The shop isn't very big but feels super clean inside and it doesn't have a meat smell. There's two huge meat fridges showing you what they have, plus couple fridges and shelves filled with stuff that you might need to cook with your food like spices, aromatics, seasonings. The staff here are really nice and helpful too. They even give you complimentary containers of their salt rub. My partner and I specifically come here specifically for their Picanha steaks which are extremely high quality and affordable. They're great to cook using the reverse sear method or grill like they do at Brazilian steak houses. They taste fantastic with chimichurri or even just with flaky salt because of how buttery the steaks are on their own. The last time we were here, we got 10 steaks for around $150 and we seriously thought we'd be spending way more. Of course the cost will depend on what you, like the prime rib here is very expensive, but weigh out your options! I do think everything else here seems to be a great price for the quality compared to mass grocers. I'd highly recommend anyone to check out this shop!

The pictures I've seen didn't do this place justice, it was way bigger then I expected, it reminds me of hmart but there was no crazy crowds as a hmart can have so we were able to leisurely shop without having to navigate oncoming cart traffic thought the aisles. We stocked up on various snacks and there was a huge amount of grab and go foods. We were heading for dinner after so I didn't get to try what I wanted but there is next time because the bossom looked delicious. We got a bunch of the Dubai cookie mochi things, an other baked goods, some chicken wings and japchae. The prices I feel are really good. I'm not sure if it'll replace my trips to mitsuwa entirely but I really can't wait for the next time we are in that area to visit again

We did end up getting koobideh, heart and veggies. Everything was absolutely delicious for an amazing price. The koobideh was juicy and flavorful, better than most persian restaurants nowadays. The heart was also good, but definitely not something for everyone. I am excited to come back to try the liver/kidney if all of this was so good! You can call beforehand for takeout because it does take around 20-30 minutes for it to be ready. I called multiple times trying to place an order and no one was picking up. When I walked in I saw it was only one guy working and he apologized for not answering as they had a large order. The guy was super sweet and apologetic, which made me give the full 5 review.

I finally was here during the day so made it a point to stop by to pick up kebobs for to go since it's a market vs. a restaurant. You choose the kebobs and he grills it right outside the store. By calling it in, we had a shorter wait but still with enough time to browse the store. We ordered extra with the intention of sharing with my parents, not realizing that most of the kebobs with house spices had a kick to it with some too spicy for me so definitely too spicy for them. So, the charbroiled lamb chops were the only ones that I was able to eat since it was only salt and pepper. Overall, great price and friendly service. Just be aware to specify spice levels if you're sensitive to heat or order ones with just s&p.

This was definitely huge sticker shock for me because I'm usd to getting mine from Safeway or Costco where they are less than half the price, but at least we were supporting a local business. They had a good selection of other meats including different seasoned bacons, marinated chickens, sausage, among other stuff. Again, pretty pricey, but it's an old school deli in Los Altos, so not too surprised by most of the pricing. Enjoyed the corned beef and bacon we got!

The sandwich bar is back! Covid must be over…read more I went in for my usual pilgrimage to Dittmer's. It usually takes me two and a half hours but hey I get to see my friends and drop in on Dittmer's. I usually buy the smoked ham hocks because I am addicted to a Cuban black bean soup. I have tried smoked ham hocks from other sources, but the results were so bad that I threw out the soup. The only place I have found that has true smoked ham hocks is Dittmer's. I noticed the price of ham hocks has gone up. But many of the other prices have held steady. The store remains neatly organized and is spic and span. It's kind of what you would expect from a German shop. Carlo's black bean soup from All around the world cookbook by Sheila Lukins. Totally worth a 2.5 hour drive. 2 pounds of black beans Quarter cup olive oil 3 cups, diced onions Eight cloves of garlic, bruised and peeled. One smoked ham hock 6 quarts water 2 tablespoons +1 teaspoons ground cumin 1 tablespoon dried oregano Three bay leaves. 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper Pinch of cayenne 6 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley 6 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves. 1 teaspoon salt Two medium red bell peppers, diced reserve a quarter of a cup for the garnish Quarter cup dry sherry 1 tablespoon pack of brown sugar 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice. One cup of crème fraîche or sour cream. Soak the beans overnight, drain and rinse. Heat the oil over low heat and sweat the onions and garlic, about 10 minutes. Add the beans with the ham and the water to a large pot. Stir in the 2 tablespoons cumin, the oregano, bay leaves, black pepper, cayenne, and 2 tablespoons each of the parsley in cilantro. Bring to a boil, then simmer, uncovered until the beans are very tender and the liquid is reduced by about 3/4. This will take about one and a half to two hours. Transfer the bone to a plate and let it cool slightly. shred the meat and return it to the pot. Stir in the remaining 4 tablespoons parsley, 2 tablespoons cilantro, salt, and all except 1/4 of a cup of the bell peppers, the remaining 1 tablespoon cumin, the sherry, brown sugar and, lime juice. Simmer another 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Adjust the seasoning and serve hot. Garnish with a dollop of crème fraîche and a sprinkling of the diced peppers and chopped cilantro.
