2 Stars for cleanliness and convenience....-1 star for quality of meats (in particular). I purchased chicken wings from here twice, and both times, it was spoiled!!! I didn't bother to return because it would be more of a hassle than what its worth. On the other hand, I have purchased other meat, pork, beef & ground meat that has been very fresh and lean. They have even sliced my beef for me, perfectly thin for philly cheese steaks, free of charge. Their prices are GREAT for produce! I did not like the hot food (Chinese/Mandarin). It just wasn't fresh, and they served it to me COLD! They do have a bakery that has a variety of pastries, breads, etc...that are fresh and good. However, if you're trying to soothe that sweet tooth, you won't at this bakery. The sweets look delicious, but are far from sweet! It is actually a diabetics heaven! read more

First time to go this grocery market I was surprised to see this market had many korean products such as instant ramen, instant coffee, snacks and drinks. Well organized and clean. I think this was better than ranch 99. read more

Huge asian market in line with Ranch 99 and Lions. Deli food was OK but no dim sum. Aisles are wide so you can get your shopping cart through. Backwall is the butcher shop with the bakery by its side. The first aisle is damn cold so wear a jacket going through there. Got a 10% off on my bill for grand opening which was a nice surprise. It was cash only but I think they didn't set up their credit card machines yet. read more

A really nice change of pace from 99 Ranch. They have a wider range of products from different Asian countries. Palm sugar and Nasi Goreng spice mix from Indonesia, check. Thai chili pastes and tamarind paste for pad thai, check. Snackies from Hawaii? CHECK! Depending on what you're looking for, I would say some of the prices on groceries are cheaper than 99 as well. I wouldn't go for their BBQ meats which have waay too much sugar, MSG and food coloring, but some of their hot bar items are delish--like the fan tuan. I need to try some other things--that chili shrimp has been calling me these days. At least there's always a reason to go back! read more

I'm an Asian shopper. I only want to pick up the "Yo-peng-yo-jeng" items. Why? Because I get a great feeling when I brag to my mother. Unfortunately I went here before I stopped by the 99 Ranch near my home. I saw something that caught my eye at Marina. It was green, red, pink color fruit. Holy smoolys! DRAGONFRUIT, but my happiness shot right down to the pits as soon as I saw the price $4.99/lb wtf man why is this so expensive. Knowing that I've never tried it before, I must try it, but then maybe I'll wait. I rolled my cart back and forth around the area and away from it. I finally drove my cart right in front of the DragonFruit stand to pick out 3 rare/somewhat rare/semi-ripped dragonfruit so it can ripe at home. A box of coconuts (9 count) for $7.99 when 99 Ranch has it for $9.99 Now I'm sad because that item was on sale at 99 Ranch $2.99/lb two days afterward. I was devastated to go home later that day and found 2 of my dragonfruit gone and devoured by my younger brother. Sighs... I'll stop by 99 Ranch later to get it. Two days later at 99 Ranch they no longer sold the DragonFruit that I was craving for. I'm still waiting to taste my first/last DragonFruit. Does anyone else know where would sell this item? read more

What was once Alpha Beta has become Lucky's. What was Lucky's became Albertson's. A decade later, Lucky's is back. Short lived return however as the mainstream grocers are literally outnumbered 2 to 1 in this smelly two exit town. But I can say that. Nonetheless, out of all the Asian grocery in Milpitas, Marina is on top of their game With a clean and well organized store. While people are literally falling over themselves at Ranch or Lion, you can easily navigate the aisles at Marina and find what you need. You know what? You won't even break a sweat. That's the charm of this place. Its quiet. Grocery items are standard Asian fair with a pretty good Mexican aisle mixed in. Meat and fish are standard too, but Ranch has an upper hand. Deli looks good, but need to try on another visit. Bakery person sort of pushy on repping the goods. Did notice some food clearly marked as 'keep refrigerated' outside of any refrigeration and did come across one item past its expiration date. Both are easily corrected so don't hate. read more

The meat looks very old and not fresh...most of the products I want are not available here... wont make another visit next time

The best asian market in Milpitas and San Jose!!! They have good prices... Clean... People are nice... Aaannnd they carry "Palm Corned Beef!!!" Yessssssssss!!!!!!!!!! read more

