Been in the neighborhood for 15 years and only been here once when it smelled horrible. 15 years later and it's so much better. The people are nice and an excellent selection even found Chinese vegan meats in the freezer. Glad we check it out 15 years later. read more

I was extremely disappointed by my experience at your store today. I was trying to purchase a drink, but I was told that I had to spend a minimum of $5 in order to check out. I went back and grabbed a second drink so that I could meet the minimum. When the cashier checked the price, the total for the two drinks was $4.99. Even though it was only one cent short, she still refused to complete the transaction and told me that it was not $5. Honestly, this was extremely frustrating and completely unnecessary. Refusing a purchase over one cent, especially after I had already added another item to meet the minimum, is ridiculous and very poor customer service. The entire experience was unacceptable and frankly quite disappointing. I hope management seriously reviews this policy and how customers are being treated. I do not recommend this store to anyone. read more

A nice Asian grocery. They carry fresh vegetables at very reasonable prices, and the quality is consistently good. One thing that really stood out to me was their selection of Vietnamese cured pork (Chả Lụa) rolls, which can be surprisingly hard to find even in other Asian markets. They got premium chicharron bags too that is the best Ive had and cant find elsewhere. read more

Came in for a fried fish and boy, it did not disappoint. First off, the meat was all reasonably priced and that goes for the fish. Second, it was very clean. Third, the workers at the meat counter were all very nice and helpful. Ordered fish to be fried and while it was being prepared, walked through the aisles. There was a lot of everything to chose from and although we didn't need anything, it was a good mental note for when I do need something. We got some produce and all of it looked good, not wilted or sad, so I was very impressed. We took the fish home and it was so much better than we've had at other places. It was crispy, salted perfectly and it was really good. Pretty sure we found our go-to for fried fish! read more

I asked them as a patient with diabetes help to exchange sweetened coffee sachets to unsweetened packets. They bluntly said because the package over 3 months, they cannot help. The manager even said if everyone come to return, they will be out of business! GEEZE!! People need to stop this type of fallacies of generalization when they are the ONLY issue! that is immoral for NOT HELPING a PATIENT or pushing them harder into the dangerous illness because of their products! THAT IS MORE OF THE REASON they will be out of business than being afraid of returning bad products for healthy choices! read more

Was running errands nearby and stopped in for a bit to check out this community asian grocery store. I was pleasantly surprised. They had a good selection of the dried asian spices I was looking for to resupply my pantry and some weekly special discounts on ribeye steak and pork chops. Veggie and produce selection is modest but with reasonable prices. I especially like their small ice cream refrigerator near the front entrance. It had some unique fruit shaped ice cream I haven't tried yet and a few single a la carte wafer sandwiche style bars. I picked up the ice cream wafer sandwich bar for $2.50 and it was a nice treat on a sunny day. read more

Pacific Ranch Supermarket - Recommended for hot summer days. $2.50 each. - International Grocery Near Me - San Lorenzo, California

My boyfriend and I came here for the first time looking for lime leaf to make red curry. We found it in the freezer aisle, which is awesome. Lily was able to help us out. I realize that the service there was super friendly. Also, their prices are super affordable compared to other Asians supermarkets. They have more Asian variety selection than any other Asian store in the bay that I've been to.. definitely will come back! read more

All you needs for Asian food products. They also have a dim sum place in the back. Very clean.

Hi this is Greg. They had all the items I needed and I even got a few that I didn't need as always

I come here regularly, mainly for the mushroom varieties and other grocery items. Food isles are clean and store is mid size, not as large as some of the other Asian grocery stores in the area. Also plenty of parking. read more

I went here for the first time on Friday around late noon and everything was going well until It was time to pay. There was 2 cashiers, one tall guy and a girl. The girl was my cashier, and she had an attitude the whole time. When I asked for a bag she just told me to have a good day and stared at me until I left. I had to carry all my stuff individually and it was such a hassle. Whoever that cashier is needs to fix her attitude asap. read more

More off brand products overtime. Prices for produce somewhat cheaper. Cashier: 3/5 (for weekdays ESPECIALLY and weekends (4/5)) read more

Convenient Asian grocery store for fresh produce, fruits and ingredients. It's located in the Arroyo Center, which is a small strip mall, right across from Arroyo High. There's plenty of parking. Pacific Ranch has very organized aisles and the different sections are laid out neatly. When I am unable to make a trip out to Oakland Chinatown for my groceries, I like to come here for specific ingredients to make Asian dishes. Safeway and Lucky's are good alternatives, but it's not the same. I prefer an Asian grocery store because they carry many different products that normal American grocery stores do not. There are several restaurants close by, so it's great to come here after a meal, to stroll around and do some shopping. I would highly recommend a visit to Pacific Ranch for your cooking or baking needs. read more

Their selection of noodles, sauces, spices, and frozen dumplings is top-notch. I especially appreciate the fresh herbs and veggies -- always crisp and well-stocked. They even carry hard-to-find items like Thai basil, fresh tofu read more

