A sub-par Asian market that has all the essentials I need to not be able to drive all the way to San Gabriel. Coming here is always a great experience but just because this is a review and I do have to be constructive, I do have to give this place a 3 stars. I used to most of the criticism that I am giving this specific market because I grew around these factors. I am just adding this in so that people who are not used to the typical "Asian" supermarket characteristics know what they are getting exactly into.First, lets start with the condition of the store. Like most Asian supermarkets, walking in, you can sort of perceive the place as old, dirty, and bit cramped. Well get used to it, because most of these places are like that. If its not dirty, old, or cramped, you're either in Taiwan or at a chain supermarket. Next, the service is practically non-existent. The cashiers are rude and unhelpful. The butchers are even worse sometimes. And the stockers and pretty much there to ignore you. But once again, this happens at most supermarkets so get used to it.Next is the CUSTOMERS. If you have not seen Fresh Off the Boat yet, then you do not know what I mean. Everyone's heard about the Costco in Garden Grove. But imagine that everyday at peak hours. It is not as bad here since this particular market does not get too crowded but I have had this experience here in there.Other than all the negatives, I still love coming here. This market has all the exotic and high quality produce that I can get at any other market in the SGV but at the convenience but being closer by to my house. The sample lady is the sweetest person alive and practically gave me 3 whole dumplings worth of samples. Honestly, you cannot go wrong with this place. Looking past the negatives, I can see a beautiful market with more character than any other store within the area.

Felt bad for the owner when I was in the market because most of the fruits were not selling and going bad. The owner must be losing money in this business. Just got home and realize the tofu I bought expired for half month!!!! I should’ve checked the expiration date when I bought it but now I can see this supermarket is not doing well for a reason
Feedback:
Freezers don't work; ice cream melts, then freezes again, then melts, then freezes, etc. I saw some kind of fluid dripping from a pipe onto their meat. They sell products that are way past their expiration dates, like a year past! They buy lots of distressed items in bulk. Vegetables left rotting on the shelves; like who's going to buy them? Other vegetables you bring home and they're wilted the next day. Expensive.
Feedback:
Typical Asian grocery store with all the Asian essentials you could need. It's not the nicest and cleanest store around but when you need something it's close by. The meat is okay too, not always the best cuts/quality but sometimes you can be surprised. There are usually weekly sales on certain products which is nice and it's usually a quick in and out.
Feedback:
Interesting transgression from a spanish market to an asian market a couple years back. The interior has remained the same and does not look any different than before, but what is different is the items stocked on the shelves. The market is decent with sufficient amount of parking. The meat from the butcher does not look too good and may be frozen. Aisles are unorganized and it can be rather difficult to find something you need. If you look hard enough you can find non-asian products in the midst of everything.
