The line at this kiosk was long and we quickly found out why that was the case. The fruit here was incredibly fresh and the staff here filled our bowls with a ton of fruit. The cost for our fruit was fairly inexpensive and we enjoyed our midday snack before stuffing our faces at one of the tacquerias on the grounds.

I feel like if it's gonna be a topping, it needs to be on every piece of mango not just sprinkled like parsley on top. Can't wait to go back and try their other items, there's so much to choose from & it all looks great!

I actually think I enjoy Houston's Chinatown better than the ones in California like SF or LA. Linda's Tropical Fruits is not only a little store where you can get produce and groceries/snacks, but also in the back, they have the drinks and acai bowls! I ended up getting the Super Fruit Slushy, which came with red and white dragon fruit, soursop, Thai banana, and sugar cane juice. It was so delicious and really refreshing! If I got the chance to come back, I would definitely want to try another one of their smoothies and try their acai bowls since those looked so amazing and aesthetic! Definitely a hidden gem :)

It's close to Costco and H-Mart, and near H-Mart you'll also find Paris Baguette and Tous Les Jours. There's an 85°C nearby as well and with Costco right next door, you could easily spend half a day hopping between all these places. On weekends, traffic can be pretty crazy and parking isn't easy since everyone shops then. However, if you come on a weekday especially outside of lunchtime--it's much easier to find a parking spot. Inside 99 Ranch, there's a food court with options like San dong noodles, dim sum, stir-fry dishes, and Chinese barbecue. On the other side of the plaza, there are also several restaurants, including Korean spots and Vietnamese crawfish places. As for the store itself, there are always clearance items near the Kung Fu Tea area, which we usually check out before heading in to shop for fruits, produce, vegetables--pretty much everything. I found my favorite Japanese soy milk but this was banana flavored. Way too sweet for me and it was $4/carton. It's a large store and they offer a loyalty program. If it's your first time visiting 99 Ranch, you could easily spend an hour just roaming the aisles. There's so much to see--it almost feels like a little field trip every time we go.

Absolutely unacceptable experience. I stood at this seafood counter for over 30 minutes being…read morecompletely ignored. At first, this employee told me to wait, which I did patiently. Then he proceeded to help every other customer who walked up after me. When I finally asked what was going on, he suddenly told me I needed to get a number--something that was never mentioned when I first arrived. This was rude, dismissive, and extremely unprofessional. There was zero communication, zero courtesy, and no accountability. Watching someone intentionally skip you after you've been standing there waiting is beyond frustrating and disrespectful. Customer service like this is unacceptable. If you don't want to help customers, you shouldn't be working in a customer-facing role. Management seriously needs to address this behavior because it reflects terribly on the business. I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this place to anyone unless they enjoy being ignored and treated like they don't matter. Completely unprofessional and unacceptable. Ended up going to H-Mart down the street. Much more professional.

Kudos to those Yelpers across Houston area who prepared me to have a better experience. So, I brought my own bags, quarters for the cart and a hope to find something useful. I guess it was wrong to come during the grand opening weekend. I saw many curious shoppers just like me, as they picked up an item from the shelf looking puzzled. I quickly glanced from aisle to aisle but nothing piqued my interest. I felt like shopping at a dollar store - very few brand name products. I was gonna just get a couple of snacks. But once I saw the line zigzagged in the cashier area, I put them back and walked out. Prior to arriving, I did some research online. I know by simply looking at the weekly circular won't lead me to a correct shopping decision. Those advertised items were still too high for me as I'm a careful bargain hunter. Although Aldi is not on my list of preferred destination for weekly grocery, I still consider coming back for the special buy items. I eyed on a few items online at the next week's sale.

But despite that, they're still very fresh which does speak to the level of commitments that the store has in ensuring a fresh supply. They also offer a variety of pressed juices like sugar cane and pennyworth that I was able to try. The sugar cane was very refreshing and not overly sweet. The amount of ice was also fairly appropriate and not overly done. They will try to fulfill your order as quickly as they can, but if they forget, just give them a gentle reminder.

When I stopped by on a weekday evening at 9pm it was packed. They had stations setup throughout the store to order different goods, which helped to alleviate the rush. Knafeh ($6) - They offered 2 types of knafeh, one with cheese and one with custard. I went with the one made with Nabulsi cheese and topped with shredded phyllo, and soaked in sugar syrup. It was warm, crispy and delicious! Karak tea ($5) - This milk tea drink was made with aromatic spices, primarily cardamom, cloves, ginger and cloves. I was happy to see they used whole milk instead of evaporated milk. The drink was incredibly rich and creamy and tasted great. Turkish delight ($18 / lb.) - This was extremely fresh, soft and chewy, made with cornstarch, sugar, nuts. Some of the varieties I tried had chocolate and/or fruits. The baklava here was fresh made with layers of phyllo dough, chopped nuts, and held together with some honey. The nut offerings here included, almonds, walnuts, peanuts and a few more. Overall I was impressed with everything they offered here with the exception of the nuts, which I thought were just ok. I'd definitely return if I was in the area.

Also got a bag of chocolates, which are weighed by the pound. The only qualm I have is that the chocolates are not labeled, so when you mix them all together, it truly is a bit of a Russian roulette on what you'll get. Everything was super yummy.
