This rating is directed to the Calaveras Blvd Safeway's Bakery Department…read more I came here in hopes of placing an order for a cake. I envisioned something in heart shaped form, double layers, with white buttercream piping in a clean, vintage design with all of its beautiful girly ruffles & borders. I had purchased a few custom cakes her previously and didn't give coming here a second thought. I was unfortunately met by a younger male who was willing to take my order but couldn't answer any questions about whether or not the bakery department could accomplish my wants/needs. He was short, unfriendly, and not knowledgeable contrary to him working in the bakery. I left without ordering the cake and headed over to the Berryessa Safeway. Thanks but no thanks to the lack of help here.

Marina Grocery is still open as of July 2026 and seems to have good deals. I enjoy their purple…read morerice rolls (fantuan) in their deli section, which is cash only. One purple rice rolls costs $4.29 before tax and has a fried doughnut, pork floss, and pickled veggies. The pickled veggies here are savory and slightly sweet instead of sour.

Marina Grocery is similar to 99 Ranch where they also have a deli area of prepared foods like…read moreChinese BBQ, and a bakery, although, not as big.

Forewarning to anyone shopping here to check your food purchases and hold onto your receipts and CHECK to see if your food is even up to standard to be sold and purchased. So gross bro. Pray for my house not to be infested now that it's contaminated. ):

We shop at Ocean Supermarket at least once a week, as the prices on certain items here are pretty…read morereasonable. This supermarket is located inside the Park Victoria Plaza in Milpitas, California. It seems like this is a Vietamese run and owned supermarket, with a select few staff who also speak Chinese, as well. This is a very older supermarket in a smallish shopping center, but also has plenty of parking spaces. The inside is very old, and could really use a remodel to make it more modern, but for a supermarket, it does the job. The cleanliness isn't quite there compared to a 99 Ranch Market or other chain supermarket, but thus one seems like a single location, non chain. The prices here are pretty reasonable, especially for the fruits, not sure how they are able to compete with other stores and offer fruits are relatively low low prices. Oranges are $0.49 LB! These is the cheapest I've seen, even previously, they've offered them at $0.39 LB too. Again, not sure how they can sell them so cheap! We also really like the Fried Tofu they sell here for $4.99, the only supermarket that sells this kind. It's large sized, fried square tofu puffs. We get this every visit we come here. They sell alot too! The customer service here is really non-existent, meaning there is basically none, unless you speak their language, which is vietnamese. They automatically start talking to you in vietnamese, not much english with the cashiers, although they do understand basic english. Plenty of parking in the lot, so no worries there and they also have plenty of shopping carts for customers to use. However, I wish they would provide some shopping cart corrals for the parking lot, so customers have a place to return it after use. Overall, just a 3 star. Basic supermarket, nothing spectacular.

As we browsed around, we noticed that some items were actually more affordable than what we're used to seeing, which definitely caught our attention. We also came across a really good deal on shrimp, so it seems like there are some worthwhile bargains if you take the time to look around. The store wasn't busy at all, and we did notice that a few sections had empty shelves. It also felt like certain areas could use a little more attention when it comes to cleanliness, which would make the shopping experience more enjoyable. Overall, I think this is a place worth stopping by, especially if you're looking to save a little on groceries. We'll likely come back again to explore more of their selection and take advantage of some of the better-priced items.

1 star: Extremely unpleasant checkout experience…read more I had an extremely unpleasant experience at the Milpitas location on 9/9/2026, at approx. 11:46 AM involving a cashier named Ha Ngoc. When I entered the checkout lane, Ha Ngoc had left her register to chat with a coworker in the lottery section despite customers waiting. After returning and scanning my groceries, she left the scanned items next to herself rather than moving them down the counter so I could easily reach and bag them. I politely asked her to move them down. She gave me a side-eye and only moved them slightly. After she finished scanning, I politely asked again. Instead of responding, she turned her back to me and ignored me despite my saying "excuse me" multiple times. She then began yelling in Vietnamese, which I do not understand. I asked to speak with a manager and ultimately with upper management because the situation continued to escalate. I was particularly uncomfortable when Ha Ngoc continued discussing the incident with other customers who had NOT witnessed what happened. What was especially disappointing was that all I wanted at that point was a simple apology. Instead, Ha Ngoc repeatedly responded, "No sorry." I eventually spoke with another management staff member, who listened to me and apologized multiple times. I appreciated her professionalism, and I want to make clear that my complaint is specifically about the conduct of the cashier involved, not the staff member who ultimately helped me. I emailed management afterward with a detailed account of the incident and requested a follow-up, but I have received ZERO response. I am posting this review because I believe customers should be treated with basic courtesy and respect, and management should take complaints about customer-facing employee conduct seriously.

