    168 Market has been in Alhambra for many many years. I still remember as a young child coming here with my parents. That's over 40+ years ago. Yep, I am an old adult now LOL. Whenever I see this 168 Market, I would always say, "What humongous parking lot it has!". Yes, it's huge! You see more of the parking lot than the building itself. Of course, it's shared with the other businesses around it. It's just like any other supermarkets with its fresh produce, good quality meats, variety of deli food items, and misc sections. I didn't do any shopping during my recent visit. But got a chance to walk around it perimeters. It has a unique exterior almost like an old western style saloon look. Funny, there is also a CVS Pharmacy in the same shopping center which I find slightly out of place IMHO. Anyway, it was nice to reminisce the good old times.

    First time trying fucking delicious can't even describe the taste It was very creamy you just have to try it.

    Only been here once so that's why I only put 3 stars in always fascinated/ interested in trying new things (food) etc.. as soon as I walked in they had fresh rotisserie duck just hanging by the neck I thought it was cool never seen that before there food was top notch 10/10 they had the biggest jackfruit I've ever seen in my life what brought me to the store was ice cream I provided a picture! The ambiance was giving very much welcoming even the lady at the cashier was nice and understanding we accidentally dropped our ice cream box and it opened and she told us to go replace it but we didn't because nothing was wrong with it, but that was very nice of her

    Steamed bun, vege/ mushroom

    8/14/29025 look at the picture. Do you see mushroom? A very little mushroom If you open thats the way you see some mushroom some are hard to chew. They are selling today.

    This place was crowded on a late Saturday afternoon. I enjoy exploring at this store. They have three aisles devoted to candy and snacks. And also a big bin section at the far right near the dishes and household products, there you'll find more boxed cookies and snacks. I always find my ginger chews here...straight up ginger, also ginger with mango, and ginger with pineapple ...the chews I think are helpful for motion sickness nausea, but it's a candy!! I also discovered they have a wide selection of hot pot meats. I didn't buy any but they were all in one place in an aisle frig...lamb, ribeye, pork belly...also a good variety of tofu.. at reasonable price unlike at American grocery stores. I caution about the meat products...mom bought a chicken to make a soy sauce chicken, but when she unwrapped it, it was spoiled. She'll take it back, but don't know yet if they will reimburse her. They have a store card, and it gives good discounts in general...and a few times I've been here, there gave been giveaways for cardholders, so I've gotten free items at the register, but not today. I really like the bin nut and tea kiosk located as you enter the store. They have good service, they give samples, I like getting my dried plum treats here. it's about $14 for a half pound, worth it for the quality...also the delicious baked candied pecans, super yummy. I usually stop by there on the way out the store. Also before. Leaving I like to check out the bakery and deli...as a cardholder, you get a deli/bakery discount but you have to mention your store membership.

    Hot deli ready to eat are

    Could only speak on the hot deli as I did not get any groceries from the market. Most delicious and juicy shrimp balls ever. Ate all 4 pieces in the car because I was starving. I also ordered the crispy pork, and kung pao chicken, which was essentially fried pop corn chicken. Both were very crispy but average flavor-wise. If I'm in the area again, will stop by for shrimp balls. Very nice and friendly cashier. Hot deli and fresh bakery in same area by left entrance

    Sriracha

    Sometimes I come here if I can't find something at 99 Ranch. Their prices are generally cheaper. There is a coffee grinder here! Go to customer service and someone will do it for you. There is plentyyyyy of parking. I have never seen it full.

    I can't give 0 star Today I feel disappointed I always spend alots of money every time I went shopping there .. today I bought 6 lobster (alive ) but look at this one they mix for me so bad .. cheat on customers who support ur business it not right !

    Jackfruit
    Roni V.

    Nice variety of fresh produce. Seafood section is not super smelly like other markets. The Bakery section has its own checkout and offers a good selection of fast pre-packaged ready to eat foods and pastries. The Restrooms are easy to find (next to seafood section) And there's always plenty of parking.

    Ramen sample
    Kit K.

    Today was my first visit and I was really surprised at the selection. They had a ton of seafood, most of it live or out in the open on ice for selection. I did not come in here searching for anything in specific, but I walked out with a bunch of stuff. The ramen selection is massive and well-price in my opinion. They also had lots of food samples. I tried some ramen and some dumplings, I ended up waking away with a package for each! The sample people were also just really sweet and inviting. They showed us different options and tips on how to cook the food. I also tried some egg potato chips and shrimp chips, both very good! They also offered different Kit-Kat flavors such as green tea and strawberry. Definitely check this place out if you're around.

    1.99 for one can.  But they sold in packs of 4.  They should put $8 for the pack.
    a t.

    Most people shop here for convenience. It's the neighborhood market. However, if you are not from around here, be careful as this market sneaky and unethical. They sell really old things and repackage old things to make it look new. Also their displays and pricing are tricky! Check out the picture below: the cans of butane were all packaged together and not displayed as single cans but priced at $1.99 a can. A not so saavy shopper would have to pay $8.00 for Each pack for cans. --- so this is one example of their sneaky pricing methods to gouge you.

    Exotic Rice Cakes
    The S.

    Went here for the exotic cultural snacks ended up picking up a few extra things . There's a wide selections of meats, seafood, and drinks that you cant normally get in a supermarket, lots of yummy asian foods!

I also got some lychee, and they said it was the juiciest ones they've had in the states! The store is kind of bare, but there are specialty candy to fill the space as well.

Red dragon fruits. Organic apples. Persimmons. Korean Muscat grapes. Kyoho grapes. All absolutely gorgeous! The price is not your typical Vons or Ralph's prices, as it should not be. If you're a fruit connosiuer, this is the place for you. If you trying to get a cheap deal for meh fruit, this isn't for you. They also have blue eggs and black truffle moon cake. I am so excited for this place and would love to come back. The worker is super friendly and explained everything to me. She let us try some samples of fruits and was overall so kind and sweet. I 100% recommend this place. Invest in your own health and stop buying fast food.