For an Asian grocery store it's very clean. The isles are further space apart so it's not claustrophobic. The price are relatively cheaper than American stores such as Safeway and Lucky's. They have lots of seasonings, spices and sauces for all ethic dishes. When you are ready to check out, there's not a long line like other stores. read more

The bakery & hot foods here don't look appealing like Ranch 99's, but this grocery store has snacks like the gummy choco's and ice cream tubs a dollar cheaper than ranch 99. Yeah, it's only a dollar less, but if you buy a lot, the dollars add up! & I LOVE Gummy Choco! :D read more

I'm going to give this supermarket all 5 stars and I'm going to tell you why. Granted when it finally opened it was insanely crowded, prices didn't look all that good and some of those meat and fish doods in the back had some attitude problems. However it's been a few months now since they're opened and lots of things have been ironed out. I have a few recognizable fish doods who are nice and very helpful. I can tell their prices are more reasonable now and more better than at 99 Ranch, I've found some pretty kick ass stuff I haven't found at other supermarkets yet (a yummy green tea latte that taste like drinking hot green tea ice cream yum! and a really good Tofu pudding are a couple of examples). Their deli is pretty good the roast duck that is split in half is really good, and their roast pork is pretty lean, the distance from the meat to the skin is not marred terribly by a huge layer of fat, I think it's because they are roasting smaller and younger pork. The veggie section is good and they always have huge amounts of whole jackfruit to pick from. I haven't bought one yet, don't know how to pick 'em! And the BEST thing that helped this supermarket 5 stars... There's never more than one person in front of me in line, if there ever is a line at check out. OMG...i'm glad no one goes here because it's so easy for me to go in get what I need, and then leave without ever having to find parking or wait for ever to pay. Score!!!! The cashiers have always been very nice as well. I don't know who owns this store chain but they rule with a definite iron fist, while everyone else (asian supermarket-wise) was closed early for this past Lunar New Year eve, they were open until 10pm - business as usual. I felt sorry for the people working but hey! I was able to buy what I needat 9pm on LNY eve. Sweet! :) read more

MARINA GROCERY Glad to see another Asian supermarket open up in Milpitas. Ranch 99 is still far superior, but it's always nice to have choices. Occupying the old Albertson's, Marina brings a nice Asian flavor to the plaza. Upon approaching Marina, you'll notice huge bins on the outside filled with large fruits: jackfruit, pink and white pomellos, oranges, watermelons, etc. The one thing that I love to shop here at Marina are the fruits. They are so cheap compared to other supermarkets. You can buy 3-5 pounds for a $1 for a wide range of fruits. Also, the bakery offers the largest pastries i've ever seen!!! On the downside, it seems a bit dirty on the inside of the store. It's not dirty by any means, but maybe it's the interior lighting or arrangement of the stands, which gives it a more ecclectic look and feel compared to the neatness of Ranch 99 or Safeway, for that matter. Be that as it may, if you're looking for cheap, large, fresh & sweet fruit, Marina is the way to go! read more

They need to hire someone capable to work in seafood section: I asked for one pound shrimp, the first guy repeated "one pound" and, gave me half pound; I kept telling him I need one pound, not half pound, he looked confused and turned his head to ask another guy, and then the second guy came and gave me 1.5 lb. I told them I need 1.0 lb, not 0.5, not 1.5, it should be 1.0 , finally the third guy came and gave me one pound. As an Asian market, I totally understand they don't need to be native English speaker, but at least should know basic numbers, one, half, one and a half, etc. read more

Went here randomly while in Milpitas over the weekend. BF and I were on a grass jelly and barley tea mission. Outside smelled like a sewer. Just a foul, foul odor. For some reason the way they stock their items is confusing. Drinks are here, there, everywhere. It took a few trips around the store to find where they kept canned drinks. Price wasn't too bad. Cheaper than Ranch 99 in Dublin, that's for sure. We got Taiwan (of course) grass jelly (2 cans) and barley tea (1 can) for a little over $1.50. Bf decided to buy some red bean bread from Sogo Bakery, located inside the store. You could smell the bread being made despite it being around 10 pm. read more

