Being from LA I grew up with so many Japanese markets around. After moving to the Bay, there's not much around. Finally having one open in the bay was so exciting for me. Finally being able to check it out my family and I were so excited. My kids loved that they have little mini carts just for them to experience the shopping experience. It was great to stock up on all my Japanese food necessities. We also picked up snacks and hot food. Sashimi and Kobe beef for sushi the next day. Only disappointment I had was the meat we bought was said to be Wagyu and it wasn't as tender as other quality Wagyu we have bought from other stores. But overall, I love Tokyo central, it's nostalgic, and just An amazing grocery store. Very clean, organized and stocked. When I am near I will always stop by. read more

This place really makes me miss Japan. I'm happy they opened and provide 1.5 hours of parking free; which we used all of by the way! Make sure to drive up to the parking area. (Grocery parking) Lots of choices for snacks, fresh fruit, vegetables and meat. Also you can get all sorts of sauces, freezer items, candy, bread, beauty products and cooked meals! Sushi is pretty good and we enjoyed the warm up RAMEN! Friendly service Friendly service and check out was a breeze. They take Apple Pay, bring your own bags. The downfall is the prices - (pricey!!) but completely expected. Lines can be long but organized (follow the yellow arrows on the floor) I would come back again. read more

Alright based on the pictures below the to go plate with a bunch of protein, yeah it's only $20. I was mind blown by how much it was. So worth it, and it being affordable I'm definitely gonna be a regular. Was everything amazing and great? Not everything, but certain items were better than the other. Teriyaki Chicken, Salmon, potato croquette and green beans were the best ones. While the seafood veggie croquette was very oily, and karaage chicken was very dry that I would never get again. Tofu is okay. Aburi salmon is very good and for the price it's a mandatory! They have many options to choose from on the hot section and I'd recommend trying all of it to see which ones you like more. I went during the evening so maybe I'll try going right when it opens to see if there's a difference in quality. read more

Clean and organized grocery store. Tokyo Central is a chain market and I'm so glad they opened this one up near me in Emeryville. They have their own parking lot which is helpful if you're only getting groceries at the Emeryville Bay Street outdoor shopping plaza. It's still crowded, even months after their grand opening though. But lines at self-checkout (4 counters) and the staffed cashiers (4-5 counters) seem to go fast. I like their selection of thinly sliced beef cuts for hot pot/shabu shabu and their specialty items from Japan such as their snacks and skincare. They have a decent variety of food in their hot deli/prepared foods area, but this seems to sell out fast right after lunchtime. Prices are reasonable overall for most items, yet they do charge a premium for some others. read more

I am in love with this store. Everything is so cute! From the moment I walked in I wanted to buy it all. Super adorable tote bags, all the food packaging is colorful and cool. Snoopy! Hello Kitty! Dumplings! They have multiple sushi lines, pre-packaged soft serve ice cream, so much candy and cookies. And everything is beautifully packaged. I'm jealous that locals can do their regular grocery shopping here. I would go broke. read more

Tokyo Central Supermarket in Emeryville is right in the middle of Bay Street, which makes it a fun and convenient stop while out shopping in the area. While parking can get busy, the market itself is a treasure trove for fans of Japanese goods. My takeaway on their selection was an impressive lineup of rare Japanese imports and specialty items is. You can find many unique snacks, drinks, and ingredients that you will not see at standard Asian markets. I guess it's worth posting a little more. If you love exploring hard-to-find Japanese products and picking up unique treats while hanging out at Bay Street, this spot is well worth a visit. read more

This Japanese market is in the shopping center on Bay Street in Emeryville. There is a parking garage with validation, so with the movie at AMC and shipping at the market afterwards, we paid 1.50$ for parking. Not a bad deal at all. The market offers a good variety of everything. There are bento boxes, sushi and sashimi of all sizes of trays, fresh wasabi from Japan for 24.99$ a little package ( I pass ) fresh meats for shabu, saké, all kinds of drinks from Japan, some beauty products, a small section of ceramics, and of course, snacks!!! Chips, cookies, etc....quite a selection!! read more

