I love the hot deli section. Wonton Noodle Soup with Roast Duck is my favorite. They give a large portion, enough for two to share. read more

99 Ranch Market - Wonton Noodle Soup with Roast Duck - Seafood Markets Near Me - Mountain View, California

Came here to pick up some spring roll rice paper and vermicelli. Customer service was helpful and mission was accomplished.

0 stars . THESE PPL SCAM THE PUBLIC!!!!! . REMEMBER TO ASK THEM TO WEIGH BEFORE AND AFTER cutting OR FIND A BETTER STORE ! We bought crab and found portion of it missing . When questioned about surveillance cameras the ARROGANT "manager" did not want to help. No apology, just absolute arrogance !!!! You think you can keep getting away with the scams ? I have been a customer since 2012 just cos of the location and convenience. Now i am hearing MANY complaints as i spread the word on social media!!! Absolutely no value/morals/hygiene practiced here . Just robbing people off their money and probably running a black market . read more

Food is under weight! For example, when you buy some Honey BBQ pork, they weight it with the tray with a lot of sauce on it. The normal procedure should be the tray and sauce are excluded by setting 0 before the Honey Bbq pork putting on it. The tray and sauce weight more than 1 oz (which mean a little more than 1 dollar). It make big different when you buy just a small piece of honey Bbq port! read more

Why it's called 99 Ranch still baffles my mind! There are more than 99 reasons I love this place... I have 99 problems and 99 Ranch Market definitely isn't one! The refrigerated tofu skin to make inari is an amazing find. We also love getting the mini Turbana bananas... they are so small and sweet / tasty! They come packaged in plastic wrapped styrofoam and once they are ripe, they are to-die-for. My wife and I wondered one day: "Why do these taste so good? Where are they from?". On the package, I read: "Produce of Aslabeled". I was like: "I've never heard of that country, is that near Islamabad?". It was literally a light bulb that went off like 30 minutes later that they forgot a space.. The bananas were a product of "As Labeled". We were shocked by our own stupidity. The bakery is also a nice stop for quick red bean bun, etc. Highly recommend. I wish they had jackfruit that was already cut up and ready to eat-- that would put this over the top! read more

Living out in this area, there aren't a lot of options for Asian grocery stores. Unfortunately, due to a negative experience with one of the staff, we will not be returning to this location ever again, and much rather drive further to another market. One of the male staff members bagged our groceries and when we grabbed them on our way out he verbally attacked us and rudely snatched one of the bags out of our hands with no explanation whatsoever. We were so shocked and had no idea what was going on, turns out he was also bagging groceries for another customer and somehow one of their bags got mixed with ours, which we had no idea. It was a simple mix up that could have easily been resolved with a simple "excuse me". read more

Do not buy the cooked foods!! It was the worst I ever had from a 99 Ranch Market. The selection was minimal and some of the dish was dry. The tofu skin was under cooked. The chicken drumsticks were dry and very salty. Even one star was overrated. read more

Not a bad grocery store with a few caveats. We tend to treat it as more of a large specialty store with good prices than a regular grocery store but it generally has most everyting you need. It is part of our regular rotation and a go to when we need soy, fish sauce (they usually have pretty good prices on Red Boat), and they have a Ramen isle that literally have 100's of brands and flavors. The produce section is hot or miss at times in terms of quality. However in terms of variety the only place you may see more in a grocery store is perhaps Berkeley Bowl. From longan's, to lychee's, to rambutans, then throw in raw tumeric, lemongrass etc, and they generally have you covered. They also have a deli/prepared food section with a huge assortment. We have only tried the dumplings and found them to be okay with fair flavor. I have not purchased meat there but they have a full butcher and live fish if that's on your shopping list. The service is exactly what you would expect at any supermarket chain. The minuses: The isles are pretty crowded The organization is sketchy at times read more

The deli shrank the size of the sesame balls to one third of its original size. I am buying less and less from this store. It's sad.

This 99 Ranch Market is the most generous Roasted Duck Wonton Noodle Soup in the area. At $6.49, there are usually ~6 pieces of meaty duck that is on the bland side, 6 all shrimp wontons, a generous heaping of noodles, along with a few mega pieces of broccoli. ...it's interesting that the leg is always missing from my order...maybe they save it for themselves?!? Another tasty option here is the beef brisket wonton noodle soup which consists of ~6 pieces of chunky, tender, and sometimes fatty beef brisket that is melt-in-your-mouth delicious, along with the choice of noodles, 6 wontons, along with the mega pieces of broccoli! Service is friendly by the staff here. Tip: $1 Extra for an extra "side" (i.e. Wonton Roasted Duck + Beef Brisket is a $1 surcharge! ;)) read more

