I envisioned something in heart shaped form, double layers, with white buttercream piping in a clean, vintage design with all of its beautiful girly ruffles & borders. I had purchased a few custom cakes her previously and didn't give coming here a second thought. I was unfortunately met by a younger male who was willing to take my order but couldn't answer any questions about whether or not the bakery department could accomplish my wants/needs. He was short, unfriendly, and not knowledgeable contrary to him working in the bakery. I left without ordering the cake and headed over to the Berryessa Safeway. Thanks but no thanks to the lack of help here.

Marina Grocery is still open as of July 2026 and seems to have good deals. I enjoy their purple…read morerice rolls (fantuan) in their deli section, which is cash only. One purple rice rolls costs $4.29 before tax and has a fried doughnut, pork floss, and pickled veggies. The pickled veggies here are savory and slightly sweet instead of sour.

We shop at Ocean Supermarket at least once a week, as the prices on certain items here are pretty…read morereasonable. This supermarket is located inside the Park Victoria Plaza in Milpitas, California. It seems like this is a Vietamese run and owned supermarket, with a select few staff who also speak Chinese, as well. This is a very older supermarket in a smallish shopping center, but also has plenty of parking spaces. The inside is very old, and could really use a remodel to make it more modern, but for a supermarket, it does the job. The cleanliness isn't quite there compared to a 99 Ranch Market or other chain supermarket, but thus one seems like a single location, non chain. The prices here are pretty reasonable, especially for the fruits, not sure how they are able to compete with other stores and offer fruits are relatively low low prices. Oranges are $0.49 LB! These is the cheapest I've seen, even previously, they've offered them at $0.39 LB too. Again, not sure how they can sell them so cheap! We also really like the Fried Tofu they sell here for $4.99, the only supermarket that sells this kind. It's large sized, fried square tofu puffs. We get this every visit we come here. They sell alot too! The customer service here is really non-existent, meaning there is basically none, unless you speak their language, which is vietnamese. They automatically start talking to you in vietnamese, not much english with the cashiers, although they do understand basic english. Plenty of parking in the lot, so no worries there and they also have plenty of shopping carts for customers to use. However, I wish they would provide some shopping cart corrals for the parking lot, so customers have a place to return it after use. Overall, just a 3 star. Basic supermarket, nothing spectacular.

Since we were in the area, we decided to stop by to pick up some fresh vegetables and compare their…read moreprices with places like 99 Ranch and Marina Food. As we browsed around, we noticed that some items were actually more affordable than what we're used to seeing, which definitely caught our attention. We also came across a really good deal on shrimp, so it seems like there are some worthwhile bargains if you take the time to look around. The store wasn't busy at all, and we did notice that a few sections had empty shelves. It also felt like certain areas could use a little more attention when it comes to cleanliness, which would make the shopping experience more enjoyable. Overall, I think this is a place worth stopping by, especially if you're looking to save a little on groceries. We'll likely come back again to explore more of their selection and take advantage of some of the better-priced items.

And yet another update…read more Though last year, I did go here at a random time and unfortunately caught COVID here :( But what I like about this place is that it's nice and spacious. They do get a lot of the new items which is lovely. Folks here are always lovely and friendly. The only thing that is horrible is the parking. The parking in the garage is so tight like they decided we're going to squeeze as many spaces that barely have space between cars. I end up parking outside sometimes just for a slightly better space though it's again getting harder and harder to find parking here as more new restaurants are springing up on the first floor nearby. Still will come here on occasions depending on what errands we need to do and it's also on my way home for work if I need to pick up anything.

I wanted to refund everything but I dont want to cost trouble at the store.

I think this was the first time I have stepped into this Walmart. It was easy to find parking…read morebecause the parking lot had so many spaces available, yet it was a crowded zoo inside which made the shopping experience less enjoyable. It was so hard to walk around without trying to dodge other shopping carts or other customers standing in the aisle and not moving aside to make space (zero awareness of surroundings). This visit comes after a road trip to the midwest where I visited many Walmarts and found those stores much more calm and enjoyable, than the visit to this store in Milpitas. I found a couple of items I needed. The tube of E6000 was easy to find in the crafting section, which saved me a trip to Michaels. I needed some frozen pineapples and walked toward the freezer aisles looking for frozen fruit signage. No signage for "frozen fruit", but saw a sign for "frozen vegetables" and guessed it might be down the same aisle. I walked halfway down the aisle before the kiddo called out to me to come back because I had walked right past the narrow section of frozen fruit. No signage near it, which made it difficult to notice. Signage at this store could be improved. On the upside, I found a HUGE bag of frozen pineapple chunks that will last me quite some time (I hope), so that I won't have to return here for quite some time. I wandered into the sporting goods section to see what kind of ice chests they had that also had wheels. They had every size except the size I was looking for. I was also looking for Cream of Coconut, but could not find it anywhere. Any guesses on what I was trying to make with pineapple and cream of coconut? :) I went to check out in a regular staffed register. Ok, I admit, I did not want to walk to the other end of the store to hunt down the self checkout, mostly because the store was so crowded. And then I was surprised to see a sign at the register that said "Visual & audio recording, Body-worn cameras in use". I did not see this at any of the other Walmarts I visited in the midwest. One big annoyance at this Milpitas store (which is also present at the other Walmart locations) is the lack of NFC tap-to-pay. You will not be using Apple Pay or Google Pay here. This is inconvenient, as I pretty much use tap to pay everywhere. Lack of this tap to pay feature makes transactions at Walmart feel less secure. And also appears to encourage credit card fraud. Or is the store's refusal to use NFC tap to pay -- which the majority of other retail stores already have -- a reflection of their perception that their clientele is less up to date with "newer" technology that has been around for quite some time. One good thing about the store is their restroom locations are consistent with all the other Walmart locations I've visited. There's a restroom at the front middle area, and another one in the back middle area. Even Target stores are not as consistent with their restroom locations. Oh and this store does receipt checks when you walk out the door, they must be identifying with Costco today. LOL The receipt checker was friendly.