Free 90 minutes parking! Just zap your stall number onto an app and it will let you know when your running out of time. I love this place. It has all the Japanese products under 1 giant roof! I was able to pickup Wagyu steaks, frozen udon, curry cubes, beauty products and many many deli meals! Wish they can add some self-checked kiosks for faster check-outs. read more

Cute store reminds me of being in Yokohama. However the cashiers are not as fast. But they are nice. Food from the hot bar is amazing if you catch it when it comes out. Every time I stop by for one thing I can't resist checking the hot bar and sushi selection. I always get something from there even though I swear I won't. I'm there probably twice a week. read more

I've come here a few times, and every time it's a mixed and slightly disappointing experience. The first time I came, it was about two weeks after it opened, on a weekend and that was disastrous (the store was half empty, the prepared foods were barely there or completely picked over and there were hoards of people). I've come back since and the availability of prepared food is just completely inconsistent, mostly related to the sushi/rolls area. I've come between 9-10am on a weekend, when there is maybe one type of roll, hand rolls and inari pockets. I've also come at that time, and there's nigiri and poke out - so it's simply inconsistent! I decided to come on a weekday this week, and came around 11:30am, thinking that would be close to lunch time and everything would be full, and sadly it really wasn't (there was one kind of roll out, some poke - so yay for that). I will say that the things I have tried are really good! Their fish tastes great, and on this last trip, I found premade handrolls that were really delicious! But my issue is that you never actually know what will actually be available and out, so it gets to be frustrating. read more

Tokyo Central - What it looks like at 11:30 on a weekday - International Grocery Near Me - Emeryville, California

This is like a Japanese version of Whole Foods. The market is neat and organized. There's produce, noodles, snacks, seafoods, bakery, and lots of prepared food items. We found lots of unique and hard-to-find Japanese items. We found Ichiran Ramen, which we had in Japan, but couldn't find in the US. They also have a large variety of hot foods, baked goods, lots of sushi and poke. We picked out several food items and ate them outside in the courtyard. We were impressed with the food. + Poke - this was solid. It includes rice, ginger, wakame, and a little scoop of imitation crab in mayo. + Chicken Karage (both plain and umami) - tender and juicy + California rolls - good + Japchae - good In comparison to other large Asian marketplaces, Tokyo Central has a lot more hot food items than Osaka Market in Fremont. However, it's not as massive as Jagalchi in Daly City. It's a great place to find those specialty Japanese items and pick up food for lunch or dinner. Oh, and there's 90-min free parking above the store ($3/hr over 90 mins). read more

Tokyo Central has landed in Emeryville among one of the nicest and newest shopping plazas in town. Located on Bay Street, Tokyo Central has dedicated grocery parking on the second floor parking garage with a QR code for payment. This Tokyo Central located in incredibly spacious with wide aisles full of Japanese products from produce, snacks, gachapons, blind boxes, and so much more. The hot food and packaged food is located in the back left side of the store close to the restroom. The restrooms include 4 unisex stalls with one baby changing station. Outside of the grocery store, there are a few small tables with umbrellas for you to enjoy your food. It would be nice if there were more dedicated covered seating options especially for larger parties. As far as the prepared food goes, there is an amazing selection of sandwiches, rice bento boxes, nigiri, and various Japanese desserts including matcha churro, sweet potatoes, tiramisu, and pudding. * Anderson bakery pudding - 3/5 Super thick and heavy pudding. It lacked the light eggy flavor traditional Japanese pudding is known for. The syrup was also too bitter for my taste. * Anderson bakery egg/tuna/ham sandwich - 4/5 A great option if you're looking for a light lunch or snack. The egg and tuna mix are very creamy and delicate. Very refreshing for a hot day. The bread was soft but didn't get soggy even though it was prepackaged. * Assorted nigiri - the scallop was the clear standout here. Pretty delicious for grocery store sushi. The self checkout lines are significantly shorter, perhaps because most people buy more than 10 items when they shop here. But for me, I tried to practice self restraint and not get too crazy since I live an hour away. As far as service goes, theres limited interaction with the staff. Although I did have an encounter when I waited in line for the restroom. 2 of the restrooms were out of order so I waited a long time in line. One of the grocery workers came out of the "employee only" doors, saw that 2 restrooms were out of order, and tried to cut the line right in front of me. They should either make a dedicated employee restroom or train their workers to do the respectful thing and wait their turn in line just like the rest of us. I would definitely visit if I'm in the area. The hot food selection looks delicious (especially the takoyaki!) read more

