This 99 Ranch Market is the smaller one in Irvine but the parking is always crowded. It has enough of the essentials but it doesn't have much of a prepared food selection. The aisles are pretty cramped. It is a good 99 Ranch Market to get your basic essentials but if you need specific products, you will have more luck at Culver 99 Ranch Market. Staff is friendly and courteous. read more

99 Ranch Market - Seafood Markets Near Me - Irvine, California

This has been my neighborhood 99 Ranch go-to for as long as I can remember. Parking is never a really big issue here (just be careful cause the spots are small!), since people are always coming and going in this busy shopping center. I appreciate that there is hot food available for purchase, there are lots of grab and go items throughout the supermarket, and there is an array of Asian fruits that are sometimes hard to find in traditional grocery stores. The staff are helpful (if you need them), and the line moves pretty quickly. If you are a frequent shopper at 99 ranch, be sure to take advantage of their special member deals (and make sure they have your phone number on file!). The grocery store smells like a traditional 99 ranch market, it's clean, the shelves are always well stocked with plenty of items, and let's face it - if you don't find anything that you want to immediately eat at this grocery store, or in the hot food area, there are a bunch of other establishments closeby. You are bound to find something to satisfy your appetite! read more

The smallest of the three local 99 Ranch Marker in the Irvine/AV area. It is packed with lots of Asian products. The selection can be a bit less than the other two Ranch Markets but still convenient enough for a quick pick up of needed items. The plaza does have Tesla superchargers so it is convenient to get groceries while you charge. Would recommend to not shop on the weekends because the parking can be a challenge to find. read more

99 Ranch Market - Seafood Markets Near Me - Irvine, California

This place! What a disservice to customer service. One cashier for twenty plus people in line. I go to the Customer Service desk, where they sell smokes and lottery tickets, and such. I asked if I could purchase a bottle of wine and a pack of smokes, if it would be okay?? (The older manager woman always obliged me, she must have the night off?). The manager on duty tells me I needed to get in line like everyone else. Fair enough. I then asked if I could purchase a pack of cigarettes. I was told to get in line like everyone else. I walk away, the manager then proceeds to ring a fellow up for a pack of smokes and a head of cabbage. Crappy store, crappy employees. read more

Today's shopping experience felt very unprofessional. First, one staff member helped me get the wine, but after a while she said she was handing it over to someone else because she hadn't rung it up yet--just a complete waste of time. Then a younger male staff member checked me out, and when I asked whether there were any vouchers, he said they have never offered vouchers for purchases over 99. Were the vouchers I received before just my imagination?!! Overall, the staff here seem very unprofessional. read more

99 Ranch Market - Seafood Markets Near Me - Irvine, California

This is usually my go to 99 ranch supermarket as it always has consistent Asian food items that I usually look for, as well as some additional things such as a beef jerky and a small bakery. The pricing always seems fair and the associates are friendly enough, although I usually prefer to go through the self pay kiosk area since I usually have less than 10 items. The mango ice cream that's been going viral lately looked like the packaging might've been expired, which made me second-guess it a bit. Not totally sure, but I figured I'd mention it just in case. Other than that, everything else was fine and I'd still say it was a pretty good visit. read more

99 Ranch Market - Not sure if the date on the box indicates manufacture date, but 3/26/2025 definitely passed. Taken 8/12/2025 - Seafood Markets Near Me - Irvine, California

Parking can be a hassle. As for the actual store though, the selection here is great and everything always seems to be in stock. The layout is easy to navigate and it's easy to lose track of time shopping here! The staff could be a tad friendlier but it's nothing bad. They're just not as welcoming and jovial as I expected them to be. Especially during the holidays. During checkout, only one lane was open so there was a line. Thankfully they have enough self-checkouts that I didn't have to wait. Overall I had a pleasant experience here and look forward to visiting again! read more

2/15/25 I smelled this as soon as I walked inside the market (DURIAN!!!!) Now voted my newest, least favorite branch-- it is cramped (people giving me a close shave as they whiz past me), narrow aisles (too many boxes & other merchandise in corners making it more chaotic & cramped), staff (cashier not smiling or greeting me at check out, not even a thank you).... Overall NOT pleasant experience. At least she bagged my purchases though. Parking is plentiful but also smaller stalls. They get 3 stars for making the grade. Basic. read more

