I had high hopes for this supermarket because they had a food court. I also automatically assumed that they had a bakery. If you are coming for either, please note that: - the food court only has three restaurants (and one was not open). The Vietnamese vendor had a lot of yummy offerings. - to my disappointment, there is no separate bakery. However, there are (a very small amount of) bakery items near the cashier of the Vietnamese vendor. There is a lot of variety of items, but at the same time, not the (staple) ones I'm looking for. Unless I was blind (cause that does happen a lot), but I wanted to get the European Style Ovaltine, the Hup Seng cream crackers, the 7D Dried Mangoes, and the Kadoya Hot Sesame Oil. Overall, like I said, there is a lot of variety items and ingredients (their tea isle is pretty impressive). But compared to other Asian supermarkets, this was a let down. read more

Great place to shop. Love the fresh produce, seafood, meat and refrigerated noodles packages counters. The seafood is fresh and was surprised that to find whole fresh flounder. The Banh mi store at the food court is my favorite place to buy the Banh mi dac biet ( cold cut). Great prices and selections. read more

Has everything i need. Cases of noodles not found at HMart Try not to talk to the cashiers. They are hella rude read more

The supermarket has a great selection of pantry items. I do like the variety and selection for dried goods, however it gets a bit tricky when it comes to the fresh produce and refrigerated items. Just make sure to read labels, and check the packaging before you purchase, as items may have been sitting a while. The fresh butcher is great, however again, just make sure you really get the fresher items, some items may have been sitting longer than intended. My husband and I often go here to get the Banh Mi at Ba Le rather than riding to Dorchester or Quincy. We really like Ba Le's banh mis, and that's often the plus here! read more

Service was abysmal and thet couldn't even provide a bag. Would never return. I don't think anyone should do business with them

While big, it is a touch more expensive in American groceries and sometimes cheaper for Asian produce. They have a large aisle of Asian snacks but mostly concentrated on Chinese and SE Asian snacks. Japanese snacks are a bit absent. They have lines for cash only and then checkouts for the rest which you wait. The fresh fish and seafood area is beside the produce. A small food court, too. read more

i finally checked out 99 market yesterday and gotta say it blew my mind their aisles are jam packed with everything from fresh ramen noodles to weird snacks i've never even heard of the meat and seafood counter is insane live crabs jumbo shrimp and huge cuts of pork everywhere just know you won't leave under $100 we grabbed dumplings a pack of wagyu beef and some bubble tea pearls and boom checkout was $$$ the place feels like a big walk-in fridge so bring a jacket or shop fast before you freeze they've got a tiny food court with 3 vendors i tried the stir fry place the portions were huge but seating is almost non-existent you end up eating in the aisle massive selection of asian + international foods top quality meat & seafood fair prices for these rare items read more

Came across this store since it's the closest Asian supermarket from home. Speaking about my shopping in there in general it wasn't a bad experience. The place is pretty clean and they have a pretty good selection of food. They also have some food court that have food if you get hungry. The reason behind my one star is that most of the drinks I got was expired. Wasn't able to take a picture of the other drinks I got but I got this strawberry milk. Everything is written in Chinese on this boxed drink. But I'm pretty sure that's the date. I don't know if they are taking advantage of the people not knowing how to read in Chinese characters or whatever but if people get sick drinking those expired beverages it's going to be in them. read more

99 Asian Supermarket - Expired drink. I got that on the month of October. - International Grocery Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

The worst shopping experience, hands down. Zero respect for customers. The cashier didn't speak any English. I bought a bag of rice, and at checkout, I noticed the bag was torn. The cashier took ten minutes to call the manager, and when the manager arrived, they immediately told me they needed to check the security footage to see if I had purposely damaged the bag. Even the customer behind me said they saw it wasn't my fault. After another ten minutes of waiting, the manager reluctantly told me, 'Fine, you can take a new bag of rice, but next time, don't take it out of the cart that way.' And then, the worst part: after another ten minutes of waiting, the cashier told me, 'No, you can't take the rice.' Honestly, I didn't even care if I could buy the rice. Even if they had told me from the start that I had to pay full price, I would have been fine with it. But after experiencing such disrespect, both to me and my time, I know I will never shop here again. The people here only care about making money and force the customers to take responsibility for every single loss. They have no respect for their customers and don't care about them at all. Strongly not recommended! I will never come back!" read more

I inadvertently found this grocery store a few months ago when I was driving around the Malden area. This is a very typical asian grocery store where you can find ingredients that various ethnics like Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino, Thai, Hispanic/latin, Haitian, and others use in their cooking. Don't expect services that you get at a Wholefoods. Do expect to save tons on your fresh fruits and veggies, fresh herbs and many others that Wholefoods would charge you a full paycheck. You will find meats and fish that come heads and tails. :D. The place is super busy. It can be chaotic and messy sometime. What I also love is that there is are a few eateries (Banh Mi, Sushi, Chinese) that you can eat there or get your food to go. This is a great place to bring your kids so that they can learn about other cultures and the type of food that others eat. read more

