After a quick lunch at Sam Woo BBQ, I walked over to 168 Market to see if Vua Kho Bo (primarily sells dried fruits and other goods) was inside it. I wanted to get some jujube (Chinese red dates) and black sesame candy. Well, VKB was not here. This market is located on Las Tunas Drive in San Gabriel. Plentiful parking. It's pretty big and bright inside. I ended up perusing the produce, meat, seafood, and bakery sections. Aisles were clean and organized. Shelves were well stocked. There weren't very many customers at the time. I was a little concerned for them. So many competitions nowadays. When I got to the seafood area, I saw the head shrimps were on sale for $4.99 per lb. That's a steal! They were very big shrimps. I got 3 lbs. I later walked through the freezer section. I saw monthong durian on sale for $14.99 per 14 oz box. I couldn't resist. I got 1 box. Gentleman staff at the seafood section was very helpful. Lady staff at the register was just okay and not the most smiliest. I came for Chinese red dates and black sesame candy, but ended up leaving with my top #1 favorite seafood and top #1 favorite fruit... shrimps and durian. It was indeed a win win visit! read more

This store also seems not too busy but we went around 7ish. They even have fifa items and durian chips. Lots of different snacks. The parking is kinda horrible in this plaza though. read more

We happened to be in the area and decided to stop here for a few items we enjoy cooking at home. The market itself is big, well-organized, and clean. Every shelf and display case was fully stocked. The employees, except the cashier, who asked whether we were paying by cash or card, were NOT friendly or welcoming in any way: no greetings, no eye contact, nothing. We felt as though we did not exist. I observed this treatment for ALL customers in the store, not just my wife and me, but everyone. Prices were just ok. Sale items were good, but everyday items were not as good. I can honestly say I will never return to this market, as it is rather far from our home. More importantly, I am big on customer service, and we did not receive it while shopping there. read more

I bought a steak on Sunday and today on Tuesday . When I opened the steak which has been kept in the fridge. I turned around the steak and se that the steak has already gone bad. No wonder they are trying to sell as special. But special doesn't mean Selling bad steak that has gone bad and flipping the bad side around to package it to mislead consumers. Will never go bad and buyers aware read more

168 Market - Straka that haven gone bad - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Surprisingly a good 168 market, pretty clean coming in and a good selection of food items and fresh ones. I came in to look for mooncakes to gift to our older generation of the family and friends, they have it all displayed near the entrance so pretty easy to find. So many selection, my son picked a modern style colorful mooncake that actually confused the receivers and thought they were toys... We explored the meat and seafood area where they still had some fresh live seafood such as shrimp, fish, and crabs. We also checked out the baked goods and they had some on sale due to being a day old! It's a nice place to explore as we wait for our dinner and table to be ready nearby. The staff checking us out was fast and helpful, also one of them went to get the bags for my moon cakes and before I knew it there was she was with the bags right as I checked out! I wasn't in a line for long too so it surprised me how fast she got them from another counter. read more

168 Market - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Stopped by this market to pick up some fruit since I've been eating crazy lately in this area. I like this store the best out of all the ones I've gone to in San Gabriel because it has a bakery and pastries are one of my weaknesses!! Not your typical Albertsons cakes and pastries either... 168 has lots of Chinese buns, pastries, cakes and Taro cake!!!! This market is located on Las Tunas, right beside Sun Nong Dan, where the Pizza Hut is at the corner. Plenty of parking in the morning, but not in the afternoons or evening since there are several other stores in this shopping area. Inside is clean and as I've mentioned, the best thing about it is the Chinese bakery inside!! And I'm sooooo going to try their baked goods later in the week. read more

The cashier was always spying and monitoring the customers. I can walk in Ralphs for an hour and no one cares but at this particular store, if you stay just a little longer, the white hair lady will then come walk around your isle and look at what you are doing. CHILL OUT LADY. read more

The store compares to Alhambra one, it's smaller. Parking can be challenging. Produce are the typical 168 grocery store.

