So happy that I was finally able to visit this little market! FYI, there's no photos allowed inside (didn't realize until a bit too late, sorry!). There's 1 hour parking in front and coming mid day on a Wednesday, there was no crowd whatsoever. Yes, there's lots of things that you can find cheaper at any other market, but be smart about it, YOU'RE NOT HERE FOR THAT. You're here for the fancy imported stuff that you CANNOT get anywhere else. There were so many interesting Japanese sweets and snacks that I have NOT seen at Tokyo Central, Marukai, Mitsuwa, Seiwa Mart, or Nijiya and that is SAYING A LOT as a weeb who goes to them so, so often. Lots of chips, candies, cookies, etc that I have only seen here. There are LOTS of really fancy, kinda pricey, but super bougie things like $98 rice, $150 (Mother's Day special) crown Japanese melons, wagyu steak cuts, etc. You'd be hard pressed to find some of these things elsewhere without paying the import shipping prices yourself. Some highlights of what I got were: Sakura Matcha Pocky (entire pack of them, much lighter in flavor and slightly sweeter than their regular matcha flavor), Disney lollipops (only 79 cents for these, super cute packaging and nice flavors. PERFECT for my friends who work at Disney and can get almost everything else Disney that isn't from overseas), and spicy hot chips and spicy curry chips (I ate like 3 pieces of these and my dad inhaled the rest of it lol). For produce, I got the Golden Fuji Apples (around $8+), lightly sweet, great color, and very crisp, a $12 cantaloupe like melon (a worker there told me to leave it at room temp for 2-3 more days so it's the best for eating, very sweet, and less seeds & more fruit), and a pack of large Driscoll strawberries (very, very sweet and only slightly tart, great color). There definitely was a language barrier between me and the cashier, but she was super nice, friendly, and helpful. I also got some freebie snacks to try out! Thank you ! Definitely worth stopping by to check out or if you want to splurge on some of the high quality stuff. I'm gonna come back again and see if I can just buy those boxes of Disney lollipops lol... read more

0!!! This was one of the most disgusting and disturbing experiences I have ever had with a restaurant. The food appeared contaminated and unsafe, and after eating it, there were serious concerns about food poisoning. No family, especially one with children at home, should ever have to go through something like this. The sanitation conditions seemed horrifying. There were signs of insects and filth, and it felt as if unsanitary conditions existed in every corner of the business. A restaurant that handles food this way should not be allowed to continue operating without a full health inspection. What made this even worse was the staff's attitude. Instead of taking responsibility, they responded with hostility and intimidation. Most shocking of all, there were threats involving immigration status, including statements about cooperating with ICE and having customers deported. That kind of behavior is outrageous, abusive, and completely unacceptable. No business should ever try to silence or intimidate customers this way. This is not just bad service. This is a serious public health and safety concern. I strongly urge the health department and relevant authorities to investigate this business immediately. People deserve to know the truth before more customers, especially children, get sick. read more

this store specializes in Japanese and Taiwanese goods. It feels like a an upscale mitsuwa. I rarely see customers parked here but there are definitely some regulars who stop by. I tried this Japanese Cheetos that I normally wouldn't find elsewhere and it's very tasty. read more

I was on the hunt for some shine muscat grapes and saw Heyden just got a fresh batch. I tried calling to see if they can hold a bag for me since I wasn't available that same day, but unfortunately they said they can't do that. Luckily they still had a lot in stock when I went the next afternoon. Heyden carries a variety of goods that are seasonal. Their fruits look very fresh and typically are not sold in other supermarkets. But I'll be honest, their stuff is pretty expensive. My grapes ended up totaling $36 and I felt very bougie paying such a ridiculous amount for some grapes. They were very sweet though but I feel like the grapes I had in Korea were sweeter, and definitely way cheaper. Their customer service is great. The man working was so friendly and I noticed he put on a new pair of gloves when he came over to assist me. They have a few parking spots in the front of the market. I've been here twice and I have never seen the parking lot full. read more

Amazing flavored indie flavored sake here. I recently tried some cool fruit flavored sake (check out SAKARIs Yuzu Sake) at an event and couldn't find the bottle ANYWHERE until I stopped by here. The store is very clean and has limited selection BUT it's a nice quiet place to stop by to check out what goodies they have here. read more

I loved visiting this store and I found lots of old favorites and new things to try. Calvin is super attentive and knowledgeable on all of the products offered here. Some items were even on a BOGO sale which was great. If you're looking for a specific item be sure to check their Facebook first. I felt welcomed the entire time I was here. Will be back for sure! :) read more

This store has an amazing selection of items, and even had exclusive great quality merchandise like Japanese Wagyu. The employee who helped us, Calvin, was well informed and it felt like he genuinely cared and wanted to help us out. The check out process was smooth and I will definitely be back in the future! read more

They have a lot of imported stuff I don't see in other Asian markets. Was able to snag a case of beer I usually only see in restaurants

A lot cool stuff in the store. But buyer beware. Bought a case of 10 mangos 46 bucks. 4/10 of them were black inside. read more

The only good thing about this place is they sell fruits that are not available elsewhere. It's a very small place with not much inventory. Service is a bit too strict. As one shops, the owners were following the shopper's every move which is uncomfortable. They probably mean well but it doesn't sit well with most people like me. read more

