Located in the bustling main street of Alhambra, I've unfortunately missed the chance to go here…read moresince until recently, so I'm glad I was able to catch them when they were open. I could have sworn that they used to have more limited hours, but either way, it's a solid European market. Aside from being a market, I think they also do shipping services to Europe too if you have friends or family there. Sizeable market with lots of snacks, sweets, dried goods, some ice cream, frozen food, drinks, alcohol, cooking and baking goods, and much more. You can easily spend a good amount of time perusing the wide variety of food that they have here. Great place to get tinned fish, chocolates, or crackers and cookies or candies if you're trying to find a quick gift. My boyfriend got some alcohol and some canned goods here. I got some caramel vanilla ice cream. Reminded me of the drumstick ice cream, but creamier and less "heavy" tasting if that makes sense. A juxtaposition, I'm sure. Shop had customers come in and out the entire time, but it was never super busy. Worker was on the phone I think with other customers, but was friendly either way. Ambiance was casual, a bit aged, not super fancy, but does the job.

What a wonderful find on Main Street! The variety of products available is delightfully surprising…read more Truffle sauces, cheeses, sausages of all sorts, and sweet treats. They are priced competitively - many of the items are actually more expensive on Amazon. You'll lose yourself in the aisles inspecting everything. The temptation to buy everything will be unbearable. The proprietor is super nice too.

This is the Asian restaurant Costco. You can find a lot of Asian grocery items such as rice,…read morespices, condiments, seafood, meats, vegetables, cooking equipment, dishes and even restaurant supplies such as menu covers, receipts, pens, etc. For example, if you love boba and you want to make it at home yourself, you can get all the fixings here. If you meal prep and you need meal prep containers and are spending more than $1/container, get it here. If you have a big family and you want to buy your items in bulk, come here. It's more like a warehouse so don't expect a Crate & Barrel environment. Some might judge but trust me, it's the same stuff you'll find at other stores but will cost you 2-10x more. Anyway, bottom line is if you don't mind a little dust and want to save money, make a trip here and make sure you have space in your trunk so you can make your trip worthwhile. Don't come here just for a bag of straws. You might as well go to Pavillions. But yes, I'll come back when I need a refill on supplies.

Haven't been here in a really long time. So glad I did!…read more They literally have everything you need - from different rice, noodles and condiments from different countries, frozen meat, frozen seafood, vegetables like bok choy, Chinese eggplant, green beans, morning glory, enoki mushrooms, etc. (Basically, all types of vegetables used for Asian cooking- in BULK.) They even have containers for meal prep- restaurant to go containers, toiletries, etc. All the boba drink necessities you need to make at home or for parties. (Did it for my daughter's birthday - all her friends loved it.) Prices are decent, especially for what you get. Such a fun place to explore if you've never been - and love stocking up with Asian condiments and seasonings- like I did! 9 out of 10 for me, enjoy!

Good variety of everything. Prices are decent. Love the environment and everyone is friendly.read more

Wow!!! Recently came here because my friends took me and I was super happy to finally shop here!!!…read moreThis is apparently the largest Japanese market in Gardena (and all of California). It's a very big store that somehow doesn't look as big from the outside, but there are so many things to highlight from here. We were in a city nearby but decided to stop by here because my friends wanted to buy some ingredients. This store was a delight for me as it was so big!!! My favorite section was the many Japanese merchandise of clothes, plushes, and desserts!!! It was super tempting to not buy something haha and I ended up grabbing the box of iconic mango ice cream popsicles!!! It was super yummy and was to my full liking. We ate it straight from the box because we didn't want it to melt in the car ride home. It was super refreshing and delicious. Other highlights was the hot foods bar and lots of Japanese beauty products.

