I'm surprised there aren't more reviews for this hidden gem since this has been here for years. They sell all sorts of snacks the aunties and uncles enjoy snacking on such as pickled mangos, dried seafood and crackers that you don't typically find at the asian supermarket. They're located inside Grand Century, but to grab your attention they have tables setup in front of their store displaying goodies. This time around we were suckered into the dried deer jerky and dried chili lime squid. The shopkeepers will gladly will give you samples to try because there are so many goodie bins. The store seems to have this european vibe since they have some european snacks and coffee for sale too. read more

This was the most popular spot for Banh Tet and Banh Chung in Grand Century! I'm so glad they didn't sell out yet on new year's eve. They have varieties with pork or banana. I went for the mung bean and pork version and it was DELICIOUS! They do put a lot of black pepper, but a generous amount of pork belly. I was looking for last minute Banh Tet to eat for Lunar New Year and I couldn't find any at my local Vietnamese delis. My friend recommended that I go to Grand Century - with a grain of salt... this area of town is CRAZY during CNY, so GOOD LUCK finding parking. Tons of people just park illegally here, so there were tons of cars getting towed in the parking lot LOL read more

Licorice lemon is one of my childhood favorite snacks. I am so surprised that I can find it in here. Of course, this is not the Hong Kong style version but I really like the Vietnamese version as well. I bought two bags, one for me and one for my mom. I know she is gonna love it. $7.50 per 1/2 lb. What a great deals :) They have so many different kinds of dried fruits snacks, beef jerky, fish jerky and etc. Definitely will come back for more dried stuff next time. :) Customer service was friendly and helpful!!! read more

Chuc mung nam moi! Happy Lunar Year of the Cat! Tet is the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, and there are many traditions that I want to celebrate with my kids that I hope they will remember and pass down to their next generation when they grow up - decorating the house with flowers and lanterns, receiving red envelopes, sharing oranges, and especially eating Banh Tet and Banh Chung which are traditional rice cakes served during Tet and gifted to family and friends. Memories that are rooted in a myriad of senses become core memories, and that is what true culinary experiences become. I want my kids to remember the smell of the banana leaves, the stickiness of the rice, the bright yellow mung beans, the language of their ba noi (grandmother) as the Banh Tet is shared, and of course the delicious pork belly in the rice cakes. These sensations are perfectly captured in the Banh Tet and Banh Chung from Eurasia Delight with the authentic flavors that remind you of the motherland. The vendor is like your favorite auntie sharing her lovingly made food with you, and the Banh Tet and Banh Chung are packaged prettily like gifts which are perfect for giving to your friends and family when you visit them during the two weeks of Lunar New Year celebrations. Both Banh Tet and Banh Chung are filled with rice, mung bean, and seasoned pork belly, and the difference is in the shape - Banh Chung is shaped in a flat cube shape and may be found year round, and Banh Tet is cylindrical and only found during Tet. To serve the rice cake, my preferred way is to unwrap the banana leaf covering and slice into your desired serving size and then heat it up in a hot skillet, airfryer, or microwave and serve warm. It is a savory (not sweet) treat that can be enjoyed with any meal or even as a snack. Eurasia is located at the back of the popular Grand Century Mall on Story Road in San Jose just past the food court, and you may be tempted to buy similar looking Banh Chung from other shops, but don't be fooled. Only Eurasia has the best Banh Tet and Banh Chung in the South Bay. I hope you can get some to enjoy for Tet before they sell out! Wishing you all a Happy Lunar New Year! And may the Year of the Cat (or the Rabbit) bring you good health and good fortune! read more

AVOID if you are non vietnamese speaking or elderly they will jip you. They sold my mother who is reaching her 80s and overcharged her for an item she did not even need. It happened to me multiple times. The food might be good but if your gonna buy do NOT let them scam you. read more

