    Wayu chuck slices packed with all fat slices at the bottom. Very disappointed
    Brenda T.

    I bought a tray of Wayu Chuck slices of $40.00. Just a few good slices covered on top but all fat slices at the bottom. Very disappointed

    Fast food inside the market

    My family came by to check out this new supermarket on the corner of Lower Azusa and Temple City Blvd. It's a small market next to House of Mandarin Noodle and the donut shop. The parking lot is not very big, but since the traffic was low, there were quite a few parking spots. I had gone to the market before Metro Super Market a few times before, and I think they did a really good job of revamping it. It looks more spacious and much more like an Asian supermarket. The price of the produce and fruits are pretty cheap, but there aren't too many to choose from. I did see the workers restocking the vegetables, so there's always a fresh supply. The meat and fish station also looked very clean, and there were many workers standing behind eagerly awaiting to help the customers. The prices aren't too different from markets such as 99 Ranch, and the prices even match or beat the prices of the lowest Asian markets around, which is good since Metro will probably want to draw new business. They even have a quick fast Chinese food inside of the restaurant to the right where they have combinations of food - 2 different dishes for $3, xiao long bao, etc. The food there looked okay, but not very fresh; however, it's nice to have a choice of quick fast food to-go nearby. All in all, I have to say that Metro has good variety with prices that match or even beat other supermarkets nearby. They don't have as many variety as other supermarkets, but they do have the essentials. They also take credit card!

    Came here a couple of times and glad there's a Chinese market that opened not too far from me. Other closest one to me is 99 Ranch in Arcadia. Though this market is a lot smaller than 99 Ranch, it's convenient and you don't have to deal with the parking traffic and the numerous amount of people. The couple of times I've been here, I had no trouble whatsoever with parking and being in line to buy things. I've never had to wait to checkout and it was a quick in and out shopping for groceries compared to shopping at the always-so-busy 99 Ranch and the tough-to-find parking. As I had mentioned before, this place is relatively small. You'll find your usual Asian food and seafood/meat selection as you would find at places like 99 Ranch and 168 Market but selection here is very limited and the American selection can be just as expensive as you would find in other Asian markets. Price wise is a bit cheaper compared to the other markets. If you love snacks, you should come here to get it. I usually get peanuts, aloe vera, and chicken wings here. There aren't a lot of selections with veggies/fruits so I don't tend to buy them here. This place also has an indoor food court but I have yet to order food from there. I'll just stick to snacks if I need it.

    In House Fast Food Area

    Decided to check out this market with Mom since they were advertising a lot of the slice lambs on the Asian Channels (esp., for the hot pot, wintery season). I've passed by this place many times on my way to Home Depot, and was pleasantly surprised by this little market. Parking: Spacious! They're also right next to House of Mandarin Noodles and across fr Olympic Donuts in the same parking lot. Restrooms: This is 5 stars itself! Generally, Asian supermarket restrooms are nasty and cramped, but the Women's Restroom here is spacious, well stocked and clean!!! They even have an outlet in the handicapped stall - you can charge your phone in case you'll be in there longer, lol! Located in the Fast Food area. As for the market itself... Even though we didnt buy the lamb sliced, we ended up buying sliced Kobe beef for whenever we want out Pho Kobe fix. Mom loves Pho Kobe at Saigon Eden in San Gabriel, and so bam - we bought ourselves a tray of it at $8.99lbs, what a steal! This market is definitely a good place to come and buy sliced meats for hot pot meals. Mom also got 2 packets of salted duck eggs to make her Chinese tamales (banh chung) with, and a packet of Korean rice cakes. They also have an in house Chinese fast food area. They sell BBQ roasted pork and ducks as well food to go, or you can eat it there too. Tables are setup there for customers - clean and private, and sometimes, you'll see the workers eat there too. We ended up getting half a pound of sliced pork ear to go. It was delicious!!! The sliced pork ears were marinated perfectly, tender and gelatinous! We should've ordered a pound, but we were worried that it might be too spicy hot since majority of the meals there were spicy hot. However, we now know better! The veggies and produce selections here are cheap, but not much of a wide selection. However, if you're looking for the basic fruits and veggies, this place will fit your needs. They also got a nice selection of meats and seafoods, but we didn't buy any since we went shopping last week. Overall, this was a nice little market to check out. Our first trip bought us $46 worth of food, and we'll definitely back here next time around.

