    This supermarket may not be the best, but the only fish market that I know of in the area that sells a variety of Wild Caught fish and tells you where the exact source is from. Not many markets do this or in comparison to multiple markets I've gone to in the Bay Area. Additionally, they also clean and fry your fish for you! Just get a ticket and wait for like less than 15 mins (depending on if there's a long line of customers). This location is pretty decent or a hit-or-miss. May not have everything you're looking for, but for me their fish selection is a must. They also have a decent selection of staple vegetables and fruits like bok choy, bananas and yams. I'm taking one star off for the mislabeling or maybe I did buy the wrong fish (when I took the fish home, I saw a different name marked on the sticker). This isolated incident isn't going to keep me from coming back. And when I do, I'm always headed straight to the fish aisle. Overall, I definitely recommend everyone to check out Lion's Supermarket!

    It depends on what you come to this Chinese grocery store to buy. Cantonese-Chinese songs are usually playing in the background. Don't expect excellent customer service here. They do the minimal to keep the place operating. Inflation prices have impacted most grocery stores. This location has gone from a 4-5 to a 3-4 rating these days. It's not as exciting to visit anymore. They used to be fully stocked with grocery items, especially in the meats/freezers areas until their refrigerators broke down few years ago during pandemic, causing lesser customers to revisit. Only entrance doors on left side is open. They still have good deals if you compare them to 99 Ranch stores or Marina grocery store though. It's less expensive and more affordable at Lion's Supermarket. Fresh clams $11.10 for roughly 1.7 lbs., $6.99 per bag frozen shrimp headless with shells on, and $6.99 per bag cuttlefish/carved squid. You can do a lot with grocery items here. Inexpensive. Some of the shelves looked empty, but it's still a convenient place to stop for fruits and vegetables. Lots of noodles and sauce ingredients too. One piece fresh ginger $0.35, 2-3 pieces red/green bell peppers $1.40-$1.69, full bag of green scallions $0.99 each, etc. Saw fresh shrimps with heads & shells on $3.99 per lbs. Sometimes, it goes for $2.99 per lbs. If only they invested into a much better building. This place is old. Food packaging are pretty clean and bundled up pretty good. I would still pick up items here knowing that it is more expensive elsewhere around here. Employees chat with each other very much. Manager needs to smile more. They have the basics. Inventory is limited these days. Empty shelves are common. Glad to have a Lion's Supermarket in Milpitas, CA. They are still important if you want to buy groceries and cook delicious meals at home.

    As shocking as it may be, this particular Asian supermarket may be the worst of the worst when it comes to me stepping foot in.... No refrigeration was working or being used the way that it should have. Items we're being stored randomly in the fridges and was simply very awkward. There was a lingering stench that I can only assuming came from this mess. While there were a couple of snacks I was intrigued by, everything else was just okay. There were plenty of empty slots in the shelves throughout the market. I'm not sure if this store is going out of business or possibly gearing up for an upgrade but how things are currently being managed is a complete N-O!! Make your way to the next nearest supermarket, this one is a complete dud!

    Good service and products here, Rice is insanely cheaper than Safeway too. Safeway and similar grocery stores only sell rice in small quantities, but you can get big bags of rice of different types from around the world for cheap.

    Tagged on shelve or basket for $0.89 each on these bone spoons but their systems would scam for higher prices.

