Awesome everyday deals in Cupertino on certain items like the Ito-En bottled teas (Jasmine, Golden Oolong, Green, Bold Green) where the price can't be beat. Best prices on popular snacks like Loacker wafer quadratinis and Calbee shrimp chips. I also like the by-the-pound area (next to frozen food & beverages) to select Japanese millet jellies, a childhood favorite especially the emerald melon one. On occasion I've also seen the vaunted Sunnyhills and ChiaTe pineapple cakes in the front of store, where they keep an interesting selection of packaged food. These weren't cheap but does save you the trouble of going to Taiwan. It's a good idea to read labels and check out unfamiliar brands. Marina has kept prices relatively low despite high inflation so the quality of items can vary. The decor has declined somewhat over time but the prices keep bringing people back. read more

Use to come here a lot. Never had a problem but today kinda upset me. Probably my luck at this point but I was super excited to try these. But as I got home and opened them up. Just molded. They were in the freezer as well kept cold. Pretty bummed. read more

Came by for breakfast the other day and it was a dingy and decrepit experience. Parking is plentiful in the private parking lot. There is a queue towards 7:45 am waiting for the hot deli to open right at 8 am. The interior of the grocery store is dark and is in a state of shambles... Reminds me of a developing country. The menu is written exclusively in Chinese with prices, all taped on the TV... Some staff wear disposable gloves while others wear disposable masks. Ordered the fried dough stick along with an order of pot stickers which were both decent. Credit cards are accepted for purchases over $5. read more

I really enjoy coming here as a vegan because they offer a ton of soy proteins, tofu, and bean curd products; plus, I really like that they're all organized in their own section. I've seen vegan shrimp, vegan fish cakes, vegan pork belly (bacon), vegan duck, vegan chicken, vegan sausages, vegan lemon fish, various kinds of pre-seasoned tofu, and even tofu desserts. My go-to items are the bean curd rolls, mushroom tofu, and almond dessert tofu. I also love the vegan bao buns and scallion pancakes in the frozen section. They're perfect for when you're craving a quick dim sum fix. The parking lot is huge so you don't have to stress about finding a spot. Inside, it feels like your average small Asian grocery store. Some aisles seem crowded with products, but everything is well-organized. The checkout lines usually move pretty fast; while you don't get the friendly service you'd find at a place like Trader Joe's, I don't think the staff is rude like some reviews have mentioned. I'll definitely keep this market in my rotation because of the meat alternatives, and it's always quick and easy to grab what I need and head home. read more

The cashier at the deli was super unfriendly, so impatient with customers. Yeah, the ground meat at the meat counter is cheap, but I've gotten bad, not-fresh meat from there more than once already. I sent an email to the supermarket to complain, didn't get any response at all. I totally wouldn't recommend this place. read more

I stopped off since I was in the area. Enjoyed walking around and seeing a lot of unique items. I picked up some cookies. This seems to be a little on the older side and the staff seemed bored and disinterested. read more

Food was all cold. Everything seemed to have been cooked hours ago and left sitting until you buy.

Noelle's Yelp Notebook 2024 Post Pandemic Chronicles Marina Food is located in Cupertino not far from Apple Park, Donut Wheel and One Infinite Loop. I've never been to this grocery store before. While it's a Chinese grocery store you will find American brands like Clover Milk, Kraft. They also have Korean, Filipino, Japanese snacks and food items. Their snack section is mind blowing as there seems to be a limitless selection and this also applies to their candy and tea section as well. Upon entering the store one will find the latest and greatest Chinese candies, cakes and other snacks. I feel weak and want to buy it all, definitely my kryptonite. They have a large live seafood section with fish and shellfish. Their produce section is large where you will find an excellent selection of Asian fruits and vegetables which you'd be hard pressed to find in your local American grocery store. I love their tea and Chinese medicine aisle so many great selections. I picked up Chinese cough syrup which helps with my allergies. I also picked up some dried passion fruit that I plan on adding to my hot tea. Noteworthy areas - hot food sections, noodles, duck, dim sum for purchase and an area to eat as well. You'll just have to park your grocery cart outside the area. SHENG KEE - OMG, I love Sheng Kee because my parents would take my brother and I there growing up to the different locations across the SF Bay Area. Just as delicious as their other locations. Prices are good. Customer service from the employees stocking the shelves to the checkers are excellent as they are all friendly and helpful. A good spot for your Asian grocery shopping needs! Noelle's Notes Parking lot is crazy - carts and drivers speeding in and out, be careful. Great selection of Asian grocery items. Fair prices and great customer service! read more

