It's now a San Francisco legacy business. Inside it feels like an imperial dining palace on top floor of the super market but the ground floor is stacked with drinks and food imported from different countries . You will find inside aisles of diversity of edible items from China, Japan, Vietnam,and other countries. This place gets raw like they have raw fish and chicken feet. They also offer raw meat for hot pot lovers like American Waygu and lamb shoulder from New Zealand. It's a pleasant surprise to see so much food available. You will also find duck eggs and different types of noodles. You have to plan a visit before August 1. Tariffs are on its way to the USA whether you like it or not starting this Friday . Deals are being cut with countries who are willing to negotiate. This Friday is a new month because it's the new TGIF= Tarrifs Gets Implemented Friday USA Tarrifs on August 1st are being "impose" on electronics, food and "clothes "some say we are in rough economic waters testing your own" ten toes"but you will be charged an arm and leg because some import prices this and last year has already "rose" with economic uncertainty that nobody can predict and nobody "knows" what direction it "goes" creating some anxiety and economic "woes" We will see prices rise on imports of electronics, food, and "clothes " if nobody is buying them the economy "slows"creating future economic" lows" so buy more made in America goods and services is what I "propose "so the economy " grows"

I've been a loyal customer here, but the service and quality have really gone downhill lately…read more Recently, I asked for 25 thicker beef slices to wrap mushrooms, but they prepared too much and pressured me to buy $74 worth of packages multiple workers also came up and tried to pressure me as well. I purchased two out of three packs. They also tend to over-pack orders--like giving me 3.5 lbs of lamb instead of the 3 lbs I asked for--only for the bottom of the package to be filled with scrap lamb and uneven cuts. I'm only speaking about the hot pot cuts. Everything else is OK. They do have a section where they're selling old restaurant supplies cause it is a old restaurant also good snack snacks in the back, but I definitely will not be back from my hot pot meat.

You do have to walk down a set of stairs and the aisles may be slightly narrow. Recommend stopping by if you are looking for unique specialty items as the nearby grocery stores are quite limited in space and stock. Bring cash!

It seems the tariffs have not hit this spot yet. They have products mostly from Asia at the Pang Kee Bargain Market. It also has a signage for CJ Latino Inc.

You find a lot of different drink mixes for milk tea and also cans of Ovaltine. You will also find different types of tea. Instant noodle soups are found from Pho Bo to Spicy Ramen. A great place to find international drinks and foods from Asia.

This shop is amazing. Lots of variety of everything!…read more Dry goods, noodles, snacks, instant coffee, sauces, candy, seasonings, drinks and cold drinks. But be careful, because it's narrow a$$ aisles are insane. You WILL be touching each others butts or hips and shoulders. I never stay there longer than 10-15 mins as it gets extremely overwhelming. I feel pressured to leave or hurry and pay because it's so narrow and it's uncomfortable when you or someone wants to pass by. I don't think I full looked thru every thing to see if they even have an item or not. It's even more annoying when you line up to pay. Because there's only one line. And it gets pretty long even tho it may be 4-5 ppl because it goes into the aisles. Again, which is extremely narrow!!

Got the salmon Maki ($9.50) and the Omakase nigiri ($17) and both were amazing. Really liked the sushi here Service (4/5): You pick up the food from the fridge and check out. It went by quickly and we had no issues. Ambiance (4/5): Not too much seating as there are only a few tables but it has nice well lit windows. Overall place looks modern and clean.

A really good grab-and-go option when you don't want to commit to a waiter service sushi meal…read more Much higher quality that the Safeway sushi. Decent price too, for sushi. Miso Soup: Not quite an instant soup, since all the ingredients are fresh. A big ball of miso paste, some tofu bites and a whole lot of seaweed. Easier to transport dry and all you need to do is add some hot water at home. I really liked the taste, but felt they went a bit overboard on the seaweed. Mini Uni Don: A little bit of luxury at an affordable splurge. A nice gooey chunk of uni on top of a rice mound with some salmon roe nearby. The uni had that crisp briny sea taste. I actually think it was a mistake to add the salmon roe since it was fishier and kind of distracted with the pristine uni taste. Snow Crab California Roll: I'm normally not a fan of California rolls, since they often use that fake crab. Here they used real crab. Granted, snow crab is no premium Dungeness or Alaskan, but it's decent. Mixed with mayo and put in a sushi roll, it was actually quite nice. Blue Fin Tuna Roll: Simple and classic. High quality tuna, fresh ripe avocado and sushi rice. Pairs perfectly with wasabi and soy sauce. Salmon Avo Roll: Another classic, like the tuna roll. Though the blue fin tuna was more of a treat than salmon. Both good though.

