Ten Ichi Mart — Local services in New York

discovered Ten Ichi after grocery shopping around Flat Iron and felt hungry —funny how that works!? Ten Ichi Mart is a Japanese grocery store that sells prepared foods like sushi rolls, oninigiri, Donburi rice bowls, and a variety of other cold and heated eats. the majority of the store is packed neatly with Japanese and other Asian grocery items from canned goods to frozen items to limited fresh produce to a variety of snacks and candies. seems like most people come here for the 8 pm discount where a bunch of prepared foods like the sushi, Donburi, etc. is 50% off…that’s where the store gets super crowded as people grab items and wait in line for the discount to go into effect. the food quality of the prepared foods is a solidly good option when you’re hungry and want a quick bite but again it’s good but not sit down restaurant quality. been here several times and have tried the shumai, spam musubi, tatoyaki and gyoza — all tasted fine…i’d say the tatoyaki was my favorite of the bunch. haven’t tried the larger platters of rice + curry or any of the teriyaki bentos, yet. the staff is pretty friendly. Ten Ichi is located fairly close to Madison Square Park so if you don’t feel like Shake Shack in the park…Ten Ichi is a good option for some al fresco dining if you’re willing to pick up...

If you're strolling down 5th Ave between 22nd and 23rd Street, I highly recommend swinging into Ten Ichi Mart if you're craving a Japanese snack. This market may be little, but it is very densely packed with delightful items that I thought you could only find in Japan. There are a plethora of snacks like Japanese Kit Kats, uniquely flavored chips like Lobster Bisque or Scallop, and Pocky sticks, but there's also a wide range of Japanese staples such as natto, fresh fruit and veg, drinks, and other goodies.

For those who want quick convenience foods, there are a lot onigiri, sushi, sashimi, and hot bento items to choose from - and if you show up at 8pm, everything except sashimi is 50% off, so you can have a cheap and tasty meal to enjoy. The only complaint - the fish is fresh but the rice in the sushi items is kinda nappy. As for the onigiri,...

Ten Ichi Mart and Deli isn’t actually a restaurant, despite what the name might suggest. Instead, it’s a small Japanese market tucked right in the heart of Midtown NYC — and when you put that in perspective, a visit here feels like a blessing.

The space may be tiny, but it’s impressively stocked with all kinds of Asian food essentials. It’s surprisingly complete, and best of all, very affordable.

Sure, the food quality can be a bit inconsistent at times, but the prices more than justify those shortcomings. Most of the items are more than satisfying, and I especially enjoy their assorted sushi rolls and chirashi bowls. Honestly, I’m just grateful this...
