Rotten veggies and molded fresh noodles what a terrible store. Canned foods are good though!

Wow. Was feeling kind of low today, looking forward to some comfort food, and then "Dim Sum D" per the receipt, took me down by screaming at me for putting my fried chicken in the wrong container, demanding I remove them, and return the used container to her to throw away. Not sure what's up with her behavior, but she sure ruined my day. Lost my appetite. Will not be back any time soon. Rude. read more

clean.... NOT FOR LONG. almost all 99 i been to end up smelly like crap. the people that work at the fish section are loud but friendly. used to b occupied by nob hill who moved to a bigger space in the same plaza. i noticed more people come here for the cheap deli than grocery. its sad people try to rip off an already cheap 7$ bento box by over filling it to the point where they cant close the box. didnt have most of the stuff i was there for but i found new stuff to buy too. read more

Incredible resource for all things Asian, from rows and rows of sauces, fresh noodles, specialty items to really low priced proteins- fish, shellfish, meats and fowl. They have a great variety of chicken types. fresh fish and one can wander up and down the aisles for hours on end, in deep exploration... They also have prepared food, great dim sum and meals if you want to skip the preparation and get right to the eating part :) Provides a great contrast to the Japanese market across the way which has AMAZING fresh sushi, sashimi, fish, thinly cut quality meats and overnighted items. Love them both and usually combine them in a trip down that way. Wonderful to have such a wide variety of fresh proteins close by. read more

Sell waffles without expiration date. When I opened the packages, it was full of ammonia smell.

This is the best 99 Ranch market, and I frequent this place all the time. I live in Sunnyvale, so I'm right in between this location and the one in Cupertino. This one doesn't have the parking frenzy with all the incompetent drivers at the Cupertino location, plus this one is much cleaner! I go here for all my Asian grocery needs, and the prices are more than reasonable. On top of that, I can get a pretty good meal here as well at the food line. Dim sum is cheap as well -- 3 pieces for $2.25. Also, for every $15 you spend on groceries, you get a $1 coupon toward your hot food item purchase. Woohoo! read more

Large selections of fresh produces, frozen food, dry food, snacks, baked hoods....etc you name it! We had fun shopping here and bought a trolley of yummy stuff to bring home! Highly recommended! read more

Great place for fresh fish and seafood meat. The prices are reasonable. Only warning for first time visitors- be prepared for the smell. The whole place smells strongly fishy and overwhelming like a poorly maintained, stuffy aquarium but that's probably because they DO have live fish in tanks. That's a trade off for getting fresh fish! Definite must for people sick of frozen fish meat read more

Love this place! I've been cooking out of Fuchsia Dunlop's Every Grain of Rice cookbook recently, and this market has all the Chinese ingredients I ever need. This Sunday, my husband and I decided to try their dim sum, and it was inexpensive and yuuuuuummy. We will definitely be making Sunday lunches here a tradition! Also, the staff has always been super friendly and helpful answering our questions and helping us find what we need. Minus one star because they sell fish that are threatened/endangered (e.g. "Idiot" cod--it's a real thing, I promise). read more

Great prices here, nice deli, I always get my live crab from this place - super cheap. Some sale items are well worth the buck. NIce place to get some Asian style stuff. Never come on the weekends (at least during grand opening era), this place is crowded, crammed and filled with some rude people. If only people could be nicer. read more

I'm here in Palo Alto and found out this is nearby. It's convenient. The Irvine store is way bigger and better. Plus Sam Woo is next to it. I was looking for green tea matcha and their selection was zilch. Same with the red ginseng. They were way $$$$ like min. $30 . I went to see Nijiya down the street. They have a great selection of high quality matcha and loose green teas . read more

Yup.... this IS the cleanest and most upscale Ranch 99 I've ever been to. They've even got hard wood floor. It's not huge but they've got everything you would need for a Chinese grocery store. They sell baked goods from Sogo Bakery in the bakery department. The dimsum tasted ok. I guess if you're really desperate and don't want to cook, they've got a decent takeout section. read more

