A small market with a variety of Asian products located in a stip mall, with the added bonus of being connected to a Peruvian Market. This is my mom's go to spot for Indonesian spices. I joined her on her last visit and walked through the tightly spaced aisles to discover that there is a small meat counter in the back and a small produce area as well. Prices are fair and the variety of products is good. We were in need of a particular item and the owner was helpful in leaving the register to help us find it. Just fun to browse if you're in the area. Next time, I'll check out the Peruvian Market.

3 inch alfajore...$1 each. That's pretty cheap! 4.75 stars!

Stumbled upon this place as I was looking for Chinese broccoli. Most Asian groceries that would have this would be near the OC area and I wasn't trying to go that distance since I was already in this area. This is a small market that sells ethnic grocery items; from Chinese broccoli, to Peruvian spices. It's not like a Whole Foods, so don't expect glamour. The last time I came here, they were selling these giant alfajores for like $1 (or was it $2)? Either way, alfajores are usually more expensive than that. The coconut flakes outside give it a nice balance. Go for your sweet tooth. Go for your ethnic grocery needs! The end.

Great selection of Thai curry paste. Authentic and only $1.19/can
Cyn L.

I've driven by this market for years and never stopped in. After seeing a picture of Thai curry paste posted on yelp, I decided to stop in. I was a little confused after parking in the lot because there seemed to be several doors leading in. I wasn't sure if I was walking into the right market, but found out that they all lead to the same place. There's a bakery/deli on one end, meat market towards the back, produce displayed out front and in the middle of the market, and spices and canned goods towards the left. The market appears to cater to different nationalities. I asked a gentleman at the counter if he had Thai curry paste and he directed me to aisle 3 on the left side. I was so surprised to see such a variety of the Maesri brand of paste, which I discovered watching YouTube as being one of the better brands. I had tried their green and red curry pastes recently and it really took my curry making to another level. I selected 8 cans of different pastes and felt like I won the lottery since I've been on the hunt for this brand for a while. I found their produce section and picked up Thai basil for only 99 cents a bunch. I saw other items that you would only find in an Asian market, such as Thai eggplants and bananas which looked like apple bananas that I only get to eat in Hawaii. The cashier who rang me up was so friendly and said if I ever wanted something, he'd be sure to help me. I wasn't sure if he meant that he'd help locate it in the store, or if he'd order it for me. It was a nice gesture nonetheless. He also told me that they had a seafood section in the back and fry fish for free. I'm so glad that I read all of the positive yelp reviews for Saigon Market and dropped in today. I know I'll be back.

Just a little sample of the items that I found at this store

I just spent over $200 for lots of spices, condiments, snacks, and frozen food given that I'm more serious in cooking due to this lockdown. They have amazing choices primarily for Southeast Asian and Peruvian ingredients. Amazon charges premium price for stuff you find here such as lime leaves, galangal, lemongrass, shrimp paste, and different variety of sambal. Additionally, you can also buy fresh meat and seafood as they have a butcher standby as well. Check my haul at this store here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pubW2X-HTIo&t=1s

a can of vietnamese style coffee next to a can of vietnamese style coffee
Isabella G.

I stopped by this market while waiting for my Vietnamese food next door. I am so impressed, not only do they have Vietnamese items but they have other Asian items too such as Thai and Filipino desserts, seasonings, meats and veggies. I got Vietnamese coffee and Thai iced tea.

Cheaper than Amazon.com.

Do you have Asian pear?

I've never seen them here. So far I've had to go all the way to S-Mart in Torrance for those.

The selection of seasonings is impressive, and I love that I can grab everything from oxtails to blue crabs in one clean, decently sized indoor store. Prices are reasonable, and the variety of fruits, drinks, and ethnic snacks makes every trip feel like a mini cultural adventure. Service is generally solid--though be prepared to wait a bit at the meat and seafood counters during peak times. But let's be real... it's worth it. Pro tip: Don't leave without trying the fried fish. They fry it fresh while you wait, and it's hands-down my favorite part of the trip.

They're popular for their fried fish. While the Vietnamese selection is smaller than other Vietnamese grocery stores, it had everything my mom needed (which is often the herbs). The prices were also fair. I am glad this market exists so I don't have to drive as far to Westminster area to get my Vietnamese essentials. The bad: It's not the neatest looking market inside. It could updated, more modern and cleaner. The interesting: They fry the fish for free for you up until 10 minutes before closing time.

My friend and I went by Tokyo Central over the weekend and loved it…read more We may like it a bit better than Mitsuwa, don't tell anyone! It's a massive two story building in Gardena with groceries and a conveyor belt sushi sit-down restaurant on the second floor. They have a large parking lot that is usually fine but can get wild on the weekends as it wraps around the building - instead of just being a huge open lot or garage. They carry many Hawaiian items, in addition to Japanese products from eats to skincare. Their grab & go sandos are pretty good - both the pork katsu sando and the egg salad sandwiches are tasty. They have a hot buffet so you can try up to 20 different items for a by the pound price. The Gindaco counter in the food section has takyoyaki (fried octopus balls) which are popular here. Love this market and will always make a point of stopping in when I'm nearby!

This is definitely one of my favorite stores, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality Asian groceries and fresh prepared foods!

They have a food court, a bakery that looked ridiculously good, and a huge grocery selection. I kept finding sauces and products I hadn't seen at other Japanese markets. But the prepared-food section was what really got me. Everything looked incredibly fresh. The onigiri alone had me wanting to start grabbing things even though I had literally just eaten. I basically walked around realizing I need to come back hungry because there's way too much here that I want to try. Definitely one of those markets I could accidentally spend way too much time in. One thing I would not lock yet: the Japanese market's name. From your description I know exactly which experience you're talking about, but I don't want to guess the business name and attach the review to the wrong place. Also, before we redo Big Dan's, I'd check whether you already reviewed it since you think you may have.

I like this store and shop it often. It has things good, average, bad and very bad…read more Things I would call very good are breads, meats, spices and things in the cooler at the front of the meat case like hummus, olives, pickles. By the way, the Jon's hummus is outstanding. I've had smoother, more this or that. Theirs is exceptionally well balanced for my taste. I think papa cristos just barely tasted better, no more now though. Average stuff is dairy, produce. The hot food thing to the right of the entrance was very good at one time. It closed and reopened, now the people who run it are not friendly to put it mildly. Parking very bad. The slots are just too narrow to park, open your door and get out. Forget about trying to open your door wide enough to load groceries. There's 2 or 3 spots I can manage but if they're taken, too bad, I go somewhere else. Deli counter very very bad. Previously I had asked for something cut thick and I wanted to see how thick it's being cut. She shows it to me so I can't see the edge. I walk over to the side to look, she turns it so now I walk back to where I was, she turns it again, I surrendered. Today I get my number and wait. One of them hollers next instead of a number. I know I arrived after the woman to my right so I wait. When they holler next again I hold up my number and tell him here, and what I want. A woman who arrived after me asks him how does she know when it's her turn, I say she's next after me. He proceeds to stop my request and go get what she wants. Well that's it for me. I don't care if you might decide to sell 5 cent lobsters, I'm done. Cashiers always friendly and professional, very good. I haven't seen him in a while. There was some guy pushing a dust mop. Either get out of his way or get hit with the mop. Trying to buy something locked up, major fail. I needed something like aspirin, I waited a very long time, finally gave up. If you feel adventurous they have the odd things like rabbit, lamb AND mutton, duck hot dogs, odd cheeses, sausages of all kinds from all over, odd foreign ice cream. I will continue to shop there, when I can park, for things I know are good. The deli counter is now a wall. No reason to look in that direction at all.
