It was nice to see certain items that I had not seen in so long. The store is a bit on the smaller side, but whichever way you look, there's something for everyone. Goods are a bit pricier than most, but not many places sell goods directly from Taiwan. As others mentioned, it was very clean and have a good selection. There are plenty of parking near the store, especially since Big Lots has closed years ago.

It's been ages since I visited Taiwan but I do remember all the good food! The shop is tidy and they manage to pack a lot of items in here while still making it feel uncluttered. Some items they had for sale when I was here were various high grade oolong teas, the Taiwanese version of Otter Pops, pineapple cakes and soy sauce. They have a frozen section in addition to their shelf stable foods with items such as fish and various dumplings. While the cashier spoke both Mandarin and English, the person giving out samples of oolong teas only spoke Mandarin (In hindsight I should have asked if she spoke Taiwanese too). I'd love to come back next time I'm in the area to get more goodies for myself and as gifts.

I came here to restock some herbal medicines and got exactly what I needed. I asked the lady behind the herbal counter and she was kind enough to help me locate an item in the aisles. It was also really awesome to speak and hear very regional Cantonese here. I heard mostly Mandarin in the store, but think some if not all staff can speak both languages. Lots of parking by this shop. It is located right across from the big Costco warehouse in the same lot. You can't miss it! It was a nice shop and I'll definitely be returning next time when I need some Chinese grocery and herbs!

The…read morestaffs here are usually okay as you can see their main demographics and Mandarin or Cantonese speaking Asians. They have a large selection of dried Chinese herbs, sauces & condiments so it's fun to shop here once in a while. However today, on a beautiful Saturday morning around 10 am I walked in trying to grab some fresh produces, I asked if I could just have a cabbage out of the box and the Cantonese uncle was telling me they don't have the cabbage. I pointed and said it's just right here if you could just pick one for me and he responded with annoyance and said firmly they DO NOT have cabbages. Usually the staffs sorting the produces are very nice but I guess I hit the wall this time. Don't feel like I am welcomed here and will shop at other local Asian markets from now on!!!!

I didn't get anything ready made, but might drive here for lunch sometime, lmao Good selection of different miso, some crafted miso as well. They have Organic Tofu for $1.99, and also packs of 3 nattos for $1.79-$1.99 We also got some umeboshi, which Cindy helped me find. Both of the staff I was talking to treated me kindly and were friendly! Also got Warabi Mochi Matcha - Must get! It's so addicting, the mochi is more jello like and so good + refreshing! The mugwort rice cake with red bean paste was also good, but I may reconsider getting this again, just not as good as the Warabi Mochi Matcha! Also picked up a Shimanoka Shiso - not sure how to use this yet, but very excited to have on bread or as a topping on rice. They have a good selection of ice cream, some cute utensils/pots/bowls section, as well as a small medicinal section. Really loved perusing this store, will probably be back since I realized I'm out of miso lol

I used to come here as a kid and it's nice to see it still going strong. They carry a ton of staple Japanese items, whether you're looking for natto, snacks, or Japanese drinks. Sometimes I'll just stop by to check out their sushi selection. Always something good to grab. Definitely a neighborhood gem.

Bottom Line Up Front: Great Wall Supermarket is a cramped…read moreChinese grocery store that has decent selection at affordable prices, but gets so busy it's not worth going to except right when it opens or right before it closes. The Layout: Like most other Asian grocery stores, it is poorly laid out. Great Wall's goal appears to be to pack in as much product as possible in its average-size store rather than focusing on the customer experience. In the produce section, you can barely get two carts to pass each other in opposite directions. Same story in the aisles with shelves. All it takes is one inconsiderate shopper to stop in the middle and there's an instant traffic jam. The Checkout Area: Same deal here. Great Wall packs pallets of products all around the cash registers to try to get people to make last-minute impulse buys when this area could be used instead to have logical serpentine lane dividers that could control the crowds who have lined up to pay. Instead, people form long lines that spill into the aisle with shelved products, preventing those who are still shopping from finding the items they need. The Customer Service: It's fine, which is a nice surprise -- most Asian establishments have horrible customer service with bad management. Workers aren't super friendly nor will they go out of their way to help you, but they are quick and competent. The Selection: The produce section has a good array of Asian fruits and veggies, but it's not as extensive as other places. They didn't have the one vegetable I was looking for: rau muong (AKA water spinach or ong choy) during my visit. There's a large meat and seafood section, a good amount of seasoning and dry goods, and a decent frozen food section. The Prices: Shockingly, the prices were moderate to affordable. A nice change of pace in the current economy of inflation and overpriced products. The Conclusion: Despite the selection and affordability, the layout, overcrowding, and lack of good management makes this grocer place low on my go-to list. Great Wall Supermarket is a very appropriate name, as the long lines of people waiting to check out blocks the aisles like the famous fortified structure in China. Go here only if you are low on options.

I had not been to this Great Wall (GW) Supermarket in over 6+ years, until a week ago. I was in the…read moreplaza to grab some food and while I was waiting for it to be ready, I stopped by GW to grab a few items. Last month, I shopped at the GW Supermarket location in Covina, due to the convenience of grabbing an item after meeting up with friends for lunch at Haven City. Even though Rowland Heights (and the surrounding areas) are saturated with Asian supermarkets, GW Supermarket is convenient if one is in the plaza grabbing a meal or a drink. It is always about location, location, location... I feel the prices are a bit higher than 99 Ranch or H Mart but it is due to convenience. I only needed to grab an item and looked around, but everything else was just so pricy that I just grabbed the one item. It seems with any GW location, the lines to checkout are always so long, and they had a few open. Parking here is always a bit tight, very narrow parking spots, and with the amount of storefronts is a lot. GW Supermarket would never be my go to, especially for the prices, the not very fresh produce, and the long lines, but it is convenient if I need to grab something if I am in the plaza.

Hubby insists on driving by this place each time we're in the area to see if it's open. Today was…read morethe first time they actually were. I finally noticed the faded sign which says their opening hours and it says "closed" in Chinese for Sunday which has typically been the days we've visited. I was a bit excited. In Chinese the store's name is "New Shanghai Food Products". There is no English to be found, however, it's located directly to the right of TS Emporium so you won't really miss it. However, now that they're open and I've wandered through the store I feel letdown. There is nothing special stocked. Yes the stuff they had are Shanghainese items, however, you can find it at your local 99 Ranch Market very easily. They didn't have homemade buns or wontons, dumplings or Chinese tamales. Everything was pre-packaged. Don't bother going in here unless you're in the area. You can get everything at Ranch and probably cheaper.
