Pretty good classic Japanese. The grocery is amazing for indianapolis - lots of stuff that I never thought I would see in Indy.
No ramen so kinda sad but the udon and sushi is pretty good.
The thing that makes this 4 star solid is the people. They were very nice and friendly and the service was pretty prompt (Tuesday evening for perspective).
I will probably come back at least once more for a meal - I will definately come back for the groceries.
SUSHI!!! Oh sushi, how I've missed you. Also, you carry Takenoko No Sato, my favorite Japanese candy/cookie/chocolatey goodness.
Sushi was decently priced (especially for being out here in Indiana) and decent. We had a Spicy Tuna, California and one with some spicy scallops on it (the name escapes me). They were all just fine by me.
I was really into the grocery section. All the ramen, and fun things I miss about asian markets on the west coast , were for the most part slammed into this little store. It's decidedly more of a japanese grocery, though they do carry some other things here.
On my last trip here i picked up some toasted sesame seeds, ponzu sauce and sweet potato starch noodles. I wish I would have gotten more.
ArigatÅ, One World Market.
I walked into this place not totally knowing what to expect. I knew there was another World Market (totally different) that sold furniture, but who knows. This is the One Market of the World...
Anyway. I realize before walking in that it might be a Japanese grocery store, but I also quickly mentally noted that it's smack in the middle of Castleton... So it can't be that unfamiliar in a totally uncomfortable way. And it wasn't. At all.
I wasn't looking for anything in particular. Rather, I was just looking. And nobody made me feel uncomfortable as the person who has no idea where she is and shouldn't be there. I picked up a few random items. I didn't know what any of this was, but I managed to pick up several things that looked good, even if I didn't know what they were.
I noticed that there was an area to sit and eat, and you could order hot meals at the counter. I would love to go back and try this. I was actually waiting to have glasses made, so I had to get back. I picked up some sushi and a couple packaged items.
The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely go back.
Like a mini-Mitsuwa, this place rocks nothing but Japanese grocery/specialty items. The selection is very nice and can quickly take care of any needs. Even the needs of Japanese living here in Indy, like my wife. My mother-in-law even came here and found things she has difficulty finding in grocery stores in Japan.
The food is divine. Mainly Japanese comfort food (Udon, katsu, donburi) and fresh fish for some incredible sushi. They often have the fattier cuts of tuna that are nearly impossible to find, even in Japan.
One World has an outstanding selection of Japanese foods, fresh, frozen and packaged. Â The staff is friendly and responsive. Â Their fresh seafood is the best in both selection and freshness. Â My first experience with hamachi kama was with a piece bought here and grilled at home over charcoal - delicious. Â If you are at all interested in having the best Japanese food to take home, this is by far the best place in central Indiana by far!
Review Source:"Konnichiwa. Hajimemashite." The delightful greetings and bows welcome you as you walk in the door.
On Saturdays, I get out of work at 3:30pm where it's the 3-5pm break for many restaurants. Sometimes, I need to grab a small snack or meal to cushion that time before dinner because I'm literally starving. Luckily, One World Market's mini cafe inside the marketplace (full of other Japanese goodies and staples for DIY meals at home) is here to save the day!
Every time I go in there, I say I'll order udon noodles. I swear I'll get that someday. I'm sure everything they have is fabulous, but once I see the daily lunch special sitting on the counter or that expansive menu board, I end up getting something with raw fish. Good way to get the Omega-3s like the doc recommends. Today was no exception, I got a lovely giant tuna roll which came with a side of miso soup. As always, it's neatly presented on a plastic plate and the fish is super fresh. Sometimes it's still alive and likes to roll away. Just kidding. The miso soup isn't watered down and season-less like some places. It has large flakes of seaweed and small cubes of tofu in it. It comes out steaming hot, not lukewarm like other places. For about $10, no gratuity needed, I can get my quick, homey, healthy meal fix.
It's a Japanese bodega with dine-in and carry-out food. Not Korean, not Chinese-- and you can get them down the street. The staff speaks Japanese.... all of them, so far as I can tell. They have a plentiful variety of Japanese favorites, including meats, fish, frozen foods, even cosmetics and drinks.
