Very well stocked Japanese fish market and grocery. I visited today as a tourist; but this market compares very well to other similar places in LA, Chicago, NYC and Boston/Cambridge. Excellent selection of fish, seafood, dry goods, frozen foods, prepared foods, teas and snacks. If so lived in the area, this would definitely be my go-to Japanese market.

Even 30 minutes before closing their sashimi still tastes as fresh as the ocean

This has become my to go place for good fish. Yes it can be pricey but worth it. Hard to find these kind of places, the staff is pretty cool too. The parking can be a pain but so is everywhere else in California. But if you want good sushi and fish go here

Great place to shop for Japanese foods. Staff is very helpful. Limited parking so you might have to use street parking.

Fantastic selection of prepared and ready-to-prepare food and fish are the main highlights! Sashimi grade fish sold in giant portions, blocks, or sliced and ready to eat. Sushi comes out throughout the day regularly to replenish the reach-in fridge, and party trays can be ordered ahead of time for larger parties.Parking is a short u-shaped private lot off San Pablo avenue, which can be challenging but looks to cycle through rapidly. Will definitely be back soon to look for other seasonal finds as our new go-to store!

Simply the best fish you can get in the area. Sort of restaurant supply vibe. Parking lot is small and challenging

A small Japanese grocery, but so many traditional Japanese goods, fresh fish. The sushi’s price not like that cheap, same as some of the restaurants, but the sashimi salmon & Tuna belly are really tasty and affordable.

Beautiful market with a nice selection of produce, meats, sake, and plenty of dry goods. They also have a cute gift shop. The whole experience brings me right back to Japan. Im excited to have found what will be a new staple for us.

Diy bowl at home with all the fresh fish from Tokyo fish market

This place is cool, just like many small markets in Tokyo. Products are authentic and reasonably priced! The staff are kind and helpful!

Really great prices and selection of groceries you cant easily find anywhere else! Onigiri is pretty satisfying as well.

Good quality, price, and service make the wait worth. It took us almost an hour in the line, but have a good variety of selections. Cannot wait to taste them at home!

Fresh fish galore plus tons of frozen delicacies. Every sauce, spice and exotic fruit you need is also there. And dont forget the treasures from their gift shop,

Worth a drive. Impressive selection. Perfect if youre looking for supplies to make your own sushi.

Small market with a great selection of snacks and groceries. Decent pre-packaged onigiri too, absolutely worth a visit for that alone! Huge selection of fish, and some very appetizing sashimi salmon available when we visited. Very small parking lot, but parking is available in the nearby Dollar Tree or the Whole Foods :)

Fantastic mini Asian market. Freshest fish outside of the farmers markets. Any kind of fish you could want, some whole, some trimmed, and some sashimi grade as well.If you show up early expect to wait in line,for like an hour. Thats how popular the place is, worth it if you want the freshest seafood possible.

Buy sushi grade fish and make your own! 13$ per pound salmon more than enough for 3 people, as opposed to paying for $15 for 6 piece of sashimi

Freshest fish in town and more variety than you will find at any other market, in addition they have all things Asian cuisine related, fresh produce, snacks, every ingredient you need to make all your favorite dishes.

Very nice little shop with a huge selection of fresh fish.Im docking a star because as I was sitting outside on one of their benches after having made my purchases, waiting for my companions to exit the store, a worker came out and, Excuse me, sir, this is private property.Its not like Im wearing shabby clothing and I literally came out of the store only 5 minutes prior.

Consistently great fish great service great prices over the last 35 years Ive been shopping there.

For a fish market they are clean buisy gives great service.Visit atleast once a week. They listen to your requests and their staff very polite 👍👍👍👍👍

Great place to get some fresh fish to make sushi at home!

Legit! Love this place I live in the North bay we dont have anything like this here. I will be back! Everything was tasty! A tip of youre traveling is to bring a cooler and some ice because youll want to buy a lot to take home!

A sashimi lovers paradise!!! And now that California is fully opened there are no long waiting in lines. Oh and the Salmon bellys are attractively priced for the size.

