If you want unique and truly delicious straight from Japan come to this store. They had the cutest cookies with cream and fruit but from Japan and not mandatory to refrigerate. They were delicious. The lady there is super nice and helped me pick an even better piece of produce than I did. Store is clean, and siesta looks good. The bogo is great! Take advantage of that. Oh and their chips from Asia can't be beat. Unique flavors my 96 year old mom loves! Without a doubt you must buy the green onion pancakes by geemate. They are better than restaurant quality. My husband never eats the ones at restaurants but really liked these. These can't be found everywhere either!

They even have frozen Wagyu meats. If you're into rare and premium fruits, they have honey pineapples, pink pineapples, and strawberries that cost over $100 a box, or even $20 for just one strawberry! ::Customer Service:: The staff is very friendly and helpful, offering recommendations and answering questions about their unique products. Some of the items are definitely on the pricey side, especially the rare fruits. ::M's Notes:: Parking lot in the back

People call this the "Chinese Costco," and I can definitely see why! The prices are generally lower than what you'd find elsewhere, although I wouldn't say everything is cheaper. I'd estimate that maybe around 60% of the items are a better deal. Overall, I'm very happy with this store and will definitely keep coming back.

I plan on specifically coming back to take advantage of their thinly sliced beef to use for kbbq and hot pot. The price is super competitive, especially with a membership. If I actually lived nearby I'd probably get one myself, but the prices without them are pretty good as well. Ended up picking up a few indulgent snacks and some asian veggies that had great pricing.

Finally had a chance to visit iTaiwan Foods! This is the closest location to me and it's a cute and…read morefun shopping experience. The store is a bit small, but it's nice to see the selection of imported Taiwanese goods. It's around the time for Mid Autumn Festival so they had discounts of several different kinds of moon cakes which is neat. I'm only one person so I didn't partake, but if you have family and a lot of people to gift, this might be a great deal to take a look at. Staff are super nice and friendly, welcoming too and made lots of suggestions during my visit. Grab a basket as well if you are going to make a lot of purchases. I LOVE the little photo op they have in the front. The Formosan black bear holding the boba milk tea is super cute. Definitely take photos if you can. They also have other deals and specials there too, like a slight discount if you purchase the whole box of bottled drinks and more. Selection varies from refrigerated and frozen items (like fish, neat!), snacks, sauces, candies (I love the herbal candies, great for the throat), cookies, canned goods, drinks (the bigger box milk teas are yummy), and much more. I mainly went there since my friend got a new fancy toaster and I remember seeing imported Taiwanese garlic spread and condensed milk type sweet spread and thought it would be a great gift to get. Also saw the Science Noodle snack. The wizard on the bag always reminds me of my grandpa so I got one of those as well. Make sure to sign up for their membership program. Completely free and you can keep your points, they never expire, for your next visit! PS. Plenty of parking since it's a huge plaza.

3.5 stars I was in…read morethe area, waiting for a friend to arrive for lunch at Bonjuk and Bibimbap so I stopped by. The store has fully stocked shelves of goods from Taiwan. It was nice to see certain items that I had not seen in so long. The store is a bit on the smaller side, but whichever way you look, there's something for everyone. Goods are a bit pricier than most, but not many places sell goods directly from Taiwan. As others mentioned, it was very clean and have a good selection. There are plenty of parking near the store, especially since Big Lots has closed years ago.

Well they have super long lines and no baggers. So the cashier has to bag and it can take so much…read moreextra time. Unless you the customer bags your own stuff. But the elderly can't do that so it's why the lines are so long. Now here is the kicker. At the end of the checking line is a manager ...sometimes 2. A man and a woman. They are observing the long lines...counting something...just observing. It would help if THEY just go to the end of a long line and start bagging! See, that would be cool! You see you guys have not scheduled any baggers and the lines are so long they are down the aisles .. and you are just standing there? Of course they may say, well that's not my job. But that's the mentality that keeps things moving slow. It would be so nice if people just did what it takes to keep things moving. Either hire enough people OR get in there and start bagging! I remember back in the days there was a bagger at the end of each checkout aisle. A bagger and a casher! Those days are gone ...and most stores now see if they can get away with overworking the checker! Next thing you know they install self check outs! Rather than hire people and keep a system of people working they just get rid of people and have 1 person observing (like these managers were doing). What a world we are moving towards. But anyways that's what you see. I wish they would just hire bag boys and go back to the good ol days.

Flat-out the best Indian restaurant and market in the San Gabriel Valley. You get…read morerestaurant-quality food at lunch combo prices, all tucked inside an Indian market. They even sell plants. I picked up a curry plant there, and it's thriving. I've had Indo-Chinese cuisine before, but this was my first experience with Indo-Thai. The lamb paired perfectly with the rich, coconut-based Thai curry. It's a unique combination that worked surprisingly well. Highly recommended. Although the Dubai Chocolate trend is overdone, their fresh Dark Chocolate version of it gave me hope! The hardest part was driving it home so it wouldn't melt!

Quality food and service is what we thrive to give to our loyal and new customers . We treat all customers as if they were a part of our family. Visitation Rights: Patronize the shop about a handful of times. Background On Last Visit: Purchased the SGV passport and turns out that Bhanu was one of the participating restaurants. Restroom: Located toward the back of the market. Credit Cards: They're accepted. Location/Parking: Located in a plaza on the NE corner of Rosemead Blvd and Huntington Dr.. Decent amount of parking in the plaza. Shop/Market is next door to Why Thirst (Closed For Good). Ambiance/Decor: Alright ambiance. One side of the shop is the market and the other side is the restaurant. Food Of Choice: 1) SGV Sampler: Consists of 4 samosas (veggie, chow mein, spinach, and chicken) and a jalapeno fritter, which came with two dipping sauces (green sauce and red (tamarind)). Loved the green sauce more, because it was less spicy. 2) Butter Chicken With Garlic Naan: Mmmmmmmm! So good! Bhanu For Thought: Would definitely want to go back to get more butter chicken and samosas.

This also includes a large portion of the food items. I did enjoy the size of the store, and that they have a lot of fun products. They even have some cosmetics and mystery boxes.

I could have sworn that they used to have more limited hours, but either way, it's a solid European market. Aside from being a market, I think they also do shipping services to Europe too if you have friends or family there. Sizeable market with lots of snacks, sweets, dried goods, some ice cream, frozen food, drinks, alcohol, cooking and baking goods, and much more. You can easily spend a good amount of time perusing the wide variety of food that they have here. Great place to get tinned fish, chocolates, or crackers and cookies or candies if you're trying to find a quick gift. My boyfriend got some alcohol and some canned goods here. I got some caramel vanilla ice cream. Reminded me of the drumstick ice cream, but creamier and less "heavy" tasting if that makes sense. A juxtaposition, I'm sure. Shop had customers come in and out the entire time, but it was never super busy. Worker was on the phone I think with other customers, but was friendly either way. Ambiance was casual, a bit aged, not super fancy, but does the job.