Your typical Chinese Supermarket in the 626. They actually had a large parking lot BUT it still gets packed and people don't know how to drive. Large grocery store, spacious and clean inside and they offer a good variety produce available. Fresh and fairly priced. read more

This place has everything I love their fresh fish market I go and get clams. In the shitahi mushrooms pho noodles it is an amazing store I love it read more

Nice selection of produce that are harder to find in American grocery stores; however, the quality of produce is hit or miss. Purchased a large watermelon that felt firm on the outside, but the entire center was spoiled when I cut into it. $20 wasted. :( read more

It's freezing in here! The whole market temperature feels like a Costco freezer section! I was in and out quick! Been waiting to visit this location of 168 Market, but parking is no joke here in this busy plaza. I was dining nearby so I got a chance step inside the market for some snacks my daughter wanted... they didn't have her snacks but I thought this was a pretty cool market! Gotta love the cheap prices on Asian style veggies, herbs, fruit. The aisles were also clean and fully stocked! I'll be back for sure. Hopefully I can find parking! read more

This market is in a busy strip mall with limited parking and other popular businesses like Sam Woo, so parking is often challenging, but obtainable. The market itself is not as big or as nice as 99 Ranch or H-Mart, but they have a sufficient selection and decent to comparable prices for the area. The people who work here provide adequate service. It can get noisy inside when it is busy. Overall, 168 is a convenient place to shop if one of their chain locations is near you or on your way. You will likely find all or most of what you want here. Occasionally, you might need to go to a bigger Asian market for some items. read more

This market smells clean it's a San Gabriel Valley staple with exotic produce a bakery and prepackaged goods but I like that they sell exotic vegetable seeds . Service wise everyone in this store is friendly and helpful any request or interaction was met with enthusiasm. read more

168 Market is an SGV treasure. The grapes are so big and juicy they should come with a warning label. Cashiers treat your fruit like crown jewels--mine once rejected a rotten orange on my behalf (true love). And the snack/mooncake aisle? A glorious wall stacked to the ceiling--one wrong grab and it's instant avalanche. Parking's chaos, but worth it. read more

This 168 market is located in a busy shopping center next to the sun nong dan. It has all of the Asian food essentials and the prices are fair and reasonable. The store is the same cleanliness you'd expect any Asian supermarket to be but overall a good place to shop. Make sure to check the expiration dates of some products because I have seen some expired products on the shelves here and there. Overall I'd shop here again especially since the location is convenient and it has all the essentials that I always look for! read more

So I got here around 9:50PM and I just needed to pick up tofu and sunflower seeds. At the door, the guy pushing carts blocks me out of the entrance with a stack of carts and then says they're closed. I asked him oh, it says you guys close at 10PM though. He looks around and asks a lady next to him who is out of range, and she's like yeah yeah. And he looks back at me and says closed. It's only 9:52PM though. This place isn't very good in the first place and I don't prefer shopping here in the first place. I've gotten expired food here on accident as well. I was just picking up yogurtland and remembered I needed tofu for tomorrow. I think I'll stick to Hmart. At least quality and cleanliness is there. read more

It's one of the better Asian grocery stores. Prices are decent and there is a pretty wide selection of fresh seafood if that's what you're looking for. Don't expect too much from the guys behind the fish and meat section if you don't speak a lick of Chinese. read more

None of the stocking clerks speak English - I went to ask the clerks and1 just spoke Chinese to me and the other guy said "No English!" The place also smells of rotten fish especially if you get closer to the fish tanks. All I wanted to know was where they kept the butane for kitchen torches. Luckily another clerk was stocking the exact item I was looking for as I walked by his cart and I grabbed a couple and left. Never coming back. read more

Stopped by to check out their prices... they had lobster on sale for $10.99, so decided that I'll be back in two days to buy them. I also asked them when the sale ended and was told it would end on Thursday. I came back on Wednesday and the lobster price went up to $12.99. Looks like the sale ends on Tuesday and new sale begins on Wednesday. Either way, it was still cheaper than other places. read more

Beware... the cashier rang me up for incorrect vegetable pricing for 2 items resulting in an overcharge of more than $10. Luckily I checked the receipt before I entered my car. Don't know if this is a scam as they rang up completely different items. read more

I got suckered as I wanted to make my mom happy. $10.99 per lb for a durian. There was a sign that says: no refund on durian purchase. Now I realize, it's a scam. The fruit inside was bad, not edible, so even if bad quality rotten inside they will not take action to correct. I am so upset. $65 for durian fruit to make mom happy and this is how they treat their customers. It's okay, I will report them to the local food administration for selling dangerous and harmful products to the public. read more

Very nice supermarket with good prices and selection. And good customer service. And very clean. Definitely recommended.

