The discovery of this place was because of dining at Sanamluang next door years ago. Mom went in…read moreand found a a specific meat product not available at our local supermarket. And she made something amazingly delicious out of it! Fast forward a few years later, we were blocks away when I reminded her about this place. She asked if we can make a stop so she can make that same dish again. (She mentioned Hubbers might have made a request for it.) I was curious enough to go in this time. I expected it to be crowded because Sanamluang is incredibly popular. We were lucky to find the only open parking spot which happened to be right up front. This place is deceiving! Looks like a no nonsense place looking from the outside but it's pretty big once you get inside! They even have a seafood and meat section at the back. They'll also clean and fry in-store purchase fish. I did notice that most of their products are pricier compared to other Asian markets. I didn't have the need for any, so I came out empty handed. But Mom got the cut of meat she needed to make us dinner this week! Okay first stop (for me.) Being far from home, not sure when I'd come back... if the need comes up and I happen to be around, maybe...?

Glendale, CA We…read moreenjoy visiting this little market for finding unique items you won't find at your typical grocery store. Most items are specialty items, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern or Eastern European. They carry imported chocolates, nuts a huge section of preserves. They have freshly roasted coffee that smells amazing we've never bought it as of yet. Their bread selection is quite nice with all local bakeries making dark Rye bread and other Middle Eastern style breads. The yogurt selection is varied and lovely, they even carry glass jars of Strauss Bulgarian style yogurt and a wide selection of labneh. Fresh feta in deli section also is great as well as unique Middle Eastern and Eastern European meats. We also purchase imported sparkling water, they have a nice refrigerated cooler near the registers, there are several brands we have come to like. From what I remember, there is no produce here, mostly dry, shelf stable and refrigerated goods.

If you meal prep and you need meal prep containers and are spending more than $1/container, get it here. If you have a big family and you want to buy your items in bulk, come here. It's more like a warehouse so don't expect a Crate & Barrel environment. Some might judge but trust me, it's the same stuff you'll find at other stores but will cost you 2-10x more. Anyway, bottom line is if you don't mind a little dust and want to save money, make a trip here and make sure you have space in your trunk so you can make your trip worthwhile. Don't come here just for a bag of straws. You might as well go to Pavillions. But yes, I'll come back when I need a refill on supplies.

So glad I did!…read more They literally have everything you need - from different rice, noodles and condiments from different countries, frozen meat, frozen seafood, vegetables like bok choy, Chinese eggplant, green beans, morning glory, enoki mushrooms, etc. (Basically, all types of vegetables used for Asian cooking- in BULK.) They even have containers for meal prep- restaurant to go containers, toiletries, etc. All the boba drink necessities you need to make at home or for parties. (Did it for my daughter's birthday - all her friends loved it.) Prices are decent, especially for what you get. Such a fun place to explore if you've never been - and love stocking up with Asian condiments and seasonings- like I did! 9 out of 10 for me, enjoy!

This morning, I went to the market early and was looking for a specific cut of meat. I noticed a…read moreshort, older Korean man with gray hair standing by the meat section, so I asked him about the pork cut I wanted. I felt a wave of fear as if he might hit me. He told me they don't sell that cut here and suggested another one instead. I was considering buying the cut he mentioned, so I asked if the two cuts tasted very different. Then he trembled his lips and angrily said, "I told you, we don't have that here! Don't talk about things we don't sell!" His eyes were filled with anger. I can't tell if he has anger management issues or feels inadequate, but if he's going to treat customers like that, he should just stay inside and cut meat! His glaring eyes completely ruined my morning.I really hope they provide better training for their staff. Just because he's older, does he think he can treat customers poorly? Is this the only Korean Market in LA?

If you know you know. But here I am giving it 5 stars because they deserve it and I'd feel wrong not showing love to a spot that's been so consistent for me. Everything here is solid but the real pro tip is the fruit. I'm talking big, fresh, beautiful fruit that puts every other grocery store and market to shame. The quality is unmatched. Every single time I go the fruit looks like it was hand picked that morning. No bruised up sad looking produce, no half rotten stuff hiding at the bottom of the pile. Just perfect fruit, every visit. I already regret posting this. Please don't come here. But if you do, grab the fruit and thank me later.

