I love shopping at both 168 Markets in this area. The decently priced AND quality of fruit is what keeps me coming back to this market. I've also bought meat from here and it was fresh and good quality. The place is extremely clean like an Albertson's, but items are priced cheaper like most other Asian markets in the area. Parking is plenty, even at peak hours since it's located on a very large lot. The building may be old looking on the outside but the inside is really nice and clean. read more

168 Market has been in Alhambra for many many years. I still remember as a young child coming here with my parents. That's over 40+ years ago. Yep, I am an old adult now LOL. Whenever I see this 168 Market, I would always say, "What humongous parking lot it has!". Yes, it's huge! You see more of the parking lot than the building itself. Of course, it's shared with the other businesses around it. It's just like any other supermarkets with its fresh produce, good quality meats, variety of deli food items, and misc sections. I didn't do any shopping during my recent visit. But got a chance to walk around it perimeters. It has a unique exterior almost like an old western style saloon look. Funny, there is also a CVS Pharmacy in the same shopping center which I find slightly out of place IMHO. Anyway, it was nice to reminisce the good old times. read more

Only been here once so that's why I only put 3 stars in always fascinated/ interested in trying new things (food) etc.. as soon as I walked in they had fresh rotisserie duck just hanging by the neck I thought it was cool never seen that before there food was top notch 10/10 they had the biggest jackfruit I've ever seen in my life what brought me to the store was ice cream I provided a picture! The ambiance was giving very much welcoming even the lady at the cashier was nice and understanding we accidentally dropped our ice cream box and it opened and she told us to go replace it but we didn't because nothing was wrong with it, but that was very nice of her read more

168 Market - Steamed bun, vege/ mushroom - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Alhambra, California

This place was crowded on a late Saturday afternoon. I enjoy exploring at this store. They have three aisles devoted to candy and snacks. And also a big bin section at the far right near the dishes and household products, there you'll find more boxed cookies and snacks. I always find my ginger chews here...straight up ginger, also ginger with mango, and ginger with pineapple ...the chews I think are helpful for motion sickness nausea, but it's a candy!! I also discovered they have a wide selection of hot pot meats. I didn't buy any but they were all in one place in an aisle frig...lamb, ribeye, pork belly...also a good variety of tofu.. at reasonable price unlike at American grocery stores. I caution about the meat products...mom bought a chicken to make a soy sauce chicken, but when she unwrapped it, it was spoiled. She'll take it back, but don't know yet if they will reimburse her. They have a store card, and it gives good discounts in general...and a few times I've been here, there gave been giveaways for cardholders, so I've gotten free items at the register, but not today. I really like the bin nut and tea kiosk located as you enter the store. They have good service, they give samples, I like getting my dried plum treats here. it's about $14 for a half pound, worth it for the quality...also the delicious baked candied pecans, super yummy. I usually stop by there on the way out the store. Also before. Leaving I like to check out the bakery and deli...as a cardholder, you get a deli/bakery discount but you have to mention your store membership. read more

My go-to Asian grocery store! It's primarily a Chinese grocery store, but I'm able to find a lot of Vietnamese, Japanese, and Korean ingredients for the dishes I'm making. My favorite parts of the store: - cleanliness: it is so clean in there! Meat and seafood section don't smell like other stores in the area. - veggies on sale: without sales, I find the veggies are cheaper than 99 Ranch, H-Mart, and American grocery stores. However, they always have manager special sales on mushrooms and leafy greens which I always buy. - hotpot fishball section: they have a self-scoop fish all section like at 99 Ranch and H-Mart, but I notice there's no ice that indicates the balls have been defrosted and refrozen. I always look out for that as a sign of quality storage. - free item at checkout: if you spend $30+, they usually give a free item. I've gotten boba packets, rice paper, dried noodles, and hotpot soup base. - parking lot is massive! Cons: - long lines: the cash registers are always slow and leads to long lines - butchers are meh: they just never scoop the amount I ask for - always too little or too much - aggressive kiosk ladies when you're leaving: there's a Vua Kho Bo kiosk selling Vietnamese and Chinese dried fruits, seeds, and jerky. The ladies working there are so aggressive in making sales that it's annoying sometimes. 168 is not the largest market, but its the most convenient, clean, and cheap in the area. I love popping in here several times a week! read more

These people are Scammers! Do not buy the roast duck in this location I picked a nice duck, and the woman changed it to another duck that was burnt and barely had any meat and cut it for me, it was like the duck had been reheated for many days. All the meat has shrunk. They hang the nice one in there and will sell you the bad one. I didn't know she switched the duck until I got home. I will never go back there. read more

Could only speak on the hot deli as I did not get any groceries from the market. Most delicious and juicy shrimp balls ever. Ate all 4 pieces in the car because I was starving. I also ordered the crispy pork, and kung pao chicken, which was essentially fried pop corn chicken. Both were very crispy but average flavor-wise. If I'm in the area again, will stop by for shrimp balls. Very nice and friendly cashier. Hot deli and fresh bakery in same area by left entrance read more

