So much variety of produce and Asian snacks I cant really find anywhere else. The first thing you will notice upon entering is the overwhelming fish smell, but I think it adds to the experience. Clerks/cashiers are very polite and helpful and fast and efficient.

I usually visit this Store (prefer to say Chinese Sea food and Meat store) to buy a fish. I use to get some good amount of fish for good price, but you should know how to differentiate which is fresh or not. I found some variety of fish are so cheap and good (*if you find the fresh one). Just reduced a star (rating 4 Star) because of freshness of the fish, sometimes it might be old.

The frozen fish in ice with box is 3 lbs. But with no box, no ice. Only 2 lbs. Thats cheat. Thats very terrible. The responses make no sense. Im not buying ice, but fish. Most of the US name brand super market selling seafood with ice, 不会缺斤短两 with no ice!

Great Chinatown neighborhood market. Its a small market so offerings are limited in variety. Fast customer service will have you in and out in no time.

Check the receipt BEFORE leaving...Todays shopping experience here was terrible. The cashier has checked out DOUBLE on sweet rice and TRIPLE on egg yolks. The egg yolks were sold as a bundle of three, because I didnt notice that so I actually took two bags. And she charged me the price of six!Its hard to say she meant to do this. If so, it would be even horrible. Please please please check the receipt BEFORE leaving when shopping here. Dont be in a rush like me.

The cleanest and most well-stocked Asian supermarket in Philadelphia Chinatown. It has all the staples youd find in a Chinese kitchen, and then some. Meat isnt always the freshest, but its not horrible either. Fruit, on the other hand, is often fresh and very well priced! The lower floor where most of the packaged items are stocked is a trove for instant noodles, snacks, sauces/dried ingredients, and frozen foods. Everything is decently priced.Minus one star since this place is always packed. Its often hard to get through the narrow vegetable aisles near the checkout kiosks.

Great variety of food, be sure to chech out the canned foods downstairs too! It can get very busy at certain times so be prepared! The meat and seafood is fresh and large amounts of produce and discounted items outside too!

Excellent Asian Food Market! Everything you can find from produce, meats, seafood, snacks etc. Fresh produce I recommend. In the heart of Chinatown, Philadelphia. In Center City (The Downtown). Customer service is great but might need a translator at times. It can get really busy, the line does go fast. No fuss, No mush! It is a must! Shop here!

Excellent fresh fish selection and friendly fish mongers and other staff! Somehow, I forgot to take my bag of a dozen live crabs when I left the store. The cashier ran out of the store to find me and give me my forgotten crabs. Theyve got me as a faithful customer for that!

Review №22

The food in it is not very fresh. The people at work are very unfriendly. They buy things because they live far away. An uncle gives them some ice and says he will take it himself. Amigo comes to say why you steal ice here. Who the hell is going to take your rubbish? I wont go back there to buy it. Even I wont go to the New Jersey house, The one next door is theirs, and I wont go either. This kind of service attitude is to spend money to find guilt

Very high cost performance. I used to go to target or some Korean market. The price in those place are so much higher. Now I spent less money for more products! Cuz Im a student, thats really a yes for me. Highly recommend for people who need to manage their living expenses on a lower budget.

Review №28

We shopped there yesterday, very disappointed. They charged higher prices at checkout for several vegetables, you have to pay attention. When we bought beef brisket and asked for a look, the guy hid the bad part of the meet, only showed good part. We always buy groceries from there even though their environment is not ideal. Now we decided to go to others, rather pay a higher price than being cheated.

Review №29

They have a great selection of fresh seafood and the green peanuts that have been a tradition in my family. They have proper Covid-19 restrictions in place with an orderly check out process. They accept debit, credit and extremely, which is posted up front for the customers. We need more options with fresh fruit and produce this place has that.

Review №31

This is my favorite grocery store on Phillys Chinatown. They always have what Im looking for in authentic Chinese and korean ingredients, and I can usually find decent alternatives for tough to find Thai ingredients too. A lot of the products here have no English whatsoever on their labels, so dont go in expecting an easy trip without a translation app on your phone, or a precise product in mind. A major tip for this place: it is PACKED all weekend, every weekend. With an open-market environment of meats and produce upstairs, fruit and seasonal merchandise outside, and more packaged goods and non-perishables downstairs, this place has plenty to explore. If you want to take a slow trot around checking out potential new flavors and seeing what they carry, Id find a time on a weekday and enjoy!

Great Chinese & Asian Food Market. They have a huge variety of fresh vegetables, meat and seafood. They also have a good selection of snacks and other hard to find things like spices, noodles, dumpling ingredients, etc. Space is a little tight as they have a lot of products and the aisles are not very wide. The store can be very busy and you need to wait in line but it is worth it as you wont find these products anywhere else unless you want to pay twice as much online plus high shipping prices.

I went to this market to find some of the foods I see some of the mukbangers eating and was able to find everything that I was looking for and more. I really enjoyed the selection of exotic fresh fruits and fresh vegetables. The have a fish and seafood section with live fish, crabs and lobsters. They provided great customer service and even got my baby boy smile, say hi and blow them a kiss. Great Chinatown find.

Was crowded today, But did not have a good experience. Seems like the cashier is tired but just very unpainted! They throw instead of pass the things to me. Anyway check at the camera on 25th September2020 17:10, saw someone stealing vegetable, an old lady grab another peace of veg put into the shopping bag and walk out,was about to tell the cashier but changed my mind coz of the bad survice. But leave the clues here and u guys will dicide what to do about it.

