This place has so many staples if you're looking to make Chinese or Vietnamese cuisine. They have an entire aisle of sauces, spices and seasonings to help you create your perfect dish as well as many kinds of ramen, various noodles both fresh and dried and so many spices - including galanga which I searched San Francisco for high and low before realizing it's right here. There are tons of rice varieties, vegetarian meat substitutes and prepared spring rolls, too. There's a meat counter but since I eat vegetarian 95% of the time I've never never bought meat here. They also have housewares, too. I'm stoked to have this spot in the neighborhood. I've been coming here for eight years now. What I really like are the staff and owners here. They're good folks and very kind.

Nice grocery store. This is Asian grocery store. They have live fish and seafood. For some items if you pay cash it is cheaper. It is pretty neat inside. it is considered small for asian grocery store but the item the offer are pretty wide varieties. It has most regular groceries stores have. Parking sometimes could be a challenge since not much spaces on the premises but you can always park closed by.

  • Cheng Yu

Wow, completely remodel inside. Very impressive! No more holes on the floor, and the new shelfing units makes this place looks much bigger. Organizations is much better than before. Much easier to find what you want. Various Asian spices selection. Pricing is fairly reasonable. Has its own parking area, big plus for that !

  • kris chau

Everytime when I go into this market, it's smelled so bad. It's really stinky. I don't understand how can the staffs work inside. I am wondering how fresh is the food can be. I can't even stand it and I end it walk out the market. I attempt to give few chances, but unfortunately I just can handle the stinky smell.

  • Samantha Oxborough

A true pan-Asian grocery that includes some of my favorites: bulk instant noodles (Korean, Thai, Chinese, Japanese brands), Healthy Boy Mushroom Soy Sauce (Thai) and Three Ladies Rice Vermicelli (Vietnamese) at affordable prices. I make a monthly trek for the selection alone!

  • Andrew

There's this horrendous smell inside the market! Place is unsanitary especially the raw meat and live seafood section. I've got no choice but to shop here as it's the closest Asian market to get the usual Asian groceries. Also, prices are cheap. Tradeoffs unfortunately.

  • JOE BLUE

I came up to the counter asking the owner ( male with glasses ) for a 50 pounds Jasmine brand rice. He said he cannot sell it unless I purchase it with other items. I don't think this is a legal practise and I don't know why he can get away with this policy.

  • Nittaya Cohen

More expensive than I bought from Mei Wah on Clement Street. The staff are not friendly especially the couple who are at the Lotto counter. They must be the owner. They are quite rude. I asked some help but they showed rude manner. I won't go there anymore.

  • tyra kim

This asian market has many of asian condiments and groceries, except, the service seems to be very poorly managed and I feel like sick just walking through the meat section. The cleaniness of this place is definately gross.

  • J De Santiago

You can find so many products at high prices, but the cherry on top is the smell. I went shopping for some products and my coworker near vomited as she attempted to walk into the grocery store. The smell is so overwhelming.

  • Akil Voltaire

Staff is nice. Lines are short. I like being able to pick up things from here that aren't at very many locations or are hard to find. I could name a few but honestly, go there and look around. Great meat selection too.

  • C M

Good place for what it is, Chinese/Asian grocer with fresh meat and seafood section. A lot of fresh fruit and veg outside tho more veg inside. People were generally socially distanced and all masked, certainly staff.

  • Sandy Micone

This is the best market ever - has the most obscure asian foods that you cannot find at any store in the US. They have the best and freshest crab right now and WOW - highly recommend - best crab I've ever tasted!

  • Micky C

My go to place for asian grocery. They have a parking lot which I don't use since I live a block away xD. The boss is always nice and ordered more of the kitkat or ice cream I like when I mentioned they were out.

  • Iris Adams

The customer service is more then also me they except me in as is I was a long time customer. And I just got to say I just wasn’t expecting it and if you are in to the lottery they are very lucky retailer

  • Jin Huang

They charge extra fee if you pay with your credit card. Today I was trying to buy a bag of Jasmine Rice. The cashier said they need to charge $1.00 for credit transaction. I didn't buy it of course.

  • Shannon Racoma

Love the new renovation, because honestly it was in need of it. The old place made you question the sanitary practices. But the newly upgraded equipment and paint adds a fresh comforting ambience.

  • Sophie Carnegie

This place had everything I needed, the cashier was pleasant, I did get propositioned for sex by a fellow customer as I was leaving...not sure if that was a bad thing or simply a compliment....

  • Michael S. Abadilla (SANDMAN666)

San Bruno market is on San Bruno avenue in San Francisco and the Portola district is a Asian grocery and fish market prices are reasonable silver avenue is two blocks north of its location.

  • Anna Majkowska

Very peculiar smell permeates this place. Prices are somewhat high, especially compared to the smaller store nearby (across from the breakfast place). Parking lot is a big plus though.

  • Lilian Situ

Been coming here as long as I can remember. Parking can be horrid at times as it is along this area of San Bruno. Good place for fresh meat. Wouldn't reccomend much else from here

  • Khai Pham

Not sure why people hate it. Local market with real people doing business, not some corporation-"customer is king"-policy. Good selection of Vietnamese ingredients and goods

  • Calvin Henderson

Love this market and the many options. The meat market is great especially in a community where fresh food isn't readily available.

It's not a big market. It's clean except the live seafood area. Water is all over the floor. There is a parking lot for customers.