44,000 square feet of japanese grocery and it lives up to the footprint. Produce section is huge, wagyu selection is serious, and the snack aisle alone could keep you busy for an hour. The prepared food section is the real move though. Onigiri with freshly milled rice, karaage, katsu sandos, hot bar. Grabbed a couple things and ate standing up like a local. The Waka Sakura Hand Roll Factory next door is worth a separate visit, fresh wasabi grated to order is not something you forget. Parking is validated on the 2nd floor, come on a weekday if you can. 4 stars, finally a Japanese grocery store that belongs in Emeryville read more

Tokyo Central - Frontage - International Grocery Near Me - Emeryville, California

Tokyo Central is the best Japanese grocery store I've visited yet, and I've been to quite a few. It had the best selection, the most organized layout, and was by far the neatest and easiest to shop. I found everything I came for, from pantry staples to specialty items that can be hard to track down elsewhere. The store doesn't offer Wi-Fi, so I had to ask employees about a few products, but everyone was friendly and helpful. Thankfully, the price tags include English descriptions, which made shopping much easier. If you're looking for authentic Japanese groceries, snacks, kitchen items, or specialty ingredients, this is a fantastic store. I'll definitely be back. read more

Man, I keep going back here because their hot foods selection and easy pickup on quick sashimi! It is extremely affordable and delicious. Easy to get to if you're making a quick pitstop!

We went shopping around the plaza and decided to stop by Tokyo Central for a quick snack. It was big and clean inside. They had quite a variety of items. We got the A5 wagyu musubi and a few rolls. Everything was super fresh and the price was great for the amount of food you get. The star of the show was the A5 wagyu musubi. It was so flavorful and juicy! I would come back to check out other items here whenever I'm around the area. They also have their own parking garage! read more

First visit on 6/9/26, wooooaaah this supermarket is insane!! They have a great selection of everything you can think of-- makeup, skincare, snacks, groceries, produce, blindboxes!!!! Being inside felt like being Charlie in a chocolate factory... *_* My favorite section would be the hot and cold foods -- especially the onigiris, they're delicious and fresh at the time we got them as they have a sign indicating when they're made and placed out every couple hours. I've only tried two, but my favorite by far is the Spicy Tuna Mayo onigiri.. I loved the simplicity of the meal and just eating it in their outdoor seating made for a perfect hangout with friends. We were checked out quickly and the cashier was kind and efficient, and they have little claw and gacha machines near the entrances/exits! Very fun experience, that on the same day- my friend and I kept coming back to get more snacks. read more

Separate parking lot from rest of Bay Street. You get first 2 hours free. You park in top of the grocery store. If you are just grabbing a quick lunch item, they have parking directly in front of tha store, but I noted they were filled even with short time limit. There were 2 handicap spots right in front of the store. So fun shopping in here with the vast assortment of Asian foods. I see the card Asian inspired Emily Chen cards too that are unique. Grabbed a few items for lunch and sat outside in mall are to eat. read more

