That's pretty much all they sell here, but when you specialize in one thing, you better do it well... and they definitely do. I picked up a pack of the pork and chicken lap xuong and it was delicious. You can really taste that they're made fresh. I can honestly say this is probably going to be my new go-to spot whenever I need lap xuong. Whether you're throwing it in fried rice, eating it with sticky rice, or just pan-frying it on its own, it's hard to go wrong with these. If you're not local, they also ship, so you don't have to make the drive. Definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of lap xuong.

I can not believe that I've never yelped QUANG TRAN. This is my go-to for Vietnamese sausage. You…read moremay say Chinese/Vietnamese sausage is all the same ... but it's not. I can guarantee that you'll feel the same after you try Quang Tran's pork sausages. Quang Tran is a multi generational establishment. The young man who's the the main person at the store front is the grandson of the original sausage maker. His name is Ngon, I hope I spelled it correctly and he was more than helpful today. He was able to sell me 5 bags of pork sausage when another customer tried to buy everything out. Coming all the way from New York, I was MORE than appreciative of his kindness. Will I return?!? Absolutely .. I do everytime I come out to California. Now that Quang Tran ships, I think I'll get my Vietnamese sausage fix thru the mail ... definitely cheaper than a plane ticket. Wishing Quang Tran continued success!!!

But the main thing that keeps bringing me back is the duck blood! It's the only place I know around this area that carries it. They do sometimes sell out, but most of the time it's in stock.

Miao Yun isn't one of those flashy modern markets, it's the kind of place people recommend because the quality is consistently amazing and the owner genuinely cares. & the owner is the sweetest uncle ever! He's attentive, warm, remembers preferences, gives great recommendations, and somehow always steers me toward something good. I usually ask for fattier cuts of meat and he NEVER misses. The quality of the sliced meats here is honestly better and fresher than what I've gotten from a lot of larger Asian markets in SGV, and the pricing is better too. This is basically my one-stop shop for hot pot night. Frozen sliced meats, fish balls, condiments & sauces, noodles, etc... the store has pretty much everything you need. The selection is great and it's easy to walk out with your entire spread planned. Also worth mentioning: plenty of parking in the outdoor lot, which makes stocking up way less stressful. What keeps me coming back though isn't just the quality or pricing - it's the service. In an area with endless food options, it's rare to find a place that still feels this personal. You can tell the owner truly cares that you leave happy. One of my favorite hidden gems in SGV and a place I'll keep coming back to forever

My girlfriend was craving quail egg balut, and after searching online, this place popped up. The…read morereviews weren't great, so I was hesitant, but since the only other place that sells quail egg balut is in the OC, I decided to give it a shot. The store itself is in a plaza on Valley--nothing fancy. I don't speak Vietnamese, so I just showed the lady a photo of quail egg balut and asked for two dozen (about $20). At first glance, the eggs don't look any different, but once I got home, I boiled them for about 10 minutes. It was my first time trying quail egg balut, and it turned out pretty good! I've already been back twice because my girlfriend loves them, and I have no clue why the reviews are so negative. The lady was really friendly on my second visit, and the balut tasted great both times. I'll definitely keep coming here--hard to find quail egg balut elsewhere!

Ever since change of ownership this place has gone way down. Not flavorful Balut and I will never come here again. Always upcharges and makes you buy more.

I was looking for an authentic Vietnamese fruit shop and I stumbled upon this cute mom and pop…read morestore. I ended up trying their sugar cane juice, mangoes, and jackfruit. I normally get my sugar cane juice from another store but the one here is better tbh. It's more fresh tasting and worth it for the amount you get. The mangoes you have to let ripen up in a few days but once they do, oh em g they are so good, best mangoes ever. So fresh affordable and yummy. As for the jackfruit it's already prepped and ready to eat which is amazing because preparing jackfruit HURTS its like a giant durian. The jackfruit has a nice sweetness that is unlike any other fruit in my opinion. Being Vietnamese American it means a lot to support businesses like these because it reminds me of my own parents. The staff were so sweet and patient and helped me choose which fruit to buy as well! Everyone RUN don't walk to this cute fruit shop that just so happens to house the yummiest fruit and fruit juices ever!!!

I wanted to ask what juice drinks they had but she wasn't able to tell me and just pointed at pictures. They have lots of fruits and even fruits I've never seen before. If I read reviews first, I would've gotten the sugar cane juice but since I only saw a pic of passion fruit juice, I got that. It was def fresh fruit w the sourness to it. I will def come back to try their sugar cane.

Winning a free gift on Instagram…read more.. Recently, I've been rather lucky at winning giveaways on Instagram. Lee Kum Kee, for example, has been very generous as I was one of ten winners. All I had to do was complete a form online and provide my email address. I kind of forgot about this prize, so when they messaged me about my being outside of their delivery range, I wasn't surprised. They realized that I live in Hawaii and glass bottles of sauces wouldn't travel well. Instead, they offered to send me a gift card for Amazon... Wow! That's very nice of them! Thank you to Lee Kum Kee for following through and honoring your word! I'm very appreciative of your generosity and kindness and will continue to patronize your brand... My family and I especially like your oyster sauce! Note: Lee Kum Kee is based in Hong Kong and has a manufacturing site in Southern California! They make over 200 kinds of Asian-style sauces - look for their jars, bottles, and packets at your local grocery store! #lkksharelife

The store isn't huge but they make great use of it. We eat hot pot fairly often at home so this is a closer location than where my mom is going to previously.

No samples, didn't see any prices, and no customer service. I took a chance and bought one of each. I am so glad I took the chance. I have never had jerky like this. It's crispy like a chip which I really loved. They're $12 a bag but have a 4 for $40 special. All the flavors were outstanding. My favorite was the seaweed one. It had a full strip of nori fused to the side. I was honestly sad when I ran out, it was that good. Unfortunately they have a high sugar count compared to other jerky which maybe contributes to the crunchiness. Because of the high sugar amount I probably would only buy this on rare occasion. They really need to up their customer service game. An employee sitting there on their phone ignoring the only customer in the store isn't a good first impression. If they had samples it would increase sales I am sure.