Found myself here yesterday because I wanted to get a few snacks for a guy that is very dear to me. He is a white guy but probably the most Vietnamese-ish I have ever known (besides my grandma). I have known him for about 3 years and the only takeaway I have thus far is: + he likes huu tieu + he likes bun bo hue + he hardly eats rice + he cannot eat tendon (what a shame) + he likes mangoes + he likes iced teas + he likes passionfruit (the eyes) + he is impatient + he drives like me (that is a compliment) + he doesn't eat pate (he doesn't know what he is missing) + he is probably going to end up living in Vietnam later + doesn't care for burgers *shakes my head* + he orders from Nick the Greek through DoorDash (haha) + Astros fan + Cowboys fan + he does the side eye when I say something appalling + he is a gentleman - chivalry ain't dead + he is damn hard to read Anyway. The reason why I wanted to put together a mini snack bag for him is because he has done so much for me. I don't understand why and it is bothering me but regardless my objective was to get him some Vietnamese snacks so that he can enjoy at work. I didn't know where to start when I walked in. I just asked for anything mangoes and I got beef jerky that looked the most appealing. They have a lot of jerky variety. I bought guava something too. It was a little embarrassing that I had to ask what it was called in English because the lady spoke to me in Vietnamese. You guys should know me by now if you have read my past reviews - I do not eat fruits so I do not know what they're called or what some of them look like. Everything is priced at 1/2lb. Kudos on accepting Visa/MC. I don't understand the lack of service on these reviews because I was treated very well that morning. I even told the lady that I will be back this weekend and I will. Why? It's because I bought 2 things that day for Gavin and I. It was an impulse buy because I do not have self-control when it comes to food. I bought cha lua or known as gio (Vietnamese steamed pork roll). The lady that was helping me told me to try the chicken one. My mind was completely blown away. Chicken?! In my head I was thinking that it must be healthier so I agreed w/o any resistance. It is $1 more than the pork? "It's all good" I told her and then I quickly realized I was speaking to an older Vietnamese woman. Tried the chicken steamed roll 10 minutes ago. Superb. They make it only Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. It is $5 per. You can also place a large order if you want them before their debut on the weekend. I also loved the sample of the ruoc that I tried; no msg and no sugar! I can eat that w/ plain white rice alone. Omg. I am hungry. read more

Eurasia Delight - Wow. Chicken?! I love this place!! - Grocery Near Me - San Jose, California

Just visited this wonderful establishment, a bit hard to find in "Vietnam Town" but well worth it. The staff are worm and welcoming, if you aren't familiar with việt treats just ask for a sample you won't be disappointed. This will be my monthly stop read more

i came here with a couple of friends on Saturday night. We ate at the Saigon kitchen and went to get some beef jerky at this place. my friend who is Vietnamese told us the jerky is very good. I got two kinds of jerky for my Mom and then my friend got some tamarind candy for her daughters I got a small variety pack and 1lb of lemon tamarind I have to hide the tamarind or I will finish all of it It's so addicting. my favorite piece out of the variety sampler that I got was the lemon ginger tamarind. In future if I go back again with my friend I will get more. it's a reminder of when I grew up there is a shop that sells dried plums similar to the taste of the tamarind candies in Hong Kong. I love it. read more

Please don't buy snacks from this place. It was not the same as it used to be when Lan and Hong were there. I think they changed ownership. I live in SF so don't go there often. Went there last month to buy mangoes. It tastes horrible and not so fresh, I thought they must have a bad batch. Gave them another chance, I went there again yesterday. I told them about bad mangoes from my last purchase. The response i got was, "we got it from Thailand, so it must be bad." My craving gave in, so I bought myself bunches of other treats. It was strange that they prepackaged dried beef into one pound bag. Went home, turn on TV and opened the package. The smells were horrid, and some chunks do look like molds. Threw away the whole bag. I'm very disappointed at this place. If I can give less than 1 star, I would. read more

Love this place. Stopped by this store for 5 minutes and was amazed at all the selection of dried products they have here. On the search for dried mangoes I asked the employee/owner if they sold any dried mangoes. Their products sell by the 1/2 pound. Bought 1/4 pound of the dried mangoes for $2.50. read more

Eurasia Delight - 1/4 pound of dried mango for $2.50 - Grocery Near Me - San Jose, California

It's really hard to browse here at your own pace. The place is small but the ladies will keep staring at you and asking if you need any help every 0.5 seconds. It's not the helpful would you like help, it's more like I'm going to keep asking you to make you buy something or to make sure your not stealing. To the point that I don't even want to be here anymore or buy anything. It's unnerving. read more

My momma introduced me to this place awhile back and I've been going here ever since. It's a great place for spicy (and non-spicy) Vietnamese beef jerky. It's a little pricey...at about $9.00/lb but it's oooh so good and addicting. If you don't know what you want, you can have samples of whatever it is that you're eying so have no fear. They also have seafood jerky and a large variety of dried fruit too. I've also noticed that they sell a bunch of imported goodies from Europe; such as cookies, coffee, and candies. I've also tried their pickled guava and it's great dipped in some salt and chili. Yum! It's a great little place full of Eurasian delights. If you've ever been to Sweet Factory (the candy store), this place is pretty much like that but instead of plastic boxes of candy...there are plastic boxes of jerky! It's clean and the employees are helpful and sweet. read more

