Vietnamese espresso maker AND separate parts if you're like me and you lose your plunger
Virginia T.

This is my go-to place to get random Asian kitchen knick knacks as well as restaurant grade supplies. As a restaurant supply store, this place has quintessential restaurant items like Anna Kendrick plastic cups, cutlery, pots large enough to cook a small child, and rice steamers only ever used in a restaurant. But at the same time, they stock the hard-to-find items that only my Asian mom would have ever known where to procure like Vietnamese espresso drips (they even have replacement plungers!), ear cleaners, shallow plastic tubs to wash your small child, and red money envelopes! I bought a 30 lb mortar and pestle here once. Surprisingly friendly service given the demographics of its main clientele.

I can't wait to come back to MV Trading Co to stock up on cute Asian style plates. Want a rice cooker for $15 or a set of 20 chop sticks for $3, than this is the place to go. Bring some hand-sanitizer because you are really going to need it after walking through here. My sister, friend and I spent about 30min walking up the aisles looking at everything. My sister and I reminisced about our childhoods while we played with the Asian thing pilled high in every corner. Basically, if you want anything for your household, this is the place to get it cheap. I'm not going to guarantee that it's actually going to work so I guess you are taking a bit of a risk. My rice cooker works so I guess that's something. But there is a no return on anything policy so that's a bit scary. The two men who were working in the shop at the time of my visit were totally unhelpful. One of them watched TV throughout my entire visit. I had to ask about 5 times before the other guy helped me pull something off a high shelf. But it's just all so cheap!!!

See all

Do they sell plain pizza boxes?

Do they accept returns for refunds or merchandise credit?

Is this store open? I called their number, but no one picked up.

Firstly, the store is open to the public. I looked for some signs, but there was nothing posted,…read morebut ask and the answer was a resounding yes. I give five stars to any place that convinces me I need that bit of kitchen equipment. Not just replacements or duplicates, I mean stuff that does not exist in my kitchen. I have limited space in my kitchen and I do my best to avoid nonessentials. And there are not too many holes in my kitchen inventory. Since this is a restaurant supply store, I figured most of the equipment would be inappropriate for a home kitchen. And mostly it was. I really don't need paper napkins 5000 at a time. But every now and then I saw something that you don't normally see for the home cook. Now the restaurant size woks and pots were to be expected. What I didn't expect was the equipment that's clearly meant to cook individual size portions. Literally these were the cutest little woks I've ever seen. These were also the only woks where I had even the faintest chance of executing that professional chefs flip. I gave it a whirl and no luck. It's still too heavy for me. They did have some items that were on clearance. Now these prices are perfectly in line with other stores, possibly even lower. But way too late, I already have those. What a bummer. There's some stuff that automatically incited lust. But I already know this type of equipment should never be installed in a residential kitchen. For example, they had gas burners for restaurants. I seriously doubt anyone would run the gas pipes that you need to fuel these burners. I think they would violate most residential building codes. Nevertheless, they're awesome kitchen porn. I found the mix of kitchen equipment very interesting. The percentage of items that were clearly of Asian origin was very large. Here are all the missing doodads that *some* Asian markets should be stocking... Have you ever been frustrated purchasing equipment, where the plastic bits like the lids keep breaking and you can't find the replacements? Take a look at this place, the containers are standardized and so are the lids. Finally. I ran across some truly unexpected items. A lot of them were things you never think of like replacement knobs for pots, replacement wooden handles for woks. And you know those traditional brushes that your mom insist is the only way to clean a wok properly? They had it. They had it in the extra extra extra large size, but they had it. And sometimes it was just little things like the kitchen gloves that look like they would survive a tornado. Unfortunately, they were all latex and I'm allergic to latex. Oh well. Of course, there are the bits of equipment that are only useful in the home kitchen and obviously they are completely missing. Sometimes professionalism is too big of price to pay for giving up traditional cookware. If you're just glancing at the prices, they seem awfully high. But take the time to pull out the item and hold it in your hands. There is no doubt it will be heavier and probably has some interesting features that you won't find for the home version. Let's just say the wire racks will hold your cookies even if they're made of lead. And just to make my point, there was no nonstick anything anywhere that I could spot. For those of you who are looking for kitchen items that are a little bit out of the way or need something heavier duty than average. This is a great place to shop. On the other hand, many of these items are going to be too large to store easily or even to use if the dimensions of your kitchen equipment don't match. The Customer Service in the store was simply fantastic. They left you alone if you wanted to browse, and there was certainly plenty to browse. If you had questions or if you were getting serious about a purchase, they were happy to answer questions and make recommendations. 100% recommend if you are a kitchen equipment geek. You'll have fun even if you can't use any of it. 50-50 if you are looking for something unusual. Most items are only stocked if they are used in a restaurant kitchen. There's nothing that specifically aimed at home kitchens. For example, there are no kitchen appliances. Inventory fluctuates. I was delighted to find a silicone baking mat, but it only came in the half sheet size. My hopes for a domed wok cover rose high when I saw the display of Asian kitchen utensils. But the only wok covers I saw were clearly meant for the industrial size version and not for my puny home kitchen. I would say the store is not for everyone. If you love kitchen equipment, you'll enjoy browsing here and snagging cookware that you can't find anywhere else. For everyone else, most likely you find it disappointing since most of the equipment can be found in your regular department store except these are heavy duty. you may not want to pay the higher expense for an item that's going to outlive you. Or maybe we should all buy here instead of caving to our culture of consumption.

