    Egusi & FUFU
    Faith S.

    I had to egusi with fufu and asked for it to be spicy it was very good. I really enjoyed the texture and the flavor. The manager who entered the phone is very nice. I have one suggestion, but they add fish to their menu. A lot of African dishes some form of fish in the ogbono soup we are offering for other dishes. I understand they have okro but it is not on the menu to order. I believe they would make more that way since the flavor is already so yummy. Thank you.

    As a small businesses owner, I would not recommend this store to anyone after my encounter with the owner today. The dress drew me in, but the owner who could not be found droveme away with his @#$%#$ attitude. To make a long story short. I expressed my opinion that the dress wqs overpriced; however i was still willing to purchase it. He basically walked away from the register aftrt being aggressive in his mannerism. IF I ever go inside overly packed store ever again, it would be to inspect the store with proper authorities. No love lost or gained. Wish my mom was alive, she could make this dress . Good luck with your business sir.

    Egusi and fufu

    Me and my kids were searching for egusi soup and fufu because we never tried it. I personally love trying different culture foods. And when I say it was delicious it was so different and the flavors were new to me and I loved it. The guy that works there is super sweet. I will definitely be going to his store regularly

    Made the long trip out here looking for a specific item. Looked up the hours. The hours are even posted and it's not open. I understand for small businesses this sometimes happens but there's not even a note on the door. Disappointed

    I get giddy when I find little treasures such as this. I had originally bookmarked this little…read moremarket because of their empanadas, but I found so much more. The market is small and cramped and packed to the gills with Latin American and Spanish goods. They have good looking produce, a nice big butchery, multiple freezers and refrigerators filled with specialty items that will make your brain work on overtime. The way the deli works for buying their prepared food is different from some. You must first place your order at the back counter. You will receive an itemized ticket which you must take up front to the cashier. Then, you return to the back to show your proof of purchase receipt and then you get your food, bagged and ready. The total wait for us was about 10 - 15 minutes, not bad. I get it, why they have to do it this way, but it is time consuming and inconvenient at best. We did get some empanadas. They are fried, not baked, so have an extra good crunch with every bite. There are two ground beef fillings, i.e. two different recipes. Three were the wonderful filling that has green olives (my favorite), and one that was described as spicy beef (that really was not all that spicy). Both were delicious, and their dough was flaky. This could easily become one of my favorite destinations for a reliable empanada. Besides the deli empanadas, there was a nice selection of empanada disc's (round pastry wrappers) in the freezer section if you are inclined to make and stuff them yourself, and frozen empanadas made by Goya in yet another freezer. I also convinced myself I needed to buy two tamales. One Guatemalan, the other Peruvian. These are sold frozen and are ordered at the deli counter. Haven't tried them yet, but I am excited because they are not so easy to find. Other products that caught my eye included a fascinating collection of sausages, chorizo, morcilla (blood sausage), Spanish linguiça, Spanish chorizo, smoked meats (Corte's brand), smoked herring, quail eggs, and other imported delicacies. Perhaps I will not need to drive all the way to La Española in Harbor City anymore for Spanish imports? They sell a very comprehensive list of Goya brand products and prepared foods. I grabbed a bag of ready to eat sweet plantains from the freezer as well. All so tempting. By the time I had perused the whole store and was headed to the cashier, my guard was completely down. There it was... freshly baked goods critically placed next to the cashier so you can't miss them. Soft crust baguettes and rolls in baskets, and small, sweet pastries and cookies in their bakery case. There were several pastries that looked very special, some featuring custard or quince filling. We, of course, had to buy some. I have already tested the one filled with the quince and topped with finely grated coconut. It was outstanding, not very sweet. The dough was lightly brushed with egg yolk for a rich, beautiful finish. These were super fresh and very tender. The baked goods are delivered fresh from an Argentinian bakery in Burbank. This is a great find! Not your usual small neighborhood grocery. I am very excited to return.

    Such a great market that has been here for a long time. Great family. Great produce and drinks. The…read morepeople here are community forward and a lovely family owned spot that's well respected! They are always friendly and loving. This spot is 10/10!

