Kinda the low end of Asian markets. Less maintained than Lion or 99 Ranch. Convenient location for us. Always changing inventory means you can find treasures but might be disappointed if you expect to find some staples or favorites. For example, one day recently they had no fresh noodle packs. Checkers have always been friendly. Plenty of parking.

Because most of the times in checking out registers people charged more than actual money so it’s not good 😌 sorry, today I also go back and complain so they only tell sorry every time and give back the money when I noticed otherwise they changed me more. So it’s not good for a good business

Great selection of Asian and Mexican food items. Good produce. Some aisles set up with stacks of boxes more like a warehouse. Prices not always available near item. Fresh meat and seafood. Choose your fish and they fry it for you at no extra charge. Kitchen and household items too.

Great place to find some interesting food and spices. Lots of fresh vegetables and a great meat department. It may seem a bit overwhelming because there is so much to look at and choose. Some of the aisles are a bit tight but this little inconvenience is worth the discovery. Ive found foods/ingredients unknown to me but I take this as a challenge and look online for ways to cook with it.

This service in this market is terrible. I do not expect a luxury customer service quality as a hotel or restaurant. However, their attitudes are unacceptable. The cashier throws my food can into a bag. My stuff is obviously damaged afterward. When I tell her to be gentle with my stuffs, she glares at me and keeps doing that. I tell the manager but no action has been taken.Moreover, their cameras are not operating. Someone has broken one of their items and they accuse us for breaking it. It is probably because we have a kid. When I tell them to review the camera footage, they cannot do so. While they cannot prove us either innocent of guilty, the manager yells at us as if we did it. The fight is going nowhere. When we tell her we will ask for helps from police and attorney, they let us go.That is the most terrible grocery I have been so far. Even a third world country has better services than it. We will never visit it again.

Thumbs up! This grocery shop was perfect for my needs. I was able to get what I badly need for a shower party at my place. Everything I need was all intact to this place. Their staff who accommodated me was very helpful and reliable. They deserve great ratings. Thank you so much to all of you! I will surely come back!

Vegetable is fresh but meat products. There has been so many times I bought meat products here and had to throw them away because they were stink and couldnt cook. Hope the store owner or manager is aware of that issue. It would cause health issues for your clients if you keep selling not quality products.

Good place to get non-typical items that you cant find at Safeway/Lucky/Trader Joes/Sprouts/Whole Foods. But be warned: the seafood area is busy during Friday-Sunday at dinner times. And this place has really bad drivers here. Self explanatory. This is not Kansas anymore...

Review №61

This is a local independently owned supermarket that caters primarily to Asians & Latins shoppers. There are grocery sections for each with Asian area much larger. They have fresh fruits, veggies, fresh meat & fish counters. Their prices are very reasonable compared to other large corporate supermarket in the area.

Review №64

Id give this place a 2.5 but I couldnt, leaning more towards 2 due to lack of amenities as well (restroom is filthy horrendous and is in the employee area).Place is dirty, example the soda area is stinky across most of the bottles (I had to find hand check and touch a variety to insure just the top wasnt sticky).The store also lacks a lot of things, its like an international hotpot without the core necessities of each cultural flavor... Like a poor fusion restaurant.

This store is nasty and the customer service is very rude . Dont shop where your not wanted and they make it clear. Check everything you might finds bugs anything there is a reason its so cheap. Ask help to find miso and even the manager said no im not going to help you find it but check 11.. RUDE AND NASTY....

I go here several times a week because it’s so close to my house, prices are higher than Lions or some other stores and the produce does not seem to be top notch stuff but you can get some great produce bargains every now and then.Several years ago my mom bought some fried tofu from there, the ones that you pick yourself and pay by the pound, she got home and started stuffing them with ground pork when she discovered they were outdated and sour, she took out her ground pork and returned the tofu to the store, several weeks later she was there again and saw her tofu back on the shelf, pieces of her ground pork were visible.I once bought a whole fish there, had them clean it, took it home and my thumb went right through it, it was mushy and spoiled, took it back, don’t know what became of itI’m fairly certain by the looks of the produce that they do not buy the highest grade stuff and probably closer to seconds

Its a really good place to get Asian / Mexican stuff for dinner or lunch or breakfast is usually not too crowded there in the food they sell there is nearly top quality they sell a lot of fruits and vegetables ranging from a cucumber to probably something as complex as an orange or was that just me but says not devil a large range of fish you can buy there you can either buy them alive or dead that means theyre fresh basically if you live near a marina grocery store like I do its a good place to go for convenience to they also sell American stuff like hot dogs to gogurts

This business is located in the bad parts of Seven Trees and its infested with the homeless community this does not give Marina employees an excuse to dismiss food and safety codes it isnt a choice but their Duty to provide a healthy and safe sanitized environment for the people of this community not only is it their duty but it is a law youre putting people at risk of getting sick by selling expired Foods they are also at risk of getting sick from storing the food in the back of the store behind the fence where the trash bins are located within 12 feet from the fence where they have unpackaged the merchandise left on crates exposed to diseases airborne from feces and urine and other chemicals oils and waste that has saturated the concrete walls and drive way out in the back parking lot from were the food and merchandise is stored all the way to the street. The merchandise is also exposed to huge roaches, bugs, bedbugs, rats etc. Not only should the owners of Marina Grocery store and even their employees be held accountable for the laws they have broken and the codes they ignored but the city officials, from food and safety to law enforcement for not doing there jobs.
