My Filipino fruits are off season but Cindy was great to give us all the info. Will definitely come back to shop

used to love going here for plants and flowers. I recently had a few trips here, and those trips have caused me to change my mind. The staff ate getting meaner and meaner, ruder and ruder, and no customer service. The dark skinned lady used to be my favorite person. Now, she is not. She is so mean and rude. In addition, their prices are not the cheapest. I used to love to buy from here because of their people and the dark skinned lady. Last week is my last visit because I am never coming back. I would rather take my business and money elsewhere. read more

The owner of this place is super rude! Our family walked in to get some fruits for the beach. We inquire about the price of the star apple fruits. We held up a bag we wanted. The owner of the place said "it's heavy, you won't be able to afford it." Super condescending. We ended up buying the bag of star apple fruits because we can buy whatever we want if we want. Will not be back! Go next door! The owner next door is friendly and fruits are super fresh read more

Trai Cay Ngon means delicious fruit. I come here about 3 to 4 times a year for special vietnamese holidays. This weekend was Kitchen God day which is observed one week before Tet 2023 (Vietnamese New Year of the Cat!) If you want to learn more about this day, you can find good articles on the internet. I love the selection of tropical fruits they carry. And during this time of year, they have flowers too. Cherimoya - still green, but really creamy once ripe Jackfruit - they do all the work for you and sell just the yellow fleshy part of the fruit. It is the way to go, for sure! As it is not that easy to remove the flesh. Big huge Pomelo - so good and sweet. Vietnamese bananas - those little stubby ones. usually sold when it is still green and just love it when it ripens. very sweet. Rambutan - those soft prickly pretty reddish fruit Mango - Green. Waiting for it to ripen mandarin - adding some color to my fruit platter Grabbed a couple Chrysanthemums for the Kitchen God too. Parking lot can get a little hectic and chaotic, please be careful. Try a new fruit today! Expand your tastebuds and enjoy! read more

12/30/21. Was on the lookout for atis or atemoya, a family of annona fruits, it is said that it's a cross between a soursop & a cherimoya, also otherwise known as a sweetsop. Sadly none, just my luck! For many Filipinos & many Asians, it's traditionally observed to offer or serve (or give out as gifts) a basket or bowlful of 12 or 13 fruits that are round, symbolic of success &/or prosperity. Mind you, they're supposed to be 12 different kinds or types of fruits & grapes are the most prosperous of all. I was lucky enough to find caimitu or star apple, reminiscent of my dear grandfather, Teofilo, who picked them from his fruit bearing trees & made caimitu ice cream by freezing it. I chose caimitu as an offering to honor my grandfather and his memory. Many reviews were below 3 stars, understandable but I'm giving it a fair shake. The 3 times I've been in, the ladies have been kind to me. The prices are definitely very steep but where else will I find caimitu? I only wish they sold atis too. Unless I find another source to find these types of fresh fruit (emphasis on the "fresh"), I will return when I'm in the mood to walk down memory lane. Now if they had fresh LANZONES.....a ton of Filipinos will drive from near & far. I don't dismiss that you have to stay vigilant nonetheless....truly, buyers beware lol read more

I went in to see if any fruits are fresh to purchase. I saw rambutan look fresh so I purchase a box. The lady was helping me said she will get me a fresh box on the back. Cam home all half of the box are bad. Recommend to.open the box and check before you purchase anything from that place. This is not the first time happen to me. This is not how you do business. Never come back and buy anything from this place again. Not honest. read more

Absolutely terrible customer service!! Took our deposit in advance to prepare a fruit basket but did not even have it ready at the time of pick up. Staff did not even apologize and argued back. They then rushed to make the basket with rotten fruits. Even had the nerve to charge us extra for requesting fresh fruits. A Very Dishonest business (a scam, lua dao). All the negative reviews were correct. STAY AWAY! read more

