This place used to be marina grocery but it seems that it has changed to hashi market. Doesn't seem…read moreto have changed much. There is live seafood at the back of the store. Prices were similar to ranch 99. Good selection. Produce didn't seem as fresh as ranch 99 and several of the fruits being sold looked visible bruised or way too ripe. There is not a lot or room to walk around and when it is busy, you cannot really walk around with a shopping cart. Cashiers were generally friendly and the seafood team was responsive. The meat department butchers were a bit curt. I think I prefer ranch 99.

2.5 stars After visiting family members in San Mateo, we…read morestopped by the market to pick up some fresh crabs and vegetables before getting on the freeway. Not too familiar with the area, we were unaware of the ownership change. Crabs at $7.99/lb. seem like a reasonable price, vegetables looked fresh. Meats and seafood are priced a little lower than other Asian markets. I was excited to find some sesame candy which reminded me of childhood snack, however there is no expiration date on the good looking box ($4.99). The food court area is being remodeled, we walked around it carefully. The crabs we steamed last night for dinner were pretty good. Today I tried the sesame candy and was very disappointed. As soon as I opened the nicely wrapped candy, the aroma of rancid sesame oil hit me and it tasted bitter.....basically the candy is inedible. I understand it may not be the fault of the market because this item was imported. The lack of expiration date should have given me a warning, my fault. Needless to say we will not be rushing back to shop here anytime soon, hopefully they do a better job on quality control going forward.

Very decent Asian food market within walking distance. I've been going there for several years and…read moreonly recently realized I forgot it review it. Time to rectify my mistake. I went there to pick up the basics (rice, vegetables, fruit, etc). It is much more than that, I get my Chinese sausage there, too. And each time I go, I figure out something else that I like. Now it is the place I get my Asian condiments, snacks and beer. I am slowly moving up to their meats and fish. I like all of their offerings and will figure out their poultry very soon. It does look good. Everything is clean and well-organized. Service is good and the lines for the cashiers are never long. And now for the pics.

Greetings to all, this is my first review of this location of the Market, let's see how it went:…read more Parking is shared with the other businesses in the same area; this works out well for the market. Inside is a modestly lit atmosphere which works well for what they are trying to achieve. One of the things I most about this market is the fact that you can't tell that they have a fresh meat section until you actually see it;, you know what l mean this , in some markets you smell them before you see them. I also enjoy all of the numerous commodities and fresh vegetables on hand as well. And the Specialty snack goodies. The service is very nice and friendly. Their little sister market down the hill on El Comino could take lessons from them .

Stepping into JAGALCHI market is like embarking on a mini-vacation! From the moment I walked in, I…read morewas struck by how incredibly clean and organized everything is. It's a feast for the senses--each corner reveals something new and exciting. The pricing is so affordable, especially for the high-quality items they offer. The bakery? Absolutely insane! Each pastry looks like it was crafted by a master. And don't even get me started on the seafood selection; it's out of this world. Whether you're looking for fresh catches or prepared meals, you're bound to find something that tickles your taste buds. Most of the employees were incredibly friendly and helpful. I give that a nine out of 10. I felt like I was on a whirlwind shopping excursion, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere and discovering treasures at every turn. I can't wait to get back home to Southern California with all my goodies! If you're looking for an unforgettable experience, JAGALCHI market is the place to be. You won't regret it!

Jalgachi is part mega Korean supermarket, part ready made Korean food heaven, and they even have a…read morerestaurant that I haven't tried yet. As a Korean supermarket, this place has pretty much everything you could want, from fresh produce to hard to find Korean seasonings and ingredients. Couldn't ask for more! They also have a huge selection of prepared hot food. While you can definitely get better Korean food at a dedicated restaurant, I was still impressed by the sheer variety and convenience. I live pretty far away, so I probably wouldn't make a special trip just for Jalgachi, but I'd absolutely stop by whenever I'm in the area. And maybe next time I'll finally try the restaurant!

Action is in the back at the fish counter, where you'll find a short line, with each person rambling off "1 pound of otoro" or "2 pounds of salmon". Its intense to the say the least. Fish is great! you won't be disappointed. Super fresh. Price is reasonable too. And staff is very friendly and accommodating. It's slightly on smaller side, but overall selection is good, and the market is what you'd expect for a Japanese grocery store. Parking in the area can be challenging at times, so make a trip out of it or go off peak hours.

