My husband likes to get meat here. He wanted to make kabli, so we stopped by here to get some meat around 4:51pm. Unfortunately it was sold out. We came too late. Next time, we know we have to come earlier to buy the meat. read more

25th Irving Supermarket - International Grocery Near Me - San Francisco, California

Welcome to the 1960s! It's not just the decor which is dated but it's the 1960s for all sorts of wonderful reasons including lower prices on many items including fresh fruit, rice and canned goods. The store is very clean and the staff is kind. The cashier waited patiently and smiled when my son dashed back out to the vegetable and fruit bins lining the store to grab "double honey oranges" (he wanted to be sure I okayed him buying them.) I only bought a half pound of pork from their meat department but it wasn't adequately trimmed so I had difficulty slicing it for a stir fry - plus they were gruff (thus the loss of one star). Reliable grocery store in Parkside, I recommend. read more

Great Asian market in a residential neighborhood which makes it very convenient. I have needed help locating certain items and the see ice has always been great. I am always impressed when coming here to see the wide variety of sauces to choose from. The prices are very reasonable and comparable to other large Asian markets. Fresh fish available here as well. I would have given five stars but when I arrived 35 minutes after they opened, they were still setting up. It was a holiday weekend so there were other customers waiting around. read more

I understand lots of supermarkets pack their groceries in individual bag, so less touching, more sales. However, they should offer the option for customers to buy less. Today I was trying to buy a bell pepper and chili. They are all packed in a bag by bulk. So I take one bell pepper out of bag and few chilies. Went to cashier told the lady I want buy one bell pepper instead whole bag, since it's just by weight anyway. She said, has to be whole bag, I told her she can charge me more (understand the bundle deal), was $1.29/Lb, I suggested $1.99/Lb. Guess what she said afterward.... "NO, WILL BE DOUBLE THE PRICE"!!!! I walked out the store without saying a word read more

Very helpful workers. I was waiting in line and asked if they have something and the lady at the cash register told the lady to help me find it. I appreciate that. -Honest review! read more

UGH I'd give them no stars if I could. Honestly don't know what happened to this grocery store (formerly known as Sunset Super) but it's one of the worst I've been. Gone are the discounted fruits and veggies, and in are the rotting foods, high prices, and very rude staff. I'd also like to know why they chose to employ a "security guard" at the door; basically a normal man standing in the already small and very narrow doorway marking receipts without reading it, checking bags, etc. I feel this money could be spent towards fresher produce, better staff, and just everything in there in general. As much as I dislike commenting on this, it does seem they are selective when checking also; my parents they do not, the grandma's and grandpas they do not, me when I come alone they do, the young non-Asian couple they do. Not to mention this clogs up the flow at the entrance and again, serves no purpose at all. Regarding items inside, much of their shelf items are near expiration so be sure to check those carefully before picking them up. I recently ran out of my favorite vietnamese ground coffee and every single one on the fully stocked shelf, was expiring in a little less than a month (imagine how long it's been sitting there!). The meats and seafood are discolored; the meats are rarely pink, and mostly gray especially if you go later in the day. I very strongly do not recommend this grocery store, will not be back, and it's very unfortunate how it's gone downhill over the years. read more

The older man at the meat counter is extremely rude. I asked for a specific piece of meat, and he refused to give it to me and proceeded to give me a piece that looks like it's been sitting for quite some time. We went back and forth for quite awhile. I know he understood me because I spoke Chinese to him. I had to call one of the workers from the back to help me. This has happened several times and I've had enough. I will be going to the one on 40th and Vicente from now on. read more

I recently purchased rib eye slices for hot pot, dated 12/30/24, and had a troubling experience. Whoever sliced the meat wasn't paying close attention, as we found thin strips of plastic packaging mixed in with the meat. We didn't realize this until we added the meat to the broth, and saw clear and black plastic strips floating to the top. Upon closer inspection of the remaining meat in the container, it was clear that the plastic packaging used to wrap the rib eye had been sliced along with the meat. If it hadn't been for the black plastic, we might have mistaken the clear strips of plastic for glass noodles or fat, and potentially ingested it. This is a serious oversight that could have led to a dangerous situation. read more

I live right near this market. There is a regular stream of blood, trash, and boxes of produce near their loading dock and I've seen how everything gets handled. You couldn't pay me to shop here. Employees eat and smoke next to the unloading dock sitting on the ground. The sanitation and care of the products couldn't be worse in my opinion. read more

Three weeks ago, I bought two packages of Shanghai noodles; used one that night, and put the other in the fridge (the use-by date was April 14). I pulled the second package out last week and found small patches of mold under the plastic wrap. I'm guessing maybe the noodles hadn't been refrigerated correctly? Worse, when I went back to the market and was in a checkout line, planning to return the package, I saw a mouse darting in and out from beneath the counter. (When it made a break for the counter at the front of the store, I pointed it out to the checkout woman, who shrieked--a sign that mouse sightings are not an everyday occurrence? I hope so!) They did offer me a fresh package of noodles, but...no. I'll get them somewhere else from now on. read more

