Konbiniya Japan Centre

Worst service ever. Stopped to get an ice cream at the outside window and after paying for it and the money coming out of my account I was asked if I paid for it. There was some sort of malfunction in the printer of the Interac machine. I was made to wait and asked if we could just get our cones and be on our way and was completely ignored with one employee showing only their back to me and the other completely ignoring me. Never will stop there again.

If you are Chinese, then please don't come shop in this kind of japanese convenience store lol because in general they are over priced and japanese are well known to look down/treat chinese worse than white/western people in general. So yeah let's not spend money to feed them and let the white do the feeding instead because in the end they look up to the white/western people anyway lol. And also, every money you spent here will make they feel more arrogant and look down more on you guys chinese people lol.

Got a lemon and sugar crepe was stone cold and tasted like play doh. Also it wasn’t delivered I stood there while it was being made. Was very undercooked

One of my favorite store, they guve you a Japanese grocery store vibe. There are gachapon machines that change the things inside all the time. Also my favorite crepe in front of the store

Awesome condensed selection of household and beauty products, grocery, and convenience foods. Lovely service and staff. I would reccomend popping in if you are in the area or looking for specifically Japanese products!

There sell various japanese foods, snacks, drinks, candies, seasonings, cosmetics, skin care etc. When you like Japanese products, I'm pretty sure there are a lot of products that you will be interested into. The price is also reasonable.

There is also a crepe and ice cream shop inside this site. A very interesting place to browse and buy Japanese products. Will definitely go back?

Got the 4 ice creams, 3 vanilla, a maccha
Taste is spoiled milk (old milk taste), didn’t eat them.
Might be the ingredients are poor quality or expired.
Not happy at all.

Amazing service and products that are very hard to come by in Canada. Makes you feel like you're in a Japaness Konbini. Wish more of their in store inventory would ship to other provinces but i know its not simple logistics to managd

First time in bc with the family, and I came by at least 3 days straight. They have a vast choice of Japanese good, drinks, ready to eat food, crepes and ice-cream!

Well I m not going to repeat what other customer mention, it’s right on the spot.

Drop by to get some snacks and other good!

You won’t regret

This is one of my favourite stores. I just have a bad habit of playing the toy slots until i get the toy I want and it sure adds up

If you're a fan of Rushia and are trying to find puchi pastel I couldn't find any. Maybe they're hidden somewhere in the back. Maybe I should drop by the next comiket for vtuber doujins. The ramune they sold tasted pretty good, goes well with the great instant noodles. I bought the tonkotsu

If you are looking for some Japanese skincare products, snacks and cooking ingredients, this is the place for you!
The strawberry cheesecake crepe is a bit too much for 1 but probably good for sharing. Takoyaki is ok.
Good service

What a little gem on Robson St! Love stopping by for snacks, chips, candies and drinks. A lot of authentic goodies, though they can get expensive.

I like stopping by for their desserts too! You can order at Bon Crepe inside at the cash register or at their window. The soft serve ice cream is $3.99. I got the matcha twist with vanilla. The matcha flavor was very good. The seasonal ice cream flavor when I went was yuzu.

It is a Japanese stores which also sell Korean stuff. Every thing from small snacks, drinks, milks, foods, etc. The prices rae moderate, not too cheap.

Such a fun and convenient store. The owner is so kind, and there is a crepe shop attached to it. They also have a corner of gacha machines upon entering and the selection was not bad. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit!

Funky little store with a bunch of fun asian treats to try!
Gotta grab some matcha poky when you stop by!
Their daily features on the left sode fridge are a great meal replacement that has saved me on several ocasions I did not bring lunch to work

This is my favorite spot for Asian snacks and candy. Ive been coming here for years. Growing up we used to call it the POCKY store.
They carry a vast selection of everything. Asian chips asian candy asian cookies asian coffee and soda and of course POCKY!
They carry asian health and beauty products as well as kitchenware.
More recently they have put in place a dessert window which serves dessert crepes and some really great soft serve.
The best part is they are open late everyday. Best spot for asian snacks period!

Authentic Japanese convenience store. Stocked with onigiri (they have a microwave to heat them up), frozen ramen (ranging in price from $11-$13, includes the chashu and broth. Heat it up, and it's ready to eat). Loads of authentic Japanese snacks, sauces, candy, and even soft serve ice cream. From the outside, you can even order sweet or savory crepes which are popular in Japan. Everyone working there speaks Japanese. It felt like I was actually in Japan!

They have a good line up of Japanese grocery. Make sure to check their FB site for sales and discount info.

Everything you need, and all the thing you want to discover. Friendly staff, fresh onigiris daily!

Browse for awhile in this shop. Lots of cool Japanese products you will only find here it Fujiya. Sugar paradise for kids so beware. Definitely worth a visit if you can't make it to Japan but it may encourage you to do so!

My go-to shop for all my Japanese food cravings. They pretty much have everything and more than what I can hope for. It’s got the Japanese convenience store vibes, having snacks, ramen, frozen food sections, a lot of condiments, even cosmetics, and it’s own crepe/ice cream stand as well!
Definitely the most authentic selection anywhere around here.

Reasonably priced, exclusively imported from Japan right in the heart of Downtown Vancouver. Konbiniya has been a haven for rare treats, and Japanese eats for years, and for good reasons. Their selection is incredible, and you'll always find something new in store. Their hours are also good, but I wish they were still open until 2AM.on the weekends.

A great variety of japanese products and excellent yuzu Ice Cream but the prices are sometimes too high in comparison to Japan (and even to Montreal).

The best place in downtown Vancouver to get some Japanese snacks. We always pick up the Caplico Sticks here as they are reasonably priced compared to other places. These are wafer like snacks in the shape of ice cream cones and are a favourite of our kids.

There is also a small window outside the store that sells matcha ice cream. I haven’t personally tried it but I always see people ordering it.

When you've come back from Japan and are craving onigiri and all those amazing snacks, this is the place to go.

Lots of selection of great sweets, treats and things to eat, and a helpful staff that work hard go hand in hand to make this a great option for those downtown. In the area!

Pricing is high due to import fees and such but other than that I love just walking around inside. Grab a matcha ice cream though, those are delicious.

It's a Japanese convenience store! I mean. There's not as many meals you can easily pick up as I'd like, but it's a nice place overall. The prices are a little high and not particularly all that filling, but god the things here are incredibly tasty.

Good selection of Japanese and Asian goods in the heart of Robson Street. Somewhat surplanted in the last decade with the rise of Chinese origin goods from T &T and superstore, but Konbinya still offers more Japanese goods.

Those in another will remember the tape rental, which has been surplanted by a small travel agency desk, but this shows that Konbinya does what it can and keeps on going.

Things to note, the sales it has up front and central normally has expired or soon to expired goods they are pushing. Prices are higher, but of course provenance of the goods can be considered here too.

Good selection If alternatives are not out of the way for you, be aware of pricing. While some items are very competitively priced, there are also others which are a bit more expensive than other shops. Cashiers here are very efficient though! Overall a gem on Robson.

Loved the tuna onigiri that they have! A great place if you want some genuine japanese snacks and ingredients for meals.the gacha machines at the front are cute too!
