    Shishito pepper - 1 in 10 is spicy; pepper roulette!
    Christine P.

    I definitely will come back to this location again. Thw store's weekly ads are digitally displayed as you walk in the door. The produce section greets you right away. I LOVE the variety as well as the prices. One thing that stood out most ro me is that the store is SO clean and neat! The variety of items iis huge and aisles are nice and wide to allow buggies to pass each other easily. The seafood section is normally the first thing you can smell, but not here. I didn't notice it until I reached that section. That said, it wasn't overwhelming, as other stores are. The young man behind the counter was kind enough to give me a thick bag of ice to keep my selections cold until I got home. Now that's service! I didn't get a chance to try the food court but I definitely will on my next trip!

    This is my second review for this store. Yesterday, Winston Ju helped me, and he was nice, friendly, and professional. He carefully bagged my groceries, separating the hot and cold items, which I really appreciated. What a kind and thoughtful young man -- such a difference compared to the rude woman who helped me last time.

    I love this store and this location in particular because there's always plenty of parking and never crowded when I go. Store is clean and so many good quality fruits and veggies. As well as food to go and mini restaurants. I love strolling down all the aisles at each visit!

    The Chinese New Year began on February 10, 2024. This is the year of the Dragon. Dragon is powerful, endlessly energetic and full of vitality, goal-oriented yet idealistic and romantic, and a visionary leader. They know exactly who they are and possess the keenest sense of self among the 12 zodiacs of Chinese astrology. https://chinesenewyear.net/zodiac/dragon/ As part of the celebration I took my kid to Saigon 5 for won ton soup inside 99 Ranch's food court. Luckily we arrived as Southern Sea Dragon and Lion Dance was setting up in front of 99 Ranch. They started their dance and the lion ate lettuce and spit it back out to give everyone prosperity. The dance moved inside through the store and ended up at the food court. They visited each eatery and were given lucky money in the red envelopes. Great Dragon and Lion dance! Normally I visit 99 Ranch for the great selection of fruit, vegetables, and other groceries like mooncakes. In the future I'll have to visit for the awesome Dragon and Lion dance.

    First time here and the selection is bigger than I thought. Found a lot of items I needed in order to complete a ton of meals I've bookedmark. Might even prefer this store over H-Mart for my Asian inspired dishes. Came on a Sunday around 1pm, a prime time to do shopping and it wasn't busy at all. The shelves are flowing with items so there's a lot to look at and if you're unfamiliar like I was, it might take you a solid 90 minutes to just browse and look at what they have to offer. Super well lit and above average clean (no boxes laying around, products were more or less were in their sections etc). The layout made sense sorta. With a few more visits, I'll really get the hang of it. Didn't interact with any employees other than at checkout. Nothing special there. The bakery smelled great and there are food courts on either end of the store so don't be surprised if you overspend with the amount of goodies available.

    Pastries and groceries

    Stopped by Ranch 99 to grab some essentials for cooking and was impressed with the variety. They had most of what I was looking for, including my favorite Aloha Shoyu. Always great to see Hawaii brands carried here! I do wish there were a few more island products, but overall the store was neat, organized, and clean. The lady at the register was nice. Lots of options to choose from, prices were reasonable, and I'll probably be back to pick up more items.

    Remains the best 99 Ranch location in the county in my humble opinion! Newest, most spacious, and cleanest. Vast selection of Asian goods at competitive prices. Service is generally prompt. Easy parking and never too crowded!

    Cream puff
    Allie W.

    I've thought good things about this bakery. Until I tried these cream puffs they sell. They come in a pack of two priced at $4.99. The ingredient label indicates they are filled with Bavarian cream. Heck yeah! Look inside. There's no Bavarian cream. They are filled with fake whipped topping that other grocery store bakeries use. The choux pastry is dry and hard too. NOT worth the price. If you want good cream puffs, go to Japanese market in Convoy to grab real, pastry cream filled, soft and fluffy cream puffs instead!

    Ugly inside out
    Lori W.

    Bad service! we are the regular customers. We purchased the food $100-$200 each week. There was an old chinese woman who giving the ramen samples today 02/03/2024 in the morning located between the register and the produce. If the manager of the business is reading, you are better fire this woman. She was very rude and aggressive. I asked for a small cup of sample, she made a face and shake her head. I thought she was joking or something but when my husband went there for the sample , she did the same thing. What the heck wrong with you!! No service mind. No manner. No wonder your business will never compare to Costco or Target. Any samples she gives away, we will not support and not purchase from your business.