Bought two young coconuts from 168 Market alhambra today and it tasted like water and the meats inside were pink - so it's actually almost spoilt and not eatable. They were from Vietnam and the local importer is Max Group Corp of City of Industry. Please let the seller know not to import such poor quality products. Will stick with Thailand export which so far no problem. read more

Today was my first visit and I was really surprised at the selection. They had a ton of seafood, most of it live or out in the open on ice for selection. I did not come in here searching for anything in specific, but I walked out with a bunch of stuff. The ramen selection is massive and well-price in my opinion. They also had lots of food samples. I tried some ramen and some dumplings, I ended up waking away with a package for each! The sample people were also just really sweet and inviting. They showed us different options and tips on how to cook the food. I also tried some egg potato chips and shrimp chips, both very good! They also offered different Kit-Kat flavors such as green tea and strawberry. Definitely check this place out if you're around. read more

Review for the seafood department. Tl;dr I felt like a non Korean person trying to get service at a Korean joint in ktown in the 90s Horrible service and disrespectful communication from the old China man with glasses. I get there may have been a language barrier but I ordered a crab to be steamed. I asked him how long will it take he says twenty minutes. So I was like bet okay. I goto checkout to run an errand at CVS and I come back in 26 minutes. He starts yelling at me about I need to come back after fifteen minutes. Huh??? I asked him you told me to come back in twenty minutes, he said fifteen? Respectfully. When did he say fifteen? And why is my crab not steamed? I was cordial and respectful, I'm asking him questions he half understands he starts getting angry? And he just throws an old man tantrum when I'm trying to clarify what happened and how the process was. His English was too broken to understand or for him to understand. Will not be coming to this market for seafood service as a non Chinese speaker because obviously he's frustrated I can't understand him but damn shouldn't I be throwing the tantrum? Rude service for non Chinese speakers and super disappointed. read more

Most people shop here for convenience. It's the neighborhood market. However, if you are not from around here, be careful as this market sneaky and unethical. They sell really old things and repackage old things to make it look new. Also their displays and pricing are tricky! Check out the picture below: the cans of butane were all packaged together and not displayed as single cans but priced at $1.99 a can. A not so saavy shopper would have to pay $8.00 for Each pack for cans. --- so this is one example of their sneaky pricing methods to gouge you. read more

168 Market - 1.99 for one can. But they sold in packs of 4. They should put $8 for the pack. - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Alhambra, California

Well it's your typical parking lot in SGV where you might get hit but you might get lucky and find a spot right up front. Large variety and lots of seafood. They have good deals occasionally as well if you check the weekly flyers. I find the store fairly well kept. Lots of frozen items and dried items for your cooking needs. This Asian market should definitely be on the grocery run list. read more

Its a spacious market and the labels are in english as well. read more

Giving one star for the amount of cigarette smoke I smelled in there!!! This place REEKS of cigarette smell that it felt like I just stepped into a casino in Vegas. It wasn't a pleasant shopping experience because of the smell throughout the store. Management, PLEASE PLEASE tell your employees to not smoke near the doors or at all. I'm sure it's coming from the old men in the meat/seafood department. Seriously, get that checked...I love coming here, but the smell is so off-putting. It's also a health risk to everyone shopping. There are kids in there and I brought my 8 month old with me today. This is not a safe environment for your paying customers. Secondhand smoke is real and is harmful! These old men don't care and are literally chain smoking with each other back there. read more

I'm not Chinese. Get a club card and you will get $1 off after you spend $2000 ~ yes, 2 grand..not kidding ~ the paper form is like a passport application ~hehe ~ yet, it feels amazing carrying the card and swiping it. It prolly means you know their methods~ hehe ~ I come here for the fruit which sometimes spoils too fast and the Beijing plain yogurt. Try the most expensive apples. Frozen durian box for $14 is the bomb! Amazing! My problem is I chit chat too much and slow down the line because I don't speak Chinese and they are trying to tell me something or sell me a bag but I ask for a box instead (like Costco) and there is no charge. You have to check in your backpack but not my murse at the door. The seaweed on the way out is ok quality. Get a bag of 10 as you're going in. It's about $8 The fruit is scattered all over. The priciest are placed front and center whilst you have to look for the less expensive kind. I'm hooked on their top notch apples even though one single small apple could cost like $4. For instance, you can get the Korean pear in a three pack wrapped at lower price than buying per pound. I purchased the pound one and it rotted in a few days. I bought again and found three center was blackish. The cashier told me the expensive apple is from Korea. Hey, the Red Hot Chili Peppers in a bungled wrapped case are really, really hot ~ omg! I love them. I get my kimchi here too. The pickles: They have Vietnamese variety. The baby pickles in a vinegar jar look funny like a worm but now I'm hooked. Also the pickled baby lotus roots are great. I don't know how to choose seafood or the meat. So, I think Hawaiian market is more booming for that. read more

