely be coming back, really fulfills my Japanese food cravings. Their bento boxes have a variety of different things in it too which is good for someone like me who loves to have a little of everything. They also have lots of different proteins and some bowls with a mix of stuff.
Went in for lunch and saw a bunch of enticing offerings in the "noodles in soup/sauce" category plus some dons (I.e.; katsudon). Picked the Mentaiko cream with udon noodles and it was almost perfect. The cod roe cream sauce was spiced through w/ heat and the udon noodles were thick and chewy. It was almost perfect except I would've liked more noodles, or some Italian bread to sponge up the remaining sauce. Service is perfunctory: order at the cashier and wait for the cook to call your number to collect your food. The upstairs dining room is clean and the tables are well spaced so you can enjoy your meal. This place is well located near the NYPL main branch and Bryant Park. read more

Solid Japanese market for lunch or snacks for a picnic at Bryant Park. Fresh dishes like udon, katsu, rice plates, etc. are available. Microwavable meals are also perfect since they have a microwave for customers to use! Also, plenty of yummy, stuffed onigiri and snacks. Lunch rush does get pretty packed because of all the office buildings nearby though, so plan to wait in line for 15-20 minutes! read more
What a lovely surpise! It is inconspicuously tucked away in midtown this market packs alot of product in a small space for Manhattan. You can find everything you need from ready made food, bentos, snacks, ice cream, produce, imported goods, bascially everything. It is tight to manuver between the isles, but it adds to the charm of how each inch offers something different. And if you hop over to the other side of the market you will find a very spacious food hall with additional seating upstairs. Hot soba, curry katsu, desserts and specialty drinks await, or grab a quick onigiri for your city adventures. I'm so excited this staple is here to provide so many good anytime you want. Hurrah! read more

The cafe side of this sunrise mart is officially my favorite casual Japanese spot in the city! In particular, their generously sized and freshly made onigiri are the reason I keep coming back. While it may be easier to grab one off the counter or from the refrigerated case, I urge you to wait just a little while longer for them to make a fresh one for you. My favorite is the spicy tuna mayo. The seasoned rice and creamy delicious tuna are perfectly combined inside, and really make for such a delicious and filling lunch. While their fried chicken karaage onigiri with sweet and tart sauce is also tasty, I've found that they simply don't put enough chicken in it. The salted plum onigiri is also a classic, but I really prefer the spicy tuna one. Sunrise mart also makes delicious hand sushi rolls. The California roll had cucumber, fresh crab, ripe avocado, and a crisp burst of lettuce which I thought was a nice touch. I would definitely like to try one of their other hand rolls next time I return! I've also had their seaweed salad, which was very solid and well seasoned. They've got a lot of hot lunch and dinner options, including rice bowls, curries, udon and soba, and some odd looking Japanese "pasta dishes" that appear to use spaghetti. The grocery side carries all sorts of imported Japanese ingredients and snacks. They don't appear to have a very extensive produce section, but what they do have is very fresh and well maintained (ie: no slimy scallions or worm eaten napa cabbage!). I've bought Japanese soup bases and specialty ramen noodles here, at a bit of a steep price but this is to be expected at a Japanese grocery store. Overall, I could take or leave the actual market, but the cafe at sunrise mart is truly a gem to be found in midtown east. It's especially nice to come here after a morning of work at the library for a delicious warm onigiri! read more
Great still as a market. I stop in almost everyday looking for good pieces of fish. Their cooked food is what I'm tagging them for today. I don't exactly expect sliced filet mignon when I ordered a beef udon but I also don't expect to get mostly inedible fat and connective tissue. Service is quick, and there are a limited number of tables up top that do the job if you want to sit and eat. But they failed on the food so the seating doesn't matter. read more

Located on the block across the NY Public Library steps, so walking from there one day, I noticed this place on the way to another Onigiri place. Noted the grocery is separate from the eatery. I saw a ready-made bonito riceball so I ordered one. I got it still warm bec. was freshly-made. $2.99 only. Another day, my family decided to check what else they offered. We got Katsu curries (good serving, option of brown/white rice, precooked proteins) and ramen (with thick charsiu pork, just ok). Got "Extra" orders by piece/portion also and more riceballs (put them together to make a meal). This place is no frills, quick eats at ok prices. Downstairs is mostly for food prep, with a few seats but there are more tables on 2nd fl. There is a restroom that could be cleaner. read more

When you're in New York and want to save some money on breakfast, marts like these are such a great option. You get so much food for a great price, and it's on the healthier side! The downstairs area has different options from bowls to poke, to sushi, and others. You then can go upstairs and there is a seating area to eat! read more

I love the cafe (and so does everyone else, as evidenced by the lunchtime buzz)--super fresh and delicious food and many tasty healthy options. I got the spicy salmon roll and a shrimp tempura onigiri--which is made fresh to order! Both were really good, but I was especially happy with the onigiri. The tempura was fresh and had good texture, and the rice had nicely distinct rice grains and was well seasoned. The sweet savory brown sauce was delicious too! Very filling lunch that hit the spot. The grocery store is also great--prices are probably so-so, but some of them are lower than Hmart! I like getting udon, dumplings, and snacks here. :) read more
I've been coming here for lunch in the last couple of weeks. Good fresh lunch options on their non grocery side of the shop. There's been lines during the times I've been there but it does move pretty quickly. So far my fave is the chicken katsu followed by the chicken teriyaki. Will add this as one of my go to places when I am in the area. read more

Sunrise has been a part of our lives ever since we moved here 15 years ago. It has grown from a tiny Japanese grocery store to include a dedicated kitchen and dining space for quick Japanese meals. I love to grab lunchboxes or order freshly made food and walk to Bryant Park to dine outdoors. During the summer, Bryant Park often has live music, making it the perfect spot for a quick, reasonably priced lunch in the area. read more
Went here to pick up lunch with coworkers. It's a bit hectic during lunch time. Wasn't aware that you need to order your food at the register first then pick it up unless you're grabbing the already made bento boxes. There's plenty of options though, ranging from sushi, udon, ramen, bento boxes, etc. I think it's also fairly priced for lunch. Enjoyed what I picked up for lunch but wasn't the biggest fan of their onigiri, esp the karaage one. Would like to try their udon next time. read more

I've gone three times since I started working in the area! The food is great! My new regular order is the pork ginger don - super tasty! My only, I guess, complaint is that they called orders after mine. I was standing there for awhile with the people behind me collecting their lunches and nothing was said to me. I assumed mine was taking longer to make but I wished that I was told that. Just a suggestion for the future! But I will definitely be returning! read more
