I have been stressed and have chronic fatigue, well, I have been insomniac all my life, averaging 5 to 6 hours of sleep in my younger days and now just 4 to 4.5 hrs, you may ask what do I do w my time , yelping, tiktokking and watching politics to make sure I know when the bad hombres might blow up the world. It dawned on me that I should try taking ginseng. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, American ginseng is considered a "yin" tonic, while Asian ginseng is considered a "yang" tonic. Panax ginseng, also known as Asian, Korean, or Chinese ginseng. Panax quinquefolius, commonly referred to American ginseng. American ginseng as a "yin" tonic. It also helps balance physical and mental function, but it is cool, calming, and non-stimulating--making it ideal for today's busy, fast-paced, stressful lifestyles kind of my life now as I navigated the world to book trips for my entire family. Like its Asian cousin, American ginseng has been shown to enhance immunity and reduce the risk of respiratory infections. Limited research suggests it may also improve insulin resistance and help lower blood sugar and blood pressure. I went to Koreatown to buy Korean Ginseng, OMG did I get sticker shock; I thought I heard it incorrectly; they wanted $103 to $200!! I walked out and went to Little Saigon instead. I checked yelp, TYVM, I found tan sanh, I read some bad review but did not believe it. Huong is the name of the lady boss I think, she was very friendly and boy was I elated a bottle of 100 American Ginseng capsules from Wisconsin was only $20, she was very professional so I was sure the Ginseng was authentic, pure not contaminated. I bought a few Plum candies, she had a carousel of all kinds of samples, I ate a whole bunch!, no question asked unlike VUA KHO BO chains, they were very aggressive in your face scamming you. I saw sausages 100% pork, I don't like what's sold in supermarkets, 90% mixed w chicken, I have not cooked any yet but they looked amazing and so cheap only $9 for a whole pound. I like this store, it has all kinds of goodies, I'll BE BAAACK. 5 STARS, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

This was my second time here at Tan Sanh Ginseng located in Westminster, CA. I was looking for a special Elixir for my uncle's friend. When I walked in, the female owner and the other female associate were very friendly and inviting, asking me how they could help me. I told them that I was looking for a special Elixir for older men and the owner had her son translate our conversation. Both of the female associate and the son were very accommodating in helping me look for it. They found the Elixir, but the price increased by $40 thanks to you know who. Anyway, Tan Sanh Ginseng went out of their way to help me find the product that I was looking for and made my shopping experience a lot better than other Chinese herbal stores.

I can never give her (the owner = Chi Cam Huong) lower than the best/top stars. Chi Cam Huong is always so wonderful to me and my family. The negative review part is for her older sister and staff. They, supposedly, never remember the prices that Chi Cam Huong gives for me and my family. They are there when we are given set prices; but, somehow, they forget about those prices or stay quiet. I just had a recent encounter with the older sister and staff, while one of my family members waited in the car for me (on a hot day). They gave me the higher price. I told them that Chi Cam Huong only charges me so and so price. They keep on saying no and that's the past price. I kept firm and told the older sister that I'll vine back when Chi Cam Huong is at the store. The older sister told me to wait and she would call right now. She picked up the phone to, supposedly, start dialing (but never did). She went to help a different customer, while making me wait. I told her that I'll come back when Chi Cam Huong is at the store. She told me to wait for her to help this customer and she will call. Then in the middle of helping that customer, sure told her that she needs to call her sister for me. Then she stopped herself from dialing and told me the higher price is firm and if I wanted it or not. I said no and that I'm waiting for her to call Chi Cam Huong (as she said she would). She told me that she's not going to call Chi Cam Huong and the higher price is firm and if i wanted it or not. I said no and I'll come back when Chi Cam Huong is at the store. I left. When I got to my car, my family member (that I left in the car) was tired and almost fainted from low blood sugar. At this point, I'm past upset and was livid. I came home and called the store. Chi Cam Huong called me back and confirmed the set price with me. I went to the store and Chi Cam Huong wasn't there. It was her older sister and the same staff. I waited for help and got it. I told them about my call and set price with Chi Cam Huong. The older sister took over and called Chi Cam Huong (which I didn't want the older sister's help anymore). The older sister and staff were still firm on the higher price. They confirmed the set price (that I was adamant in staying with). The older sister said let me look at her (my) face and memorize it for the future to give me the correct pricing. This ticked me off. And the older sister made the mistake by testing my integrity, didn't really care about my family's member's wellbeing (after placing them in jeopardy), and said that she told me to wait for her to call Chi Cam Huong and I didn't. I exploded on her and yelled and screamed at her for being unprofessional and hypocritical and for called her out on defaming my integrity (with witnesses around). The male staff told me to calm down. I told him straight out that I was calm until their actions caused my family member from almost passing out on the car, while they made me wait for no results. read more