There's also a strange restaurant business going, as described well in other reviews of One World Market. The strangeness comes from the fact it has a really small seating area. This is a better to-go place. However, I waited 10min for a table today, and for $8.95 had tempura (a very tasty prawn), udon, and a sushi "bowl" with shrimp and plentiful salmon over rice. It was delicious. I've also had sushi combos in the past, and they're very good, and not a kiosk at Kroger.
The food stuffs are pricey, but this isn't unusual. Many products have sufficient English descriptions that you can make them out. I buy miso, frozen noodles, and especially seaweed here. It's all high quality, and much different than other Asian markets in its loyalty to all things Japanese. There are better deals on many items elsewhere, so shop around. But I like this place; it makes me feel like I'm back in Yokohama for a visit.
actually, make that a 4.5 star rating. wouldnt bump it up to 5 though, because for that price point, i've had better (unbelievable, but true!)
this place deserves high, high rankings because 1) its affordable 2) they are flexible with what you like/dislike and 3) the food is freakin fresh and authentic.
i love that you can go over to the sashimi counter, pick out the piece of fish you want, and then hand it to them to slice it for you. that way, you get exactly what you want-- level of fattiness, cut, etc.
my bf had the tempura udon. alrighhhht. tempura is decently crispy, a little heavy on the batter (good tempura should be snowflake light and delicate) but for midwest standards, it was good. not to mention price-wise. udon had bite, but the soup base tasted like it was out of the bottle.. meh. kinda like the type you use to dip your tempura in.
i had the ikura and sake sashimi bowl. they were very generous with the ikura, which was wonderfully fresh. loved that they lightly seasoned their rice, and didnt have a ginormous portion of rice. shisho leaf and pickles balanced out the dish nicely.
so give this place a try. i've been so sore over losing ajishin (in novi; unbelievable place) ever since i've moved to bloomington but i think this place will help me ease my pain.
I didn't give this store 5 star because its a little bit small and limited dishes. However, the foods they served is all the best. You should take your dishes by yourself as tip free.
I can say this place is clean, nice and good price.  But  I don't think the cashers had nice attitude every time ... but I can understand them.. un... a lot of things they need to do ha..
Actually, this is my favorite place for eat the japanese food in this city. Â Sashimi is nice and affordable. Â The staff can cuts sashimi for you as you like... Last month, Â I drove to this place every weekend for a Saturday lunch..
I love here !~ Â ; - )
This is not an international market. It is not an oriental market.
Yo. This place is legit Japanese.
When I left my beloved Bay Area, I thought I was doomed.
One World Market, you bring me back to my days of wandering to Japantown's Nijiya Marketplace. The food court is a nifty addition, although the pre-seating arrangements make it an odd dancearound during your busy weekends. The udon is overcooked, but your sushi makes up for it.
Now only if you made kick ass ramen. NO, I'll return to the Dojo in San Mateo for that.
My review comes with a caution: The food is probably good, but they didn't let me have any so I left disgruntled. Â If you go here plan to order at least 45 minutes before closing. Â I at least got the last discount pre-made sushi and that was pretty good.
I got to the store around 6 on a Sunday afternoon and was very happy to see it was a small but very clean and cute store with lots of goodies to look through. Â I wanted to shop and eat (both are in the same spot) so I decided to browse the isles before I put in my order. Â I come to the register at 6:30 and I am informed the kitchen is closed...I was super pissed because I had no idea and right before me this woman ordered food for her whole family. Â I found it very rude that they couldn't squeeze in one last dish or at least make it known somewhere that the kitchen closes early.
One World has been a family favorite since they opened. We have always shopped here for Japanese groceries and eaten many meals in their small eat-in area. High quality Japanese food at very inexpensive prices. We will miss this place, since we are moving out of state. Highly recommended.
Review Source:I suggested we visit this market over our go-to Asian market closer to our home. Asian goodies AND sushi for dinner? We were pumped!