Unlike the branch in Cupertino, I can actually find a parking space here! I come here for the seafood, which is where the best deals seem to be. The seafood section is HUGE and you'll find everything from tiger shrimp, clams, oysters and blue crab, to salmon, sea bass, whole and fillet tilapia and even fish heads sold individually (for those inclined to eat like a true Chinese person). Prices on seafood tend to be better than American grocery chains. There's a section for meat, with prices no better than American grocery chains. Produce prices are in line with a mid-range store like Lucky. There are some good deals that vary by week- this weekend I found Napa cabbage for $0.39/lb and these black seedless grapes for $0.99/lb that were really firm and succulent. There's a small bakery in the store, as well as a deli with pigs hanging in the window and other good stuff. The deli has some trays of hot cooked food that you can pack however you want into the container of your choice; a standard sized styrofoam box will cost you $7.80. I used to get a $1 off coupon for the deli if I spent over $30 at checkout. I didn't get a coupon this time (maybe the cashier just forgot), but they were having a promotion on compact fluorescent lightbulbs - each box containing two bulbs cost one cent when spending $20 at checkout, limit 5 boxes. Sweet, now I can afford to light my house, since I spent all my money on this awesome seafood... Verdict: For produce and meat, I'll usually shop somewhere else, but seafood here is a win. read more

I was at work and it was lunch time and I was feeling a bit nostalgic . I used to frequent the Ranch 99 Deli Steam Table years ago . Back then they would let you fill a Styrofoam Container.from the Steam Table to capacity for $4.25. A Helluva Deal. So I rolled my work Whip Big Ken to Grant Road and Ranch 99 .I was able to park my Work Whip in the Mall Parking Lot. I street Hiked to Ranch 99 and rolled in . The Mountain View Ranch 99 is a much smaller store and is packed with merchandise. I rolled to the Deli area and was happy to see a Dim Sum Section , They Also had a Chinese BBQ Section with a Butcher . Roast Duck and Pig. Then the Steam Table with Cooked Chinese Dishs . Bingo . Self Serve load your own Styrofoam Container for $9.00 . Ouch Inflation but still a good deal. I picked Fried Rice , String Beans , Beef and Broccoli , Chau -siu ,Fried Fish and Generals Chicken and a Cup of Hot and Sour Soup.. I then paid by Discover Card and rolled out. There's a Outside Patio in front where you can go and eat if you choose to. read more

99 Ranch Market - Seafood Markets Near Me - Mountain View, California

This 99 Ranch Market is one of the smaller locations. However, don't let the size fool you. They offer the same products, probably in a smaller scale, but the wow factor here is their hot food particularly their dim sum. I was surprise how good they were considering, they were made available throughout the whole day. I was surprise they even offered black beans filled bun? Maybe a limited edition? I don't see it often. Their customer service here by far, have been one of the best experienced I've had in the Bay Area, though the one in San Diego tops the list. Parking here is plentiful, but you will have to compete since this is a strip mall with other popular businesses. Of the times I've been here, their busiest have been around after 5pm during weekdays. I don't know during the weekend, as I'm only here after work. Until then, ~ Cheers! :p read more

Don't buy Dungeness Crab from this place. They would bait and switch. They took the live crabs from the tank, show you they are alive then drop them behind the counter. Then they pick up dead ones behind the counter and bag them for you. Happened to me multiple times at this place. I am not going there any more. read more

NO STAR. It is sad that every time I write a review on Ranch 99 it is just a complaint. After multiple NEGATIVE reviews they have not managed to GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER. I still see a lot of people going to Ranch99 and I hereby recommend we all just not go there to force them o change and get a new Asian grocery in the area. I think Ranch 99 is heading to a serious Covid outbreak. Their lines are long to check-out due to few cashiers (I get it, you are understaffed). You should limit folks coming into the stores then cos people are crowding each other. My real complaint is not really about Ranch99's long line. I get that it's what they need to keep stores running. My biggest issue is RANCH 99 SALES EXPIRED GOODS. I got some SOON DOU BU tofu stew and didn't check the date and it was from 8/2020. When I opened up the package, it STUNK MY WHOLE KITCHEN UP. Like stinky tofu! I don't go to Ranch99 much. Honestly just went back last two weeks cos we are done air frying wings and fish and need variety. But... man, i have gotten moldy food, rotten food from Ranch two out of the 10x i went. read more

