Happy Mini Mart

Working in downtown, we all have a spot within a few minutes walking distance to get a quick & easy bite. For me, that spot is Happy Mini Mart! Sometimes, I am sooo lazy and just want to walk a block for lunch, and Happy Mini Mart is a life saver!
Not only for lunch, but I often come here for a breakfast bento. Bentos are legit!
Prices are fair. Owners are Korean and their bentos have Korean influence: spicy pork, meat jun, fish jun, chap chae… Mix that in with your local foods – katsu, donburi, etc. They will also throw in a small serving of kimchi at your request!
Alas, not perfect here! No alcohol for sale! How can Koreans not sell alcohol?! =P
Pick up a morning musubi or swing by for a snack. Just come support this local business!

This mini mart is located across the post office on Richards street.
Definitely a fan here! They always have fresh made bentos, musubis, and all kinds of yummy goodies. Not super expensive like other places also!
I love coming here in the mornings to pick up some breakfast on my way to work. Never disappointed.

Tucked away across the street from the post office on Richards Street in downtown is where you will find Happy Mini Mart. A one stop shop where you can pick up a quick or last minute sundry item, snacks, drink or even lunch.
I stopped in to visit this mini mart the other day hoping to find myself my lunch. This place has an assortment of reasonably priced ready made breakfast and lunch bentos, sushi, donburi, musubi, fried noodles and gyoza.
I ended up buying a chicken and gyoza bento with white rice for $ 5.95. The portions are just right but I was disappointed that my two pieces of crispy gyoza ended up being very soggy. The chicken was chopped up in several small pieces which made it easy to eat but I found it to lack a bit in flavor.

while i was interning in downtown…
i found this lil gem…
they have yummy korean sushi rolls…
cheap breakfast and lunch…
the only downside is that i found it towards the end :(
i miss it…
enought to trek it to downtown and grab a roll :)))
yay!

So, I come here EVERY time I go to the Richard’s post office now. I’ve been here approximately 8 times since my first review (yes, I go to the post office a lot) and nothing has shaken the 5-​star status for me.
I’ve tried all sorts of artery-​clogging goodness here. On Monday I had a tuna sandwich for breakfast here, today I had a loco moco for lunch (shoyu on my white rice and Tabasco on my egg– YUM), and I’m so excited for what I’ll be munching on tomorrow!
I have to say that lunches are a little more than the breakfasts I’ve raved about. Breakfast is about $ 2.50 — $ 4.00 where lunch is about $ 4.00 — $ 6.00, but still great prices!
Anyway, if I have to describe this comfort-​nosh, I’d have to say «just like Obachan used to make.»

Small mom and pop convenience store, I hope it sticks around! They have delicious musubis and plate meals. Open at 6 am, I think, so perfect for all of us who have to go to work super early in the morning.
I got myself 2 musubis to eat while waiting in line at the State ID office. Definitely made the standing more bearable, and I think I made the other people in line a bit jealous…
