For a small place they have a lot of great groceries to choose from! This place is well stocked. They have pretty much everything you would need. The people that work there are nice and very helpful! Definitely check this place out for your Japanese grocery needs!!

Good variety of products, Saturday and Sunday frozen items have 40% discount ( except meat and fish ). Price are higher than Chinatown.

Excellent place to drop by for a quick snack or meal while on the go. Sushi seems to be made fresh daily in an abundance of varieties. Our favorite here had to be the spicy tuna rolls, Japanese snacks and cold green tea beverages. Clean environment with ample amounts of hand sanitizer sprinkled throughout. Most of the patrons properly social disanced but the store is super narrow so keep that in mind on your next visit. Great spot to grab some extra firm tofu as well. Great customer service with speedy checkout lines.

Fresh foods and exotic bentos extremely fair prices.

Lots of stuff packed into a small space. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Able to explain how to use lots of things

Excellent Japanese grocery also has sushi and other prepared foods which you can eat outside.

Very good selection of groceries.

Great addition to the neighborhood. I definitely picked up some tasty prepared food while I was going to Pratt. We all need variety. The chirashi bowl however, was pretty terrible.

A Japanese grocery store that offers a lot of the convenience store items of Japan. You can get ready to eat take out food here as well. Service is great

Excellent selection of Japanese Foods. It is a one of a kind.

Great small Asian store.

A great place to shop for both grocery and home goods. Also cute things for children .

Unique products from Japan. Clean and tasty food. Had a salmon rice triangle. Nice.

Wow they were really welcoming, and communicating with their customers. It made me feel relax.

I love this place and everyone here is nice and knows their products. Ask any employee and they will point to what you are looking for or need. The store has good hours of operation, carries all the Japanese brands that you expect, including the nicest beers and prepared drinks, as well as to-go sushi that I must say is not bad at all. They even have uni trays on select days. For me one of my favorites Japanese stores.

Staff is the best! Great variety of choices! And prices are always reasonable 🔥🔥🔥

Amazing experience. Liked the selection of imported items. Enjoyed the experience.

Favorite neighborhood grocery store. The onigiri is on point and there are so many delicious options! The staff is very nice and always helpful!

One of the better Japanese markets in town. Small but good.

Such a great selection of various snacks and groceries as well as household items and personal products.

Adorable little Asian shop with such great things to choose from. From skin care to food items, its a treasure to find in the west village. Very affordable pricing and kind staff. My now go to spot closest to home.

Everything was great, a wide variety of food snacks and more to buy :) Microwave to heat up meals too

As a resident of Meatpacking, I find Dainoubu to be a true gem of the neighborhood. This place is my savoir whenever I need to get some Asian grocery and cant find the energy to venture to Chinatown or K-town. This may be a small store but they really do have everything you need. I particularly love their Japanese breads/toast that are sliced slightly thicker than what you would get from an average bakery in the US. This store really has everything you need from Japanese beer, condiments, candies, vegetables to body care products. Even though this place is pretty stuffed with goods, its incredibly clean and organized. You really wouldnt expect anything less from the Japanese =)

I love this little Japanese grocery store! They also sell nice Japanese home-made dishes to go, you can warm them up in a microwave at the store or take with you, and the store next door which they own sells hot food to go. The prices are very good and the food very tasty.

They have a substantial selection of non perishable items. Some premade sushi. I was looking for thai bird chillies. They didnt have that. They did have shishito leaves though. Also a lot of frozen foods. Small place but nicely curated. Good customer service.

Good sushi ready to eat

Good stuff, the food is cold though

Great place for Japanese groceries. Tiny but packed with goods. Very good customer service. On weekends they offer 40% off on all frozen food

Fun little grocery store with a great variety of well-priced, already made Japanese food!

I absolutely love this place! Best Japanese Mart around. Cleverly stocked and great prices.

Great Japanese specialty store, the staff is very helpful and polite.

I loved their sushi and little dumplings. Theyre to die for! Definitely coming back.

A small Japanese grocery packed to the gills with product. They seem to have a little of everything including hot food which was not available at my time of visit. Prices were moderate and service was pleasant.

Had gyu don and mapo don. Both are americanized, sweet and unhealthy Japanese bento. Do not buy if you like Japanese food.

Has all the essentials needed to make a nice Japanese meal.

Their sushi and sashimi are always fresh and made on that day. Quality is very good and prices are reasonable. The staff is always polite and helpful. It is my go place when I want to have some home made sashimi.

