I love this grocery store. It's the next best thing to a Vietnamese store other than driving all thr way down to Little Saigon. They had a lot of the traditional Vietnamese herbs, spices and meats. The workers were all friendly and helpful. Definitely a store I would go back too. read more

Love this place. I come here for all my Caribbean, African and some Asian ingredients when cooking. This place has a huge selection of meats and seafoods and also other international ingredients. read more

Dat Moi Market - Mojarra time - International Grocery Near Me - Gardena, California

Local market with fresh seafood and meat and produce. They carry unique Asian, Caribbean and African spices, condiments and products. Parking can be difficult when you go during peak times. Prices are high and low in comparison to 99 Ranch and Seafood City/Fresc Catch. I was excited to try the beef patties, not the best I've had as I enjoyed them in Jamaica. The dough is dry and the filling could be "juicier." Still a good place that serves the community when you need items. read more

Dat Moi Market is such a great Vietnamese market! The staff are friendly, and there are so many choices -- from fresh produce to authentic Vietnamese ingredients and snacks. Always a good experience shopping here! read more

My mother's family is from Hawaii so I grew up eating food from the islands. I happen to love (and make a mean) Lau Lau. To do this you need a lot of fresh taro leaves. This is where Dat Moi comes into the picture. This is the only thing I have ever purchased there as it is very hard to source this main ingredient for the dish. Dat Moi has never disappointed me with their supply. The taro is VERY fresh and all of the family loves the Lau Lau that comes from them. The hard to find produce from many cultures can be found here as I have seen many different ethnicities shopping there every time I go. read more

Never knew about this place until now. Lots of ethnic stuff coming from Asia with several tea options, the Caribe with many seasonings we've never tried, and some from South America like instant coffee. Good option to get fresh oysters, clams and fish. Parking is tight, this place is the size of a convenience store so parking can be a hassle. We enjoy seeing new products and ideas from different countries and ethnic backgrounds. Service is good too, as we were walking without a basket or anything a lady came to offer me one as my hands started to get full. Cashier were nice too. We're definitely coming back for more ! read more

This is the only place I go for fresh Red Snapper. They clean it, scale it, filet it, cut it, and even fry it if requested. The prices are well under commercial grocery stores with half the freshness and quality. I also love the store carries imported Caribbean seasonings, fruits and veggies and sauces. So glad I love walking distance from here. The service is so professional and kind as well. The lines move super fast. Overall great place to shop. read more

This place had all the Vietnamese food you would need ! Service is great! Can get really really busy!! Very structure inside !

Can you get crawdads and gulf shrimp how long I need by Thursday And at least 2 lbs . Thank you Wendy read more

My favorite local Asian store. Great selection of Vietnamese, Cambodian, Thai, and Chinese products. This place has everything from fresh produce, meat and fish, canned goods, and more. Great quality produce at fair prices. The employees here work super hard to run the business. read more

This store is my go-to for fresh/frozen meat, seafood, produce! Parking is plenty full and cashiers are knowledgeable and very helpful especially when I pick my Balut and they always come up to me and assist me in picking the best ones in their trays of Balut for Boiling I love how they're on top of making sure everyone are served in the meat/seafood area by following their systematic queue! The store is not as big as the usual asian market that's why it's easier for me to find the products i am looking. gotta love the a store where it's diverse with friendly atmosphere. I Highly Recommend this store read more

Dat Moi Market - the entrance to the store - International Grocery Near Me - Gardena, California

International Market is my go-to spot when I'm craving fresh seafood, quality meats, or unique snacks from around the world. The selection of seasonings is impressive, and I love that I can grab everything from oxtails to blue crabs in one clean, decently sized indoor store. Prices are reasonable, and the variety of fruits, drinks, and ethnic snacks makes every trip feel like a mini cultural adventure. Service is generally solid--though be prepared to wait a bit at the meat and seafood counters during peak times. But let's be real... it's worth it. Pro tip: Don't leave without trying the fried fish. They fry it fresh while you wait, and it's hands-down my favorite part of the trip. read more

The store employs armed security, and I couldn't help but feel I was being followed--surprisingly because of the visible minority identities I hold. Perhaps it was because I was placing items in my reusable Trader Joe's bag, which may have appeared suspicious. Still, the store has aisle cameras that could serve that function, rather than an armed plainclothes guard trailing me. This experience left me feeling uneasy, uncomfortable and frankly, stereotyped based on my visible identities. Would I return? Probably not. If I'm going to spend money somewhere, I want to feel comfortable--not scrutinized based on someone's assumptions or past experiences. I truly hope there's another Thai market in the area, because I'd rather support a business where I feel respected. ** I want to add that I called and spoke to Mauro and he was nothing but respectful and understanding to my experience and reassured me I wouldn't have that same experience again. Thank you Mauro. Moving forward I'd request to speak with Mauro and Eric before doing any shopping to ensure my shopping experience isn't one that is tailed by an armed white guy.** read more

What a great selection on Vietnamese, Asian, and Caribbean food stuff. Parking in the back can be tight on the weekends. Avoid the crowd and go during the week around noon. read more

Dat Moi Market - Patties?! - International Grocery Near Me - Gardena, California

When I tell you if you're looking for West Indian seasonings...this is the pace?! This is the place....

