This is a very nice Asian market...very clean and organized. It's always busy when I go there, and the parking can be a battlefield. Some things are pricey, but there are also good deals. They have a good selection of snacks.
Great Wall supermarket is a solid Chinese market that has a great produce section. The veggies are so vibrant and fresh. I found CILANTRO ROOTS here, an item I cannot find at most Asian markets. Cilantro roots are used in a majority of Thai recipes. However, a better selection of Southeast Asian herbs and spices can be better found at 99 Ranch and 168 Market. The lines to check-out and pay are chaotic at this location. This market is very clean.
I shop at Great Wall Supermarket regularly, but today's checkout experience was very disappointing. My card didn't go through on the first attempt, which can happen occasionally. Instead of being patient or helpful, the cashier repeatedly blamed me and spoke in a very unfriendly and accusatory manner. I understand retail work can be stressful, but basic courtesy and professionalism should still be expected. This interaction made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. I hope management takes customer service more seriously.
My Mom and I were at the food court area. We saw a gentleman holding one full size frozen durian. My Mom asked him how much was it. He said $2.98 per lb. He got a really well rounded durian that was almost perfect. That's what you want... all sleeves to have full durian pods. On our way out, I told my Mom that I wanted to check out the durians. I love durian!!! I was looking for an all rounded shape durian to get the most pods. You want a durian with 5 to 6 full sleeves of pods. I found two durians on the smaller size which was fine. One was 3.5+ lbs and the other 4.5+ lbs both for $25.50 total. What a deal! Whenever I buy 1 lb of frozen durian in a plastic container, it would cost me about $20 nowadays. I definitely got more than 1 lb worth of durian. It was so so very yummy! Seeds were mostly little and thin so more durian meat. Love my durian! I want to go back and buy some more. Ambiance is always nice. Staff was okay. Anyway, see you all here with two durians in our hands LOL!
The service at this store is truly disappointing. I bought a durian from this supermarket, and when I opened it at home, it smelled terrible and was clearly spoiled. I went back to the store asking for a refund or exchange, but they refused, saying it was my own fault for not choosing the right one. How am I supposed to choose when the durian is completely wrapped and I can't see inside? They sold a spoiled product and still won't give a refund. I strongly advise everyone not to shop at this supermarket! It's a ridiculous shopping experience here.
Lots of treats and eats for New Year celebrations! Very good prices and selections of spices, sauces and a nice, well stocked produce department. Lots to look at and explore, but store did not feel overwhelming. Most stock was put away, with boxed items being just the additional supply of popular goods. Service was friendly and efficient and even some samples to try! Happy New Year and cheers! "CC"
Though my family's resided in this neighborhood for almost 40 years we barely discovered the gem that this is couple years ago .. Mexicans love fresh seafood & this place is the spot to get fresh plump meaty fat shrimp for $6 a lb. and that's for the medium shrimp (I forgot which one). This place also has Taiwanese malt liquor lol $2 a can & dumplings galore & different flavor pocky. The salmon is expensive, Like Ralph's status. Parking SUCKSSSSS, it's always packed ;(
This is terrible supermarket, especially seafood section. I bought some seafood in the bag, they are all bad and smelly. It costed me $25 dollRs. The most stupid thing is that the seafood and meat section close almost couple hours earlier. Then you have to go to another market to get them.
A very decent market that's got pretty much everything you want from a Chinese supermarket. The last time I came here, it used to be called The Square Market. Location: It's located in a plaza that has many other businesses and restaurants with it. There's a big parking lot, but the spaces are a bit on the smaller side. The lot can tend to get packed later in the evening and especially on weekends, so be prepared for that. Store: Everything is well laid out and organized into specific aisles/sections. Produce is fresh and well stocked, and the dry goods are regularly replenished. The meat and seafood sections are a little messy and unclean. However, the meat and seafood are very fresh. You have a choice of getting prepackaged fresh cuts of meat, or going up to the butcher to get what you want. The seafood is frozen fresh, or you can choose to pick a swimming fish if you need the extra freshness in your seafood. Prices: Very reasonable and cheap. Priced exactly like many of the other Asian markets in the area. Nothing that'll catch you by surprise here. Staff & COVID protocol: It's very clean and spacious, with plenty of space to move around while social distancing . The staff all wear masks and gloves, and they have hand sanitizer available for customers to use. I cannot speak to whether they regularly disinfect or not, but that was not an issue for me.
Great Wall Market is located in a shopping center filled with a variety of restaurants; Vietnamese, Chinese, Taiwanese. It's a specialized Asian American supermarket that was first established in New York in 2004. Catering to Asian immigrants GW market offers Asian products in a supermarket-style retail operation. The market was very clean when I arrived. The shelves were stocked and although customer service was lacking, if I was in the area and needed Asian groceries, I would stop by.
I remember shopping at this store before it was called Great Wall supermarket. It used to be the Square Market. Been coming to this store for a while after shopping around the area for different grocery prices. They are pretty decent. I'm usually online checking their ads before going. I normally cross compare them against 99 Ranch with their internet ads. So far this is the only store that does sell frozen dumplings in multiples with a deal, like 3 bags or a certain amount. All the other stores are like $4 or $5 a bag. They also have a decent amount of fresh produce that are very comparable in price. I once found 1 pound boxes of blueberries for $1 a box; this is unheard of. They have a pretty large size parking lot, prior to the pandemic, it used to fill up fast. Nowadays, there's plenty of parking and no more circling around the area for a spot. After you are done shopping you can head over to the food court to grab some food to go. There's also other restaurants in the same plaza. I highly recommend checking out their ads if you're looking for a certain groceries and you can decide if it's worth coming to this store.
I'm not a fan of Asians Market because they are busy, messy and not sanitized properly, or even at all. But my mother likes the low prices and the selections. The only thing I like about this market is they have a small food court with cheap Asian food selections. My family recent visited this market during the covid-19 times. Not liking the not so strict social distancing are followed. The X make the spot is more like 3 ft rather than 6 ft. During these hard times, we just want to go in get the groceries and get out. Didn't find out until they got home a bag of chips bought was expired! Purchases on 05/11/20, and it has already been expired on 02/12/20. It's not the first time we bought stuff that has been expired there. That means they don't do quality Control check nor they clean and wipe down the shelves. Bags are supposed to be free during the covid-19 time but they still charge. There's a small cart right next to the registers that sell masks, gloves hand sanitizers, alcohol, and lysol spray. They wanted $18 for a can of Lysol disinfectant spray! Talk about Price Gauging!! When he told me the price, I was omg! He said he purchased it at a high price. 3 bottles of the spray cost $16 at Costco. They looked exactly like the package of 3 they sold at Costco. Well, At least their restrooms are clean and decent...
Use to be called Square Market. They have multiple locations around SGV. I find this location to be the cleanest of all the locations. Very organized market. Aisles are spacious. Quality of the veggies and fruits are often fresh. ** yes they sell the popular brown sugar milk tea boba ice cream here as well! I also like that they have a huge aisle dedicated to chips for all the snack junkies out there. TIP: They are pretty up to date on their website for weekly deals. The market is located in a little center. It includes a small bakery and there is a small food stall near the entrance of GW market that sells pre-made and packaged sushi and kimbap. Parking: located in a big plaza so plenty of parking spaces. Customer service: the cashier lady was a little aggressive in packing my food. Was so scared she'd crack my chips