    This Lion Market in Milpitas is owned by greedy scammers who post price tag on shelve low prices to attract people to buy then at the check out, you will need to pay 50% more than what you see from their shelve price! I purchased these bone China spoons and their tag prices were on the blue basket for 89 cents each on 6/10 at 2pm. There were 5 of these prices tags for 89 cents on the attached photo. At the check out lane #1, a supervisor/casher (dual roles) scanned at the spoon for $1.29. I then told her it should be 89 cents each as seen on the shelves. She went to the household section to check for the price tag and she told me that is old price and now it is $1.29. I told her your store should honor the price of what customer sees and they said you don't need to buy. She then asked her store assistant/warehouse clerk to make sure to remove that $0.89 price tag. In this scenario both the supervisor and store clerk knew old price was less than a dollar but they still charge at what their "systems" show at and make customer overpaid 50% extra from the original price tag! ( I brought 5 spoons and they made me overpaid $2.) This store has so many tricky, unfaithful, dishonest supervisor and their staffs grouping together to trick customers to overpay their groceries and home goods! The manager does not honor their price and put blame on customers by overcharging. Also this Vietnamese owned grocery store inside smell like rotten dead mice, my clothes was smell like dead meat after short staying of shopping. I highly doubt of their quality of safety and hygiene on meat and fruit. I would suggest people to shop at H-Mart, Osaka Market, or any other Korean market chains for their fresh produce, honest, and polite customer services.

    Bought brand new today date 05/13/2021  Piece of shit doesn't even work and cant return!

    Guess what? The Shokku Bakery inside Hashi Market is finally open now. Asian breads $1.99 per piece…read moreand sliced cakes for $3.99 each. Walnut bread loaf looked much smaller here. They are starting to add more pastries and the displays are looking good, especially with the sesame buns and cheesy tarts, etc. I'm surprised that they are trying to beat pastry prices in the area and it's definitely looking good here. Decent prices and good looking pastries. Still feels like a startup though. Cashiers are training and doing their jobs. Hashi Market has been upgrading too. I purchased 3 large bags of dumplings for only $10. It was a good sale this weekend. Celery pork/leek-scallions pork/cilantro chicken/etc. I think their fresh vegetables have dropped in prices too ($1.49-$2.99 per lbs.). Finally. I come here for tofu selections too. You can also find good 1liter healthy coconut water for under $3 each now. Hashi Market is slowly improving and training more new employees inside. This grocery store is convenient and they have made the aisles more spacious to walk around. Food deli area is still operating. I think the place is much better now compared to when it was the Marina grocery store in past years. Japanese products are showing up more and things are more positive here. I'll be back to try a few more breads/buns. $1.99 for good looking breads is cheap and decent here.

They said they had to check the camera and could not do it at that time, so they asked me to go home and wait for a call ( pork feet were sold by the pound, it would be very unlikely for two separate purchases to have the exact same weight and price ) 5 DAYS later, they finally called and said they had checked the camera and would refund me when I came back. I did get my money back, but I think the way they handled such a simple mistake was very unprofessional and wasted a lot of my time I had a similar issue at 99 Ranch with a more expensive item, and they refunded me immediately If you shop here, check your receipt before leaving to avoid wasting time like I did

This supermarket is located inside the Park Victoria Plaza in Milpitas, California. It seems like this is a Vietamese run and owned supermarket, with a select few staff who also speak Chinese, as well. This is a very older supermarket in a smallish shopping center, but also has plenty of parking spaces. The inside is very old, and could really use a remodel to make it more modern, but for a supermarket, it does the job. The cleanliness isn't quite there compared to a 99 Ranch Market or other chain supermarket, but thus one seems like a single location, non chain. The prices here are pretty reasonable, especially for the fruits, not sure how they are able to compete with other stores and offer fruits are relatively low low prices. Oranges are $0.49 LB! These is the cheapest I've seen, even previously, they've offered them at $0.39 LB too. Again, not sure how they can sell them so cheap! We also really like the Fried Tofu they sell here for $4.99, the only supermarket that sells this kind. It's large sized, fried square tofu puffs. We get this every visit we come here. They sell alot too! The customer service here is really non-existent, meaning there is basically none, unless you speak their language, which is vietnamese. They automatically start talking to you in vietnamese, not much english with the cashiers, although they do understand basic english. Plenty of parking in the lot, so no worries there and they also have plenty of shopping carts for customers to use. However, I wish they would provide some shopping cart corrals for the parking lot, so customers have a place to return it after use. Overall, just a 3 star. Basic supermarket, nothing spectacular.