I bought a whole duck 6/9/26, I payed $36.00 and they stole and kept part of the duck for themself, they had a metal around the duck, when they cut it, so you don't see what is going on. I saw they put part of the duck in a bag and put it away, very dishonest, I'm not going back to shop there. read more

I knew it was too good to be true when I saw incredibly low prices, especially for snacks. When I got home, I noticed that one salad dressing expired seven months ago and another will expire next month. Make sure you check the expiration date before buying anything. I would avoid purchasing anything meat-related. Marina Food reminds me of Grocery Outlet--cheap groceries on the verge of expiration. read more

Asian grocery store with all the Asian food/products you would need for Asian cooking! Marina Food has an extremely large selection of Asian products and fresh produce. The only downside is that it's a rather cramped grocery store because they have so many products on the floor! Take caution and read the expiration dates before you make your purchases; there were a few items I noticed that were past expiration or very close to expiring. read more

I really like coming here due to being the closest asian store near me, parking is spacious, easy in and out experience, and having a variety of asian food selection to choose from. Two stars down due to finding products that have expired sitting on the shelf, so be careful to double-check the expiration date. read more

I have mixed feelings about this grocery store. When my friend and I refer to this store we call it a "She". This is because we women tend to be indecisive and can never decide on things, and the person who owns this store has perfectly displayed that by buying almost everything. The items are cramped and small, it's almost impossible to fit 2 shopping carts side by side at any given time. There's always stuff in boxes nearby that needs to be stocked. If you plan on going on a quick grocery trip please don't come here because whoa it's overwhelming. So Yelp 2 stars "It could've been better" Pros: They have a huge variety of possible hard to find items. Cons: They have a huge variety of items that are a little hard to find. read more

Staff was unfriendly and they charged me more than they advertised and I tried to tell the cashier that. But they didn't speak English. Most likely will not go back again. read more

The quality of everything here is so bad!!! I needed huyết for the pot of bun bo hue I made at home and a few stores didn't have it so we ended up here. Husband went in while I was waiting in the car with the kids and he sent me a picture of the containers to show me how small they were so I told him to get 3 of them since they were small. Came home and as soon as I took them out of the bag, I knew these were bad. I couldn't tell from the picture but they had cut the cooked huyết into random chunks with lots of bubbles. I boiled them in a pot of hot water and tasted it and they were precooked them in some season water that tasted really bad!!! We didn't end up using any of it. My husband told me I hated this place before and was surprised I was ok with going here today. Apparently it was so bad, I blocked it out of my memory! Never again. read more

I had a "extremely bad" experience with the lady's service who sits right in front of the main entrance of the store. She is at her 50's, I guess, with short curly hair. On 4/2/26 at about 6pm, I went to her and asked to cash the powerball ticket prize. She said that she did not have money, and asked me to come back the next day. Then she started to complain me why I did not go to the gas station with very cold tune and ugly face that made me so uncomfortable. The next day at the same time, I decided to stop by the store hoping someone else could help me. Unfortunately the same lady again with colder face and tune said that she did not have money. I stated that it's her who asked me to come back. She burst into angry and yelled at me "why didn't you go to the gas station!", "we don't have money!". She refused to help me. I told her that I might want to buy a new ticket with the $5 prize and gave me $3 change. She yelled more at me and forced me to buy two tickets instead of one. I stayed calm and quiet to her rudeness, but I didn't think that's acceptable. I don't think it's a good idea to hire such a rude employee to service customers. We don't deserve it!! Before I left the store I told her "I won't come again." read more