Thank you 99 ranch for opening up in Mountain View. I LOVE YOU! You can find everything (Chinese) that you need here. Even the Mango Milk Smoothie is AWESOME (in the hot food area). That's what I spend my $2 on after I spend $30 dollars there (they give you $1 to spend at the hot food area for every $15 you spend). The cashier even helped me with my questions on how to make Mei Gan Kou Rou (Cai)! How awesome is that?! I am a loyal customer! read more

I love this place! If u can get the dim sum when it's fresh it's awesome!! And I could eat their chicken buns everyday!!! Yum

I've been to this Ranch 99 location a few times, I can't get over how cheap everything there is! I really like the vegetable section, they have a lot of different varieties of asian vegetables that you can't get elsewhere. The store itself has pretty much everything you'd ever want to prepare asian foods, though I must say, the seemingly 250+ different kinds of soy sauce is a bit overwhelming. I haven't purchased anything from their meat department, frozen food section, bakery, or warm food section. But I'm a big fan of their noodle section and precooked tofu! read more

This has to be one of the cleanest and tidiest 99 locations I've ever been to. The aisles are always orderly and the products are placed so neatly. I love going to their takeout food area. Their dim sum is quite good and the wonton noodle soup is great. The prices are reasonable and quality is fresh. read more

I love this place and I hate this place. I love it because I could be in here for hours looking at all of the fun stuff and I always leave here with a bag FULL of stuff. I hate it because it's always JAM PACKED with people, and they're not always particularly accommodating to the white folks. I don't particularly care about that because my staff interactions are minimal. read more

My kids like the food from the food court The portion is very generous! The food is totally worth the money read more

This was the most pleasant Chinese market I've been to. The customers seem much more laid back and they're not as rude as some of the other locations. Store was pretty clean, parking spaces were wider, and the prices were cheaper than other locations. Also, I had my personal space when walking around the store. No one was running into me or hitting me with their shopping carts. It was really nice. Even on a weekend afternoon, it wasn't overly crowded. I actually took my time looking around vs usually just going in, getting what I need and leaving. Even the cashiers were friendly. I wonder if the location being in Mountain View makes a difference. read more

This is the closest Asian market to where I live, so I usually come here once a week to load up on Chinese greens, seafood, and whatever else I wouldn't be able to find at Safeway. I can typically get help at the seafood counter pretty quickly, so happy about that. It's a decent store but I find they are lacking in some Asian fresh herbs that you can find at a San Jose branch. read more

Went here last night for the first time because I read they have live lobsters. What a surprise! Great produce and seafood department (which is most important to me). I bought 2 lobster for $6.99/lb and ate like a queen last night. They were great! I'm used to going to Andronico's or Whole Foods looking for fresh seafood and paying way too much. Being from Long Island, I'm used to fresh, well priced fish from seafood markets, but I can't seem to find anything like that here. Until now. I'll update once I try a few more types of fish out, but I have a feeling I've found my west coast seafood market! read more

This by far is the cleanest 99 Ranch that I've ever been to. They always have the freshest produce and often with the cheapest prices too. I always stop by here to even check out the meat prices before I go to the traditional American supermarkets. They even sell Dim Sum togo and has a hot counter for food. They also sell bbq pork, roast pork at this area by the pound. read more

yeah!!!!! a closer 99 ranch!!!!!!!!! and though my bf is usually disgusted (and feels the need to shower) after going to 99 ranch with me, he feels a little more comfortable at this 99 ranch (as long as he stays away from the meat dept). so far, it is still unbelievably clean and organized. it looks like a whole foods, except its filled with asian goods. And with all the cheaply priced prepared foods, maybe I don't have to cook any more!!!!!!!!! yeah!!!!!!!!!!! I just wonder if they are going to open more Chinese restaurants in the plaza like they did for all the other 99 ranches. read more

This 99 Ranch is immaculate to the other ones I've been to (Milpitas, San Jose, and San Diego). Also, I experiencing less cart ramming or kids getting scolded because there were in my way, at this 99 Ranch. Strange, but it could be because I went late on a weekday. The cashier up front wasn't very cordial and threw my groceries from a height, rather than sliding them. Annoying. I would come here for the produce and other low-priced items, but not the customer service. read more

