Visited again. It's really about their takeout menu!! (And mochi/snacks) Crazy cheap for amazing comfort food!! Great quality. Way better than many restaurants. From $5.49 sushi rolls to $8.99 bento boxes! It took 10-15 minutes to wait. Fyi, no eating inside even if waiting. The kitchen closes M-Sat 6pm/Sun 5pm.
How to order your protein (Fish/Meat), as a side $4.99-$6.99, bowl (rice, picked, seasoned veggie) $7.99-$10.99, bento (bowl stuff plus macaroni salad, nikujaga) $7.99-$9.99, makunouchi (bento stuff plus seasoned veggie, 2pc fried chicken, fried vegetable croquette) $10.99-$14.99. There's also a salmon rice ball $1.99, curry $5.99 base and then add sides like $5 pork cutlet), other bowls like eel bowl $16.99, other hand to cut rolls like tuna hand roll $2.99 or spicy tuna 8pc roll $6.49 to tuna 16pc roll $7.49.
We ordered the $7.99 Fried Spanish Mackerel 2pc as a Bento box. Croquette: Tbd if there is dairy so I just avoided it. I didn't order the Maku. Macaroni has only mayo, no dairy. $7.99 Chicken Bowl. $7.49 Salmon Sushi cut 16pc. mochi (forgot how much, but that's in the snack area) They were delicious!! The price is insane!!
Note to self: Come back try everything else on the menu. And remember to buy a couple of $1.99 rice balls to store at home. Mochi is a must for the SO.
1st Visit Review: $6.95 for a tuna roll was a great deal!! Takes credit card. Found this place via Yelp. Typical intimate Japanese market found in LA or Vegas, where produce to certain products cost a bit more. It's not a full grocery store. Apparently, they're popular for their bento boxes which we didn't have time to order from the kitchen. I always find myself as a tourist when it comes to Japanese markets. I love to-go items, small snacks and fun finds. I usually expect limited produce, high prices, and some quality items.
We loaded up on some small items like dried seaweed for soup, to the appetizer kinds. SO likes his mochi but not his rice ball. I got the picked Napa which was a bit more salty than expected. Funny but they also have the 3 ladies brand for spring roll rice paper.
Unsure if we'll visit again as it's pretty far from us. Great for locals or anyone near the Henderson area. We visited as a pass by visit, not as...
Read moreThis small Japanese market brings me back to the awesome visits i had in Tokyo and Osaka.
Japan Creek is the tiny in size with two main aisles but the shelves are stocked. Japanese snacks, candy, and canned drinks are the main reasons I visit Japan Creek. The vending machines in Japan offers some unique drinks that I enjoy and I was happy to find here. The black and green teas, oolong tea, milk teas, the coffee drinks, and the calpico beverages. The Premium Boss coffe is the best black coffee drink I've ever had and I'm glad I can stock up over here. The Japanese candy and Chips are attractively packaged and tasty. The Japanese snacks seem to taste cleaner and less processed than the U.S. snacks in my opinion. Additionally, there's fruits, vegetables, personal products, and a great noodle bowl section with an amazing selection of flavors.
It's so easy for me to visit here and walk out with more products I didn't plan on buying. This is a nice little Japanese market to visit if you're familiar with Japanese food products or are curious and want to...
Read moreI felt compelled to write my review after viewing the spew of negative comments against the store recently due to changes because of Covid. This market is located down the street from my home so I am a frequent shopper. I adore that this business is locally owned with a small, but good selection -- personally, I've never been disappointed. Since the Covid outbreak, what many of the negative commenters have failed to mention is that this store is ridiculously small, so placing a limit on how many people can go in at a time is absolutely needed and just common sense -- they also have had a labeled sign outside their store's front entrance since the start of covid so guests know immediately. This area that the store is located is full of entitled white people that expect special treatment and when its not given they will butcher locally owned businesses with negative reviews. Don't knock this market until you've stopped by and took a look for yourself, it's...
