Love this place! Some great lunch for with sushi, rolls, onigiri, and other microwave friendly options. Great value! Love their snack collection.

Lots of goodies here! Lots of cooked food, japanese ingredients that are hard to find and even an alcohol section with umeshu and choya. Very convenient and accessible!

One of the loveliest Japanese stores we’ve been to here in LA! We stopped by to buy some snacks for the ride back home and after glancing through the aisles and displays, Marukai Market clearly has a lot to offer. There’s a wide selection of packaged snacks, onigiri, sushi, baked goods, desserts, cooking ingredients, produce, and general kitchen-ware like plates, bowls or pots. To our surprise they even have plushies, toys, and figurines! Just about everything you need or want from an asian market, Marukai has. I was also very happy to see both tourists and locals buying goods from here. I love seeing a well-visited store and this market is definitely well loved by it’s community. We will definitely be coming back to visit whenever we find ourselves in Little Tokyo 🤍

Notes:
- Self-checkout is available
- Security guard at entrance
- Street parking/Little Tokyo parking
- Located in a plaza with a lot of other great shops!

Great japanese super market! All of the imported goods were pretty cheap compared to opposing markets. Had a huge isle of plushies, great selection of alc, makeup, premade food, etc.

DTLA Japanese market located on Astronaut Ellison S Onizuka St inside Weller Court. Parking lot entrance on 2nd St, nearby parking garage, street parking and (1 hour parking validation with $25+ purchase) Market is a bit small but has everything from Japanese liquor & snacks to bento & sushi. Decent prices, no lines, clean and organized store. The staff and management are outstanding and literally had me in awe... each and every employee I encountered was knowledgeable and courteous! I give thanks for **Extraordinary Guest Service** to 🏆Matthew🏆 to 🏆Joan🏆 and manager 🏆Nessie🏆 By far one of the most pleasant shopping experiences I've had and you have my gratitude! 5 Stars! I would definitely recommend this market!

Extensive selection of all your fav Asian market products at really good prices.

Grab some fresh sushi from here and grab a seat at an outdoor table to make for a quick and affordable lunch or dinner on the go!

All your most eclectic instant ramen brands and flavors as well as cute gift section right at the entrance.

Don't miss out on the boba ice cream bar which is amazing and at a reasonable price for a package of 4.

This place is awesome! They have pre-packaged meals, lunch bags, and Japanese tea. They have pretty much everything here, but the price wasn’t that affordable.

🥰Love this store but parking is kind of tight… I had a strong feeling my small parking was going to be bad, the person who was on the other side decided not to be courteous and hit my side door. Don’t assume people will get in carefully and backup to let the other passenger in, we witnessed this from afar after the inside attendant placed us in the tight space. Sucks but there are wider spaces, wait for those instead. We love this store so much we’d give it another go. Lots of goodies here and great sushi, snacks, coffee, desserts, and many other things. Took the store survey from the QR code at the registers and learned they are certified vendors for Japanese Wagyu. Will consider that a curious option on the next visit. Overall it’s a nice place and worth the visit, note to those going in the parking structure, it’s tight and the entrance may not accommodate a truck or large vehicle. It’s canned sardine parking down there, be sure to fold your mirrors in at least and brace yourself for dings and scratches from cars besides yours. 😫👎🏻
