I was surprised to find this Fujiya location! This is a really great store, smaller than the Clarke location, bigger than the Bentall Centre. It's got a little bit of everything. They're super friendly here too. I would definitely make a point to stop by here more often!
Also, I found spicy coffee! I've never seen this one before!
I am always so happy with my purchases! The ladies who work in the store are lovely & helpful... it is so nice to be to purchase most of my Japanese products here. I make a weekly shop here as i have found the prices are not out of proportion compared to other stores. There is lots of parking and they are Handicapped accessible. However, when the store is busy, it is not as easy to move around in, but the ladies are helpful and will assist you if necessary.
I love this place. It is a great source of Japanese treats. They have a ready to eat food bar and a small eating area but I only ever come here for groceries. They also have a lot of packaged snacks and treats. The ladies who run it are very knowledgeable on recipes and can direct you to the correct dishes and spices, even sending you to alternatives if they don't have it. You can also occasionally special order from them. Prepared food is usually pretty good, though on slow sales days it might have sat for awhile. No bathroom here, because it isn't a true restaurant.
Parking is great, but they are only on two bus routes.
I find the Commercial drive location to has more to offer, I went mid afternoon and there was no sushi left. I guess they sell out quick. There doesn't seem to be as much ready prepared foods too. Found out you can actually order their sushi online if you go late in the day (preorder at least 1 day)!
Always Love their O-Bento Dishes that are delivered to the Volunteers on set up day at the Powell Street Festival.
Itsumo Oishii-Desu!
The quintessential Japanese food supply company in the lower mainland. Really good prices but go with someone who reads Japanese as the labeling is barely english at best. Sometimes products have a very small label with minimal description so it gets interesting interpreting what you are purchasing. It does make it an adventure though! Great shop, lots of selection
I love the food here I come for lunch and snacks and the food is yummy and the aunties are nice :3c
Good Price sushis just before closing Time
I had questions on some products and how to use them in Japanese cooking and the staff were kind to help me. Prices are marked up VERY HIGH so please price check before you buy something here.
I tried their fresh fish cakes at the cashier and found them way to sweet for my liking.
Much better that Izumiya, despite the smaller size. Ladies at the cashier very friendly and professional. Sauces and frozen foods section commendable. My go-to spot for a quick ingredient refill when downtown traffic is a headache to get to Konbiniya on Robson.