This is not an ordinary store. Customers are watched closely whether you bring in your own shopping bags, whether you pick up more of the store's thin plastic grocery bags than you really need, and the like. Don't expect to be greeted by the cashier, get used to having the change dumped at you on the belt by the cashier, and worse yet, do expect to have someone who the cashier knows in person cut right in line right in front of you to get checked out while they have a warm and long chit-chat with the cashier. That is to say, if you don't know the cashier, don't expect a fair treatment. Unprofessional, unfriendly, untrained, and unfair is the store. In this place, wrong is right if you don't know them, especially the cashier. read more

A complete hit or miss but it is practically a one stop shop (although arguably all of Irving between 22nd and 25th is). Sometimes the meat and produce here is so unbelievably cheap and delicious (like when we got super tender chicken legs for $0.99/lb and delectable dark Bing cherries for $1.99/lb) but other times things are clearly cheap because theyre on the brink of expiration. So if you are buying fruits and veggies here definitely triple check for mold. With that said some people purposely buy the expired produce because it is significantly cheaper... The collection of snacks and sauces (there is an ENTIRE AISLE dedicated to sauces!) here is bomb dot com. I am obsessed with these crackers that are flavored with salted duck egg and I can't find them anywhere else. There's a good selection of che too if you come early enough. There's a small parking lot across the street too which is nice (although it's usually filled up during the busiest hours)! read more

My mom came in here to get some groceries to bring home after eating dinner nearby. This market has most Asian stuff you need including fruits, veggies, snacks, meat, seafood, noodles and all other items. The market is dirty and not kept well as most in SF. Found a couple horseflies around the apricots. I have read comments on how the employees and cashiers can be rude and indifferent. This is usually common due to culture. My mom got her stuff and checked out. She doesn't care about all the things detailed above. She is just satisfied to shop for the items she wanted. She lives in Marin County but on occasion is in SF and brings stuff home since she is near all of these shops. read more

I just found out we got double charge of $25.70 on my card this is stealing money from people. This store is also disgusting no restrooms for the costumer. I'd rather go to Safeway or Andronico just got rob from this store the clerk double slide my card I will never going to buy any single grocery here. Also the meat quality is very bad.!!plus I bought a watermelon here last year & the just to find out the water melon was rotten that is why the put it on sale. read more

I would give it no star if I could. They treat their customers as thieves. Some of their cashiers are super rude!! And they charge you for regular price when the items are labeled "on sale." And their items are more expensive than other stores! The fresh fish looks rotten. They do not have customer service -- when you encounter problems, everyone works there just tell you that the store manager is on vacation! read more

Reminds me of a Vietnamese store I used to frequent in San Diego - pungent fish smell. Dirty floors. But great options. It is hard to decide between the variety of Asian stores up and down Irving. If you're smart, you'll notice the price differences: today I snagged heads of cauliflower at Sunset Super for $0.79. Over at 22nd and Irving Market, they're more than a dollar. It is a little thing, but it adds up with every item. I love the "pasta" section here because it is every type of Asian noodle along this huge aisle, and then this tiny selection of macaroni noodles. No pasta sauce or parmesan. This is a good market with lots of produce and fresh meat, too. Friendly cashiers who do their jobs quickly. read more

The aisles are narrow and can fit one shopping cart, a small shopping cart. You'd have to dodge one another if met inside the aisles. So, it's really a three-star Asian grocery store with decent pricing (http://static1.px.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/e_PWr6IvqcCm-7dPlqfTww/l) - more so during sales (http://static1.px.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/HDjE1oPtL3mymGB0zjL0_Q/l). But, it's out of the way to get to and has limited parking, although its own parking lot across the street helps (otherwise, metered parking as this is Irving St.). I'd return only if in the area and needed to grab something for home. read more

Me: Do you want anything from the Asian market? Roommate: Snacks? Otherwise I'm good. I proceed to send him a pic of my purchase: *Pocky: Chocolate cream & Strawberry cream ($2.99 ea) *Pejoy: Green tea ($1.99) *Shrimp chips ($2.49) *Sapporo ichiban noodles ($0.69 ea) Yes, this is why I love Asian markets! Their assortment of Asian snacks! This was also the first time I've seen Pejoy, which is a version of Pocky, except with the flavoring in the middle. And yes, the roommate eats Sapporo noodles as a snack. While in the bag, break the noodles into pieces, pour in the flavor packet, shake and there you have it! Like dried ramen bites! Weird, but he loves it! So why only 3 stars? This market is poorly constructed. The aisles are super narrow, so it's hard maneuvering around the market. It was a pain getting around people browsing the aisle. Even with just a shopping basket. Not my favorite Asian market, but will do when I'm in the neighborhood. read more

