We were GREETED right away by 3 very friendly and welcoming Indonesian LADIES. They were recommending all the desserts and home made Indonesian dishes by the door. We were sold and bought at least 5 items to try... Not sure if all the names that we bought but, we got something that looks like empanadas, crackers with peanuts, noodles with meat, green mochi dessert, etc. Everything was delicious!! 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!!! read more

They are MOVING! I went to the old location that are same plaza with Paris baguette but turn out they move to different location. NOW they're in the Garvey Ave, close to Bake & Che. The store still has lots of variance of Indonesian products. Some fresh Indonesian food as well. The parking lot is small and kinda hard to find a parking spot but glad they are still in business!! read more

Unexpected Find, Incredible Flavors - Can't Wait to Return on a Saturday! I discovered Tip Top Market while waiting for my order at a restaurant in the same plaza. A quick Yelp search and a few mouthwatering food photos were all it took to get me to walk over. It was 11:22am on a Tuesday. I headed straight for the hot food counter in the back and saw there were only six items on the steam table. I lingered a few minutes, thinking more might come out. The kind lady in the kitchen let me know that this was it and said the dishes from the Yelp photos are offered only on Saturdays. Darn! Well, since I was here I decided to go for the 3-item combo. She offered samples of the items to try and two bites in, I already knew what I wanted: Beef Rendang - fall-apart tender beef in a deeply flavorful, spicy stew. Spicy Chicken - she didn't know the English name (Ayam Rica-Rica?). This was fragrant, fiery and turned out to be my favorite. Vegetable Curry - mild and comforting with tofu. Served with coconut rice (because regular rice was still cooking), which paired beautifully with everything. The kind lady smiled and said, "I hope you like it." I loved it! I'll definitely revisit on a Saturday next time. read more

Plenty of parking in a shared parking lot. Welcoming auntie and uncle. Guaranteed friendly customer service with over 17 years of experience and counting. We had a blast shopping for ourselves and relatives for their typical titipan. Bumbu2 and anekah cemilan yang jarang ditemukan. We found everything at this store and some more! We even got ourselves some treats for us after shopping at the back. There's some more snacks. read more

So we were at one of my favorite banh mi joints, Hue Thai Bakery, when we noticed the Indonesian market across the plaza was open. So we went over and checked it out. As with most Indonesian markets, they had a vast array of prepared foods available. The nice folks at the market recommended a couple of items and we made our purchase. When we got home we followed their instructions and warmed the dishes up. Both of them were absolutely delicious! I've gotten similar dishes from other Indo markets but they were not as good as these. Taste was 5 stars but where I took one away from was the price. $15 for four average sized skewers seemed high. I believe the prices for each prepared dish are set by the ones who made them so next time we'll check out other offerings as well and see how those prices are. But all in all the food was absolutely delicious and we will be back. read more

This is one of the Indonesian grocery stores around! They have a great variety of Indonesian products, and on weekends, they also sell delicious Indonesian food like martabak manis, pastel, risoles, and more. They even have hot foods ready to go too. The store is clean, well-organized, and the owner, who also works the register, is super friendly. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're looking for Indonesian products or a quick bite. read more

Pros -parking -hot delicious indo food like rendang -friendly workers Cons -slightly on the pricier side read more

They moved from their Las Tunas location a month ago. Theyre now on Garvey Ave between Walnut Grove & Rosemead Bl. in Rosemead. It's in a new strip mall complex. The owners are very welcoming. Same great products, a refrigerated section, and now a little kitchen in the very back where they make their to-go foods. I'm looking forward to going back to visit them again! read more

The store is a hidden gem. It's not very big, but surprisingly, it has all kinds of snacks from Asia, especially Indonesia. The store also offers delicious Asian fast food. The owners and workers are very nice and friendly. Even though I live far away, I will definitely visit the store again whenever I'm in the area. read more

I drove all the way from San Diego to buy krupuk and was so excited that they carry the NY Siok brands. I bought Krupuk Udang (shrimp crackers), krupuk ikan (fish crackers) and belinjo udang. I am very upset that the expiration dates printed on the packages have been removed, and new 2023 dates labels were stick on top to cover them. They have all expired. It is against the consumer right law to tamper with packaging expiration dates. These crackers are not cheap $20, $17 and $12; $50 of expired products!!! I tried calling the merchant but mailbox is full and I can't leave any messages. Buyer beware. Do not trust the new expiration date stickers. Look carefully. read more