I only come here when I want to snack on something salty, crunchy and small!!!! =GOOSEBERRIES. the small yellow snackable fruits is it? The lady that owns the place is a SHEISTY ass Biatch. I bought 4 LBS of Gooseberries (my bf loves these with beer), and i asked for "a lot" of chili salt seasoning.. she said she can only give me 2, SHE told me.."I TAKE A LOT OF TIME TO DO THIS FOR FREE" I was like WTF... I asked her how many she gave out with 1/2 LB. she says 1. so then I told her I got 4LB so she should be giving me 8. so she gave me one more and told me i should eat so much salt. its not good for me. IM LIKE WTF, DO MAH now u tryna act like my MOTHA!?!!! and they were not crunchy like before, the batch i got today were super soft. always sample before you buy! read more

Worst experience ever today, I usually come here after getting some sugar cane juice in the same plaza but today I was scammed by the grandma in the back who was the cashier. My wife spent 43, so she gave her 2 20 and 1 10, then my wife turned around and the grandma goes and say there's only 30 dollars so me and my wife knew we gave her 2 20s and a 10. I wanted to argue with her but my wife said she does not want to argue with the grandma cuz she's older. Please save ur time and strength and headache by going somewhere else like vans or don't get any and get scammed by my own people. Will never come back read more

The go-to spot to get your favorite spicy or sweet Vietnamese jerky! If you didn't know, now you know or at least know where to go to figure it out. Kick this one off the bucket list! This small boutique of imported French/Italian sweets and Vietnamese dry goods (e.g. beef jerky, dried squid, cakes) is inside of the shopping center and adjacent to the food court. They let you sample all the selections. But don't stick your fingers, in the bins, or they'll get snapped off! The ladies that work here prefer to do the work for you. read more

They have all very tasty snacks I like the mini sour mango a lot and others beef jerky too

Once you buy stuffs or any dried foods in this store, be careful and keep an eye on them once they pick up a ready to eat food by a bare hands, so ridiculous, they are very poor level of personal hygiene. My husband bought a box of chà bông gà, the lady just used her bare hands and grab cha bông into the box, at least she has to use a gloves or tongs to scoop the food. This is unacceptable, bare hand contact are not allowed for ready to eat foods. Especially during this pandemic Coronavirus, it's so dangerous. I was so upset, I asked my husband should confront her once he saw her was grabbing the food with her barely hands, it's so disgusting, he should gonna refuse to take a food, shouldn't paid and just go. I think we should report to the local health department . They should gonna well train their staffs being very careful not to cross contaminate foods. read more

My favorite place to get Asian beef jerky! Sure, it can get super crowded sometimes and you'll have to wait your turn to get some delicious samples and bags of jerky, but it'll be worth your time! Unlike some other stores in the area, you're not allowed to dig through the bins for beef jerky, someone comes and helps you get it, which makes it much more sanitary. The workers here are pretty nice and let you sample everything you'd like before you choose. They also have really nice sealed bags, which make fantastic gifts! They have a zip-lock on the top so you can reseal them if you don't plan on finishing all the delicious jerky in one sitting! read more

What a fabulous little shop this is! All kinds of Asian goodies like dried, salted plums, jerkies, dried seafood snacks and pickled fruits. My co-workers and I came here today after lunch and bought some stuff to try. The two ladies working in the store were pretty nice and one of them let me sample their dried, spicy plums. So good!! The other lady at the cashier explained the different kinds of pate they sell and the cost of each one. Most definitely coming back to try more yummies! read more

Great selection of Vietnamese and European snacks. I had pate, LU cookies, pickled fruits, mooncakes. All were very good.

So grosss!!! My sister bought me three of packs at 20.00 per pack and while eating it didn't realize the bottom pieces were super moldy!!! Don't tell me the sales person didn't see it while packing it!! So grossed out. read more

They suck!!! Don't come here. They wanted me to pay $9 for half pound of beef jerky scraps. Very disappointed with their service.