It was fun to visit Tokyo Central. Parking was available on the top level above the grocery store. Free parking for 90 minutes. We felt we had enough time to walk around, explore, and make our purchases. The store was clean and well stocked, and it was nice to see wide aisles. There were also a lot of cute gifts to buy including a rack of adorable fabric grocery bags, cute facial and body care items, a few mini gashapon machines, household serve ware and utensils. A few highlights for me includes a small table with freshly made mochi for purchase, cute character themed snacks, a good variety of imported ice cream, an aisle of Hawaiian items including Hurricane popcorn and chocolate mochi, tea, syrups, and jams. Staff were friendly and helpful. We visited after 8pm, so refrigerated food items were discounted, but the hot trays and a few other food counters were empty. We bought a a few items but mostly enjoyed walking around to see all that was in the store. Would love to stop by again sometime earlier in the day when they have hot food. read more

Stopped here on the way up to Trinity Lake to grab some snacks and camping supplies. They had a good selection of ready-to-eat items like spam musubi, onigiri, drinks, and other odds and ends that were convenient for a road trip. A couple of things to note: there's a $3 parking fee, which was surprising to me since that's not a thing where I'm from. Inside, my son wanted to play the claw machines, but each play was $1 per token, which felt a bit pricey for what it was. The store itself reminded me a lot of your typical Asian grocery like Ranch 99 or Seafood City -- familiar layout and products if you've been to one of those. Overall it was a fine stop for quick items, but the parking charge took a bit from the experience read more

Finally checked out this spot after hearing so much hype about it when it first opened. Came on a Sunday around 1pm and it was busy but not insanely crowded (but I noticed that around 2-3 it got much busier). The ready to eat food selection is vast and they have so many fun options! I wish they had more sando and dessert options, as well as some sort of cake bakery area as I didn't see that. The frozen dessert selection is pretty big though! I tried the aburi salmon and a handroll set and they were decent -- nothing I'd necessarily come back for but satisfied my hunger and were tasty. I would come back to try the hot food though! I walked by and it smelled so good. It's nice that they provide chopsticks and utensils near the checkout area, as well as a microwave near the exit. Also tried the strawberry cream sando, which was exactly what you'd expect, but hit the spot since I've been craving it for a while! It was super nice that parking was free on the rooftop too for grocery store customers! read more

Wifey wanted to shop here when she watched a YouTube of some guy vlogging during their "Grand Opening" day. We waited a week before coming here, and there was still a line to get in. Although the line went swiftly, the place was hella crowded once we got inside. Once inside the store, I immediately grabbed some bottles Ito En brand green tea, which were on sale at that time. Navigating the store has a somewhat similar layout to H-Mart on Alemany. While H-Mart is bigger, Tokyo Central is more compact but spaced out more strategically due to the constraint of space. The Produce section is by the entrance and shortly after that are the meats and seafood. And yes they have Wagyu imported from Japan. Expect to pay premium price for these hunks of meat. Hey, you gotta do what you Wagyu do. They even have a "Hawaiian" section with items straight from the islands, which includes Zippy's. I won't have to bug my cousins anymore to send me some of these. But my favorite section would have to be the Sashimi and Poke section. Although they were mostly out of Poke and had a limited amount of Sashimi selection on our first visit, I managed to grab a bunch of them on my follow-up shopping another week later. They are also reasonably priced and pretty decent quality. Aside from that, there's also a good amount of variety to choose from. But if you want some higher quality sashimi, they have these too. They even have party platters decorated with pretty flowers. I hope they're edible...they better be. And like the usual Asian store, they have a wide variety of imported items from Japan and other Asian delicacies and brands. They pretty much have everything that is essential to a typical Asian-American household, especially here in the Bay Area with a large Asian population. Heck, even non Asians shop here since they've become accustomed to eating our favorites and I ain't side-eying them for shopping here. While their previous generations grew up eating sweets with flavors like vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and Oreo cookie, it's not unusual to see that Matcha and Ube are becoming more mainstream and Americanized. But that is for another conversation to be discussed further. They have parking on the roof and depending on the time of day, you can get it validated. Overall, another Asian Supermarket that offers good to great value, especially when they're on sale. Tokyo Central...Hajime mashite! read more

