023/2026/Jan Looking for somewhere to eat!! Stopped here at this plaza! This is a busy commercial plaza that has an indoor shopping plaza aside from other retail and restaurants. There is a grocery store and another under construction indoor shops and eateries! Aside from restaurants there are other health and beauty shops as well!!! read more

Place looks dead inside the store as well as inside this plaza all around. Lots of rumors about GW-Great Wall supermarket across the street running this place now. Are they closing down someday or just trying to survive? There used to be a retail shopping center down the plaza, but it's currently under major renovations right now, so not many places to walk around. I liked the grocery items and prices inside because they're actually much cheaper here than elsewhere. You can find familiar brands of your favorite Chinese snacks and beverages. Fruits/vegetables/meats look decent for the selling price. Vibes inside felt more like mainland China with some Taiwanese folks working nearby. Expect old fashioned style employees in this spacious grocery store that doesn't have many grocery shoppers in it. Employees look hardworking, but it's pretty dead for business operations. You can still find takeout foods and the tiny barbershop/hair salon is still operating. Don't expect lots of tables and chairs at restaurants inside. Better foods are outside. It just felt like this place is struggling to survive or may go out of business eventually. I hope the shopping center nearby opens soon to attract more customers to the plaza. They have old style deli foods and BBQ plates. It needs more life around here. When I hear HK2 Food District, I was expecting much better foods/dining options inside, but it wasn't like that at all. It's just an old & local grocery store. read more

While we were looking for MK BBQ, we had to enter through HK2 Food District. There's a supermarket in there. We didn't buy anything from HK2 Food District. We were in there for MK BBQ and we got what we needed... one expensive overcharged Soy Sauce Chicken LOL. Supermarket was clean and organized. Some of the aisles were a little snugged to walk through. We didn't encounter any supermarket staff except for the lady cashier at MK BBQ so I can't comment about that. There were a few other shops opened within this district and a few that closed or has not opened. It looked a tad gloomy inside unfortunately. Well, there's not much more that I can say about this place. If you're in the neighborhood and need to pick up some groceries, then HK2 Supermarket may be the place for you! Happy Shopping! read more

Probably the worst supermarket I've ever been into. Upon entering it's tucked in the back corner and walk to the back to pick up some meat. The whole meat and seafood section is roped off closed. After shopping for about 30 minutes buying my different groceries I get to the front and the cashier says cash only. She said her Wi-Fi is down and they can't take credit card.Wi-Fi is a pretty easy solution. There are plenty of hotspots being sold and a supermarket like this should always have a back up Wi-Fi hotspot in case of emergencies. I'll never be back. I ended up just walking out of the supermarket. They could've easily put a sign at the front saying no credit cards however, it seems like the under new management sign. New management needs work. read more

HK2 market, unlike most supermarkets, is not very wide but rather deep. It has been awhile since my last visit here and it is nothing like what I remembered. Aisles are not clearly marked so I had to cover most of the store looking for things on my grocery list. Even that I didn't get everything on my list. Messy is the first word came to mind after I entered the store. Aisles are narrow and have a lot of boxes on the floor. It's near impossible for 2 carts to pass each other. I suspect people put up with it because its prices are very competitive. Pork hocks for example is only $1.69/lb. LGM chili oil (280g) is only $1.98 each. That said, I think I will shop at 99 market from now on. read more

Formerly HK Supermarket, but is now HK2. It's somewhat comparable to 99 Ranch but not that extensive. They do also sell bread from Duke Bakery here along with the Beijing Yogurt. I've only purchased a few essential packaged grocery items here along with fruit and produce but have never purchased any meat or seafood here. Every time there is an upcoming celebration or holiday, they'll also have mooncakes on sale, along with holiday packages of snacks to give as gifts, and etc. There are food sample tables here and there. The parking lot has continued to deteriorate, along with the rest of the plaza. I only shop here if I'm in the area, but other than that, I'll stick to H Mart or 99 Ranch for better quality and fresher groceries. read more

We are doing the weekly groceries shopping for the week. It has previously Change name from Hong Kong Supermarket to HK2 l. It really improvEd thru out the years. The only complaint that I would have is for them to make sure the freezer to have correct temperatures make sure your ice cream purchased not melted and re freezes with frost Mixtec with ice cream. The place have improved from old Hong Kong Plaza. The Duke bread station has fresh breads made everyday and relived in the morning. They have the new saving program, which if you buy $100 into HK2 cash card they will return 5 dollars to you. Which means if you pay $500 to put into the card you will get $25 savings right off. The only dra back is you cannot lost the cash card. This super market has become clear and more organized than previous. They are not super crowded like near by super markets. I hope this review can bring back some in happy customers to retry the place. read more