I was telling my friend about fruits I miss eating as a kid. I haven't had a chance to taste star apple or Chico since I was 14 years old and her eyes brightened up and she told me about this place. So off we drove to Westminster and to this fruit place. If you're specifically looking for Asian fruit then this is it. These are the kind you won't typically find at your local grocery store. There were lots of jackfruit whole and some ready to eat ( thank God, cause if you knew how laborious it is to get your hands into a jackfruit, you'd prefer it ready to eat) and I wasn't about to lug a 30lb + jackfruit home. I was bummed because the star apple was seasonal , the owner said that they come in around March or April and I had missed the chico that sold out last week. It's just one of those things that made me yearn for it more. Atis or cherimoya was also sold but again on a first come basis...so I missed the boat on that one :( Otherwise if I lived closer I would come here frequently. I made off with some jujubes, jackfruit, mangosteen (and a yellow fruit I can't recall the name of). read more

Definitely the best place for exotic Asian fruits for me and I've been coming for many years now. I love their Red dragon fruit, Lychee, Jack fruit, and Durian when in season. They offer box packages for almost all their inventory and small options like in bags as well. Every time I visit from the Bay Area I stop here for my fruit fix. They also have cuts of various fruits for sale on display which I always aim for just to put my craving at ease. read more

The good: This place gets an extra star for carrying special fruits that are difficult to find elsewhere. I'm from NorCal where exotic fruits are slightly harder to come by so I greatly appreciate a location that harbors all of these delicious fruits in one spot. They sell many exotic and tropical fruits here that include mangosteen, durian, longan, jackfruit, bananas, mangos, rambutan and more. I got some longan, jujube and mangosteen here. The store is well organized and most fruit are pre-packaged to be a set weight so there isn't any debate about the weight or cost and so you can't pick through the fruit too much. My mangosteen tasted sweet/tangy but weren't too attractive in appearance. The bad: I wanted to get a Malaysian small durian but it cost $15/pound. This was around the same price it was at the neighboring fruit store. The ABC market nearby had frozen ones for $10/pound and then a different variety that was less yummy for $5/pound. I wish durians weren't so insanely expensive. The parking lot gets crowded and hectic. People crowd around the front area because this is a popular spot for folks to get on the large transportation buses. My mangosteen were rock hard and difficult to break open by hand (the way you normally would). The interesting: They also sell flowers! read more

Fresh and Fruity Jack fruit, Mangosteen, Papayas, you name it, it's here! When you are done looking at the fruits, pick up a dozen roses. This store has all kinds of flowers and fruits. A one stop shop for either. Going through the store, the ladies offer plenty of samples. The prices, however, do not seem much cheaper than the local market. But..what the market doesn't carry, this place has! Any type of fruit is here. If it's not, try the store right next to it. I bet they have it. The two stores combined must be what Eden was like. Plenty of yummy fruits and beautiful flowers. Tray Cay Ngon..Eden in the OC. Another reason the OC is the best place to live! read more

I've been to this store too many times to count, however, I never knew its name... that is, not until KL reviewed it. Now, I can finally review it too! This is the ONLY place I've seen fresh mangosteens (when in season). I'm not sure if they freeze it like they do the durians when they ship them over, but who cares. They have fresh mangosteens!!! The jackfruit is always in abundance and the overwhelming perfumey aromas waft all around enticing you to go in. Tropical fruits of all kinds is available here. They also sell regular every day fruit as well as some Asian vegetables. Fruit prices aren't all that cheap -- depending on what you buy. The jackfruit for sure is not cheap, but if you're craving it, you can't get it any fresher than this place! read more

Disappointed in the customer service of the workers here. I asked for baby sour mangos, they told me it's out of season but now they have regular sour mangos. I bought two to try for 11.50 and it came out sweet. If you don't have it just say you don't have it. Don't lie and recommend other stuff to make a sale. Will not be going here anymore and will be telling all my friends not to come here. read more

Very rude ! Today is 01/22/2024. I went into the store looking for soursop for a friend. The person who greeted me was very rude. She immediately responded no before I can even get my question out. She also proceeded to ingnore me while I was asking about the approximate time of receiving more of the fruit. I have a friend who is fighting cancer and this is one of the few stores that sale the fruit. It was very disheartening and her behavior was very condescending. I really wish I had the option to not give them a star at all ! read more

This is my first post ever on Yelp. I never give anyplace bad reviews but this time I have to say something about this place so that no one be cheated like me this last week. Beware when you buy fruits from"Bà Tů Trái Cây Ngon"( their full name on the sign). Last week I was there buying a bag of mangosteen and the sale person swap my bag for a old and hard like a rock bag of mangosteen. Make sure to open your bags and check your fruits before you pay and leave the store because all the shady sales people could switch your selections for a old, bad fruits. I used to come here every times I come to OC but no more. read more