Marina Grocery Store was always an average and older spot to shop for Asian/Chinese groceries. The…read moreseniors running the chain has retired and sold it. Most of their locations are now rebranded as Hashi Market which is an improved grocery store with a bit more variety and some Japanese items. Driving up to this location, you will still see the old Marina Grocery Store as they are transitioning to Hashi Market. At least the shopping carts do read Hashi Market on them. It looks like a legit grocery store and it's still very spacious with lots of selections inside. I saw more cash registers opened and operating during lunch hours. Convenient and walkable plaza. Cashiers are busy and occupied as usual. It does get crowded at times, especially in this plaza surrounded by high population residents and apartment units nearby. I still see elderly seniors walking around and walking home. The Japanese foods/snacks section is not bad at all. I definitely found some good items on sale today. Give Hashi Market some time to rebrand and pick up the pace. Hashi Market in Milpitas is also looking much better nowadays. This place is convenient is you're in the area for sure. There's plenty of good restaurants and nearby shops to browse around or you can also cross the streets to the next plazas all around. Looking good for now.

Hashi Market opened 7 months ago where Marina Market was and still is in name only. (Exterior name…read morehasn't changed). Very busy parking lot as usual. Delivery trucks parked in the passing lanes didn't help. Curious to view changes if any. The deli and eatery section isn't open. Only a travel agency occupies a vendor space. Entire left side isn't utilized. Big aisles with most shelves filled with goods at reasonable prices. Mexican, American, and Asian products sold. Medicines & hard liquors sold in front. Special section with products for Lunar New Year also in front. Sad to see only one register open. Didn't look for specials. May return at a future date when I have more time. Majority of shoppers were Chinese.

I'm not rushing back here for their premade food. I just feel I get cheaper and better quality at other markets. So it's hard to go here for it. The bulgogi kimchi fried rice was quite oily. A bit spicier than I want it to be but it's not burning hot which is liveable. The karaage was ok. Tartar sauce as a dip is a choice. The poke bowl felt like it could be better. The fish pieces were a bit haphazardly chopped. The seaweed was a bit slimy. But if you're needing to find snacks or frozen food or drinks, it's nice to have the option. nearby-ish. Also one of my bffs came here for a bunch of snacks and the associate there checking out her items noticed she was buying something that had a smaller amount where the larger amount item was on sale for the same price. I appreciate them looking out for you to get you a good deal! That's good service there. Everything is nicely laid out and clean so it's a lovely shopping experience but there is a slight smell of perhaps cleaning product which I guess is better than dirty smelling. Again not rushing back, but maybe I'd come back for the chips and such.

Mega is clearly far and away the best Asian market in the Bay area... having said that, I do have…read moresome complaints but will give it the 5 stars it deserves. Let's start with the good, or I should say best. The sashimi here is the best of any Asian market bar none. You could even say better than some Sushi restaurants (I won't name them). Even some of the newer Asian markets like T&T have disgusting sashimi... to the point you can taste the ice bc they hadn't fully defrosted it. The only nit I have is bruh... stop putting the frickin plastic sauce packets right on top of the fish. Why? Why would you do that? Stop it. Come on. Why in the actual F would you do that? Ok, I know this sounds more like complaints but I do really like Mega Mart to be clear. 2 other issues: #1. Dude... what're you guys doing with the panchan? When did you start adding so much sugar and sugaring the F out of the panchan. This is not how it should be. Old Korean grandmas are literally turning in their graves with this sacrilege. Maybe panchan sales are falling, but you can be damn sure I will never buy this again with the amount of sugar you guys add. Like why? Why 50% sugar... seriously, this panchan candy bar nonsense makes no sense! #2. What happened to organic natto? Like bruh. You only had 1 brand left that was organic. Sure I could go to Nijiya and have a choice of 2, but I'm disappointed you guys stopped carrying the only organic natto you had.

I was excited to see that they now have a "Vegan Vegetable Mandu" offering in the hot food section. I had to grab both options to test them out : Unlimeat Kimchi Mandoo and Unlimeat Vegetable Mandoo. Each package has 8 pieces and a packet of shoyu. After trying both, the kimchi version won me over a bit more. The other option is lighter in flavor, and I'm a fan of bold and spicy food. Adding the shoyu helps, but I could easily eat all the kimchi ones alone. I'm not sure I'd get them often, but I like having an option in the grab and go section for when I'm short on time and hungry. They also added some Pulmone vegan-friendly microwave dumplings to the frozen section, so I got those too. I noticed some plant-based bulgogi kimbap in the frozen section, but I decided to skip them because I'm iffy about the textures of frozen kimbap. I love when grocery stores have vegan-friendly options! I hope this means they'll start adding more vegan-friendly options in the grab and go hot food section. A tofu and veggie rice bowl would be nice!