Great Wall Supermarket is located on the corner of San Gabriel Blvd and Garvey and is in the same plaza with a dozen other businesses. The parking lot is huge but still seems inadequate for the number of cars/patrons in the area. The GW Supermarket is "open" so there's no walls separating market from other business stalls. The area has a bakery, trinket shops and a food court that well liked by customers. I see streams of people weekdays and weekends. What I liked was finding some special edition Yeo Chrysanthemum drinks linking to Chinese New Year (very cute) and sales on lucky red envelopes. The Great Wall is smaller than other Asian supermarkets in the area, which makes everything feel really cramped and crowded. The aisle is tight so movement with two - three carts can be challenging. The selection of variety of anything is limited so I can see the lower-than-normal rating. Overall, GW calls the basics and gives the community another market option rather than driving further into SGV. read more
My daughter wanted to cook for us today (yesterday), so here we are. Quality/Quantity - Got a bunch of fresh produce. And some udon noodles and Japanese curry. Atmosphere - Good size supermarket. Had all the necessary departments. The produce, meat, and seafood departments looked fresh. See pictures. Service - Self service. Well, the check-out was smooth. Price - My wife paid. My daughter doesn't look at prices, lol. And I was too busy in the deli picking up a snack, lol. My snack was $6. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2003 and with your 23 locations. read more

I ordered 4 Golden Pampanos for Crispy Fry and clean March 13, 2024. The order takers barely understand English as they are mostly speaking Chinese. All bloody and the fish was not cooked right. This was supposedly our dinner for my family, ended up refrying it ourselves coz the food was still raw in the middle as you can see. Did not bother to go back to ask for a refund but dude could have done it right. There was not a lot of people lined up for the fry section so it blows my mind that they do this quick frying. read more
COVID-19: Social distancing is enforced at this establishment. All of the staff wears a mask. All customers are expected to wear a mask too. The staff sometimes wear gloves. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is opened for customers to do their grocery shopping. They have no one controlling the amount of people coming in and out, so they are not limiting capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. While I was grabbing my groceries from this establishment today, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They also do not allow pets in their establishment. Parking: Plenty of parking. However, the spots here are a bit tight and small, so your car may get dinged. Also, since this is a super popular supermarket, the lot gets full easily very quickly, but you can also park on the street. Store: The store is pretty big with lots of options. It is well stocked and the produce is pretty fresh. The aisles are organized in a way that makes sense. The aisles are very neat and tidy. I wouldn't say that it is clean though. Staff: The staff here are pretty nice and friendly. read more

