The prices are grossly inflated for non perishable items. For example a small bottle of Crystal hot sauce was $4.99. There also a strong stench of old fish in the store so get what you came for and hightail it out; the smell is very offensive.

I've become a regular at Oto's. I love the variety of items they offer from fresh produce to shelf…read morestable items, candy, hot food, and even their poke at the fish counter. I regularly stop in to pick up treats, drinks, produce like mushrooms and okra, and their poke and hot meal options. I also like their home goods sections with so many cool ramen bowls, sauce containers, and utensils. I'm always excited when I stop in when it's slower because I can take my time browsing. Whenever this happens I end up leaving with a lot more items. I appreciate that they carry a wide variety of items including some ingredients and items that are hard to find in the US and even at other Asian grocery stores. I've stopped into many different stores and I feel like Oto's has variety and quality at a great price. They do have their own parking, but be careful because it can be pretty tight and there's usually a good amount of cars coming in and out.

Oto's might be my favorite specialty grocery store in Sacramento.I dont go there often as it's not…read moreon my path home or even close to my work-in fact every time I have to go to Oto's I have to go out of my way to make a special trip-that may be why every visit there feels so great What do I love about Oto's-Let's see I generally never know exactly what I'm going to find when I go there-they are always changing up their stock-I know I can count on some great sauces for my home dishes-I know I can count on some new salty snacks from overseas every time I go there-I know that I will most likely find some new ramen flavor that I never ran into before-I know that I probably will find a Funko Pop that I wasn't expecting every time I go there-these are just a few things I love about Oto's.We won't even bring up their amazing fresh produce or their cold bar foods they offer on a daily basis-My mochi palette would not be nearly what it is today without all the great mochi products I've picked up at Oto's-it really is just a great place to shop and I'm happy every time I know I'm going to go there and every time I'm leaving-it's awesome. But none of those reasons are the real reason I truly love Oto's,let me tell you what I really love.....Late last year I decided I was going to learn how to make my favorite food in the world and that is sushi.I went ham,I got the knives I got the kits,I got the rice maker,I got all the seasonings but what I didn't have was a spot to pick up the highest level of fish that was needed to really make homemade sushi pop and that is where Oto's came in to save the day. Their daily "sushi-grade" tuna and salmon that they sell in the back of the store is so next level-even a novice like myself cannot mess up a homemade sushi meal.They have so much to offer at Oto's,all the different levels of salmon and tuna,depending on your budget but all of it is amazing. I will forever be indebted to Oto's for helping me raise my sushi game at home and making my wife think that I'm just the best sushi maker-when it was always just the high quality fish offered at Oto's that did the work-Thank You Oto's for that. In closing-if you ever find yourself in the Land Park area and want to see what all the hype is about at this incredible spot or maybe you just want to try your hand at some home sushi making,be sure to stop by Oto's Marketplace-it truly is a gem amongst gems. PS....Parking sucks here-no way around that one unless u get lucky or have a handicap placard-don't like the parking.

Stopped by on Sunday May 10th, Mother's Day…read more The good: Bigger location than the ones I've been to. Pretty clean and organized. Seafood area smell was minimal, which was great. Normally when you come into an Asian store, the meat/seafood smells can get overwhelming. This was not the case with this location. Food court area looked spacious, bigger than I've seen in other 99 R locations. The bad: None that I can point out. The stupid: I had the 99 Ranch app and showed barcode to cashier to scan. She looked at it and said "tomorrow." I asked why. She just said "Not today, tomorrow." I'm like, we're here now, we don't need to come back tomorrow, we're not understanding. She called for a manager to come up. Manager came up, said the same thing. Very confused, made it a disappointing experience. Not sure if we want to come back to this location, it rubbed us the wrong way and thus, 3 stars. If I could, it would be 2.5 stars instead, but rating system doesn't give option to give half points, lol.

Adj: Incredibly impressive and Excellently Extensive…read more It's been many years since my last review and this is not my usual Asian/Chinese grocery market since SF market opened on South Land Park Dr and is closer and much less crowded. However, I was in the area for lunch the other day and decided to do some shopping here and was blown away by how clean and well-organized it is as well as the comprehensiveness of the store's offerings. At the entrance, my kids were captivated by the little games at the front lobby. Then there's the food court, it looks very yummy and the offerings of roasted chicken, ducks, pork and other meats look very enticing had we not just had a very full lunch, I would've definitely grabbed lunch here. There's also the hot food section w/classic "fast food" Chinese dishes like chow mein, fried rice, potstickers, etc. All of it looked pretty fresh and smelled delicious. A new to me section is the Grab and Go foods. I don't recall those in the past, but perhaps it's been available for awhile. So convenient! There's quite a few different choices to include baos, dumplings, chicken, and duck, and several kinds of other meats, all precooked and just need to be rewarmed to be Ready-to-Eat. Then, we walked to the meat section and it's very extensive, all kinds of beef, pork, poultry, fish, seafoods, of both fresh and frozen varieties. Next, there was the produce section with tons of Asian veggies and fruits, all looked quite fresh. The tofu section along in the cold case of the produce area was big, so many kinds to choose from and 99 Ranch even has their own store brand of tofu now, that's news to me. Finally, the rest of the store was filled with shelf-stabled pantry items from snacks like chips, cookies, crackers, packaged pastries, other candies and sweets, to dry ingredients for cooking like dried fungus, mushrooms, herbs, dried fruits (like dried dates for soups), and lots of sauces in jars. Canned Asian drinks and bags and boxed tea bags and tea powders were also widely available with an incredible selection to choose from. The store itself also houses several individual boutique stores to provide convenient services such as a travel agency, an internet and mobile phone store, a clothing store, a tea and TCM (traditional Chinese Medicine) type herbal store, and several different smaller restaurants (more like fast food cafes). As we finished shopping, we walked past the bakery. It was filled with all the yummy carbs you can imagine from sliced breads to bao's and buns to all kinds of custom and ready-made birthday and other special occasion cakes. Overall, I was really impressed by how much 99 Ranch can stock in their store and the sheer variety they offered of every kind of items. Service was friendly and helpful, staff are all busy stocking or helping customers check out, so mostly it's a self-service store, but if you were looking for something, a staff could be found to point the way. I'm glad I came in and saw all the things 99 Ranch offer now so when I'm looking for something specific I cannot find at SF Market or another grocery store, I'll come here and probably find it.