Craving congee on a weekday morning? Never fear, because 99 Ranch is here! You can order a variety of congee at the deli / eatery section of this restaurant. Only $5.65 per order, and bowl is huge! You will likely NOT finish the entire bowl since it's just overwhelmingly large. I had the preserved egg + sliced pork congee, and it was great. :) So happy after eating it! There are other dim sum items available at the deli area, and very reasonable prices too. Anything from chicken feet, shrimp dumplings, daikon cakes, and more! :) Come eat before you grocery shop, haha. read more

I have been going to Ranch market for more than 30+ years! My late husband specialized in Asian cooking. In fact that was his pick-up line " Hi my name is - I have 3 woks would you like to come over and I will fix you dinner"? How could I refuse since Asian food is my all time fav! This store has fruits and vegetables that are fresh and a lot cheaper than your local store and the fruits and veggies are exotic too if need be. Plenty of frozen items and fresh fish and shellfish. Household items that are awesome! Also they have a cafe that sells roasted duck and baked items etc. If you like tea or ginseng this is the place to go. They also sell rice cookers and big bags of rice. I just love this store you really need to check it out if you like Asian food! read more

One of my best friends who lives in Seattle was raving about an Asian Fusion restaurant called Stateside. https://www.statesideseattle.com/menus He had ordered the Master Stock Crispy Chicken and was raving about the culinary experience. Fortunately for me I found the recipe on line at Food and Wine and wanted to replicate it in my own kitchen. https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/master-stock-crispy-chicken I went to Ranch 99 Market and needed to find a myriad of Asian ingredients. I was very challenged as I was looking for items I had no experience or background to know exactly what to look for. The head stock clerk, Ali came to my rescue and personally helped me find the ingredients that were on my list! Fortunately I have learned to gather all the ingredients BEFORE starting to cook the recipe. I want to thank Ali for making my daunting task into a very pleasurable shopping experience and allowing me to find most of the ingredients I needed. This was a great shopping experience for me. read more

The good and bad - Bad - the Lady at the Bakery will try and peddle the Portuguese Dan tats For buy 5 get one free .. well, they taste bland and do not taste like the real ones they claim to be. Don't get bamboozled into buying them like me . Don't come here to expect Whole Food Service . I'm not sure who gets the award for pretending to not know English just so they don't have to help you. My Chinese is more like Chinglish and find myself always asking a second person for the correct answer and attitude . The good - the baby ribs are very lean and prob one of the leanest in town to make Chinese pork dish . The coconut bread in the bakery is tasty ; if they zero on the shelves ask the bakery attendant but wait to ask another if she gives you a response to shoo you away. The Taiwanese sticky rice in the hot meal area are my kids favorite . Big chunks of pork , mushroom and peanuts steamed into savory sticky rice will def fill you up and say yummm. One of the ladies behind the counter that explains the two difference ones is the most friendliest in the store . If you get her on your first attempt at the sticky rice in the leaves then you're winning ... otherwise , go back . read more

I had an unbelievably racist experience at this place. I'm a half black half Asian girl in my early 20s (not that it matters), but I felt so out of place after my experience today. There wasn't any cashier at the dim sum section, and two other ladies and I were waiting. We decided to go over to the hot food section to pay. The guy at the cash register refused to serve me, and told me to go to the back of the line. He then went ahead and tried to serve the other ladies who also came from the dim sum section. Luckily they were kind ladies, and argued with him for me (very loud and hostile sounding argument), and moved to the back as well. One lady told me he said it was because I had stuff from the dim sum section. But that doesn't explain why he was willing to serve them. When I got back to the front of the line, he overcharged me 1/4 more for my items. The dim sum is very cheap though, so I didn't bother making a fuss. I grew up going to this market, but won't come back. There are plenty of things I will miss, as the market itself is pretty good. read more

This Ranch 99 is my favorite Chinese Supermarket, perhaps in the nation. I know Ranch 99 is a chain, but this one is the best. It's clean and has an awesome selection of just about everything with a great assortment of all types of asian foods really..., but especially Taiwanese products. Even though I'm not Taiwanese, I tend to like Taiwanese products - as the Taiwanese really know their food. It's a bit more trustworthy over other Chinese products. I also love their hot foods bar / take-out. It's great for a cheap meal. Do it the Chinese way and stuff everything you can into a container that gets you 2 days worth of food for 5 bucks! Love it. And they don't just have Panda Express type stuff, but real Chinese food like bean curd etc. And of course you gotta be strategic and pile the fried shrimp / fish on top. The dim sum bar is not bad. About what you'd expect from a self-serve dim sum bar. Not sure what else you can expect. Everything is very big though. Huge har gau, huge sui mai, huge pork buns etc. I was craving congee a few days ago and there are many types of congee available here, but I thought it was a bit pricey - like 5 bucks for congee - that seemed insane! But I really wanted it, so I went ahead and dropped down the 5 bucks for some pork and preserved egg congee. It was SOO good! Huge portion with giant chunks or pork and egg. Much bigger than I had seen anywhere. It also had a good amount of ginger in it which I really like. Also, if you're into instant ramen, they have a very impressive instant ramen aisle with ramen from all over the world including pho ramen and tom yum noodle soup ramen. Of course it tastes just about what you'd expect from instant ramen that's a dollar - unhealthy, sodium-filled goodness! read more