For any grocery store, this place is clean and well staffed. I mostly shop in cramped ass sf, so this place is spacious. Can't complain about the free parking. I was even offered free sampling of cooked enoki mushroom. That's unheard of. Lots of ethnic foods: Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Filipino, Latino. The produce has huge variety, meats, and live seafood. All clean and no complaints. They also have a bakery and bbq take out. I am impressed. Living out in the burbs does have it's benefits. read more

See all

totally rot and smell so stinky, can't believe I didn't pay attention and cashier didn't tell me either, not sure will get refund

I stopped here to buy some veggies since I was in the area. This is not Marina Food, but a knockoff. The store has a bad stench and the cashier's are quite rude with a surly attitude (likely because they are treated badly by the management). read more

The only good thing I can write about this grocery store is the variety of foods and snacks sold. The main reason this store got such a bad rating is because of how dirty and sloppy most of it was. The shelves were raveled, the products were covered in dust and dirt, and worst of all, it sold products that expired THREE YEARS AGO. They weren't expired from a couple months ago, but years ago. I was about to reach for a bag of rice cracker when I saw that it went bad in 2015!!! This just shows how little of an effort employees are making to keep the store clean. Save your time by going to other higher quality asian supermarkets. read more

Live fish seafood. Fresh veggie. Lots of parking. It's a good place to get food. But don't skip Target for other groceries. Better than ranch 99 because in ranch, there are less variety of choice. read more

No single cashier bags your groceries when you bring your own bag. They literally just stand there. I don't know how this is called customer service. read more

Been going here for years. But won't waste your time. As much as I try to look for the good in people. Tonight had the MOST un friendliest cashier. No hello or hi, gave receipt to us by us having to reach further, no thank you, we had to ask her to push our bags to end..... NO NOTHING. Last X we ever go. Old Rude cashier at 830pm closest to VEGE dept. was cold. CUSTOMER SERVICE NEEDS IMPROVEMENT. A simple hello, thank you would be a start. read more

My mom frequents this store often of their cheap produce prices. I find the quality is not that great. Just be careful if your buying fish in trays. My mom bought a tray of salmon bellies and she found 2 little half cut fish hidden under them. They were not fresh and had a really bad odor to them. What company does this? Sneaky... read more

Moldy produce, disgusting mangled live fish with swollen sides and blind eyes, etc make this place really gross. I wouldn't get anything here that isn't factory sealed, like cans, and even then, still check the expiration date. read more

Marina Grocery - WTF mangled fish - International Grocery Near Me - Milpitas, California

This Asian market is the only around me that my herbal tea and the rice at the size I want for sale. I don't know why this Marina looks...unclean. I always think twice before buying produce here. Lots of flies flying around. The Marina in Fremont is so much cleaner. Why can't they put some effort to make it look just like the one there? read more

After having to deal with rude cashiers on two separate occasions, will not be coming here again. They need to be more selective on who they hire as cashiers. Some of the older lady cashiers there have no business working as cashiers and dealing with customers. Totally unprofessional with limited English and absolutely zero social skills. read more

Don't ever purchase any liquors or wines from this store and always look at the receipt before you leave the store. They sell fake liquors and wines. If you come back and complain they will tell you to contact the winery directly. The over charged on my purchases at least two times. I bought a small bag of rice and was charged for big bag. It happened twice. The store manager Christina Chau and Gary are the worst managers. No customer service experiences and rude. Be careful when you shop at this place. It is better to shop at another super markets near buy just to be safe than sorry. read more

I live close to a lot of Asian markets and let me just say, this place is the best. The store is very big and very clean. Produce is extremely fresh. The roast duck and roast pork at the deli is absolutely delicious and prices on just about everything are unbeatable. The best thing is the hours are great. They are open from 8 am - 10 pm. Unheard of for an Asian market. Thumbs up. read more

They have poor customer service. I was treated like crap. Was trying to return an item that I found was open when I arrived home. They refused to refund me. The manager who I spoke with assumed that I was trying to cheat them out of $3. They even went to the extent of reviewing their video surveillance tape as proof that when I left the store package was intact. Just $3 and they are willing to lose a customer. What kind of business is run that way ? definitely will not go back. read more