OK so my original review was removed because somehow they considered my information is not correct so I'm going to be very careful with my wording on this rewrite. I have frequented here more than a few times. I think the store needs to spend a little bit more time on cleanliness. The staff are on the rude side. I tried to get in yesterday I was wearing a mask actually I was wearing a double thick bandanna and brand new gloves that I put on in front of the man standing checking people at the front door. He stuck his hand in my face and said something in Chinese this was extremely rude I was surprised and stood there in amazement for a few minutes and then try to reenter and he just kept putting his hand out to block me. It was about 15 minutes later but I realized my bandanna was not sufficient to enter this establishment which was a bit silly since the fellow at the door head on a cheap throwaway surgical mask that is paperthin has no ventilation has no filter and has no protection it is a one time throwaway cheap mask that they keep on the front reservation desk of all the hospitals for people to go in and out real quick my bandanna was folded double thick and provides much better protection. My problem with this is not that I was not allowed into the store my problem is that he was rude actually extremely rude and was not able to tell me what the problem was so I wasted 15 minutes standing at the door trying to figure out why I was not allowed to get into the supermarket because I saw multiple people leaving, right now at Market Basket stop and shop Shaws Price Rite all of the other supermarkets one in one out as is at all the other stores that are open right now why did he not let me in? I do not know maybe they should have someone that can relay the message at the front door he did not speak English I'm assuming it was my bandana. I do a lot of shopping as do my friends and I one hundred percent will not be going back to this location because of the rudeness of this employee. There are many other Asian markets available in the neighborhood which cater better to their customers. Overall on my other experiences here the prices are average. It's in a shopping center so there's plenty of parking. If it's not an emergency I suggest you go to a different location cleanliness here is mediocre. They should close this place down always dirty work as a rude and ignorant maybe because I'm not Asian I don't know but no one certainly treats me like that and Chinatown where I frequent at least two or three times a week totally ignorant workers here especially the guy at the front door maybe they should put someone that speaks English at the front door so people that don't speak Chinese actually understand what they're trying to say instead of me waiting 15 minutes for him to finally figure out that might be in dinner isn't a good enough facial cover to go into a grocery store I'll definitelyRecommend that no one I know shops here anymore which is probably a good 50 to 100 people just for sheer rudeness read more

I've been coming here for the past 6 years. Their cafeteria food is bomb and is reason enough to make the 20+ min drive. They have the largest variety of Asian foods available around me including produce, seasonings, sauces, noodles, drinks and more. Service can be pretty straightforward but is expected when walking in. At checkout they will charge 20 cents per bag so if you're going to do some heavy duty shopping make sure to bring your own bags! Will always come back when trying to stock up on my Asian goods. read more

Long Overdue! You can catch me shopping here at least once a week. What can I say? They literally have everything I need. There are condiments, noodles, sauces that I can only find here. So many random items that I've sampled. Prices are pretty competitive to other Asian markets I visit. There's usually a sale of some sort and if you buy two of the same items you're given a discount. I have a good stock pile in my pantry for this reason. You can never have too many srirachas Lol. I also frequent the food court. There's about 4 shops total. My favorite dish is the chicken steak with lemongrass over tomato fried rice at Lucky Fast Food. Try it! You'll be hooked. You can also find egg tarts from Chinatown at the Pho Deli counter. They sell out fast so head there early! The market itself is well organized, pretty clean, and well stocked. Everything is easy to find. They provide ample parking. Have yet to encounter an issue. The lines can be a bit long at peak hours. I advise you to go early morning or evening if you're in a rush. The main complaint I have is of the employees. They never want to assist me even when I ask for help. Maybe it's the language barrier? A couple instances, I needed an item located at the tip pity top shelf but the gentleman didn't understand. I proceeded to take the ladder that was laying around and grabbed the item myself. Talk about how much scolding I got from his native tongue.... read more

Local and affordable Asian grocery store. Mostly Chinese focused inventory, but a few items from Korean, Japanese, and Indian cuisine can be found as well. Don't forget to bring your sustainable bags! COVID review: wear a mask, that's it. read more

