This Asian market has fresh produce and wide selection of products. It's my parents' favorite grocery to do all their shopping. Mom likes the vegetables and fruit section and says the prices are good. I think the products also cater to Vietnamese/ Chinese customers. Whenever we go during the week days, it's not too crowded and you have room to go around with your cart. Also, let's talk about the smell of grocery stores...you know what I'm talking about. If it smells bad, you have a sense their cleanliness is an issue. This market doesn't smell bad, so that's a good sign. The lines queue up, but the cashiers are quick and they get you in and out. I can imagine the parking lot could be full on weekends. read more

This location seems bigger than the location on North Capitol. Maybe it's my eyes or the layout. I have been here a number of times because I am confident the prices are fairly cheaper than other places. I came here to do my recent big haul for Tet. I will say though that I don't like how ginger and shallots are offered in bulk, so I go to Lucky's or Safeway for them but I usually take care of everything in one place. Oh, I like to get my ground meat from Lucky's or Safeway or Walmart because of the fat content. I want to see the nutrition label as opposed to asking the gentlemen in the back to get me 2lbs, etc. w/o knowledge of how much fat is in it even if I choose "lean." Go early because parking is not easy and the store can be incredibly crowded. Lines aren't messy even though they can be long. I'm an easy customer and because I'm OCD, I load the items on the conveyer by categories and I inform the checker at the beginning that I would like to purchase bags - as many as needed but usually I eyeball it and tell them I need 5 bags, etc. I have made the following dishes from the groceries I purchased here: 1. pho 2. kimchi udon 3. canh dua 4. heo quay 5. pho xao bo 6. mi xao bo 7. thit dong 8. ca ri ga 9. bun rieu 10. banh gio I don't have any complaints. I go when they open so I usually have no issues. read more

The store is phenomenal. The variety and options surpass any other Vietnamese grocery store I've been to!!! There are several aisles with so many choices of noodles, rice paper rolls, spices ingredients, sauces, cooking sauces, all kinds of things ... phew it's a lot! The one downside is there's not enough support wherein someone can clarify a certain packet or ingredient or label to you. I had to stop another customer and request for help in reading some ingredients. The aisles are packed. The produce section has a lot of variety. There could be a few more Billing counters. That's my observation. I felt rushed and people were pushing my things on the checkout stand. read more

Dai Thanh Supermarket - The name as seen from the parking lot! - International Grocery Near Me - San Jose, California

I recently purchased gizzards and two chickens from this store, only to discover that one of the chickens was past its expiration along with the gizzards. They smelled horrible! As shown in the picture, they simply placed a new label over the old one to hide the fact. After spending thousands of dollars here over time, this is unacceptable. If products are expired, they should be discarded not repackaged and sold. I don't understand why any business would risk losing loyal customers by selling spoiled meat. Because of this, I will no longer be supporting this establishment. read more

Dai Thanh Supermarket - Simply putting a new tag to hide the old. - International Grocery Near Me - San Jose, California

Cheapest and cleanest Asian market in the nation. It's way cheaper than 99 and all their stores all well kept. I hope that they expand to more areas. read more

There are a lot of fresh Viet herbs, fruits and vegetables here. I was very impressed with this supermarket. Parking is crazy as usual but if you're looking for Vietnamese items then come here. It's also cleaner than Lion supermarket and other other older Asian supermarkets. read more

This is a solid Vietnamese marked in San Jose. It's a pretty large store with a great selection. It definitely has decent and reasonable prices compared to other markets. There's a wide selection of fruit, vegetables, and produce. I usually always love getting fruit since they have many varieties. The meat is definitely cheaper here and the staff were friendly. read more

Food selection is good and affordable. The lines at check out are always long and hard to get through. They don't fry seafood here. The produce always seems fresh and restocked quickly. Meat is good quality but they don't offer small cube cuts for pork ribs. Ambiance always seems crowded and busy. The parking lot is usually chaos and hard to drive in. Don't take your nice car here. read more

This is our go to market for Vietnamese food and produce. The vegetables and fruit are always fresh. We really like their unique varieties for fruit. The prices are always pretty great and cheaper than other markets. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Definitely highly recommend! read more

Do not shop here. The owner is giving customers hard time when the customers bag the items in the small plastic bags. When checked out, they removed all plastic bags claiming that they are not allowed to give out those bags except for veggie items. Other markets do not behave like this market. Very bad customer service. read more