This location has hard to navigate narrow aisles and often lacking in inventory, but this not my reasoning for this negative review. The self check out process is atrocious and ridiculous. The scales are too sensitive to the point that if a single onion rolls off the scale the entire transaction is stopped for an attendant to assist. Once the attendant comes, they search through and scrutinize all your items. The attendants also constantly looks over your shoulder up close and do not understand the concept of personal space. This is all to make sure nothing goes unscanned. Adding the the frustration they do not offer bags. You need to complete your transaction, pay, and request a bag from the attendant. The explanation is they do not want to risk people taking a bag with out paying the $0.10 bag fee. Loss prevention is important, but do so with some more tact and dignity. If somebody wants to steal something they can just walk out in plain sight and the store is instructed to let them go, but they rather go out of their way to scrutinize honest customers at the shelf checkout and treat people with suspicion. If you don't trust your customers, open a few more registers and do not use self checkout. This store needs to learn to treat customers with respect and dignity. Stop embarrassing yourself and Asian businesses by presenting yourself as a cheap and lacking social etiquette. read more

This place is always good for snacks and asian foods. I always get a little overwhelmed cuz there's so many choices but I love coming here because there's always something that I would want or something new to try. I go mostly for their snacks but next time I want to get some of their hot foods. read more

I love 99 Ranch Market. It's where I buy my 20 bags of rice, fresh veggies and lots of noodles and sometimes fresh fish. But it's definitely my #1 for fish balls. I've been to a number of their locations, but this one seems to be so tiny compared to the others. The service was great tho. read more

I visited the store on March 11 around 10:15 AM and checked out at register #6. Unfortunately, the cashier's attitude was not very welcoming, and the interaction felt somewhat uncomfortable. I completely understand that everyone can have a tough morning, but customer service is an important part of the shopping experience. I hope this is just an isolated situation and not the usual standard, because it would be disappointing if other customers had a similar experience. read more

this place sets the standard for asian supermarkets in irvine for sure. its pretty good overall, and its been consistent for as long as ive shopped here (over a decade at least). but with all the asian supermarkets that have popped up recently (2 new hmarts and a tokyo central), it feels like 99 ranch is struggling to keep up. this store in particular feels cramped, and the quality of its produce is bordering on inconsistent. still, it has great prices for certain items in comparison to places like zion market or hmart, and the bogo deal at the sushi/hot food station was pretty good. the dragon roll in particular was nice. self-checkout is kind of a nightmare though. theres always a worker stationed there who is probably doing more work than the actual cashiers because of how many ways there are to mess things up with the machines (especially when putting in produce codes, sometimes they just get impatient and punch in the codes themselves before youve even started to). this place desperately needs to stay open though. i dont know what id do if all of the big grocery stores in irvine turn into carbon copies of hmart, as much as i love hmart. read more

One of the worst Self-check out line experience! None of the produce had sku numbers and everything had to be entered manually before weighing. Ugh! How frustrating and inefficient!!! Customers buying products had to wait for the only checker. Poor lady was working overtime. There was also 2 out of the 5 normal cashiers open so even if you wanted to have a checker scan your items, the wait time was just as long! My recommendation is this business place sku cards on produce! Just trying to make things more efficient and happy customers. Thanks. read more

Very disappointed. I went to the bakery to buy cake. There was no one manning the cake section so I asked the Manager who just happened to be standing on the side for help. He sent me to the cashier to pay then came back and picked up the cake Ali'i requested. Got home opened the cake and HOLY STALENESS!!!' How freaking old are the cakes you sell? Don't you have a shelf life or at least put a discount on the value. It was sooooo EMBARRASSING to serve that cake. I wish I can get a refund but I live far away. read more

Poor services from Produce and Hot Deli! No manager on the floor to speak with! Produce dept was lazy not to bring out more chicken bones as I asked because I need a lot more even though I already purchased 5 trays and I am needing 5 more trays. The two men, Asian & Hispanic, looked at each other then they both shook their heads and said No they cannot prepare 5 more chicken bones trays for me. As for the deli counter there is no one there to dispense my arm full of pastries! (There are o trays to use so I had to fumble with them on my arms! Then I was told to go get in line with the others who are paying for the general grocery, which had long wait lines. I did not buy any pastry and now I have to go to another grocery store to finish my grocery list! Oh well no one cares anymore just there for the paychecks! read more

I would give 0 star. I had a terrible experience at this 99 Ranch Market. My family and I live together, share the same household, and both of us are students. We usually use the same store account for the student discount since we study and shop together. This time, my family member forgot to bring their student ID, so I offered to show mine. The cashier said it had to match the same name, which I understood, so I asked if I could create a new account. She refused, saying it would take too long and hold up the line. Then she said if we could show a student webpage, that would also work. When we showed the webpage, she called the front desk supervisor -- another woman -- to verify it. The supervisor came over with a very rude and impatient attitude. While we were quickly pulling up the webpage (it only took about 30 seconds), she snapped at us, saying "You're too slow -- I have several customers waiting for me at the front desk." She basically blamed us for slowing things down, even though it was the store's own unclear policy and poor coordination that caused the delay. After that, she refused to accept the webpage proof and said, "We only accept physical student IDs," which completely contradicted what the cashier just told us. She also questioned our school and said she didn't even recognize any schools other than UC Irvine. This kind of behavior is extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. We weren't upset about the discount -- we were upset about how poorly we were treated. The supervisor's attitude was unacceptable, and the store's inconsistent policy and poor staff management created unnecessary frustration for customers. read more

