I came here for the first time after work as I was exploring the area. It's located in Land Park which I've never really driven through before. I came initially for the Vietnamese shop (check out that review coming up). The produce selection was pretty good. There were some things like the bitter melon that looked moldy. I wanted to buy some but just skipped on it. I did purchase tomatoes, bean sprouts, garlic, egg plants and that was pretty much it. This store reminds me of Ranch 99 minus the bakery items. I'll for sure return if I'm in the area again.
If you're vegan or vegetarian you've got to check this place out!! Really great produce section with great prices. Tons of meat alternatives and a big variety of tofu. A lot of mushrooms, fresh and dehydrated. Make sure you go down every isle. I used to go to the one in south Sac but this one is my favorite now.
This review is only about one thing... the $7.25 (at the time) Roast duck Banh mi... if you like duck and bánh mí, đó yourself a favor and try this out. I drizzled some hoisin sauce on it and it was bomb.
They have most Asian products available but if you're looking for Korean food products you might have to go somewhere else for that as they only carry some frozen products and no seasonings or spices etc. Service is good. Good lighting in the store and well stocked. They do have a hot food area but I've never tried and I don't plan to. Plenty of parking out front.
Huge supermarket that has almost everything I needed to start my own Chinese pantry from nothing. I was able to get all my ingredients for less than $130, which was very impressive given how many items I got including dry noodles, spices, sauces, fermented foods, flours. They have several other Asian ingredients, specifically for Vietnamese and Korean cuisines although I would recommend going elsewhere for Japanese items since this place charges more for furikake, panko, frozen udon, etc than other places. Produce selection is good and fresh and fairly priced as is the meats/seafood.
It was super good to revisit this super market again. This is one of the best and is a super huge supermarket that has everything, for all the Asian cuisines, traditional noodles, sweets, and as I walked through every aisle, I have lots of happy memories at this supermarket. Checking out the sweet tofu soup makes me happy and I feel so lucky to see my family's favorite traditional good food. I went to the same boxes of sweet Jolly Ranchers' lollipops and picked out the same one that I kept putting it back into the box for so many years, for all the joyful happy good reasons that I would never forget. Too funny. And all the fancy soy foods and finely chopped bamboos that are all softened with the soups and lightly seasoned with the red hot spicy chili. The famous tofu, bamboo, mushroom, hot and sour soup. They also have all of the famous pickles and the green sweet sour mustards. All the delicious different kinds of veggies. They got the famous authentic side dishes to eat with soy, noodles, fluffy rice, breads, salads, and beans. And the front of the supermarket has the best Hong Kong style fried dim sum and the best Shanghai dumplings, that compliment with the variety of noodles available by the deli chef managing the cooking deli counter. A beautiful supermarket filled with delicious good foods. I would recommend getting a small igloo box to keep it in your car to store some groceries from this supermarket, if you are hungry for some good hot pot foods, because the outside heat and humidity air might make it difficult to take out or bring home if you live far away. Veggies and sweet tofu cakes might melt away if you leave it in the hot car for more than six to eight hours. I ate and purchased the famous green pan-dan soy tofu soup that comes with coconut milk mixed with sago and a good sized brown sugar syrup. And of course drank the famous soy bean milk. Felt really cool from the hot heat after eating this delicious pudding.
8/4/23: I had a short list of groceries and found one item I needed. I was after the shredded pickled daikon and carrot mix, which I use in salads and sandwiches, $6.99. They had some huge carrots, not sure how or why they grow these amazing things. I bought one regular size carrot. Couldn't find Huy Fong sriracha sauce this time. I didn't look everywhere, so they may have had some, just not where I looked.
