“ Great spot to get some authentically Japanese, home-cooked food by the management staff. The menu rotates daily, so it's a great way to try new dishes that are prepared fresh from the kitchen. Bear in mind that are much more options on Saturday and Sunday, but make sure to get there early, since some items tend to run out quickly. Definitely the most authentic Japanese place to be found in Houston, next to the restaurant Izakaya-Wa (which is nearby in River Oaks). Very clean, modern and new. I hope this place stays in business for many more years to come, great business. ”
“ Seiwa Market holds a special place in my heart. I love coming here for their prepackaged meals, fresh sushi, and groceries... especially if I'm trying to cook Japanese food at home. It's a small and cute little market but it honestly has everything you need for cooking Japanese food at home. Good selection of fresh sashimi, meats, and fish for cooking. They sell good quality produce as well. Lots of unique Japanese snacks and sweets too if you're into that. I am a fan of the packaged bento boxes and other ready to eat meals such as their hamburger steaks, curry, and sushi rolls. Be sure to come early in the day if you're trying to grab lunch here as they do tend to sell out pretty quickly! ”
“ This has to be my favorite semi-lowkey Japanese store for fresh sashimi and other foods! Inside the store is a lot smaller than expected but they have the best goodies! In the refrigerated section, you will find an assortment of foods and treats ranging from donburi bowls, onigiris, makis, tonkatsu, cream puffs, and even pre-made gourmet ramen bowls! It's definitely difficult not to buy everything, and it is all super affordable and high quality! All of the workers are so lovely and nice. They are always cranking fresh sushi in the morning. The person at the cash register will always try to make small talk, and they're super quick with scanning and bagging. This place is my favorite to go to for fresh sashimi and other Japanese goods. If you want all of the goodies, go early in the morning! ”
“ - for the longest time, I've been wanting to come to seiwa, but it's so so far away from me. however, today I had to be somewhere close by and have some time to spare! - there is a variety of premade food that customers can choose from. They have a microwave & an area for customers to sit and eat the food they buy!! - i loved every single bite! it doesn't seem like a regular takeout bowl from a grocery store - the quality of the salmon and rice was there! so yummy i wish i lived closer to here. ”
“ My favorite Japanese grocery store!! Love their sushi, snacks, drinks... basically everything in the store. My sister and I visited seiwa a little over a week after the storm, but when we went, their refrigerated sections were practically wiped out as they were without power for days. They had some sushi though, which was great bc that's one of the primary reasons why I go. The sushi is sold at a very reasonable price, and the quality is pretty darn good and fresh! Tried out the yellowtail nigiri- it had a lightly fatty and buttery texture which was divine. Tuna temaki had a generous amount of filling, and I really enjoyed it. Try to visit before evening time before most of the sushi is gone. They have seating near the sushi section where the cafe used to be. I miss the cafe so much because they used to serve udon and all kinds of dishes before the pandemic. It is what it is. As for the matcha powder section, they didn't have anything that was appealing to me but still check it out and see the selection they have. Plenty of parking and the crowd is dependent on the time you go. Usually it's chill! ”
“ Seiwa Market is pretty quality. Food is always above average and the variety of hot food is good when there is still availability (if you get there after 2pm, you'll have slim pickings). I like the little Katsu sando with some kewpie Mayo. AND they used to have this super basic spaghetti that was hard to put down. Please bring back the spaghetti. Meats are good but expensive. I wonder if the prices will stay high now that Ranch 99 is around the corner. There is another VERY nice "thing" about this place.... Not sure if I should say.... Just go to Seiwa and look around. Keep your eyes open. You'll see it. ”
“ Great Japanese store in Houston! If you like buying natto this is a go to place! :) Products are always fresh and just amazing! Keep up with the work! :) ”