Has all the ingredients I needed to recreate traditional dishes on tik tok. Everything is neatly organized and priced. The shop was clean and the staff was busy working, keeping the store stocked up. The deli had a hard time understanding me (English) but it's fine. Its ok. Very much like in Hispanic supermarkets, everyone usually only speaks spanish. I am putting this information out so that if you ONLY speak English and Need assistance, that you are RESPECTFUL and MINDFUL of the employees and culture. Have patience. My experience was great . I googled items I had trouble finding and searched for them based on the packaging photos that came up in the Google search. The Deli people got me set up but I am mindful of the language barrier and leave my negativity at the door. I really like this place!!! read more

Been my go-to market since I was a kid. They have a big section for fruits and veggies. The quality is usually always fresh. TIP: Check online for weekly deals. You can also sign up for a member card to rack up points. Prices are hard to tell between other Asian grocery markets. It's really a hit or miss on the items that are cheaper. Especially the fruits and veggies section. But I can say that 168 market usually has the better deals from my experience. For snackers: they don't have a big selection on chips compared to other markets, but they do have a small selection of korean soju. (Grapefruit, plum, and strawberry) was available when I went. Parking: it's located in a big plaza with CVS. So there are plenty of parking. read more

Don't buy their durian, I spent $65. Non refundable means even if bad inside they they give you back your money.

This is one of the cleaner asian markets out there. When I say clean, it's not Albertson's clean, but rather clean for an asian market. The exterior looks like an old western front which is kind of cool. The aisles are arranged pretty well with all fruits and vegetables at the entrance and the meat/fish department on the back wall. The aisles are really organized with the prepackaged food first, followed by household goods and then the refrigerated section towards the back. I shop this store from time to time, but I mainly go to their small dim sum section at the entrance. It's kind of a little dim sum place and pre-cooked duck/chicken place. It's actually very convenient especially if you aren't a big fan of crowded asian bbq places. The food is actually quite good. It's kind of funny that when I speak Cantonese to the lady she had no idea what I'm asking for but whenever another Cantonese speaking customer orders the same item I ask for she understands them completely. This is the only place I've been to that actually calls Chinese donuts crullers. Never heard of that before and when watching Wayne's Worlds I found out that that word actually exists. Pretty funny. Overall the market part of the place is just your standard Asian market. The winner here is the quick service dim sum place. Someday I'll get that membership card they keep asking me about. read more

Been going to this store to pick up exotic fruits thinking that this place is great because the convenience. Only to find out they are making extra money off everybody. All asian markets carry the same produce pretty much, but only to find out they are charging you different. Why? When you are buying anything from the produce aisle... PLEASE watch the the scales!!! The scales are not calibrated the same. Brought the attention to a store supervisor and he says that it's no big deal. The scale is off .07 pounds. Disappointed with this store. read more

I am writing this review directed to the manager. Please give my thanks and comments to your staff especially those at the deli/bakery area! Every time I go there, they are very friendly and greet me with a smile and appreciation! I used to go to another 168 market closer to home, until some staff said something not to my liking! The first time I visited your store, I was delighted to find not only a deli with fresh pastries, but also a few dim sum selections and bbq! I like to visit a number of stores including western markets like Trader Joe's! Just like Trader Joe's, your staff are very friendly and helpful! There's no name on the receipt, I checked out at 10:54:32 with a total of $26.04 at the deli! The lady was very polite! Thanks! It's a great start to a beautiful Sunday! read more

My significant other and I were roaming around Alhambra area in several grocery stores for food inspiration ideas of what to cook for Christmas Dinner. We perused around inside of 168 supermarket and my eyes were pretty much about to pop out of my head when I saw the seafood, especially the size of the lobster. LOBSTER, LOBSTER, LOBSTER! My significant other thought maybe it was the glass / plexiglass that makes the lobster look larger than it really is. I was hooked at that point like a kid in a candy store. I was already focused on which lobster to pick, cook, and eat for Christmas dinner. Patience is a virtue indeed. I waited by the tank to make sure I got the specific lobster I wanted. My significant other waited in line until he was up and then asked the gentleman to come over to me so I can point out which specific lobster I wanted. Of course, I picked out the lobster that had the fighting spirit and was climbing over all of the other lobsters. The lobster was a whopping 7.78 lbs. No joke! Significant other's dad steamed the lobster, and between the three of us, we were eating it for 3+ days. It was delicious. ENJOY! According to my significant other, this supermarket used to be a Vons before it became 168 market, so the size of the store is rather large. According to my significant other's dad, the people that are managing 168 market used to have a seafood business (hence the large size of the lobsters). read more

I did not see the venison either...They had Jack fruit and dragon fruit and their pork bellies looked pretty good.

Come here weekly for grocery shopping. My wife buys all the vegetables, meat and fish to prepare our weekly lunches. Produce prices are seasonal sometimes really low and very high. Goes up and from week to week. Great selection of instant noodles and ethnic snacks. Prices are lower than Ralphs, Albertsons, Vons. Be prepared to bag your own groceries, the cashiers are lazy as fuck and there's no dedicated bag person for each cashier. Unlike American supermarkets where the cashier bags your stuff as soon as they scan the prices. A Big Minus 2 Stars. read more
