Yes, this is the only decent Asian grocery option in North County. No, it is not worth it…read more North County is severely lacking in the diversity of their gastronomy scene and their grocery stores reflect that. You'd have to drive either to Irvine or Mira Mesa for Asian markets. 88 Ranch (not to be confused with 99 Ranch) is definitely your most viable option here. It's a mid-size store and the selection is decent. All the usual produce, snacks, and such are available here. The kicker is the price. Everything is so expensive! I'd definitely recommend only stopping by if you're in a pinch with no other options.

The store is always clean and organized but there is a definite odor from the meat and fish. The service at the fish counter is fine. They will do whatever you want with your fish,etc. The prepackaged veggies are good for hot pot and I don't mind paying more since they are prepped

We had only used about two cups of rice, yet when we attempted to return the bag, the store refused to accept it, even though the issue was clearly a product defect. I strongly believe in supporting local businesses, but that support depends on fair and responsible practices. Unfortunately, this experience was both frustrating and disappointing. I hope the store takes this feedback seriously and improves its quality control and customer service policies moving forward. So glad Miramar cash and carry is opening in Vista!!!

Very clean and everything pretty organized but I found it to me more expensive than other Indian stores o am used to. I guess is smaller and they have to charge more. The price for Nescafé is outrageous. I got several south Indian snacks that I love since I discovered them during my Bay Area life and could find them here. I also got mango pickle. However, as a new customer at a small business I was expecting to be greeted or asked if I found everything I was looking for. I think it is a great add to this revamping area in Rancho Bernardo.

I decided to drive here since it was close to my parents home and that's where I was going to cook. Otherwise, I would have to backtrack if I choose to shop at a larger Asian store. I immediately asked for help from the employee standing at the register. She walked me to the refrigerated area were they carried some veggies and after her going thru the bags she was able to locate a bag of Chayote (vegetable). And of course I had to purchase a mango for my granddaughter who is a big mango fan! The store is much more spacious from my last review. Still organized and well stocked. They also transfer money to PI if you're in need for that. I'm not sure what the fee is to do that anymore. I love that the fact they are only 5 blocks from my parents home. Very convenient!

All so very delicious! My own Michigan Polish/Maliszewski family (I am fourth generation, back in Lincoln Park, and still cook Polish for my family when I visit there) did not garnish savory farmer's cheese pierogis with caramelized onions and scallions dipped in garlic-sour cream sauce or ever add fresh dill to the filling --but it is a delicious touch! ) In Michigan, we boiled them slightly in salted water till they floated to the top, drained the water off, then lightly browned them in butter and served them alongside a dollop of cold sour cream. I am very impressed at the quality of the food here, the lightness of the dumpling dough, and definitely had a delicious dinner in my car, a first for me in the 36 years I've lived in CA. (I brought my polka-dancing shoes along as well, but no band was playing in the parking lot outside!- does anyone know of a place for polka dancers like me near San Diego?). Rita Maliszewska-Farkas

I go here often I love the food but today I asked my boyfriend to ask for extra salsa and limes for me and the guy said "pinche wedo" before only handing him limes. So not only did he insult us but he didn't even do what was asked. On top of that when I opened my plate I didn't even have a green salsa anyway. There's a lot I want to say but most of all he was disrespectful and rude to customers who love and support the business. Disgusting behavior I genuinely hope he has a bad day and I'll be sure to always ask him for extra salsa when I see him read more