I wanted to refund everything but I dont want to cost trouble at the store. More sadly she was rude to the grandma behind me, not helping the old gray hair lady and her rude action is pressuring her to 'hurry it up' Tina, shouldn't be acting this way to costumer.

Alright peeps let's see who is on the chopping block todayyyy!!!…read more Alright Smart & Final come on down!!!! Alright let's dive right into this review since this had to be said. Alright so for everyone wanting to know yes they have so much parking spots and yes they do have handicap parking spots available as well. The front of the building is kept neat and away from garbage on the floor so kuddos to you guys for always cleaning up. As we go inside the aisles are labels so you know where to go and stuff to find your item. The place inside was very neat and organized. Not going to lie I've gone to other smart and finals and they don't look anything like this one so I was excited to walk in here and see how organize it was. Well today I was here because I was grabbing some stuff. So the experience was great while shopping found everything I needed and more. The down fall was the cashier experience I had. Not going to lie if I thought that the service at Walmart in Martinez was bad wait till you read what happen to me with this cashier. So i decided to get two boxes of wine since again I had to grab some stuff for an order I was working on. This cashier made my expertise go from wow to dam you really should not be talking to people that way. So I show her the ID of the customer on my phone like we all do when we have an order for liquor and she then decided to rudely say no I need to see yours so I look at my wife and ask her to give her my ID to what she says if your the one buying the liquor it should be your I then looked at her and said yes it is she just has my id. She then looks at my wife and says where's the ID I need an ID my wife gives her my ID then I ask her do you need to scan this "the customers membership number or something in my phone" to what she replied rudely I'll do that when I'm done give me a minute. So I waited till she was done scanning my items to show her the bar codes she then says why did you tell me you had the bar codes I could have scan them in the beginning. Mind you she just had said to wait till she was done. I then had another order with me she then rudely says well how many orders is it to I respond just two. She started grabbing the items mind you I had 3 items that where bigger quantities so I did not put them In the belt due to them being heavy. So when she grab the water I told her I have 8 of them to she rudely said can you wait till I ask you how many you have before you tell me how many you have. With a voice that sounded like she was annoyed of doing her job. I was just trying to help her before she just input one. This kind of service made me not want to shop here for any of my ordered which messed up with my money. As she started to grab the other items that had a big quantity I stayed quiet and waited to tell her the amount she never asked if I had more of that same item so I waited till she was done to tell her to she yelled and said why didn't I tell her sooner about the multiple quantity in that item. It was like dam if I do dam if I don't. Sorry smart and final but people like this should not be working at your company. Us as customers we come to shop at your store righter for self or for others but still we come to shop here. I was not expecting ti get yelled at or belittled by this cashier with a bad attitude. Now for the moment of truth is this place Dendinger approved!!!! Unfortunately NO!!! This place is not Dendinger approved. Believe when I say I have had my bad shares with customer service experience but this really topped it off. This cashier not only made me never want to come back to this store she also made me lose on money due to me not accepting anymore orders from smart and final due to the fear of not being able to shop in another smart and final. I hope someone from that place does see this review and talk to this lady about proper customer service.

I think this was the first time I have stepped into this Walmart. It was easy to find parking…read morebecause the parking lot had so many spaces available, yet it was a crowded zoo inside which made the shopping experience less enjoyable. It was so hard to walk around without trying to dodge other shopping carts or other customers standing in the aisle and not moving aside to make space (zero awareness of surroundings). This visit comes after a road trip to the midwest where I visited many Walmarts and found those stores much more calm and enjoyable, than the visit to this store in Milpitas. I found a couple of items I needed. The tube of E6000 was easy to find in the crafting section, which saved me a trip to Michaels. I needed some frozen pineapples and walked toward the freezer aisles looking for frozen fruit signage. No signage for "frozen fruit", but saw a sign for "frozen vegetables" and guessed it might be down the same aisle. I walked halfway down the aisle before the kiddo called out to me to come back because I had walked right past the narrow section of frozen fruit. No signage near it, which made it difficult to notice. Signage at this store could be improved. On the upside, I found a HUGE bag of frozen pineapple chunks that will last me quite some time (I hope), so that I won't have to return here for quite some time. I wandered into the sporting goods section to see what kind of ice chests they had that also had wheels. They had every size except the size I was looking for. I was also looking for Cream of Coconut, but could not find it anywhere. Any guesses on what I was trying to make with pineapple and cream of coconut? :) I went to check out in a regular staffed register. Ok, I admit, I did not want to walk to the other end of the store to hunt down the self checkout, mostly because the store was so crowded. And then I was surprised to see a sign at the register that said "Visual & audio recording, Body-worn cameras in use". I did not see this at any of the other Walmarts I visited in the midwest. One big annoyance at this Milpitas store (which is also present at the other Walmart locations) is the lack of NFC tap-to-pay. You will not be using Apple Pay or Google Pay here. This is inconvenient, as I pretty much use tap to pay everywhere. Lack of this tap to pay feature makes transactions at Walmart feel less secure. And also appears to encourage credit card fraud. Or is the store's refusal to use NFC tap to pay -- which the majority of other retail stores already have -- a reflection of their perception that their clientele is less up to date with "newer" technology that has been around for quite some time. One good thing about the store is their restroom locations are consistent with all the other Walmart locations I've visited. There's a restroom at the front middle area, and another one in the back middle area. Even Target stores are not as consistent with their restroom locations. Oh and this store does receipt checks when you walk out the door, they must be identifying with Costco today. LOL The receipt checker was friendly.