HK2 Food District - Weekly stuff - Grocery Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

We were walking through this huge shopping plaza, and suddenly we ventured into HK2 Food District. It looked like a very good Ethnic grocery chain. Every item on the shelf had foreign language labels, and looked pretty authentic. *Laughs* Pros: Butcher's on site. Cool stuff to purchase. MK BBQ joint inside this grocery chain. There was quite a bit of line at the restaurant counter. If it wasn't this far away from our house, we wouldn't mind alternating between this store and the Korean supermarkets on Beach & Malvern. read more

The HK2 Food District refers mainly to a grocery store (like 99 Ranch), but its co-located with several other businesses in the same complex. We came here a few times with some visiting relatives from China to pick up some essentials. Several useful businesses here: 1. There is a cellphone/wireless service provider here that can sell you simcards to provide temporary cellular data - I think they charge $40 for 1GB worth or so. 2. A small convenience store to buy lottery tickets. Hey, with a $1.2B jackpot its worth investing a measly $2 for grins. 3. The HK2 grocery itself, which is good-sized but nowhere near as elaborate as 99 Ranch. I do like their herbal teas/dried goods section past the cashier. They offer free samples of fruity teas which are supposedly good for you. 4. A China Post service where customers often ship good they buy from the US back to China as a way to avoid luggage checkin/customs declaration/possible import taxation or other scrutiny. Two things I dislike about HK2: 1. Parking lot is not the greatest with uneven surfaces and glass bottles and litter about. 2. Restroom policy is very strict - you may need to leave your ID to get the key. read more

If it isn't for the frozen dumpling kiosk at the entrance and the Chengdu Taste nearby I would avoid this place all together. This place is completely inadequate. Cashier is bad and the selection is so so at best. Other than Asian ethnic foods, there is really nothing else to get here. There is lack of organic produce and the pricing on everything else doesn't seem competitive. Two Stars is given only because of the dumpling kiosk which is really another business all together. It is a real treat and hidden treasure. Shhh... read more

The store need to be inspected and fined by Food Safety department.

This place have horrible service! Now I guess the restrooms are locked and you need to get keys from shops or market. I went to ask to borrow keys because my daughters needed to pee. The woman at the liquor shop in the market ask me for my keys, phone or wallet to exchange. But another guys went and ask for the keys she just handed it to him. So does that mean if you don't speak mandarin to them you have to exchange for the keys but if you do then you don't have to?!! Ridiculous!!! read more

This is the worst Asian supermarket I ever been to in the area. Staff are extremely rude. First time I ever felt insulted in a market. They even sell expired products on the shelf. It smells bad. Never go there again. read more

- Locale Destination - It's on Colima Rd and between Batson Ave and Jellick Ave in Rowland Heights. It's in a big shopping center right next to bunch of super cheap restaurants. I expected it to be a super cheap and a bit dirty market the local wouldn't mind. The place looked clean and neat! Bring your own shopping bag since they'll charge you $0.10/bag! Easy parking. Less crowded than other shopping plaza. Cleanness: First thing you would notice here was the cleanness. It was very clean to the point that made me think it was a KOREAN market. You wouldn't see clean Chinese/Vietnamese markets in general. You're lucky if you found one of those (some out there!). But I read the horrid review - the butcher dropped the meat on the floor and picked it up and served it to the customer... So I'll avoid buying meats here and shouldn't trust much about their "cleanness" ;p Service: Asians sorta look alike in general, but not really (to me). It's a lot harder for me to distinguish people with dark skin (I'd be a dead meat if I had to memorize the features for eye witness or something ;p). You do feel disadvantageous here if you weren't Chinese/Taiwanese. I had only a few items on me unlike others and was the next in line for the register. I should have been the one if they opened up a new register right next to me. But the cashier grabbed the customer BEHIND me (of course she was their person), and started ringing up for her... WTF??? No logic there - at least logical to the cashier. That's not cool. Don't worry. I bitched about it in ENGLISH hoping they would have been able to catch what I said (I'm such a bad ass ;p). I'm not a racist - just observant. It's different. Price: It could be cheaper than others, but it seemed depending on the items. I kinda expected much cheaper price tags since every restaurant in the shopping plaza was so cheap. Grab the ones on sale! - Gluttony Expedition - Drinks: Vast amount of drinks - American, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican etc.. Interesting :) Fresh produce: Very clean (looks) and reasonable as an Asian market. Snacks: There're lots of interesting stuff from Taiwan on top of what you see at Asian markets in general. The prices aren't necessary cheap. Foods: Mainly Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. Some Americans and Mexicans. Meats: As I mentioned before, I'll avoid. - Conqueror's Deduction - Be selective about what you get here. Some definitely cheap but some not really (for Asian market). It's fun to try different snacks here, which I did. They had an assorted mochi from Taiwan with almost 10 different flavors in a box wrapped individually - awesome! read more

