    Charged 1 lb per item
    Andrew C.

    I went to the Temple City location in the GW market. Be very careful at this place, they will rip you tf off. I asked for beef jerky and they began stuffing the bag without confirming the amount because I didn't even have a chance to say what I wanted. Then I got distracted because another staff member offered me a sample of pecans. It was good and the price was fair at $25/lb so I opted in to add that on my order. I requested half a pound. I turned away to talk to my wife which was the biggest mistake ever because as they were ringing me up, I see the bag and it looks WAY more than half a pound. I ask about it and she says "Half a bag, okay?" That's different than half a pound and pretended not to speak English anymore. I object and she says she's adding in free samples so it's okay. It all happened too fast, it was very confusing, and she also defaulted to pretend like she wasn't understanding me so I just paid and got tf outta there. I decided to weigh it when I got home and guess what? They even had the gall to give me less than what they charged me for LOL So they essentially peddle more than what you ask for to charge you more and then they don't even give you what they forced on you! So it's a double win for them and a lose-lose for the customer. Absolutely disgusting business practice, I can't believe this place is still in business. I'd give zero stars if I could. I hope they close soon, the place was empty when I was there probably because customers are figuring out these guys are scam artists.

Was looking for the super rare Fanta Shokata, a Eastern Europe Fanta flavor that is Elderflower Lime that's hard to find in the US, but they had it in stock on sale for $3.00. Looked for German Beers and browsed the store looking at the teas and for Pierogies. No German beer so I grabbed some Czech and Polish Lagers for the parents to try. As for the Pierogie front, I would need to go back and double check but they might have ran out of premium flavors and only had Pulmonies left, but even that had interest flavors, like beef and veal. They carry Milka chocolate in several different flavors so I need to come back for a super snack haul with other interesting things to try. They have a nice selection of tinned fish, but I wasn't able to find any shellfish. The store had all sorts of sauces, seasonings, soup bases and ingredients for cooking and baking. They carry a wide variety of meats that looked good as a snack, for a charcuterie board or as a breakfast food item for rice porridge with the tinned fish. All in all, it was a good chance to browse some of the stuff that places like Super King might not carry or that Aldi or Trader Joes doesn't have.

    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.

    My Mom and I came here to peruse around with no intention to actually buy. They have a vast amount…read moreof different dry meat, seafood, and fruit snacks. They are stored in big plastic clear bins. They also sell teas and other miscellaneous items. Price is by the pound depending on item. Some of the items may be $30+ per pound. Keep that in mind. I love their dry squid and pork jerky which are my go-tos. When I used to eat beef, I would get their beef jerky... so good! Anyway, I ended up getting a quarter pound of pork jerky. The lady who helped us was very friendly. However, when she was grabbing the pork jerky, I noticed she grabbed from the lower right corner instead of in the middle of the bin. Afterwards, I wondered if the older batch was at the corner and newer batch was everywhere else LOL. Oh well, I'll have to tell them where to grab the goods from next time. As I was paying, they offered my Mom and I a small cup of tea that tasted like dates. It was delightful. Thank you for the tea. All in all, it was a very short visit. If you know what you want, just tell them what you want and how much (btw, it's not self-service, they will get and bag the items for you), pay, and go. Easy peasy!

    Been hearing a lot of hype about this spot, so of course I had to come check it out. They're known…read morefor making their lap xuong (Vietnamese style) in-house, which is pretty rare these days. That's pretty much all they sell here, but when you specialize in one thing, you better do it well... and they definitely do. I picked up a pack of the pork and chicken lap xuong and it was delicious. You can really taste that they're made fresh. I can honestly say this is probably going to be my new go-to spot whenever I need lap xuong. Whether you're throwing it in fried rice, eating it with sticky rice, or just pan-frying it on its own, it's hard to go wrong with these. If you're not local, they also ship, so you don't have to make the drive. Definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of lap xuong.

I can guarantee that you'll feel the same after you try Quang Tran's pork sausages. Quang Tran is a multi generational establishment. The young man who's the the main person at the store front is the grandson of the original sausage maker. His name is Ngon, I hope I spelled it correctly and he was more than helpful today. He was able to sell me 5 bags of pork sausage when another customer tried to buy everything out. Coming all the way from New York, I was MORE than appreciative of his kindness. Will I return?!? Absolutely .. I do everytime I come out to California. Now that Quang Tran ships, I think I'll get my Vietnamese sausage fix thru the mail ... definitely cheaper than a plane ticket. Wishing Quang Tran continued success!!!

    Yuen Fung Sum Yong Trading - Rows of Pre-packaged Ginseng

    Yuen Fung Sum Yong Trading store is located in the San Gabriel Superstore complex (at the corner of…read moreSan Gabriel and Valley). As you'd suspect, it serves the Chinese-speaking community specializing in Ginseng as well as other "health" items. Ginseng is believed to deliver many benefits as a stimulant, aphrodisiac, or general cure for whatever ails you. Since it only grows in a few places in the world and ... apparently ... has wide variances in quality, Ginseng can range in prices dramatically. Yuen Fung Sum Yong is one of the "cheaper" sellers of Ginseng in the area, but it can still be hundreds of bucks for a small pack of "the good stuff." This store's main offering is Made in America Wisconsin Ginseng; however, wild Ginseng, Bird's Nests, Shark's Fins (allegedly), and other rare Asian medicinal and health foods are available, too. Bring someone who speaks Mandarin to negotiate ... and good luck. There's got to be a price you can both agree is fair. Parking is free for the entire shopping center.

    My doctor recommended me to try American ginseng because I get very tired during the day from my…read moresleep problem. So I stumbled to the store with no knowledge about ginseng. The people there are very friendly and taught me a lot about how to prepare the ginseng. They also sell bird nest and other Chinese herbal supplements in the store. I walked out with a box of AAAAA bird nest for my skin.