Bought two bags of mangosteens here. All rottens. "Buy at your own risk" per seller. "It's hard bc it's a tropical fruit". If it's hard as a rock, it's rotten inside. Don't buy. Tip: a good one, you can squeeze it to open the fruit, not even a knife can cut through. read more

BUYER BEWARE 95% of items do not have prices. With the exception of the pickled mangoes, other pickled goods near the register, and some of the flowers. The price is whatever either of the employees decides it to be. How do I know? I understand and speak many languages, and they didn't realize that. In English: Excuse me Maam, how much are these custard apples? Ladies spoke amongst themselves in Vietnamese: "They are starting to turn rotten and black already, charge her 3 or 4" Second lady turns to me, replies in English: They are 4$ for you.... my reply oh okay, thank you. Maam, how much are the lychees? It's 6$ a pound (she didn't know I bought some for a little over 2$ elsewhere) Any item I even begin to look at-one of the ladies begin to bag the item and says YOU BUY? OKAY? It's very good!!!HERE YOU BUY THIS! THE ORANGES 3$ A BAG, VERY SWEET, YOU BUY IT. I politely smile and thank them for their time, put the fruit back that was in my hand, and headed for the door. As I was leaving, in Vietnamese they again, spoke amongst themselves: "Oh, she asks prices about EVERYTHING and doesnt even have money to buy a single thing. " Then chuckles and giggles can be heard, at my expense. Generally retail establishments are required to disclose prices on their goods, not making each customer have to wonder what they will be charged. It's also not nice to talk badly about your customers. I regret stepping foot into this little establishment, I shall not return if ever given a choice. I seriously wonder how they managed to stay in business. read more

This is a great place for fresh exotic fruits! The quality is typically better than most around, and they also prep it well! I usually take my grandma here to buy flowers before visiting Grandpa at the cemetery and the flowers always look freshly picked. The ladies who work here are super efficient, but you might have a hard time if you don't speak Vietnamese here. Prices for flowers aren't too bad, but the fruits are definitely pricier than the grocery stores next door. If it's quality you want though, you can get it here (at a higher cost). read more

I regret that my first Yelp review will be a negative one. Here goes nothing... Last Sunday, my family bought a small tray of jackfruits, 4 honeydews, 1 durian, and a box of lychees. The total amount came out to be $150, which we accepted anyway because we wanted to support a local Vietnamese business. They sold us a small durian for an exorbitant price of $68 and told us it was ready to eat. From one Vietnamese to another, we couldn't believe that they would fool us. I asked if they can open the durian so I can eat it right away but they declined and said it won't be good in the car ride home to the Bay as the air will dry out the flavor, so they advised me to wait until I got home. Lo and behold, once I opened the durian when I got home, it was moldy outside and the flesh inside was hard and inedible. I gave them a call to ask if they can refund me $68 to my card and they told me it's impossible if I can't bring the fruit back to their store. I even told them I'd send pics but they still refused to refund me. The other fruits weren't amazing for its price so I'd give it 3/5 stars if it wasn't for the horrid durian. I hope that others will have a better experience but there are better exotic fruits out there for better prices. read more

You know... they have great offerings (beautiful roses and fresh fruit) and I'm sure my review won't affect if people come here or not, but I just have to say my peace about the workers here. IF YOU ARE RUNNING A BUSINESS, DON'T LAUGH AND MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T SPEAK YOUR LANGUAGE. We came here with the intention of buying Soursop. We saw pictures of it from other Yelpers, so it's a pretty good indication they have it, right? We ask fort it, "No! no!" We show them pictures of it, "No! No!" plus a laugh, then call other ladies, point at us, say something in their language so they can laugh too. No, don't do that. These pictures were taken at YOUR store, so don't go acting like I'm the crazy one. read more

