This place used to be marina grocery but it seems that it has changed to hashi market. Doesn't seem to have changed much. There is live seafood at the back of the store. Prices were similar to ranch 99. Good selection. Produce didn't seem as fresh as ranch 99 and several of the fruits being sold looked visible bruised or way too ripe. There is not a lot or room to walk around and when it is busy, you cannot really walk around with a shopping cart. Cashiers were generally friendly and the seafood team was responsive. The meat department butchers were a bit curt. I think I prefer ranch 99. read more

2.5 stars After visiting family members in San Mateo, we stopped by the market to pick up some fresh crabs and vegetables before getting on the freeway. Not too familiar with the area, we were unaware of the ownership change. Crabs at $7.99/lb. seem like a reasonable price, vegetables looked fresh. Meats and seafood are priced a little lower than other Asian markets. I was excited to find some sesame candy which reminded me of childhood snack, however there is no expiration date on the good looking box ($4.99). The food court area is being remodeled, we walked around it carefully. The crabs we steamed last night for dinner were pretty good. Today I tried the sesame candy and was very disappointed. As soon as I opened the nicely wrapped candy, the aroma of rancid sesame oil hit me and it tasted bitter.....basically the candy is inedible. I understand it may not be the fault of the market because this item was imported. The lack of expiration date should have given me a warning, my fault. Needless to say we will not be rushing back to shop here anytime soon, hopefully they do a better job on quality control going forward. read more

Hashi Market - International Grocery Near Me - San Mateo, California

Used to be Marina supermarket. The ownership is changed now it is Hashi Market. Almost everything are still the same. Not much changed yet. I hear they will start the remodeling in early 2026. I am eager to see the changes as there are many old equipments like the noodle section fridge always spilling water, very cold inside supermarket because I heard they cannot control the temp. There are some changes been done but not much. I still like to come here as the price is more reseonable. II am also eager to see the food court to open. read more

This market may not be your #1, but it gets my respect. You see. I haven't been to a large supermarket on the Peninsula that's as well stocked as this place. Not even its siblings. All other supermarkets, except for maybe Fresco in South Bay and Berkeley Bowl in East Bay, have a niche, and you're going to be inconvenienced if what you want to make is outside of that focus. This large market had a dedicated aisle to Latino products, one for Japanese, Central/Eastern European, Southeast Asian - mostly for Filipino and Indonesian products, an aisle EACH! Now, as you may know, Hashi has taken over the market following the retirement of the previous boss under Marina. Apparently the kids don't want to take over haiyaaaa. Not much has changed but necessary renovations are planned, though unfortunately, the European section was down to some canned drinks and Slavic sauerkraut during my recent visit. Other reviews have mentioned how cold it gets inside. During my visit, it was all right, about as same temperature as outside. They don't have a heating system, I guess. Now I understand that Hashi has a focus on Japanese products, but given the physical size and history of this market location, I do wish that its Japanese branding doesn't come at the expense of everything else, especially since there are major competition nearby and we don't need a rat race to the bottom. read more

Not sure why this place gets so much hate... I personally think it's a great change and the location is far more convenient than driving deep into foster city. Nearly every mid-pen Asian supermarket is far into the foster city area, and mega mart was underwhelming (see my review). Pros: right off 101 / hillsdale, no need to brave the 92 interchange traffic Decent selection of Korean / Japanese goods along with Chinese items. I was surprised there was a good variety of frozen goods, ramen, snacks, meal kits, condiments, dry noodles. Kind of a one-stop for all of it . Prices were reasonable, seemed cheaper than ranch 99. Plaza has a bunch of salons, food establishments, near hillsdale mall Cons: congested parking, very cold (bring your coat!), parts of the store need sprucing up (says its renovating) or smell a bit ( but being in the original site for marina mart, I think it's a relic of the old business). read more