The place I go to buy fresh fish for sashimi and sushi. They have many other asian necessities. I also love to buy cheap salmon heads here too for sinigang.

One of the best experiences in Berkeley it is family on they always put the customer first and always has some of the freshest products that you can get into Bay area I love going there for Christmas gifts and to see the owner cubby he is truly a gift been going there for over 30 years I remember when he worked in a little spot at the Berkeley bowl on Shattuck so many moons ago always a great person then and they even better person now keep up the great work Tokyo fish market always a pleasure Elijah

Always top notch service and products. Made poke from reasonably price tuna trim. Yum!

Best place in NorCal to buy fresh fish for sushi or any other fishy need. One stop shop for your japanese grocery shopping.

This is a classic reason we NEED to support our local economy and peoples. Jeff bezos gives dirty kisses of death and the whole food and delivery staff has power only collectively so no one speaks up, but this is a gem right next to a giant dong with sentorum of rumsfeld or something... Anyhoo. Go git u sum sashimi ya hea mi?

Fresh seafood. Small but nice.

Very very crowded and difficult to navigate. Went on a Saturday. Reading Japanese is a big plus.

Fresh and very reasonable seafood. Staff are also very friendly and helpful.

Love shopping here. Try to avoid weekends and other peak times when lines are long.

The cashier lady who was not east Asian mishandled and was just tossing the sushi rolls we bought. I was so upset but she didnt have a clue and looked like she had no idea. Onigiri we got were terrible with very little stuff in it. Not getting those again.

Small Japanese supermarket, lots of fresh fish and options for people to buy small portion fresh vegetable.

Always a delight to visit this establishment.

Have you ever wanted to eat high quality sashimi at 1/3rd of the price? Well this is the place you can do that

A small Japanese market. Great selection of Japanese groceries, seafoods, meats and freshly made sushi. They have A5 Wagu beef as well.

Today is a special occasion and I wanted to make a special occasion meal. looking for rare seafood ingredients I called this place because it usually has a reputation of stocking good seafood. after speaking to someone over the phone, she confirmed she had the specific ingredient, especially after putting me on hold for a couple of minutes to check. I drove 45 minutes to this place, and when I got there nobody had a clue.after seeking out the cashier who I spoke to, she gave a very unapologetic acknowledgment and moved on with her job. horrible employee that just caused this business to lose a customer.if youre looking for normal Japanese fare, this place should have it,...just dont rely on this place at all for any special occasion and definitely dont trust the cashiers to confirm whether or not they do have it.

Excellent quality sashimi grade fish. I come here for my fish whenever I want to make sushi at home. Their half teriyaki chicken is also very good.

Truly one of my favorite fish markets in the Bay Area. I travel from Santa Clara all the way to this place and I go here at least once a month, so that should tell you something. The quality of all the fish that they have is at the highest quality. They truly cater to sushi lovers. Im like a kid in a candy store at this place.

This is the place to go for all your Japanese import needs. Ignore the Daiso behind the curtain. If you want Orion in the East Bay, buy it here.

Great fresh fish

The freshest and best ahi tuna.

Fish not fresh fish eyes opaque not shining lower shelves dirty and some items which we bought were pass there sell by date unfortunately we didnt notice untill we got home 25 miles away

They had a beer with a cartoon dragon on it. It was awesome.

Awesome fish market. Love their sashimi.

Best Japanese fish market in the East Bay. The only problem is the small space and limited parking.

Really friendly, helpful service! I was particularly impressed by an employee who saw me carefully studying the various wasabi options and took initiative to offer advice about the best one to get without me asking. Another employee at the butcher counter was also super helpful because I had no idea how much fish to buy for the sushi party I was organizing, and after listening to my parameters she recommended the perfect amount!Other highlights include: good prices for sashimi grade fish (make sure you buy it at the butcher counter instead of the pre-cut blocks for the best deals) + a great, well-priced selection of grab-and-go bento boxes/sushi made by the chefs at Musashi (my favorite Japanese restaurant in Berkeley). They even have real, fresh, locally grown wasabi root!

