Yes, this is the only decent Asian grocery option in North County. No, it is not worth it…read more North County is severely lacking in the diversity of their gastronomy scene and their grocery stores reflect that. You'd have to drive either to Irvine or Mira Mesa for Asian markets. 88 Ranch (not to be confused with 99 Ranch) is definitely your most viable option here. It's a mid-size store and the selection is decent. All the usual produce, snacks, and such are available here. The kicker is the price. Everything is so expensive! I'd definitely recommend only stopping by if you're in a pinch with no other options.

The store is always clean and organized but there is a definite odor from the meat and fish. The service at the fish counter is fine.

I stopped by here as I remembered there was a Japanese Market and wanted to grab a quick bite to eat. I picked up a beef rice ball and California Roll. Both were fresh and delicious. I may have came late as there wasn't much selection in the sushi section but the cashier informed me that I can go next door and order. Overall great experience - friendly staff, adequate parking and tons of selection.

They loaded up on gummy bears & fizzy sodas, we grabbed some fancy chocolate and a bottle of something bubbly, and somehow we all left happy (and way over budget lol) It's not just a store, it's a whole vibe. If you want a quick escape with someone you like, just go. You'll wander, you'll snack, you'll laugh & yeah, you'll buy way more than you planned. But it's worth it! Would 100% go back with friends or family. Such a good little vibe.

We had only used about two cups of rice, yet when we attempted to return the bag, the store refused to accept it, even though the issue was clearly a product defect. I strongly believe in supporting local businesses, but that support depends on fair and responsible practices. Unfortunately, this experience was both frustrating and disappointing. I hope the store takes this feedback seriously and improves its quality control and customer service policies moving forward. So glad Miramar cash and carry is opening in Vista!!!

All so very delicious! My own Michigan Polish/Maliszewski family (I am fourth generation, back in Lincoln Park, and still cook Polish for my family when I visit there) did not garnish savory farmer's cheese pierogis with caramelized onions and scallions dipped in garlic-sour cream sauce or ever add fresh dill to the filling --but it is a delicious touch! ) In Michigan, we boiled them slightly in salted water till they floated to the top, drained the water off, then lightly browned them in butter and served them alongside a dollop of cold sour cream. I am very impressed at the quality of the food here, the lightness of the dumpling dough, and definitely had a delicious dinner in my car, a first for me in the 36 years I've lived in CA. (I brought my polka-dancing shoes along as well, but no band was playing in the parking lot outside!- does anyone know of a place for polka dancers like me near San Diego?). Rita Maliszewska-Farkas

Service was great as I walked in I was given a salutation, and asked if I needed assistance as I browsed. They had meat pies from England. Play smells great, very friendly open atmosphere, enough for a wheelchair or mobile device to get through each market aisle. The only thing I'd like to mention is the fact that a few of the items that I would get here that I'm familiar with I can purchase a few dollars cheaper elsewhere. However, if I want to buy it all in one location, and save gas money and try something new then this is the place to be so therefore it gets five stars. The community appreciated this unique grocery store. It was really nice seeing free chocolates for the kids sign outside as well.

The shop is also very well organized and their offerings range from snacks (sweet, salty, savory, mainly) to condiments, teas, coffees, sauces and spices...they even have frozen goods, some decor, and some pots. When I went, there was also a couple of discount carts. Plus, they handed out samples! I didn't recognize much, so I asked for a rundown and some recommendations, which was really helpful. I came away with some Tim Tams, Dallmayr coffee beans, Monaco espresso, Tayto chips, and some teas, cookies, and cakes to try. Service is pretty friendly, and parking is super easy in the lot.

My fiancé and I will definitely be coming back for their coffee and pastries on a weekend morning! The owners couldn't have been any nicer to my son as he practiced his Portuguese- ordering for us and even chatting it up with him. This warmed my mama heart!
