    a street scene with cars parked in front of it
    Al L.

    I was in Chinatown to do some shopping and decided to check out Dai Lee. During these challenging times, I was impressed that the store was controlling the number of customers that could enter the store for social distancing. The store has two sections where you access the upper section by going up two steps. I checked out some of the staple items that I use to compare prices and they were a little less expensive here. The Lee Kum Kee premium oyster sauce was a great price at three bottles for $10 and I decided to get three. The inventory was extensive in this store which made for narrow aisles. It was hard to social distance as you had to squeeze around fellow shoppers to get by. Overall, a good one-stop shop for all your Asian snacks, condiments and foodstuffs at very reasonable prices. But be aware of the narrow aisles.

    Lemon Crackers!  $1.75!

    I love the merchandise they offer. Lots of variety. Aisles a bit narrow for 2 people to pass through. Pricing is good.

    The famous Mow Lee is a legend in itself. It is one of the oldest continuously operating Chinese…read morebusinesses in North America. It was founded in 1856, which means it has been in business for about 170 years as of 2026. Originally, Mow Lee Shing Kee supplied preserved meats and Chinese groceries to the growing Chinese immigrant community during the Gold Rush era. Today, it's best known for: * Chinese sausages (臘腸) * Cured pork (臘肉) * Chinese bacon and preserved duck * Traditional dried goods and pantry staples Many locals consider Mow Lee a "living museum" because it has survived: * the 1906 earthquake and fire, * the Chinese Exclusion era, * multiple economic downturns, * and generations of change in Chinatown. If you enjoy old Chinatown history, Mow Lee is in the same league of historic institutions as Sam Wo (1908), but Mow Lee predates it by more than 50 years and is among the very oldest Chinese-owned businesses still operating in San Francisco. I always stop by to get a bunch of their preserved goodies as gifts or for personal use... they are all super yummy. Service is a typical no-BS style, just get in - order - pay - and next! ;)

As I chose 3 separate bags, I asked her to individually price each bag which she does, proceeds to staple the this red paper as their business card to the bag, every bag....then throws the bags on the scale to give me a total price. This total price becomes higher because of the papers added, almost 2 bucks. Seriously, this order was already over 250 bucks. What a hustler! She knows it too cause I got the silent treatment after. Not even a thank you......I'm done, if it wasn't for my family and friends, wouldn't go back cause it's the principle of business.

    This is such a hidden gem! I was able to stop by this small Korean market near Japantown, and the…read morehot food section immediately caught my eye. I noticed there was a kitchen in the back of the market, which made everything even more appetizing--I loved the thought that the food could have been made fresh that same day. It was so hard to choose between the two proteins, spicy pork and beef, because they both looked incredibly delicious. I ended up going with the beef, and it immediately satisfied my craving for a quick and delicious grab-and-go lunch. The beef tasted fresh, and the flavors were bold and robust. I also added the Korean soy garlic fried chicken, and it paired surprisingly well with the kimbap. The fried chicken wasn't quite as crispy as I hoped, but the flavor definitely made up for it. I'll definitely be stopping by again whenever I'm near Woori!

    Amazing little Korean market with premade food! I have a feeling I'll be back many many times.....I…read morelove kimbap but it is honestly a pretty time-consuming dish to make, so I'm really glad I have Woori nearby. The filling to rice ratio is really generous, and I like that they have this bigger assorted version with three flavors- fishcake, tuna, and kimchi so I could try a bit of everything! Loved the kimchi one a lot. Gotta come back to try the other flavors out. Didn't have time to explore the rest of the market, but they seem to carry a bunch of Korean ingredients that are hard to find at a regular grocery store! Lots of nostalgic snacks, seasonings, I even saw fresh Korean rice cake which I'll definitely be trying out next time.

Although it feels comfortable with familiarity with some common spots there is always room for spontaneous things appear out of nowhere in SF. Shopping in the city you will find stores with many different goods. I found a grocery store in Chinatown sells alcohol such as wine and whiskey along of tea from China. It's located on Stockton street and it's called Golden Way Trading Company. On a Summer stroll almost Fall I landed on Stockton ( not the city) street at the Golden Way Trading Company. Inside you will discover lots of different items such as mushrooms and noodles ( not Angel Hair) along with different sauces. They have everything from canned Ovaltine to canned Pho broth. You will also find an aisle of liquor ranging from cognac to red wine. This place has many ingredients like corn and others to make breakfast , lunch, and dinner. This is a place worth checking out and especially if you are on a liquor run in Chinatown in SF. San Francisco has an interesting food and grocery "scene" and at the Golden Way Trading Company that sells tea that's "green" and some with or with or without "caffeine" and you can find anything from a bottle of cognac to a can of "Ovaltine" Walking around in SF things happen "spontaneous" you run into a bunch characters on social media in SF with an "alias"and some occurrences that happen in SF "simultaneous "and this all goes down and happens in a 7 by 7 square mile "radius"

They have a lot of options in stock here, so I loaded up on spicy chili crisp, chiu chow style chili crisp oil, and some mala red oil chili sauce by the classic Lee Kum Kee brand. I also bought a bag of chewy 陈皮糖 chénpí táng that I saw next to the cash register while I was at it. Altogether after the 3% credit card fee, my total came to $18.08. Such a bargain, I will be back.