Well..."One World" apparently means "One Country" -- Japanese. Not a deal breaker -- but we felt the selection was a bit narrow for our taste. Also One World was more expensive than other Asian grocery stores we are familiar with. Some things were a steal, though (tofu, for example).
Anyway we're cheap and so we didn't buy anything from the market area.
However, we did order dinner. I had the Shrimp Tempura Udon combo with a California roll. The soup was mighty tasty, the shrimp tempura was decent....but the sushi roll was the sloppiest I've ever, ever had. For less than 9 bucks we felt it was a fairly good value, though. The food and atmosphere feels more like Japanese Fast Food instead of pricey sushi house, which my wallet surely welcomes once in a while.
My dining partner had a roll of Crab Sushi. It was better made than my CA roll, and it was pretty good. Not quite Ocean World quality...but again, it was a good value.
I think if we happen to find ourselves in Casteleton we'd probably go back for dinner -- but otherwise, I'll stick to cheaper Asian grocery stores, and better quality sushi restaurants.
We walked in just as they were closing and they informed us of such. It was the first time ever that I've just had an entire kitchen staff stare at me as I read a menu. Can't you just pretend to cook or clean something for a second?
I made a snap decision of the salmon and tuna sashimi and M went for the salmon salad.
My sashimi plate (actually more like don since it was served over sushi rice) was delicious. Good quality fish, and lots of it. M's salad was... not so much. Iceberg lettuce over warm rice (why??) with salmon sashimi on top and a ton of italian (again, why??) dressing. It was just a mess.
The seating area had perhaps the least ambiance of any place ever. Water dispenser, four tables, plastic silverware, and a microwave. Two really obnoxious families were sitting at the other tables and made it impossible to access the water or microwave so we just tried to eat quickly and get back on the road.
So... for takeout sushi it's definitely 4 stars. Minus one star for dining in, plus one star for being an awesome Asian grocery as well, and we're back at 4.
Making my annual pass thru Indy and this was the only decent Japanese place that looked open on a Sunday afternoon. Â What can I say, I heart Japanese markets and this one won mine over quickly. Â On such a hot day the Unaju lunch set special (Unagi donburi, oshinko, and miso) along with a bottle of pineapple Ramune soda pop seemed like the perfect lunch meal I was looking for. Â And so it was, perfect in every regard! Â I couldn't have asked for anything better and being so completely unexpected made it that much more. Â
I wish that One World Market would move to the Dallas area!
Gochiso sama deshita!
This place is awesome! Â I came here for lunch today and it was neat to find a place where you can get inexpensive japanese sushi!
Here is what I had:
Spicy Avocado Salmon Roll-
They didn't really have this on their menu but made it for me. Â It had raw salmon, avocado, cucumber, and spicy sauce (mild). Â It was perfect. Â 8 pieces for about 5 bucks.
Miso Soup-
Very nice and authentic tasting.
The cool thing about this place is that its a supermarket with asian goods, but you can order your food at the counter and take it (via a handy tray) to a small dining area. Â It's like McDonalds but for Japanese food! Â (Actually comparing it to McD's is kind of a discrace because there is no comparison in the food quality!... I liken it to McD's in that the service is fast!)
A+ Â I will def. go here again and again!
This place is a revelation! It's both a Japanese market and a diner-type restaurant. We ordered our food at the counter, then waited in a short line for one of the few tables. It was a busy Sunday afternoon. Once a table opened up they called our number and I brought our food back to the table. I got the beef udon soup which came with about 6 pieces of California roll. My SO got the pork cutlet. The food was terrific! It's quite inexpensive and a really great value in terms of both quantity and quality.
The others diners were sweet and chatty in line and the lady at the counter was nice too.
I found this on Yelp, so thanks yelp!
I can't wait to go back!!!
Small, but good stock for the size.  They make/serve sushi and other Japanese foods with a small seating area to the side.  Only vegetarian food served is veg sushi (normal variety), but you can order a custom roll with a check off sheet and get more interesting ingredients (it's huge too).  Last visit they were playing Heartsdales (<a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.last.fm%2Fmusic%2FHeartsdales&s=106cdfb9bcb3e93e7e1782229db561d74773a19f40b9d841cd43986351a16a19" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.last.fm/music…</a>) a girl Jrap group from early 2000's that I LOVE, so I am more pleased with this place than I had been.  I also found Korean Makgeolli there.  Due to it being conveniently placed in Castleton, it may be a little more pricey for some items, but that's how it is.