Eurasia, I love, love, love your beef jerky, and I always tend to come back for more within the same month. But, why am I giving them a 3 stars? The last time I came by, the customer service from a certain lady in front has been cranky. I don't know if she had a bad day or someone ruined it for her. But I would give this place the benefit of the doubt, due to the beef jerky, and had a great time with the other ladies in the store. I ordered half a lb of the special beef jerky, and i guess she mistook it for 1 lb. I corrected her mistake of course, and asked her nicely, if I could get what I asked for 1/2 lb. She did it... okay, thanks that's nice of you. After that, she told me to meet the lady at the front, and she threw the bag at the counter in front of the cashier... o...kay? I get the point that being a retail employee, there's going to be a lot of harsh customers, but please don't throw the products on the counter if they're going to purchase it, just a thought though. Please improve the customer service, and I'll come back for more beef jerky. read more

They will treat you like a king if you dress nicely and look intent on buying something, giving you samples of all their jerkies to try. But if you are just strolling in casual cargo shorts, don't expect too much service. I found out of this after being in both situations, so I have a lesser impression of this place after this kind of discrimination. I will also mention that their jerkies are well known and tasty, but be sure to know what you're getting first and try as much as they'll let you. This stuff ain't cheap, and when I come here to get gifts for my family, I make sure that the jerky is still fresh. Lastly, I have had to correct the lady at the register before, who (on purpose or not) charged me an extra $5 than what I had purchased. I will give the benefit of the doubt this time, but I will not hesitate to take my business elsewhere if this happens again. read more

This spot is the one in competition with O-Mai, as they're right next door to each other and sell almost identical products. Why is Eurasia Delight always packed, while O-Mai is empty...it's the service! The ladies here are all so nice and helpful, and will stay helping you, even if you're tasting everything in the store and only buying 1/4 lb of each thing. At O-Mai, they started treating me like crap when I went to purchase a little bit of beef jerky at lunch. When I came back at dinner time, I ended up giving all of my business to Eurasia! The big big plus is they carry the Belgian Chocolate Covered Crepes, which I can normally only find at Costco during Christmas. They also have all kinds of pate and butter from France. Their prices are also $1/lb cheaper than O-Mai next door. For sure I'm a fan! read more

This place is best for anything dried or pickled. I haven't tried much of their dried/candied fruits, but I love the dried strawberries. I recommend trying their selection of jerky, especially the curry beef jerky and the dried abalone. These are very well made, and it offers a slightly different flavor than American jerky. I don't think you will be disappointed. In addition, during Vietnamese New Year, they have an array of new year sweets that you absolutely have to try. The pricing is moderate in my opinion. The jerky runs about $7-9 for 1/2 pound. You may think that sounds expensive, but you do get a considerable amount of jerky. The other wonderful thing is that this place accepts credit card, and they don't have a least amount spent limit for credit card use. That should make shopping quite convenient. read more

Try their fruited beef jerky! A little sweet, a little spicy, a little salty. It has such a great balance of tastes. They are very good about letting you sample the jerkies here. It is definitely pricey though, pushing $9 for 1/2 pound. So consider this a jerky luxury. Does anyone else feel bad for the jerky place next door? This place gets ALL the business and they are quiet next door with nearly identical products. Admittedly, we tried the fruited jerky next door and it wasn't as good. Poor guys. read more

If you are a meat jerky whore, then Eurasia is your pimp! You scrounge, sweat, and work hard to make your money and then once you come to Eurasia, you turn over your money to it! Eurasia specializes in Asian goodies and European delights. This means Vietnamese beef jerkies, Vietnamese candies, and European coffees and candies. The set up is a bit like the major shopping center Ben Thanh in Saigon, VN; loads of candies and preserved fruits lined up as well as beef jerky, fish and squid jerky etc. The jerkies come in a variety of spices and flavor: some are a tougher cut, some are RED RED w/ chili flakes, some are sweet and others are smokey...PLUS they got seafood jerkies! Those who love those dried shredded squids pressed into a sheet, Eurasia's got it. The prices are not cheap, so beware if you buy a lot. But if you buy little of different things, that can mean a big bag of meaty goodness! Also available are Asian candies - like durian hard candies (uh no thank you), tamarind chewies, sesame and peanut candies, lychee gummies (stay away! it's like wax!) etc. They also serve traditional VN style icecreams in a little baggie frozen! European goodies include Italian boxed cookies, French butter cookies, coffees....I bought a bit of Italian fruit hard candies, they are minature and so cute! What I don't like is that the patron cannot get the jerky themselves. The set up is exactly like a bulk candy shop (like Dylan's and Sweet Factory) but the employees will grab the jerky for you instead... When they ring you up, ask for a receipt! My parents bought a few bags of different meats and somehow it came up to be 42?! They ring you up but don't break down each item....I'm paranoid if they don't break it down for you..VN are usually honest, but still...can't be too sure! Clean and located at the end of the Food Court, near the restrooms. read more