I go to this place once a week. A skinny guy with glasses on has been always rude to the customers. Frowning face and thrown the foods that customers purchased. He definitely doesn't like his job for sure. Marina, why you still have this guy, let him go. he ruined customers' day when we do grocery shopping there. I am so sorry to say that, he doesn't qualify for a cashier job. read more

This review is solely for the hot food section. Everytime we get food there, breakfast or rice plate, the food is always spot on. As for the service, I would say you might have a better experience if you can speak Mandarin, but I think as long as you know exactly what you want and tell that to the ladies there, you should have a pretty good experience. I don't speak a word of Mandarin but I learned to pronounce fan tuan just so I could go buy them. Their fan tuan is fire!! I just love the sticky rice texture and how well it goes with the filling. read more

If anyone ever comes here and encounter this gentalman at the register, avoid him at all cost. He is very rude and an ass to customers. First, when i put the basket on the belt, he started yelling at me take everything out. After i took everything out, i gave him the basket and he started yelling i don't want to touch it. WTF, i'm not sure if he is afraid of catching people germs or afraid of getting sick. Then, he started throwing all my produce to the other gentalman to put it the bag. thank god none of the veggies are bruise or else we would have a problem. Lastly, when i gave him cash to pay for my items, he threw my change at me and all the coins dropped everywhere. I don't know what his problem or if he is a racist to non chinese people, but i'm surprise that the owner would let this kind of behaver in a work place. Avoid him at all cost. read more

Rude, insulting and horrible service. Some stuff on the shelves are expired and could be 3 years past the best before date. Always check the expiration date as they will absolutely refuse to refund. Health hazard! read more

This store seems to be closing soon. Interior is dirty and employees are rude. Worse, quality and freshness of their food items are highly questionable. Make sure to check expiration dates and inspect thoroughly on the perishable items you are buying, if you are going to take the risk to shop from there. There are flies flying in the meat and seafood aisles and the cooked food they sell always look stale. The store management really doesn't care read more

Fresh Crab!! Went here last Sunday and bought 8 freshly caught and very much alive Dungeness crabs for lunch. The crabs were crawling around in their chilled fish tank when I showed up. Requested 8 lively crabs from the gentleman behind the counter and he gladly went to the Tank and caught them for me. He brought them over to show me, and yes they were very lively. Put 4 in each bag and I was on my way to the register. Marina had the best prices for the crabs, when compared to another local store. Marina was roughly $5.00 a pound cheaper. The store itself has a wide variety of groceries to select from. The prices seem very competitive with other stores. One plus thing about marina is that every time you buy merchandise a certain percentage goes onto a store card for credit to be used in their delicious deli area. The deli area is wonderful, from Dim Sum to fresh roasted pig and duck to charsui pork. I will be back soon to. Like the my deli food! Great place to shop!! read more

This location is one of the few that have stocked up on the brown sugar milk tea popsicles! It's extremely hard to find at most asian markets, but they had case loads of them stocked up. In the freezer section, they had 3 sections fully stocked of them. Unfortunately, it looks like the standard price for them is $10 when most places sell for $7 without a promotion. With the shelter in place happening, there weren't many people in the store on a Thursday afternoon. It was nice to be able to breathe and not feel cramped in a grocery store. Almost everything was in stock and we didn't have any trouble finding fresh vegetables, meat or other items. Checking out was seamless. read more

Shopping in the meat section of Marina, this guy was rude and horrible in service and told me that I had to buy two large pieces of meat if I wanted to grind them, about at least two, or three pounds. That was still normal. When I was talking to him about the size of the meat that I had to buy, he kept telling me "NO ENGLISH". He doesn't speak Chinese and spoke little English, so Marina wants customers to speak Spanish. ???? really? When does Asia Supermarket in the US request customers to speak Spanish? "NO ENGLISH"? Really???? read more

