Interesting little grocery mart. I came across this place online while looking for specific fruits…read more They have parking in the front and back. I was surprised to see that the fruit section was pretty small. Aisles are well displayed but it did seem a bit bare. Prices and items are definitely on the higher side but overall good quality. I'd come here to buy some extra treats or gifts for people but wouldn't come here that often. Some items you can get in other Asian markets.

I am no stranger to Thuan Phat El Monte Superstore. I have been here many times in previous years…read more It is a huge Asian supermarket comparable to other Asian supermarkets such as 99 Ranch, San Gabriel Superstore, GW or Great Wall Supermarket, etc. Free parking is plenty in the front and back of the store. There are individual merchandise and food vendors along the front inside of store. They carry many different international dry goods, perishable food items, fresh produce, meat and seafood, frozen items, and so much more. You can spend hours shopping here. Most recently, my Mom and I came to checkout the sugarcane juice vendor. We got ourselves one large cup with ice for $7. It is $12 if you want no ice. You have to pay more money if you want all juice. Sugarcane juice tasted refreshing and sweet. I would get it again with no ice next time. I may just bring my own ice or drink it as is.

That said, you have to be careful with packaged frozen seafood. Unless you know exactly what it is…read moreand how to cook it, do not just trust your eyes. Do not assume that something will have the same taste and texture as what you remember from hometown just because it looks similar. I once bought frozen razor clams that turned out to be chewy, smelly, and almost impossible to chew. Another time, I bought a bag of frozen green mussels. They had exactly the same shape and color as the ones I usually bought from Chinese markets, but they were not cooked. Once defrosted, they practically melted into water. Vietnamese markets also sell many kinds of fish by weight. Most of them are good, but you need real experience when buying raw seafood. Otherwise, it is very easy to waste money. Thuan Phat is a typical Vietnamese market in this sense. You can get most of the ingredients a Chinese family needs. Their fried or dried pork skin is actually much better than what I have found in most Chinese grocery stores. But again, only buy what you know. You need to know the quality, and you need to know how to process it. This Thuan Phat also has several tanks and a full seafood counter for live seafood, including crabs, tilapia, and other fish. The prices are lower than at many Chinese markets, and honestly, the quality is not bad at all.

For packaged goods, you better check expiration or best-by dates. I purchased some beef jerky that had best by dates five months ago. I was here in March 2026, and the best by date was October 2025. Some of the $1 blackberries I purchased was starting to mold. They have a lot of items here. Worth it to check it out if you are in need of something right away, but they close early.

They have alot of stuff that is expired that's still good or about to expire, there's some…read morebargains to get. They had Ezekiel bread for $1. They had archers beef sticks about expire in a week, still good since they're dried and vacuum sealed for $1 a box which is like giving it away free. Not a bag of them but a box that comes with 5 or 6 bags. The produce was average price nothing cheap, it seems that they get different stuff everyday or week. I only been for the beef sticks since someone posted it on instagram. They do have a tik toc account they you can follow and they post whatever is a hot deal. Parking is decent got there around 10 am, but as soon as I got there on a Saturday it started getting crowded and parking lot full. Like I said I'd go there only if I saw something worth driving for. THEY TAKE CASH ONLY AND NO RETURNS. JUST LOOK AT THE EXPIRATION BEFORE BUYING.

Staff speaks English for all my ABC children that were sent by their family to buy a chicken.

If you tell the staff you need the chicken for praying they will look for one that isn't butchered "so intensely," one that is "more presentable."
