Seafood Paradise Fish Market

If you're into cooking fresh seafood at home, this is the place. I went for my favorite sashimi,…read morewhich is abalone and geoduck but they have a lot of other live options like fish, crab and lobster to prepare at home. Even frogs! Didn't realize this, but they will prepare the items for you like take the abalone out of the shell and clean the geoduck for you so all I had to do was slice and eat. Saw them doing the same for some fish, which was cool. Be sure to tip them if they do prep for you. Prices seemed reasonable to high, but considering my favorites are difficult to find, price was really no object. I wish I didn't have such expensive taste or I'd be back weekly :). Language is a bit of a barrier but can get by with pointing and basic English. Pro tip: ample parking in back or street parking right up front.

If you're not near the water then this is one of the better seafood markets in the SGV. They have…read more a large assortment of fresh live seafood from large king crabs and Maine lobsters to live fish like sheepheads and rockfish. They also have shellfish and other live specialities like frogs. As far as service goes you pick the one you want and they get it from the tank for you. The place is very clean and the tanks and floors are also very clean for a live seafood market

Parking in back with an entrance. Parking on street in front too. But parking in back, easier access.

Meaty and I was told this one is male crab but yet there is a little of roe in it too!

I usually place an order through their Instagram DMs a few weeks in advance for holidays. You can ask for their excel spreadsheet and they'll send it to you with prices and this same spreadsheet updates every year! There is also a little deposit for holiday pick up depending on the size of your order. Their sashimi platter is beautiful, fresh, delicious, and always a party favorite. I usually get: Salmon, Toro, Yellowtail, Scallops, and Oysters. If available, uni trays and fresh wasabi (which can also be picked up at HMart). Scallops are my favorite but every piece of fish is so good and cut perfectly. Parking and pick up is easy. It is a very small store front with one party inside at a time and pay at the counter. Highly recommend for party platters for fresh sashimi.

Thuan Phat El Monte Superstore

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.

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.

We even got an order on the house. Thank you! There is also water at the counter. We ordered: Beef Wang bowl - was so good and flavorful. Highly recommend Cheesesteak Fries - if you like fries and steak, highly recommend Angus Cheese Burger - not bad if you're just feeling like a burger, but nothing amazing or special Spam Scrambled Fries - just ok, the other dishes were way more tasty Overall the beef at this place was so good. I would recommend any dish with beef. This place is located in a small plaza so parking could get tricky during rush hour. We arrived during an odd time of day and so there was plenty of parking for us. The interior is cozy with lots of booths and the space offers a selection of board games to play while you waited. We discovered a new board game while we were waiting too which was a plus. Our food did not take long to come out either. Tip: please respect the board games. Many of the games had ripped instructions or the box was falling apart which is just so sad. Thankfully it looked like most still had all pieces to be playable.

I would order them again. The banana smoothie was okay, but it was a little more watery than I expected. I was hoping for a thicker, creamier texture. Even so, it was still refreshing. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would come back, especially for the cheesesteak fries. The food was good, and it was a nice place to grab a quick bite.

They have varieties of Asian snacks, herbal items, fresh vegetables, drinks, kitchenware, frozen items (meat/seafood, desserts, etc).

I purchased white peach syrup bottle to make my own peachy iced tea drinks at home.

The owner is always so sweet and lets me customize my sandwich and drink, so that it's to my liking. They do have alternative milks and lactose free creamer so even if you're vegan, there will be a drink for you. The food options are vegetarian friendly. She also shared her story with me, that it's been tough getting foot traffic to her store, so if you're able to come by and try her tasty croissants and some of their drinks, please consider it! It's never too noisy in Valley Cafe, although they do keep a radio on. They do have WiFi but only one outlet so come with your devices fully charged. Service has always been kind and thoughtful though!

I had a lovely experience at Valley Cafe (El Monte). I ordered the Pandan Cream Coffee Latte ($7 -…read more24oz - Iced). This vibrant cream rekindled memories of nuts and delicate vanilla. This fresh, delicious coffee woke me up, and I couldn't contain my smile. TASTY! (Important: Bring Cash. There's a 50 cent processing fee for all card transactions.) I arrived at Valley Cafe (El Monte) on Tuesday (around 12PM). Parking is very easy because the rear lot is big. However, I felt a little uneasy as unfortunate homeless people wandered nearby. Honestly, I felt anxious about approaching this business because it's located in such a worn down area. I am so happy that the positive recommendations were genuine. Staff is very welcoming and hardworking. Staff politely answered all my questions, and Staff gave wonderful recommendations. My drink took four minutes and 19 seconds. Good time! As mentioned, I ordered the Pandan Cream Coffee Latte ($7 - 24oz - Iced). It's DELICIOUS and HUGE! It perfectly balances utility and flavor. I embraced its loving caffeine. And I happily enjoyed the silky, chill brew. I love how the flavor of fresh coffee shines while also delivering such a delectable pandan, nutty flavor. It's one of the best! On ambiance, Valley Cafe (El Monte) has some utility. There's customer internet with password; customers must ask Staff for the details. However, there's only one electrical outlet near a tall counter. Fortunately, there's a gender neutral restroom for customers in the back. Valley Cafe (El Monte) is also very clean. The floors sparkled! And the location is small, but it's comfy. There's about four tables and one counter. Light upbeat music played. Overall, I am humbled by Valley Cafe (El Monte). It's a perfect textbook example of "Don't judge a book by its cover." There's passion and sincere care within this establishment. The coffee is also phenomenal. If nearby, I wholeheartedly recommend. 4.9 out of 5