They have a lot of premade food options. Some are decently priced and some are on the pricier side…read more If you go at 7pm or latter they do mark down the sushi and other premade food by 20% off. The thing that's good about going to Tokyo central for premade sushi is that they make all their sushi fresh daily and what's not sold is marked down and got rid of before next day compared to other markets where they sell their sushi that's like 2-4 days old. They went viral for awhile for having a hot food bar, which looked like a buffet but in reality you grab what you want but it's $15.99 a pound. The pound adds up really quick and you end with paying like $30. The food isn't that great in the hot food bar in my option so I'd skip it. The market itself is very pricey it's not a cheap market. So if your planning on buying grocery your gonna pay high prices. I'd go here for a quick sushi roll or some mochi they sell a bag from Japan for $3.99 with red bean that's pretty good. One of my favorite food item is the umami chicken karage with rice that's pre packaged and if you can snag it while it's still hot that great. Its usually on a separate table on in the refrigerated section, It's the one with some teriyaki sauce over it, not the regular one. As you exit you can grab utensils, napkins, wasabi. ginger, soy sauce. Parking is a hit and miss, it's a popular market if you go there at lunch time it's packed or weekends. Personally I drop by to get a quick bite, sushi roll or chicken karage . They do have a food court that has a Japanese bakery, takoyaki , a katsu place. Upstairs they have a sushi bar which is unique I havnt tried it but seems a bit pricey but looks like quality. Looking for something Japanese in food wise, this would be one of the places to go to look for it. I don't know why it seems like every Asian market I've been to is so cramped and hardly any space when trying to get around with a cart. It's the same here.t

This is a great grocery store if you are looking for Armenian or other international products. It's…read morefairly small but somehow has a great selection. I would even say one of the best selections I have seen of Armenian products, even compared to stores that are several times its size. Prices are also completely normal and everyone in the store seemed nice. One of my favorite grocery stores in the area. They do not have produce but there is a separate produce store next door.

Glendale, CA We…read moreenjoy visiting this little market for finding unique items you won't find at your typical grocery store. Most items are specialty items, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern or Eastern European. They carry imported chocolates, nuts a huge section of preserves. They have freshly roasted coffee that smells amazing we've never bought it as of yet. Their bread selection is quite nice with all local bakeries making dark Rye bread and other Middle Eastern style breads. The yogurt selection is varied and lovely, they even carry glass jars of Strauss Bulgarian style yogurt and a wide selection of labneh. Fresh feta in deli section also is great as well as unique Middle Eastern and Eastern European meats. We also purchase imported sparkling water, they have a nice refrigerated cooler near the registers, there are several brands we have come to like. From what I remember, there is no produce here, mostly dry, shelf stable and refrigerated goods.

There is a Filipino/Asian food to go for orders inside and has an amazing pancit guisado!! (pan fried thin rice noodle- it was still piping hot when we got home) My wife and I had it with a couple of sticks of pork barbecue on the side and we liked it a lot- it was tender and flavorful.. Oh, and the prices are a couple dollars less in some items compared to other local stores. We see ourselves coming back here again.

For years now, this has been my go-to spot for hot pot meats and supplies; I don't bother going…read moreanywhere else anymore. Miao Yun isn't one of those flashy modern markets, it's the kind of place people recommend because the quality is consistently amazing and the owner genuinely cares. & the owner is the sweetest uncle ever! He's attentive, warm, remembers preferences, gives great recommendations, and somehow always steers me toward something good. I usually ask for fattier cuts of meat and he NEVER misses. The quality of the sliced meats here is honestly better and fresher than what I've gotten from a lot of larger Asian markets in SGV, and the pricing is better too. This is basically my one-stop shop for hot pot night. Frozen sliced meats, fish balls, condiments & sauces, noodles, etc... the store has pretty much everything you need. The selection is great and it's easy to walk out with your entire spread planned. Also worth mentioning: plenty of parking in the outdoor lot, which makes stocking up way less stressful. What keeps me coming back though isn't just the quality or pricing - it's the service. In an area with endless food options, it's rare to find a place that still feels this personal. You can tell the owner truly cares that you leave happy. One of my favorite hidden gems in SGV and a place I'll keep coming back to forever

The selection of Japanese products is huge -- snacks, drinks, sauces, frozen foods, desserts, instant ramen, and a lot of things that are difficult to find in normal grocery stores. Everything looked clean, organized, and well stocked when I went. I also liked that the store didn't feel overwhelming despite having so many options. I ended up leaving with way more snacks than I planned to buy, which probably says enough by itself. Prices were pretty reasonable for imported products too. Definitely one of the best places in LA if you enjoy Japanese food or just want to try something different