I go to this market to buy fruits! I bought mangoes, cherries, rambutan, coconut, sugarcane, Pennyworth, and a bag of tea latte. Overall cheap affordable prices. I always like going to Asian markets. It gets terribly busy on the weekend despite the big parking lot space! read more

This is the newest Vietnamese grocery store to come to San Jose as far as I know. They opened up where Michael's used to be, and I was surprised to see how much they could sell in their space. The parking out front is spacious, though I wish they had more spaces with shade because we had a heat wave coming through the city when I had gone. Not enough to keep me away though! I was tasked with buying some papaya and found what I needed almost right away. I wish there were more nice papayas since I bought what felt like the only non-bruised, mostly ripe papaya left. I proceeded to roam through the aisles to see what I could find and appreciated the variety of Vietnamese prepackaged or frozen foods available. The only thing stopping me from buying more is my limited fridge and freezer space. A new store is a fun change of pace here, and they have frozen foods that I haven't seen elsewhere. Delightful~ read more

It is well known community grocery, whenever I have a chance to San Jose this is my one stop.

It's not the safety place to go . I got robbed when I went there to get groceries . They opened the doors car to took my purse and I lost everything in 1 minute. read more

There is no quality control at all. Bought 6 oysters at N. Capital Market. They are all rotten, smell bad.!

This new (as of Q3 in 2022) Vietnamese supermarket takes over an old Michael's crafts store and makes really good use of the space. It's located on a far end of Tully Rd., one of the main streets where the Vietnamese community is, so it's a nice addition to folks in the area who don't want to drive into the heart of the Vietnamese area. I grew up going to Asian supermarkets and have great affection for the cramped aisles and the smells (odors?) that non-Asians aren't accustomed to. This market has wide aisles (by Asian market standards) and no over-powering seafood smells. The thing that most impressed me about this place was the labeling of their produce. They have hand-written signs for everything, in both English and Vietnamese. As a lifelong Vietnamese speaker, even I felt like I was learning something because they drill down and are very specific on the names of the different produce items. I always call peaches "đào", but looking at the signs I finally learned (in my mid-30s) the Vietnamese distinction between white peaches and nectarines! This is a clean market with good services. Their produce selection is great but their selection of packaged Vietnamese foodstuffs is a bit lacking -- most if their rice, noodles, or other dry goods seem to come from only two or three brands -- but they do have everything you'd think to look for in an Asian market. (No alcohol though). Worth checking out. Worth supporting. read more

This place is not your typical hand end supermarket, instead, it's more like storage or one of those whole sale places. It's got what you need for at lower prices than some other chain Asian supermarkets. It's not decorated at all. They have variety of produces just like other Asian markets but I can tell the prices are lower. They have seafood and poultry at the counter along with some other Asian delicacies. I found that they have an abundance of dried food, such as noodles and seasoning stuff plus boba making ingredients but I'm bulk. Not a bad option for big families. read more

Best Asian groceries in South Bay. Has pretty much all south East Asian groceries. Fresh poultry and meat. Good selection of produce; fresh and properly packaged. Price is often very reasonable. Typically the last place to hike up price cos they have a huge customer base. read more

Check your produce! I recently saw several packs of moldy garlic. I recently brought home oyster mushrooms, not cheap by the way and by the 3rd day it had grew mold! Very disappointed! read more

This place is quite clean, lots of Vietnamese grocery options that you won't find at other places, produce was fresh and so is the meat! Far exceeds Ranch 99 and Lions. I definitely will be coming back! read more

Prices are reasonable and shelves are very organized. Produce used to be very fresh when they first opened but now the quality has kind of gone downhill. Some things also aren't priced on the shelves, which I thought was going to be a temporary thing when they first opened about a year ago. Recently they've hired new employees who are Hispanic in the fish and meat departments. I don't think they have any experience and speak little to no English so they aren't able to take direction or requests well. My mom and I were there yesterday to buy a fish for a special dinner and specifically asked the employee there in simple terms to "clean the inside" (gut the fish) and "take scales off." We pointed at everything. He ended up chopping off all the fins and tail, when we wanted the fish as a whole for presentation. The way everything was chopped was also very jagged and messy, which is why I think they hire people with no experience for cheap labor. read more

Today I spent $3.25 for a pack of rotten red plums. You think they do a better job of picking out their fruits? Never again am I buying in a pack. Horrible and a waste of money read more

