I had this review in drafts for a little more over a month, and it's high time I give this the praise it deserves. The market itself is rather quaint. It's in the back of the library there, and it's a fun little joint. There's a-lot of fresh produce to be had and a plethora of foods from different backgrounds to try. Granted, the produce is a bit pricey, but the quality is definitely a guarantee. Food wise? They got pastries, and various dishes of many cultures. I can't say for sure which are recurring but honestly I have no complaints. Not much I can say there but it's decent. Overall? Not a bad market! Give it a visit sometime!

I stopped by a strawberry vendor, and honestly, they were the best strawberries we've ever had--so fresh, perfectly ripe, and nothing like the ones from the supermarket. We also picked up some kefir yogurt nearby that totally exceeded our expectations. It was a bit more expensive than usual, but definitely worth the price.

There are also independent food stands open that makes great food and sometimes they also have caramel popcorn stands where it tastes great to bring home. Just this Saturday, Oct 10th, I did see some cute cats in cages most likely a pet adoption pop up. FYI - The streets are closed in the morning for awhile so if you need to get to businesses on B Street you have to go around to patronize them. Overall, its a wonderful addition to Hayward that still is going strong after all of these years. Just be sure to bring your own cart and bags :) I see no shortage of people doing so :)

This fish market has been around for awhile, and is always my first stop when buying live crabs…read more The prices were jacked up for Chinese New Year, but that's OK. The crabs were separated by size, and priced according. You don't have to speak Chinese to buy anything here. For example, today I bought a live crab. I waved the man over, told him I wanted 1 crab, and pointed to the one I wanted. Let him do the work, you really don't want to stick your hand in a tank full of live crabs! Make sure your crab has all it's legs. If there's any dead crabs, they are usually cheaper. This store also has a variety of seafood, including live fish. Also, they offer vegetables in front of the store. Located on 8th Street, between Webster St and Franklin in the heart of Chinatown.

Out of all the live seafood markets in that area, this is my favorite because of their vast selections and fair pricing. I have bought live fish, shrimp, crabs etc. on many occasions and have never had a bad experience. Unlike some dishonest merchants, they don't do stupid things such as selling you crabs with one claw or adding extra water to your bag so that they can squeeze a few more bucks out of you. Aside from the ordinary fare, they also have more exotic items, such as Alaskan king crab, geoducks, frogs etc., from time to time. The best time to go is mid-morning. That's when their daily delivery arrives. The staff is pretty friendly. They do understand basic English so it should not be a problem for non-Chinese customers.

The staff is super friendly, they're open every day, and y'all... two FULL bags of fruits and veggies for less than $30! Safe to say, I found my new gem. This is officially my produce market.

Green Valley Produce has been around for at least 20+ years but first time visiting after a 6 year…read moreabsence. I believe new owners and gentleman working was friendly and welcoming. I mainly visited for the fresh roasted peanuts which was the big draw here over the years. Sizes ranging from a small, medium to large bag @ $3.99/lb. The medium will get you a lb. Not sure when they were roasted but still good. Green Valley Produce is a small open store/stand offering fruits, some veggies, (no fresh herbs) and Middle Eastern spices, some vacuum-sealed meats, lentils, olive oils, dates, and some all meat puff pastry and vegetarian pies made locally. I left with some okra, yams, garlic, ginger spices, homemade beef pies...and of course, roasted peanuts. *** Overall 3.5 stars *** Pricing on fruit reasonable considering I just went to the Farmer's Market and noticed Green Valley selling the same Cara Cara oranges for 1.89/lb vs $3.89/lb which will get ya 4 oranges! I'm all for supporting small business but sheesh! Open 7 days a week from 830am - 730pm I wouldn't go out of your way to stop by unless you're wanting some roasted peanuts, reasonably-priced fruit and veggies and in the area. Support small business! Plenty of lot parking in front and located off B Street, next block over from Grocery Outlet

I have to give them 5 stars. They are located in the Hayward Amtrak parking lot across from Cannery…read morepark. I'm glad to see they've made additional use of this space and it's being used by locals. They started this market up during the pandemic and most weren't aware they were over here. They are generally here most weekends, Saturdays, and Sundays. Sometimes just Saturdays, just Sundays, or here both Saturday & Sunday. It's locals & definitely Bay. They generally have a DJ over here playing music (Mostly Bay Area music. Love it!). They have what most farmers markets have, but maybe because they are relatively new it feels more local & authentic. They have food vendors, clothing vendors, dessert, accessories and much more. I'm local, and when able to support locally I will at every chance. Cheers in Hayward!

This is 1 of 2 grocery shops for the Yet Sun Market in Oakland Chinatown. It is located on 8th St,…read morenext to the Franklin St intersection (which is across the street from Chase Bank if you need an ATM to get cash for your Oakland Chinatown shopping). Note: This small grocery store does accept credit card and some digital payments with a $20 minimum purchase. They have very affordable prices and good deals for their limited selections of produce displayed outside. Inside the store is a refrigerated/frozen aisle of limited meat/poultry/seafood, and a few water tanks filled with live fish/seafood for sale. When I walked by today, I noticed they had a package of 16 oz (1 lb) strawberries for only $1.00! So I swiftly picked up a box and started browsing their produce outside, and meat/seafood available inside. Prices are comparable to other small Oakland Chinatown grocery stores around the block (e.g. $2/lb shanghai bok choy etc). In the refrigerated sections for poultry (fresh chicken, goose, duck) prices ranged from $1+ per lb of assorted chicken pieces, and $15 to $46 for whole poultry. There are some pork ribs, meatballs (fish or beef, chicken, etc), and branded tofu for sale too. They also have a handful of tanks filled with live fish/seafood. Today I saw live bass ($12.99/lb), live tilapia ($6.99/lb), and another live fish for $5.99/lb (sign was in chinese so I couldn't read it, see photo for more details). Overall a good spot to grab affordable deals on seasonal produce, fresh poultry, and live fish. The produce area outside was decently organized and not overwhelming. Inside the store was also organized well and there were no strong or apparent odors of seafood or meat which may be typical of a market-style butcher shop. I would definitely stop by to see what they have fresh/seasonally, the next time I am in Oakland Chinatown. And especially if I need to purchase a fresh (unfrozen) whole duck or goose for a special recipe.