They have a lot of variety of fruits here. It's best if you come here knowing how to pick your fruits. Newbies beware because they will try to sell you rotten fruits if they think you don't know any better. This happened to me twice. The first time they tried to sell me a box of mango all bruised up with wrinkly skin at a "discounted price" - the lady said it looks like that because it's ready to eat. Luckily, I passed up on that one. This second time, i wasn't so smart. I asked for the lady to help me look for a jackfruit that's ready to eat because I assume they're experts. So she brought one out, and my fault for not thoroughly inspecting before she put it in the bag, but this was what happened - see pictures. Ugh... so disappointed and sad with these vendors in little saigon. I'm sure they're not all bad, but it seems most will try to hustle you just to make a quick buck :/ read more

I really can't decide what to rate this place. The fruits are really good, but the women in there can be exhausting to bargain with. JACKFRUIT / MIT It's called MIT in Vietnamese, and I THINK it's called jackfruit in English. It's delicious and tastes the best when my mom gets it from here. MANGOSTEENS Make sure you check ALL of it. They have screwed my friend over once by selling him a sealed box of rotten mangosteens, and I raised hell with them until they gave him back his cash, so I'm particularly mean when I come here. BARGAINING SKILLS My mom comes here and she never lets me walk in with her. She haggles with the women who work here like a pro [she's a Viet woman too!]. I only go when i really want fruit, or when i'm with friends. If my mom is nearby, I send her. =) All the same, grow a thick skin, haggle like crazy, and walk out proud with your well earned fruit. read more

Worst place ever! I wanted to bring fresh durian back from Cali to South Carolina. I bought 4 of them at 17/lb. I was told to wait for it to be ripened, between 2-3 days. The durian were not sweet, and bitter. One of them was raw. If I spent over $340 in durian, I expect it to be good. Would not recommend, they may hike the prices up if you're a tourist. This is what they did to me when I bought the Rambutan, and they said oh there was an increase of price last week. Do not recommend !!!!! read more

I was first introduced to fresh passion fruit scooped into mango juice as a breakfast drink while visiting HCMC, Vietnam in late May. I enjoyed that combination so much, I've been looking for fresh passion fruit ever since returning back to Orange County. It was a futile search for the past month and a half, until tonight . . . Finally I was able to find fresh passion fruite at Trai Cay Ngon. The ladies at the store were very helpful since I am not Vietnamese. The lady behind the counter spoke English and helped me pick out the ripe passion fruit to purchase. I wasn't quite sure if the passion fruit would be any good so I only bought a pound (about 15 fruit) for $5/lb. Should have bought 10 pounds!!! I've been home for an hour and almost done with the passion fruit already. The passion fruits are about half the size as HCMC, but the flavors are excellent. Can't wait until I get a chance to go back. read more

Trai Cay Ngon - Fresh passion fruit. Just beautiful flavor. - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Westminster, California

With a store name that translates to "delicious fruits", i would agree. This is one of the few stores that I know of that stock south eastern fruits. They have jackfruit, rambutan, lychee, dragonfruit, lychee, soursop, cherimoya, persimmons, etc. with fruit stores, remember that fruits are seasonal, and this one is no different. Most fruits seem to be flown in from Asia, so expect some bruised and not as fresh fruit. But if you're craving some cherimoya, something is better than nothing, right? With that said, I would agree with other reviewers that you should be vigilant and careful while purchasing your fruit. Do your research, and trust your instincts. All business dealing with perishables are the same - they want to get rid of old stock to make room for the new. Research the fruit, and apply those tips to selecting good quality ones at the store. Yes the ladies speak mostly vietnamese, but in my experience they aren't badmouthing the customer, they just talk to each other and make random comments lol. Yes the fruit is expensive, but it's kinda expected with the price of importing exotic fruits across the pacific ocean. I think it's worth it. read more

I never wrote Yelp review but unfortunately I have to do it today. I'd give a 0 star if it were an option. My fiance bought me a whole "fresh" durian a couple days ago for a little over $70. It was hard and not even eatable... I'm a biggest fan of durian and I've tried many versions of it (even the prepacked frozen ones in the supermarket)... This.was.the.worst!!! At the end of the day, I understand it's fruit and they have their own "return policy", but pls at least show some business ethic. read more

It's more like a 3.5. They only sell fruit and before I say anything else, be prepared to spend a lot of money. I didn't think I would spend about $95 just on fruit. However they do carry a lot of exotic fruits that other places don't have. The durian that the lady helped us picked was really good but for $56 it was small. We also bought some other things like jackfruit and custard apples---very good! Credit card with $20 min purchase. read more
