My husband is Chinese and so we come here to get most of our groceries as well as specialty items. On top of being a grocery store, they also have a huge meat and seafood section with fresh seafood and live seafood. They also have a restaurant section where you can get freshly cooked duck as well as restaurant style food. The prices are pretty incredible and they also have dim sum. This is definitely the top market for Asian specialty items and their produce is really nice and fresh. The service is OK. The ambience is lively and busy. read more

99 Ranch Market - Grocery Near Me - Concord, California

had a very uncomfortable experience at checkout today. Their POS system repeatedly failed to process my card, and instead of clearly explaining the issue, the cashier kept saying "it's over the limit," which was both misleading and unprofessional. My card was not over the limit, and the issue was clearly with the payment terminal or transaction processing, since another card worked immediately. What made the situation worse was that another customer behind me loudly commented, "she spent too much," in front of everyone. This was incredibly rude and inappropriate. The cashier did nothing to manage the situation and instead became defensive. Payment issues can happen, but staff should be trained to communicate clearly and professionally--especially when a customer is already in an uncomfortable situation. Public embarrassment should never be part of the checkout experience. Very disappointing. 今天在大华结账时经历了一次非常不愉快的购物体验。 结账时，店里的POS机连续几次都无法刷过我的卡。收银员没有清楚解释问题，只是一再重复说"over the limit"。但我的信用卡并没有超额，后来换了另一张卡立刻就刷过了，说明更可能是机器或支付系统本身的问题，而不是我的卡有问题。 更让人不舒服的是，排在后面的顾客当着大家的面大声说"她花太多了"，明显是在公开揣测和评论我的消费情况。这种行为非常没有礼貌，也让人感到被冒犯。整个过程中，收银员没有及时制止或缓和场面，反而表现得很防御，让原本只是一次普通的支付问题变成了一场令人尴尬的公开羞辱。 刷卡失败本来是很常见的小问题，但收银员至少应该具备基本的沟通能力，能够准确说明情况，而不是用含糊且带有误导性的表达让顾客陷入尴尬。更重要的是，在顾客已经明显不舒服的情况下，工作人员至少应该表现出基本的专业和尊重，而不是放任旁人随意评论顾客的消费。 read more

I came here for ginger snacks. I wanted the ones in the Chinese wrappers, the ones that are dried soft ginger, but all they had was the soft processed chews candy ginger. I don't like them as they are processed and stick to your teeth. I like the more natural kind. It appears they don't have the Chinese wrapped candies anymore, the ones where the package is mostly in Chinese. It's now all Americanized. For a Thursday afternoon they were quite busy, and the parking lot was full. I found a space to the side, so it wasn't bad. read more

99 Ranch Market - Beware fake weight to add onto price. - Grocery Near Me - Concord, California

A 99 Ranch Market in Concord. A much better 99 Ranch Market than the Richmond location. Plenty of parking in this nice shopping center in Concord. I found that this 99 Ranch Market is better than Richmond due to the how maintain the store is. Their shopping cart isn't damage. They do keep their store clean. The selection of hot food is good. They surely make sure that the food is still good and warm when you pick. I have not gotten bad service at this location. I have gotten good service and I was able to get help finding something here. read more

Yeah. Everything is just OK. The grocery is OK, a bit chaotic. The hot food station-dim sum section has OK food. My problem is it TASTES very fatty and mushy, like cheap dim sum. Nothing there blows my mind. It's all meh to hard pass. There's a bakery I have not tried, but it's so close to my favorite bakery-85 degrees- I am never tempted to try baked goods at Ranch99. I do like the roast duck, it's decent, probably the biggest draw for me here. read more

Just bought 2 Skate Wings. OMG cooked them and they stank of ammonia. Yuck, avoid the fish counter. My experience of this place didn't help in seeing blood drippings down their food aisles. Asked where their Nishiki rice was? Met with a vacant expression from their employee and no answer. Security guard gives the impression all their patrons steal... especially the rice! The meat is expensive. Save yourself some time, go to Costco. Vegetables and the bakery are the only things that are consistently good, except the usual staples. Can't wait for a decent Asian grocery store in the Bay Area to compete. read more