Visited this cute Japanese grocery store in Berkeley and good thing I did. A friend highly recommends this place for sushi-grade fish fillets. I left the store not only with sushi-grade salmon and hamachi but with Japanese ingredients, beverages and fairly-priced sashimi, sushi sampler and grilled salmon bento.

Love this place, nothing you cant find for Japanese cuisine

This place rocks,felt like I was a lil kid back in japan..:) yummmm1

Best fish market in the east bay. Expect it to be a bit crowded, but well worth it. And dont sleep on their other meets. They even have Wagyu sometimes.

This was my first visit ever to the Tokyo Fish Market. We visited around 10:30am on a weekday and the line around the front took us nearly an hour of waiting to get into the store. Parking around the street in front of the store is metered (their own free parking lot is tiny and only holds a handful of cars), but there are some free spots in the neighboring streets, if one is willing to walk just a few minutes more.Once we finally made it inside, we were thankfully able to stock up on sushi-grade fish, as well as a few other groceries. They did a good job of limiting the number of customers within, and I didnt feel TOO cramped for comfort, although it definitely still gets cozy (within half a foot of people) around the fish section. I was relieved to find that their vegetables at least didnt seem too much pricier than I would give elsewhere. Otherwise, I was a little disappointed to find that they did not have thin-cut beef for gyudon, which Id thought could typically be found in Japanese grocery stores.The biggest disappointment, however, came after wed already left the store- we discovered that they had mischarged our purchase of some common white button mushrooms as shiitakeones instead, which are priced 3X as much. Its particularly lame because 1) these two mushrooms look nothing alike, and 2) the discrepancy in price for these are basically as extreme as you could get. Returning to the store and braving another hour in line to dispute this is a loathsome idea, and theres no email or website line to contact them with, so well just have to settle for this review. :( Im really quite upset by this move on the part of their employees.Apart from that, I loved the quality of their fish and really enjoyed my first sashimi donburi meal in months. It was pricey, but I felt like I did get the quality I paid for with my fish, at least.Unfortunately, I was really let down by the employees mistake(?) with our mushrooms and the super long wait, and ultimately dont see us coming back unless changes are made in the future.

One of the best in North America. I shopped there when visiting my daughter, summer 2019 (Im from Baltimore). Small place but excellent. Surpassed only by Seattles Uwajimaya, as far as Ive seen. The non-grocery shop is a little less good, but still has a decent selection of things----I suggest they carry more Japanese cutlery, especially non-stainless carbon steel.

Worth going early in the day

Excellent grocery store with sushi and poke available for lunch/dinner

Never disappoints, the freshest fish around for Sushi Grade. Little wait to get in because Covid rules but worth the wait

They had EVERYTHING we needed! Small portions of sashimi and roe that were perfect for making different rolls. This is the only place around that has mochi for frying. Amazing selection of ingredients.... I wont go anywhere else again before I make sushi from now on

Fresh, good quality sushi, Japanese food. Hawaiian Portuguese sausages, Laulau, etc.

Make my weekly trips here for fresh seafood!! Super happy every visit, the crab was a must for my last trip and they came through like always!! 💜

The lines are long; its a small store. But the fish is fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. They carry lots of options, from ready to eat food, instant noodles, produce, fresh fish, condiments, baked goods, etc.

Delicious and always fresh. This place is my go to for fish and sashimi.

Great fresh fish and Japanese grocery market. Can get insanely crowded though. Hopefully they can get a bigger space or streamline somehow. Thankful for yall, no doubt. Godspeed!

I can see why people who want good Japanese style seafood and meat are so excited by this place. There is a wide variety of fish -- even NZ orange roughy. Ready made portions of sashimi, sushi and cooked food are available, as well as pay by the pound fish. As I stopped in on the way to dinner elsewhere, I couldnt buy anything substantial, but couldnt resist a small portion of hamachi sashimi -- six pieces for under 5 dollars. I found it a little fishy. Maybe I was unlucky and will risk a second try because there were so many people, I must have missed something.

Good place to buy quality fish. Also the inside is clean and not smelly like other fish places

This store always has just what I want/need and the employees are quite helpful and friendly!