FYI THEY HAVE RATS If I were you I would not shop here! it's dirty and disgusting! the customer service is really bad, I tried asking three different people where something was they looked confused and they all shook their heads. I could tell they were unwilling to answer. Also for some reason, every single piece of vegetable or fruit is wrapped with plastic, which is unnecessary and makes it so you can't buy the amount you want. When I went to the front counter to check out, the woman took my basket and turned it over. She drop everything out, I had a cake on the bottom and she destroyed it. I had just bought it from the bakery next door. I thought they would at least offer to pay me for the cake that she destroyed they said no. What if I had eggs in there?.. she didn't bother to take a look at all as she was moving too fast. As she was checking me out she charged my card a receipt came out, but for some reason, she swiped my card again?! She said it didn't go through and it wasn't going to charge me twice. I checked my bank account two days later and I was charged twice! The icing on top of the cake, I had purchased two soups in individual packets, I hadn't noticed that one of the soups was chewed open from the corner eaten by RATS! The woman in the front is the person that pointed it out to me. After seeing that my soup was eaten by a rat I walked outside turned around and took a good look at the store. I noticed that there was a bunch of garbage, and nasty boxes all pushed up against the glass. this place is grossly unprofessional and rude! read more

i spent a while going between grocery stores looking for chinese pickled mustard greens. this shop not only had it but had two varieties. compared to New May Wah in the Inner Richmond, Sunset Super has a better selection of frozen foods (including very tasty egg custard buns) and is generally less crowded. there are some flies. if you're doing chinese cooking, they will probably have everything you need at a good price. read more

This was easily the lowest priced fruit market I've seen in San Francisco. I loved the great selection of very low priced fruit. I love fruit!!! Cans of coke were also under $1. The problem was in the fall, by the first night so much fruit that looked great that morning, already looked terrible and had to be tossed (into compost). I had to stop shopping there. read more

Theres a few things that I don't like with the new takeover...... I believe they went through new owners as the consistency of the produce and packing change. As other reviewers have mentioned. 25th Sunset uses an INSANE amount of plastic and styrofoam to package their fruits and vegetables. Before the new owners took over. Produce was priced per pound and you're able to pick what you wanted and the amount you wanted. Now with everything packaged, you would think its priced PER PACKAGE but its still per pound by package. If you're going to buy meat, buy it and make it the same day or next day. Plan to stock it in the fridge for the next couple days? You're risking it. Typical smelly supermarket, whatever happened to the old owners. I miss them. I felt as if they held a higher standard with the fruits and veggies. read more

This market is very dingy & should be sanitized. I wish they would clean it up, you can see a lot of flies in the produce section. All of the sections could use a clean up too. Also I don't like the fact that they package their produce in a bunch of plastic and styrofoam and mark it at a cheaper price than "loose" produce. Sometimes I think since they're a bigger market they'll have better prices but that is not the case. I have found they're actually more pricey than the other way smaller markets on Irving. Definitely shop around for better pricing. Sometimes I'll come here if I'm on a time crunch and I know they have a product rather than walking all over Irving to find a product. read more

Great supermarket, low price, great produce. Service is great and the workers are very friendly and nice, also for ambiance too.

I purchased something that showed $4.99 but the charged me $5.39. I complained and they told me I was wrong, so I guide the person to where I got the fishball and it clearly showed $4.99. Everything in the shelf was $4.99 but when they rung it up $4.99....... WATCH OUT EVERYONE THEY MIGHT BE CHARGING MORE THAN WHAT IT SHOWS...... read more

Have to leave my review again as the mods took my last one down. I don't understand their covid policy. Got asked to wear a mask which is fine, but I was just there a week ago and unmasked and nobody said anything. The only note they have referring to it is dated February. They are the only business in the area that enforces them. All I'm saying is that the business lacks consistency. read more

Just went down to the Sunset Super aka 25th Ave Market. Normally I expect poor service from this Asian market, but today was a whole new level. I went to purchase a few items and upon standing in front of the meat counter no one acknowledged my presence. Everyone looked at me but no one ask if they could help me. This went on for more than 5 minutes so I returned the shopping basket to the stack in front of the door and took my business elsewhere. I would rate this shop with no stars if I could! read more

Do not go here. I repeat Do Not Go Here. Every time I've gotten produce here it's gone moldy within a couple days. Usually I'd just throw it out and chalk it up as a loss until one day I bought some mushrooms that aren't cheap which molded within the next day. I brought the mushrooms back on the 2nd day asking for a refund or exchange just for them to tell me that there is a one day return policy on groceries. ONE friggin day!!! It's like they're admitting to selling old expired groceries that they know will go bad within a day. I'm encouraging everyone to avoid this place at all costs. There are much fresher and honest businesses up the street. Do not let these scammers steal your money. read more

Asian supermarket. The ambiance and service are not so good. No restroom for customers.

Amazing selection--keep in mind it's a 5 dollar minimum for credit card. They truly have everything at a decent price!
