They have all the buckets of dried fruits and snacks along with the variety of teas. It's a great place to check out. They offer free samples of any snacks you want to try and the available tea flavors of the day. They are ready to serve the free samples. I got a chance to try a few snacks and some tea. I was in snack and tea heaven LOL. I ended up buying several bags each ranging from half a pound to one full pound. Funny, as I was trying to leave, I would see something else I like. I actually got 3 rounds of goodies and spent a good amount of moola for them. Quality goods come with a price. At the end of the day, it's all worth it. Cheers to good health!!! 1st round: - Pork jerky (yummy!) - Dried squid (decent) - Black sesame candy (amazing and can be addicting!) - Golden Green Tea (100 packs) (really solid green tea!) 2nd round: - Dried jujube aka Chinese red dates (very sweet and delicious!) - Dried logan (taste is a bit peculiar, but still okay) - Dried tofu (haven't opened the bag yet... will soon) 3rd round: - Six Flavor Herbal Grass Jelly Tea (very herbal and refreshing!) - Longan Red Date Jelly Tea (same as above) - Assam Black Tea Jelly (same as above) I had a wonderful visit. I learned a lot about the health benefits from eating certain dried fruits and drinking certain teas. Thank you Diane and Ling for your warm welcome and hospitality at your shop. I appreciate your help and service. I also enjoyed our nice conversation very much. I'll definitely return here for more goodies.

It's been ages since I visited Taiwan but I do remember all the good food! The shop is tidy and they manage to pack a lot of items in here while still making it feel uncluttered. Some items they had for sale when I was here were various high grade oolong teas, the Taiwanese version of Otter Pops, pineapple cakes and soy sauce. They have a frozen section in addition to their shelf stable foods with items such as fish and various dumplings. While the cashier spoke both Mandarin and English, the person giving out samples of oolong teas only spoke Mandarin (In hindsight I should have asked if she spoke Taiwanese too). I'd love to come back next time I'm in the area to get more goodies for myself and as gifts.

Lots of parking by this shop. It is located right across from the big Costco warehouse in the same lot. You can't miss it!

They have a large selection of dried Chinese herbs, sauces & condiments so it's fun to shop here once in a while. However today, on a beautiful Saturday morning around 10 am I walked in trying to grab some fresh produces, I asked if I could just have a cabbage out of the box and the Cantonese uncle was telling me they don't have the cabbage. I pointed and said it's just right here if you could just pick one for me and he responded with annoyance and said firmly they DO NOT have cabbages. Usually the staffs sorting the produces are very nice but I guess I hit the wall this time. Don't feel like I am welcomed here and will shop at other local Asian markets from now on!!!!

I finally noticed the faded sign which says their opening hours and it says "closed" in Chinese for Sunday which has typically been the days we've visited. I was a bit excited. In Chinese the store's name is "New Shanghai Food Products". There is no English to be found, however, it's located directly to the right of TS Emporium so you won't really miss it. However, now that they're open and I've wandered through the store I feel letdown. There is nothing special stocked. Yes the stuff they had are Shanghainese items, however, you can find it at your local 99 Ranch Market very easily. They didn't have homemade buns or wontons, dumplings or Chinese tamales. Everything was pre-packaged. Don't bother going in here unless you're in the area. You can get everything at Ranch and probably cheaper.

Bottom Line Up Front: Great Wall Supermarket is a cramped…read moreChinese grocery store that has decent selection at affordable prices, but gets so busy it's not worth going to except right when it opens or right before it closes. The Layout: Like most other Asian grocery stores, it is poorly laid out. Great Wall's goal appears to be to pack in as much product as possible in its average-size store rather than focusing on the customer experience. In the produce section, you can barely get two carts to pass each other in opposite directions. Same story in the aisles with shelves. All it takes is one inconsiderate shopper to stop in the middle and there's an instant traffic jam. The Checkout Area: Same deal here. Great Wall packs pallets of products all around the cash registers to try to get people to make last-minute impulse buys when this area could be used instead to have logical serpentine lane dividers that could control the crowds who have lined up to pay. Instead, people form long lines that spill into the aisle with shelved products, preventing those who are still shopping from finding the items they need. The Customer Service: It's fine, which is a nice surprise -- most Asian establishments have horrible customer service with bad management. Workers aren't super friendly nor will they go out of their way to help you, but they are quick and competent. The Selection: The produce section has a good array of Asian fruits and veggies, but it's not as extensive as other places. They didn't have the one vegetable I was looking for: rau muong (AKA water spinach or ong choy) during my visit. There's a large meat and seafood section, a good amount of seasoning and dry goods, and a decent frozen food section. The Prices: Shockingly, the prices were moderate to affordable. A nice change of pace in the current economy of inflation and overpriced products. The Conclusion: Despite the selection and affordability, the layout, overcrowding, and lack of good management makes this grocer place low on my go-to list. Great Wall Supermarket is a very appropriate name, as the long lines of people waiting to check out blocks the aisles like the famous fortified structure in China. Go here only if you are low on options.

I had not been to this Great Wall (GW) Supermarket in over 6+ years, until a week ago. I was in the…read moreplaza to grab some food and while I was waiting for it to be ready, I stopped by GW to grab a few items. Last month, I shopped at the GW Supermarket location in Covina, due to the convenience of grabbing an item after meeting up with friends for lunch at Haven City. Even though Rowland Heights (and the surrounding areas) are saturated with Asian supermarkets, GW Supermarket is convenient if one is in the plaza grabbing a meal or a drink. It is always about location, location, location... I feel the prices are a bit higher than 99 Ranch or H Mart but it is due to convenience. I only needed to grab an item and looked around, but everything else was just so pricy that I just grabbed the one item. It seems with any GW location, the lines to checkout are always so long, and they had a few open. Parking here is always a bit tight, very narrow parking spots, and with the amount of storefronts is a lot. GW Supermarket would never be my go to, especially for the prices, the not very fresh produce, and the long lines, but it is convenient if I need to grab something if I am in the plaza.

However, the selection of dish is out of the ordinary wherein they cook a modern day take of the traditional cuisines & still maintain the distinct Chinese flavor that everyone likes.

As for the price point, they give you value by serving big portions & not skimping on the protein mix-ins. Why four stars because we need to try their other dishes. We will try them when we come back & assess it again.
