Takahashi MarketB+

221 S Claremont St, San Mateo, CA 94401 · Asian grocery store, Grocery store, Hawaiian restaurant · San Mateo

Beloved Japanese-Hawaiian market-deli with standout musubi, poke, and plate lunches; small space, limited parking, and occasional sell-outs—arrive early for best selection.

The verdict

Takahashi Market delivers exceptional food quality with standout musubi and fresh poke that drive strong loyalty and repeat visits. Friendly, efficient service and reasonable value support solid neighborhood appeal, but tight seating and parking constraints combined with occasional consistency variations in fillings prevent grade A territory. This is a beloved local gem that excels at what it does—casual, quality Hawaiian-Japanese comfort food—without pretension.

One caveat: Parking is tight; small lot often full and maneuvering is tricky
