This is our go-to Chinese herbal medicine place. We come mostly for raw ingredients or to fill prescriptions. The boss was friendly and knowledgeable. We consider his general advices the reason for the rating. There appears to be Chinese doctors on-site. We have never use that services. They also sell pre-packaged standard prescriptions for various common ailments. We tried only the ones for new mothers. read more

I was admittedly nervous about procuring TCM outside of Hong Kong, but after stopping by here I'm a lot more comfortable with sourcing them in the South Bay. From the pristine state of the shop to the warm hospitality I received from the moment I entered, this place is definitely a shop I'll be returning to often. The staff are remarkably friendly and genuinely helpful, playing a huge role in making the experience smooth as silk. I came in with a prescription from abroad and with their help we managed to figure out a dosage to start me off with. I do appreciate that they gave me a small supply to trial things (just to see if it works) rather than trying to sell me up on a larger batch. Staff were focused on what I needed and thoroughly explained things rather than trying to make a quick buck; we discussed symptoms to verify medication appropriateness, double checked on whether the pricing made sense for my prescription dosage, and even reminded me to drink hot water for my headaches. It also helps that they know both Mandarin and Cantonese to boot, so between all these factors I certainly feel like I can trust them to know their stuff and treat folks with respect. Even on the financial front, a week's supply of medication for $40 is competitive with prices back in Hong Kong, so pretty much everything seems top notch. We'll see whether the dosage is about right, but Willie promptly gave his card to me just in case I had questions or if anything didn't make sense. Their customer service is worth praising and I plan on being a regular here. read more

Came here to look for a remedy for what I believe is hormonal acne. I showed him what someone I know is also using and he shook and nodded his head as he was looking at the ingredients. This guy obviously knows a lot about his medicine. He recommended against it as it's too strong for my insides and will just make me worse (every case is different). He showed me some mixed herbs made for acne they already had bagged up and ended up giving me a 3 day trial of a loose chrysanthemum mix. He told me when and when not to drink it, and sent me on my merry way. I look forward to coming back because he wasn't persistent on making profit and the level of confidence he showed made me feel confident in his work as well. Thank you so much! read more

Even though I live in SF, I prefer to come here for my Chinese herbal medicine needs. The space is clean and professional. Also, I can email them my prescription, and they are quick to respond, making it super convenient to work around my schedule. read more

This place is Joke, its really clean and kind of friendly service, But the Price is sky rocket, big ripoff....i normal got some medicine in SF area for $5 or $6 a box, they charge for $20, No way i will go back. read more

They have high quality herbs and the doctors are quite knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this store.

I get all my herb prescriptions here. Usually I email them the formulas and pick them up later on. Prices are reasonable, even when compared to San Francisco. They have pre-packed soups too so I can just put everything into water, boil them for an hour, and have some tasty, healthy soup ready. I also visit Bill here from time to time. Bill is an excellent acupressurist! I feel so relieved every time I walk out of the store. He helped me to remove my muscle knots and improve my blood circulation. He is extremely precise and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him to anyone who is stressed out or just wants to relax. 5-Stars for sure! read more

Super friendly and helpful people working here. Just tell them what your feeling or needing and the know what's best. I show them a picture of the herbs I need since I can't pronounce anything properly and they hook you right up! read more

Dana Oriental Market - This stuff is the best for any stomach issues and perfect for travel emergencies - Traditional Chinese Medicine Near Me - Mountain View, California

It's really hard to find a place with good quality herbs, this is the one and only I know so far. And Dr Zhang Li is pretty famous for her pulse reading and herb formulas. I referred some of my facial clients there and they thank me for introducing such a great doctor. Willie is very efficient and really nice. Thank you for the best quality herbs :) read more

Excellent spot for Chinese raw herbs. They have a full Chinese herbal pharmacy, and the owner was exceptionally helpful in describing the various quality and costs of the herbs. As a fully trained Chinese herbalist, it's wonderful to have access to an herbal pharmacy that is so knowledgable and welcoming, but I have a feeling that even if you weren't a provider, they would steer you right. They also appear to have many patent herbal formulas, as well as services for busy providers like packaging and preparing herbal formulas. Great find! Thank you! read more

Great service, good quality chinese herbs. Look for the owner, Willie! read more

They were candid, honest and professional. The medicine was reasonably priced and the consultation was helpful.