Their food is pretty good. The cashiers are hella rude though! My mom orders food for her company parties and the manager always hooks us up with free trays of chow mein and friend rice. The parking lot is a bitch. Asian drivers =| read more

Two words: Dim Sum (did I spell that right)? I lived across the street from this place for 6 months, I became addicted to Dim Sum. Other than that, I bought mochi there... read more

smells like you're in an asian supermarket...but you know you're jealous there's not one by you. they sell coconuts for half the price of whole foods. nuff said. read more

I was a bit disappointed when I visited this store. After doing a search on vegan and gluten-free grocery stores, this one came up top on the list. However, when I got there, it was nothing of the sort. Not quite sure why it was listed as a gluten-free grocery store. Other than that, a very clean Asian grocery store. read more

I was very happy to find a Ranch 99 close to our new place. This one is smaller than other ones I've been to but it's pretty clean. They usually have what I'm looking for. I try to go here on a weeknight when it's not so busy. On the weekends, it's a warzone. It's crowded and people are just plain rude. They don't know how to wait their turn in line and they push and shove. I HATE that. So weeknights/weekdays are best. Avoid the crowds if you can. read more

This one in Los Altos/Mountain View is a little bit crowdy, smaller asile. I don't like the way they stack their fresh vegie either. Other than that, they have everything I normally shop for and is closer to where I live than Marina down in Cupertino. Problem is I keep forgetting they exist, so I often remember them after I am already 1/2 way down 85. read more

I don't know why people think this place is so clean. It's really not. I've purchased meat here 3-4 times now, such as chicken legs, ground pork, pork belly, and salmon, and each time, though the packaging would indicate that the expiry date was about a week out, the meat itself would smell... funky. Maybe it's because I do my shopping at BFD on Tuesday/Wed mornings, and so I get all the old meat that hasn't been sold over the weekend. Anyway, I'm a little suspicious of the freshness. Everything else is fine, though. read more

for the price and convenience, you can get some decent tasting dim sum. Three pieces for $2.25. This is great when you're craving dim sum for yourself and don't have the time or enough people for a sit down place. read more

I was turned off to shopping at Ranch 99 after a few ridiculous experiences at the Cupertino location (20 minutes to find parking, long lines for seafood, long lines to pay...) This location is the complete oppossite. Parking was relatively easy, reasonable crowd, short lines! I can find everything Asian that I need here! read more

I ordered from the hot station. Food was very good. I liked the fried fish.

I go pretty often when I need asian ingredients for recipes and I'm able to find everything I need. The hot deli was awesome the first time I tried it, and it has decreased in quality in the past year. The dim sum is hard and often cold and the chinese entrees are too greasy now. I'm not sure I'll ever go back for the hot deli but shopping wise it'll still do. read more

Love to shopping there, special if you like alive seafood that will be the place you go, they clean all the seafood for you. Many Chinese vegi, fresh stuff and good service. read more

More expensive than Lions. small produce section, meat counter employees are rude and unhelpful. Great prepared food area.

we live in mountain view and shop this ranch 99 and costco. i've always been wary of their meats, particularly since this article: https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Photos-of-Raw-Meat-in-Shopping-Carts-at-San-Joses-99-Ranch-Market-Go-Viral-471364074.html i immediately felt terrible after eating some pork we bought from them. It's persisted over night. i've had food poisoning many times and this clearly aligns with the symptoms. will never buy meat or eggs from this place again. their fish in particular looks aged and dried out. read more

Finally a 99 Ranch in Mtn View. Nice to see their new look of cleaner, brighter, and colorful decor. Been there twice already and discovered a few tricks. . . plenty of additional seating is tucked away in a cute room in front of the bakery (they should put a sign so people know) or the outdoor patio. Also found tons of parking at the rear of the building that no one seems to know about. Live crabs $3.29 a lb. Crab noodle soup this weekend here I come. . . Yum! read more

See all

Clean, good service, good prices and well stocked. Only issue is parking and crowds, but that's what I would expect given the former adjectives. read more