This review and disappointment is strictly directed to the bakery department…read more After seeing all of the viral cakes being made and sold @ Walmart, I finally had a reason to see what they were all about. Being openly advertised as super affordable, I was excited to grab me a heart shaped cake to celebrate my little one's baptism. We are keeping things super lowkey and Walmart's offering was exactly what I needed. I drove out to this location and attempted to place an order in person only to be turned away and directed to order cakes online. I wasted time and gas but I was pleasantly impressed with the employee letting me know that one day notice is enough time for Walmart to get these custom cakes out to their patrons. Perfect because I was giving them 2 days notice for my purchase. I immediately hop online and place my order @ approximately 3:06pm. I wait for the confirmation text before going on with my busy day. I'm happy, I'm excited, and I have high hopes because social media is blowing this spot up for its amazing cakes. Everything takes a turn for the worst when I receive a text message the next morning stating my order being cancelled due to "technical reasons". I am now 1 day away from the cake pick up date and have no cake to be received. I am 100% disappointed in this entire experience and am not forced to scramble around for another bakery. 1 star. I'm gonna take this as a sign from the universe that Milpitas's Walmart Bakery is trash. There is probably a valid reason as to why there is a lack of foot traffic passing through the bakery.

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5…read moreAtmosphere: 5/5 I feel like the best part of this grocery store is that there's a decent variety of veggies, fruits, meats, and all sorts of Asian snacks and it's all fairly inexpensive especially compared to places like Safeway! They accept EBT and I believe they have student discount on Sundays as well. The place is generally clean and organized and the aisles have enough space for people to go by each other without being squeezed too much. I overall like shopping here especially because there's lots of food and drinks in the same plaza and it's nice to have a lot of businesses gathered in the same place. I feel like the large majority of the older people working here whether as cashiers at the main checkout or at the food or bakery are pretty nice and friendly, maybe some of them are more brusque but I don't mind it. The only people I feel like are rude are the majority of the young people who work here?? I don't really get why but there's frequently a young person working at the main checkout who seems like they're in an awful mood and takes it out on the customers in petty ways. So weird! Otherwise, this is a great, inexpensive place to shop at, and I love the Chinese snacks, fruits, and everything else that I wouldn't otherwise get so easily at other stores. Parking in the afternoons can be somewhat difficult but I always find a spot.

The aisles were so neat but what caught my eye were for the instant noodles. There were so many options to choose from. There were so many Korean snacks! Some I've had before but many more that I haven't. Lastly, the hot foods were the highlight! Many people come here not just to do grocery shopping. Many come here to eat the food cooked fresh!

HMart is my favorite Asian/ Japanese Food Market. I have yet to find a location that is as great as…read moretheir location in San Diego. That said, I went to this location on Fathers Day. I knew the store would be busy... and it was. The store was overwhelmed with customers, and it was like dodging cars on a freeway. The music was so loud and frenetic for having so many customers in the store that I left with sensory overload. Honestly, it would have been a huge benefit to the store and their employees to have calm music in the background to set a much more quiet atmosphere. It's known that music greatly helps to keep things calmer when things are this busy. The entire group I was with felt overwhelmed when we left the store and needed a quiet break from the chaos. This has never ever happened for me in an HMart so taking that into consideration. That said, I was looking for some Ahi for sushi making. They had fresh thawed ahi steaks for 5.99 lb which is a good price. Many people understand that freezing fish can kill parasites. They only had one pack so I asked at the meat counter if they had more. They said they would have them at 5 pm. The frozen ahi sashimi grade tuna was priced at something like $49.99 a pound. I've never seen a price like this which is was mind blowing. But I digress. A sign of the times? Not sure. I'm not a Karen. lol. I highly respect stores and how hard people are working especially on a busy holiday. I asked the butcher if it could possibly be given a bit earlier than 5 pm because I lived far away. He turns to another person and starts talking about me in Spanish thinking I did not hear or understand what he was saying. He was majorly bad mouthing me. I looked at him and said..."I understand Spanish." That's all I said. He looks embarrassed and said "sorry" and walked away really fast. I didn't follow him, talk to him, report him to management or say anything to even acknowledge his rudeness. I'm saying something here without his name on purpose. He was probably having a bad day. I honor that. But the entire experience at this location is one I've never had at HMart. Most likely I won't return to this location. No... I'm not mad at this butcher. I don't know what his day was like. I know what the energy was like in the store and the music alone with that many people could put anyone on edge. I didn't find many places in this store very helpful. We did get some great items which is why I rated it 2 stars. Otherwise it would have had one.
