This is an unassuming little hole-in-the-wall restaurant inside a small grocery market. I highly recommend the Khaw Soy. The broth was rich and creamy and was the perfect balance of sweet and umami. The noodles were cooked perfectly and had the right amount of chew. They have a lot of condiments on the tables like salt, pepper, hot sauce, chili oil, and tamarind soup base! The service was standard. I like that's it's affordable! This is a hidden gem that I would definitely return to try the other types of noodle soups they offer. read more

I haven't been here since the current owners took over and I'm bummed I've waited so long. I met a friend today for a late lunch (2 pm) and was surprised to see so many people eating. We sat ourselves and were brought menus. I saw the red curry on another table and asked the customers about it. It looked amazing. I chose that with chicken and was not disappointed. It comes with a cup of maybe jasmine rice. I'm spicy whimpy, sadly, and rhis had a very slight kick that we felt in our throat after a few seconds. I loved it! My friend ordered a pho with beef and it normally comes with meatballs but she asked for no meatballs. She also loved hers. I can't wait to bring my family. They will love it. We will definitely be back to look around at the grocery items and I've heard they have some items in a to go part of the store that I want to check out. The only problem was it was very warm inside the store so maybe we will wait for summer to be over before we sit inside again. read more

Kanya Market - A beef pho dish with yummy broth - Grocery Near Me - Redding, California

Kanya is one of those hole-in-the-walls I have to stop by whenever I am in Redding. I love the ability to grab groceries and pre-made food or to sit down for a full meal. Service is friendly, fast, and efficient. The kao piak is so comforting and tasty, and the coffee is exactly what I want. While I wish the crispy tofu came seasoned, the sauce it comes with does enough. read more

You would never think that you can find authentic Asian food in Redding, but this place was a gem!!! Within the market is a restaurant and they have authentic Thai and Laos food with more choices then some of the ones we have here in Sacramento! The food was excellent. We liked their homemade chili sauce so much that 3 of us bought 2 jars each!!! The market appears to have all your Asian cooking essentials and more! If I am ever in the area, I would definitely make an effort to stop in. If you love Thai and Laos food, I highly recommend this place. Very friendly and helpful service. My only complaint was that the Thai coffee was way too sweet. read more

I was amazed to find an Authentic Southeast Asia market that offered many delicious food. I bought ready-made Lao sausage and Deep fried pork belly with sticky rice. Also ordered Beef Larb with everything. The food were delicious and indeed authentic. The spicy dipping sauce that came with the ready-made package food was phenomenal. The food portions were generous. The price is fair and affordable. The service is friendly. For Larb, I had to wait for a while but it was worth it. This place is both a restaurant and a market which make it convenient. Cleanliness wise is decent. They provide dine in area as well. It's comforting knowing that when we are visiting a small town of Redding, we Will find comfort food just like we would find back in Asia. Recommended! read more

This market is a great find for anyone looking for Southeast Asian groceries, especially if you're on the hunt for unique ingredients like green papaya, fresh greens, and non-perishable noodle packages and seasonings. They've got it all, and it's the perfect place to stock up on all your pantry essentials. But what really sets this place apart is the restaurant and grab-and-go food options. From fresh spring rolls to Lao fried egg noodles, and even banana leaf coconut sticky rice, the food here is delicious. We ordered the Thai Boat Noodle, Hmong Tendon Soup, and sampled the Lao Papaya Salad and Beef Laab. The Lao Papaya Salad and Beef Laab were the standout dishes--perfectly flavored and bursting with authentic, vibrant tastes. And, of course, a Thai tea to wash it all down made the experience even better! The service can be a bit sporadic, but the food arrives in a timely manner, so no complaints there. If you're in the area and craving authentic Hmong and Lao/Thai inspired dishes, or just need to grab some Asian groceries, this place is a must-visit. read more

I went in for some curry and they told me they were out of rice. Really? There were huge bags of rice right in the store.