Just found out the price here (everything except regular herbs) could be up to 30% more expensive than else where. Consultation fee could also cost 4x more than some TCM. Other than not liking the price, the service and quality of the herbs seemed to be great. read more

Nice place! Went there looking for some herbs due to numerous issues. Ended up leaving with a few things. First off the man who greeted me and helped me was very sweet, and takes his time to help you. I annoyed him with many questions and inquiries as to what is this and what is that. I ended up trying some white Ginseng, and the second you try this stuff wow it's like a pow of energy. It's nothing like the stuff in traditional vitamin stores, it's the real deal! It also smells amazing. I guess it's an herbal energy supplement. It's very exotic and very expensive a pound will run you $100-$300. So the gentlemen gave me a deal because I was just trying it out. I bought a few other things. We chatted a bit about herbs. And on my way I went. It was a very pleasant experience. This man takes his time to speak to his customers, advises for or against a product will tell you if something is not worth buying. The store was spotless- very clean and smelled clean. It had a great vibe to it. Will definitely come back. Great place! Come here for your herbal needs. read more

Super friendly and helpful staff!!! Cheapest prices I've seen in Peninsula read more

Best herb store in the area- very clean and tidy, unlike those typical Chinese herb places where everything is so messy all over the place. Dana Market is very clean, and spacious. Their herbs might be a little more expensive than other places, but they do have high quality, clean herbs. Dana Market also have a good variety of different herbs, and I can usually get what I look for. Willie the owner is so helpful with getting the herbs I need. He also gives good suggestions; he knows herbs so well that I actually learn something new every time after talking to him. Besides, there are acupuncturists and acupressure therapists. Nice people. Thumbs up! read more

Very clean and professional herbal shop. On the pricey side so you have to decide if it is worthy it.

I totally agree with the previous review. Dana is the best herb store in the bay area. Willie is extremely nice and helpful. I usually fax herbal prescription to him in the afternoon and i can pick up the herbs on my way back home in the evening. He charges reasonably. I also visited Dr Daniel Tsay on Sunday for acupuncture treatment. Dr Tsay helped treat my swelling issue during pregnancy. Before that, he treated my headache. Very professional. High recommended them! read more

I wanted to make sure to write back after I had finished...it worked! 5 days of drinking their concoction...my infections completely gone. Oh and I had gone to see an acupuncturist about a month later and he said the same thing about my stomach being hot. This lady really knows her stuff. I highly recommend her and I will come back to this store again. read more

With Oriental medicine shops you never know, and I can't claim I truly can tell the difference. The Ginseng I got there seems to be high quality. I also feel that I get way more information about the product than in other places. Did not use the doctor. Can't refrain from commenting on one of the negative reviews below. It said that American doctor diagnosed allergies and gave antibiotics. That does not make much sense to me. Antibiotics are not usually given for allergies... Maybe this was a special case? read more

If you are looking for a competent, personable, communicative acupuncturist look no further than Daniel (Tsai?) at Dana Oriental Market. He is an engineer by profession with training/experience in acupuncture and he works at Dana Market on weekends providing acupuncture treatment for patients. I went to him for a problem and saw relief in one session and in three sessions the problem was history. I have referred him to others (problems range from tennis elbow to ACL and knee problems and they have all reported success and not just that, a pleasure in working with him.) read more

I'm very happy with this pharmacy. I can drop in or call in my own raw herb formulas and pick them up without hassle. The herb quality is very good and the owner is very careful about sourcing (important if you want to avoid contamination or species swapping). The prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. In my opinion, bargain hunting for cheapest prices with herbs is like bargain hunting for a tattoo. Better to pay a fair price for the best quality. The service is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. read more

I was visiting family in the Mountain View area and became sick with flu-like symptoms. My brother's acupuncturist treated me then referred me to Dana Oriental Market for some herbs to follow the treatment. What a GEM!! They were so helpful and knowledgeable. Now I save my 'shopping' for herbs until I am at my brother's house so I can pick them up here! They also have other services available. I was feeling better within hours! read more

