7.8
A Japanese seafood market that doubles as a prepared-food destination when you want sashimi-grade fish and grab-and-go staples without a full-service dining commitment. It’s most useful as a repeatable routine stop: shop a few premium cuts, then build a simple meal around rice and seasonal add-ons.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chirashi bowl, Sashimi assortment, Prepared bento
Scores:
Value: 7.8
Service: 7.4
Consistency: 7.9
Food Quality: 8.3
Atmosphere: 6.6

What makes it special: Seafood-market quality with prepared Japanese meals for real-life convenience.
Who should go: Home cooks and quick meal seekers
When to visit: Late morning or early afternoon
What to order: Chirashi, sashimi pack, bento
Insider tip: Buy one premium fish item, then pad the meal with a prepared side.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Limited street parking in Hunters Point; easier mid-day, tighter in the evenings. Most locals walk or bike.
Dress code: Very casual—streetwear, athleisure, or work-from-home fits are all normal.
Noise level: Low—quiet market environment, easy to have a conversation.
Weekend wait: Not applicable in the traditional sense—expect brief lines at peak times, usually 5–10 minutes.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait or very short line.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—some prepared sides, rice dishes, and snacks, but seafood is the focus.
Vegan options: Very limited—expect a few vegetable-based sides rather than full meals.
Gluten-free options: Good for sashimi and plain fish selections; prepared items may contain soy sauce unless specified.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for a traditional sit-down date, but great for a casual daytime stop or shared takeaway if you both like seafood.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There’s no reservation system—this is primarily a market and grab-and-go setup with limited seating, if any.
Is it kid-friendly? Fine for older kids who enjoy fish and simple rice dishes, but not designed for young children or long stays.
Best For
Better for: High-quality sashimi-grade fish, quick meals, and building a premium-but-simple Japanese meal at home.
Skip if: You want a full-service restaurant experience, omakase pacing, or a long, social sit-down meal.