Authentic Laos and Thai food, one of the only in the area. Decent prices, generally fresh quality. Can pick up some ready-to-eat items at 12-noon. Some consistency issues, sometimes really quick picking up take-out and sometimes 30mins+ wait time. Would not recommend ordering take-out during lunch break, may end up late getting back to work. read more

I had a terrible experience at this store. None of the items are marked with prices, which allows them to charge inconsistently--I was a victim of this practice. Redding doesn't have many options for Asian groceries, but that doesn't mean businesses should take advantage of customers. On top of that, the food area is unsanitary, and I have no idea how they passed a health inspection. This was my first and last time supporting this place. It needs to be shut down for both dishonesty and health concerns. Anyone know the number to report them? read more

We are in town for the fire, me and my crew went in for some authentic Laos food and they delivered! All of our dishes were delicious and ordered some Togo as well. We will be back before leaving here. read more

Great staff. Some food is good. Some food is great. This place serves Thai, Vietnamese, Laotian, and Hmong food so you can't be the best at all of them. The sesame balls and fried pork are great. The pho and papaya salad are good. read more

Interesting Lao Asian Market/Cafe. Doesn't look like much from the outside. Even the door to enter looks like a back door service entrance. But don't let that stop you from going inside to discover another world of food, sauces, spices and so much more. Their cafe serves authentic Lao food. My favorite are the Papaya Salad (the spicy version is really spiced) and the Lao sausages. Haven't tried everything but working my way there. Cannot find anything this authentic between the Bay Area and Portland. read more

I can't wait to come back to Redding to eat here again. The food is so good I had to eat it all. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is authentic. It was a little hard to find. Google had me do a few laps around the parking lot. The entrance door it around back. You can order at the cashier or sit down at a table. I had the kaow poon. I haven't seen it on a menu before and I want more. read more

If you're looking for Asian food stuffs, like to do some cooking, this is about the only place around I think. I'm still a little new to the Red Bluff/Redding area. There's an are where you can get to go Asian food too. Living in Red Bluff, 30 miles is a little far to go for a few items, so I gotta make it worthwhile to come here, not that I'm the greatest cook or anything. I used to have a lot more selection living in the Sac area. Service is friendly enough, but there is a little language barrier. Prices are a little higher but you gotta figure the shipping to get the stuff here. Maybe I'll try the to go food here next time. read more

First time at Kanya Resturant, we ordered Drunken noodles, ribs, both were wonderful! I had made the statement, I wish we could find a Great Asian Resturant, Redding ca. has no good restaurants with Asian food, we heard about this Resturant a while back, so glad we toke a chance Because we will return for more good food. Also glad to see a great selection of Asian food and condiments. Keep up the good work. read more

Service is very very slow. Waited over an hour to get my food. And it's not even busy. Not eating here again.

Their food is fantastic and freshly prepared, never had a bad meal and very fairly priced.

Delicious food and great prices. The steam rolls are a must!!! Any noodle dish there A+. Can't wait to go back!

Honestly they have a lot of variety of things. I love this place but there's no price tags on anything, they just type whatever number they want in there. Awhile back I got some thin soy sauce and the lady charged me $2.99 for it and today she charged me $2.69, I know it's little and not a big deal but it's shady to their customers. There's no price tag on anything. Also she charged me a .10cents bag for my one item without asking. It's just shady stuff. Its not smart because after we receive the receipt, we can see how much we were charged and for the very few items that does have a sticker price on it, we can see we were overcharged. It's ridiculous and sad. Please be careful with your business because customers will start calling important people about your business. read more

Honestly they have really cleaned this place up! I prefer it over Thai hut which is basically across the way. The prices allow you to go out of your comfort zone and try new stuff! The small pho is HUGE and only $6. I always have some to take home. It's also fun to shop around the market while you wait for your food. Friendly staff and authentic food in my opinion because there's things I've never heard of on the menu. Also the Nam Kow is something I'm always craving! Crispy rice and crispy ground sausage and nuts it's not like anything I've ever had! Highly Recommend. Don't expect white table cloth dining it's a hole in the wall type place read more

Amazing as always. The curry with peanut sauce was piping hot and amazing flavour. Potatoes are soft like balls of love smooshing between your teeth. The onions are strips of juicy flavour just waiting for you to slurp them up in the peanut-coconut-curry concoction. This meal was made with love. Service is friendly no matter time of day. The tempura was also piping hot and fresh, delicious. Do yourself a favour and eat here, thank k me later. read more