I recall the first time my wife suggested that we come shop here, I was not very keen because I'm…read morenot too adventurous and it seems this Indian supermarket is out of my league. However, I went with her anyways and was pleasantly surprised by the delicious things I found that are now my regular treats as well as how friendly the staff and other customers are here that it's really not a big deal that we stick out a lot, haha.. Specifically, I found this snack called Khatta Meetha, a very popular "Indian snack mix (namkeen) known for its balance of sweet ("meetha") and tangy or sour ("khatta") flavors" according to Google. So it's like a snack mix made of chickpea flour noodles (sev), fried rice flakes (poha), green peas, and roasted peanuts. The seasoning is what makes it so good, yes, it's definitely the combo of sweet and tangy that makes it so tasty. Anyways, they've got a ton of fresh produce, ethnic ingredients and frozen foods as well as plenty of pantry foods like large bags of basmati rice, giant cans/jars of ghee, etc. I don't really cook so I won't know what to do with any of these food items, but everything looks fresh and reasonably priced. All in all, a great place to get South Asian authentic ethnic ingredients and prepared foods, and the bakery sure looks like a great place for anyone with a sweet tooth. They even have a food truck out front with seating if you're looking for a delicious Indian meal.

Adj: good South Asian specialty supermarket…read more Taj Supermarket has been around for quite a few years now. The space used to be an Office Depot iirc. In any case, it's a grocery store in the Florin area of Sacramento, and shares the same parking lot as Costco South Sac, so it's easy to come by after regular grocery shopping. Taj is a really good-sized Indian grocery store that focuses on providing what you won't find in regular stores. It's pretty well known for its extensive selection of spices, ethnic snacks, fresh produce and specialty items from India, Pakistan, Fiji, and other South Asian countries. I like to come every once in awhile to refill my spice jars bc they sell spices by the bag so it's more economical and they offer so many different spices! Some popular features that I notice their regular customers really like include an in-store bakery, their sweets section, and food trucks serving authentic street food right outside the entrance. The service is efficient and they always have complimentary chai tea which is nice when it's cold out, and even in warmer weather, it's a nice gesture even if it's too hot for steaming hot tea. The staff are usually busy helping or checking out customers or stocking or organizing shelves, but they are available to help find items and for questions if you just ask. Overall, it's a great and large supermarket that I find convenient for finding specialty ingredients like curries, ginger powder, garam masala, etc for cooking Indian cuisine or to add some Indian flavors to my home cooked dishes. You will notice that I took pictures of unique veggies that are usually not sold at a typical supermarket, and also of my favorite Indian snacks and sweets.

A branch store from their San Francisco main store, selling lots of hard to find dried goodies / home staples like dried mushroom, dried scallops, wild ginseng, monk fruit, and herbs. Very nicely packed. Love the fact it is the real stuff and not the average stuff from local supermarket. A lot of the organic snacks and tea items. Was eyeing on some tea and jam but figured out will do it next round. Also have a freezer section with dumplings, bread, seafood and ice-cream. Got miso and kimchi too (can't live without those). Also some hard to find Japanese ice/cream items to help at this hot weekend. We will return.l

In my opinion, you'll be better off going to other Afghan restaurants in Elk Grove. Never going back here.

It gives me the feels more…read moreof a large warehouse store rather than a small neighborhood market It does have a large variety of spices, sauces, canned and jarred delicacies that you wont find at your regular grocery stores There is a nice hot food counter tucked away that you can purchase prepared asian food to go for a quick weekenight meal (more of a Thai or Vietnamese flair) The frozen cases are packed with lits of frozen options that include alot of asian delicacies in choices of meats and seafood for preparation. Plenty of fresh vegetables for purchase in the produce section The butcher and fish options provided plenty to choose from. There is a couple of sections in the store that have a vast selection of appliances and kitchen tools for the venturesome chef who wants to tackle asian dish preparation.

I was in the area on some meetings and ended up in this plaza, so of course I had to stop in and…read morecheck it out. I cook a lot at home and love when I'm able to find a variety of ingredients. As you walk in they had a variety of items up front and then you enter the fruit and veggie section. They have a good variety and a lot of them are pre packaged along the walls in the refrigerated section. I picked up some brussel sprouts here and kept browsing. The back section has more frozen and refrigerated items including dumplings, meatballs, drinks, meats, and more. The very back has a butcher and seafood, including tanks of live seafood. Near the seafood it smells like a fish-market and the smell kind of permeates through the store but that's what you get with fresh fish. The aisles have an interesting organization and while they have a good variety there are some things that I've found elsewhere that I didn't see here. I did notice that there were some good deals, I picked up a couple items that I've found for a couple dollars more at other local markets. They only had one check out open when I stopped in, but the person who checked me out was quick and efficient. There's plenty of parking in the lot and there are some other great businesses in the plaza like the post office, pizza, boba, and some others.