Went there last Sunday - the day before the Lunar New Year - to get banh tet for my mom. I got the one with pork since that's the kind we eat every year. I opened it on Tuesday and the sweet rice was dry and hard all the way to the center - completely inedible so I threw it in the trash. I haven't tried the jerky here, and maybe it's good, but if they're willing to sell such a low quality product on the most important holiday of the year, then they will never count me as a customer again. read more

This place is great if you got the urge for some Vietnamese snacks! If you like regular American beef jerkey then you gotta try this. The jerkies are much more flavorful and moist, unlike American jerkies that are much drier. I am not saying its better but much different but downside is that Vietnamese jerkies are definitely expensive. Other then that they have a great selection of other type of foods such as imported cookies and chocolates. I suggest you all try the vietnamese yogurt they sell, it is tart rather then just sweet like normal yogurts. And as usual they have the dried fruits which are very good if you just want something to snack on, varying from sweet to sour to salty, try them all! All the employees are very nice and will help you out with anything you need. I tried the place next door, not sure what it is called, but employees weren't as nice and did not seem as popular as this place. read more

service was nice, the lady yelp me out with the deer jerky. It was very good and yummy. I wish you can get more though for the price, but it is okay. Anyways I got it for 8 dollarrs a half a pount which is not too bad, it is 5 big pieces almost, I had a piece. I go back and get some. read more

What really pulls me in here is the beef jerky. Who knew there were so many kinds? I like the curried jerkies and the ones made from fish. The fact that they seem to be always on sale (like 20% off or something) is a little suspect, but whatever. read more

I bought Bánh tét 3 years in a row for tét and it always gets moldy quickly. I don't know if they have bad banana leaves or they don't pack it well, but I've never had this issue buying the same thing from other places. read more

Avoid purchase beef jerky from here! I bought 1/2 lb. of the spicy pepper beef jerky and have not opened the bag for only 7 days. When I opened the sealed bag, there are thick white mold grew inside the bag. I took it back to exchange for another kind but the shop owner refused to replace, instead she treated me like a beggar. She told me that I failed to properly store the product. This store owner needs to be trained in customer service, how to display some manners, common courtesy, and take responsibility for her products. Do not eat the beef jerky from this place as they might not be safe to eat. Those of you who bought the jerky might think twice about eating them because they might pose serious illness and the shop owner is very unwilling to cooperate. read more

Love love their jerky. So many versions of beef jerky. Yes, it is pricey, but totally worth it. Service is great. They let you try samples and help fill the bag for you. Probably the best jerky place I know. They do sell other herbal and dried fruits as well, but I really just love the jerky here. read more

A lot cheaper than the Chinese one in milpitas mall. I like spicy dried guava, dried pear and mango. They also have some exotic Vietnamese bakery. there are a lot of food in this same mall. Vietnamese got a lot of Pandan and tamarind flavored stuff. read more

Came here for Lunar New Years goodies and will likely be making an annual trip. They have the entire spread of what you normally can only get during new years. Only got the candied lotus seeds (sen) since I bought other things from the store next door. The lotus seeds are bomb!! Tender and not overly sweet, some of the best I've ever had (one of the sales ladies said "if it isn't the best, come back and find me"..haha). $13/lb and bring cash unless you're purchasing a lot. (I will probably try their banh chung next year...) read more

I went there to get some food for Vietnamese new year next week. I bought "bánh tét & giò thu?" to plan as the gift for my friends and family. Fortunately, I only got one of each to try before I buy dozen as planing. It was not good like they said. Bánh tét was still raw , I could not finish even 1/4 of it, I had to throw away the rest. Giò thu? is smell very very bad, stink, I had to put in trash too. I am very disappointed. I never go to this place again. Lynn 1/21/2014 read more

My friends and I just stopped by the store after lunch this afternoon. Some of my friends, who are Americans and Canadians wanted to try beef jerky. One of ladies were pushing my friends to get more, and my friends denied her. After that, she did not let my friends to try other dry fruits. FOR ME, that is so weird. I NEVER see any salers having this kind of attitude like her in my life. My friends were really mad and said, "NEVER COME BACK AGAIN!!!" At that moment, I was so embarrassed :-( because I took them to visit at Asian mall while they first time visit in San Jose. THEREFORE, I NEVER RECOMMEND ANY CUSTOMERS OR MY FRIENDS TO STOP BY OR VISIT THIS STORE AGAIN BECAUSE THEY HAVE A REALLY BAD SERVICE THAN NEXT STORE. read more