All Japanese specialty products and prepared foods can more than definitely be found here. Always clean, always organized, and very hospitable staff. My only complaint is price, other than that; A+

LOVE! I just adore this little grocery shop so much. I always get various prepared foods here, always SO delicious and affordable. Drinks are yummy too. Staff is very nice, quick cashier service!

What a great treat for lunch!

Well stocked..interesting Japanese and Asian foods

Great variety of japanese products

Great selection of groceries and delicious freshly prepared bento boxes! So glad I found this place

You can find most japanese cooking goods for a reasonable price without needing to go to a larger specialty store. Prepared food is pretty good as well. The convenient location makes it a good choice for weekday dinner options.

This little shop is awesome. Fun snacks and drinks!

My favourite Japanese grocery spot for snacks on the way to work! I get industrial amounts of green tea here. Highly recommended.

Perfect little market for grocery items and lunch. They offer freshly packed sushi, onigiri, tempura, salads and other Japanese comfort meals in the front. But dont be afraid to wander to the back where they have a hot station where you can get soups and rice dishes. Affordable and great value!They even have a microwave & give you utensils.

Amazing selection of Japanese meat, drinks, snacks, ramen, and produce at a great price. I go here all the time.

The staff is sweet! They have so much good stuff to choose from.

If you love japanese snacks...and who doesnt...this is the spot

This location is very small but it has all the right Japanese groceries! You can get prepared foods or groceries to make your favorite Japanese dish! I love the cream puffs located at the from of the store. I do suggest avoiding this place after 5PM as it does get crowded.

Love this grocery store. Has all the usual Asian groceries as well as quick Japanese meals like tonkatsu and sushi

Affordable Japanese groceries. Probably one of the few groceries stores in NYC I can think of off the top of my head that has everything I need thats Japanese cuisine related.Employees are helpful, especially if you have no idea what you need for your dish. One helped me find everything I needed for Takoyaki.They also sell cooked foods and imported sweet drinks. Would definitely come back if Im in the area.

Small but well stocked Japanese grocery store. Their wide selection of sushi and other pre-prepared Japanese dishes for take-away are a popular lunch stop for people who live and work in the neighborhood.

Literally come here every day for lunch, sometimes even again for dinner if Im staying in Manhattan for a while. Very healthy and classy for the price so I dont mind paying for it. The store is clean. There are so many options for food and snacks at the fridge in the front. And theyre at a variety of portion sizes and price points, ranging from $2 to $13. Hot fresh food served in the back but it closes later in the afternoon.

Places is tiny, but the food is very delicious, worker is friendly, I always go there, I love it

Japanese grocer with high quality but limited sushi and other prepared food.

Very clean. Excellent selection of Japanese products. I actually had my first product I needed to return, a package issue beyond the control of the store. The manager handled the situation very well and I exchanged without a receipt. The staff was professional and respectful. Excellent customer service. Reminds me of Japan!

My go to place near home for a quick bite or snack binge, love it.

They have a great selection and their prices are fair. They have many different sushi grade fish, many different spices and sauces, even more snacks, and a really nice selection of side dishes. They also have pre made food, hot and cold. Id definitely come back here!

Love this Japanese grocery store as I call it. All goods Japanese found here. Prepared foods too and the freshest sushi. Good prices and lots of foodie items. Stop by if you are in the hood 6th Ave and 13-12 street.

Great place for Japanese snacks, sodas and small meals. Unusual long line.

My favorite japanese grocery place when I need to pick up some yummy snacks. They also have a full selection of frozen dumplings, meats, and fresh noodles. Their daily freshly made cream puff is to die for

They have the best hand made noodles. Boil for 2 minutes and they are al dente, perfect!!!

Its a very small store, but unrivaled in its selection of Japanese candy and drinks and food. I love coming here and getting great snacks! Its also a good place to get lunch or dinner even.

Your one stop shopping for all your Asian grocery needs or wants

Favorite place to grab a chunk of sashimi, some tea or single bottle of beer. I go here for ingredients to make a poke bowl at home. Such a fun place, its a kindof mini grocery store with all the Asian faves, including candies. Fun just to peruse.

This Japanese chain grocery store has all the stuff you need to make that next meal. The prepared meal section has a good selection of ready made meals. There is plenty of snacks you can sort through to your hearts delight. Prices are reasonable enough if you dont get carried away with that supply of Pocky addiction.

