This place has tons of good deals/sales so it's basically perfect. My wife has their rewards program so it's even better for shopping here. As for products, they're pretty standard to most markets around. Produce are fresh and meats are plentiful. Staff here is efficient and friendly. Occasionally, you'll find staff handing out free samples similar to Costco. Overall, a standard market and pretty consistent with other 99 Ranch Markets. They also have a bakery in the back which is pretty popular. Not expensive at all and plentiful of options. They have self checkout stations as well but sometimes they're not open. Usually there's about 3-4 cashier stations going on so traffic control is pretty good.

Global Fresh Market is located on the corner, in a plaza off of Rosemead Blvd. This is also in the…read moresame plaza as AutoZone. They took over the old Valu Mart Warehouse location. I have been to this Asian market a few times and am actually surprised that the price of produce is really cheap. But you do have to be aware that the fruits may not last as long as maybe going to another market like Smart & Final or Stater Bro's. Also there have been times when I have seen produce starting to mold/ have spots. During cherry season, I was surprised to find that this market sold rainier cherries (I actually love these more than the red ones) for $1.98 per pound where as other places are selling them for anywhere from $5 to $7 per pound. It is very busy when some of their produce like that is very cheap (because you know you just aren't the only one who thinks that is a good deal). The rest of the market itself has a similar layout as what you would expect at other Asian markets. And on our past visits, the market has been clean and did not have that familiar odor that may be associated with Asian markets. One thing I thought was interesting though about this market is that you need to have a minimum purchase of at least $5 for credit card transactions. I have only seen a small number of markets that have a minimum for credit card transactions and just wanted to bring that up for those that don't normally carry cash but wish to grocery shop here.

True to form, they did deliver an impressive assortment of tropical and hard-to-find fruits. So far, so good. Now, about that word fresh -- let's call it aspirational. Several fruits were sporting some noticeable blemishes, though in fairness, that might be the work of picky shoppers playing a game of "squeeze every mango and put it back." We've all seen that person. The selection overall wasn't bad, but they fell short on a few things I needed -- either the price was a touch high, or the brand wasn't quite right. The store leans heavily on food products from China, which appears to be their bread and butter (or should I say, their rice and soy sauce). As for making a special trip from home? Probably not. The limited selection on my must-have list makes it a tough sell for a dedicated haul. That said -- if you're here specifically to raid their produce section and stock up on exotic fruits you won't find at your average grocery store, this is absolutely your spot. Just, you know... inspect before you invest.

For rest of the items, she entered a membership code for us that gave us the sale prices on the items we were buying. The checkout process was quick and easy.

They weren't super busy at the time, but most of their sushi rolls from the frig were low in quantity. I love salmon so I went with the Salmon Avocado Roll. I also brought the Salmon Roll (more salmon) up to the counter in hopes they would allow me to substitute it for the Salmon Avocado Roll. No substitutions! Oh well. I also bought one jar of Furikake Nori for my eldest daughter. She loves that stuff. So do I. It was a quick visit for me. I heard they are planning to expand their marketplace to next door. I'm really hoping they will add some inside seating so we can enjoy the sushi on-site. I'll definitely come back to see the expanded space. Good luck Yama Sushi!

If you're craving the authentic Japanese egg salad sando, this one doesn't quite compare. The bread wasn't as soft and fluffy as the ones we had in Japan or even at 7-Eleven in Hawaii. Honestly, I don't think it's worth the hype. If that's what you're going for, I'd stick with the sashimi instead!

But my husband and I were looking for a specific Chinese tea drink and so we ended up coming here because we had gone to a few of the other Chinese markets nearby with no such luck. We ended up parking on Valley instead of parking in their small parking lot and then walked in. I am surprised that this market hasn't changed since my childhood, honestly the market doesn't look like it has remolded or changed. It's like a time capsule, frozen in time. I did end up finding that tea drink here and I was also really surprised how cheap a lot of the produce was, as compared to other Asian supermarkets. And as long as I am able to park on Valley, I think I would consider coming back here the next time I'm in the area.

I purchased a loaf of bread from Hawaii Supermarket and later discovered that it was moldy. After I…read moreposted about it on Google Reviews, Hawaii Supermarket publicly responded and told me, "you can come back and we will give you a refund anytime, please keep your receipt." Based on that response, my dad went back to the store by himself. Unfortunately, we had already thrown away the original paper receipt, but we still had a clear photo of the receipt, as well as photos of the moldy bread. I understand that requiring the original paper receipt may be their policy. However, the way the situation was handled was very disappointing. My dad drove about 50 miles round trip after seeing the store's response on Google and expecting that the issue could be resolved. Once he arrived, customer service would not issue the refund without the original paper receipt. My dad did not want to argue, so in the end he simply took another loaf of bread instead. My family has been shopping at Hawaii Supermarket for about 20 years, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. This was never really about the price of one loaf of bread. It was about the customer service and how the situation was handled after selling a moldy food product and publicly asking us to come back to the store for a refund.

Cursory look, it appears well organized & clean but today, there was this awful smell when I walked in.

What brought me so much joy is the fact that they sell fresh star apple for $10.99/lb, albeit expensive, but exists HERE!!! I bought a couple to try. I hope I am not gonna be disappointed, but, heck, it was worth a try no matter what. I didn't get to visit all the departments but will definitely return to check it out. I noticed Vietnamese goods, too. I am excited to know that it's about 5 minutes away from our new place! Plus, there's a myriad of places to check out for food & drinks.

That's a steal! They were very big shrimps. I got 3 lbs. I later walked through the freezer section. I saw monthong durian on sale for $14.99 per 14 oz box. I couldn't resist. I got 1 box. Gentleman staff at the seafood section was very helpful. Lady staff at the register was just okay and not the most smiliest. I came for Chinese red dates and black sesame candy, but ended up leaving with my top #1 favorite seafood and top #1 favorite fruit... shrimps and durian. It was indeed a win win visit!