I bought a roasted half duck yesterday for $21. The guy who cut it did it outside of my view. When home, to my surprise, l discovered that the duck l bought had no legs. However, it had a very long neck as l had 9 pieces of neck in the container. Be careful of this place, unless you like Chernobyl raised ducks with no legs and extra long legs. The cook is a crook. read more

This is the best place to buy live seafood. Live shrimp, live clams without grit, live fish. The land the store sits on has been approved for redevelopment. Not sure how long this market will stay! They give you a credit for each purchase you can use in the deli in the back. Also have a supply of kn-95 masks. These are the best quality I have found unlike the ones on the internet. read more

Every time I come back to the Bay Area, I stop at Marina Food for their breakfast. This is one place I know of with reliable Asian breakfasts of Shao bing and you tiao, which is basically baked flat dough with a piece of fried dough - amazing! They also have fresh soy milk, glutinous rice balls, chive pancake and plenty of other breakfast options to suit your fancy. Opening at 8 in the morning, great place to stop to eat before going about your day. read more

So the saga continues. My previous comment about how I was just unlucky to pick the item may not be true. I think they have more widely spread mislabeling problems. Yesterday when we went shopping, we picked up a "steamer", clearly marked $32.99. There were more than one units on the shelf, with other steamers of the same brand but different sizes on each side. When we checked out, my wife happened to pick a counter with the aforementioned manager working there. I cringed so I asked my wife to watch the prices while I uploaded all the items. Sure enough, when the steamer was scanned, it says $39.99. When my wife told her, she said that price was for a different model. We asked for a price check. She sent a clerk to go with me to the aisle. He took the price tag back. Then she said it's for a blue boxed unit (our box was red). She took me to the front of the store to show me some blue boxed items. But those units were over $40. So I asked her where the $32.99 units were. At that moment, she came up with the most unbelievable response. She said that price is for 2019 models and the units on the shelf are current models. Obviously I very aggravated but I couldn't help marvel at her "quick thinking on the spot". Did she go to Trump U? I asked to speak to her manager and she told me she's the manager, meaning no one else to talk to. Fortunately a man showed up and appears to be more senior. He asked me to show him where we found the unit. Easily convinced that I was right, he said they'll honor the price. He walked back to the counter and asked the woman to do the price correction. She refused. So the man had to ask another cashier to do it. To be fair, the man is much more reasonable. So maybe I shouldn't have given up on all the people working there, just that woman. read more

Today I went to the Marina Market to get fried fish. I always go to the one in San Mateo. This time I was close by to the Cupertino one and when I got home to warm the fish the bag was with full of oil and dropping. This is not the way I get it in the Marina in San Mateo. Very disappointing. I will not go there anymore and will not recommend it. read more

I am very doubtful about the sanitation procedures in this supermarket. There were staff members who used the bags of rice that they are selling to step on, as a ladder. People are going to buy these products. They don't want someone's dirty shoes on their rice bags. I was absolutely appalled to see this. It makes me wonder what other unsanitary actions are occurring behind the scenes in this market. The shopping carts are likely not getting wiped down either. The cashiers have unpleasant expressions on their faces. It is no longer a good experience buying groceries here. read more

I had a bad experience with this store. Brought a box of Sun Cake (太陽餅), only to find out it tasted so bad. It was not rotten, but more like decayed. I tried to return the product, but the store clerk said although the cake tastes terrible it is still edible. So no return was accepted. This incident shows they don't care about their reputation, let alone customers well being. read more

Do not go to this place! Drove 30 min to get here. And still 20 min to close. Staff there locked the door and won't let me in. It closes at 8, but just won't let people in. I don't know why I went there. The food is usually not fresh and molded. Aisoles are too close. Floor is dirty and sticky. Some items are over priced too! (Not that overpriced compared to 99 Ranch). This is a disgusting place. read more