We went to Restaurant City to look for something specific we needed. We were looking for a splash…read moreguard to use while cooking, but they didn't have any here. We asked an employee, but he didn't know what it was, showed him a picture and he said they don't sell any here. So, overall just a solid 3. They didn't have what we needed.

This is the best restaurant supply store in the bay area for home cooks for both selection and…read moreprice. 1) the home style cuisinart food processors have small motors. They aren't designed for making baby food, almond butter from almonds or grinding frozen meat into paste for making cha lua or hotdogs. Can smell the burning electric motor smell from home appliances. This smell is toxic and emits cancer causing chemicals. The commercial appliances here don't have that problem. Costs more but you have equipment which fits the task. 2) The home pizza ovens which are popular require peels to get the pizze in and out of the 800 degree oven. They sell both metal and wood versions. The pizza stones for home ovens are much cheaper here than Amazon because it costs more to ship heavy items and AMZN adjusts the price to reflect that even though shipping is "free". Prices better than online and you can see the quality of the product. They have both 16 and 12 inch sizes for peels, etc.. The newer lower cost electric/gas home pizza ovens are 12. They have bread baking pans and detroit pizza pans in stock! No need to go online to get them. The long handles for pizza peels make them unattractive for shipping. If they are shipped then price is 2x of what you see here. 3) Cutting boards, they have the fancy John Boos wood cutting board considered by many to be the best made to cheaper and lighter bamboo boards and poly ones. All come in larger sizes. Not the smaller sizes sold in costco. Much better variety here. Same comment as above for pizza stones. Cheaper than online because heavy items are expensive to ship. Will never get a sub $50 price for a large cutting board online but you can here. 4) Kitchen utensils, heat proof spatulas, long handled stainless steel soup spoons, slotted spoons; stainless steel serving tongs, thermometers, everthing 1/3 - 1/4 the cost of williams sonoma with more useful design like longer handles for deep stock pots. WS doesn't sell long handled spoons. spatulas, because most home cooks have cheaper small pots and skillets. 5) steamers, they have larger sized bamboo and stainless steel steamers for making dimsum. The Asian markets have a limited selection of steamers and WS or costco will never sell steamers. Designed for Asian cuisine. Steaming much healthier then other forms of cooking. 6) Glassware, they have the larger Picardie, 16oz+ in stock! They don't break. Most RS stores only sell cheaper imitations but they are the same price and the Picardie glasses here and lousy quality. 7) Plastic serverware; they sell larger dimension plastic serving platters; good for parties or home use. The larger ones made of porcelain are too heavy and difficult to store. They only go up to a certain size because of cost. Recently most serverware is more than 100-300 each because of inflation. They see reduced sales because of the increased prices and most places are transitioning to not carrying these higher cost items.

Excellent selection and friendly knowledgeable service. I have shopped here several times. Home…read moreCook

Noelle's Yelp Notebook 2014…read more I stopped by Goodware Restaurant Supply today with my family. I've seen it many times as we headed to the Costco Gas Station. We found parking easily and entered through the side door. You do not need to be a business/restaurant owner to shop here. It's open to the public. Upon entering the large warehouse you will note the cash register counter on the left hand side of the shop and the right hand side filled with everything under the sun that a restauranteur would need to open up an eatery. We were greeted with friendly smiles by the husband and wife team that own Goodware Restaurant Supply (they were helping ring someone up that was obviously a regular customer). After their regular customer left, they asked us if we needed any help. I told the wife that I was looking for 32 ounce and 16 ounce containers with lids that were BPA, freezer safe, microwave safe and could hold hot soups. Both husband and wife smiled and told me that they have that in stock and that I would have to purchase each by the case. Before I came to Goodware Restaurant Supply, I had already done my pricing of the items I wanted online. I asked how much it was per case and realized it was more than a fair price and decided on those two items. I asked if they had large plastic bins and other items and they were very helpful showing me where the items were which made my shopping trip fast. All of the items in the warehouse were clearly marked with prices that were clear and easy to read. Everything was extremely organized. I was very pleased with the fact that I received excellent customer service, the products I purchased were a good value and they accept debit/credit cards. I don't own a business but I came here primarily for the to go recyclable soup containers. Now, when I make soups or stews and want to share with family and friends I don't have to worry about having enough plastic food containers because I bought two large cases. They also have a great selection of recyclable and biodegradable to-go food containers which I will definitely buy on my next trip (I already have some at home). To-go containers are great for left-overs at parties for my guests. I look forward to shopping here again!

I went to look for an 60qt stockpot and insert to do a seafood broil…read more The lady was helpful but the man was rude. He was $50 over Amz and was arguing that I would have to pay shipping. Not with Prime. He claims that his is commercial and that Amz one was not. It's the same brand. When it came to the burner stand, he wasn't sure if his came with a hose. He said he can open it but he won't open it unless I'm buying it. Why would I buy it if it doesn't have a hose? As I was outside texting my wife, he turned on his blower to blow the dust and leaves off the concrete while I was standing there. That was a bit rude. I just thought I would let you know. I'm trying to support this business but that behavior was wild. Go to Dong Vinh instead. Night and day difference with customer service. I was able to get the 60qt with a proper fitting insert and lid. I went to Cash and Carry for a commercial burner.
