This place is a very good place to go because there are a lot of live fish and a lot of lobsters…read moreand blue crabs and there are a lot of snacks to like the Choco pie and chips like lays and Chinese lays and Japanese kit kat and moon cakes.

Happy Promise custard cream cakes from Korea, Hello Kitty mini puddings from Taiwan, garlic (or…read morewasabi, take your pick) crispy peas from the good ol' PROC... Huy Fong Vietnam Chili Garlic sauce in a jar.... Hong Kong moon cakes in mini tins within a beautiful gift tin. Quail eggs, duck eggs (fresh or pickled), bok choy, bean sprouts, exotic greens. Dried noodles, dried peppers, dried shrimp. "Houston Cowboy" brand flavored soda from the Philippines. Spare ribs, pork loin, ground pork, pork hearts, a whole pig's head looking right at me from the butcher section. A wall of frozen foods, didn't study them but I did notice pot stickers (imported from an Asian country, needless to say). English as a second (or third) language on every can, box and bag. Oh.... and Tiger Balm! It's a fully complete small local independent super mart. As a native New Yorker of Italian and Polish descent, I'd call this store THE most authentic, and complete, Asian mart in the area ... perhaps the only one, too? Been here twice, the other shoppers were all Asians, as were the staff. Felt like I was back on Main Street in Flushing for a while. Which is cool. The first time we stopped in, I bought a small jar of that chili garlic sauce, which is made by the same folks who bring you Sriracha rooster sauce. In fact the jar has the same rooster logo. Never saw it anywhere else and wanted to try it. That jar got used up PDQ so we came back today for the large economy size. And of course grabbed some other goodies as well. Gotta love those happy Asian cakes, cookies, and crunchies. Prices were more than reasonable, if you're looking to stock up on any type of Asian goods, I'd say skip Jungle Jim and come here instead. Friendly employees/owners, too, who seemed happily amused by my enthusiasm for Hello Kitty - and my reaction to the pig's head. Ahh, would that we had a similar ITALIAN mart within striking distance! I continue to hope and dream. This place is meant to be Asian, though, and since Asian it is, and a complete market, five stars it is.

Had fun at Jungle Jim's in Fairfield. The place is huge and fun and somewhat overwhelming. All…read moreSorts of countries represented. Candy and sauces, meats live seafood, chips and other snacks. 10,000's of square feet of shopping. Great stop. Be ready to spend money.

Jungle Jim's lives up to its reputation as the Disneyland of grocery stores. For the best Bay Area…read morecomparison, it would be like if you took Berkeley Bowl and made it the size of two Costcos and gave it Trader Joe's vibes. It really has products from all around the world. When we arrived, we didn't know about the giraffe and rhino entrance system, so we parked in the front and entered through the rhino entrance. Apparently, the rhino entrance is optimized for shoppers coming here for everyday necessities and the giraffe entrance is optimized for the full experience. Ultimately, the store is all connected so it doesn't really matter, but you may save yourself a few steps by going to the back parking lot and entering through the giraffe entrance if you want to explore the whole store. They have an extensive beer, wine, and liquor section, though we didn't buy anything as we were going to Louisville next and wouldn't have space in our luggage for an extra bottle. The international section is huge. Based on my experience, I would say that for each individual country, the spread of packaged goods doesn't quite reach the level of a full Asian supermarket, but the selection is about as good as an ethnic corner store. Still, there's no other store in the country quite like this; Berkeley Bowl doesn't have the breadth or depth of coverage. Now, one area where Berkeley Bowl shines is in produce; while Jungle Jim's has a very extensive produce section including international produce, I would consider them a tie in terms of variety, despite the former's much smaller footprint. Now, they do keep it local as well. They sell various brands of canned Cincinnati chili, frozen goetta, Cincinnati-made whisky, and Cincinnati-roasted coffee. We got several bags of coffee from at least three unique local roasters, generally roasted within the last 1-2 months. After getting home and tasting it, it was very good. Overall, prices can be a bit steep, but it's worth it for hard-to-find items that you can't get anywhere else. There are also some sale and clearance items where you can snag a good deal.