If you're trying to find a cute place to shop some authentic Japanese snacks, drinks, and goodies then this is the place. I bought a lot from this place and I can tell you right now that it's worth it! This place is so underrated so I hope by anyone reading this that they can give this underrated grocery store some attention. They also have high quality meat and high quality greens! Definitely check this place out when you get the chance, but I know I'll be coming back :) read more

Wow just wow!! So many amazing types of fruits you can't purchase at any other super markets. It's a cute little specialty store! Boyfriend purchased a box of tree ripened mangoes and a pink pineapple. The customer service is amazing! The owner explained to us the situation they were having w the mangoes and how he would be willing to exchange the ones that were unsatisfactory. We don't blame the owner, it's a transport issue not his. To the Yelp user who gave this place a 1 star just because the store employees couldn't speak English the way you wanted them to, get off your high horse. We'll definitely be back to check out what other fruits he has in stock! :) read more

My son loves their snacks here. This is a very small store that sells variety of items from freezer foods to snacks and some fresh fruits. My 7 years old like to munch on snacks and most of their snack foods are not available in H Mart and other places. The items can be little bit more expensive than those supermarkets by comparing the size of similar item, but I find it very convenient you just stop and go without looking for parking space and waiting in line to pay at the grocery stores like H Mart or Ranch 99. What I also like is their soft drinks are much colder than a typical 7 Eleven store. I came back for the second time to buy more of these seaweed tempura snacks, but all sold out. The guy and the girl working there were very friendly and helpful. The girl came over with a big smile to see if I needed help finding something. I can see that most people might have a misunderstanding find it very weird and awkward. read more

Best supermarket ever,everything I buy is so fresh and tasty, I won't waste any money to other Asian supermarkets,love Heyden

The sales staff do not speak English and couldn't answer a simple question (Where are the melons?). The box that contains the pears has Japanese characters and Kanji, but the place of origin is PRC. If you're looking for fresh fruits from Japan, this place ain't it. Wasted my trip to Arcadia. read more

Heyden isn't quite what I wanted it to be. Based off the reviews, I thought it would have a lot more imported goods, but as of now, I would say a good chunk of it is stuff you could regularly find at H-Mart or one of the many 99 Ranch Markets nearby, for a more premium price. They do however carry things that not even Mitsuwa will carry, and I don't mean just the sad one in San Gabriel (I mean in general). Although photos weren't allowed, they do carry some very niche seasonal Japanese products that you most likely will not find elsewhere. The prices also reflect this, but oddly enough, I didn't think the Japanese imported goods had a crazy mark up, compared to some of the more mundane, easy to find items. The pricing actually seemed pretty fair for what they were. When I visited, a lot of the fruit shelves seemed empty, but I would imagine if you go when things are in stock, you may find some very good product. It's like a place you might expect to find oishii strawberries. The employees can also give you an idea of when to expect things, so I highly recommend asking them, otherwise you might not know what to even look for. That being said, I'm giving it a 4 star because of what it can be, and it's spotless inside. Wouldn't mind going back, but may have to lower my expectations. I hope they'll be able to expand their imported product lines soon! read more

I usually come here for their 'Liang Pi'. It is very tasty. They also sell a variety of high end Japanese snacks, fruits, etc. the 3 star is due to the price is a little high. read more

WOW!!!! I drove by this place several times without realizing what it was. This is a new specialty market with high quality foods, particularly exotic and special fruit. What a treat to have this in Arcadia. The owner and staff are very kind and owner also posts updates on inventory on the SGV food board. Now I know what I am getting my picky Asian mom for her birthday this year - will be making a special fruit platter. Look forward to coming back. read more

This place is packed with exotic items I've never seen anywhere. They have fruits sourced from around the world and dried scallops from Japan at a very reasonable price. I guess I spent so much that the boss lady gave me a free pink glow pineapple. It looks delicious! I rarely ever write reviews, but I really want this place to make it! read more

I'm very picky about food quality. Since I walked into this shop half year ago, I am really impressed by the quality of this shop！I basically go shopping twice a week. HEYDEN offers high quality, exotics fruits, and I'm a big fan of seasonal limited mangoes, cherries which exported to Japan, mangosteen from high-end fruit brands, Japanese crown melon, and Korean sunshine grapes. Heyden's A5 Japanese Wagyu is really the party's first choice. Heyden also offers top quality wagyu from Australia Jeek's Creek brand, my kids especially love the Korean Galbi Style steak and Bulgogi beef brisket. The shop also offers lamb chops, lamb shoulders from New Zealand and Canadian-raised pork of the Japanese breed. Heyden also offers farm freshly picked vegetables, such as our family's favorite Chinese cabbage, as well as a wide variety of snacks and drinks from Japan. Kids Probiotics and mini cakes are really great for kids to take to school. read more

At first we were not sure why this grocery market opened up as there's so much competition nearby with Arcadia super market and 99 ranch. Then as we learn more about what they do, it turns out they curate and stock the best groceries, from the best fruits to the best rice to A5 wagyu that you won't find at a normal supermarket. Now we're coming here weekly for premium fruits! read more

This grocery store had knowledgeable, friendly staff and reasonably priced items. We got a pinkglow pineapple, which you can't find everywhere. They even gave us free corn because they were too small to sell! read more

If you are looking for high quality meat, this is the place to go. The meat was so tender. It melts in your mouth! The the strawberries and mangoes were so sweet and tasty that my daughter devour the whole tray by herself. Definitely a hidden gem in Arcadia. read more

Very good mart that offers very fresh fruits, vegetables, beef, Japanese seafood , snacks and drinks. All the goods are very good quality
