The produce section was not as extensive as those at other Asian markets, but it was still adequate. However, the store carried many unique candies and snacks that I have not seen elsewhere. Notably, sakura flavored products were especially common during my visit. There were two large sections dedicated to premade meals, including rice bowls, hand rolls, onigiri, and sushi. The rolls seemed overly heavy on the rice, with relatively little fish filling. The prices also felt somewhat high for the portion sizes. However, the store offers a 20 percent discount on sushi and bento boxes daily after 6 PM. I ordered the nigiri combination, which included salmon, tuna, and scallop. The scallop was plump, and the tuna was sliced thickly. The salmon was slightly thin but still rich and fatty. Overall, the fish quality was good. The sushi rice was above average, with a distinct vinegar flavor despite being refrigerated. The total cost for the eight pieces was close to restaurant pricing, though the convenience factor partly justified it. I would rate this market a 3.5 out of 5 but rounded up for the good sushi rice. I would recommend shopping elsewhere for produce, but this is a good place for snacks and premade meals, especially after 6 PM.

Best prices on popular snacks like Loacker wafer quadratinis and Calbee shrimp chips. I also like the by-the-pound area (next to frozen food & beverages) to select Japanese millet jellies, a childhood favorite especially the emerald melon one. On occasion I've also seen the vaunted Sunnyhills and ChiaTe pineapple cakes in the front of store, where they keep an interesting selection of packaged food. These weren't cheap but does save you the trouble of going to Taiwan. It's a good idea to read labels and check out unfamiliar brands. Marina has kept prices relatively low despite high inflation so the quality of items can vary. The decor has declined somewhat over time but the prices keep bringing people back.

There is a queue towards 7:45 am waiting for the hot deli to open right at 8 am. The interior of the grocery store is dark and is in a state of shambles... Reminds me of a developing country. The menu is written exclusively in Chinese with prices, all taped on the TV... Some staff wear disposable gloves while others wear disposable masks. Ordered the fried dough stick along with an order of pot stickers which were both decent. Credit cards are accepted for purchases over $5.

And then the rest of the group would be like, hurry up, lets go, but you wanted to look at everything still? And then you grow up and one day you are really hungry and you decide to go into this little produce market! So you and your mom go in, and there all these tiny aisles stacked high with all types of food, especially international food. And you get to look around and pick out a bunch of cool new snacks to try and check out the entire store and it's really great. And then you go home and eat it, and you really like most of them so now you either have to find a way to buy it online or drive all the way over, but maybe it's worth it! That's basically what my experience was!

Solid 4 stars for Oakmont Produce. This produce market does put on airs and if you are looking for…read morefresh produce at good prices - as well as a lot of interesting other items - you are in luck. Yes, the aisles are very narrow and perhaps customer service is not their number one priority. However, it is what it appears to be. A great place to peruse and select your own produce - verifying that it is fresh and in good shape. We bought cherries, apples, peaches, apricots, cauliflower, lavash bread, vegan challah (excellent!), lettuce, spinach, etc... Everything was delicious. This store may make you feel like you visited a foreign country - it may take time to adjust to the surroundings and "culture" but it is well worth the effort.

Been going here since they were K-Market and have been a rewards member since. After hitting my…read more1000 points redemption, I think it's about time for a review. Love the ample parking, prime location, and how spacious it is inside. The rewards system is essentially a 1% cash back at a 1000pt cliff -- meaning you get $10 after you spend $1000 but no redemptions before that. Being a member also doesn't get you any additional discounts vs non-members. But hey it's free so it doesn't hurt. I'll always support there being more Asian grocery stores in the West Side of the South Bay. H-Mart always had that spot for me, but now it's shared. Mega Mart's marketed as a more premium store, but it does its best when they're running sales. Price between the two are pretty neck and neck. You'll spend anywhere from $70-$200 per trip cuz the small things do add up. They used to have prepped food marked off anywhere from 30-70% off in the final and early hours of the day. Now, it's an inconsistent luck of the draw. However, I've never had an issue with food quality with anything I've purchased whether it be prepped food or raw ingredients. 4/5, solid store. Hope they continue to grow and thrive as a mainstay of the community.

They had the usual array of nonstick pots, which don't work very well for me. They had a small but useful section for clay pots. I thought Amazon and AliExpress had overpriced clay pots, but I was wrong. These prices were significantly higher. I can only hope these are the best of the best. Checking up on 99 Ranch, I couldn't even find clay pots in there more limited kitchen utensil section. I ran across one item where knockoffs are ubiquitous. They've completely flooded AliExpress and you have to watch it with Amazon. Hankook had the authentic item and at significantly lower price than both Amazon and Aldi express. I found a tea section to be well stocked. I also recognize some of the tea brands. 99 Ranch has gone with lower cost options, but if you buy 6 ounces of tea, are you gonna be stuck with an enormous supply. Better to go with reliable brands that I have enjoyed in the past. I loved the produce section. It was nice and fresh. It also had wider selection of produce than other supermarkets. The store itself is stunning. The the aisles are spacious. The store is meticulously clean. The shelves are fully stocked. There were only about two items which were shopped out. The snack area and the frozen foods were even more interesting. It's obvious in those two sections that there were many more Korean brands. I should've tried some, but it's hard for me to resist snacks and there was a good chance that would finish the entire bag in one go. Better to skip it entirely. The parking lot for the supermarket is spacious. I had no trouble finding a spot even though I arrived in the late afternoon when everybody has gotten off work. I live about two hours away. And I am very jealous because there is no Hankook near me.

They also have a lot of prepared foods, snack foods, etc. Everything is reasonably priced. They do have a large enough parking lot, and usually we park on the side to avoid the chaos.