I heard from my best friend that the food was authentic and tasty. I also heard they had a new chef/owner. My friend and I are foodies so I trust his opinion. He was right!!! Ohh my I am so Happy to have eaten here. I started with the Spicy Chicken Wing which was deep fried with a homemade sweet chili sauce and the Queen Special Butter Chicken. The dish is served with a black pepper jalapeño sauce. The Seafood soup was Amazing. I could eat this everyday. shrimp, fish mussels, squid and fish sticks. I felt healthy warm and fuzzy inside. Perfect for those chilly or rainy nights. Papaya Salad was authentic Thai style. I like mine mild but you can have it really Thai style. Spicy. My friend ordered it normal (spicy). We ordered a second one for me. I'm not as strong with Thai spice. So I was Happy to eat it all myself. I ordered the Spicy Basil Ground chicken with fried egg. It makes my mouth watery just thinking about it now. It's pretty close to Space X so if you are in the area or live by there it's a no brainer. read more

I come to this market all the time to buy food for my restaurant, and I honestly can't say enough good things about it. The service is always fantastic, and the ordering process is smooth and reliable every single time. I place my order, come pick it up, and everything is always perfectly prepared and ready to go. It makes my job so much easier, and I truly appreciate the professionalism and care they put into what they do. This place has become an essential part of my business, and I genuinely love shopping here. Highly recommend! read more

Came to this market because I needed fresh scotch bonnet peppers. This is a very good Caribbean market but be warned, it gets super busy and the parking situation is super annoying. read more

Dat Moi has everything you need from fish, beef, pork, chicken, vegetables, exotic seasonings, and more. Service was very good and punctual. The prices were very reasonable, I got 5lbs of snow crab for about $80 along with 3lbs of shrimp for under $20. They have a lot of items that you won't find in normal grocery stores especially in LA so if you from out of town or just want to experience a lil piece of Caribbean culture you got to stop by Dat Mou read more

Great international market with fresh varieties of meats and vegetables- they even fry fish

one day I was in need of rice noodles but didn't want to go to 99 ranch or Chinatown so I yelped "rice noodles grocery store" and I was brought to Dat Moi, I was hesitant because it's on a busy street but once I took the leap of faith I haven't thought twice of going elsewhere. Recommend for their international ingredients and fruit/vegetables. Go early if you want your meat and seafood bc there's normally a long line for that service. read more

Moved to Los Angeles a little over a year and a half and THIS has been our go to farmers market for everything fresh. Our staples: okra, fresh fish, plantain, oxtails, beef, shrimp... you name it. They tend to be very busy Sunday afternoons so avoid then if you can ... Parking available in back. No such thing as ordering ahead they also have hen and Turkey read more

I really enjoy coming to this international market. It's usually crowded with people. Parking is in the back now only. I like coming here because they sell a variety of caribbean, african, spanish, Asian goods, and more. read more

Small market - but a large variety of Asian, Caribbean, and Latin items. Love the diversity. Because the market is small, it's quite crowded, but there are signs and employees that keep things orderly. The parking is crowded as well, but they have a dedicated person directing everyone in the parking lot. Cars are regularly coming and going, so you'll likely find a spot. Many people inside were in the line for the seafood. They offer complimentary fish frying if you buy fish there. There is also a consistent line for the two cashiers up front, but it moves quickly. I personally was hoping to find taro leaves but did not see any. I did pick up Thai basil, French butter, and frozen jute leaves. If you expect your markets to be perfectly pristine, this is probably not the place for you. read more

I've been here only once - a loooooooong time ago - but I vowed never to return because this whole place just STANK. It smelled of rotten fish, rotten meat, just rotten EVERYTHING. My last thought as I walked out the door then was, "They're not the only Asian store around here..." Fast forward forever later, I happen to be next door to pick up my puppy after a procedure but I came through much too early, so I decided to kill a little time and check this place out one more time. I was curious as well as prepped to run out should that same experience from that last visit pop out again. They've blocked off parking up front to observe social distancing. There is someone at the door being mindful of the number of people entering as well as exiting. There wasn't a line, so I got through with ease. I was delightfully surprised: did this place get bigger? Or did they just do a great job of reorganizing? It was a hot mess the last time (albeit over a decade ago) so this was a good second impression. Fresh veggies, fresh and frozen varieties of seafood and meats. They have a wide array of basic products for most Asian, Indonesian, and Jamaican (and then some) cuisines. The variety is astounding. They were all priced reasonably as well. I didn't plan on buying anything but ended up with a basket and a half of goodies to bring home. Another plus? They now clean and fry fish as an additional service! OMG, I loved this visit! It's conveniently on the way home from work, so I'm definitely making more stops here. Kudos, Dat Moi, for the improvement! I shall return! read more

