Where do you usually get your supermarket sushi from? Thanks for watching! Please also follow my INSTAGRAM for rocking food pictures: instagram.com/rockstareater/

[@missmattox5636]

I just came back from a Mitsuwa Market run. Pretty much the only place I get supermarket sushi from. But I definitely want to check out Tokyo Central. Looks like Japanese supermarket heaven.

[@janemoon5327]

What time did you go? It looks like everything was just being put out 😍

[@WilliamKShank]

NO SUSHI! Safe Journey! CHOLULA!!!

[@eddiechloe]

The sushi from Tokyo Central brought me so much comfort while the pandemic was raging and all the restaurants were closed.

[@toeknee1505]

Now, I'm hungry!!! Thanks for the video!

[@Impozalla]

Tokyo Central is one of my all-time favorite Japanese grocery stores. Their food court is phenomenal.

[@RockstarEater]

I agree

[@eliabraham3693]

I don't know LA. I really want to know. But this diversity of food from different countries and cultures is really cool! How nice to see these videos on your channel.

[@bluu.0111]

Tokyo Central is great. Prices are also 2-3 dollars less than restaurant cost for the same quality, too. Even after inflation! I recommend looking at their American Wagyu Chuck Roll cuts. 9 dollars a pound and you get great marbling and flavor.

[@RockstarEater]

Wow, good to know.

[@janethirakawa6936]

Tokyo Central is Wonderful ❤ They’re also in Yorba Linda and West Covina, I go to! Food is fantastic! FRESH ❤😊 I also buy the Sashimi Platter from the Seafood Section!💕🍣

[@felip3ruiz]

Im Mexican American and love this food!!

[@ocean62]

I wish I lived close to this awesome market

[@rkbkirin5975]

I love Tokyo Central Market! I moved back to LA a few years back and I really missed the great Japanese supermarkets like Tokyo Central. They really do have awesome sushi. You should do a vid on the other eating places in the market too (if they're any good).

[@RockstarEater]

Hopefully someday

[@tommorningstar6373]

That is beyond awesome. SoCal seems to have sprouted some really cool places... not enough to drag me back. Thanks for the vicarious pleasures.

[@SystaSoldier]

Love Tokyo Central, and so does my granddaughter. They also sell pre-seasoned ground pork for fried wonton. Just fill, seal and fry. Soooo good!

[@RockstarEater]

Sounds delicious

[@richardt1792]

Tokyo Central has another branch in Torrance on Sepulveda. The Gardena site used to be called Marukai and it is a much larger store. It used to be a members only store. I am not sure if a membership is still required.

[@RockstarEater]

Sounds great

[@mata_matafuka]

Nope, the membership was long gone, and even then, you can pay a $1 each trip to shop there without a membership.

[@onemetaobstacle]

Steve.....I was waiting for this video. I met you while you were doing this video. I was the pne with the kid dressed as a green dragon, we took a pic together. Say, I just opened my 1st Japanese restaurant in HB, it's called Fisherman's Table Yamasaki. I'll be honored if you check it out. Have a great one. Be safe.

[@RockstarEater]

I will DM you.

[@lorettetucker8219]

Need to try this place. The 🍣 sushi from Whole Foods is pretty decent 👌

[@kamikazeteddybear1236]

I used to work at Tokyo Central Gardena, and it is as you said a Disneyland of Japanese food and products. During the pandemic, I love working there so much and seeing it flourish more makes me happier.

[@RockstarEater]

[@bobman-lo8hc]

There are quite a few Markets that have quality fresh sushi in the Gardena / Torrance area. Nijiya is another that has good sushi and bentos. Ralph's market even has good sushi. If you want it fresh from any of these places you have to get it at lunch time when it's being made. For dinner the food court is best to get something fresh. It looks like you didn't have some wasabi with your meal. I love wasabi on my sushi.

[@turkishdelight6032]

Would the sushi and other prepared meals not be fresh if I went at 8 in the morning? That’s the only time that I can stop by to grab my day’s lunch

[@TonyThai]

I stop by Tokyo Central/Mitsuwa/Seiwa very often for bento/sushi down here in Costa Mesa. Seiwa has the cheapest prices, but not as many options.

[@sushitraveler]

Awesome video bro!

[@RockstarEater]

Thanks Mike!

[@Bebe777333]

I love your videos! Keep up the great work!

[@dcreal1969]

Great review!! I will try this weekend!

