This is a busy place. They do have a very large fresh fish market inside. But all that fish can leave a fishy smell when you enter.

So far, the best Asian supermarket. Bright and well stocked, and an infinite variety of items. A must for the Asian food lovers.

Very bad customer’s service here, I’ve been to this market plenty time and every time I went I never feel happy with the service from the staff at the seafood to the cashier. I went in to today to get some veggies and seafood the staff at the seafood department is mean and ignoring, I wanted to buy some crabs and he just picks randomly they are pretty small some big ones are mixed in so I asked him to give a bigger one or a better one but he yelled at me and said you have to pay more you have to pay more he repeated and said 3 for $10 okay?! then he picked 6 small crab only one of them is a good size and gave me 6 for $20 it is not worth it at all, I don’t mind to pay extra if it’s worth it for what I’m paying for, the tag was stated 12 for $16. I went to the cashier and told her that he over charges me for those crabs and she ignored me likes she know nothing, making me so disappointed that I will never wanted to come back to this market again and I will sure let me family & friends not to bother to come to this market.

Always buying fish from this supermarket and the service at the fish department is terrible. Not helpful, disrespectful and ignorant. The guy did not cut my fish the way I ask him to cut it, he took caviar out of my fish and the to sell it for cash, I didnt have cash with me, so I ask him to put the price so Ill be able to pay at the register he was regretting that I ask for the manager and he start screaming and saying bad words . I hope the store will hire someone more nice and respectful.

Fantastic Asian SUPERMARKET!Wide variety of chinese and other asian food products. Great fresh meat & fish selections, including live eels and frogs!!Always wonderful produce and fruits. Go there 3 or 4 times a year to stock up on all our favorites. Could not keep a Chinese household without this place. Just a gem in Philly! Dont miss it.-bigeasy

Lemme start with good. Big selection of sauces, ramen and candy. Price wise I think is good comparing that American markets will charge you more. I usually but what I said above so I can’t comment on the rest. But clearly they don’t use a/c or what not cuz it smells horrible inside like gotta wear 2 masks. They have $1 special on fruits and veg but you get what u pay.

I buy all my fresh and Asian products from this market. However many items are not labeled in English 50% of the fresh fish is labeled in Chinese. I complained to management the excuse for this was that they could find the English name for it..really? Unacceptable. Lastly the fish service is run by non English speaking employees and there is not take a number system this leads to conflict amongst the customers. This can be resolved however my impression is that they dont appreciate US or non Asian customers. 😥

This is a real deal Chinese supermarket that also carries a pretty wide variety of grocery items from other Asian countries (some Filipino, Korean & Vietnamese). Pretty large produce, seafood & poultry sections with a very wide variety of items, especially leafy greens and fish, which they will fillet.A minor complaint --- The labeling of wrapped fresh meats could stand improvement in specificity. Different cuts of beef can be meat, poultry varieties can be fowl, etc.

I brought packaged ribs. Got home put it in my freezer and about 2 to 3 days later I took out to cook. Found out they were bad because of the smell. Took them back to be told that they will not give me my money back or even another pack after a day. Ive noticed that Asian restaurants are the same way. Sell bad food then in so many words theyll tell us that they can sell and treat us anyway and we have to deal with it. From now on I will stick with Acme.. Sams club.. ShopRite ect where the food is guaranteed and so is the kindness. Oh keep in mind we dont all get home from the market open and smell the meats right away but from now on I will.

This review is as of 7/19/21. I read some bad reviews of this place and had to see for myself esp sinse its not far from my home. I found the place to be clean, well lighted, well stocked, well staffed. Their selelction is fairly complete and was able to find almost everything i wanted. Also while browsing I checked to see if they had all the things i typically buy and they did. Many times I have to go to 2 or 3 places to find what I want; so this looks like itll be a one stop shop for me.The prices were good and competitive other Asian markets in the city. It did not appear as if anything was on sale, at least I saw no sale signs. Many times one might find Pocky on sale somewhere 2 for $6, but not here. The only flaw if you want to call it that was maybe the produce could be a bit fresher. That said, Im no expert on produce. I am comparing to HMART which has an excellent produce section. For a busy store the floors were pretty clean. I worked in retail and know what a challenge that can be. The bathroom was very clean and modern and I didnt mind using it. The store is located off the Roosevelt Blvd at St. Vincent St. one block from Cottman Ave; so it is accessible by the rt.14 & 70 buses. Those 2 buses alone cover a good portion of the city if you dont drive. Lastly, its true not all the staff speak english but those that do were friendly and helpful. I am accustomed to shopping in Asian markets, so I pretty much can find what I need. This place is a winner!

I would suggest doing your research on whatever asian cuisine your trying to make before going to this market. You wont get any help from employees. No ones speaks English unless you make them mad. Sad but true. Besides that good prices and fresh seafood.

Great products but I wish theyd clean their store specially the floor. Atleast they mop it or what just to remove the dirt and rotten fish smell tho they sell fish too. Maybe it can lessen the bad smell if they will. 🤧🤢🤷‍♀️

Drove a half an hour only to be told that they close at 6pm. I asked a woman who works there why they havent updated their hours on google if its been almost a year since theyve changed their hours, and she laughed in my face. She said she would tell her manager but when I asked to speak with them she said there was no manager at the store. Never again will I come up here for this buffoonery.

You can find most Asian food & stuff here. Asian family will come here shopping while waiting for the take out/seat from the nextdoor Chinese restaurant. Parking lot has a lot of parking space. But illegal parking in front of the entrance is very common. Please watch your way when you return to your car.

I drove over half hour to get there around 8:20pm. But a guy maybe a manager said they have already closed. And said I made a mistake. He told me to look the sign on the door. But no 1 Asian supermarket website shows close at 9:00pm.They made me like a fool.

We go here to buy my husbands favorite, that classic rooster bottle Sriracha. They usually have them two large bottles for five dollars - Ive paid more than five for one bottle at regular groceries. They also carry import foods that are hard to find in other places if you enjoy east Asian cuisine, tea, or just want to try some new snacks.

Review №96

DO NOT GO TO THIS GROCERY STORE!!!! Terrible customer service! I wanted to do an even exchange on a NON-FOOD item and even after presenting a receipt I was faced with multiple managers trying to refuse the exchange based on a 24 hour rule that was applicable to food items, per their own policy on the receipt. It felt like harassment and was quite embarrassing. After a lengthy discussion with them they finally agreed, grudgingly; but not until all five of them inspected the item looking for flaws. I was very upset and angry about the incident.

Review №99

Fresh produce great prices. But they are inherently greedy, they will count the same thing over and over even if you truthfully tell them the quantity. They will also pack bags to the mouth just to savor few pennies. In addition, they dont have any canned beans, peas and such like the goya ones. In the end you do get a free pack of crackers or a pineapple or such which makes it worth shopping there
