I am no stranger to Thuan Phat El Monte Superstore. I have been here many times in previous years…read more It is a huge Asian supermarket comparable to other Asian supermarkets such as 99 Ranch, San Gabriel Superstore, GW or Great Wall Supermarket, etc. Free parking is plenty in the front and back of the store. There are individual merchandise and food vendors along the front inside of store. They carry many different international dry goods, perishable food items, fresh produce, meat and seafood, frozen items, and so much more. You can spend hours shopping here. Most recently, my Mom and I came to checkout the sugarcane juice vendor. We got ourselves one large cup with ice for $7. It is $12 if you want no ice. You have to pay more money if you want all juice. Sugarcane juice tasted refreshing and sweet. I would get it again with no ice next time. I may just bring my own ice or drink it as is.

You can find imported Indonesian snacks, desserts, drinks and MORE!!! AMBIANCE: 10/10 Love the grocery mart vibes!!! I didn't get here in time for the SHU MAI so sad!!!! WE WILL BE BACK!!!

They have varieties of Asian snacks, herbal items, fresh vegetables, drinks, kitchenware, frozen items (meat/seafood, desserts, etc).

They offer free samples and tea to disarm and make you to drop your guard, then proceed to give you more than, a lot more, you asked for. I guess you need to be firm, take it at your own pace and ignore their shadowing (very pushy) . I pretty much tell them in the loud voice on the spot to stop loading into the bags. As result, they gave me pretty much what I asked for. Upon payment, they will tell you if you buy a bit more, you will get freebies. Turned that down! In any case, I walked out happy without feeling of gotten ripped off. I'll enjoy the food.

This review is for their hot foods only. I wouldn't recommend their grocery items because it's…read moreseemingly more expensive than other Japanese markets I've been to. Having gone to mitsuwa and Tokyo central countless times, Tozai really hits the spot when it comes to affordable Japanese food that actually tastes good. My only complaint is that their rice seems a bit overcooked. It's too mushy for my liking. Teriyaki chicken - extremely generous with the rice. The teriyaki chicken actually has a char taste to it which adds so much flavor to the chicken. There isn't too much teriyaki sauce, which I like. Tempura bento - really loved the tempura in here. Everything was fried just right. The batter is crispy and light. It's not greasy at all. The side dishes were delicious. The fried wontons were good but the fried shumai had a bit of a porky taste to it. California rolls - probably the best I've had in a Japanese market. The rice actually has a slight vinegar taste to it, which is lacking at other places. Croquette - it's meatless but still so good. It's potato only but has an occasional cheesy fragrance to it. Definitely coming back again for the food

Great Wall Supermarket is located on the corner of San Gabriel Blvd and Garvey and is in the same…read moreplaza with a dozen other businesses. The parking lot is huge but still seems inadequate for the number of cars/patrons in the area. The GW Supermarket is "open" so there's no walls separating market from other business stalls. The area has a bakery, trinket shops and a food court that well liked by customers. I see streams of people weekdays and weekends. What I liked was finding some special edition Yeo Chrysanthemum drinks linking to Chinese New Year (very cute) and sales on lucky red envelopes. The Great Wall is smaller than other Asian supermarkets in the area, which makes everything feel really cramped and crowded. The aisle is tight so movement with two - three carts can be challenging. The selection of variety of anything is limited so I can see the lower-than-normal rating. Overall, GW calls the basics and gives the community another market option rather than driving further into SGV.

So happy that I was finally able to visit this little market!…read more FYI, there's no photos allowed inside (didn't realize until a bit too late, sorry!). There's 1 hour parking in front and coming mid day on a Wednesday, there was no crowd whatsoever. Yes, there's lots of things that you can find cheaper at any other market, but be smart about it, YOU'RE NOT HERE FOR THAT. You're here for the fancy imported stuff that you CANNOT get anywhere else. There were so many interesting Japanese sweets and snacks that I have NOT seen at Tokyo Central, Marukai, Mitsuwa, Seiwa Mart, or Nijiya and that is SAYING A LOT as a weeb who goes to them so, so often. Lots of chips, candies, cookies, etc that I have only seen here. There are LOTS of really fancy, kinda pricey, but super bougie things like $98 rice, $150 (Mother's Day special) crown Japanese melons, wagyu steak cuts, etc. You'd be hard pressed to find some of these things elsewhere without paying the import shipping prices yourself. Some highlights of what I got were: Sakura Matcha Pocky (entire pack of them, much lighter in flavor and slightly sweeter than their regular matcha flavor), Disney lollipops (only 79 cents for these, super cute packaging and nice flavors. PERFECT for my friends who work at Disney and can get almost everything else Disney that isn't from overseas), and spicy hot chips and spicy curry chips (I ate like 3 pieces of these and my dad inhaled the rest of it lol). For produce, I got the Golden Fuji Apples (around $8+), lightly sweet, great color, and very crisp, a $12 cantaloupe like melon (a worker there told me to leave it at room temp for 2-3 more days so it's the best for eating, very sweet, and less seeds & more fruit), and a pack of large Driscoll strawberries (very, very sweet and only slightly tart, great color). There definitely was a language barrier between me and the cashier, but she was super nice, friendly, and helpful. I also got some freebie snacks to try out! Thank you ! Definitely worth stopping by to check out or if you want to splurge on some of the high quality stuff. I'm gonna come back again and see if I can just buy those boxes of Disney lollipops lol...

0!!! This was one of the most disgusting and disturbing experiences I have ever had with a…read morerestaurant. The food appeared contaminated and unsafe, and after eating it, there were serious concerns about food poisoning. No family, especially one with children at home, should ever have to go through something like this. The sanitation conditions seemed horrifying. There were signs of insects and filth, and it felt as if unsanitary conditions existed in every corner of the business. A restaurant that handles food this way should not be allowed to continue operating without a full health inspection. What made this even worse was the staff's attitude. Instead of taking responsibility, they responded with hostility and intimidation. Most shocking of all, there were threats involving immigration status, including statements about cooperating with ICE and having customers deported. That kind of behavior is outrageous, abusive, and completely unacceptable. No business should ever try to silence or intimidate customers this way. This is not just bad service. This is a serious public health and safety concern. I strongly urge the health department and relevant authorities to investigate this business immediately. People deserve to know the truth before more customers, especially children, get sick.