Dim sum from the self-serve hot food deli station was okay but the sesame balls are getting smaller. I did not get to try the other self-serve hot cooked food. read more

Been going to this store since it opened years ago. What happened!??!!!! The service is HORRIBLE now! The people behind the food counter don't want to serve customers. If you don't speak Chinese, don't go there. They stand around joking and doing nothing. Management are not doing their job apparently. read more

Small Snails in my Japanese spinach I've never seen anything like this from what I could research I decided to just toss it because I was to hesitant to try to use it. I was so excited to come home and make dinner to only have to run out to go get some different spinach. read more

The store is very spacious. There were so many options, and I ended up saving a lot on groceries!

I went to the lunch area to buy char siu (roasted pork) and asked for duck sauce on the side to go with it. They refused to give me any, even when I offered to pay extra. Because of that, they lost my sale.. I won't be buying from this lunch area location again. It's frustrating that they are so stingy about something as small as sauce, especially when I'm a paying customer. They act as if giving out sauce would put their job on the line. At the end of the day, I just wanted to enjoy my food, but their attitude made the whole experience unwelcoming. read more

The one star is for the drinks that we received. I bought 2 iced Vietnamese coffees and a citrus tea. The citrus tea was fine. However, the coffees were terrible. My husband and sister-in-law wanted it and then from the first sip, they said it tasted off. So I tried it out, and it was sour and tasted like hazelnut as well for some reason. I went to the lady who made our drinks and she gave me the bottle of the premix stuff she had used to make it so I could sniff it. It smelled fine, but it didn't change the fact that the drinks were sour. I don't know if it was the milk they used, if the coffee was incorrectly brewed, but it was nasty. I went to customer service to get a refund as the lady instructed, and the guy at the counter said he couldn't give me a refund because there was nothing wrong with the coffee. He said that he and the lady smelled it (not tasted it) and said there was nothing wrong. I would advise against getting any coffee products from this location. The customer service was abysmal too. I understand needing to go back to double check the product, but we barely drank the coffee and we were unhappy with the purchase. read more

99 Ranch Market - The coffees that we barely sipped - Grocery Near Me - Concord, California

It's a challenge to not come here when they are the biggest Asian market on this side of the tunnel. The variety of items is good, the brands of the items are good and they have lots of produce and seafood. The downside is that quality is lacking in some aspects. Today is a perfect example where the person behind the counter grabbed the chicken bun for me and I could see that it was over steamed. I know, I should have asked for another one but I hate being one of those ladies. Still, where is the quality control? Last year, I came here for fresh crab because the price was right. Unfortunately, my crabs were lacking in flavor as the crabs are in the racks with city water running through their tanks. I ended up hauling to Oakland Chinatown where the crabs were just coming off the truck. Big improvement in taste because their crabs had sweetness and the salty ocean taste every time. The orderliness seems to be changing here as the end caps of the aisles in the back are no longer stacks of boxes versus shelving. I appreciate that they appear to hire the locals because not every employee is Asian. So, I'm not a fan of their dim sum because the skins are thick and lacking in flavor. We have had the roasted duck and not enough flavor for me. Parking is great but very busy on the weekends Watch yourself because people drive crazy. read more

99 Ranch Market - Wet bun - Grocery Near Me - Concord, California

As a Filipina, I know the struggle of finding authentic ingredients for my favorite Asian dishes. Mainstream grocery stores like Safeway just don't cut it when it comes to specific items, so I'm grateful to have 99 Ranch Market so close by! I go here weekly, and I always see a lot of older Asian folks shopping too--it's like a community hub. I love that I can get everything I need for my recipes right outside my doorstep. The quality of ingredients is consistently high, and the service is always on point. The employees at the fish counter are especially great; they're attentive and flexible with custom orders, making sure I get exactly what I need every time. The cashiers are friendly, and it's clear they're happy to help. I'm also glad to see more Asian businesses popping up in the area--it's great for anyone who wants access to a variety of Asian foods. Highly recommend 99 Ranch if you're looking to bring authentic Asian flavors into your home! read more

Great finds for vegan and plant based. Natural and seeded fruits and vegetables. Things you can't find at local chain grocery stores.