Great small grocery with an extensive fish counter.

Most expensive store and worst service ever. I go to a different store further away and go here ONLY when I have to

Fresh fantastic firm sashimi fish. Was directed here by a food freak. I come regularly. Very helpful service. I asked for poke fish once, and the counter man explained about using the trim (already cut up), and explained which seaweed to use, and how to make it.

Everything you need to make high quality sushi at home! Great sake collection too!

Great place to get fresh fish. Really friendly staff and a decent to-go selection. A difficult place to find parking but there are plenty of parking on public street. Attached is a cute dog waiting for her owner while hes shoping.

Long line due to covid but their fish is super delicious! Whenever I visit east bay I try to stop by as well. They have a bunch of Japanese food here that you might have a hard time finding at other Asian markets.

The Best place for Fresh Seafood, great Customer Service ! I travel over 20 miles each way to go here, worth the trip

A great little store with everything Japanese you could be looking for. We go there primarily to get sushi-grade fish, as it is the only place we trust for that. The wait to get in has been~30 mins both times we went.

Amazing grocery store

Great Japanese market. I come here for fresh ramen noodles whenever I get the chance. They also carry lots of interesting snacks and treats imported from Japan. I have never purchased fish here, but they carry lots of good looking sushi grade fish as well. Highly recommend.

Tokyo fish market offers the best service in Berkeley with low prices on imports. They also very serious with social distancing and cleanliness. Definitely worth a visit over ordering online.

Packed into a small space the Tokyo Fish Market Can supply most of your Japanese cooking needs; the seafood is fresh!

Best Japanese grocery store on the area. Offers really good quality of fresh seafood. Staffs are well trained and know what they are selling. Some other Japanese supermarket may have larger store, but when you look at the quality, it is hard to compare with this spot.Store is closed in Sunday so dont waste time coming over on Sunday.Parking is a bit difficult due to the room of it, anyone drives large car or are nervous making small turns in tight space should just park at the large lot where the Dollar tree locates behind the store. You can walk through small alley from the back.Good selection of Sake as well, may not have much varietal as Nijiya or Mitsuwa, but there are some rare stuffs on the shelf.

Great store: amazing fish and staff that is both very knowledgeable and friendly.

First time there. Good prices. Fresh fish.

The staff is so helpful and friendly and the selection of Asian food is wonderful!Their fish is one of the freshest I’ve had and perfect for sashimi or sushi.

This is THE place for fresh fish and japanese groceries!

Great price, many selections of the seafood and sashimi and nice staffs.

Sashimi fresh fish at its best

Great place for shopping Japanese stuff!

Tokyo Fish is doing an excellent job of following all covid regulations -- limiting the # of shoppers, sanitizing their carts & baskets, etc. Theres often a line waiting to get in, but it moves fairly quickly.

GREAT selection of fish awesome grocery store in general

I stopped by on a weekday and the parking lot was packed. Their selection of fish is fantastic and extremely fresh. The fellas behind the counter make such precise cuts. I got three different pieces of fish and every piece was the exact weight I requested down to the hundredth decimal place!

Good selection of ready to eat foods.....

Workers were helpful and friendly. it wasn’t just a fish market they had lots of stuff, like a standard asian market.

Super fresh sashimi at unbeatable prices. (as far as I know.)

Best japanese and sushi grade fish market in the East Bay. Just be ready for long lines right when they open. Recommend to show up 30min to one hour before opening to be the first in.

Great selection of Japanese foods, beautiful fresh fish thats sashimi grade. Not crowded when I went weekday morning.

Things were spot on. A lot of things from hawaii..

If you’re looking for an authentic Japanese or hawaiian food store in the east bay look no further than tokyo fish market. They had all the normal go tos like rice, soba, sake, etc but they also had a great selection of fresh fish. If you’re hawaiian like me and looking for some local product they also have Portuguese sausage, island tea, guava and lilikoi jam etc.

Only allow 15 people into the small market. I waited about 45 min to get inside the market. A good variety of sashimi grade fish and non-sashimi grade fish to choose from.

Great fresh seafood.

Doesnt take EBT