Decent place overall. The market has a good selection of products and the food is generally okay. Service was acceptable but nothing special, and it felt a bit inconsistent depending on the time and staff. The atmosphere is fine, though it can get crowded and noisy. Not bad, but there's room for improvement. read more

My go-to market to grab my Asian ingredients. Cheap and fresh produce, fresh meats, fresh breads. This place has all my favorite snacks and drinks. read more

I haven't been to this location in years and it really looks like they've made some improvements. Newer appliances, security and a more organized frozen food area and produce area. They had everything I needed and more. One of the few spots in the area for fresh kaffir leaves, lemongrass, galangal, Thai basil, etc. They're fully stocked with a nice variety of prepared food items like bao, lumpia, tofu items, etc. There's also a bakery and hot food area at this location as well. read more

Ventured in one day to check out the selection of foods because I was looking for some different options from what I normally get. I liked looking around. Although it was super busy due to lunar new year and weekend. The shelves are well stocked but hard to find and read things. Loved the large selection of chips! They had interesting flavors like honey, lobster, etc. The cashier checkout system is slow and there were long lines but again that's because it was crowded. I'll be back! read more

Pretty good for Asian grocery shopping. One of many in Irvine. One thing to note is parking is a nightmare here. The store has lots of Asian groceries and produce that you wouldn't be able to find in normal markets like Chinese pears and even durian. They have a wide selection of seafood including lobster and other shellfish and meats ready for hot pot. Their frozen section even has Asian snacks and fish balls. Wide selection of noodles, sauces, and other Asian goodies. They also had items to get for lunar new year like red envelopes and decorations. read more

99 Ranch Market - Seafood Markets Near Me - Irvine, California

Located in a small, older corner strip mall with a host of other mostly Asian shops. Parking is ample, especially during weekday mornings. They have a little bakery with a variety of Asian baked goods along with fried Chinese donuts and sesame balls, there's a cold deli case with Chinese deli type items (bao buns, chive pockets, scallion pancakes, Chinese tamales, etc.) as well as sushi rolls that actually looked pretty fresh. Fresh seafood with fresh fish and shellfish as well as meat counter are in the back. Lots of fresh produce as well. Overall it looked pretty clean and the cashier was pleasant. Prices are good so I go here from time to time when I need Chinese vegetables or want some frozen dumplings or chive pockets to pop in the toaster oven. read more

I went to 99 ranch market and bought the sea snail, it was on sales and I went for it thinking that even if some of them aren't as fresh and still okay. However after I got home and wash them and they have the sticky smell, I used salt to wash them at least 5 times. After I cooked them and they are still very bad, still have the weird smell. When I try to eat them and none of them are okay! I can't even get the "meat" out! Just think twice when u buy their seafood next time read more

99 Ranch Market deli has been good and bad over the years. We shop there and have lunch there on weekends. In recent years the price have been up and up,the food swings better and worse.This year at the Chinese New Year in January,the deli BBQ became notoriously bad, since then it 's getting fron bad to worse. We stopped buying deli food for a while, today we bought some crispy pork , to the worst of out greatest disappointment That the crispy pork is just a piece of pork bell boiled in saltwater. The meat is watery and salty, the skin instead of being crispy, it's like leather having soaked in water, which tasted as bad as bad can be! It's really an insult to Chinese cuisine! With price went up and up, quality went down and down, which makes the business a shceme. I won't buy any food from them anymore! read more

Don't go here, the store is deceptive and not managed well. I have shopped here for over 15 years and will not be returning. I purchased an item that did not have a clear price displayed, it was one of a few dozen items I was purchasing. While reviewing the receipt on the way home I realized they charged 50% ($6 dollars) more than most other stores in Irvine for this common item. After dropping off the rest of the groceries at home I returned to the store about 15 minutes after purchasing with the receipt and attempted to return the unopened overpriced item. The management was very rude and told me it's "illegal" to return (not true I've returned similar items to other stores in California). The manager gave me a bunch of attitude and told me if I don't like it I could leave, then said "Bye!" and walked away. Just go to HMart instead don't bother with this place. read more

We go here from time to time when we need ready made BAO Buns or some other ingredients for whatever dish I am making. I have never had a problem at this market and find everyone to be very helpful and nice. Parking lot is big and plentiful with spaces. They do have self checkout so that's nice. No EV charging stations that I saw but maybe they are there. read more