Tummy Safisfied! I've been waiting for Saturday to get here so I could go to Tip Top Mart in San Gabriel for ready made Indonesian food. Tip Top sells all.kinds of Indonesian food on weekends only. So many variety to choose from making it hard to choose. 5 items I got: They are all so yummy Nasi Bungkus (combination rice dish wrap in Banana leaf) Otak Otak (fish cake wrapped in banana leaf) Martabak (egg with filling) Risole (crepe with ragout filling) Kroket (potato with filling) read more

Moved to a new location, lots of space, parking. Same great items to purchase and lovely service.

I only recently learned of this place after seeing someone recommend it on the SGV Eats Facebook group. Many people know of Medan Kitchen after it went viral on social media, but Tip Top Mart is less well known. Tip Top Mart is an Indonesian grocery on week days, and then on weekends they serve a small variety of popular Indonesian dishes. Tip Top Mart, sadly, does not have a menu, so I just kind of had to guess what they had. I ended up ordering nasi bungkus (rice, chicken, beef, and veggies wrapped in a banana leaf), nasi kuning (yellow rice, chicken, beef rendang, and veggies), and a noodle dish that I don't remember the name of. The dishes all tasted very good. Not as spicy as Medan Kitchen, which is good in its own way. I loved the beef rendang, and I also loved the sweet sardines and nuts that came with the nasi kuning. The eggs were all good. I asked for green chilies on the side with the nasi bungkus, which they obliged. My only complaint was the food was a bit cold, and I wish the food was made to order. Overall, a solid place to get Indonesian takeout food. read more

So many great choices that remind our family of home. It's one of our favorite stops, especially the nasi gudeg and pastels. Super wonderful & friendly owners + staff. Easy parking at the new Garvey location is a plus. :) read more

Great place for fresh Indonesian food and snacks on the weekends. Beware, the place can get very busy and line gets long. And if you come late, most of them are probably already gone. If you already know what to get, it's best to call ahead so they can set aside the items for you. The minimart is nice; it has a lot of packaged snacks and sauces available throughout the year. read more

I must write this to inform everybody that JENNA J from San Diego, was disclosing a problem not based on facts. Contact the distributors! The distributors will do all these tiny dirty tricks because they have pallets of merchandise. Hence, they do all they can to sell the expired crackers. Whereas, the merchants will NEVER do such nonsense because they can return a pack or a case of expired goods back to the distributors without a blink in 2011. read more

Have Great Indonesian items, friendly people. Nice services. And this new location has good parking spot. Thank You.

I come here at least once a month to take my mother. They sell fresh homemade food like nasi kuning, mie goreng, lemper, bachang, sate, otak otak, croquette, roti baso, rendang, kue lupis, kue talum, kue klepon, kue lapis legit and more. I wish they sold cendol but I haven't seen it. I recommend if it's your first time to go in and see what's there. Then going forward I would call to order what you want cuz they often times run out. Also, the food is sold only on the weekends I believe...This is also a tiny Indonesian Market. Let's support local businesses especially this one because we don't have many Indonesian markets around. read more

Saturday and Sunday is the day when they have all the food ready to eat with many varieties. I got bacang nasi (yum), lontong balap medan (so good!), Arem2 (very good but inconsistent), siomai manis (good), lemper ayam (good), tahu isi (so good but eat right away if not spoil). I want to try martabak Andre (cafe), pek2, nasi uduk, mi kangkung Janty, sate and everything else. For grocery I really think it's the most complete Indonesian grocery. They even have petqi (sator), jengkol, seasoning, snacks, drinks, hot sauces, even batik! Sometimes they would calculate wrong so I will use my own calculator next time. Very nice people though and I have a good experience here! Please open one in the Bay Area read more

I appreciate this mom and pop grocery store for Indonesian groceries. The owners and staff are extremely friendly and nice. They greet you the moment you walk in, just like you are part of the community. The selection of grocery is good and the prices are decent. Now they have a kitchen in the new location, they are cooking up a storm of the most mouth watering Indo food! This is a must visit spot! read more

