So happy that I was finally able to visit this little market!…read more FYI, there's no photos allowed inside (didn't realize until a bit too late, sorry!). There's 1 hour parking in front and coming mid day on a Wednesday, there was no crowd whatsoever. Yes, there's lots of things that you can find cheaper at any other market, but be smart about it, YOU'RE NOT HERE FOR THAT. You're here for the fancy imported stuff that you CANNOT get anywhere else. There were so many interesting Japanese sweets and snacks that I have NOT seen at Tokyo Central, Marukai, Mitsuwa, Seiwa Mart, or Nijiya and that is SAYING A LOT as a weeb who goes to them so, so often. Lots of chips, candies, cookies, etc that I have only seen here. There are LOTS of really fancy, kinda pricey, but super bougie things like $98 rice, $150 (Mother's Day special) crown Japanese melons, wagyu steak cuts, etc. You'd be hard pressed to find some of these things elsewhere without paying the import shipping prices yourself. Some highlights of what I got were: Sakura Matcha Pocky (entire pack of them, much lighter in flavor and slightly sweeter than their regular matcha flavor), Disney lollipops (only 79 cents for these, super cute packaging and nice flavors. PERFECT for my friends who work at Disney and can get almost everything else Disney that isn't from overseas), and spicy hot chips and spicy curry chips (I ate like 3 pieces of these and my dad inhaled the rest of it lol). For produce, I got the Golden Fuji Apples (around $8+), lightly sweet, great color, and very crisp, a $12 cantaloupe like melon (a worker there told me to leave it at room temp for 2-3 more days so it's the best for eating, very sweet, and less seeds & more fruit), and a pack of large Driscoll strawberries (very, very sweet and only slightly tart, great color). There definitely was a language barrier between me and the cashier, but she was super nice, friendly, and helpful. I also got some freebie snacks to try out! Thank you ! Definitely worth stopping by to check out or if you want to splurge on some of the high quality stuff. I'm gonna come back again and see if I can just buy those boxes of Disney lollipops lol...

0!!! This was one of the most disgusting and disturbing experiences I have ever had with a…read morerestaurant. The food appeared contaminated and unsafe, and after eating it, there were serious concerns about food poisoning. No family, especially one with children at home, should ever have to go through something like this. The sanitation conditions seemed horrifying. There were signs of insects and filth, and it felt as if unsanitary conditions existed in every corner of the business. A restaurant that handles food this way should not be allowed to continue operating without a full health inspection. What made this even worse was the staff's attitude. Instead of taking responsibility, they responded with hostility and intimidation. Most shocking of all, there were threats involving immigration status, including statements about cooperating with ICE and having customers deported. That kind of behavior is outrageous, abusive, and completely unacceptable. No business should ever try to silence or intimidate customers this way. This is not just bad service. This is a serious public health and safety concern. I strongly urge the health department and relevant authorities to investigate this business immediately. People deserve to know the truth before more customers, especially children, get sick.

First time in and I am a fan! It's a market with a deli inside. You take a number for the deli and…read moretheir menu is insane with a bunch of options!! Definitely hard to choose but we settled with Angry Joe and Grandma Gerry. While waiting for our sandwiches to be made, we walked around the market and picked up hot crushed peppers and peanut butter homemade cookies!! Everything tasted delicious and super fresh and service is awesome! You're taken care of asap and the wait is not long for either the deli or the checkout!! Will definitely visit again to try more sandwiches!!

Visitation Rights: Been to this place couple of times…read more Background On Last Visit: Decided to get a quick lunch before heading off to Knotts Berry Farm over the weekend. Credit Cards: They're accepted. Restrooms: There's no restrooms available. Location/Parking: Located next to Denny's. Parking can be found along Huntington Dr. or you can park in the rear. Ambiance/Decor: It's basically an Italian grocery store will with a deli section. Order Of Operations: 1) Get a ticket 2) Wait for your number to be called 3) State your wants and needs, 4) Receive your wants and needs, and head to the register to pay for your stuff. 5) Exit shop and either go home or eat at their communal tables located in the back of the shop in the parking lot. Service: Service is pretty good. They're friendly and informative about their shop. Food comes out at a decent time. Sandwich Of Choice: So far I'v had the Grandpa Joe sandwich, which consists of capocollo, mortadelia, dry salame, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, sliced pepperoncini and oil dressing. Sandwich is quite quite excellent. The protein and other ingredients tastes fresh. Just a reminder that the cured meats and cheese can be a little salty. Claro's For Thought: I'll definitely come back to try more sandwiches and desserts.

