My fav go to spot for an affordable, delicious and quick meal. They sell a variety of Japanese lunches, sushi rolls, sashimis, onigiris, sandos and more. There's no service here since it's all to go. Grab a post meal snack or beverage or even get some groceries while you're at it. I had me the California roll with salmon and a small salmon sashimi platter for only $15. Decent quality of fish and hits the spot.
I have been coming here for a long while now and the food has always impressed me. Whenever I come back from Japan on summer breaks and craving for Japanese food, I typically come here for the food. The variety of food is very reminiscent of the supermarkets I would go to.
So good I come here all the time to bye it. I wish I could come here everyday service is great and food is awesome store is spectacular
Friendliest staff ever! My friend dropped his sushi and the staff said it's ok and told him to grab a new one. He also gave my friend a 20% off!! Although the cleanliness of the deli is not on point, the food there is pretty delicious! Definitely have to try the cream crab croquette, it's very unique and can't get it anywhere. The ramen is slightly oily but still pretty good. I will definitely come back for the food here!!
Great place to pickup some food to go or even to eat on site. They have a big selection of sushi and rolls as well as a counter to order hot foods. We usually like to grab some rolls, udon, curry and croquettes. Everything is tasty and very reasonably priced.
Nijiya Deli is the perfect solution for when you're craving Japanese food but not craving the usual Japanese food prices! I've found that Nijiya is a total Marugame Udon dupe in terms of PRICING except it's WAY more accessible - I'm not trying to drive out to SF (or fly to LA or Honolulu) every time I get an udon craving. My go-to at Marugame is the Niku Udon, which they have at Nijiya for the BEAUTIFUL price of $6.50. Granted, the quality of the beef isn't as consistently good as Marugame's, but it does the trick. They also have a self-serve toppings bar for your green onions, seaweed, etc. THE VALUE CANNOT BE BEAT. Other memorable menu items are the freshly-fried chicken karaage & fried octopus and the wakame salad. Again, everything is super reasonably priced! The only thing is if you're eating on-site, a lot of times the tables are dirty and there isn't anyone consistently coming around to clean it. Not a huge deal - you can just take it to-go if need be!
Nijiya Deli serves quick hot food without hurting the piggy bank. Every penny counts these days. Recently, the price has increase. It must be the minimum wage increase of $15. Never the less, still a good deal. Food price range from $5-$10. You can't go wrong with any of the food. The ramen is pretty decent for a deli, comes with a egg, and few slices of pork. The curry is always a winner. Udon and soba is always a solid choice. You can always count on the quick service. That's what I like about this place. Sometimes you just want a quick cheap meal that satisfy the belly.
Nijiya Deli is located inside of the Nijiya Market. Found this little gem by driving inside the plaza and decided to check out the market. The deli is to your left when you first enter the market. They have a seating area and self-serve water. At the deli, they have a refrigerated section filled with grab and go bento boxes, a section for some fried goodies under some heat lamps and a section where you can order some ramen, udon and curry. I ordered the Nijiya ramen and crab cheese croquette. It's pretty affordable. When you pick up your food, they have a section where you can add as much green onion, chili powder, bonito flakes and I forgot what else. I though the ramen was ok. I enjoyed the crab cheese croquette! I just wished it was fresh. I'm sure it would taste a lot better. Anyways, I'm giving 4 stars for the deli overall. I do want to come back to try the other foods.