I do not recommend going through a cashier named Katerine Valent M. She treated me terrible. She told me that I have to take things out of the Red basket in a very bad attitude, and then without asking me if I need a bag, oh no. She charged me for it and put some mushrooms in it, she told me I didn't need a bag...she didn't take out the mushrooms I bought and didn't give them to me...when I got home I realized I didn't have them. Very bad employee. they shouldn't put it in customer service..... read more

As another review mentioned, the older Asian gentleman working behind the fish counter was extremely rude. The sign had a cheaper price for the fish than what we were charged. When we pointed this out to him he yelled at us, said this was wrong and "someone doesn't know what they're talking about" and dumped the fish back. I'm shocked that this was his reaction for a mistake that he made. read more

I bought a pack of expired rice noodles from them. Didn't find out until I ate it and it had some really weird stale smell.

While this 99 Ranch is cleaner than other locations (except maybe Milpitas), the selection overall is less due to the size. What really bothers me is on certain days of the week the produce is not fresh and I've found moldy bits. I almost never buy meat here because of the poor experiences I've had. If you buy any kind of ground meat here like the ground pork, make sure you absolutely use it same day or it will smell sour and off already completely spoiled. Honestly, the only meat I come here for are for organ meats or offal you won'd find next door at say Nob Hill. The Nob Hill meat section tends to have fresher meat and even cheaper prices for the marked down items. I bought a 8 lb pork shoulder the other week at Nob Hill for $5-$6 which I roasted and shredded, lasted the family days. Meanwhile 99 Ranch marks up pre-sliced hot pot meats to like $19.99/lb. 99 Ranch is literally the reason this year I bought a meat grinder for Christmas and will simply grind my own pork. It's cheaper, it's cleaner, and I know what I'm putting in it. Check the dates on the food too. I recently bought a few packages of some instant noodles. When I got home - best buy date 12/29/2019. That's a little shady honestly. Another time about a year ago, I had gotten home and had a past best buy of over 6 months. Check the dates, check your items closely, and don't buy meat or seafood from here is my recommendation. read more

A pretty good grocery market to get your Asian foods. The prices of the items here are affordable. The variety of food is not as much as I'd like, but it does the job. I like how they have samples. It really does help you find new things to try out and buy. It's also always nice to snack while shopping. Speaking of snacking while shopping, 99 Ranch also has a food court on the right side of the market from the entrance. The food is decent and cheap. read more

99 Ranch sells the Wei-Chuan brand of frozen Xiao Long Bao (XLB) dumplings: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/99-ranch-market-mountain-view-2?select=92ZPQDwdMQLVuV_wHWrPiQ#92ZPQDwdMQLVuV_wHWrPiQ They sell the regular "pork mini buns" and the "pork mini buns with crab meat added." I recommend going with the crab meat added version, which lists soup as one of the ingredients; the regular one doesn't seem to indicate if there is any soup in the dumpling. When you bite into one, you get an "explosion" of soup. These are surprisingly good, considering they are frozen, and they only need 10 minutes in the steamer. But don't break the skin; that can be a problem, because they tend to stick to a metal steamer: you can put them on cabbage leaves. read more

Noticed most photos are of the place itself and I thought it'd be nice to show some photos of the food you can make with the ingredients here. A lot of people think coming to a 99 ranch means you can only make Asian food but they do have all the items you'd need to do most classic American recipes. You should try to avoid here though in recent months given the coronavirus scare- and if you can wear a mask that'd be optional. Needless to say, even if you encountered someone peripherally at a grocery store who had coronavirus you'd know if they were coughing in your vicinity. read more

Store has a lot of varieties. I would just say it needs to be a little more modernized to where there's either a express check out lane and or a few self checkout stations.