Heads up! Always double-check your receipts. I've noticed--and heard from many others--that there are often "errors" on them. Strangely, the mistakes are almost always in the store's favor, either overcharging or adding items you didn't even buy. Be alert! read more

I did not realize this was a smaller location compared to the Culver one, but for me, I can usually find everything I need here. This location has made it into my bi-weekly rotation for our essentials of vegetables, meats, seafood and snacks. With the weather getting a little colder, I've been shopping here a lot more often to stock up on napa cabbage, bok choy, a tai, mushrooms and daikon radish for hot pot and stir fry dishes. For meats, I usually grab sliced lamb and whatever beef is on sale during that time like sliced ribeye or short rib. If I need to stock up on bones for soup stock, the meat counter is very straightforward if you know what you need. I often point at the item I want in 1-2 pound denominations and the staff just quietly grabs it for you. For seafood, I like to buy salmon here since it's been de-boned and scaled, which takes out some of the prep work at home. It's always a plus not having to clean up fish scales flying around the kitchen sink, ha. My boyfriend also loves to stock up on snacks too! Those strawberry puffs, wafer cookies and red bean ice cream are a must, but I also enjoy picking out random finds. Recent finds have been crayfish or salted egg yolk flavored chips, hokkaido/matcha lattes, dim sum dishes in the frozen section, caramel pudding and aiyu jelly. I always look forward to finding something new. read more

10 years later... staff are still so rude here !!!! When I was at the check out, when the cashier was busy with me. All the sudden the cashier was shouting at the couple next line, I thought she caught the old couple red handed, but it turned out they knows each other. Then she scan my stuff and kept throwing them at me, even glass jars. In the meantime, she just kept chatting loudly in Cantonese to the couple on the other side of the line, all the other cashier came to that cashier machine and started shouting together. All of the sudden, she asked me " how many items did you get ?" I was confused by her question that came from middle of nowhere and that also doesn't make any sense. Before I react, she ignored me and kept chatting like there is no customers in the store. They looks a bit cleaner inside after the renovation, but many items doesn't have any price on it and many items got wrong price tag. Lots expired items. Entire store smells like rotten seafood. Some products are extremely overpriced and you can get the same brand for cheaper in other Asian grocery stores with better service. The trolleys are sticky and wobbly. See you never ! read more

Shopping after dinner in Irvine, California... I saw the 99 Ranch Market sign across the free, shared parking lot and wanted to check it out. The Honolulu location of this store closed for business a while back and I kind of miss it... Taking a look at the fresh produce, frozen food, refrigerated items, household goods, personal care supplies, live orchid plants, etc. gave me a sense of comfort... like I knew this environment... like hey - I've been here before - almost... We saw Hello Kitty cookies and I got some for my nieces. Niki pointed out the Matcha flavor of White Rabbit candy and shared with me. I liked it! Not too bitter and not too sweet! Next time I'm in Irvine (or Las Vegas), I'll get a bag! read more

This review is for the Walnut Ave store. They carry all of the Asian produce , pantry items, snacks and candy you can desire. The place is small, but I've always found everything I needed. I have one complaint, though, and it's a biggie. The place smells something AWFUL. I don't know if it's the fish or meat department, but it's very noticeable. I've also had a few "hiccups" at their fish department. Several times I bought fish that looked good but, when I unwrapped it at home, it was smelly. No way was I going to get in the car and fight traffic for $10. worth of fish. Another time, I bought lobsters that were on ice instead of in water. (Yes, I should have known better, I'm from Boston and have been steaming lobsters all my adult life.) When I cooked them, it turned out that one was totally black inside. It must have been dead a really long time. (Good thing I got it and not my guests) Everyone laughed that I ate mine so fast-- I didn't eat it, I dumped it and didn't say anything. Since the Walnut Ave store is closer to my house, I go there on my way home after work. On weekends, I go to the Culver store; much larger, seemingly cleaner and not stinky. So I suggest you stay clear of that fish department when you go in. Better yet, head to Culver Ave instead. read more

I am willing to make the 20 minute drive here whenever I need curry. Usually will come here and stockpile all at once. It's definitely more expensive than what you find at Ralph's or Walmart (its 4.19 per package here). But this is one of the few places I know of where I can get EVERY. SINGLE. Flavor of the curry I love, at different brands. I'm very sensitive to the smell of seafood, it makes me want to vomit. So although vaccinated, from now on I'll probably wear a mask. The seafood smell is very prominent here. Cashier this morning was a very nice lady. But I think one of the other coworkers here was constantly watching me as I kept walking through the store to find the curry isle (aisle 5). Hope he didn't think I was trying to steal lol. read more
