Review from Miss C.

Great asian grocery store. Produce is fresh and cheap. You can get huge sacks of potatos (10lbs) for 3.49, large bags of rice for 6$, cheap fresh spinach, etc. etc.
They also have a good selection of eggs for decent prices at 3$/dozen and dairy and soy products. There is a smaller meat and frozen food selection and a great selection of sauces. They have a small selection of dry goods and canned goods, but this store's focus is the vegetables/fruits and the sauces (soy, oyster, fish, etc.) and oils.
As far as the service, it is quick and efficient. Not particularly friendly, but I don't really care about small talk and I understand they are super busy.
I appreciate the large read-out so I can calculate my purchases easily and the fact that they take visa/mastercard. They also have a website where you can check out hours/specials. And it's right near a bus stop. Wow! -

Cheap cheap. Groceries are relatively fresh for the price you pay. Parking is a problem though. I recommend not going into the parking lot, park offsite on the street. My dad always gets his soy milk here.

Love love!
I never look at the prices cause everytime I grab everything I would need for an Asian dish, and calculate the approximate price at the checkout lane, IT'S ALWAYS HALF OF WHAT I EXPECTED TO PAY FOR THE QUALITY I GET!
bonus: the Chinese grannies stocking up are super cute and friendly:) -

So very cheap! Tasty stuff, good selection. I mainly visit for produce, but they have good prices on some juices and drinks as well. The other night I went by and got garlic, two yellow peppers, and two white onions for $1.67. Woah.
I should mention also that they're open until 8PM right now every day except Sunday (7PM), but I think those hours are changing soon. That being said, because they have so many outdoor vegetable containers, they start bringing them in pretty early, and it makes the store mostly impossible to navigate. So I wouldn't come by later than 7:30 unless you just want to grab one or two veggies or something. -

A busy supermarket full of almost everything a supermarket needs.
I usually come here for fresh veggies and fruits. They are usually half the price of Safeway! They carry alot of local produce/fruits when available and let you know when they aren't.
They have ladies outside selling some of the green chinese veggies and it reminds me of Chinatown when I was young and my mom would drag me around. They also upsell the fruit sometimes.
In the back, they carry fresh chicken, pork and beef which I've had and they have been superb!
They carry most of the chinese items I like, like rice rolls and a huge variety of noodles!! They also carry big jugs of Vita Soy (mmm) and mochi balls and Melona popsicles!
I think that their way busy enough to have a high turnover in their produce and I like that it's half the price of Safeway for fresh stuff! -

This is the second of two of my favorite grocery stores.
Here's a sampling of some of the things I get here on a regular basis:
Produce, fruit, vegetable buns for the steamer, pocky, free range eggs, soya milk, peanuts, mushrooms, frozen prawns/mussels, frozen lamb shoulder, fresh chicken breasts, green onion crackers, juice.
I'm always amazed at how much stuff I end up getting here everytime I go out for a "few things". And even more surprising is how little I spend each time. Great prices.
Ok. Now that I've managed to make myself hungry, I think I'll go make breakfast.