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5…read moreAtmosphere: 5/5 I feel like the best part of this grocery store is that there's a decent variety of veggies, fruits, meats, and all sorts of Asian snacks and it's all fairly inexpensive especially compared to places like Safeway! They accept EBT and I believe they have student discount on Sundays as well. The place is generally clean and organized and the aisles have enough space for people to go by each other without being squeezed too much. I overall like shopping here especially because there's lots of food and drinks in the same plaza and it's nice to have a lot of businesses gathered in the same place. I feel like the large majority of the older people working here whether as cashiers at the main checkout or at the food or bakery are pretty nice and friendly, maybe some of them are more brusque but I don't mind it. The only people I feel like are rude are the majority of the young people who work here?? I don't really get why but there's frequently a young person working at the main checkout who seems like they're in an awful mood and takes it out on the customers in petty ways. So weird! Otherwise, this is a great, inexpensive place to shop at, and I love the Chinese snacks, fruits, and everything else that I wouldn't otherwise get so easily at other stores. Parking in the afternoons can be somewhat difficult but I always find a spot.

The aisles were so neat but what caught my eye were for the instant noodles. There were so many options to choose from. There were so many Korean snacks! Some I've had before but many more that I haven't. Lastly, the hot foods were the highlight! Many people come here not just to do grocery shopping. Many come here to eat the food cooked fresh!

HMart is my favorite Asian/ Japanese Food Market. I have yet to find a location that is as great as…read moretheir location in San Diego. That said, I went to this location on Fathers Day. I knew the store would be busy... and it was. The store was overwhelmed with customers, and it was like dodging cars on a freeway. The music was so loud and frenetic for having so many customers in the store that I left with sensory overload. Honestly, it would have been a huge benefit to the store and their employees to have calm music in the background to set a much more quiet atmosphere. It's known that music greatly helps to keep things calmer when things are this busy. The entire group I was with felt overwhelmed when we left the store and needed a quiet break from the chaos. This has never ever happened for me in an HMart so taking that into consideration. That said, I was looking for some Ahi for sushi making. They had fresh thawed ahi steaks for 5.99 lb which is a good price. Many people understand that freezing fish can kill parasites. They only had one pack so I asked at the meat counter if they had more. They said they would have them at 5 pm. The frozen ahi sashimi grade tuna was priced at something like $49.99 a pound. I've never seen a price like this which is was mind blowing. But I digress. A sign of the times? Not sure. I'm not a Karen. lol. I highly respect stores and how hard people are working especially on a busy holiday. I asked the butcher if it could possibly be given a bit earlier than 5 pm because I lived far away. He turns to another person and starts talking about me in Spanish thinking I did not hear or understand what he was saying. He was majorly bad mouthing me. I looked at him and said..."I understand Spanish." That's all I said. He looks embarrassed and said "sorry" and walked away really fast. I didn't follow him, talk to him, report him to management or say anything to even acknowledge his rudeness. I'm saying something here without his name on purpose. He was probably having a bad day. I honor that. But the entire experience at this location is one I've never had at HMart. Most likely I won't return to this location. No... I'm not mad at this butcher. I don't know what his day was like. I know what the energy was like in the store and the music alone with that many people could put anyone on edge. I didn't find many places in this store very helpful. We did get some great items which is why I rated it 2 stars. Otherwise it would have had one.