This is my neighborhood place to eat and shop, and I love it! I've been going here for eight years, and the selection of fresh greens, mushrooms, fresh noodles (rice and wheat), and herbs is always fantastic, with better prices and quality for what you get than larger groceries (and no, I've never had trouble with finding prices on any of the grocery items). You can also buy Lao sausage that is SO good (both in store and on menu) and there's a selection of ready-made items to go for lunch! The place is part store and part restaurant, which is also convenient. The food is always hot, fresh, and I've never had an issue with takeout lagging behind when they said it would be ready. Basically, it's where I go when I'm not feeling like cooking, a neighborhood place, run by folks from the neighborhood, who turn out consistently good food, work hard, and care about their customers. I was saddened to see that one recent review took a swipe at this place based, it seems, on their mask policy during a pandemic. Don't believe the smears. These are good Redding neighbors who care about their customers and their city. I'll be shopping and eating here for many more years to come! read more

I ordered from this restaurant via DoorDash. I was sent a message from DoorDash stating that they could not deliver to my location. I cancelled the order 3 minutes after my initial order. I was still charged $26.90 because this so called restaurant stated that they already made my order, yes in 3 minutes our dinner was already made and packed ready for delivery . These people are liars and frauds. DO NOT EAT HERE! I'm glad I didn't actually get my food, because after this all happened I posted it on my Facebook and everyone told me I was lucky because the place is roach infested. I'm still mad I wasted $26.90 and received absolutely nothing. Not only is Kanya Market a fraud, so is DoorDash. read more

I LOVE the basil fried rice and the pad thai with any protein choice! The egg rolls are delicious and they have wonderful spring rolls too! I come here often for the food, but the market is packed with useful household goods/items as well. If you haven't tried this place yet, I encourage you to stop by and be adventurous. You will love it, I'm sure! read more

Love this place. I have been going here ever since I was a teenager in high school. Good competitive prices compared to other places and also, good cheap Thai food too. Lovely couple and their family own and operate the place. Some people may complain about the decoration but they've cleaned it up a little, and makes me remember the little eat and snack shops I used to go to in FuJian, China. read more

Kanya Market - Grocery Near Me - Redding, California

Kanya Market is a tiny Asian grocery in town that also houses a tiny restaurant serving authentic Hmong food. The Hmong tendon soup was delicious, full of flavor, and reminded me of ones I had made by my Hmong friend's mom! The broth was so flavorful and full of Thai baby eggplants, silky bamboo shoots, galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf, fresh rau ram, etc. and the tendon and tripe were just right, not over cooked nor undercooked! It's served with a side of rice which is just right for some carb comfort on a cold winter night. The market has some of the freshest Asian veggies in town, it's a bit pricy compared to other major cities but I get it because they have to transport all the goods from so far. Definitely try the Hmong tendon soup, it was amazing! I loved it so much I brought what I couldn't finish home even though it was only like 2/3rds of a cup lol. Ask for Pa, she was super sweet and gave me a baggie for my leftover rice! read more

First and last time going there. My family and I was on our way to see 4 different waterfalls around the Redding area. We decided to look for an Asian market that sells pre-packaged hot food to go. I called and the gentleman said they indeed had some available. When we arrived, we were directed where the hot food was located. My family and I didn't like the selection available, so we decided to order from the menu. We ordered 5 side orders of sticky rice. ($1.50 on the menu), 2 orders of 6 wings(12 total) , 1 order of 2 quail bird along with some pepper. My daughter also grabbed a Vietnamese sandwich. After about 25 minutes, our food was ready. I quickly ask to make sure pepper was in the bag and asked for extra(which I was willing to pay). Gentlemen said yes, pepper is in the bag. I simply grabbed the food and left as we were all in a hurry. Didn't bother to open it up and look either. After our first hike to the waterfall, we decided to eat. We were hungry and needed some food for our next hike. What we found when we decided to dig into our food was unacceptable and upsetting. The 12 wings I ordered were actually 12 drummettes( 6 full wings) and bland. The two quail was overcooked, dried and burnt. The Vietnamese sandwich was horrible. It only had 3 small slices of ham , the rest was carrots. The extra pepper I requested, well.. there was only 3 small containers. The sauce was diluted with water. Worse pepper ever. The sticky rice was warm, soft, and had a good portion. I wasn't even hungry anymore because I was so upset. I finally look at my receipt while my family tried to enjoy the food and I noticed they charge me $2 each for the sticky rice and $1 for the 3 pepper sauce. Shouldn't the pepper sauce come with the chicken? Why did I get charge $1? For extra sauce? Who knows... Please don't go there for their food. If overprice, bland, dry and burnt is what you're looking for, then go for it. If I could give it 0 stars , I would! read more

