I only got to come here once during my trip, and honestly that's one of my biggest regrets. :( I…read morewish I had gone back at least one more time. Tokyo Central really took me back to Japan. The workers were Japanese and everyone I interacted with was super friendly and welcoming. Their sushi, sashimi, and hot foods section were to die for!! They had all kinds of hot meals, skewers, and snacks that you could box up yourself and pay for by the pound. They also had separate sections for onigiri, sashimi, and sushi. I got there a little too early, so I missed out on the onigiri, but the sashimi was incredibly fresh and just melted in my mouth. I also picked up some mochi, and it was sooooo good. It was soft and pillowy instead of being super chewy, and I really wish I had bought more. I can't wait to go back to California just so I can visit Tokyo Central again.

I have been back to this location and they did good on their word to make sure their perishable…read moreproducts arent past the best by or expiration date from the products I checked. This chain differs from their competitor Mitsuwa in that they are more focused on being a grocery store. As such their grocery staples and their bentos are more varied than Mitsuwa. This probably makes up for their lack of food court. They also carry unique seasonal goods that Mitsuwa doesnt and vice versa. Mitsuwa has food courts and temporary traveling specialist vendors which are always exciting. Mitsuwa probably has a wider selection of more specialized goods tho. That said both chains are a great service to our area and will satisfy any Japanese food enthusiast like myself.

Arrived around 6 am and there was a short line for crabs and another line for different fishes. We got 6 of their black cods for $11/pound and they were alive and FRESH! They also had shrimps and red snappers available but no sea urchins. Their butchers ask if you'd like your fish cleaned and will skin them there and bag it up. Most people brought their own pails or ice coolers to hold them in. After paying for your seafood (paid cash), be sure to stop by the lovely Seaside Donuts right across for a warm croissant and sweet treat or go fishing at the beautiful pier! Also plenty of parking during this time that's free until 8 am! :)

Yes, you're not saving any money really. The prices are no better than any other fish market. In fact, they might be cheaper at the Asian seafood places.

Wow! Add Wild Fork to stores I never knew existed, but is stoked to find out about! With the…read moreclosure of my go-to grocery store - Amazon Fresh just down the street - I've been scouting around the area for my next food spot. I liked the single-serve salmon portions, as well as ready-to-heat-and-eat meals that Amazon Fresh had. Someone recommended that I check out Wild Fork - also on Brookhurst (at Adams) - so off I went! I stopped by on an early Sunday morning - so luckily, the parking lot was practically empty, as was the store. Immediately upon entering I noticed how bright and clean the store was, wide aisles, everything was organized in its own little section. I started off on one corner and just browsed my way through. Nina - one of the store clerks here - chanced upon me and asked if I needed help finding anything. I told her it was my first time - and she took it from there! Extremely friendly, warm and welcoming - she explained the store's color coded system, pointing out the exotic meats section (they have alligator/crocodile here!!), beef - including wagyu, pork, sausages (they literally have two freezer sections of sausage/chorizo), meals/appetizers, and my favorite section - seafood/fish. After I shared with her my sadness over Amazon Fresh closing - especially because I liked their single-serve salmon portions - Nina pointed out their salmon offerings, and mentioned that their salmon portions are also single-serve, flash frozen (so they stay fresh longer) - but showed me how they were individually wrapped within their own packaging. I picked up a few salmon entrees based off Nina's recommendations, and my own tastes. I know a few people have raved about their frozen pasta meals - so I grabbed a few of those boxes too. Checkout was a breeze - Nina helped me at checkout and shared that the store occasionally has BBQs on the weekends. Wild Fork is definitely a new favorite - hoping to come back and check out the other offerings depending on how everything I bought turns out! Awesome service and introduction to a new customer - thanks, Nina!

There's a parking lot next door, which alleviated stress over parking around a beach. My friends and I shared the ahi poke, salmon poke, and ceviche. Each of the orders came with chips. Everything was flavorful but our favorites were between the ahi and the salmon. While I wouldn't say it was the best poke I've had, especially considering the wait, it was still tasty and worth trying!

Oh and then you can go shopping at South Coast because you just so happen to be at a venue that's nicer than Lido anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Unless you're already down in Balboa or Lifo area, then you may as well just go to wahoos fish tacos. It's the same price for the outer reef burrito and the quality is about the same imo. The lemon butter burrito catch of the day missed the mark. If you go during the day it isn't crazy busy though which was good ig

Bristol Farms is a great spot to come for lunch…read more The sushi and poke bar is amazing and always feels super fresh and healthy. It is one of my favorite quick lunch options. The sandwiches and soups are solid too, and they have a really good selection of protein bars and specialty items. That said, this is a very expensive grocery store, so I would not come here for my weekly grocery shopping. It is more of a premium stop for prepared foods and specialty items than an everyday market for me.

Always a lively atmosphere, parking can be a challenge. This is located in a crowded, but fun shopping center! My favorite item is their matzah ball soup and fresh juice selections! The customer service team are always helpful and friendly, and with the high prices they charge, they need to step it up more! Their selection and store layout are impressive. And yes, they are higher priced than Whole Foods, which is why I buy a very few items at Bristol Farms. Overall, I had a positive experience. Also, if you're purchasing a BF gift card, they will only accept cash or debit cards as payment only. Enjoy!!!!