The famous Mow Lee is a legend in itself. It is one of the oldest continuously operating Chinese…read morebusinesses in North America. It was founded in 1856, which means it has been in business for about 170 years as of 2026. Originally, Mow Lee Shing Kee supplied preserved meats and Chinese groceries to the growing Chinese immigrant community during the Gold Rush era. Today, it's best known for: * Chinese sausages (臘腸) * Cured pork (臘肉) * Chinese bacon and preserved duck * Traditional dried goods and pantry staples Many locals consider Mow Lee a "living museum" because it has survived: * the 1906 earthquake and fire, * the Chinese Exclusion era, * multiple economic downturns, * and generations of change in Chinatown. If you enjoy old Chinatown history, Mow Lee is in the same league of historic institutions as Sam Wo (1908), but Mow Lee predates it by more than 50 years and is among the very oldest Chinese-owned businesses still operating in San Francisco. I always stop by to get a bunch of their preserved goodies as gifts or for personal use... they are all super yummy. Service is a typical no-BS style, just get in - order - pay - and next! ;)

As I chose 3 separate bags, I asked her to individually price each bag which she does, proceeds to staple the this red paper as their business card to the bag, every bag....then throws the bags on the scale to give me a total price. This total price becomes higher because of the papers added, almost 2 bucks. Seriously, this order was already over 250 bucks. What a hustler! She knows it too cause I got the silent treatment after. Not even a thank you......I'm done, if it wasn't for my family and friends, wouldn't go back cause it's the principle of business.

The filling to rice ratio is really generous, and I like that they have this bigger assorted version with three flavors- fishcake, tuna, and kimchi so I could try a bit of everything! Loved the kimchi one a lot. Gotta come back to try the other flavors out. Didn't have time to explore the rest of the market, but they seem to carry a bunch of Korean ingredients that are hard to find at a regular grocery store! Lots of nostalgic snacks, seasonings, I even saw fresh Korean rice cake which I'll definitely be trying out next time.

They have a lot of options in stock here, so I loaded up on spicy chili crisp, chiu chow style chili crisp oil, and some mala red oil chili sauce by the classic Lee Kum Kee brand. I also bought a bag of chewy 陈皮糖 chénpí táng that I saw next to the cash register while I was at it. Altogether after the 3% credit card fee, my total came to $18.08. Such a bargain, I will be back.

Quick stop at San Francisco Chinatown, during this recent weekend trip and needed to buy the some…read moreAsian goods, the kine I don't see back home on Oahu. hehe. Luckily my other half happen to find a parking spot right in front of Golden Way. I had plans to go to the other store, I went last time but this works out perfect. The jumbo dried shrimp right in front of store caught my eyes. Stopped by real quick and got everything I needed, wish I could grab more but I had to limit myself since I didn't bring an extra luggagge. Golden Way, a great name, Lets go shop the Golden Way, reminds me of a store here at Chinatown, although very small cramped store it's very organized. Owner does a great job at storing everything and making use of all the spaces. Lots of Asian products here but no fresh produce or frozen products . Credit cards accepted as well, which is great! I ended up using my credit card for my entire purchase since usually cash is preferred in Chinatown. My co-worker wanted a specific soy sauce but no luck in finding it. What did I end up buying here at Golden Way, a LB of jumbo dried shrimp ( I think it was $24. or 25. lb) dried salted fish, dried scallops, long rice noods, pickled veggies, siracha, sauces, condensed milk, preserved eggs. Why on some of the products, Prices actually lower here. The only thing I wish Golden Way does is have prices on some of products, I had to ask how much?! The owner is nice & patient with me. I will be back again! I can't wait to use all those goodies, it made it safely back to Oahu.