Review Source:This place is great! I can get everything I need to make shabu shabu in one spot. There is just about everything you can think of in terms of Japanese cooking. There are also tons of snacks. They even have my favorite chapstick, Shiseido's Water in Lip.
The little restaurant is also very tasty. I highly recommend the tempura combo - it's just as good as Tenya in Japan.
This place has been here for years and I had no idea what it was until my wife stumbled in there last summer (2011) looking for some "asian spices." No clue this was a *Japanese* market and lunch place. You would never suspect such a thing from the outside.
The food (Japanese) there is great and CHEAP. The people cooking in there know what they're doing, and they could charge more for what they serve and get it.
The decor is nothing fancy. It's basically a little market and a lunch place. Simple tables and chairs. But the food is great and cheap. Perfect for those Castleton jaunts.
This place was a diamond waiting to be discovered by my Japan-loving brain and taste buds. Like a one of the joints I used to frequent in Little Tokyo in Los Angeles. Thumbs up!
Excellent value sushi (made to order) and sashimi (pick from what's available in the store section, they prepare & serve). Limited menu, but good variety. Cafe seating has 10 or so tables, plastic ware, self service & no alcohol allowed. Beverages, desserts (ice cream, pastries, cookies) are all available in the grocery section, so you pay grocery prices (still not ultra cheap, as it's a small store, with imported goods, but less than typical restaurant).
If you like raw fish and/or Japanese food, you can't get a better bargain in Indy. Only the limited selection keeps it from 5 stars. if you like fancy restaurant service  this is not the place for you.
One World Market is like three operations in one:
1) Japanese / Asian grocery store. Very good selection, especially for Indianapolis.
2) Japanese takeout. Sushi, sashimi, udon, etc. The quality of the food is high and comparable to Sakura at significantly lower prices. Selection is very good and includes items like uni (sea urchin), giant clam, and sometimes toro (fatty tuna).
3) Japanese self-service diner. You can buy to takeout and eat it there. They'll supply chopsticks and some basic disposable plates, etc. They'll even cut whatever you buy and add some shredded turnip, etc. for free.
The service is very good, the staff is friendly and helpful. You get almost all of the sushi quicker and at lower prices. I cannot recommend this place enough.
I frequent here at least once per week for a quick authentic Japanese meal that is already prepared along with sushi and some green or Jasmine tea or coffee. I'm in and out in like 5 minutes and it is amazingly delicious and authentic. I will write more soon, for now I'll say Daisuki desu!!
Review Source:Pocky sticks are on sale!!!!
I love this little Japanese market. I have yet to try anything from their kitchen, but everything looks super tasty and pretty well priced. I usually stop in when I'm up north to grab a few things when we have a hankering for Japanese food. We watched a YouTube video on sukiyaki and just had to give it a try. Super easy to make and super tasty!--I'd like to thank YouTube for making me a better cook ^__^.
I must try the pan noodles and sushi next time I stop in. YUM!
Went here one afternoon with my roommate. I ordered 2 pieces of eel nigiri, 1 squid nigiri, and a Philly roll (salmon & cream cheese), total just over $11. She ordered an eel, egg, and onion over rice dish, miso soup, and selected a piece of salmon from the cold case for them to slice for her. My food really hit the spot...I had been craving sushi for weeks and am so glad I finally tried this place! I tried bites of her dish and ate about half of the miso soup...it was very good. I will definitely be back. The sushi was neatly made, fresh, tasty, staff was pleasant, and the price was definitely right.
Since you order at the counter then go sit down at one of their 8-10 tables, you'll also save on the tip. You can purchase a (non-alcoholic) drink in the market to have with your meal, or just drink the filtered water available. This little spot is in the same strip mall as Paradise Bakery (and the under-construction REI), kind of behind Pier 1.
