Tokyo Central: Irvine

Tokyo Central Irvine, which opened in July 2025, is located in the Walnut Village Center and serves as a significant hub for Japanese groceries and lifestyle products. This 17,368-square-foot store features a modern layout designed for an efficient shopping experience, providing a wide range of imported goods from Japan. The facility is well-organized and stocked, offering everything from fresh produce to specialty health and beauty items, making it a comprehensive destination for the local community.

The supermarket is particularly noted for its extensive prepared foods section, which includes a high-volume hot buffet, a variety of grab-and-go bento boxes, and fresh sushi made daily. Shoppers frequently praise the quality of the egg salad sando from the integrated Mammoth Bakery and the diverse selection of ramen topping kits. The seafood and meat departments provide premium options, including sashimi-grade fish and high-quality cuts suitable for traditional Japanese dishes like shabu-shabu.

Beyond food, Tokyo Central is the exclusive U.S. retailer for Jonetz products, the private brand of Japan’s Don Quijote. The aisles are filled with unique snacks, premium rice varieties, and a well-curated selection of Japanese teas and sake. With its clean environment and fast checkout process, this location has quickly become a favorite for those seeking authentic Japanese ingredients and a taste of Japanese culture in Orange County.