I've occasionally come here for the dim sum. The quality is ok, nothing great but good enough. What I liked was the size of the dim sum...they were jumbo size, so it was a good deal. Well, I went today and was very disappointed. THE DIM SUM ARE NOW MUCH SMALLER, maybe by 50%. It looks like management decided to increase their profits by making the portions smaller. So, today was probably my last visit to Ranch 99 for dim sum. read more

Yeah as someone who's been to many Ranch 99 locations (Hostetter, Oakridge, Milpitas, Cupertino Village, El Cerrito, Warm Springs, Newark, etc...), this might be the worst Ranch 99 I've been to. Granted, it's still a solid Asian supermarket, it's just slightly worse than the other Ranch 99s I've been to. First, the selection here seems slightly smaller overall than most Ranch 99s. I came here once with my friends from college, and we couldn't find everything we needed for our Hot Pot party, so we needed to go to the El Cerrito Ranch 99 after. Second, the food court and deli is worse here. The deli meats like roast duck and BBQ pork is somehow not that authentic. Something tastes off about the meats here. The quality of the self-serve hot food is also slightly worse overall. Also, one of the entrances to the store is sealed off, so you're funneled through a single tight entrance for people coming in and out. There's a security guard welcoming you in right by the entrance, so they must encounter a lot of crime here. Unlucky. Looking back, this is still a serviceable Asian supermarket if you're in the area. All I'm saying is I've been to better. read more

This Ranch 99 location has the worst employees! Not one employee is friendly, let alone helpful. Don't ask for help to find anything, Customer service does not exist. And don't order from the delivery. I ordered a won ton soup, and the won ton were a bit smooshy which made me question the freshness. Sure enough, I got sick after eating it. Warning to stay away from the deli! read more

The size of this 99 Ranch is a little smaller, but they manage to really pack in all the goodies. We found our favorite snacking items and a couple of new ones. The kitchen wares section was small, but seemed to cover the necessities. Parking is easy and free. It's a nice option if you can't make it to the Richmond Annex store. read more

When did 99 Ranch Market become so expensive? I know there has been serious inflation over the past few months/years but $6 a pound for ground pork, sriracha sauce for $3 more than other Asian stores, etc. Maybe I'm wrong but I always thought of this chain to be on the affordable side with a semi-chaotic merchandising and stocking style. Well 99 Ranch is still the latter, slightly chaotic but affordable it is not. read more

Pretty good place for Asian food and vegetables. They're pretty well stocked and they know where things are. It's your typical supermarket vibe, a little dark but it kind of mentally keeps you cool headed. They fry fish here and sometimes there's deals on lobster or crab. Always a plus for asian treats and other items. read more

the pork chop they serve at the dim sum and cooked food area is way to salty, sometimes I notice the fruits are rotten and still not removed, they are hoping someone would buy it I guess? Overall the prize is crazy, it feels like shopping at whole food but the quality obvious is not yet whole food level Some staff are not friendly, always in rush or just don't care, I ask for 1 pound of ground pork and the staff is listening to music and had to ask me again how much I want, small things like this just make people feel uncomfortable read more

I was driving to skippolinis and decided to stop by for a cake. Surprisingly, I was able to find a parking spot in front of the store. I went in, found the bakery to the left of the entrance, picked a cake, paid for it at the bakery and left. The chocolate cake was light and airy. I think they use whip cream, instead of cream. Either way, it was delicious, convenient and I will return. read more

Staff was super helpful with helping me find everything I needed. They have a great selection of fresh and packaged Asian food. This market is good sized, somewhat organized, affordable and busy. I live in Oakley so I do wish it was closer but what can you do! Like most Asian markets it has a fresh seafood area and there's an aroma to be sure. It looks like you can buy and have them fry the fish on site which I love the idea of. I'll have to go back and check it out. read more