Their meat/produce is so much more expensive than Asian markets around Oakland from areas like International/12th St between 5th & 12th aves...0r Oak Chinatown...plus they don't carry more obscure items like Vietnamese black rice/dried shrimp crackers (that you microwave to puff em up) They are good when they have sales though. and are convenient and closer to Berkeley read more

Lots of fresh produce you can't find elsewhere- I didn't purchase any fresh fish, but the selection looked good. A plus is lots of parking, too- read more

I stopped by this place kind of randomly while I was in the area and needed some groceries before going home (to East Oakland), and was so impressed! The produce is super high quality and very affordably priced. All of the staff is very friendly and helpful. If I lived closer I would be shopping here all the time! read more

Summary: We found this place by Yelper and it is an awesome discovery. It is WAY better than 99 Ranch. Outside: Big parking lot on a quiet street. You won't notice it much. The exterior is not fancy at all. (The building is a bit older) Inside: Cleaned and organized. As you explore, you will notice little things that makes this place solid. 1) Variety/Selections: Everything from meat, seafood, veggie to packaged, they have a huge variety. Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Filipino, Korea . I was able to get authentic sauces. 2) Fresh stuff: I like they have fresh rice noodle, Vietnamese fish cake, Asian 'tamale', Elite bakery bread. We were there at 9am and they were still hot! 3) Value: Pretty standard. 4) Service: All the workers are very polite. They care to organize the produce nicely. :) read more

What a very clean store. They have top-tier produce that never seems old. The meat is also pretty great not too pricey. They also have a good variety of beverages as well. If you do not want to go to Lucky's and spend a ton on meat and produce, this is the place to go to and they have every meat and seafood item you can think of. And the staff are very friendly as well. I also like how when three or more people are waiting in line, another cashier always opens up the second lane which is very nice. Very quick checkers that get you out the door! read more

My little ones love it here. We love going to the food market and getting entree plate with diniguan and beef steak. The sinigang is good as well. They also have a version of picadillo with qual eggs that is yummy. They're always really kind and helpful. It's a store so it's noisy and lively. But perfect for all my noisy kids. read more

As a student seeking affordable groceries and a pleasant shopping experience, I made the mistake of stepping foot into Pacific Ranch Supermarket. Let me share my horrific encounter in this place. The store layout was a complete disaster. It felt like a labyrinth designed to confuse and frustrate shoppers. The aisles were overcrowded with products haphazardly strewn about, making it difficult to find what I needed. The lack of organization only added to the already chaotic atmosphere, leaving me feeling nauseated and wasting valuable time. To make matters worse, the staff seemed disinterested and unhelpful. When I approached an employee to get about a particular item, they gave me an indifferent shrug and pointed me in a vague direction. It was as if they couldn't care less about providing any form of assistance or customer service. Moreover, the checkout process was an exercise in patience. The queues were long and moved at a snail's pace, with seemingly no urgency from the cashiers to speed things up. It was frustrating to see a lack of consideration for students who are often on tight schedules and can't afford to waste time waiting in line. In addition, I had an unfortunate encounter that left me feeling hurt and disheartened. As I walked past one of the supermarket employees, a lady made an insensitive comment loud enough for me to hear to one of the other workers: "You want to take her?" Which followed with laughter amongst the cashiers. Although it may have been intended as a joke, it deeply affected me. It's disappointing to experience such inappropriate and disrespectful behavior in a public setting. It's crucial for supermarket staff to understand the impact their words can have on customers and to foster an environment of inclusivity and respect for all. Lastly, the store's selection of student-friendly products was abysmal. Instead of stocking essential items like affordable meal options, stationery, or study supplies, they seemed more focused on extravagant and unnecessary products that only a select few could afford. This supermarket clearly prioritizes profit over the needs of students, leaving us feeling neglected and undervalued. In conclusion, Pacific Ranch Supermarket is a prime example of a store that fails to cater to the needs of students. With exorbitant prices, disorganized layout, unhelpful staff, and a lack of student-friendly products, this supermarket should be avoided at all costs. Save yourself the headache and seek out alternative options that actually appreciate student customers. read more

Awesome Asian grocery store within a residential area. Cooking dinner and forgot that you don't have garlic? Don't fret they have it! Are you making sushi bake and need Tobiko (fish roe)? Yep they got it! Need steaks for that impromptu backyard bbq because someone left a case of IPO in your fridge? They have rib eye! Basically, they have most of what you're looking for. Banana ketchup for Filipino spaghetti? Yup they just restocked! Organized enough where you can find whatever it is you're looking for. Workers are pretty nice too with great service! Oh, this is the only grocery store where I was able to get a great variety of fruits for my centerpiece for NYE. I usually find the rare/difficult to find fruits like guava, cherimoya (guyabano), lanzones, rambutan, to name a few. The only thing they can really improve on: maybe start carrying some shabu shabu/ Korean bbq meat!! Lol! read more

Guy behind seafood counter obviously was having a bad day. Huffing when asked questions and rolling eyes is not top tier customer service. I'll go to the other store in a few cities over. read more

