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!!

Well I finally decided to stop in and check out this tiny, unassuming store front that normally people will passby without a second look . Ok so I stepped in. Nice and clean atmosphere with no one there except me on Monday 10am . Just me and storekeeper. It was like a slow moving western as I was in one corner and he in the other. For anyone coming here that do not speak Chinese Mandarin, get your Google Translator out. I should have used it but didn't think about it because I thought I could get by. Umm not in this case. The struggle was real as he knew no English and I knew no Chinese. lol what a mismatch. As I was struggling with words tofu and pointing to tofu in glass case, I think he finally figured out what I wanted when I said 50 cents one. . I said I wanted 6 pieces and motioned 6 with my fingers. I paid cash and it was a successful transaction. Phew what a relief! So when I went home to cook the firm tofu, wow! It was really fresh tasting and soft texture! Ok I must admit dad was right. Father knows best in this case. And yes I would go back and take out my Google Translate and used how to use both the voice version and text version to see which is easier to use.

It's now a San Francisco legacy business. Inside it feels like an imperial dining palace on top floor of the super market but the ground floor is stacked with drinks and food imported from different countries . You will find inside aisles of diversity of edible items from China, Japan, Vietnam,and other countries. This place gets raw like they have raw fish and chicken feet. They also offer raw meat for hot pot lovers like American Waygu and lamb shoulder from New Zealand. It's a pleasant surprise to see so much food available. You will also find duck eggs and different types of noodles. You have to plan a visit before August 1. Tariffs are on its way to the USA whether you like it or not starting this Friday . Deals are being cut with countries who are willing to negotiate. This Friday is a new month because it's the new TGIF= Tarrifs Gets Implemented Friday USA Tarrifs on August 1st are being "impose" on electronics, food and "clothes "some say we are in rough economic waters testing your own" ten toes"but you will be charged an arm and leg because some import prices this and last year has already "rose" with economic uncertainty that nobody can predict and nobody "knows" what direction it "goes" creating some anxiety and economic "woes" We will see prices rise on imports of electronics, food, and "clothes " if nobody is buying them the economy "slows"creating future economic" lows" so buy more made in America goods and services is what I "propose "so the economy " grows"

I've been a loyal customer here, but the service and quality have really gone downhill lately…read more Recently, I asked for 25 thicker beef slices to wrap mushrooms, but they prepared too much and pressured me to buy $74 worth of packages multiple workers also came up and tried to pressure me as well. I purchased two out of three packs. They also tend to over-pack orders--like giving me 3.5 lbs of lamb instead of the 3 lbs I asked for--only for the bottom of the package to be filled with scrap lamb and uneven cuts. I'm only speaking about the hot pot cuts. Everything else is OK. They do have a section where they're selling old restaurant supplies cause it is a old restaurant also good snack snacks in the back, but I definitely will not be back from my hot pot meat.

The supermarkets of Stockton Street are pretty much the same in content: meat, vegetables, seafood,…read moreand canned, bottled and packaged dry Chinese and other Asian foodstuffs. My experience has been to go store to store as my good friend Alice (who is from Hong Kong) taught me to do, and see what was the freshest at each shop, because normally one will be good on chicken and another on bok choy or whatever. It's just the nature of things you wind your way down Stockton buying your groceries here and there. That said, come to New United for: green vegetables, as in bok choy and other green, leafy things like kai-lan (芥蘭) because they are often very nice here; the seafood at times is quite good (look for shrimp or crabs!) as can be the poultry; and their selection of bottled sauces is better than most of their competition.

Most grocery places in Chinatown are quite similar, almost identical (and how could you *not* love…read morethe red plastic "Thank You" bags?) I seldom got anything but veggies and meat at this place and never paid much attention on anything else. But then this one day they decided to showcase the fresh shrimps from the tanks by putting them in a separate area right besides the veggies and started yelling, "5.99 a pound of live shrimps!" (of course in Chinese.) It literally stopped me because I love live shrimps, prawns, lobster, crabs, or any seafood with multiple legs (or no legs-- like fish.) Yes, it's that CHEAP and that FRESH and that DELICIOUS!! I bought 2 pounds, cooked and ate 1 in half an hour for dinner. BTW, seafood is good (but really, only best) when it's fresh and fastest way to lose weight when replacing meat.

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.