Very good Chinese herbal store; clean and efficient. Price is very reasonable. The owner Willie is very polite, nice, helpful, and knowledgeable about the herbs and Chinese medicine in general. The have a few acupuncturist on site seeing patients and/or prescribing herbs. I haven't used them personal but a friend really like the female acupuncturist there. read more

I found Dana Oriental Market while walking around the Castro St area. I see Joyce for acpuncture and she's excellent. I also see another practitioner not at this clinic - each with their own unique styles with great insight and care. On occasion I have purchased herbs of good quality and prices seem fair. It's worth supporting local businesses like this, rather than giant online retailers. More money goes back into the economy when I support a local business - so I feel like I'm suppporting my neighbors. read more

I have checked with the shop several times, to make sure my insurance works for them. When I came later, the doctor told me my insurance doesn't work. The doctor is very nice and I like her, but why not double check my insurance in advance and save my time? read more

My family and I have been going to this place for acupuncture and Tuina (Chinese medical massage) for more than two years. And we love coming here because of the high quality of services ! read more

The man behind the counter was so darling and polite and attentive--more than is traditional in terms of customer service in Northern CA these days. He was so conscientious about making all the customers who came in were taken care of and made happy. Also, I am completely satisfied with the herbs that they mixed for me. Somehow the place seems so old-fashioned--the way everything is so neat and orderly and hand-made to order. It reminds me of the corner store in anytown, America back in the 1960s. I gotta' try the massage from Bill from the sounds of one of the reviews on this page. read more

Not at all helpful. I was in the store for about 5 minutes and felt like I was stealing valuable time from other things they needed and wanted to do. I asked for a couple of items and was told they didn't have it. Not try this instead or where else I might find what I was looking for. Do not recommend this store read more

I bought organic goji, longan, and recently chrysanthemum here. The sellers were very friendly, told me the source of products and whether it's organic or not. The quality is great. I appreciate the info because I can decide the safety and reliability of products. I just wish they would put some english info on some of other unfamiliar products though... like english names and the health benefits and instruction of how to use them... because I am so curious about them loll read more

Last year, around this time, I was feeling sick (non-stop coughing) and decided to give Traditional Chinese Medicine a try. I called this place to see if there was a doctor on duty. I was told that there was. Then, I asked if they accepted credit cards. They said yes. Therefore, after work, I immediately drove to this place to see the doctor. When I got there, I was told that they accept credit cards for everything, except the doctor visit. If I knew that, I would of gone to the atm first. Anyways, the doctor said I was battling a cold and prescribed some herbs for me to take. While I was waiting for my herbs, I walked around to see what products they have. I ended up purchasing 3 pre-packaged soup mix. Fast forward, a week later...I was still coughing. I ended up going back to an American doctor and was told that I have allergies. I was given antibiotics and the cough died down after a couple days. I do believe in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but it depends on whether they can diagnose my problem and give me the right herbs to get rid of my symptoms. After that time, I would stay away from this facility. The main reason why I like going to see American doctors is because of the price. Every time I see a Chinese doctor, I was told to take as many herbs as it takes to cure the problem. One visit here, sets me back around $70. This is twice of what I would pay to see an American doctor and that includes the medicine. read more

Friendly customer service and all natural high quality ingredients. I enjoyed my experience here.

The owner Willie is very personable. There are different Chinese traditional doctor's office inside the store. The shop provides mailing services at a reasonable cost, which is a convenience. Last time I gave him an wrong address for sending a package. He gave me a tracking number that I could know exactly where the package is. He even purchased an insurance on the package. After 3 weeks the package is returned and he called me immediately. I really appreciate it! The price is too high as I found out, but got no problem for a refund. read more

I still give Joyce high marks for her dedication and real concern for her patients. The down grade is for results. Joyce over states her abilities and then fails to deliver. After several months (and many dollars later), I am faced with resorting to Western medicine for help with my problem. Caveat emptor - despite what Joyce and the shop owner Willie would like to believe, herbs and accupuncture are fairly limited in what conditions will see improvements. read more