Came here to eat at the food court early in the morning and felt awkward because the security guy was talking to some person and I had to walk through them to get to the entrance. When we went to the food court, there seems to be a homeless old lady muttering and all the old people seemed to be staring at me that made me feel awkward. We found this hidden corner all the way in the back between the seafood section to shop for things we need for a funeral. When I exited, some old man that I don't recognize kept calling me "Jenny" at the entrance when that's not me that freaked me out. I wouldn't recommend coming here by yourself as a young person. read more

I live around here and their so many supermarkets around this area.GW market the fruit and vegetables always fresh ;the prices are a little bit pricey then the other asian supermarkets;parking are little bit cloudy but still ok;their lady cashier most of them are not nice(I seen couple time they smile and nice to some "returning customers" but after that they will turned back the unhappy face to the other clients!!!I had so many time bad experiences with their lady cashier before.this is why I don't like to come to GW that often) today I finally write a review because I am so upset for my rib that I bought today.$6+LB of this rib.when I open the bag i was shocked!!why they do this!!I don't have extra time to go back the market to talk to them! They hiding the extra "un rib meat" under the rib parts and sell as rib!!this totally not right!!so I did chopped off the extra parts because this is not what I need:( They can't cheat customers like this! read more
A fairly large size Chinese supermarket. Fairly clean, fully stocked for all your Asian cooking needs. Produce section was jusy OK, large variety with fruits and vegetables displayed, nicely organized, but didn't look as fresh as it could have been . Meat dept. is good, clean, no smell, workers here were helpful and attentive. The seafood dept. is the best of the three departments. Everything looks fresh and clean, no smell which is a good thing for a seafood section. Large tanks holding live crabs, lobsters & fishes, nice place to shop for your seafood needs. Cashier's were pleasant & friendly. There is really no major issues with the market itself, above average. The one and only problem is outside in the parking lot, parking can be a challenge. During the peak shopping times, and all day Saturday & Sunday. Patients is definitely a must, and having luck couldn't hurt. read more

Tuesday grocery shopping, March 7th, 2023 at 10 am See something, say something!!!!!! - dungeness crab on sale at $5.99 per lb During the shopping, the crab pool was full and packed with crabs. I asked the person from the Fish department to pick 2 crabs for me, and I emphasis crabs must be in good shape with all legs and claws. This person fully understood my requests and re-confirmed with me that the bagged crabs were good. After, I paid straight at the cashier. I am shocked when I back home and saw the crabs. Both crabs were handicapped, one was missing a piece of claw and 2 legs, and the other one was missing 3 legs. Of course, it's not a big deal, unfortunately, all dishonesty adds up, and it still considers a scam and unethical to do business with. I won't recommend this supermarket and the rest chain stores at all. Thumbs down ! Period read more

I've been shopping at this place from time to time so maybe it's TIME to write about it! I love coming here for stuff that you can't get from Ralph's or Vons, like different Asian versions of Kimchi and such. Nestled in the heart of the shopping center is a clean, well-lit super market with groceries pulled from all corners of Asia. Which type of ramen you want? Several Chinese types or several Japanese types? How about yogurt drinks from Greece? They had that. Chinese spinach? Check. Japanese bean sprouts? Yup and in a few different brands too. Today me and my food hound cousin were looking for ice creams and such: 1. Boba ice cream bars. 2. Melon Ice Bars. 3. Tea Latte Ice Bar - Japanese Matcha 4. Milk Ice Bars. 5. Milk Drink - which is sweetened coffee milk tea - REALLY GOOD! And much much more... So if you're not in the mood for American white bread stuff, come over here and get yourself some Asian goodies. You won't regret it. read more

I stopped into this store because I was going to grab some food at the food court. I typically go to 168 or Cali but wanted to see if anything was different here. I was actually impressed with how fresh their products is compared to most Asian markets. I also think they are much cleaner than the others. I didn't get any meat but at a glance, everything looked very fresh, clean and organized. The prices were very reasonable. Face masks were on sale for $6.95 box of 50. Large pump size hand sanitizers were 2 for $5. Can't beat those prices. They also had a variety of kitchen supplies . The checkout lines were properly marked on the floor so there were no confusion. Basically there was one line per 2 registers. Register 1 & 2 had one line going down one aisle. Register 3&4 shared a line and 5&6 shared a line. As for the costumer service, let's be honest...I don't think it exists in any Asian grocery stores around SGV. Most of the time they don't understand what you are saying unless you have a photo to show them or they simply look, ignore or walk away from you. For these reasons I have no expectations on customer service. Knocked off a star for customer service and no mints. read more
I do like Great Wall supermarket chain. Sometimes it is difficult to get help, but I deal with the situation the best way I can. The reason I shop here is because their kimchi is a lot cheaper than Whole Foods. I also love kimchi pot stickers and Mr. Brown Coffee. Life goes on. read more