The old Hong Kong Supermarket (which closed quite a few years back), now as the HK2 Supermarket (which no one really knows about unless you are in the area) has taken its place. The good thing is that not many people know about this place. They do have a good amount sized store and it even follows suit with exactly what the old HK Supermarket looked like, produce front, aisles middle, meats/fish back. In fact, if I didn't know that it had closed, I would have thought it was the same place. This place is cleaner than most other Asian supermarkets and the prices are just a tad cheaper than 99 Ranch and Shun Fat. But where they lack is the variety. They have way less variety than the two other stores, and so Shun Fat which is right across the street, and 99 both are better in that regard. Add to the fact that Colima Road heading West takes forever to get through b/c of construction, and I don't see why I'd come here. I mean, it's not like 99 Ranch is better with Gale Avenue and the Nogales construction (what is with all this construction LOL), but I'd still rather shop there. Just cuz. read more

Today I stopped by here at HK2 Food District to do some shopping. Now, let me tell you my experience here at HK2 Food District was not quite up to par as it should have been. I saw some lady order some meats and the butcher finished cutting the meat, and then had another butcher come and hold the bag so the butcher that cut the meat can drop the meat in the bag. Guess what happened, the butcher was dropping the meats into the bag, and accidentally dropped a piece on the floor, and guess what? He didn't put it aside like he should have because it fell on the floor, instead he put it in her bag with the other pieces!? REALLY!? CONTAMINATION HERE! You dropped the piece of meat on the floor, and still give it to the customer!?? Now, another complaint, this time on the Customer Service we received. We barely received any. We had asked one of the ladies who work there for some assistance on finding a particular item we could not locate. She told us which aisle it should be located in and we couldn't find it. She couldn't even bother to take the time to come and help us look for the item!? She'd rather continue talking to her friend over helping a customer!? We had to walk over to her AGAIN and tell her we couldn't find it. Then was she willing to come and help us look, smh, some service here. She came and looked and found it, although it wasn't the exact one we were looking for. Eventually, we found the brand we wanted ourselves. Remeber to bring those re-usable shopping bags, otherwise it's 10 Cents per bag!! Customer Service here at HK2 Food District, needs serve improvements!! They need to get on 99 Ranch Market's level, they provide much better service than this place. As Yelp says, "Meh. I've experienced better." I'll stick to 99 Ranch Market if I'm ever in the area again. 99 Ranch Market is far better choice over this place. read more

Thinking it was a food court at first when we arrived at this plaza, we cruised right on inside. Then it turned out to be a supermarket, and seemingly a new, spaciously, yet not fully populated one. OK, guess there's no need to hit up 99 Ranch to stock up... What threw me off were the initials HK / HK2 which to most Hong Kongers would mean the former British colony, now know as one of the Special Administrative Region (the other being Macau). To the younger generation though, it may hint at some Japanese car racing (re: rice rocket) equipment or modification company (rice rocket toys and accessories). Fortunately none of that smoke exists inside. But this being Taiwan town with hints of Korean, including an out of place "Boston" Hong Kong cafe and some wacky fishball specialist that looked absolutely nothing like Hong Kong style street food yet posing as one, anything goes I suppose. There's really not much Hong Kong in here, other than a curt Cantonese speaking cashier, and some imported bag of mah jong snack (gua zi, marinated melon seeds). While HK2 Food District does not have the breadth and depth of a 99 Ranch, the highlight for me was a section devoted entirely to imported regional Taiwanese groceries, something that even NorCal South Bay's larger supermarkets and specialty foods stores would not touch with a ten foot pole. -organic dried groceries, lots of health food related things -healthy dried snacks (with samples) -imported bottled quality Taiwanese longan honey -Yi Lai Hsun vermicelli (Mien Xien), claimed to be hand crafted, all natural and old school traditional receipe....think of this as a distant cousin of traditionally made hand crafted regional Japanese somen. Three different flavors. Next to it some unappetizing looking red vermicelli dried noodle (made with red yeast). Luckily there was a lady with a cooking station offering samples of what could be done with this, sesame oil, bitter tea leaf oil (designed to lower cholestrol amongst other health benefits). Let's just say the red yeast noodle is something I wouldn't spend moolah on, unless I was forced to convert to a Buddhist vegan diet, but it was interesting texture to say the least. Towards the back, two employees stuffing fresh batches of various Chinese leafy greens into bags. Looked great, clean, and no doubt tasted better than the NorCal Chinese supermarket crap. Further in are the fish and meat section. No funny looking sashimi, but a decent selection of fish on ice. There's another location in West Covina. Why can't we get something like this in NorCal? :-o read more