They used to be organized and did things accurately. Lately they have been cutting corners and cheating customers with their low quality meat and meat butchers. They hire meat cutters but don't train them to cut meat properly. I ordered one block of uncut Korean bbq short ribs and the non asian guy cut it so it came out looking like all bone scraps. Two pieces of the ribs had big lopsided balls of meat dangling from the ends. The rest of the ribs has just a little meat on them but were basically coming off the bones already but didn't completely fall off. I'm convinced I paid $31 for scraps that they got from giving the full good ribs to other customers and I got their leftovers. Going to grill it tomorrow for Christmas and will add pictures of what I got from this supermarket. I paid an extra $2.99 for the marinade so the flavor is going to be good at least, even for the low quality short ribs I bought and was ripped off. read more

I bought pork belly there and they don't support meat cut service even one of them told me you can cut meat over there. Pretty weird, if no such service, why they say I can get cut there. if they have such service, why they don't give it to me? just because I speak English but not Vietnamese????? if next time I still meet this situation, I will tell all others about this. read more

This chain is my favorite Vietnamese supermarket in Second street San Jose with fresh veggies , fruits, meat, rice ...everything is reasonably priced. I am glad they opened a store on Tully Road which is convenient for the Vietnamese community.Definitely recommend it for everyone to the new chain. The new store is bigger than the one on the Second street. One more thing easier to find the parking on the new one. read more

It's a newly open supermarket and is pretty clean. I used to get my instant coffee supply here. On my last visit they were out so a few days later I called to confirm that they have it in-stock. They confirmed so I came in. They didn't have it. The owner denied that they actually carry it that brand (Oldtown white coffee) and told me I must have called another store. I showed them my phone with their own number I called earlier. This supermarket is old-school with really bad customer service. I was trying to get the attention of a person at the front-counter for the coffee but she ignored me. It looks like this family recently acquired this supermarket as a business and staffed it with family members but they seem to have no concepts of greeting customers or servicing customers, let alone satisfying customers. They just lost one. read more

Brand new store that took over Michael's. This store also has another location I think on story or senter? Competitive prices, very crowded, nothing interesting being sold. Limited variety of Korean/Thai noodles & snacks, no bakery/deli section, produce seem fresh... Tldr: New market with nothing special. There are cheaper Asian grocery stores. read more

This is an unbelievable experiences. I was out there and tried to buy some Vietnamese foods for a friend's this weekend's birthday. While I was at the checkout line; there is a strong husky latino tattoo woman, she wore a huge blue glasses and she was yelling at her boyfriend, I heard she said " Now you got my money, and you don't need me anymore ???" I was like what's going on there ??? The foods were fine, but after a long day, I couldn't take dramas anymore.. read more

The veggie is fresh and good. But the weight is wrong. It is not the first time I found. That keeps happening, so it is not a single case. Net weight is more than 30% less than posted on package! It is cheating! Where we can complain to? read more

Ugh . .I shouldn't have gone here again after the molded rice incident but Grandma wanted Durian. So I bought two frozen durian tray. BOTH of the frozen tray was spoiled/sour. Never again. I have bought the same brand from another store, no issue. But this store is horrible. read more

Great new location. Organize, low price, good selection, very clean and plenty of parking, too!

Worst grocery store you can go to. I bought 2 bags of Rasputin fruits . Both bags were rotten. I can't believe the health department haven't been to this place yet . Selling garbage to customers . Never ever ever going back. They deserve zero stars for selling rotten food to customers. They are close to my house and I thought it would be convenient to shop here but I guess I would rather drive a bit further for the sake of my health and eat fresh foods read more

Super glad that Dai Thanh finally opens a store on Tully Road which is very convenient for Vietnamese community. This chain is my favorite grocery store in San Jose for over 30yrs with fresh produce, fruits, and everything is very reasonable prices. Definitely recommend it to everyone! ! read more

I really like this new supermarket, clean and organized. I went to Dai Thanh Supermarket since 1985, this is my favorite grocery store.

Truly awesome place to get all your Asian produce. Everything was fresh and most was packed in plastic casing. Best of all, price beats everywhere else I been to. New location and very clean. Employees were very helpful and nice. read more

Don't buy groceries here as owner is deceitful. Bought live crab at $6.99/lb on 11/6/2023. When cooked crab at home after returned from market, crab hardly had meat inside as if it was hungry in tanks for at least a few days. Called the market and was transferred to store manager. The manager stated once I cooked the crab, they can't take it back. It must be alive for them to inspect. Told them I bought crab to eat so must cook it to eat, otherwise why would I bought a crab? Asked for manager's name but a lady (manager) who hardly speaks English as I spoke in English, she said she is not allowed to give out name. What a way to cheat consumers. You need to do business in an honest way and need to honor your bad products. I sure never return to this store read more