Little gem in town. First time come to this place and we are from NorCal. We came to LA for family vacation. I were lost! Lol The GPs taking us to an unknown street corner. Luckily I'm able to call the store owner and give us direction to go around and find this place. Spent almost $200 for many Indonesian food and snacks lol Bought whole bunch of Dry Krupuk!! Most famous Indonesian snack selling here. You name it. Clean and neat store, cheaper price than Asian store. We bought stuff that we can't find in our area including Jengkol! The owner is very nice guy. Highly recommend. read more

Small little mini Southeast Asia Food Mart. Mainly Indonesian Food, spices, and snacks that are imported! They even have home made Indonesian entrees like Nasi Lamak (Indonesian rice and anchovies, peanuts dish) on to go boxes. Prepacked fresh Indonesian desserts too! They have the BEST DURIAN Ice cream bars. Comes in a pack of 4 bars for $3.50. **(In case you don't know what Durian is, it is a southeast Asia fruit, a brownish-green, semi hard shell covered with thick spikes, and is slightly larger then a melon. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/dkBh5OHb0fJu3Z3l053PTw?select=AygQtGvZs_tIGSiJNRNnEg Under the spikey shells are sections of pale yellow flesh with a consistency that can be as soft and oozy as custard , and for Durian lovers like I do, they tastes and smell like the most delicious smell and flavor that is nutty and sweet with hints of vanilla BUT for most, like the movie EAT, PRAY, LOVE described it, the durian has a nauseating smell of stinking feet or stinking sock!! :-O The best way I can describe it is it's like fine French cheeses, the worse the smell, the better the tastes!! **) \If you say you'll try anything once, you HAVE TO try Durian!! read more

The Asian community is strong in the San Gabriel Valley, but for Indonesians there is only a small number of places we can call home. In this small plaza on Las Tunas Boulevard, near the delicious dumplings is Tip Top, filled with all things Indonesian! The prices here are reasonable compared to the prices found in other supermarkets. The products are also more fresh, because, despite it's disheveled looks, people frequent this store quite often! They carry more products and spices in this store than what you would find in normal supermarkets. If you wanted a certain flavor of chips, they would probably have it! If you're new to Indonesian products, I would recommend trying out the instant noodles called Indomie. They are not your ordinary instant noodle. It comes in two different styles, they have the soup version, and a fried version, both are equally delicious! Just depends on what you're in the mood for. read more

I usually go to this store on Saturday when they sell more home made food. I really like nasi bungkus (rice with meats, marinated vegetables, and egg): there are 2 different kinds where both are equally good, spicy and tasty but I prefer the one from toko rame. My daughter doesn't eat spicy food so she likes green noodle with mushrooms, diced chicken and vegetables. We usually also order batagor (fried fish stuff on tofu). I also buy a box of teh botol (jasmine tea in cartons). I buy other snacks that I ate growing up (Selamat chocolate sandwich biscuit, dua kelinci egg coated peanut, kusuka cassava chips). There are others that I tried before and mostly good. Ask the worker or owner for recommendations, they will inform you. read more

Best place to get authentic Indonesian food. I'd rather go to this place than to Indonesian restaurants around LA. Everything was so good. They have risoles, pastel, siomay, pempek, lontong medan, nasi kuning, martabak, rujak, and so many more. The staffs were friendly. Easy transaction. Minimum of $20 if you want to use credit cards. Parking is horrible read more

This Establishment has been around for many years. Location is practical. except Sundays. I go here whenever i need Indo items or if i just miss indo food. Price is not overpriced, the price is well balanced. We are not getting paid in Rupiah, we get paid in Dollars. It makes sense. If you want cheap Indo stuff, why dont you go to Indonesia, bring back some items and do your calculation on the whole thing including air fare. Gila ya. Kl banyak komplain, blanja saja di toko madur. The staffs are very nice. They help on whatever you need. I never come across an expired item, only in Hawaii super market. Even if they do have expired item, let them know so in the future they will be more aware.Anyways, they also help me out on RIA, which is Transfer money service. Quick and no hassle. Keep up the good work guys. Expand the place, or maybe put a small restaurant . Just an Idea..cheers read more
