Located in the bustling main street of Alhambra, I've unfortunately missed the chance to go here…read moresince until recently, so I'm glad I was able to catch them when they were open. 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.

My Mom and I came here to peruse around with no intention to actually buy. They have a vast amount…read moreof different dry meat, seafood, and fruit snacks. They are stored in big plastic clear bins. They also sell teas and other miscellaneous items. Price is by the pound depending on item. Some of the items may be $30+ per pound. Keep that in mind. I love their dry squid and pork jerky which are my go-tos. When I used to eat beef, I would get their beef jerky... so good! Anyway, I ended up getting a quarter pound of pork jerky. The lady who helped us was very friendly. However, when she was grabbing the pork jerky, I noticed she grabbed from the lower right corner instead of in the middle of the bin. Afterwards, I wondered if the older batch was at the corner and newer batch was everywhere else LOL. Oh well, I'll have to tell them where to grab the goods from next time. As I was paying, they offered my Mom and I a small cup of tea that tasted like dates. It was delightful. Thank you for the tea. All in all, it was a very short visit. If you know what you want, just tell them what you want and how much (btw, it's not self-service, they will get and bag the items for you), pay, and go. Easy peasy!

I asked for beef jerky and they began stuffing the bag without confirming the amount because I didn't even have a chance to say what I wanted. Then I got distracted because another staff member offered me a sample of pecans. It was good and the price was fair at $25/lb so I opted in to add that on my order. I requested half a pound. I turned away to talk to my wife which was the biggest mistake ever because as they were ringing me up, I see the bag and it looks WAY more than half a pound. I ask about it and she says "Half a bag, okay?" That's different than half a pound and she pretended not to speak English anymore?? I object and she says she's adding in free samples so it's okay. It all happened too fast, it was very confusing, and she also defaulted to pretend like she wasn't understanding me so I just paid and got tf outta there. I decided to weigh it when I got home and guess what? They even had the gall to give me less than what they charged me for LOL So they essentially peddle more than what you ask for to charge you more and then they don't even give you what they forced on you! So it's a double win for them and a lose-lose for the customer. Absolutely disgusting business practice, I can't believe this place is still in business. I'd give zero stars if I could. I hope they close soon, the place was empty when I was there probably because customers are figuring out these guys are scam artists.

While I was waiting for my to-go order, I walked around and saw Vua Kho Bo right across the parking lot. I am a very huge fan of a few of their dried fruits especially the jujube, logan, and black sesame candy plus their aromatic green tea. A sweet nice and friendly lady staff made eye contact with me and offered me some complimentary green tea. I couldn't say no so I walked right in. There were no other customers at the time, but moi. I got all their attention which was nice. Store was very clean and organized. It looks so pretty with the bright red decor and different colors from the dried goods. You can pretty much sample anything for free from the bins of dried goods. Got to sample the jujube and black sesame candy. They were good. I ended up buying one scoop of the jujube. Make sure you tell them exactly how much you want otherwise they may put in a few more scoops. It happened to me at another Vau Kho Bo location. I asked for half a bag, but I got 3/4 bag (that's one more scoop than what I wanted). I didn't get the black sesame candy cuz I still have some at home. I originally did not intend to buy the green tea, but when I was at the counter, I realized I ran out of them at home. I grabbed one bag of 100 individual tea bags for $75.00 which averages to $0.75 per tea bag. It's really great tasting green tea. Well worth the money! I'll be back for more once my stash of dried goods and green tea are gone. It may not always be at this location, but Vua Kho Bo will always be my go-to spot. If you haven't visited them, go check them out at one of their many locations. Just one tip, don't be afraid to say no because they will try to entice you to buy more.

That's pretty much all they sell here, but when you specialize in one thing, you better do it well... and they definitely do. I picked up a pack of the pork and chicken lap xuong and it was delicious. You can really taste that they're made fresh. I can honestly say this is probably going to be my new go-to spot whenever I need lap xuong. Whether you're throwing it in fried rice, eating it with sticky rice, or just pan-frying it on its own, it's hard to go wrong with these. If you're not local, they also ship, so you don't have to make the drive. Definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of lap xuong.

I can guarantee that you'll feel the same after you try Quang Tran's pork sausages. Quang Tran is a multi generational establishment. The young man who's the the main person at the store front is the grandson of the original sausage maker. His name is Ngon, I hope I spelled it correctly and he was more than helpful today. He was able to sell me 5 bags of pork sausage when another customer tried to buy everything out. Coming all the way from New York, I was MORE than appreciative of his kindness. Will I return?!? Absolutely .. I do everytime I come out to California. Now that Quang Tran ships, I think I'll get my Vietnamese sausage fix thru the mail ... definitely cheaper than a plane ticket. Wishing Quang Tran continued success!!!

As soon as I showed interest in an item, the sales lady will try to introduce more items, and usually pricey dried goods like abalone or fish maw or ginseng. When the sales lady realize I was only there to buy one particular product, she will then try to increase the quantity. Now here comes the best part: watch for the rapid change in attitude and friendliness when I "stood firm" and made it clear I was only getting one "cheap" item! Overall, Chung Chou City carries a variety of commonly used Chinese dried goods, but it was super hard to shop in peace when sales people were hovering over my shoulder every second.

Yuen Fung Sum Yong Trading store is located in the San Gabriel Superstore complex (at the corner of…read moreSan Gabriel and Valley). As you'd suspect, it serves the Chinese-speaking community specializing in Ginseng as well as other "health" items. Ginseng is believed to deliver many benefits as a stimulant, aphrodisiac, or general cure for whatever ails you. Since it only grows in a few places in the world and ... apparently ... has wide variances in quality, Ginseng can range in prices dramatically. Yuen Fung Sum Yong is one of the "cheaper" sellers of Ginseng in the area, but it can still be hundreds of bucks for a small pack of "the good stuff." This store's main offering is Made in America Wisconsin Ginseng; however, wild Ginseng, Bird's Nests, Shark's Fins (allegedly), and other rare Asian medicinal and health foods are available, too. Bring someone who speaks Mandarin to negotiate ... and good luck. There's got to be a price you can both agree is fair. Parking is free for the entire shopping center.
