This place has quality Asian produce. There's am herbalist and a Chinese doctor...and a good selection of Asian medicines. It was clean, well organized. I'm almost reluctant to sing its praise because it's busy and the parking lot being small means you must call upon car good karma....also prices are reasonable. I usually buy red envelopes and Asian-themed gifts here...ie Covered mugs, sandalwood soap, almond cookies...also funeral/ ancestor-worship paraphenalia, but the fresh produce is the big draw. The cashiers are fast at checkout. English isn't really spoken here, but the language of commerce is universal.

I asked the TCM doctor here to take my pulse and give me some Chinese medicine to regulate my body, and the next day my body was significantly better.

My go to place for the lowest price for any random electronic or Chinese medication. The only catch is that you can't return your items, and the shop employees open the box for you so you can inspect before purchasing. The parking is a bit tight but most of the time the store isn't too busy. Very clean and a closer walk to the residential area than the other TS Emporium down Valley. Occasionally, there's some random thing that I happened to see trending on the internet here. Such as the... spittoon that was being marketed as a breadbasket or champagne holder.

A Chinese herbal shop and grocery store... This is the place to go when you have any kind of sickness. One interesting thing about this place is that there is an acupuncturist's office in the corner of the store. Okay... it's not really an office, but there is a table where the acupuncturist talks to patients and some chairs for patients who are waiting. It is very informal. People don't make appointments. Just go there, grab a number, and wait until it is your turn. From my experience, everyone in the waiting area would ask each other what number we have, and immediately after one patient is done, the next patient sits down at the doctor's table. We, the patients, basically managed the system ourselves. If you do want to come see this acupuncturist, then try to come earlier to grab a number because it can get quite busy. The store opens at 9am, but he doesn't get there until 10:30am. The acupuncturist writes a prescription for some herbal medicines to each patient, which we then bring to the counter to have an employee prepare the herbs for us. There are instructions on how to cook the medicine by boiling the herbs in water. The prices for these herbs are not too expensive. As for the grocery store, there are a great variety of products. Sometimes there are great sales, and sometimes the items are kind of pricey. My mom ended up buying 4 tangerines for $4, which are the most expensive tangerines I've ever seen. What's great about this place is that it's a one stop shop for all your household shopping needs.

Was suffering from a canker sore that was making life miserable so my mom suggested coming here to pick up some watermelon frost/西瓜霜. We come here every now and then for their extensive selection of chinese herbs to make soup. This place is small but mighty. It's an emporium for a majority of the items you can find in Chinatown. To the right of the store are the ricecookers, slippers, PJ sets, pots and pans, china, incense, plastic stools, and other basic household items. Making your way to the left is where you'll find the asian snacks, canned goods, sauces, teas, baking supplies (lots of bread/AP/cake flour), like your average Asian grocery store. They have a small but fresh selection of choy/veggies, but no poultry. Far left are shelves of packaged chinese herbs with funny names. There is an entire wall adorned with drawers of chinese herbs/medicine. Next to it is a small corner where you can consult with a chinese medicine doctor. You can find their bestselling ginseng and bird's nest, among other dried seafoods as you make your way around. I love exploring the streets and stalls in Chinatown and coming here gives me that same feeling. Wouldn't consider this an alternative but it's a great one stop shop for most things Chinese.

Bamboo steamer

Looked all over and finally found the bamboo steamer that I have been wanting to make dumplings. So happy! I know you can just order these on Amazon but it was so fun to drive into Monterey Park and shop at this emporium.

The 3-4 inches cut on the bag. Dried shrimp leaked out of the bag.
Steve T.

I ordered several items from Tak Shing Hong because I thought it is a reputable merchant. When I received my items, one of them had a 3-4 inches cut on the bag of dried shrimp. I immediately contact Tak Shing Hong and sent them pictures as requested. However, their customer service rep keeps giving nonsensical excuses and speculations why there is a cut instead of trying to provide returns or any reasonable resolutions. They keep ignoring my responses and asking the same questions over and over again. Finally I had to file a dispute with the credit card company. Their behavior is akin to a small backwater grocery store with no concept of customer services.

Wonderful little store specialized in American Ginseng, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and all kinds of nutritious herbal and dried seafoods, oh and pretty much all things Chinese!

A security guard followed me around right after I took a picture. And he made it so obvious. He followed me then he stopped right behind me. I turned around and he pretended to look away. So I went to the next aisle and he followed me again. I was loud when I said "hey, that security guard followed me". I turned around and he was still there. So I looked at his name tag and stood next to him. He got embarassed and turned around..so this time I followed him around the store. The store smells like a typical Chinese herb store. They sell traditional Chinese medicine and other Asian snacks also. You can also find stuff that you find at Chinatown. It's actually a decent store....but sweetheart I don't like it when people follow me around. Do I look like a thief to you? Learn to tell the difference between a thief and a yelper. 2 stars!! Not a fan..not at all

I usually place an order through their Instagram DMs a few weeks in advance for holidays. You can ask for their excel spreadsheet and they'll send it to you with prices and this same spreadsheet updates every year! There is also a little deposit for holiday pick up depending on the size of your order. Their sashimi platter is beautiful, fresh, delicious, and always a party favorite. I usually get: Salmon, Toro, Yellowtail, Scallops, and Oysters. If available, uni trays and fresh wasabi (which can also be picked up at HMart). Scallops are my favorite but every piece of fish is so good and cut perfectly. Parking and pick up is easy. It is a very small store front with one party inside at a time and pay at the counter. Highly recommend for party platters for fresh sashimi.

Call beforehand to confirm pick up time and how much fish pound…read more Sashimi platter: They cut their fish in thick slices. Prepped in a party tray with ice bags to go. 2.0 lb salmon: The cut had even lines of fat and meat. 1.5 lb tuna: Personally, I liked the tuna more than the salmon. It was so soft. Pretty much better than sugar fish's tuna. Ginger, wasabi and misc are purchase only.

They really keep the authenticity and quality at a high level. The food is amazing and every dish we have tried has been consistently good. It can get a little pricey if you order a bunch of dishes with a group but it is completely worth it for the quality you are getting. One nice bonus is their loyalty program. If you spend over 50 dollars they give you a stamp card and once you collect ten stamps you get around 20 dollars off or a free dish. Definitely a good incentive to keep coming back. If you are looking for authentic Indonesian food in the Rosemead area I honestly do not think there is a better option than Medan Kitchen. Highly recommend giving it a try.