8/13/24 I bought frozen Greenland Turbot $19.06. When I defrosted the water keep coming out even when I cooked. The big pieces of fish were shrinking to tiny pieces. I paid for fish or ice? They were falling apart and did not taste fish. 我買的冷凍魚$19。06，化冰後縮小了一半以上，我是買冰還是買魚？魚鬆散不成塊，沒有魚味。 read more

COVID-19: Social distancing is enforced at this establishment. All of the staff wears a mask. All customers are expected to wear a mask too. The staff also wears gloves. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available and open for customers to do their grocery shopping with limited capacity. They are also sanitizing in between customers. While I was grabbing my groceries from this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They also do not allow pets in their establishment. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is big; however, they do share a lot with several other establishments. Since it's a popular supermarket, this parking lot does get full very quickly and easily. The parking spots are small, so be careful where you park. Store: This store is clean, tidy, and neat. The aisles are wide enough for two carts to pass by each other. All items in the store are organized in a way that makes sense. Staff: The staff here is very friendly and welcoming. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum. read more

I can't believe these are expired and they still have them up for sale, and they put a markdown price too? No you guys need to throw this stuff out not mark it down and hope people don't notice. That's disgusting and the workers get rude too. Having conversations in-front of you. Not even offering a bag or common decency like "hi, how are you". And stop throwing my groceries towards me sliding it on the dirty counter. And please at least pretend like you want to bag my stuff. So rude, I just despise how they aggressively slide things down the counter read more

168 Market has a wide offering of items to satisfy any shopper. Even items I've never seen before in my life. One of my favorite departments in this market is the bakery section. Everything is made fresh and presented in the most enticing way, in a glass display case. The cakes here are my personal favorite, especially since they're not overly sweet and nicely decorated. Available in a whole or piece size servings. It goes without fail, I always get great service from the staff upon entering the market. Maybe I go there so much that everyone recognizes me and waves. read more

Worst seafood dept workers ! Sign clearly states seafood services such as Fish Frying ends at 8:00pm, i was there at 7:30p and was told they are closed as of 7:30p. They should update their sign to account for their lazy staff so there's no confusion This was completely Unprofessional & false advertisement read more

I have been shopping here for years and my husband loves to shop here, most of the time we don't have any issues with quality of the products and customer services however recently I encountered some problems with the same guy from seafood department. He is probably in his earlier 50th, I asked for the two live lobsters two months ago, he randomly picked two and I said they were too small and could I get two bigger ones? He became irritated and threw the two lobsters in the empty sink 10 feet away with attitude. Today it was thanksgiving and unfortunately he helped me again, this time he wrapped two lobsters quickly without letting me see, when I got home, one lobster is not moving and the other one was missing the big claw! I am speechless! I hope the management could see this review and retrain him with customer services. We were there today during 1-2 afternoon. read more

This is one of the newest Chinese supermarkets in San Gabriel. There is actually another one (original store) a couple of miles away also in San Gabriel. This market is well stocked and is clean since it's still new. I like how there are benches and tables outside for people to sit. But, parking is tough to find on weekends since everybody and their grandma's comes here to shop. The people working here are not mean nor nice. Yes, rude sometimes... but something to expect since they're Chinese... not to be mean. But I must give them credit for always trying to be helpful. Well, to come to think about it... the customers are actually the more rude ones. They'll push their carts into you, and won't apologize. I will be mad if somebody rammed my achilles and didn't apologize. Oh well. They do have good deals in their meats and vegetable departments. But, prices always fluctuates as the economy is unstable. Yes, it's in my neck of the woods... and it is why I come here sometimes. For the convenience. read more

Needed to pick up some items to make some dishes I was craving. Cleaner than I expected. I believe on a previous visit before Covid it wasn't quite as nice. I expected to be hit with strong smells by the seafood area but was pleasantly surprised that it was not the case. They had almost everything I needed. They carry almost everything you need regardless of which Asian cuisine you are shopping for. read more

Looks nothing like the run down Albertsons that was there a few months ago. Definitely have a lot of staff, and this place is basically an Asian supermarket mecca... They have a variety of cultures that cater towards 626 residents including Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and a little Japanese. Inside there is also a bakery that serves sweet treats as well as Bahn Mi for $2.68 or something like that. With the large amount of Asian residents in the area, I'm sure this place is going to do pretty well. read more

This market is new and caters to the Asian population in SGV.. so obviously, there will be a lot of embitterment among the non-Asians in the community. But what can you do? This is a great and convenient place for those of us who dread going all the way to Valley for cheap and diverse groceries. I like it because it's fresh and new, with great prices! We got soy milk and coca cola for spending more than $48 yay! I believe this place is worthy of replacing that Albertson's I used to love going to. But I feel bad for the businesses in the same plaza because it has to compete with it! haha. The only bad thing is a lot of the customers fit in with the whole "Asians can't drive" stereotype.. The parking lot's not as big as the Valley Blvd./New Ave. one so I guess I can't blame them. I would wait a few months for the hype to die down to come back, then it'll be quieter, hopefully. read more
