I cannot believe they have new flavors of Kit Kat chocolate like the orange, raspberry, milk tea, and matcha! I got them all! I love the matcha the most! The orange is kind of bitter to my liking but still pretty unique to try it out! Today I saw they got a new type of Ito En Oi Ocha lemon green tea for sale! There was only one bottle left in the fridge and I got it to try it out! It said 0 grams of added sugar and when I tried it, the green tea was not even sweet at all. It did not really taste like your average lemon tea like Brisk Iced tea. The lemon was so subtle that you could barely even taste any lemon. I mostly tasted the green tea instead. It had a weird taste in my opinion. I thought I tried it out but I don't think I would be getting this in the future. I will just stick to the green tea, jasmine tea, oolong tea, and cold brew matcha tea from Ito En! The best thing about Teso Mini is that it sells the Ito En green tea bottles for $1.99 each! Other places cost more than that so I'm very thankful Teso Mini has Ito En at a cheaper price! read more

Smaller store in Chinatown but I like the selection. Staff was welcoming and friendly around the store and cashier area. There are 3 aisles of snacks, skincare, and drinks. The prices are in line with other Asian markets I have been to. First time seeing the roasted seaweed shrimp chips, so decided to try it. Like the taste and would purchase again. Recommend for snacks in a grab to go style. read more

Love that they have these little Teso locations around the city! This one has been here for a several years and is very similar in format to the convenience stores in East Asia (which are the bomb you could survive on their products--though I will save this for a diff review). The main difference compared to Asia is this mini mart doesn't carry much fresh prepared food, but they do carry basically everything else. You can pick up Asian drinks and packaged snacks, frozen food, a smallish variety of chilled drinks and ready-to-eat desserts, toiletries, makeup and beauty, shower and bath products, over-the-counter meds, ramen, cooking condiments and utensils, basic kitchen and home items. Super convenient if you live in the area. Came by today to pick up a 3-pack of coffee jello $3.75--this is basically sweetened coffee jello in a cup that comes with a little single serving creamer that you can pour over it. There's almost always a short line to check out, though it usually moves pretty quickly. Open from 11am to 8:30 or 9pm daily depending on the day. read more

The products are neatly organized and they have a good stock of Japanese snacks and other Asian snacks, too. The store can get very crowded because it's small and the aisles are small. They have a dedicated skincare/beauty aisle which is also very well stocked. read more

It's very hard to shop at this store because of mini........ when other customers stopped and started to look at some items, you can't go though and can't see the same sections because of it's too small here. If you have lots of shopping bags, avoid. I'd try another time............ lines are also pretty long and they're standing Infront of the items......... :( I wouldn't go there unless you're visiting from outside NYC. read more

A cute little shop that I saw while walking around the city so I decided to pop in. It's very cleaned and organized on the inside and they had a huge selection of Japanese goods. From warm foods, grab and gos, frozen goods, chips, household items, candies, and cute little trinkets. Such a great variety to browse through! In the front of the store I saw they had those Japanese fruit sandwiches I have been dying to try so I got the mixed fruit one. It was very good! I believe the bread is a milk bread so it was very fluffy and soft, despite being refrigerated and exposed to the cream, it was not even soggy. The fruit was sweet and the cream complemented it perfectly. I would recommend giving this a try! And it was around 4 dollars so a pretty good deal! The service was quick and efficient too, I was in and out in around 10 minutes total (counting my browsing) read more

I regretfully didn't get any photos cus this place was pretty packed (think 10 people in a pretty small space), but I will definitely check this place out again when I go back to Chinatown. Visited here with a friend who enjoys Chinese culture and snacks, as does her Chinese boyfriend. Would have never thought to go in otherwise. Very cool variety of Chinese and Asian snacks, like Doritos in BBQ flavor as well as other really interesting and delicious looking flavored potato chips. Fizzy, fruity flavored sodas. Quirky candies. Cookies, crackers. Fun Asian characters that take you out of the ordinary, boring palm-colored world. Other cool items like scented lotions, chapsticks, toiletries. Looking forward to checking it out again! There is a large store further uptown. read more

My children want to stop in here and get a whole lot of snacks along with other items they sold in this store. I happened to see this Lychee soda I once had from this Hybiachi restaurant I visited. My kids knew what they wanted and for the life of me I couldn't tell you what they were. I do know that my middle one brought the most. She had mochi candy, soda, and ramen noodles of some other kind I have not seen. I wanted to buy a pack of chop sticks but forgot we have a whole pack at home because my children love to eat a lot of Asian cuisine. I think this store was pretty cool for what it was . Next time I will bring an ice box so we can take some of the frozen treats home. Thumbs up and Happy Yelping! read more

This is small compared to the other Teso that I saw in pictures though there are so many cute items and various flavors. Small table figurines that feature Tigers to Harry Potter, various KitKat flavors, different small size Lays flavors that you don't typically see in a supermarket. It's difficult to walk out of the store without buying anything. It wasn't too crowded the evening I went through I heard from my friend that it can get packed in here. I have to check out the store again when I have more time. If you want unique cute items come here and take a look. read more

Passed by Teso Mini and decided to check it out. Very cute and crowded. Get all of your favorite Japanese snacks and ramen. I went looking for my favorite pudding (not there but had the 3-pack pudding next to the coffee jelly). Very popular and everyone seem to enjoy the shop. I saw this cute coffee drink with one of my favorite anime One Piece on it. read more

Cool selection of items at reasonable prices. I've gotten quality skincare items (for less than comparable items would sell at other places), kids snacks, and a ceramic serving bowl (for $4). Whenever I'm in this area I like to stop in. read more

Great place to get all things Japanese related! Without the airfare lol Snacks, ramen, drinks, household goods, even some beauty products. It's a very small shop but the layout was done in a way where it's VERY easy to walk around and shop, and see everything. Appreciate that is very organized and tidy, and the air condition is on strong lol they also play good music - yeah it's a fun place to shop and I would go back Service was good, the guys were friendly, welcomed us in, and then saw I was carrying to many bags of chips and offered me a basket haha. They were also stocking product so it's good that shelves were full. Check out was easy and pleasant. They have teso reusable bags for a small additional cost. Overall great experience read more

Great selection of quality products at reasonable prices. It's a must stop when we visit NYC. Because we don't live in the area we stock up on toiletries, candy and other items to last until we return. read more

Love this little shop that sells Japanese imported versions of common chip brands like Lays. Highly recommend the sour cream and onion chips. It tastes different - crispier and just better than the American version. It can get crowded with all the people buying snacks and mochi ice cream. There's other non food stuff like makeup and pens but wouldn't know about that. read more

BEST SELECTION OF ASIAN SNACKS I'VE SEEN IN CHINATOWN NYC!!! Very clean and bright store, stocked with all the yummy snacks you could ask for. They also have a good selection of Asian skincare!! read more

Do not buy any of the refrigerated items here. I bought a mochi and it was completely inedible and when I try to returned the owner refused and he said it was frozen and just need to defrost it. It looked frozen and slightly moldy. read more