This place is not as good as the 99 Ranch in San Gabriel Valley. But I am willing to drive 20 minutes to go to this place! There are sample stations and it is always fun to try something new! The aisles are very tight. Things are a bit disorganized because they put items out on sale in random places. If you want to find sale items in the aisle to compare to the other brands, its super hard to find! Also, I always look in the flyer when I walk in the door just in case something I want is on sale. There is a barbecue station that has roasted duck along with hot prepared foods which includes dim sum! My only problem is that the roasted duck does not come with plum sauce, you have to ask for it. And the plum sauce comes in packets let ketchup. Ew. But the duck is still pretty tasty! This place doesn't give deli coupons like the other two neighborhoods. Things are a bit messy, but it's to closest 99 ranch to Palo Alto, so I can complain! read more

It was time to fire up the kitchen and get to work on my comfort food on this stormy weather that hit the Bay Area on 01/20/2010. First thing that came to mind was "Sinigang"! Sinigang is one of my favorite comfort foods during the winter months (especially when it's cold and rainy). This Filipino dish comes from my father whose been making this dish since he was a child. His salmon Sinigang is made from fresh salmon belly, taro, baby bok choy (or chayote leaves - when in season), celery, and Chinese eggplant. Herbs and other ingredients: tamarind, garlic, onions, patis (for flavoring) and tomatoes. As I was gathering my fresh ingredients, I noticed that this is one the cleanliest 99 Ranch Markets in the South Bay - Clean vegetables, well presented seafood, and red glowing meats. Even the cashiers didn't have to wear latex gloves when handling your groceries. Aside from the cleanliness, this location is so convenient for me. I can grab my groceries on the way home from work without battling for parking space and fighting off disgruntle commuters (unlike the Hostetter Road and McCarthy Ranch locations). And if you're from North San Jose... You know exactly what I'm talking about!!! Sinigang Receipe? Click here: http://www.filipinofoodrecipes.net/sinigang.htm Sorry...

I didn't even know that there was a 99 ranch here! I'm not usually impressed by grocery stores of the Asian variety (or ... any variety maybe?) and this one was no different. It smelled like 99 ranch, looked like 99 ranch, and everything was hard to find ... like a 99 ranch. The only pro here was that their lines were quite short, I'm not sure if it was because of weekend non-madness for Saturday night or that its just not as impacted here but either way that was pleasant. read more

When I need to get my Asian cooking ingredients, its Ranch 99 to the rescue since Marina's a bit too far for me to get to. Upsides: Cheap produce. Great variety. Great selection of ingredients for a good winter hot pot get together! Oxtails? They have them! Pork knuckles, check! They have some great live seafood options here along with great cleaning and steaming services. Downsides: Parking lot filled with horrendous drivers going the wrong way. Mean rude immigrants who cut lines. Not very helpful staff. Too many Made In China products that I'm trying to avoid! read more

Guess you can say if youve been to one youve seen them all. When it first opened it was nice and clean but packed full of partrons. Navigating this both store and parking lot is pretty nutty. Its glory has faded and wasnt as nice as it once was. However if you need anything remotely Chinese for cooking or prepared foods you'd be hard pressed to do better. It' s also amusing to watch the dichotomy of 99 vs Nob Hill shoppers. So close yet still so self segregated read more

It is a small Ranch 99 but I love the fact that I can get dim sum any day and time instead of waiting for the weekends at Chinese restaurants. 3 pieces for $2.20, more for specialty plates like char sui bau and chicken feet. Some items were a hit and miss. The pork had grissle in it but the deep fried shrimp was good and crispy. Have to choose the fresh stuff. The bbq section looks so good with the hanging ducks, chickens and pork. Look at that side of crispy roasted pork in the window....yum. First time I have seen a jook/congee or porridge to go section in a Ranch 99. Love it in the winter, comfort food. For a quart of plain $3, for additional meats and seafood, up to $7. read more

Time for an update! Asian Supermarket sweep led me back to 99 Ranch...plus I needed some more seaweed. Don't laugh. Anyway, with my further Asian Supermarket experience, i can delve a bit more into depth than my last review. What I bought: -seaweed...the selection wasn't the best and the prices were a bit higher than other Asian markets but they had about ten different kinds -hot food bar...yep I went for the greasy Asian hot food bar. I had just finished a two hour workout, so sue me. But, they actually had a decent number of vegetarian items and you pay per box so I stuffed lots in. Not bad selection or pricing -lychee (which brings me to produce) They had a nice selection of fresh produce. It was not the most expansive or rare. But, it was well priced and they did have the staple Asian items. -more seaweed...They have packaged items like tofu and other Asian staples. There is a pretty big range Other sections: -bakery...wow it actually looked pretty good and I am not even big on Asian bakeries -Asian snacks galore -soups and sauces -canned foods -random American items The location is pretty large so you can probably find something you like here! 99 Ranch is not the cheapest of the Asian Supermarkets, but there are some good items here. I'm not complaining about the pricing. My food has been filled with an Asian invasion lately...and I'm loving it! read more
