I like this marker for all things from Asia. I am never disappointed for not finding the seasoning, the herb or the flour Im looking for. Prices are great and its located near the 101 get for easy access.

They have ALL the things. Super hype to see different Asian foods and snacks usually found at other stories all in one store. I wish I had this near me...

One of those larger Asian supermarkets similar to 99 Ranch Market. You can ask them to clean and cook the fish that you choose. Selection of fresh vegetables, spices and meats are quite good. Beef selection is not the high grade of cuts. Of course customer service and amenities for you are quite low since it is not your mainstream supermarket.

Review №12

Rude staff, understand language issue, but tone of voice and face /the way they look at customers even wearing masks, cant feel welcoming or willing to help, may be because of bad management in customer services, expired foods especially fish cake paste and dried shrimp, dont buy those foods there

Clean store with huge variety of asian products! The butchers are very helpful.

Review №14

Store layout is very similar to Ranch 99 market. They carry pretty much everything that one would expect from an asian grocery store. They carry fresh and frozen selection of fish/seafood, poultry, and meat. The store gets a bit crowded over the weekends but thats a good problem for the business to have. Overall, no complains.

Review №15

Asian supermarket. Good for snacks, drinks, utensils, and spices from Asia. Fresh produce, meat and seafood, generally speaking, are lesser quality than American supermarkets and Ranch99’s.

Aisles too tight. Sometimes, prices are lower than other asian markets, sometimes the opposite.

Very vibrant, full of life. Screaming asian ladies, really loud noises, reminds me of markets in China. Best grocery store, go there every week. Note: Go to ranch 99 for rice!

Easy parking. Decent customer service. Vegetables are expensive.

Review №22

Something I found very helpful was that the costumers are helpful because some of the workers dont speak English so one of the costumers translated for us! Super nice people and customer service at least for us, just ask in advanced if they speak English just in case!

Fresh vegetable and fruit produce is plentiful. The wet market offers a lot of selections. Most Asian canned or bottled food and cooking items are available. Spacious store interior. Big parking lot in front of the store.

Grocery store mainly focused on Asian foods. Good selection of produce, meats, canned goods, dry goods.

Review №25

I am not a big fan of this store. Store employees are extremely rude to non-Viet customers.Believe me, everyone should avoid giving them any business. They are NOT customer oriented. If you are non-Viet customers, they will handle you like a pile of dirt. Talking to management is next to impossible. Management are always not available, and yet I have noticed they always chatting with each other. I guess it is because I am not a Viet customer.I would NEVER make any purchase there. I go maybe once a month and try to not buy so much so they dont earn much money from me at least. I only get the absolutely necessary items and try make a quick in and out.BTW, there is a brand new Ranch 99 scheduled to open up inside Westfield Oakridge mall (where Billy Beez used to be) in 2021. I cant wait and hope it will take all the business away from this Lion store.

This lion store fry the fish for you but there is no food safety regulations. They get the raw fish with semi cook fish at the same time. I asked for them to fry the fish for me and when my fish was almost done cooking, then they place other peoples raw fish on the bottom anf moved my stacked in top of the raw fish. Nasty!!!

LOVE THIS MARKET!!! We shop here for their incredible produce .. The produce prices are 80% lower then any big chain grocery store and the quality is SUPERIOR!! Prices on other items throughout the market are very lower also .. Customer service is always above par ... I always recommend Lion Market to family and friends ..

Clean Asian grocery store. Unlike the American grocery stores that open at 6am, this one opens at 9am. Good place to find Asian stuff. If youre trying to find Pizza Rolls and Lasagna, youre going to be disappointed. But if youre trying to find ramen and shrimp flavored chips, then this is the right place. This place needs to fix their refrigerated section where the milk and juice are. They are barely cold because it is not enclosed. Thats a big one to me, so Im docking a star for that. I had to go to some place else to buy my OJ since I didnt want to chance getting tart juice. Sorry, Lion. I know its an expense, but people want cold milk and cold juice.

I come here to shop for my mom, it’s close to where she lives. You’ll be lucky if you get a grocery cart during the weekends.There’s a variety of fruits and vegetables. I think they’re a little cheaper then Lucky’s or Safeway. Staff is friendly here so that’s a plus for Lions.Walmart is the best place to go for household items, and meat selections is better.Parking is available on weekdays and weekends. Be aware of solicitors in front of Lions.FYI: There’s also a LIONS on Story road, but it’s hard to find parking.

They raised their prices too much too quickly during this pandemic. The employees are not polite; they do not greet their customers or say “thank you”.

You get veges and fruits in a lot cheaper price even comparing to other Asian grocery store. There are not a lot of live seafood. But not bad for daily protein needs from beef, pork, fish etc. You can also find all popular Asian snacks, cooking sauces and dried goods.

Review №51

I despise this lion market . They are really racist. I walked in with 2 of my friends, and we wanted to purchase chips and soda for a party we were going to. We brought our backpacks so we can carry all the stuff because the party was at my friends cousins house and also we came right after school so thats another reason why we had our back packs. But once we came in we got the nastiest looks by all the staff. And when we were heading to the chips section of the store,the lady that was gaurding the entrance, came to us and yelled at us and told us to put our bags under a cabinet. But thats not the worst part. The worst part is another person came in with a bag and she did not say anything and me and my friends were angry. We called my friends cousin to see what kind of chips he wanted us to bring and soda..and then the same lady was following us around and passed by us a total of 8 times..then at the last time she stayed near us and she was telling us to get out of store because we were not buying anything.. me and my friends were outraged that we couldnt buy anything in the end. If i could rate it a 0 stars i would.

I went there on a Sunday. There were no shopping carts available. I started shopping until about 9 min later a cart was available. After checking out, I went home and realized I was missing some items. Over $30 in groceries. THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME THE GROCERIES THAT THE BAG PERSON DID NOT PUT IN MY CART. Bad shopping experience and the customer service is not acceptable.

Do not shop here. They sell rotten food stored at wrong temperature and when I took pictures and brought it back, they refuse to acknowledge it or offer any exchange or refund. I was told the owners and managers are too busy to talk to me. I will be reporting them to the health department.
