J Mart

Place smells funny when you walk in but they have everything you need for Japanese cooking.

I love shopping at this store for the nice selection of quality, Japanese foods. The merchant is friendly, professional and always helpful. The store is clean and neat.
I want to note that I wish the parking lot was kept cleaner. It doesn't help the all of merchants since that is the first and last thing seen.

Good selection of snacks. They have curry seasoning. Good selection of noddles. They have awesome rice cake snacks. This roll cake is amazing. It is light airy and fluffy. Its creamy and a great amount of sweetness. I will definitely always come back for this cake. 10/10

Always drove by so I decided to stop by the other day. They have some cool stuff in there, (including UCC coffee!, my fav) The cashier was very friendly and helpful!

Very friendly and helpful! The man working helped me pick out the dashi for a recipe I want to make. He read through the recipe before making a recommendation. I appreciate the the time he took. Also the store is clean and well organized.
I would recommend J Mart and I’ll be back!

This is a cozy Japanese food shop. I stop by once in while since I can find always interesting things and products you cannot find in Ichiban Japanese Market. Sometimes price is set little bid higher than Ichiban, but you can have you cannot find things at Ichiban you can find here.

Absolutely love this store. I couldn't find a bamboo wisk for my matcha tea anywhere else but here. Despite the size of the store I'm always surprised with what I find there. They had snacks from home I hadn't seen anywhere else except in Japan. And the ingredients although few in variety are always
of good quality. The owner or manager is super friendly and helpful. I couldn't be happier to have found such a gem.

J Mart is a small Japanese mini mart that offers sauces, seasonings, ready-to-eat packets, fresh and frozen ingredients, rice cookers, assorted candy, various gift items, and sake.

The place is small and cute, and I enjoyed checking out their huge tub of Japanese curry, their frozen croquettes, and their aesthetically-pleasing bottles of sake.

We bought a couple of snacks to try out; we noticed that even though this wasn't a chain or anything the prices were actually comparable, if not slightly cheaper!

I'd love to see more of a selection of candies and snacks, though, as I know there

The staff is awesome! They have helped me with recipes and even travel plans. The stock can be revolving, but I always find what I want. Clean store, open layout, helpful staff. The prices are equal to most of the Asian markets in the area. Small store, but great variety.

Amazing place! They have everything you need to throw your own sushi party and then some. Staff is super helpful, and you can special order if needed. This is my 1 stop shop for everything sushi! You guys rock!

Love to stop in when we're in Virginia Beach. Great customer service, lots of wonderful stuff.

It's always a very pleasant experience to visit JMart because the staff is extremely friendly and helpful (in both Japanese and English). The store prides itself on carrying a well-rounded selection of authentic Japanese groceries and other items.

Quiet little shop. Having been stationed overseas I acquired a love of Asian cuisine. When my wife and myself PCS'ed here, we were looking around as it's hard to find a quality specialty shop.

This place had all we wanted and a little more. If you need something special they can sometimes help you out with a special order. The clerks that work there are very friendly and always willing to help out. They're also bi-lingual which helps out as you get locals and then you get native japanese speakers there as well shopping.

We plan on giving this place more of our business.

So quaint! I loved this place the moment I walked in. It's been here for 10 years, and for good reason. Genuine Japanese charm and food products. Teas, coffees, sodas, alcohol, fish, gyoza, noodles, rice, seasoning, curry, tableware, bread, and so much more. The owner (I assume) kindly greeted me and helped me with all my questions. He gave great recommendations and after paying he kindly thanked me in Japanese. It was hard not going crazy buying everything there. If you love Japan and its culture, you will love this place. Can't wait to go back!

This is is very small, like the size of a guest bedroom. I came here specifically for seaweed salad. I spent a lot considering how small the container was, I think I spent around $9. It lasted me about 3 days since I like to eat it with main dishes however I thought the store itself was nice, it was pretty pricey though and hope their getting enough business.

Great little grocery store in central Virginia Beach! It's in a little shopping center right off of Va Beach Blvd and Aragona, easy to find/get to and a good amount of parking. As other reviewers have said, it IS small. But the great thing is, they've managed to pack a whole lot into the small space, so you'll be able to find a lot of things you may be looking for.

I personally wasn't looking for anything specific, just went to browse around. They have refrigerated and freezers on the right side (with gyoza, frozen seafood, frozen apps), condiments and sauces towards the back

I love being able to get my favorite Japanese goodies here that aren't available at my local groceries

Very simple ambience. Polite and welcoming staff. There isn't a lot of selection but you're sure to get he basic Japanese stuff you'll need. It is a tiny and tidy store that is very convenient to find.

Friendly staff and great selection for such a small store. I would be out to visit more if it weren't so far from home, but it is worth the drive from Suffolk when I get the chance. :)

I like this place. They have shelf - stable and cold milk coffees, cute yet random gift items, household items, frozen delights, lots of DVDs, etc. With a few more flavors of Pocky, I could love this place.

It is small! But the first thing I noticed upon entrance was how delightful it smelled in here. Like fresh laundry! It is small as far as groceries go, but they have all of the essentials. Spices, oils, tons of noodles, harder to locate produce like lotus root and mushrooms. Lots of cool bath products and stuff, not the trinkets and junk you usually see. I found exactly what I was looking for, udon noodles that weren't frozen. And my cashier was helpful and cute, he bowed to me a few times!

Small shop with a good selection of high-quality merchandise and snacks. Friendly staff and easy parking. Found everything I wanted and then some!

I feel a little bad rating this shop so low because it seemed so sincere, but I can't justify higher. Like Tiffany L. wrote, this place is small... like, the size of my living room small (no exaggeration). They do have some random Japanese stuff that is probably unique (candies, vey limited pastries on my visit, random asian DVDs), but a lot of what they did have I could get at any other asian market nearby--and likely for a little cheaper. They had a regular refrigerator filled with something...I was a little scared to open it since there wasn't much of a sign on the front saying it

I enjoyed visiting this store but I went in with high hopes but it was a small store with mostly the same things I could get from most Asian markets. Wish they had more items from Japan you can't get locally. But friendly employee so if I am in the area I will definitely come back to check it out.

I was excited to have found this place since I miss being home and eating all the foods that I'm used to. They do have quite a bit of stuff ranging from snacks to dried foods to magazines, frozen foods etc etc.. But... I've only been there 3 times in total; 1 time because I was looking for something in particular but they didn't have. The reason to why I've been there so little times is that the people come off as very unfriendly and stuck up. I even bumped into them at a completely different place and they were still unfriendly and stuck up. No matter how smiley and happy

It's a really, really, small grocery store, and maybe this review is biased a little since my friend's family owns it, but it really is nice!

I mainly go here for the baked goods, which they get from Bread Garden in newport news (a korean bakery). If they have it, buy the korean cheesecake, soooooooo good. It's not like an american cheesecake, or a french cheesecake, or even a japanese cheesecake. It really is it's own category, like if a pound cake and a sponge cake had a baby, and then that baby had a baby with a cheesecake. BOOM, there's my baby, my korean cheesecake
