Marukai Market West LA

Great selection of prepared meals, lovely choices on Japanese ingredients for cooking, and lots of available Don Quijote stuff. Meats are especially cheap here compared to supermarkets or even 99 ranch markets! Selections are almost exclusively Japanese stuff though. Plenty of parking in the back, and the security guy was very nice.

Asian foreign products are excellent if you want a a little piece of China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and more. The sushi is fresh every day delivered from 10:00am to 12:00pm. Gallon of water only $0.99c come and check it out yourself.

Absolutely love hitting up Marukai whenever I’m in LA. Everything about this store is amazing; the layout, the products, the prices, the bathroom, the microwave, the drawings, the product descriptions and most importantly the people! Everyone that works there is so kind!

this place is amazing! it has all these great stuff and gives such authentic japanese vibes!!! i can’t believe i haven’t been here during my 8 years in la. the only thing is that it’s right next to a very busy intersection so getting out of the parking lot can be a little awkward.

It was my first time here at Marukais, honestly. The food here is superb. From the prepaid meal kits, to the sushi(Korean and Japanese), to poke, to the Asian beers and sake. Prices were better than the leading super markets, and parking was readily available. Very glad I found this place, which is not obvious, since I've been going to the Taco Bell next door for years. You should absolutely give this place a try. They also have produce, snacks, drinks, nick nacs, and more.

​I love this market! Ive been focusing on a healthier diet lately and this place has become my essential stop for a lot of ingredients. I visited on a Tuesday and loved how quiet and calm the atmosphere was. Everything is well-organized. When I couldn't locate an item, a staff member was immediately available, incredibly nice, and knew exactly where it was. I really appreciate that most products are in English, which is a huge help when exploring new ingredients. ​Using the selection here for my meal prepping has been a game-changer. By focusing on the fresh fish and Asian vegetables (like baby bok choy and green peas), I've been able to maintain a calorie deficit and have personally lost over 25 lbs. This market makes finding essential, high-quality, and flavorful items for a healthy diet easy and exciting. I love using AI to research new ingredients or cooking methods I find here to make sure I'm using them traditionally and getting the most flavor. Since I bike here, I avoid most of the local congestion, but car drivers should be aware of the heavy traffic in the area (near Santa Monica College). ​Overall it’s a calm, well-stocked, and essential market for anyone interested in Japanese food, whether you're a seasoned chef or on a health and fitness journey like me. I always find something new and exciting to try.

Simply very professional, helpful and courteous staff and provide a very diverse range of selection related to the kitchen. Including utensils, dishware appliances, fresh and frozen food products to ready made Japanese meals. For a medium size space, I'm impressed. Peace on earth