This store is incredibly out of shape. How're you going to be open when half your damn store is in the "middle" of renovation? Why do you want your employees and customers to freeze? Why is it COLDER in your broken store than it is outside? Y'all hire lazy employees who can barely communicate w me and refuse to find something in the back. And then y'all keep your poor employees FREEZING at WORK that they have to fucking bundle up in sweatshirts and vests and hats. Truly the most disappointing Asian market I have ever been to. I miss when Marina Market was still here. Hashi is total shit read more

Great choice of fresh seafood, fish and meat. Really great source of inspiration for people who like to cook from scratch. And obviously amazing choice of asian products and vegetable. read more

Hashi Market in San Mateo is a nice upgrade from what used to be Marina Market. Now under new ownership, it's taking on a fresh, Japanese-inspired direction. The store feels cleaner and more organized, with a growing selection of Japanese snacks, drinks, and grocery items. They're still in the process of remodeling, so parts of the store are being updated, but you can already see the improvements taking shape. The staff are friendly and helpful, and it's clear they're putting effort into creating a more modern, curated shopping experience. Excited to see the final look once renovations are complete! A promising start and a welcome refresh for the neighborhood. read more

Extremely disappointed--selling rotten/moldy fruit! I bought a pack of Golden Pears from here, and it was a total waste of money. On the outside, the pears looked okay through the plastic, but as soon as I got them home and unpacked them, I realized how bad the quality was. * Visible Mold: One of the pears had large, soft brown spots on the skin with white fuzzy mold growing right in the center. * Mealy/Rotten Interior: Even the parts that looked somewhat decent were terrible. I cut into one and the texture was completely "icy" and translucent in a way that suggests it was either frozen improperly or was already rotting from the inside out. It's really frustrating that a market would let produce in this condition stay on the shelves, especially since they are wrapped in a way that hides the damage until you pay and get home. I won't be buying produce here again. Check your fruit very carefully before leaving! 我在该店买了一份黄金梨，结果完全是浪费钱。在超市里隔着保鲜膜看，梨的品相似乎还可以，但一回到家拆开包装，我就发现质量简直糟糕透顶。 * 肉眼可见的发霉： 其中一个梨的表皮上有大块变软的褐色斑点，中心位置竟然长出了白色毛茸茸的霉菌。 * 内部腐烂/口感极差： 即使是那些看起来还凑合的部分也非常难吃。切开后发现果肉呈现出一种不正常的半透明"冰渍状"，这通常是由于存放不当导致冻伤或者是已经从内部开始变质腐烂了。 超市竟然把这种品质的水果摆在货架上卖，实在令人气愤，尤其是那种包装方式很容易让人在购买时忽略掉背面的瑕疵。我以后绝不会再来这里买水果了。建议大家买单前一定要翻来覆去仔细检查！ read more

Very disappointed with Hashi. This location used to be Marina Food Supermarket, which had lower prices, more variety, and many hotpot items not made in China -- with products from Malaysia, Hong Kong, Japan, and Taiwan. Now under the new ownership as Hashi, it feels more like a Chinese supermarket than a Japanese one. Too many products are made in China, prices are high, and brand choices are very limited. If I want to buy made-in-China food items, I will go to Ranch 99 in Foster City. If I want Japanese food, I will go to 20th Ave or 4th Ave in San Mateo. I would not recommend Hashi. read more

This market has always been chaotic and confusing but I love it anyway. I didn't know there had been an ownership change. Nothing seems all that different to me. There is a much better selection of Japanese candy which I love. People were actively cleaning the aisles which is always a good sign. Some items are hard to find but they'll have it somewhere. read more

Hashi Market is making the necessary improvements to become a favorite Asian and fresh produce/meat market. Thank you for replacing the rusty old shopping carts. The produce and meat are fresh and at reasonable prices. They have fresh oxtail, bone marrow, neck bones, and other typical meat. They even have fresh cuts of fish for sashimi (that I haven't tried yet). The have fresh packaged noodles, soy milk, tofu, and the basic products for Asian and healthy meals. The interior needs updating. Staff is very attentive and hardworking. There is ample free parking. read more