There are a wide variety of Asian foods available at 99 Ranch, which is a medium-sized Asian supermarket. For Vietnamese, Chinese, Taiwanese, and other cuisines, this is a good place to find sauces and ingredients. If you're looking for great prices and unique food options, this is the place to go. One of my favorite places to grab a bite to eat at their hot food section as well. There is also a selection of fresh, live fish for sale at this location. The deep-frying is free with the purchase of any fish. Congee-lovers will find everything they need here, including pickled radishes and bamboo shoots. Soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, rice vinegar, rice wine, etc., are just a few of the many options available. Pig organs, such as the stomach, are also for sale here. Visit their bakery, they have a variety of cakes to choose from. The best tiramisu cake can be purchased in the cake section. The taste of fresh fruit tarts is quite pleasant. I usually stop by this section whenever I visit this place. Plenty of parking spots, but on weekends and holidays, good luck finding a parking spot :) read more

Oh my gosh, to have this complete of an Asian shop near me would be dreamy. I was in town for work and with list in hand, stopped in to the store I've heard so much about. I found everything I needed, didn't need but wanted, and didn't know I had to have. :) If I had a place for cold storage, I'd have done even more financial damage. I can't compare to other mainstream stores because it was definitely cold and dim and had the interesting smell of an Asian market. The place felt packed but it was easy to find help when looking for a product. Every "choy"-type vegetable I've ever even heard of was available. The gailan was so cheap. Ginger fresh. The lemongrass! Everything I have near me but so plentiful and priced nicely! Fresh meats and seafood - I only peeked because I knew I wouldn't be able to buy anything. I didn't even look in the freezer section for the same reason. Cold items - I longed to purchase so many things but found myself just enjoying the view. I saw products that I remembered from my trip to Japan and visions of bento boxes started to fill my head Anyhow, I could almost imagine making the hour and half drive to this store so I could shop for real. Great first experience! read more

I'd give zero stars if possible. The customer service at 99 Ranch Market in Concord is terrible. I placed an online order for an item that showed as available, with a specified pickup time. However, when I arrived, the customer service representative informed me in a rude tone that the item was out of stock. When I requested a refund, she refused and told me to cancel the order online myself. She made no effort to help or resolve the mistake. read more

Living in the "Far East" East Bay, it was hard finding a decently sized Asian market the likes of the South Bay. So when Ranch 99 opened in Concord, it was a godsend since it meant not having to journey all the way to Santa Clara for quality Asian products. This Ranch 99 is always busy and they have a lot of pan-Asian merchandise. They definitely have all the choys. Bok choy, ong choy, yu choy... Also, their instant ramen section has everything from Korean spicy ramen and Japanese udon to Thai and Indonesian noodles. While they have a lot of Asian things like Napa cabbage, daikon radish, and Asian pears, they do not carry everything that an ethnic-specific market like a Hankook Market, Mitsuwa Market, or Seafood City Supermarket would have. However, if you need something general, then Ranch 99 more than likely will carry it. I have to say that the one thing that I do not get from Ranch 99 is the meat. It just feels suspect. I blame the article from a few years ago at the San Jose 99 Ranch Market where meat deliverers rolled up with meat on a shopping cart. Google "Ranch 99 Meat Shopping Cart". Moreover, the one cut of meat I especially do not get is the pork belly because it isn't the Korean style that I'm used to but something really gelatinous and weird. Another knock is that their seafood section smells like (_x_). So when you walk into the market, you are greeted with that unmistakable whiff of stinky fish. It doesn't help that they also deep fry fish onsite. If you can get passed the smell, I feel like having Ranch 99 is better than not having Ranch 99. Moreover, being a Taiwanese-owned market chain, they are open 365 days a year. Reminds me of the Ronny Chieng Netflix special where he says "Asians don't shut down for anything... we don't shut down for Christmas!" I will give this location a solid 3 stars since it's a bit smaller than other Ranch 99 markets and the parking sucks. read more

One of our favorite places to get Asian food & groceries. The service is always good & helpful. The ambiance is typical supermarket. read more

My favorite thing about 99 Ranch is the extensive produce department. Whatever I need, from the mundane to the obscure, they have it. In addition, as an Asian market, they carry things that most other grocery stores don't. When we need things like Rice Noodles, Fish Sauce, Hoisen Sauce, etc. they always have it. read more