This market is special. It's not JUST a Japanese market or an Asian market. I probably cannot even accurately describe what all they have here. But if I had to pick ONE market to go to, this would be it, because they have the widest variety of produce, canned foods, dry goods, beverages, etc of any place I've ever seen. If you need it. They probably have it. That said, it can be a bit intimidating for first timers. The main event is the seafood section - there's a separate line for seafood, whole fish (among other things) on piles of ice, and free fish frying. I did not participate in this so I can't speak to the quality or logistics, but it's what you'll notice first. It's the loudest thing going on in there and also the most aggressive smell you'll smell. I enjoy wandering through the other aisles. Everyone's really nice and there's ample parking in the back. read more

Service takes time because there's a lot of people. I haven't had actual food that's cooked since it's really a market like most except it's pretty small and carries unusual Asian items that most don't have. You can pick out a fresh fish and they will clean and deep fry for you. Parking is limited. read more

I have been frequenting this store since I was 5! I'm now 36 and still visit! I must admit a lot less frequently since I'm out in the desert but I have fond memories of DatMoi and will always make it a point to stop when I'm in the area. read more

Dat Moi Market - International Grocery Near Me - Gardena, California

Cool market with great prices and a variety of Asian and jamaican groceries. There's also a large meat and seafood counter and a freezer full of exotic meats. I'm very glad I found this market because now I know where to find all the seasonings to make jamaican oxtail, ackee, festival bread.. Seasonings that are super hard to find and usually very expensive if you need them shipped to you. They also have an extensive soul/ cajun spice area. I mean seriously their spice selection is one to be reckoned with. They just found a new loyal customer in me. read more

I've been coming here with my family for over 10yrs and I have personally been coming here for over 7yrs. I didn't expect the shock to be treated the way I was on Christmas Eve at about 10:30am by Dustin. Horrible return service. Maybe it's because of the demographic they serve (mainly immigrants) that's. why they don't care about customer service or reevaluating their nonsense return and compensation policy. I keep buying their yams and cocoyams and getting home and they're all spoiled with only 2 or 3 still ok. I have complained about this to Dustin the manager and had whole conversations with him before. He assured me to come back and they will replace if it happens again. Most times i don't because of the drive and being busy, but this time around i was sick of it. Things are expensive not to talk of inconvenience and commute.... Needless to say, that didn't happen when i showed up there on Christmas eve to get a replacement on my order he said he doesn't remember having this conversation with me. I was so shocked and disappointed. I literally say hi to everyone there especially him and hold conversations each time i come in. He said i should have kept the receipt, their return is only after 3 days, and i was supposed to bring the peels back(imagine bringing back the peels and rotten product just to prove something from 2 weeks back). Mind you i called when this happened and i live an hour away with no traffic so i can't keep driving back and forth. The only reason i am leaving a 5 star review today 12/30 is because of a guy named "Eric". He said he was new there but showed me more courtesy and consideration than someone I've been dealing with for years. He replaced my cocoyams for me and it was honestly my christmas gift. If i ever come back to Datmoi, it will only be because of him. read more

I still really like this market the prices have increased SIGNIFICANTLY! I usually just get crab from here and it's had increased over $10 per pound! Which sucks!

Isles are tight but well stocked with Caribbean food items.. I will frequently visit.

First off props to international markets! Thank you for acknowledging that our culture is a staple! So pulling in is a lil tricky, but there is ample ish parking in the back but I can't imagine it will sustain on a weekend or heavy traffic but they tried. When I walked in it gave me the naija store vibes lol station behind the register got the high end products lol tiger balm, bigen, apetamin drink, even tura soap lol and dettol- which is lowkey discriminatory because what it implies is y'all be stealing lol anyways there's a line for meat and fish etc they chop it up for you and price it - I saw they had a good variety of meat cuts especially parts for our melanated and cultured cuisines like tripe, chicken hearts and gizzards and feet, pork ears and hooves idk but they had quite a few fresh fishes too - now they had a few Nigerian food items which I was disappointed about because is it a Asian market or combination lol well they had titus can, palm wine even but I mainly came for the Jamaican staples which they have read more