    My Mom and I were on the run to find Auntie Lui's peanuts for my brother. Luckily, this Hoa Binh…read moreSupermarket had 12 bags left on the shelf. Of course, I bought them all. I had a feeling they may no longer carry this peanut brand in the future. Not sure why though... Auntie Lui's is a good brand. Anyway, other than our peanut run, we normally don't shop here. It's like one of those... let's check and see if they carry the item kinda thing. My parents used to shop here back in the 1980's and 1990's so they have been around. It's an older supermarket... they could get a facelift on the place. Give them a try when you're in the Montclair or Pomona area. There aren't very many Asian supermarkets around the vicinity unless you drive out to San Gabriel Valley or Rowland Heights area. Happy Shopping!

The staff were not friendly at all, especially a young male employee who appeared to be around his mid-20s. He was extremely rude and disrespectful toward my family, which made the visit very uncomfortable. The store also did not appear to be well maintained. The place looked dirty, and I noticed several items on the shelves that were expired but still being sold. That raised serious concerns about cleanliness and quality control. Because of this experience, I will not be returning. I hope management takes these issues seriously and improves both their customer service and store conditions.

    My family were in the area and decided to stop by because we rarely get the chance to eat Jamaican…read morefood, and we're very happy we stopped by. First off, the cafe is bright, colorful, and warm and was running a 90's - 2000's spotify mix that was right up my wife's alley. Very relaxed atmosphere and we felt welcome immediately. We absolutely wanted to note that everyone working that day were very helpful and nice. A special shout out to our waitress Trisha (sp?) who helped us with some honest recommendations and made sure we were taken care of. On to the food! 1. Jerk Potatoes - These were fantastic. Strong, well seasoned, and very filling. This was the first thing on the table, and was honestly enough food for both my wife and I. This is what we want to eat in the morning after a night out, while watching a chinese drama on Netflix, or after a nice hike. Great dish, great first impression. 2. Seamoss Shake - Tricia helped me convince myself that this was healthy because seamoss is a health food! Good enough for me! I actually love this, my wife did too. I mean, it's a milkshake so it's sweet, but not overwhelmingly so and had a really nice earthy tint to it. Would order again. For health reasons. 3. Fried Chicken Wings & Waffles - No complaints about the waffles, actually quite good overall. The chicken was also very well done, moist, tender, well fried. The highlight of this dish though, was the jerk spicy dipping sauce that came with the dish. For all those chinese people out there, it's like the sweet and sour sauce used in peking ribs, but with some additional spices that really took it to another level. 4. French Toast, Eggs & Bacon - My older son tends to order this whenever it's available. Not much to say, it was tasty and he left no crumbs. We also ordered curried goat and brown stew chicken, but we actually took those orders home since we were full from the first few dishes. Great spot, great people, would recommend! As a side note, I fully support the Seamoss Shake health food movement. Thanks y'all!

    Ordered their jerk chicken, rice & peas, cabbage and plantains. Definitely one of the best Jamaican…read moreplates I've had. Their jerk sauce has quite the kick so Im glad I got it on the side. Chicken was soooo tender and had a smoky flavor to it. The cabbage was seasoned well and rice was cooked perfectly. Mac and cheese plate was super weak in my opinion - I was expecting the Mac and cheese you get at a back yard bbq. Lacked in cheese and flavor. Some edges had a nice cheese pull but for the most part it was just a lot of noodle. Would have loved to enjoy it with the short ribs per their advertisement - but they had ran out so we got some crispy wings. Portion is big - not sure on the how much it was though, as the menu wasn't priced. I would advise to pair your meal with one of their house-made specialty juices if you don't get a ginger beer! I had their pineapple-ginger, a Jamaican staple and goes so well with their cuisine. oh. GET THE PATTY. If all else fails, get the damn Jamaican patty. Beef and curry chicken are my favs. All of the patties are crispy, Flaky, and buttery. I was pleasantly surprised to know that these are the same patties served to you at none other than Simply Wholesome, in LA. A grand staple for the community. Savanna, helped us out for the evening and she was lovely and helpful! Would come back just for the customer service itself.