    'Samanco!' Brown Sugar Boba flavor! Otherwise known as 'fish ice cream.' (Do not fret, there's no actual fish in it!)

    99 Ranch Market Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - 99 Ranch Market

    Are duck egg more expensive than chicken eggs?

    Yes people will be no longer be eating chicken eggs

    Do they do fried fish in the seafood section?

    Not at 99 Ranch, I don't recall they did, but they will clean and cut the fish for you

    Do you guys take ebt for the bakery/hot food section?

    Bakery yes, hot food no

    Can we buy items from the fresh sushi section with EBT?

    Yes

    Does the bakery accept ebt?

    Dear April, Thank you for your question. Our store does accept EBT card and follow the EBT… 

    Do they take EBT?

    Dear Jacqueline, Thanks for Inquiry. Yes, we do take EBT card in store.

    Do they have Spring Home Roti Paratha frozen pancake?

    Though we would love to assist you, we are unable to access items and inventory, you may call the store for more accuracy on availability/inventory/pricing. Balboa Ave Store: (858) 300-8899 thank you.

    Does anyone know if 99 ranch carries organ meat? I need beef spleen for a homemade dog food recipe. I typically would just run around to 99 ranch, Hmart, etc looking for it, but I'm trying to limit trips lately.

    Yes, sometimes they have it according to how much there is available. You can ask the butchers for some if there's none packaged. I also cook for my dog. You can also find beef liver at Sprouts too, in the frozen beef section.

    When is the season for fresh ripe durian?

    Honestly, it doesn't matter much. Even in the durian season, they still have to transport them overseas, so the quality is never going to be as good as the countries they originate in.

    When in the year do they have fresh jackfruit?

    Dear Annette, the season for jackfruit is taking place as of now. We receive 2 shipments in a week and carry them almost daily. If you have any further inquiries please feel free to email us at customerservice@tawa.com or direct message us. Have a… 

    Do they sell duck eggs?

    Yes, they are right by the chicken eggs at the section just to the left of the left entrance.

    Do they carry French bread for banh mi?

    Yes

    Can anyone tell me if they are open NYE or Jan 1st 2018?

    I am 100% positive the one on Clairemont Mesa is open 7 days/week and 365 days/year so I would imagine it being the same at Balboa.

So we went to the bar where it was full and waited 5 minutes for a table to open up. We ordered the lemon pepper shrimp appetizer, michelada, and Maui draft. The michelada was delicious. For dinner we had the sushi tower, panko fish taco and the cod fish and chips. The lemon pepper fried shrimp never made it out. The sushi tower had wonton chips and a red, green sauce on the side with pickled ginger and wasabi. My order of fish and chips was slightly disappointing. This was a cheat meal for us so the fries were cold and hard. Note to kitchen: don't serve cold, hard French fries. The cod came in 3 pieces and had a nice tartar sauce. The fish taco was huge but it was dry and needed either more sauce or lemon. Hostess: 1 star Bar staff: 4 stars Kitchen: 2.5 stars Result avg= 2.5 stars Wish our dining experience would have been better. I would have bought a shirt.

I wonder if management just went with the cheapest possible models and well, you get what you pay for. The machines are very sensitive so if you try to put the packing bags you brought onto loading area of the machine, the machine loses its mind and won't let you ring up anything and this stupid alert won't go away unless a human comes by to fix it. Every single time I come to this 99 Ranch, I am fighting with this stupid machine. So much for automation taking away jobs, cuz the woman working these self check out area was working overtime, the poor lady. I am deducting two stars here because this is sooo friggin' annoying. I like wanna pull out my hair when doing this self check out. But beyond that very annoying self check out experience, this Asian grocery which carries many Chinese & Taiwanese specialties is a go to favorite for me. I love their ready made items including all kinds of zhongzis (Taiwanese, Shanghainese, Cantonese, etc.), they carry all kinds of baos, all kinds of ready made Chinese dishes like pig ear, tripe, bamboo shoots, etc. (IYKYK). I spend a lot of time here cuz Im always looking at all the different things they carry especially hot and popular items. Today, I was in here for about 30 min just looking at all the different mooncakes on offer! There are rows and rows of mooncakes from Taiwan, Hong Kong, China , etc. for purchase! I was in mooncake heaven! Overall, I love this supermarket. You will find me coming back again and again. But dang it, can you please replace those not working self checkout machines please??!!
