Closest place to get my Korean tuna and not drive all the way to hmart. Plenty of great cuts of meat, frozen options, fresh fruits and veggies! Huge sashimi portion Clean Short check out lines Cons: I got some chicken thigh, when i came home to cook it smelled really bad, odor of spoiled chicken which I wasn't too happy about. Kimbap wasnt the tasiest A little bit on the pricier side, however they do have weekly sales.

If I had to make a "gems of Fremont" or even a "gems of the Bay Area" list, this place would be…read moreamong my top picks. Why? Because you can't get freshly baked Middle Eastern / Levantine pastries just anywhere in the Bay! If you've been to a Yemeni coffeeshop in the Bay Area, especially if it's in the East Bay, you might have seen this bakery's fatayer and manakeesh sold there since they supply a bunch of the coffeeshops. They bake all day and you can stop by at any given time and find freshly made pastries sitting on the table by the bakery section. In terms of selection, they generally have different types of fatayer (spinach, beef, chicken, cheese, more recently potato), manakeesh, lahm bi ajeen (soft flatbreads with a meat and tomato mixture on top), and chicken musakhan rolls. They don't always have every item available but they'll let you know what's in the oven. The pastries are 6 for $15 currently. They freeze well too. I've been here often and the customer service has always been friendly.

Osaka Marketplace, Fremont…read more Service is always great and they have a great selection of pre-made meals! They have a small food court located on the side of the supermarket, very convenient to sit down and eat. I usually come here for their fresh rolls, Japanese bento plates and onigiris. Although still fresh, their deals for their 20% off are always a steal. I thought it was a weekday deal but found out it's daily and around 5pm. I ended up getting their Mr. Crazy Roll which consist of sashimi salmon and uni over California rolls. It was delicious! I always love coming here for their beauty products and anything cute like Hello Kitty or random lunch bags. A friend had asked me if they accepted EBT and currently no, they don't accept EBT as payment. Would return and highly recommend this place!

This used to be Marina, a fairly big Asian grocery store. Actually the outside still says "marina"…read morebut the receipt says Hashi and there are enough changes that tells me some slight changes have been made. This is actually my 'preferred' Asian grocery for my area...now. The produce department is significantly better/fresher than when it was Marina. Back in the Marina days, the produce were borderline sketchy, cheap yes, but if you found something, you better use/eat it within a few days, or else it may rot on you. Not here, most choices now seem fresher and sturdier. And still quite cheap, especially if there is a sale. 80% of my haul here is from this produce area to stock my kitchen for the week of a vegetable/fruit rich diet/habbit. I'm loving it! The Seafood area still seems quite the same. Marina was not bad in this department and Hashi is maintaining the choices and quality. I'll usually get something from the fresh seafood case as well. But if I want something more exotic or more premium then I'll have to go to another city like New Sang Chong in San Leandro or HMart in the south bay. The Meat section seems the same, maybe a tad cleaner in processing than when it was Marina. Things seem more cleanly cut and stacked. And the bulk meat you get by the pound behind the case are pretty darn inexpensive, especially for pork and chicken. If making a big family style dish I'll go here over Lucky's or Safeway most times. Pork Spareribs for $3/lb, boneless skinless chicken breast for $2/lb on special, and $3/lb for ground beef, ka mon brah, just can't beat those! Dry Goods the same as Marina, just maybe stocked a bit more. Marina had more holes/gaps in their shelves. So I have been coming in more since the changes cuz they have been working for me. So a positive change in the neighborhood...I gotta show my support and approval.

Hashi Market opened 7 months ago where Marina Market was and still is in name only. (Exterior name…read morehasn't changed). Very busy parking lot as usual. Delivery trucks parked in the passing lanes didn't help. Curious to view changes if any. The deli and eatery section isn't open. Only a travel agency occupies a vendor space. Entire left side isn't utilized. Big aisles with most shelves filled with goods at reasonable prices. Mexican, American, and Asian products sold. Medicines & hard liquors sold in front. Special section with products for Lunar New Year also in front. Sad to see only one register open. Didn't look for specials. May return at a future date when I have more time. Majority of shoppers were Chinese.

After a day of running errands, my brother was giving me a ride home when he says, "I need to get…read moresome flatbread..." I remembered a place on Jackson Street that I had gone to 5 years ago that had a tremendous selection - looked it up on Yelp and it was no longer on Jackson, but was listed in Castro Valley. So we went thought we'd go by and give it a try. Great decision! The "new" store in Castro Valley is much brighter, cleaner, nicer than the old location. I think the old location had more stuff from Eastern Europe, but this new location seems to have a broader selection, with more stuff from Western Europe and the Middle East. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and helpful - always willing to answer questions and even give tips on how to use the products that they sell. And his recommendations have been great - we asked him about which tahini and zaatar to get (they have many different brands/types of each...) and the ones he recommended have been way tastier than any of the brands that you find in most markets. Especially good was his recommendation on lebnah - he said that the brands they carry are all good, but they have some that they package in-house that was special. I tried it - it was less expensive than the other brands, but was the very best lebnah that I have ever tasted! Richer, creamier, with just the right amount of tang. Wonderful stuff! Anyway, Crossroads is a nice, clean, well-lit place with a great selection of unique products, and friendly, knowledgeable sales staff. Well worth a trip!

It's sold cafeteria style and there are tables to eat at but to go works great too. The service is fast. The line moves pretty quickly... Then there is the store that hosts a vast array of fresh shell fish and fish as well as meats. They also have a huge Asian frozen section, veggies and canned and other types of foods section. It's not cheap but it appears to be fresh. So far I'm loving visiting. There is something new I discover every time I walk in.

No carts fit in here so don't think you will do your weekly shopping here. When you walk in, you are hit with the smell of the meat department. I don't know they may need better air circulation here. Product looks good, they have a small selection but they have some. I mostly go here when I need tortillas which they have a large selection of good brands. Parking sucks here! I don't use the parking lot here. Aside from it being small it is one way each way and people just back out without looking which is horrifying! Park on the street where the post office is or across the street, there is a huge shopping center with tons of parking. It's a lot safer. The cashiers are friendly and fast. They offer frsh products at the front sometimes like tamales and fresh squeezed juice. This place is not bad for me and close that's why I go.

L O C A T I O N Royal Food Market is located on Washington Blvd. in this tiny plaza that has a couple of other restaurants.

I N S I D E It's not a large market but if you're looking for specific Russian or eastern european/mediterranean type of spices or food, then definitely come here. They have their spices in the back.