Nicely stocked Asian grocery store to stop by when you’re in Chinatown – produce is fresh and theres good selection of dried goods found downstairs. However, the service leaves a lot to be desired and the space is very tight inside so it can get very crowded (especially on the weekends).Also keep an eye out when the cashiers are ringing you up – we’ve had more than one instance where they’ve entered the wrong price.Overall its a good grocery store to visit if youre looking for fresh fruits/produce and Asian goods. Just know what to expect.

Nice collection of Asian groceries at reasonable price though the place is small. Produce fresh till afternoon. Evening is crowded and vegetables looks wilted. A good place to stop if you are looking for asian spices, noodles, meat, fish, and many more. You can also find noodles from various countries and dumplings as well in the basement. Good collection of Chinese cookies and chocolates. Closes at 8pm but they start covering produce by 7:30pm.

Review №75

On my opinion The Heng Fa is one of the best places to get seafood in Chinatown Philadelphia PA. They have a variety of seafood thats not available in most markets in Chinatown. In fact, a lot of the fish that they have there I could not find and other seafood markets in Chinatown PA dismayed this market stand out to originality when it comes down to getting things that you really need. In addition, they also have a wide variety of how far in vegetables and groceries. This includes special beings Rices suits and more. If you need to get a special dish or ingredient this is the market that you might want to check out amongst medi. The only thing that I didnt like when it came down to service is that most of the attendants there didnt seem very chopper friendly besides the cashiers. A lot of the fish attendance seem very short with people and that was a big turn-off. Other than that this market is pretty good.

If you only care about the food price and quality but not the shopping experience, this is a great place to visit. Most of the food are cheaper than the big grocery store outside. Pay attention on the fruit, they are really fresher and cheaper.

I go there for long beans and bitter melon along with other vegetables I love that are not available in traditional supermarkets. It is usually crowded but once one knows where to find what they’re looking for it’s not that overwhelming. Also their meat prices are reasonable.

I love this little market and it seems as though everyone else around me loves this store also. It is very tight in there so dont go in with bags or bookbags on it makes it much harder to get around the store for everyone. There is a huge selection of everything. Things that you cant find around the city you might find there. Health food junkies paradise come true. I will indeed be going back often. 💖💖

Review №83

While they have a decent selection, the smell is powerful, nearly unbearable. We generally go to the underground market around the corner. I guess if you are in a rush and know exactly what you want, this place would be fine. I wouldnt purchase Ang fresh meat or fish from here though. Also very crowded.

Review №97

For those who want to get straight to the point:- Customer service is bad as it can get (They should just add a self-service and a self-checkout it will make the shopping experience more enjoying)- Products arent always in the best conditions (It seems like every fresh product is kept in the fridge of the freezer until they almost go bad or they are sold in a way that makes it seem fresh)- Some places arent as sanitary as expected (This wasnt a problem when the shop was new. Nowadays, during the summer there are fruit flies and flies flying around on the fruit products and the meat/poultry and seafood section doesnt seem to be cleaned)For those who want more detail:Let me keep this as short as possible. The customer service overall is really bad. The cashiers have most of the blame. The meat/poultry and seafood services arent always good but they still get the job done if you give them enough time (that is if you can wait for a good 5-10 minutes).These opinions are based on events that I have experienced so you shouldnt believe everything I say as the one and only since everyone has different experiences. One of the worst experiences came from a recent visit during the checkout line. An elderly woman went to the front of the line. The cashier told the elderly woman to go to the end of the line and the elderly didnt respond. The cashier continued to press on the issue when no one in the line seemed to really mind the line cutting conducted by that elderly. It got to the point where the cashier was yelling at the elderly for her action (I wonder what happened to respect your elders). The cashier also said to the elderly that she wouldnt serve anyone who doesnt respect the rule with an attitude and confiscated the shopping basket of the elderly. The elderly continued to stand in front for the cash register and the cashier just when on and on yelling at the elderly while not minding the line (Could have just check out the elder and not hold up the line in the name of enforcing the rule for the line waiters). Although what the elderly did was wrong, I believe that what the cashier did wasnt done correctly in the professional sense. There could have been many other ways to solve the problem without harassing the elderly in front of everyone. Also if you understand the mandarin you will notice that the cashiers are professionals at bad mouthing people. In most of the visits, I find them talking about co-workers or in some cases rude customers.Okay... that took longer than I expected. I should just keep things short for the other problems. The products (mostly the fruits) are usually sold in a not so good condition when sold to the public. Just check the fresh products before you buy them and if you do buy them eat it in 2 days at the maximum (I bought an apple that looks fresh outside and in the inside the entire core was rotten. Dont know how that happened but at least it looked pretty). Im not a big stickler for the quality of food since not much of the food is really fresh after the long transport, but dont sell me rotten things along with the fresh ones. Also if you dont know how to spot the difference between a fish that is dead recently and a fish that has been dead for a while just buy the ones that are alive.Last problem, the sanitation during the summer is a problem. There isnt really anything to separate the seafood section from the fruit and vegetable section and during the summer there are some fruit flies and flies (Not always) so basically they can fly all over the place (I take it back. The only separation is the distance between each section. A good 7-9 yard). Also, the meat/poultry and seafood section dont seem really clean there are traces of stains all over the glass if you look. When you go to the seafood section watch out for the floor (usually wet).