    That said, you have to be careful with packaged frozen seafood. Unless you know exactly what it is…read moreand how to cook it, do not just trust your eyes. Do not assume that something will have the same taste and texture as what you remember from hometown just because it looks similar. I once bought frozen razor clams that turned out to be chewy, smelly, and almost impossible to chew. Another time, I bought a bag of frozen green mussels. They had exactly the same shape and color as the ones I usually bought from Chinese markets, but they were not cooked. Once defrosted, they practically melted into water. Vietnamese markets also sell many kinds of fish by weight. Most of them are good, but you need real experience when buying raw seafood. Otherwise, it is very easy to waste money. Thuan Phat is a typical Vietnamese market in this sense. You can get most of the ingredients a Chinese family needs. Their fried or dried pork skin is actually much better than what I have found in most Chinese grocery stores. But again, only buy what you know. You need to know the quality, and you need to know how to process it. This Thuan Phat also has several tanks and a full seafood counter for live seafood, including crabs, tilapia, and other fish. The prices are lower than at many Chinese markets, and honestly, the quality is not bad at all.

    I am no stranger to Thuan Phat El Monte Superstore. I have been here many times in previous years…read more It is a huge Asian supermarket comparable to other Asian supermarkets such as 99 Ranch, San Gabriel Superstore, GW or Great Wall Supermarket, etc. Free parking is plenty in the front and back of the store. There are individual merchandise and food vendors along the front inside of store. They carry many different international dry goods, perishable food items, fresh produce, meat and seafood, frozen items, and so much more. You can spend hours shopping here. Most recently, my Mom and I came to checkout the sugarcane juice vendor. We got ourselves one large cup with ice for $7. It is $12 if you want no ice. You have to pay more money if you want all juice. Sugarcane juice tasted refreshing and sweet. I would get it again with no ice next time. I may just bring my own ice or drink it as is.

Having gone to mitsuwa and Tokyo central countless times, Tozai really hits the spot when it comes to affordable Japanese food that actually tastes good. My only complaint is that their rice seems a bit overcooked. It's too mushy for my liking. Teriyaki chicken - extremely generous with the rice. The teriyaki chicken actually has a char taste to it which adds so much flavor to the chicken. There isn't too much teriyaki sauce, which I like. Tempura bento - really loved the tempura in here. Everything was fried just right. The batter is crispy and light. It's not greasy at all. The side dishes were delicious. The fried wontons were good but the fried shumai had a bit of a porky taste to it. California rolls - probably the best I've had in a Japanese market. The rice actually has a slight vinegar taste to it, which is lacking at other places. Croquette - it's meatless but still so good. It's potato only but has an occasional cheesy fragrance to it. Definitely coming back again for the food

    Great Wall Supermarket is located on the corner of San Gabriel Blvd and Garvey and is in the same…read moreplaza with a dozen other businesses. The parking lot is huge but still seems inadequate for the number of cars/patrons in the area. The GW Supermarket is "open" so there's no walls separating market from other business stalls. The area has a bakery, trinket shops and a food court that well liked by customers. I see streams of people weekdays and weekends. What I liked was finding some special edition Yeo Chrysanthemum drinks linking to Chinese New Year (very cute) and sales on lucky red envelopes. The Great Wall is smaller than other Asian supermarkets in the area, which makes everything feel really cramped and crowded. The aisle is tight so movement with two - three carts can be challenging. The selection of variety of anything is limited so I can see the lower-than-normal rating. Overall, GW calls the basics and gives the community another market option rather than driving further into SGV.

I dropped by for some meat, green onions and bean sprouts. I checked out and asked to purchase a bag since I have a tiny tote only. I paid with my ebt card and then the lady said I owe her 0.20 cents for the bag before she will give me one. I did not have change and handed her a $5 and she won't take it or give me a bag. So after staring at each other, I just had put the meat in my tote and carried the other two items. So make sure you have exact change if you want bags....or remember to bring your own. I need to remember as I am super forgetful.
