No crowds at the new Tokyo Central in Irvine at 8:35am on a Friday

Visited the newly opened Tokyo Central in Irvine at 8:35 AM on a Friday morning on 8.8.25— and guess what? No lines, no crowds! Perfect timing to skip all the grand opening hype and long waits. Did you catch that Into The Groove by Madonna was playing in the background?

Enjoyed a peaceful and calm shopping experience, perfect for those who want to shop without the stress and chaos. This is ideal for anyone who doesn’t care about waiting, but still wants to check out the new store.

If you’re planning to visit Tokyo Central, consider an early weekday trip to enjoy shopping in peace and quiet!

My purpose was to purchase ingredients to make a delicious, fresh poke bowl. Let me know in the comments if you want me to post about the poke bowl.
