    What we purchased Today!!!!
    Erlie S.

    This is by far the best meat market we have been too! The quality of the meats, fish, and cheese are amazing! The prices are GREAT and the customer service is the best! If you have any questions about the meats, recommendations or just the pricing per pound you are surely given the best advice with such patience! The process is fast and the meat is delivered to your car. The service all around is 5 stars! You will not be disappointed!!!

    They have great prices on their meats and always stocked up on anything you might need. Just that the Will Call employee have a bad customer service. Always be giving attitude and never want to check on a stocked product. The receptionist are friendly and helpful but beside them everyone else ignores you.

    Me bringing the meat back, wasting my morning, and demanding my money back.  Service sucks and pink shirt manager is a bitchass!!!!!

    So gave this place a try because this place so much closer to me than restaurant depot. What a complete waste of time! Bought 20lbs of asada meat and I should of suspected something when they handed it to me and it didn't seem that cold. But took it anyway and as soon as I got to my place and opened it, the meat had already turned and had a funky smell. Checked the packing date and date was packaged over a week ago. So I immediately called the warehouse and explained to them the problem and that it will be very difficult for me to drive back to their warehouse and if possible they can send one of their many trucks to my place to pick up the meat and deliver a fresher package... Nope that was not the case and they basically told me that I would have to drive back. I'll give any business a little tip... Any time a business serves or sells spoiled meat to a customer... Please just do what they ask to appease them. Is it really worth this trouble and review? So after already wasting most of my morning and having to drive back to this hell hold with 20lbs of open and spoiling meat, you can imagine how disgruntled I was. In fact, while I was on the phone, I gave them a fair warning how unhappy I was going to be if I had to drive back there and they didn't seem to mind. As I arrived the warehouse, I slammed the rotting meat on the table and demanded my money back. They then had the audacity to tell me to take the rotting meat to the back warehouse. That's when i started showing what few customers they had in there the rotting meat and their service was horiible. Then finally a douche looking manager comes out, a white dude with a pink shirt, and ask me what the fucking problem was? Well I told him the fucking problem and he shoots back and says "he's been in this industry for so many years and I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about". I then told his bitchass to step outside so we can handle this and then pink shirt says "I ain't gonna fight you. I'm calling the police". And then I say "that's what I thought... Just like a little bitch". Another manager then approaches me, apologizes and finally gives my money back. You guys remember me now? Listen pink shirt, I've been buying 20lbs of asada daily for my store. I know what the fuck rotting meat smells like. You don't have to be in the industry for so many years to know that your fucking meat is out of temperature, been sitting like that for over a week, and smelling like shit. Next time you try to run up on a dude and telling him he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about, prepare to throw some hands and don't act like a bitch afterwards. Fuck you and your warehouse. Your ass should be canned and this place cited and closed down. I will be personally making a complaint to your usda inspector. Fuck y'all!

    7:30PM June 19, 2026…read more Meat To Go! Do you like barbecuing? How about just making your own fresh dishes at home? Need something to make your hot pot or barbecue special? This is the place! Just keep in mind that everything is high quality & with high quality means you are spending extra cash money $$$. This lowkey spot is facing the north bound side of las tunas close to a dominoes pizza. In between Ardmore Dr & Santa Anita St. Across from a hospital(San Gabriel Medical Center) Right next to Dumplings To Go[They have good dumplings there too]. Parking should be easy on Las Tunas but if it looks packed then you can easily go to the back between Ardmore dr & Santa Anita behind dominos and walk around to their only entrance in the front. Once inside on your right you will see all the different choices of food from cuts like A5 Japanese Wagyu to lamb skewers. They also have tofu, mushrooms, condiments and other hotpot essentials. They accept both cash and card inside. No restrooms. Just buy what you like and go. All of their quality meats are your average tastiness; food tastes better than your regular grocery stores. During summer you can find their Summer Skewer Special only on Fridays Saturdays & Sundays in the back. I between believe their hours are 3PM-8PM some times they open later like 9PM CASH ONLY for this special time. I been coming here for two years for their ribeyes by snake rivers farm and angus prime. Well now since they started their skewers cook out, I had to suggest to them(last week) to have their Wagyu skewers. bomb! They specialize is fresh meat to go. They just added wet aged wet two months ago. tender! Thank you Tim for being such a good man! Renata you are great grill master.

You go in, pick the raw skewers you want from their huge selection, and they pack everything fresh for you. They've got a wide variety of meats and marinades, so it's easy to mix and match and try different flavors in one meal. Everything looks fresh and well seasoned, and once you get it on the grill it gives you that legit street BBQ skewer feel at home. It's perfect for gatherings or a weekend cookout because all the hard work is already done for you. The only downside is the price. It adds up pretty quickly, especially when you start grabbing multiple skewers because there are so many good options. Definitely more of a special occasion or group meal type of place rather than an everyday buy. Still, for the quality, convenience, and the variety they offer, it's a really fun and unique spot when you're craving skewers and want something different from the usual.