[@RockstarEater]

Hope you like it

[@mnmaddict37532]

@Steve....You need to try the Karaage at Tenkatori. It's the best in L.A. Also, the tonkatsu at Kagura may be some of the best in L.A. as well.

[@mata_matafuka]

I second Tenkatori, I always get their fried gizzards as snacks when I am there, but personally I think the Kagura store in Torrance or even the one in El Segundo are much better than this location.

[@antravida-1890]

Love your videos

[@dankonishi9644]

Excellent review! From the Sushi/Bentos I’ve got at local So Cal area supermarkets, I’d rank 1. Central Market AKA Marukai 2. Tozai Market (Rosemead) 3. Mitsuwa 4. Nijiya

[@RockstarEater]

Good to know

[@rkbkirin5975]

I had not heard of Tozai, I'll have to give that place a try if I'm ever around Rosemead.

[@gailsfoodandstuff]

this place reminds me of our local Lotte Market, here in northern va.

[@leigh459]

I got some at Publix. It tasted pretty good. I wish I could find a market like you went to . The Publix I went to only has a little bit of sushi and there was poke there.

[@knuclear200x]

Japanese Supermarkets have superior food. Good for when restaurant food just isn't an option

[@gailannesquires3979]

Yummy...👍👍💕💕

[@islandrepublic9166]

I have eaten at most is not all of Socal Tokyo Central……. For my miney this is the best place to eat. High quality food at a fraction of the restaurant price. The set up is different depending in the location but all swrves this bento and sushi boxes…

[@RockstarEater]

Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos!

[@mata_matafuka]

This is the best Tokyo Central in the southbay, no need to go to the other locations, I come here for their sashimi and Japanese wagyu all the time!! I guess you are saving the gindaco takoyaki and tenkatori karaage in the food court for a next show. Those are amazing!!! You ain't a foodie if you don't eat those!! Mitsuwa on western used to be the best Japanese market, but it sucks now that they moved to Del Amo!!

[@AlwaysEating24.7]

Can u visit a h-mart next in ktown?

[@RockstarEater]

I can consider it

[@instructorlacc2910]

I did not realize their rice was grown in Japan. I've been there many times and never noticed the sticker.

[@nram1]

Very nice review. What was the total, if you can say? Looks like most were 9.99 and some 19.99. I hope you can do a tour of the place another time.

[@ssun1218]

Welcome back to the South Bay!

[@RockstarEater]

Glad to be back

[@i2ealphaze]

Dont forget to save room for the takoyaki (fried octopus balls) at one of the stalls in the food court!

[@RockstarEater]

Sounds good

[@jaclynpark40]

Tokyo Central is great for Japanese groceries (great prices and selection) but for sushi and bentos, I prefer Nijiya. Nijiya uses Koshihikari rice and quality of the ingredients is superior to Tokyo Central. The one on 182nd Street in Torrance also has a cafe with udon and donburi. Tokyo Central has a better food court though. Love Kagura for donkatsu and Tokyo du Croissants for pastries!

[@swaggersonchannel7255]

Damn! I never wanted sushi in my life lol

[@dankonishi9644]

Hi Steve! Did you keep your receipt? If you spend more than $40 you can get tokens to play their gacha gacha Japanese claw games by the entrance. You can take the receipt to their customer service next time you visit them and get the tokens to play. :)

[@mata_matafuka]

I think that was only during their anniversary, I recently shop there and spend well over $40, didn't get any token and the machines are no longer there, glad I got 2 penguins back then!

[@dankonishi9644]

@@mata_matafuka I just went there yesterday and the gacha gacha claw machine games are still there. We got tokens as well from the customer service desk.

[@victorlui5955]

😊🍻🍺

[@WilliamKShank]

NO Sushi! Safe Journey! CHOLULA!!!

[@tuja464]

Not only Japanese know how to make toyota, the West also know how to make toyota. A lot of non Japanese chefs are out there making better than the Japanese chefs 😅😅😅.

[@chanzo7950]

Korean supermarket like hmart is very expensive. If you get like 4-5 typical items will hurt your pocket like a hundred dollar 💯

[@nilong7437]

🥰

[@ftakenouchi1464]

Wow expensive!!

[@thatzombieplace]

Haha man if you think the food at the tokyo central is good. I got beach front property in Montana to sell ya

[@keolani769]

Pre-made food is way better at Nijiya.

[@Johnnytvu1]

Catalina kitchen ranch palos ayce Friday seafood buffet

[@RockstarEater]

Will definitely check it out.

[@Superhero_07]