Food tastes really good. Place might be old but all 3 orders were satisfying. It was constant customers non stop. To go order is together with small Asian market. Not many things but probably cater towards more Thai (or Laos?) people. read more

1st time here. Hubby and I ordered Tom Kae, Chicken Basil fried rice and beef Pad See Ew. None of it was really that good. Tom Kae was bland and and reminded me more of aros con leche. Skimpy on meat as well. Chicken Basil fried rice was bland and on par with Panda Express fried rice. Pad See Ew noodles are supposed to be al dente. They were mush. Almost a purée when you dig in for a bite. Beef is supposed to be tender. It was very chewy. Flavor profile fell extremely short in all 3 dishes. Can't say that I'll be back. read more

We stopped by to eat lunch here because we had to buy grocery too. We ordered two kaow poon and a combination fried rice. The food was decent for the price. The environment is horrible with no AC, only a few fans running. Today was a very hot day and the place was hotter than outside. My parents were so sweaty hot they couldn't eat. The staff were nice but service was very slow and horrible. We waited for 10 minutes to get the menu and almost 25-30 minutes for the food. When the food came out we didn't get utensils so another 5 minute wait. read more

This review is for their boba drinks in the back of the store where they also serve Asian food and dishes. It seems to be mainly an Asian market with various goods that you can't find at the major supermarkets in Redding. It is really hard for me to dislike a boba drink because, let's face it, as a self-proclaimed boba addict, I ain't picky. Most boba drinks are tasty to me, even if some are sweeter or blander than others. But the thai iced tea w/ boba served at this market/restaurant(?) is probably the worst I've had. They don't use black tapioca pearls, but instead they use these white ballies that have a strange and different texture. The thai iced tea part had a weird taste that I can only describe as dirty dish flavor. I wouldn't have finished it if I didn't want to waste the good $2 I spent on it (I'm a poor college student remember). I also tried their blended taro boba drink to give them another chance. It too had a strange aftertaste and tasted nothing of taro. It was more of a milkshake because for some reason they put whipped cream on it. The drinks are cheaper here than the boba tea place around the corner, but as an addict, I want the good stuff and I am willing to pay a little more for better quality. read more

This place is amazing!!! I'm always looking for a good place to try pho in town and now I've found it! The prices are great and the service is excellent! I went with a couple of friends and we all ordered something different so we can try a variety of things. Between the three of us we tried the chicken pho, rice ball salad, and pork chow mein. ALL of them were delicious. We also bought some of the pre-made foods; pork bun (YUM!!), some kind of meatball thing on a kabob, and chicken wings with rice. Everything was fantastic. And you can't beat the prices. There's another place in town (near Raley's on Hartnell) which has some amazing pho also but the price of it here at Kanya Market is literately half. While we waited for our food (which wasn't long) we browsed the store and picked up some random kitchen supplies like hoisin sauce and snacks. The prices were much better than you'd find at any grocery store. We've all decided that going to Kanya Market will be at least a weekly event. Just a note, if you want to use a credit/debit card you have to have a minimum purchase of $10. read more

Best Asian market in Redding. I come here for my tom yum paste, my fresh Thai basil, and Chinese/Japanese teas, but I always leave with an order of curry or other Asian dish to go for my lunch or dinner. Try the pumkin curry. It isn't like you would think. It is SO MUCH better than you can imagine. read more