I am along time client of Tan Sanh Yen , surprised tonight with the call by the owner Co Huong herself to tell me- living in Alabama far, far away from California -that i have just won a prize worth $850 from her shop lottery. What a surprise. I will continue to buy Bird Nest and many other items from this store which i like the quality , the shipping, the packing and the price. Way to go Co Huong Lana Mai read more

Asian herbs and supplements! They have been here a long time! Our grandma was unfortunately got in a mild accident and we were on a mission to look for something to help with a speedy recovery. I personally do not believe in these products, since Western medicine has been advancing so much nowadays. However, it seems like the older Asian generation feels really happy whenever they receive one of these, so I am willing to make it special for them. Huong was a lovely lady when we met her. She spent time to introduce her products and answered any questions that we had. These products were not cheap, but they were good quality indeed. Our grandma loved them. We returned a second and third time to buy the same thing for our family and relatives. Their quality is consistent every time. Will be back for more! read more

Bad customer service. I bought 5 items total which included bird nest and other items. I didn't have cash on me so I asked them to charge my credit card. They said they ll charge credit card on 4 items which was about 400 dollars but the Logan I would have to pay cash which was 16 dollars. It made no sense but I didn't want to argue with her. It was my first time there so I asked several questions about pricing and different types of bird nest (like 3 questions) but she seemed irritated for some reasons. It wasn't busy at all. There were only two customers in the store. A lady name Huong was helping the other customer (she seemed to be nicer) and another lady was helping me (forgot her name). I didn't spend a long time in the store either. I was in and out in 10-15 mins. She made it difficult that I had to go to my car (I had a toddler and a newborn in the car with husband) to get 16 dollars for the Logan. So inconvenient!! If she already charged the credit cwrd for 400 dollars why made me pay cash for 1 item 16 dollars. read more

The lady boss has always been nice and friendly. With the odd bazar weather we have been having I would need all the herbs and ginseng to help me stay healthy. Thanks to her. Remember quality of quantity. All of people don't understand that. I have always bought my herbs, ginseng, birds nest etc from this location. It's not expensive and the quality is great. I really like the bag of herbs that they prepackaged for the herbal chicken soup. I usually use 1 gallon of water with the 1 packet of herbs. The great thing is it's not crazy strong. The taste is pretty good. I always cook a big portion and I would say I highly recommend the herbs here. Honesty and quality is most important. I have tried other places for herbs and ginseng but I feel like the quality isn't there read more

Rip off. I bought box of birds nest. Went home and found exact thing online for 50% cheaper. Avoid this store.

Came to purchase wild Cordyceps. It is the best customer services with a lot of knowledge. One can get lost with many herbs but they are very patient and take time to explain. Special new year special with lots of gifts with purchase. They carried wild ginseng with the best pricing! read more

You might think 360 bucks for a smile is a lot to pay.... But a smile from my grandma is worth a thousand times more than that. She has been a bit loopy as of late because of her age and dementia. One thing that makes her happy is birds nest. Of all the things she has to choose, and its bloody expensive. If she had it her way she'd eat bird's nest soup for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. However, since the budget isn't built for that, every now and again its worth it to make her happy. When you get that age, you should be able to have whatever you want. A society should be judged not by how we treat the young and the rich, but rather how we treat the elderly and downtrodden. I'm gonna stop before I go on a PSA tirade about the elderly and homeless. This place sells a lot of asiany medicinal things, most of them are probably bull** but what can you do. At least they gave us a green reusable bag and some candy since we spend so much god darn money here. read more

I love ordering from Huong. She's very honest when she it's selling her product to you. Not only she tells you what you will need and what you don't need but she will even show how to make it. Their prices are very fair. You pay for quality. If you want the cheaper price but high quality that will never happen. Don't come here expecting to get cheap prices but come here excepting high quality and and great customer service! I have called an inquire about healthy herbs for my mother. But she was very honest about it. She could have just sold me what I asked for but instead she gave me a better option for less. I have continue to shop here and urge anyone who is in need of quality Chinese herbs and a trustworthy store that will only sell you the best product come here and ask for Huong. She will not only tell you what you'll need and how to make it! read more

We came to purchase some suction cups and accidentally left our wallet there. On our coming back we met with honest owner and sales people who returned the forgotten wallet with nothing missing! Thank you for the good and honest business! read more