I've been going here for several years now and pleased with the freshness of veggies... selection is good and a good amount of different Asian ethnic food products. read more

Clean and friendly employees and fresh vegetables The market is small but it got all that i need. read more

My go to place when I need to buy authentic Asian products. This store carries an array of ingredients that you cannot find at Safeway or other chain stores. Store is clean and well organized, parking is easy, and staff is friendly. Produce is clean and they have exotic fruits and chilis you cannot find at other stores read more

Was looking for Thai ingredients and this place came up in the Yelp search...first time at this place and its very clean, organized, plenty of parking. without the chaos. Specifically, looking for galanga - Thai version of ginger, shallots, shrimp paste (most places have shrimp sauce), green thai chili peppers and found other yummy items like Lao sausage, frozen vietnamese eggrolls, POG (passionfruit, orange, guava) juice and an aisle full of soup bases for pho (bun bo hue, bo kho, rieu, etc) and dried rice noodles and wraps. Fresh meat/seafood dept....they'll even clean and cook your seafood for you....will have to come back another day for that. This place is a smaller version of the larger chains (no bakery, no deli) but definitely would retun as it doesn't have the crowds and hectic parking lot. read more

This is a nice, clean and well stocked supermarket. They sell a wide selection of asian goods. The produce and fruits are always fresh.

Where has this hidden gem been all this time? We had no idea we had such a great Asian market near us. For someone who cooks a lot of Vietnamese and Thai food, the Island Pacific market near Target on Hesperian wasn't carrying any of the non-Filipino things I needed so a quick Yelp search from my husband revealed another choice: Pacific Ranch. Everything from my favorite brand of Korean spicy ramen to all the ingredients I need to make a delicious bowl of khao soi -- I am so happy Pacific Ranch is in our neighborhood! This is now our go-to spot for all our Asian groceries. read more

This market is great store in San Lorenzo. Staff are friendly and nicely organized this is a great place.

My go to spot that has everything me and fam always need and the best spices all types sea food meats and more.

I've been coming here for a few years but my last visit here has been disappointing. I bought rice noodles and when I came home I realized that there is a bug crawling around inside. I also bought Ube hopia which has mold on them, even though the expiration date was a few days away. I don't think I'll be coming back, unfortunately. read more

Really liked coming to this market. I've been tired of going to places like Ranch 88 that are dirty and really smell. I expect the typical smells from Asian markets but this place market was really pleasant. Clean inside, things are orderly, and people were friendly. Also the parking situation was really mellow. Just wish the produce section was a bit larger but this will be my the Asian market I frequent from here on out. read more

I really really want to like this place. And I did when I was checking out. However, when I got home, a ton of the stuff turned out to have mold in them :( Yakisoba noodles, dumpling wrappers, and even some of the stuff that was from the freezer section. Such a waste of money. read more

I missed this place... love going here... whenever I visit my friend I always swing by before going home.

I love that they have fresh Mexican and Asian products that I use to cook. It is not too far away from my house and they always have good stocked items. read more

A smaller market yet filled with hard to find Asian herbs around here. Their produce is fresh as it gets and I LOVE coming here for everything. The butchers are all sweet, the meat and seafood are fresh! We love getting our flank steak and ox rail for pho here. On top of that, they do have pho noodles delivered a few times a week - making pho cooking a million times easier. Filipino sweets and pastries are also avail. *dont forget to input your number for rewards too! read more

The cashier Leanna (not sure if that is her name because she would not give it to me but it was on the receipt) was horrible service. She would not pack the groceries for my grandmother who is over 90 and pushed her items to the end and helped the next customer. All the cashier wanted was sales. Not sure if I would recommend this place or shop here again. Stay away. read more

As someone who just moved to the bay area from Little Saigon of Westminster, CA, I love this little slice of seemingly authentic Asian grocery. The area felt predominantly Hispanic or white until I found this place which caters to everything I miss from Asian grocery and cuisine. It's a fairly spacious supermarket with always accessible parking. I've never seen its modest lot fill up entirely but there's still plenty of side street parking and another lot across the way. Once you walk in, your eyes are drawn to discover the place either clockwise or counter-clockwise starting with either the meats or produce. From there for a newcomer, exploring the aisles are pretty easy as you'll find everything from spices, seasonings, snacks, canned goods, refrigerated goods, and everything in between. Mostly, I'm happy to find things I don't typically find as easily in normal mainstream supermarkets like pho, Asian branded broth, beef balls, some more exotic instant noodles, and steamed pork. Also, they accept Five Stars Rewards with a limited set of increasing rewards tiers. read more

This place is pretty decent. I like that it's next to one of my favorite Vietnamese places. Also, they will fry any fresh fish that you purchase fresh. I love some fresh fried fish. Mmmm! I don't come here too often considering I have my own great market walking distance. If I am in the area after visiting R & D cafe and I feel like desert, I swing by and get some ice cream or some yummy butter cookies. All the basics for Asian cooking. read more