I love Japanese markets. Pocky Sticks. The whole line up of Pocky Sticks. Wait, there's more. Much more. Sodas. Green tea ice cream. Fresh fish. Crazy crab candies.
Then it's a full on kitchen. I've been meaning to come here for over a year. Sushi on Saturday afternoons is perfect. If the fish is fresh. They find a way to make sure it's fresh here.
Everyone has already said terrific things about this place so read on for details.
I've been told before I walked in the door that this is the closest thing we'll find to Japan here, and it definitely felt like it once there. I've been to many of these markets around America, and I haven't seen one with a kitchen and dining area. If I lived much closer I would be here more often. I'll have to slate trips up that way around coming here.
This place is a small grocery store with a cozy section of tables used to serve the delicious smelling food. Upon walking into the shop, I could not help but take in the delicious smell of the food cooking. It smelled great, but I wasn't there to eat, but to check out what was available to buy.
Because it isn't a huge space, I imagine it is difficult to compete with some of the larger Asian markets around, but it has enough Japanese stuff to make it an essential stop for someone who loves the food. The selection of fish was also pretty excellent, and it just all looked so delicious. Aside from that, the store was very well kept and just spotless. It seems like the staff take great care of their shop, and it shows.
Three stars because I've yet to try any food (which I will do, and will update the rating accordingly), and because the selection is not as good as other stores, but it's still a great place to shop for the Asian in all of us.
Wow - I feel like I found a little slice of heaven in Indianapolis!!
This Japanese market has everything that you would want a Japanese market to have from yakisoba kits to housewares, One World Market has it all. Â The produce section was a touch small, but I was able to get some tasty treats that you don't find in regular grocery stores. Â And this grocery store was so clean that you could almost picnic on the floor. Â
To top it all off, the sashimi grade fish was incredible. Â I've been to many sushi restaurants in Indianapolis, but for quality of fish, OWM has them beat! Â The salmon was buttery and yellowtail was so perky!
After perusing the store for quite some time, this shopper was ready for lunch and OWM was happy to serve. Â Selection was a touch limited, either get some sushi, tonkatsu (fried pork), or noodles, but that's to be expected from a little lunch counter. Â And the people were so friendly!
I love this grocery store. I can buy almost Japanese items in this store. However, the biggest drawback of this place is the higher price. If you are looking sthg special, then you should buy it here like ice cream imported from Japan. But if you are not, maybe you can try other Asian store.
The store also makes luch and dinner and the last order for the day is 7 pm. The meal is awsome! I ordered Chirashi before, it was even better than some Japanese restaurants in  Indy. Not to mention it is cheaper but have to clean your own dishes!
This is one of the two Japanese places in Indy that is owned and run by Japanese. Â I've been to Japan several times and this place is very authentic. Â
They definitely do sushi right (best in town in my book) but don't be afraid to get the other dishes. Â All of them are just like you might find in a working class place in Japan. Â
They are also the only sushi place that I have been to in town that have fish with similar quality to the best places I have been in New York Or Los Angles.  It can be extra special if you go on Saturday.  They have their fish flown in especially for them on Friday and sometimes they have Toro  which is the  prized cut of the blue finned tuna fish.  It has a high fat content as it comes from a certain part of the fish's belly.  Their toro will be priced 1/10 of a typical sushi place.....if they have it.  This is the only place in Indy where I have successfully ordered it. Â
The staff is extra nice and will answer any culinary questions you might have. Â The attached grocery also has many Japanese ingredients that you will not find anywhere else in Indy. Â If they don't have what your looking for ask them. Â They have ordered in special items upon my request.
So since moving to Indy I have become a bit of a sushi addict. Â Maybe its I have forced myself out there a lot more, maybe its just my taste buds maturing, maybe it having a best friend that is Korean and another that is an Asian mix, but I am loving it and can now decipher good sushi from raw fish and rice. Â
One World Market is convenient for us to get to when the 5:30 craving hits and we want something that is not $15/roll.