If you're looking for Asian snacks or Asian-flavored things, definitely come by to check this place out!

It's located…read moreinside an Indian grocery store, so going in, we didn't have the highest expectations but wow, were we wrong. Parking was easy, and once we sat down, everything just kept getting better. The menu is surprisingly extensive with so many authentic options beyond your typical Indian restaurant staples. The food was incredible packed with flavor, fresh, and clearly made with care. What really stood out though was the service. They were so attentive and kept coming by to check in and make sure we were enjoying everything, which made the whole experience feel very welcoming. We definitely over-ordered, but no regrets at all. I'm usually not big on leftovers, but this was so good that I had it again the next day and somehow it tasted just as amazing, if not better. This place completely exceeded expectations. If you're even slightly into Indian food, this is a must-try. And we can't wait to be back again when we are in the area!

They have a small market section where you can grab snacks, sauces, and pantry items, and then a hot food area where they serve ready to eat dishes. I got some pancit, longganisa, and lechon. The pancit was solid, the longganisa was juicy and had that sweet flavor, and the lechon was really good. Moist with super crispy skin. Definitely get the sauce with it, it helps cut through the richness. Also grabbed a turon to finish and it was delicious. Left super full and ready to knock out after. Solid spot if you're in the area and craving Filipino food.

Chaaste Family Market is located at 296 Allen Avenue #3 Pasadena California 91106. It is an…read moreauthentic Filipino family Market. This is a small Market that has a little bit of everything that you're looking for from Southeast Asia. It's like a 7-Eleven, Filipino style. It's fun to look at the various items available here. You will always end up with more than just what you were looking for. I enjoy the cracker nuts, dried mangoes, and specialty dried items. Their selection of items is always changing so I like to look at what's new and on display. I will sometimes ask the front counter what just came in. The Fresh Deli, located up a small incline to the left as you enter the market, is spectacular. The flavor of the food permeates the entrance to the market. They have an incredible selection of fresh made food. It is difficult to make a decision between the different items. I asked for some help from the gentleman behind the counter. I've dealt with Christian, Gabriel and Abraham and all three are knowledgeable and helpful. He was able to explain how some of the food was prepared and the special attention that was given to each individual item. I wanted to limit myself to two items. I decided on the special marinated Beef Caldereta and the Lechon Kawali. On another trip I decided to try the Pork Tochino and the Barbecue Chicken Skewers. I can't tell you how happy I am with the flavors of the food from the deli. Everything was done to perfection. The Chicken skewers were tender and moist with a great barbecue flavor. The Toccino had a nice marinade flavor and was not too sweet. The Lechon was tender and had enough fat to give it a great flavor and texture. I have to admit the Caldereta was my favorite. Great taste, texture, and just the right spices to give it a little kick. The rice and noodles were a perfect accompaniment. All the sauces I was given added to the flavor of all the dishes. At the cash register at the front counter I paid for my items and asked about other items coming in in the near future. I found out that they are not always sure what's going to become available but always looking for something that will make their customers happy. This is truly a family establishment. I found out that everybody there is related. They definitely give exceptional service and quality merchandise, and delicious food. I look forward to coming back and trying many other items both in their market area as well as the Deli.

It comes with of course choices of stir fry cabbage, etc. Gosh, total shenanigan food...like what I would have done on college with Chinese leftovers or something. Love that! - I've yet to try it but I intend to another time. It's fast food, not high quality but cheap and filling looking. We actually love Mexican burrito/taco shop, La Azteca, due to their fresh tortillas...reminds me of the crepe like tortilla used in Taiwanese breakfast crepe/egg dish? I wonder if this 99 Ranch's burrito is similar. Red Bean/or Creme Cakes $1.50 each cake, or $6 for 5 cakes. - The red bean/or creme cakes looked okay but due to nostalgia and the SO loving your stuff, we bought some to go. It looked bready with not enough crispy texture and not enough fillings. I don't know any other store that make these anymore except a shop in Little Tokyo LA....those are good. I don't know enough about this 99 ranch to judge among other ones. I only came in to grab some AFC organic firm tofu, Chinese root beer soda and looked for herbal items.