There are a whole lot of other items available. I came in looking for a couple of specific items, and also came in ready to browse and grab some cool stuff that caught my attention. I was very happy to have found everything I was looking for. The shop is in Eagle Rock, so they don't have a lot of parking to offer but trust me, it's worth it if you circle a couple of times until you find a spot. This shop is actually a real gem in our community. We are fortunate they are here and I look forward to many years of getting to know more Irish products.

Since Pavilions kinda sucks now, I've been trying out new grocery stores and ended up here -- and…read morefirst thing to know is this place isn't just a grocery store. It's a Filipino grocery store, and that means it goes HARD on seafood. You walk in and immediately there's food on both sides of you. Full food court energy left and right, including a Max's ToGo, which honestly makes it dangerous to shop hungry. Do yourself a favor: grab a skewer or something hot first, then shop. Prices are super fair too, which makes it even easier to justify. The seafood section is serious -- tons of fresh fish, live crabs, and counters set up to prep everything. Clearly a big focus here and it shows. The store overall is clean, well organized, and surprisingly easy to navigate considering how much stuff they pack in. The noodle section is especially stacked. They carry basically all the noodles I usually hunt down at H Mart, which instantly makes this place useful for regular shopping instead of just specialty runs. Big selection of pantry staples, canned goods, and Filipino products you won't see at typical grocery chains. My biggest gripe honestly is the lighting -- it's harsh. Everything is bright in that warehouse grocery way that makes you feel like you're under interrogation while picking vegetables. Also, if we're comparing to SGV markets, this place needs better music. Some spots out there feel like a party with DJs and energy; this location could absolutely level up the vibe. Huge parking lot, plenty of space inside, and lots of room for the store itself to grow. Between the food court, solid prices, and deals ranging from oxtail to live crab, this is easily becoming a regular stop.

I went to Zion Market with my mom on Sunday afternoon, March 15th. I had just come back from going…read moreout and ran into my mom in front of the elevator, and she asked me to go to the market with her. But honestly, this place is absolutely terrible and horrible. Both my mom and I agreed that we will never come back here again. My mom had come to get a refund because one of the pears she bought the day before was completely rotten. The market manager refunded $2 to her credit card, which was fine. The real problem started after that. When my mom was trying to drive out of the parking lot, the gate bar went up after scanning the parking ticket, but then suddenly came crashing down. If my mom hadn't quickly backed up, it could have hit her car. The bigger issue was that after that, the gate bar never went back up again. Cars behind us had to use another exit nearby. My mom, who was very shaken, went to ask the market manager what to do, but she said she didn't know. (At first, I stayed in the car and had to tell the cars behind us to use the other exit because the gate was not working). I was very upset when I heard that, so I went inside and asked the manager for the building management's contact number. She gave me a number, but when I called, the person who answered kept saying she couldn't find the address even after I repeated it more than ten times. Eventually, she told me they no longer manage that building. So I asked her to provide the contact number for the property management that handles the building, and she gave me another number. but it led to an automated system. After selecting the emergency option, a man answered, but even after I clearly spelled out "Zion" multiple times (Z as in Zebra, I as in Ice cream, O as in Oscar, N as in Nancy), he still couldn't understand and then told me that they no longer manage the building and hung up. We arrived at the market around 5 PM and didn't get out until 7 PM. No one helped us at all. After the call, I went back to the market manager again, but she still said she didn't know anything. It made me so angry--how can a manager not even know the property management contact for the building they work in? I also have low blood sugar, so when I get hungry, I start shaking. I ended up buying a piece of bread from the Paris Baguette inside the market. I didn't have cash with me, so I had to pay $3.50 with my card, but thankfully, the staff there was very kind. In the end, my brother had to come all the way from Burbank to get a new parking ticket for us so we could finally get out--after two hours. If he hadn't come, we might have been stuck there even longer or had to abandon the car. Thinking about it now still makes me extremely angry. The customer service is terrible, the building management is a mess, and there was no security at all. I never want to come back to this place. We spent two hours there, from 5 PM to 7 PM, completely wasting our time. Because of this, I couldn't do anything I had planned for the rest of the afternoon and evening. It was an absolute nightmare. My mom was also very upset and couldn't believe a place like this exists. FYI) Every time I come to this market, there is absolutely no cell phone signal., which is another major downside.