Not a fan of crowds and have avoided since grand opening. The wait has finally come to an end. On a Thursday PM rush hour, a quick stop made plenty of sense. To my surprise, ample parking on the 2nd floor with just a few customers roaming the aisles. The selection in produce, meats, sashimi, bento, and liquor was a handful. Could not refuse grabbing a bit of everything. Could easily be my weekly source to groceries. Given the time, the hot bar was being cleaned and unavailable. Looking forward on another a visit to give it a try. Have been a frequent customer of Marukai and Don Quijote for years. Tokyo Central being a spinoff, it's not far from its siblings. Highly appreciate the newly opened location. Hoping for new additions in the Bay Area. read more

Showed up because just wanted to browse. They have a great selection of meat and seafood. They offer samples ( I need to pick up a bottle of sake in the future) . We bought onigiris, spam musubis and coffee. All were amazing! Staff is cool, other groceries are unique. I loved the ramen selection even though we didn't buy any I know this will be a spot to come to. My wife loved the Hawaii products, got some hurricane popcorn. 5/5 outstanding place ! read more

Tokyo central is coo like they have a wide selections of meats and Japanese treats. It's clean and organized in there, there parking on top, not stressful. If you wanna splurge on some Wagyu, I saw some marbled MFs but there were other seasoned meats. I was most interested in the to-go food, particularly the egg salad sandwiches because I ate those everyday in Japan and brought 3 back with my to eat on the flight home (sorry to the ppl on that flight, I know it stank.) Their sushi and nigiri selection was pretty solid so we grabbed some and it was fresh. The egg salad sandwiches were NOT like the ones in Japan unfortunately. And they were like $7. I think it's just a quality of ingredients thing, I think in Japan they just have better quality bread and eggs. All in all, I thought it was fun to look around and grab snacks. I live in Alameda so I don't think I'll go there regularly unless there was a particular specialty item I was looking for. read more

Tokyo Central - We grabbed egg salad sandwiches and nigiri. The nigiri was good but the egg salad sandwiches are meh and kinda expensive. - International Grocery Near Me - Emeryville, California

We were there last month when is was still new and lots lots of people were in the store in the evening. Shelves were emptied out and freshly made ready to go hot foods were sold out. We walked from top to bottom in each aisle and only found few items like the sake and beefs were still available. It would have been more enjoyable if we go on another time when the crowds dissipate a bit. Overall, definitely a place for fresh Japanese bites read more

April 4,2026 was finally able to shop here. It was so crowded people were bumping into us! Then there were the sweetest people that I chatted with. A wonderful variety of everything. I mean meats,I creams different fruits and hot food selection. The bathroom extremely clean and smelled like roses! My daughter spent 1 1/2 hours in there. Or do it seemed. I'm a caregiver and my client was ready to head to the outside activities. While waiting on my daughter we went to Barnes n nobles and read. I recommend Tokyo Market a 10/10.

Bumping my review up to 5 stars purely because Tokyo Central is putting in efforts to reduce food waste! After 7pm their pre-made food goes on sale for 20% off. There's a clearance produce rack and I've also noticed some of their meats being marked reduced by 20% because they are close to their sell by date. This really shows me that they care about food being utilized and they're not one to just toss things as soon as it doesn't look 'perfect'. Grand opening was a few months ago now but they have managed to keep up with having a squeaky clean store as well! read more

3.5 stars It's nice to have a Japanese grocery store on this side of the bay more north east. However, It's much more expensive than Osaka market. It's bigger but doesn't mean it's more quality items. I feel they just have a lot more things here and may not be great selections of some items. It feels busy in the store and a bit overwhelming since there's soo many choices. They do have a hot food station and salad bar similar set up to Whole Foods. However, many items were empty when I was there around 1pm. I keep comparing to Osaka and what I typically buy there and it's at least several dollar differences on fish cakes. Fish balls. Etc. Good for those who can't go to more local smaller Japanese groceries and this is nearby. Good for those who haven't experience other shops like this. Just know you're paying more than most places. read more

