    A must come here for grocery as well as some gift shopping if you are visiting from other place! My friends from Japan enjoyed shopping here and got so many! Love it!

    Trader Joe's is always a good spot for groceries and to get items that you don't normally see. I decided to try something new and something that I actually saw advertised on their IG page. It was the tomato feta soup and organic naan crackers. Wow, pleasantly surprised with how good the tomato feta soup taste that I would actually get it every time I go there. It went well with the crackers too. It's nice to eat this when I just need a simple snack to hold me over when the day gets too busy.

    This review is to give recognition to EG. Earlier today I called this location in search of a limited item "cold pressed juice" watermelon. To keep things short, my uncle is going through his second round of radiation in Sacramento, and this specific drink is really helping him due to it having zero fiber. My mom also has cancer and will be starting radiation in two weeks. I explained this to EG, and he was so kind when we spoke on the phone. He checked the inventory and said they had some. I asked if it was possible to put some on hold and he didn't even hesitate to say yes. I gave him my husbands info (because I'm currently in NorCal to help my mom while my husband is still home), and before we hung up he gave well wishes. He said he could relate to my story and that broke my heart. So later on my husband went to pick up the drinks we had on hold, and EG added a bouquet of flowers for us for free. I hope he reads this review and knows what an amazing human he is. He was kind and thoughtful and went above and beyond for my family and I. We live in HB, and will gladly take the trip to this location after the fantastic service my family experienced today. THANK YOU EG. Also, I've never had an issue with this store. It's huge, always stocked up, and always clean.

    Most spacious Trader Joe's I've ever seen!

I've been obsessed with the coffee shop across the parking lot, and I finally felt that it was time for me to try fermentation farm. Their kombucha hands-down has been some of the best I've ever had. I tried the famous tuna melt and also got a chicken taco. The food was good, but not great in my opinion. At that price point, there are a lot of nearby places with quality ingredients that taste better. I do love the mission and background of this restaurant. I read up a little bit about how the food is sourced. Consumers are definitely getting quality products here, but sometimes quality doesn't always transfer over as deliciousness. Again, the food was good, but not something that I'm going to be yearning for. I would like to come back and try the chocolate cake that is also very popular and perhaps the Ramen. And of course, another flavor of their delicious kombucha.

From the seafood department to the meat department, to the produce department. And so much more. Everything looks fresh and the displays are well presented.

I did not purchase anything this time as i was accompanying some friends but I recommend checking it out.

    Update since my last review... back in 2015!…read more Tokyo Central is where the old Marukai used to be. Everything has been upgraded - the store is newer, brighter, shinier! Sure, prices have caught up with inflation - but not by much. Prices here for fresh sushi/sashimi are very competitive compared to your sushi restaurant. The biggest draw/benefit since the Marukai rebrand/refresh? THE EPIC FOOD COURT! Literally, one of the best Japanese/Hawaiian prepared food offerings in Orange County. You've got everything from fresh sashimi party trays, to fresh cut sushi and hand rolls, all sorts of Japanese style sandwiches (egg salad, chicken katsu, etc.), fresh bakery breads, mochi, bento boxes featuring teriyaki chicken to chicken karaage, ramen bowls (these are amazingly good for store-bought ramen), poke bowls, and a hot food buffet bar - $10.99/lb. Service is always a plus, from the friendly security guard (whose been there since they were Marukai), to the cashiers that remember to offer you chopsticks. Store environment is clean, uncluttered, plenty of spaces to roam around. Parking sucks - especially if you come during lunch time and/or the weekend. Check out my photos!

You routinely find tables covered in at least one previous customers mess. The non-waiters ALWAYS attempt to place your table mat on top of the previous patrons toxic spill.

Beautifully made, but cold. If a Health Inspector attempted to eat lunch here, they'd be cited and possibly shut down until they could prove they have a staff trained to keep the place clean.
