Sakura-Ya

Lovely Japanese store with candy/snacks, ready to eat food, drinks, groceries, and household items, etc... a little bit of everything is available here. I especially enjoyed going in on a random Saturday and there was milk tea tasting that started at 11am. If you're local, you can see a sign in their storefront for any scheduled events at their shop. I bought chocolate and coffee candies as gifts. Ten dollar minimum to pay by card.

This place is amazing. I used to live closer to Flushing and that was my go-to spot for all my necessities I can get from an Asian market. Now this one is a game changer. I will continue to shop here at least weekly. Especially with those ready to-go meals.

The most perfect hidden treasure in Forest Hills. During the summer I came here a lot since I was just always walking around the area. The staff are friendly, and they have a kitchen where they make ready to go food that's actually great quality. My sister loves the octopus balls and I love the chicken teriyaki onigiri and this packaged soft bread that is $1 I believe, that's right next to the hot food. Love this place so much I hope to come again soon

Over charged me twice within one month!!Once is forgivable but not twice in such a short time frame! What the F is going on?? Hate to find out when I got home recording the receipt that they scanned same item twice to double the price! It’s not just a few cents, but dollars that I could’ve used to buy a hot bento. While I was busy packing my stuff because the staff doesn’t pack for you anymore, I didn’t watch the cashier scanning goods. Being a customer who shopped there for more than a decade and almost two, this is very upsetting. You have lost my long time trust! I loved what the store used to be… After the store moved, I’ve found the staff has focused more on ready-to-eat items which I think may have higher margin. I guess they want to push grocery shoppers away and just focus on the crowds who mainly shop ready-to-eat. Ok, got it, I’ll rely on other grocery delivery services more going forward. Time to say bye after more a decade long relationship!

Got the mackerel bento box, chicken katsu curry box, tamago, and a mix of onigiris. LOVED the bentos and shrimp tempura onigiri — I haven’t tried the others yet but will update when I do! The rice in the onigiri was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Ate at the park on a sunny day and it was amazing. They have yummy Japanese snacks and much more fun stuff! Not many Japanese markets in Queens serving their selection of hot foods so I’ll definitely come back!! 😊

Great place to pickup lunch or so.e Japanese goodies to bring home. The Salmon bento, Chicken Katsu sandwich and the kale noodles bowl are my go-tos. Good classic sushi 🍣 as well.

Small japanese grocery store that carries a bit of everything. Nice gem in the neighborhood. I come here for their ready made meals for a quick and convenient lunch. They have since expanded and moved across the street next to SS natural market. The new location is much bigger and has a larger variety of items and produce.

Hidden small haven from Japan in heart of Forest Hills . You can find there everything from ready to eat food frozen food spices deserts kitchen supplies vegetables to skin care most from Japan.