I came the day before Thanksgiving to get 3 lbs of lamb and 2 lbs of beef and they had it ready in a tray. They even threw in a free bunch of cilantro. Zelle or credit card (minimum $25). Meat is sliced thin, I came back a 2nd time again for a 2nd round of hotpot.

When you enter the store, they will default to speaking to you in mandarin, but you can ask them to speak English. They're quick to pack up your order and even gave me a small bundle of cilantro as a gift. Maybe it's because I came later in the day or because we bought a good amount. We tried the normal beef, premium beef, lean beef, and premium beef tongue. I would say the normal beef a bit too fatty for my liking, but that's why they offer the lean option. The premium beef is between the lean and normal beef in terms of fat to meat ratio. It's well marbled. They ran out of normal beef tongue so we had to get the premium. Pricey but delicious and definitely our favorite. Although I've never had bad beef tongue before. Overall, everything was fresh, containers were labeled, and service was quick. Prices are fair as it is still a lot more economical than going to a restaurant. They take credit card with a minimum purchase. Parking is available and shared among all the shops in the plaza.

It's not "fake" American wagyu that's barely prime grade either--the marbling is a perfect balance between the richness of Australian/Japanese wagyus and a regular prime. The staff here are generally friendly and very helpful, and work hard to get you what you want. The only issue I've had over the years was one of the older guys behind the counter charging us for something much more expensive than what we actually asked for, and we had to drive all the way back to get a refund. Not sure what the deal was since we ran into him when getting the refund and he seemed annoyed rather than apologetic lol. But! Aside from that, everyone's great. When they're busy, grab a number from the corner and they'll call. There's a great selection in the case of just about every type of meat including fresh seafood. Bought a slab of Icelandic cod today as well because it looked so nice. If you order a lot, they'll ring you up in the back, otherwise they'll let you bring it to the front checkout to pay.

I had a wonderful phone conversation with the owner Ben who personally took my order. We agreed upon a date and time two weeks out since I was going to be out of town for the 4th of July week. They called while I was out of town to confirm the date and time (between 10-11 am) which was great! When I arrived to the store with my son around 11:15 because of the heavy traffic on 91W I went to the counter and was told by a young female that I needed to go to the pay counter. She was curt and not helpful. There was only three people ahead of me so no problem. But the elder gentleman in front of me, who was being helped by the young man who would eventually help me, took an exceptionally long time with his order. I'm just here to pay and pick up. No problem, I'll be patient and keep waiting. Two other costumers are helped by the female counter person and finally the elder customer leaves with his order and I'm next. The young male counter person then waits for me to initiate the conversation and doesn't greet me with a smile or hello or how can I help. I brush it off. I tell him I'm here to pick up my order, a whole pig and give him my last name. He fumbles around a few seconds and then asks how to spell my name and eventually finds my ticket order and asks what time. The time is written at the top of the ticket he failed to notice. I pay for the order. He mutters someone will be out with my order and disappears. No thank you, no attentiveness like he gave the older gentleman in front of me. Again, I've been in my car with my son for over two hours from San Diego in traffic and this fella couldn't give me five minutes of courtesy. I'm waiting, and waiting and waiting while others eventually come into the store and are being helped and leaving. The older female worker at the pay counter is still there helping customers while the younger female at the deli counter is now apparently on a break and making herself lunch. She stops momentarily when a customer comes in for deli service. I'm still waiting by the counter to make sure I'm at least acknowledged but I don't see the young male counter worker who apparently left for lunch since it's now noon. The older female worker can probably see on my face that I'm not happy and says to me he's working on my order. He? Who's he? I am just here to pay and pick order between 10-11. How much time and trouble could it be to put this order together which was made two weeks prior? A different gentlemen finally arrives with three boxes and two large paper bags that comprise my order. On the way out the older female worker says goodbye and was very courteous. At this point I'm pretty upset because this is not a large haul and this order could've easily been second and not 45 minutes! I arrive home after the two hour drive back home to SD and looking forward to the meat, especially the sausages and putting it into the freezer which I cleared out in preparation for the meat. My older son is home to help. As we are sorting and placing the meat I notice that there are no sausages. It's just sausage meat but no links. I guess it's my fault for assuming and not specifying sausage links on at peat some of the order. It was a huge letdown. I had array went out to purchase rolls and buns for a bbq this weekend and to have friends and family over. Oh well. You live and you learn. At least the bacon was great.