There arent many asian specialty stores in Manhattan outside of Chinatown or Little Korea, so finding this has been a joy. Good selection of Japanese products, snacks, and food. Will update when I try the hot dishes in the back.

Pleasant staff. Very good selection of everything! Even some beer if youre inclined to grab some Japanese or Korean beer.Also some onigiris! Yum

Clean and friendly Japanese deli with a wide selection of food! I go out of my way to come visit. The prices are great, too! Some of the things I buy here are about the same prices they are in the South (e.g., candy). There is a microwave available to heat up the prepared food you bought.

This is a convenient on-the-way-home place. I go from the PATH to the subway each evening and I often find myself stopping here, whether to pick up some fresh miso or other Japanese grocery items - or picking up some sushi or onigiri.Its a great alternative to the usual boring evening meal choices.

Wife and I pop in here anytime were in the city. Pretty good spot for all your japanese needs

5 stars to DAINOBU!BTW, Could you guys please remind the store next to you(you guys taste the same, I suppose you have a same owner?) that whenever there’s tofu, please give your customer a spoon 🥄 thanks!

Great store that has all the J staplesBut also a few rare items.

Great snack selection but a bit over priced

Dainobu is pretty expensive but very well stocked. They have everything you could hope to find in a Japanese grocery. Their food is prepared on site and is always fresh. Only downside is the lack of seating, but its a tiny place.

Love this Japanese deli store. Great food selection. I always buy during the weekend for their discounter frozen goods.

Great Japanese market. Frozen food deals on weekend cant be beat! Amazing selection of bento box and other quick meal options.

Bought some frozen beef and it was delicious. Good selection of Japanese snacks and sushi too.

GREAT VARIETY. A Bit On The Pricey Side. They Are Importing A Lot Of Stuff From Japan Though, So, The Price Is A Bit Justified For SOME THINGS!

This is one of my go to spot for Japanese groceries and snacks. Will almost always take a tiny tuna roll with whatever Im getting. Or order full ramen and udon dishes in the back. Staff is always nice and amicable.

Convenient Japanese place with fresh sushi boxes to go.

Dainobu is a wonderful Japanese spot and I frequently stop in for a quick snack of riceballs, replenishment of grocery staples like gyoza sauce and crackers, or to try fun cosmetics items like sheet masks with cute animal faces. They have a wider selection than Midoriya, the other Japanese grocery store in the area, though I love them both. If youre around midday, their spicy chicken riceballs are an absolute must!

Space is tight but they have just about everything for making Japanese dishes I wanted. Their prices are good too

Smaller than Sunrise Mart in the East Village, but with a more highly curated selection of fine Japanese ingredients. Great place to find uncommon things you cant find anywhere else in NYC. Also often run sales on popular items such as Asahi Beer or Oishi Green Tea. They also own the sushi restaurant next door.

Great selection of Japanese food. I come here to stock up on frozen dumplings, they are 40% off every weekend. It is a gem!

This store has great products and prepared foods at beyond reasonable prices. The people are very friendly and the lines move quickly.

Thank goodness for this shop in the neighborhood- clean, friendly, and yummy. They offer full range of Japanese groceries, sauces. And prepared foods.

Dainobu is a fantastic Japanese store. They sell Japanese food and Japanese skin care products, hair care products. The produce is very fresh and the quality is excellent.

Hard to find Asian products are easy to find here.

Come right after Noon when they start loading up the cases with freshly made to-go sushi, yaki, and various other Japanese to-go staples. Prices are excellent. My go-to staple for working - while-i-eat lunches.

Packaged food is pretty good, and some very cheap for the quantity. I come here for furikake/rice toppings and kabocha/vegetables, which always look incredibly fresh on my visits.

Great selection of packaged and prepared foods.

Great sushi, chicken karaage and Japanese beverages for an excellent value.

Great prepped food for a quick lunch! Onigiri is on point, dumplings are good, and rice bowls are a great value. Frozen foods, beverages, and loads of dry goods including many snacks! Go to for Japanese lunch in the neighborhood

Good selection but little pricy than other Japanese store in midtown.

Its a small grocery store with good bento and Japanese goods. There are few fresh produce. The staff are nice.

This store has a nice selection of Japanese import groceries at reasonable prices.

Friendly people efficient check out amazing selection

Nice little asian market with a lot of snacks and premade food to buy. A lot of things I havent seen other places and the prices are good as well.