I am addicted to the crunchy tuna and spicy salmon rolls, have been known to put away both in one sitting. Â
I am taking one star off for not being as good as the Diablo roll from Myagi and one becomes I am dumb-founded on how it takes so long to prep food that does not need to be cooked. Â If they could get me my rolls made fresh in under 10 minutes it would be a four star dining experience, and for a counter service place that says a lot!
Prices are great, sushi has never been sub-par and its across the street from where I live.
Related to Sea Ranch in Evanston, IL, originally from Chicago, that's how I found out about them first.
Best custom-made sushi rolls. order them all the time. tuna, eel, tempura shrimp, futomaki. all so so good. Prepackaged lunch boxes and super-duper-uber fresh BEAUTIFUL sushi-grade fish in the take away case to go, as well. Â
Shelves stock most japanese staples from Bull Dog Tonkatsu sauce to Kewpie mayo to dashi to soba noodles to tea. Â Freezer holds meat and gyozas fish cakes etc and fridge has Pocari and red bean cakes and miso and fresh japanese vegs.
Clean and bright store, lovely employees. Â So glad they are here.
I agree with the descriptions by previous reviewers. Â
This is a combination Japanese (not pan-Asian) grocery store and restaurant. There's a small dining area with some tables-for-2 and a couple tables-for-4. Â
You can shop for groceries: dry, packaged, fresh, refridgerated, or frozen. You can order a meal-prepared-to-your-order to eat-in or to carry-out. Â You can get pre-packaged fresh sushi/sashimi in the cellophane wrapped containers, or you can order sushi/sashimi freshly made to order.
This place is spotlessly clean, very neat, shiny, brightly lit, tidy and organized. Â Noticeably cleaner than most Asian grocery stores. Â The unisex restroom in the back was clean too.
I had the Gyu Don beef bowl, $7.95 plus tax. Â Thinly sliced beef and sauteed onions over short grain rice, and I think it was shredded ginger as the garnish. Excellent. Â The rice was perfect, and the flavors just right. Â It came with miso soup, which was also among the best I've had, and it had some ito wakame type seaweed in it, which I love.
Service was cheerful and friendly and they have that common Asian trait of being ultra-polite and having a deferential attitude that makes you feel respected and important.
They sell alcohol by the bottle in the grocery section, but you're not allowed to posess or open any alcohol in the dining area.
3.5- combination grocery store/eatery. Â These people must know Asian people.
The wife and I were checking out Linen's N Things close out sale, and happened to see this place a few doors down, so we decided to check it out. Â Sure we had just come from Asia Mart on 86th, but since we were in the area, why not.
As soon as we walked in, we saw that they also served food. Â Sushi, Udon, and some other Japanese favorites (unagi, tempura, katsu). Â As it turned out, we were starving, so we decided to grab some grub. Â We each got the shrimp tempura udon combo, which came with a california roll. Â We also ordered a spicy tuna roll. Â The food for the most part wasn't anything special, though it was cheap, so it served it's purpose.
On the grocery side, this place wasn't too huge, anf focused primarily on Japanese groceries. Â They had a sake section too, though it wasn't huge by any means. Â And a lot of items were only in Japanese, so if you dont' happen to know exactly what you're looking for, or speak the language, you're kinda screwed.
Overall- I think I'll continue going to Asia Mart for my Pan-Asian needs. Â If you're cooking Japanese though, I'm sure you'll find what you need here.
Chuck Norris Rating- Yojimbo throw
Like so many other hidden gems of Indianapolis, One World Market is almost unnoticeable in its Castleton strip-mall location. But it is most definitely worth a visit. Recently-returned exchange students to Japan, take heart: this will most surely be a satisfying taste of your home away from home. I didn't actually buy anything here, but not because I didn't want to: the tuna and salmon fillets were ruby red and seemingly as fresh as possible; the unusual Japanese produce was most tantalizing and they even have green tea ice cream. It's also fascinating to gape at the endless snacks from the sea: dried anchovies, dried hot squid, dried seaweed of all varieties, etc.
The women behind the counter were very kind and polite, and greeted me warmly both times I came in. I enjoy hearing any foreign language, so it was a treat to listen to them speak Japanese. There's also a selection of cookware and Japanese "souvenir"-like things near the entrance to the store.
