Their customer service is also great and accommodating. I always receive quick replies when I needed to make a change. One year she even created a custom gift basket at our request without much direction and it was beyond our expectations!! Highly recommend if you want some of the best pierogi and sauerkraut. And that garlic sauce is magic!

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

They had one small table with chairs if you wanted to dine in.

Tuesday, June 9, around 7:34 PM, we left Zion Market after paying for our purchases and were…read moreshocked when a security guard ran after us, accusing us of leaving the store with a half-gallon of milk that we had in fact just purchased. The guard had seen us enter the store and go through checkout. We also had donuts we had purchased earlier from a bakery, and because we did not have a bag, he apparently assumed we had stolen something. Being publicly confronted and treated like thieves was humiliating and upsetting. The entire experience left us feeling singled out and profiled. Customers should be treated with respect and not subjected to accusations without evidence. This was an extremely unpleasant experience, and as a result, we will not be returning to Zion Market.I attempted to show my receipt to this security guard he refused to look at it and worst of all never apologize for after accusing us of taking something without paying. i'll tell you what's even worse is that the milk for half a gallon of organic milk was 899/ three dollars more than the other grocery stores this place is out of control. what happens when you assume?

The store was a lot larger inside than it looked from Valley Parkway. They had a lot more items than I had expected. The display was well organized by the kind of items, not by cuisine or culture. Overall it was a clean and pleasant place to shop. For those who regularly go to the Asian grocery stores in the Convoy area, this is not a store to replace them, but it serves the purpose as a neighborhood Asian store that carries enough basic items in a pinch. For that purpose, in Escondido and North county inland in general, this is a great store. You have to visit this store and see what they have that you may be able to count on in a pinch without going down to Convoy. The selection may be less compared to Convoy, but the price seems to be compatible. For those who may not be cooking Asian food, this store has ready to eat goodies like Asian sweets, snacks and ice creams. The produce was fresh. I was surprised to find some Asian culture specific veggies and fruits. People were helpful in finding the items I was looking for. Overall I love the store. Definitely going back!

They have dried seafood (such as scallop or abalone), mushroom, etc. Want sodas or other beverages you find nostalgic from Hong Kong, mainland China or Taiwan? Want some fun wholeleaf teas to brew home? They got you covered! They're in a low key hidden warehouse just half a block west of Convoy. Hours a bit an odd as they aren't always open throughout the week but weekends are safe. You can pop in on anytime after 10am on weekends as that's what I noticed when they are actually open to the public. Pop in, explore and shop away.
