It seems the tariffs have not hit this spot yet. They have products mostly from Asia at the Pang Kee Bargain Market. It also has a signage for CJ Latino Inc.

You find a lot of different drink mixes for milk tea and also cans of Ovaltine. You will also find different types of tea. Instant noodle soups are found from Pho Bo to Spicy Ramen. A great place to find international drinks and foods from Asia.

I didn't know about the historical significance of this market until I read about it in the nearby…read moreTenderloin Museum (review: http://bit.ly/2pMwOjA) and how it was and continues to be an essential business for the local Southeast Asian populace who started pouring into the embattled area since the 1970's. You would think the Cambodian proprietors would have expanded their space by now, but no, San Francisco real estate being what it is, the market remains a claustrophobic space where they maximize every square inch with produce and other goods native to that part of the world. You will be on sensory overload. The unique inventory includes jars of pickled eggplant and peppercorns (photo: http://bit.ly/2J1RagV), cans of grass jelly and fruit cocktail (photo: http://bit.ly/2J4epH6), and bunches of plantains (photo: http://bit.ly/2GCdIqm). It's in the deepest part of the 'Loin, so be cautious getting over here, but if you're intent on creating an authentic Thai dinner, I can't think of a market less likely not to have that particular ingredient you desperately need like kaffir lime leaves, fresh galangal, and mangosteens. The staff is also really nice and helpful here, and there's certainly no mistaking this business for the fashion-forward Meraki Market a few blocks away.

Don't be too freaked out by the neighborhood, it's all worth it to support this 35+ year old market and make some delicious food. UPDATE: Many years later, still the same; still amazing! Through the pandemic, through the changing neighborhood, the Battambang Market is still my go to place for SE Asian ingredients and fresh produce. Even with the H-mart now in town, this is still the only place you can find fresh holy basil and fresh green peppercorns. Also, love the ladies who work here! Very sweet every one of them!

But be careful, because it's narrow a$$ aisles are insane. You WILL be touching each others butts or hips and shoulders. I never stay there longer than 10-15 mins as it gets extremely overwhelming. I feel pressured to leave or hurry and pay because it's so narrow and it's uncomfortable when you or someone wants to pass by. I don't think I full looked thru every thing to see if they even have an item or not. It's even more annoying when you line up to pay. Because there's only one line. And it gets pretty long even tho it may be 4-5 ppl because it goes into the aisles. Again, which is extremely narrow!!

On my most recent visit, I noticed several of the items on the shelves were past their best before date by a couple of months up to a year.

It's a fairly small store but I could see that it was chock-full of Asian snacks so I made a beeline for it! This place didn't disappoint. It's full of Asian snacks both savory and sweet and the prices were not exorbitant. Definitely some deals to be had here. I'm pretty sure I've paid more for the same items from places like Hmart or Nijiya so good place to stock up. Also happy to see a more varied selection here, items I haven't seen elsewhere besides in Asia! The hot commodity here is the fancy cotton candy machine at the front of the store. It's the same one that's in Sea Pot at Daly City and it was an obvious hit with a lot of kids and their families. It made shopping a bit difficult as there was such a crowd around the machine. Overall great addition to Chinatown. I'll be back!

Actually, I hardly ever go to Safeway anymore. Shelves are always well stocked, store is very clean, and just a pleasant place to shop at. I've never tried the food at the self-serve buffet, but it usually looks pretty fresh. I like that it's never too crowded here, so you can maneuver your way around the aisles easily.

Please see my earlier review from 2020. I genuinely love Woodlands, but the experience has declined…read moresince COVID. I've had multiple distressing interactions with on-site security. In one incident over a year ago, another customer verbally harassed me and threatened physical harm while I was shopping. Her child was left unattended and was knocking items over, which I reported to security. The guard failed to do his job and did not intervene appropriately. When a supervisor arrived, the situation was handled much more professionally. I should feel safe shopping in my local market. That guard no longer works there, but the experience was upsetting and difficult to move past. Unfortunately, in January 2026, I encountered similar issues with a new security guard. He has repeatedly followed me around the store without cause. Most recently, he approached me unnecessarily, stood uncomfortably close, and spoke to me in an intrusive manner while I was selecting items. His behavior showed poor training and a lack of respect for personal boundaries. These repeated experiences with security staff are negatively affecting the atmosphere at Woodlands. I am a respectful, regular customer and do not want to feel uncomfortable or monitored without cause when shopping. Proper security training and professionalism are essential for customer safety and trust.