Worst Asian grocery store for customer service ever!!! Sells rotten meat. When taken back to return. Management said it's suppose to smell like that. Told her to keep it and eat it herself. Food court. Rude service as well. With the neighboring Asian markets. This is the worst ran and management. Will never go back again. DON'T BY THEIR MEATS!!! read more

Out of many Chinese groceries in Milpitas area, this location has the worst quality groceries. The facility is clean and lots of parking is available. However quality of fresh vegetables is not good. read more

I hate the service at seafood department. I purchased 3 crabs (at $2.99/lb) two weeks ago. First, the guy weight the crabs after putting them into those thick heavy grocery paper bag... which means I also paid for the paper bag soaked with water for $2.99/lb. What a rip-off! Second, they refused to clean my crabs (cut them into 3 pieces) until i paid. I will never go back there for crabs. Ranch 99 also sells crabs for $2.99/lb at that time and weight the crabs with clear plastic bag. They also drained the water out before weighting, which is the honest way to go. read more

Marina in Milpitas sold me bad mooncakes. We bought 2 boxes. My kids got sick after eating one from the 1st box, so I brought the 2nd unopened box to the store for return. It was within their 7 day return policy. But they refused to handle the return because the mooncase was bad! Can you believe this? They clerk called herself "Harley" and told me her manager "Christina" told her over the phone not to return the bad cake. I asked to talk to the manager and she refused. How rude can it be?? I believe they are violating the law by selling bad food. I need to figure out how to let Milpitas city know and do an investigation on this store. read more

Good place, I can find everything what I need. Usually I buy fruits and seafood, it is best place for that

Frozen foods are cheaper then 99 Ranch. Some of the produce and fruits are cheaper. Skip the bakery and hot foods area.

This place is one of the better "Chinese" groceries around. In Milpitas alone, there could be more than 5 big Chinese groceries (Rach 99, Ocean, Cali Ranch, Lion's and this one) but I noticed that prices differ from each one. The prices here are lower as compared to other 4. The place is organized and not as packed like Lion's where you could hardly maneuver your cart because of the many boxes, and goods laying around the area. I particularly like an older lady with eyeglases (she seems to be a manager) who works and boy, is she fast and efficient! I always get a happy feeling whnever I see her on duty since I know in my heart that I will get the service I deserve. Their meat are fresh and their Filipino goods are regularly priced the lowest especially the banana catsup. read more

The market is not very big but has most what we need. Would give it a 3.5 star but the reason why I'm only giving it a 2 star is because some people work at the cashier could be rude sometimes. So I forgot my wallet today but just needed something small so paid with one dollar coins and some quarters. The girl at the cashier looked at my one dollar coins with this really suspicious look on her face then asked me what it is. I explain they are one dollar coins and pointed out where it says $1 on the coins to her but she still wouldn't believe me. After a while she finally said ok but then pointed out one coin that doesn't have the $1 but instead has the words "one dollar" written on the coin and asked me to change it because it doesn't have $1 like the others l. At this point I really can't believe it and told her that she can get someone else to look at it if she has never seen one dollar coins. I never thought this kind of silly things could become an issue at a market that deals with cash all the time. read more

I used to buy a lots of food at Hot Deli area. Yesterday I went here i bought Banh Bao for my daughter. I think they change the style or something it taste really NOT good. Please have a look at the Banh Bao and some of the food there The rest are pretty good read more

I can usually find flavored Japanese sake like white peach, lychee, raspberry, and Fuji apple (have not tried yet) and a variety of soju. The Yogo Vera flavored drinks are the best. The best combo I can think of is mixing the classic soju with the yogo vera melon, or peach with sprite to make it one of them "creeper" drinks that get to you later. read more

Customer service sucks. Manager is unprofessional. Register lady her name is Manuela was talking to us rude and on the phone with someone. The Manger her name is Maria had her back and didn't even apologize to us. read more

We got one order of bean curd sheet from their hot deli. When we opened the box, it smell rancid. It must be rotted and we end up throw it in the trash can. read more