I came in asking for a product I brought here twice . There was a blockage to the area where it was placed at . They said they didn't carry it when I knew they did , I had to show them a picture . They have bad customer service here and they look really stuck up especially one of the guys . There are two guys working here so you will know which one I am talking about . The guy with the glasses was nice but overall this is my last visit here .People go here to get better buying herbs and you making a face is no good read more

First time came here few months ago. I love the lady she is nice and friendly. Today came back for the herbs to make black chicken. I asked how much is the minimum to charge the credit card. The rude guy (maybe owner) said depends on the items, only bird nest or ginseng that they can take cards. I was gonna buy 5 of herb bags but I don't have enough cash so I ended up to take only 1 bag. The guy seems like does not care to sell those. All he cares is who buy bird nest or ginseng. He did not even say thank you! I would not never come back here again. They don't need customers why should I come back? I'd rather to support other local business than this place! read more

A very nice place to buy bird's nest . I saw the advertisement on TV and decided to give it a try . And it was pretty good . It offers you a lot of variety . From white to yellow to red . It also offers you a lot of things , so I can't tell it all of here . After you buy something , you have a chance to get a free lottery ticket to participate in and get a chance to get a free set which worth about $350 . Best place to buy read more

Customer Service? 2 star. Wait time? 2 star. Price? 1 star. Parking? 0 star. I came here for a price check of their product, but they are more expensive compared to the previous place I went to. Before they can figure out the price, they made us wait awhile. Well... you either have the stuff or you don't. my previous store are pretty quick at figuring out the price, but this place took awhile. They almost didn't have everything on the herb list too. Well, its not like I would know if they missed an herb and substitute it with something else. I heard this place used to be really good and very crowded. It's all changed now. The people who work there don't seem to care if they have more or less customers. They even walk back and forth casually in and out the store like they got nothing to do. My impression of this place is bad. I rather go a bit farther to a more authentic Chinese herbal store. The worse of all is the parking. It's at one of the busiest plaza on Bolsa and it's always hard to find parking. read more

At first, when I read reviews on this place I was a little skeptical about going, but I went anyways. I was surprised​ but the amazing service that I receive​ considering what is said on Yelp​. The lady, Cam Huong, never pushed me on trying to buy something that I didn't want and was very helpful in selecting​ the bird's​​ nest for me. My mother-in-law was super pleased with the quality of the bird's​ nest and her health has improved​. Also, when I was there, they were very honest with their products. You just have to go and check out the place yourself. read more

I came here for tea to help with my infertility. I was trying to get pregnant for two years and unsuccessful with fertility treatment with my primary physician. I was about to do IVF when my friend told me about this place. I saw the doctor there and I told him my back story. He then told me to drink the tea for 7-10 days at the end of my menstrual cycle..... and I will be pregnant in 3-4 months. I was pregnant at 4 months! I now have a 9 month old baby :) and will try for my second with the tea again! They will also ship the tea to your house moving forward. Love this play and recommend to anyone having a hard time getting pregnant. read more

My name is thao I come to here from San Diego to get my ginseng and herbs! I love the service, great customer service I 10/10 recommended

I go to the shop every time I need herbal medicine. I would give 4 stars if there was not a man who is a cashier over there. The owner couple is nice but that man is a jerk. He always ask you pay higher price with the same item than the others. He is not the owner but he seems want to rip off you. So avoid to ask him the price if the owners are not there. read more

I will never come back to this store again to buy ANYTHING. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY STORE IN THE OC SELLING GINGSENG, BIRD NESTS OR WHATEVER THEY ARE SELLING. My mother and I came into the store asking to buy Cao Cot Nam Linh Chi, which we have bought from them so many times to send as gifts to my grandmothers living in the South. We came to ask for it this time, and there was a saleman who kept saying they don't have it with a super impolite and low class voice. We were treated as if we were retarded people who asked for something that NEVER EVER exist in this WORLD. Then I looked at him in the face and said "if you don't have it, that's fine, maybe we can find somewhere else." Then he started pulling out all kind of stuff and putting on the table. None of those are what we were looking for. He did not even read the labels of the products he pulled out. I was like... HELLO, I TOLD YOU I AM NOT LOOKING FOR GINGSENG, CAN YOU EVEN READ THE WORD "GINGSENG" ON THE BOTTLE? This place has the most unprofessional selling skills I have ever experienced in my life. My mother came here to buy stuff many times and I think she was so kind to accept this kind of customer service. They don't want to sell, and they also don't know how to sell professionally. Tan Sanh! Customers are there to buy stuff, they don't ask you stuff for FREE. Now I understand why you have to do TV advertisement ALL THE TIME. read more