Overall it is a good go-to grocery shopping place for Chinese residents. It sells all varied kinds of Chinese vegetables, snacks, diaries, and seasonings. It also provides additional choices about Korean, Japanese, and Indian groceries. In terms of pricing, the Chinese grocery is comparable with other Chinese supermarkets in the greater Boston area. It is slightly more expensive than other newly opened supermarkets in Quincy, but it is more convenient for residents who live on the north shore of Boston and even in New Hampshire. The business hours usually start from 9 AM until 7:30 PM, which is not correctly reflected on Yelp. The business owners definitely maintain their hours more on Google maps. They no longer provide paper or plastic bags for free. Please make sure you bring in your own if you want to save a couple of dollars on wrapping up. read more

Alerting all Shoppers: This store refused to allow my father and his service dog into the store! He was able to provide all documentations including service animal tags and his dog was still refused to be allowed into the store. The lady at the counter rudely ignored him without any understanding of the American with Disabilities Act. When asked to speak to store manager, she ignored me. Very disappointing! Will report business to the U.S. Department of Justice. This is unacceptable! read more

Every time I go here I can't help but pick up some Of the most useful, delicious and random food items! I love this store! The store carries items you typically won't see in any nearby market. Also, the food court is great, especially the ramen shop I definitely recommend anyone looking for Asian food items or just looking to spice up your cooking or taste buds to come down and try out 99 Asian Supermarket, you definitely wouldn't regret it! read more

Be aware! We bought fried tofu there, and found out there were molds all over the food (pic 1), we went back to return. However, they initially denied our request. They told us we didn't stored well and their staff referred to us as "problem makers". We went to their shelf and found more molded foods (pics 2), they finally agreed to refund our food, but we rejected them and decided to expose this. Their staffs have a really bad attitude, and many of their foods are expired or don't have MFD on them. Please shop somewhere else unless you really want Asian foods and molded foods. read more

Love this place - way better than super88. The worker always helps me find where things are whenever I ask. They have decent house appliance items and plates as well as electronic devices. I got an usb lamp for $9.99 and you can charge your phone with it! It's great!!! Veggies are fresh and big selection of seafood and meats. Overall pretty well organized and clean. Pretty international selection of other Latin and Korean and Japanese seasoning! read more

I wanted to update this review. The market has good selection of products, especially anything that is packaged. What this place is missing is good customer service or care about how their products are presented to customers. I purchased a previously frozen tilapia fish. After cleaning my fish, the fishmonger only used one plastic bag to hold my fish. Normally, at Hmart, they will use two plastic bags. So, I went to grabbed a second plastic bag from the produce section. Luckily, I did that because the fish punctured the first plastic bag and there were pools of blood in both bags. I never see this when I get fish at Hmart. It was so disgusting. Later, my husband steamed the fish and said it was not fresh. He cooks fish regularly and can tell when it's not quite right. Also, as I was checking out, the cashier didn't make an effort to wipe down the counter, and all of my dried goods got wet! It was so disgusting. I had to say something to her. She seemed rather clueless. I get the sense that the management doesn't train their employees at all about proper hygiene when dealing with raw or wet items. It's disappointing to see the lack of care to the products and customers. read more

Zero star would be the appropriate for this business. I go to this store frequently, I know the customer service is bad and staffs are rude and unprofessional evert time I visit. I don't Care about that much until it happened to me again, yesterday I saw this long Japanese yam in the store, they have it on both packaged and the loose one. I decided to buy the loose one and went to the counter to make a payment. Somehow that yam split on to half in the basket, when the cashier rung the yam, she charged me $16 for 2lb. I did not understand her English I was thinking that weight 8lb, I told her can you take that out, she said since I broke into halves they are not going to take off . I keep insist her to take out but she did not. She called someone else I guess supervisor or whoever, again they both ignore my request. Later I decided to take it, when I came home and check the receipt, they over charged me for that yam. There was a clear sign for 3.99/lb and they charged me double. This is the first time ever happened to me ever in this grocery store, it wasn't the cook food just for the loose root vegetable they did not void the item. Never going to shop there any more. My request to everyone please double check your order before you checkout, they might over charge you. read more

The reason I gave one star is because the mini moon cake I bought here today is bad , I think the oil for making this product is bad . They should stop selling this crappy product , 2 for $3.50 to lure customers to buy this awful food shows they don't care about what they are selling , don't care about repeat customers either . read more

Poor service, low quality products and expired food. Recently I had a really unpleasant experience at 99 Asian Supermarket in Malden. The thing is I bought a cooking pot few weeks ago and the handle of the pot broken while I was cooking after only one week using. I went to market customer service to solve this problem but they reject me in a rude attitude. They claimed that the pot is not produced by market so they take no responsibility on this. They even kept on recording my girlfriend and me by a phone while we were in the market. read more

I don't understand the low rating. They are extremely clean compared to the other local store. Everything is very organized and well stocked. The employees are so very kind and try to help the best they can even if they can't understand they work hard to help you. Soooo much variety and amazing deals. I love the unique snacks and love trying something new every time I come. Fish on certain days is fresh out the water other days.its good but I have gotten a few bad ones . Not rotten but the start of having a fishy smell. Always look for crystal clear colored eyes on fish. Not red. Especially not cloudy. We love it. For my kids and I we come here as a hobby hahahaha. We love getting canned bubble tea, seaweed snacks and can make so many meals from the fresh vegetables and tons of dumpling etc choices . Our absolute favorite place now for over 10 years read more

Took out the bunch of ong choi we got two days ago from 99 from the crisper drawer to make dinner tonight.. only to discover the entire center was rotten and slimy.