First if all, what a strange name for a grocery market... Second, overall this is a very clean, bright and well-stocked market (produce is at least). We just went in for a few things so I only checked out the produce section. There were plenty of items, all of them fresh. We walked out with 2 pounds of Fuji Apples, I pack of jalepenos, Gal lan and a Naked juice for just a tad over $7 - $3 of those dollars attributed by the Naked juice. So things are cheap here, at least to someone who is accustomed to shopping in the Bay Area suburbs. I doubt much is organize here though, but I guess you can't have it all...cheap and organic, that is. read more

My review is actually for the "hole in the wall" BBQ meat business at the back of the HK2 Food District near the meat/seafood section. This tiny business makes the best flavorful, moist BBQ pork with crispy skin and Cha Siu that I have ever eaten. I haven't even had a chance to try their other items because I LOVE their crispy skin BBQ pork (I don't usually like Chinese pork because the meat is often kind of gamey...but not at this location). The chef also cuts the pieces on the small side which makes it perfectly large bite-sized piece of meat to go with my rice. I often go to HK2 just for their BBQ meat and not for groceries. Cash ONLY! PLEASE give this place a try! I want to keep this place in business because I'm drooling now even thinking about their meats!! read more

If u go to the meat dept, make sure U pick your own piece of meat, i just went to the market to buy 6oz flank steak from the meat dept but i was in the pre-packaged section where u just pick it up & go, 1 of the butchers came to me & asked if i wanted a fresh piece so i said sure. He weighs it & hands it to me. I go home & i planned on making steak fajitas w/ it, yet once i pull it out of the bag onto my cutting board, i see he gave me a piece w/ the most muscles & tendons on it! I couldnt even cut it apart it was so hard! Never again. Thanks for nothing. read more

I like this market because of the low prices. It doesn't always have the most selection on vegetables though. But this market isn't that big, so I suppose that's understandable. I do enjoy the low prices on most of the produce, even among asian supermarkets the prices are towards the lower end. Some of the vegetables here are packaged in page quantities. Like the jalapeños are sold in packs of probably 20. You don't have to buy the whole pack, you can actually ask one of the workers to give you a few. This works on all their packed vegetables! Last time I bought a single lemongrass. Also there's a bbq place inside the market that sells bbq duck, chicken, pork, etc. I believe it's cash only! we often buy duck and pork here to bring to family holiday events. read more

Stopped by HK2 to check it out....very nice! Clean with wide aisles...not smelly like most Asian markets... The front section has a crackseed section and they have tea water. They also have a section where they sell bags of all kinds of cereals and other things that are individually packed...some even marked NO GMO! Great assortment of food items...both Asian and American...so a great place to get all of your shopping done...produce looks nice and fresh and they even carry my brand of lup cheong!!! I like that they have packaged meat and fish and also have meat cutting service there... read more

Went there w/boyfriend to buy some stuff, love the market; it's clean, neat, well-organized, and carries a variety of Asian goods that we enjoy. The problem? At checkout, the cashier (Yongyu L. according to my receipt) was beyond rude. She rang us up, stared at Boyfriend for a minute (fyi he is from Taiwan, and I'm Apple Pie) gave me a dirty look, and then left our food sitting on the counter while she turned to smile and chat with the (next good looking Asian male) customer behind us. Finally, Boyfriend says "excuse me" and asks for a bag for our goods. She shoots me another dirty look, and then calmly informs him that bags are eleven cents extra. We have no issue with a bag surcharge; hey we even like the idea. But c'mon now, at least let us know, right? We fork over a dime and a penny, she hands us a bag, we bag our stuff and make a run for it. Thanks but no thanks. Never again. read more