I called the store today to get more information on Cordyceps. The lady owner (Cô Huong), was very patient to answer all my questions and taught me how to use the cordyceps. She explained to me what the health benefits were and gave me a refund on my order because I ordered the wrong one. I didn't know that I could order with free shipping if more than 150. My total was 120 with 13$ shipping. Also, because of this Covid, I didn't want to go to the store. This helped me feel comfortable and that she was willing to stay on the phone long to assure that I understood thoroughly. read more

Wtf are we asking for ur opinion or are we short on money NO!! To make it short, terrible place super rude attitude. Not worth even to go near!!! read more

We brought bird's nest from Tan Sanh, I lived in Oklahoma and my sisters lived in NJ. My sister ordered for me and they shipped direct to my home, I am very happy with my ordered. I drink the Bird nest for the first time, and already knows the different. I make my husband drink it and noticed that the snore is less and no more trip to bathroom during a night. I told my husband, if my two American brother in-law can drink it, I am sure we can too so both of us drink it for a week now, I am so glad my sister talked me into getting the bird's nest from Tan Sanh, I am very happy knowing the products are real and shipping are wonderful. I got everything my sister ordered for me. My sisters and I spent almost 4k for this products, and we very happy with the products, shipping and customer services. KTT, Oklahoma City read more

I came here to look for a certain herb for my mother, the lady named Huong said they had something better for a cure all. Before I could even ask her about this herb, she told me birds nest is what she needed. How strange of her to offer me something before I even asked. Is this lady psychic or just a psycho money grabber? My mom asked me to buy jujube fruit for tea. This bag of jujube fruit is only $10, she told me she recommends a box of birds nest for $500. This lady is trying to upsell me like crazy. While I kept saying no and I only needed to buy the fruit, she mumbles under her breath that I was cheap, not a good son and walks away. I ended up going next door to T&K to buy the dried Jujube Fruit. read more

Good Service and the real bird nest

I'm writing in behalf of my mother, Kim Tran, who has personally never had any problems with the staff at this place before. She always leaves with everything she needs and not to mention she was able to win some free Yen today. Yes, the prices are expensive, but what can ya do? read more

I wanted my parents start eating Yen but didn't know where I should buy them even though there are many herbs stores on Bolsa. I was prefer to this store by a friend who told me her mom has been purchased Yen and other herbs from this store for decades and she loves their products. So I went here and to my surprise, their store was very clean; their products are very well packages. I met with the very beautiful lady who name Huong... I think she is the owner. She explained very detail all my questions regarding Yen. So I bought some yen from them and my parents love it. It is clean so my parents don't have to do anything other than cook it up and eat. I will recommend this store all everyone. read more

I came here 3 years ago with problems getting pregnant, Western medicine told me I'd have to do invitro.

I used to go to another place for "yen", but never happy with their service. We found Tan Sanh and always go there for several years now.

My Name is Lee Con, i am 55 yrs old and working in medical field. I just want to share my story that I got a perplexed skin condition. I woke up with hives that cover entire my body. Typically it is the type of allergic reaction to food, there are dozen of hives cover the face, eyes , neck, trunk, leg, arms and even the palms. They disappear at the end of the day. They change form from round to various shapes before they disappeared and recurrent again next day and been like that every single day for months. I have researched everywhere i can in this world. Also i have tried prednisone, benadryl, Vit C, Vit D3, L- Glutamine, Claritin, probiotic, antifungal, antibiotic, laxative, and abstained from eating shrimp, yogurt, beef, chicken , and almost everything in the world. I am so frustrated and desperated to the point i gave up and fortunately one day a friend of mine tell me about TAN SANH YEN. I stopped by just for the sake of trying without having any expectation. I saw a Chinese doctor who take a glimse on my skin and prescribed the whole bunch of all kind of herbal root, dried leaves and even a dozen Cicada. I followed the instructiom anyway, cooking the medication with 5 bowl of water and simmimg it down to one bowl of water ( condensing) and i am telling you the taste is not fun at all, it is bitter like hell. After 3 days i noticed the hives are getting less. I still dont believe it because it was like that before, it will return again. For the second round i can see the size of the hives are much smaller and no hives on my face, still it was itchy and hard to sleep at night, so i tried the 3rd round, amazingly i am now confidently to say ALL the hives are gone. I dont know what to say except that my family and I are much more grateful to the Doctor and staff on Tan Sanh Yen. If anyone perplex yourself on the skin condition like mine just drop me a line i am willing to share more infp with you. And if you have utilized all resources and was seen by all kind of medical specialists and still no improvement, i strongly recommend you to try this place. read more