Yes, Yelp fam, I finally tried a second attempt at Tokyo Central in Emeryville. The first attempt was during opening weekend and of course as you probably read, the hype was real. So..we decided to give it some time and come back again when the soft opening/opening weeks were behind us. Unfortunately our trip on an early weekday evening left us feeling that third time may be a charm? We had heard so many awesome things about their hot food section/to-go and ready-made meals. Unfortunately our trip just really missed the mark. All the hot, ready-to-serve foods were basically out and not replenished, nor with the intent that they would be anytime soon. Most of the sushi was picked through, and other items too. We did grab a few fun items like a matcha churro, frozen ramen to try at a future time, corn soup chips, a dessert bun, potstickers, and Tonkatsu. The matcha churro, the kiddo had no notes! My husband mentioned the meat and fish section he would come back for. Maybe the next visit we try during opening or early afternoon before patrons truly arrive! All in all, I think it's amazing to have a Japanese market in the East Bay. They built additional parking at Bay Street on top of the market, and the area seems to continue to be thriving and growing. Maybe just plan the trip wisely? There are outdoor tables/chairs at Bay Street if you want to sit and have your items in-person and enjoy the beautiful weather. By the exit there is also a microwave and other appliances, if you want to heat anything up. For how busy the market is, cashier service was pretty quick, friendly, and turn-key. read more

Frozen, fresh, snacks...they have it all. Produce, meats, fish in an array of styles, frozen, chips, candy, drinks, beauty, health...anything and everything you can think of exists here. First visit, upon walking in, I was overwhelmed. With no clue where to begin (and a shopping basket on arm) I wandered each side of each aisle for over an hour. It was cool seeing foods I could prepare at home in place of buying out, nostalgic treats along with new ones, character focused products, flavors I love in new and familiar ways, etc. it was a lot. The prices are high on some and affordable on others. The service is inconsistent, first visit I got blah, second friendly and talkative with the bagger looking like she stepped in fresh poo. Either way, I came for the product, got what I needed. There is parking directly in front of the store if you enter by West Elm otherwise there is parking surround Bay Street with the closest being by H&M. read more

This place has a small designated parking on the roof of the market. I only went there on the weekdays so parking was not too bad. They offered a lot of sashimi and different style of cooked food for your convenience. Their sashimi is fresh! Definitely need to grab if you like sashimi. We also like the garlic beef rice for $10.99. There are many Japanese snack, skincare products and drinks available in the store. We also bought some ramen to try. However, this place is too popular so many times they sold out stuff on the shelves. Also some of the items are pricy! read more

Came here twice - what a whirlwind of bright lights, eye catching labels, and awesome Japanese products! Recommend coming within a few hours of it opening if you don't want to wait in a line. It's like a huge Whole Foods with everything Japanese- wagyu, ramen, sauces, snacks, prepared food- sushi/sashimi, freshly made bento boxes, hot buffet with items like chicken teriyaki, tempura, garlic miso udon, takoyaki, onigiri, strawberries and cream sandos, etc. They even had one of my fave ramens from Japan - Ichiran - but for $29 for 1 serving!

Great supermarket that has an expansive hot/cold food bar and of course, Japanese strawberries. My daughter loves the white ones and knows the difference between those vs the American or Korean varieties (both red and white/pink). 1 star off for parking and the rice for the bentos. The parking lot for the supermarket itself has limited spaces so you might have to park in the other lots (paid?). Not bad if you have EV. As for the rice in the bentos, it was inedible - super hard and dehydrated despite being warmed up. read more

It's pretty good, I guess. There is a lot of selection, which is nice, and the sushi is good quality. That said, it is not exactly cheap. I do not think it is worth waiting in line just to go to a grocery store. I would not come back just for this place specifically. There are many other spots where you can get good Japanese groceries and sushi for comparable prices without the hassle. Overall, decent, but not destination worthy. read more