Definitely a decent and good sized supermarket with a lot of option. A minimum at the cash register to pay for a debit card. The HUGE downside to this place is there is no cart return in the parking lot for shopping carts. So when I came out to my car it looked like someone slammed a cart into the front of my car. This was not the only loose shopping cart. It seems as if the store does not have someone picking up these carts nor are the shoppers very considerate or friendly of other customers vehicles. read more

This place is awesome and have a huge selection of food. Support the small business restaurants during these covid times

So when this place opened I was like Ugh, whatever... Not realizing how lucky one day I would soon become. So it has been open some time & I always "Meant" to get there but it just was never happening, but then one day I needed something (Fish) related & thought I should run in... Now I had read many reviews on Yelp about the place so I knew there was a food court like area... So I go in & you enter through what was the Exit when it was Stop & Shop and Heartland & Purity Supreme so I instantly feel like Im walking the wrong way (Hahaha, Heartland!!!) So I get in & the smells immediately make me hungry, you can smell all the bakery items (as its right near the entrance) and the food court smells... So I am only there for my one thing & not truly hanging out this trip so I run right to the GINORMOUS fish/seafood section & instantly find several options for what I want. There was soo much there, so many options... I happened to walk through Produce & it was also HUGE and all the items looked so good & fresh. I def plan to come back VERY soon and do I big shopping, the prices were cheap, the quality looked great. The amount of fresh fish was great. Cant wait to go back! read more

I've been shopping here for about 2 years. They used to have a "Cooked Meats" area by the food court. But that was an independent vendor who's since pulled out. They used to have pastries, through Eldo Cake in Chinatown. Now that has ended. They used to have fresh made Rice Noodle (Chow-Foon), but they no longer carry it. I'm wondering if this is a sign that things aren't going well for the "99 Asian Market". read more

Hurray. Finally an alternative to 88 and Hmart. It was quiet (on Easter Sunday), but it is extremely clean (for a Chinese Supermarket) and I found some hard-to-find Sichuan hotpot sauce brand spices. Even the vegetables weren't junk - Watch out other markets. Hopefully this place can keep it up. It is close enough to my home. read more

I took two stars off because they don't have shrimp crackers. Seriously? Every asian market has shrimp crackers! The crackling ones that you can find in Indonesia...sigh.. ok I know that's a preference but come on! Other than that it has what you need. A food court (definitely a plus so I added back a star LOL), a wide seafood and meat counter and a very wide frozen food section. I don't like going by the end of the seafood line where I see more exotics for sale and sometimes it's hard to look at the seafood section in general because I feel bad for the fish. BUT other than that they have a wide selection of asian ingredients in large aisles. Definitely worth a visit - and stop by the food court you won't be disappointed. read more

I have been shopping here for a month.I felt that it was worth going even tho some things were strange.I bought a pair of slippers for $2.99 they were sized wrong so I brought them back.They wouldn't let me return them without a receipt. After I told them I just wanted to exchange them they said no.I explained I brought the wrong receipt and didn't live in Malden and couldn't make it back for another week.They said it would be ok. I returned a week later with a receipt.The same women went crazy on me and said she was going to call the police with her phone ECT.All of a sudden no one spoke English and lots of Asian speaking people were felling me around the store yelling in there languages that I didn't understand.It was awfull! They have a-10 in coustomer service. Some spelling is wrong but my T-Mobile phone won't let me correct it.Took pictures of all the mean people in there store..I asked for the manager over ten times he's never there.Thats what they told me. read more

No real complaints about this Chinese Supermarket. Yesterday we stopped in after shopping in the area and I have to say that we actually loved this supermarket. Some of the high points were their selection of fresh seafood and meat as well as their decent selection of hard to find fruits. When it came to their other merchandise, I thought that they had an incredible selection at reasonable prices. The only true complaints I had were around the service and parking lot. The service here was a bit lackluster and it seems like the staff has limited tolerance for questions. Additionally, the parking lot was a mess and we almost got hit twice. In the end, I loved this place and will be back, but I will make sure that we come prepared with limited questions. read more

Their items are very sufficient. And during the pandemic, they require wearing gloves and masks to ensure safety and social distancing.