It was good to revisit this place early in the morning and I was able to purchase and buy some delicious Banh bot lot Udon noodles, and was very happy to cook Banh canh seafood crab, shrimp, lobster, and fish cakes, and minced ginger soup at home kitchen. Feels good to make an extra large bowl of noodles at home. read more

99 Ranch Market is a large Asian Grocery Store chain mostly located on the West Coast. This review is for the Concord, CA location based on a single visit on Feb. 19, 2021. All their stores are large and are stocked with a large inventory of almost all Asian food products and all locations have a fully stocked fresh produce, seafood and meat markets. The variety of products is pretty wide. They also have a hot food deli section featuring Dim Sum, BBQ Meats/Duck/Chicken and a buffet line (for take out only during Covid SIP regulations). The meat market is a full service department and will custom select and cut various meats and fowl for the customers. The seafood section is equipped with many tanks with circulating water to keep live seafood such as clams, crabs, shrimp, fish, etc. Their inventory is geared mainly for the Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Thai and Filipino cuisines. This location, like most other in the chain, is not neat nor clean like most American supermarket grocery store chains. It's, actually quite messy, with inventory sitting on the floor in the aisles throughout the store. Prices are not well marked so it can be a bit frustrating to determine the price of individual shelf items. Shelf Markers are hard to read and some are missing, entirely. There are no scanners on the store floor that customers can take merchandise to scan to determine the correct price. And, there can be a language problem. The cashiers and other staff members generally speak English, Cantonese and Mandarin. Some of the staff stocking the shelves speak Spanish but not English, Cantonese or Mandarin. Obviously, this is a problem if you're looking for something and need help. You'll have to talk to someone that you can converse with if you want assistance. The hot food in the buffet line is sold for a single price - all you can get into a specific, 3 - compartment, Styrofoam clam-shell takeout box. Unfortunately, the food is not that good and it can be out on the steam table a long time. The BBQ/Roast meats/fowl in the deli section is pretty good at this location. The Dim Sum is also not too bad. The hot foods and deli foods can vary considerably from store to store. The prepared food here at the Concord Store seems to be better than the Pleasanton or Dublin Stores. Because the aisles are often filled with merchandise sitting on the floor, it can be challenging to make your way throughout the store. Also, it may be difficult to maintain 6' Social Distancing when it is crowded with both people and merchandise sitting in piles or displays in the aisles. 99 Ranch stores fill a need for local Asian folks. Before they came, Asian families were forced to go all the way to the Chinatowns in Oakland, Fremont and San Francisco. But the many locations of 99 Ranch today now make it possible to find those Asian food stuffs without going all the way into the cities with a Chinatown or other ethnic centers like Little Saigon. read more

Great variety and selection. I was looking for a specific brand of Red Miso, and luckily they had it and it wasn't overly priced! Was able to get everything I needed as far as the common ingredients for Asian cooking, like sesame oil, fish sauce, chili sauce, etc. This is the closest Asian grocery market to me, and I will be going back regularly for my cooking concoction needs! read more

Similar to the other 99 Ranch stores I've been to, they have a vast selection of everything: seafood, meat, chicken, and various dried goods. But just like the 99 Ranch located at Richmond, there are multiple isles with many unpacked boxes lined up within. It's a good thing Hubbers and I didn't really need a lot of things because maneuvering a cart would have been a challenge. And just like the Richmond spot, they do not accept or have any kind of rewards programs like the stores in SoCal do. They need to get with the program, eh?! TIP: I've been here once before years ago and I remember coming through during peak hours and that was no Bueno - parking will be a challenge, so plan accordingly. We just happened to be around the area and that's how we ended up here. (We normally go to the Richmond location.) They carried the few things we needed and the cashiers were swift, so overall, it was still a good stop. Would return if the need comes up should I find myself around here again. read more

absolutely love the grocery selection at this store , they not only carry my favorite Asian foods, they also carry Hispanic foods. Most of all, I love the roast duck from the cooked food section.
