I've been a loyal customer here, but the service and quality have really gone downhill lately…read more Recently, I asked for 25 thicker beef slices to wrap mushrooms, but they prepared too much and pressured me to buy $74 worth of packages multiple workers also came up and tried to pressure me as well. I purchased two out of three packs. They also tend to over-pack orders--like giving me 3.5 lbs of lamb instead of the 3 lbs I asked for--only for the bottom of the package to be filled with scrap lamb and uneven cuts. I'm only speaking about the hot pot cuts. Everything else is OK. They do have a section where they're selling old restaurant supplies cause it is a old restaurant also good snack snacks in the back, but I definitely will not be back from my hot pot meat.

It seems the tariffs have not hit this spot yet. They have products mostly from Asia at the Pang Kee Bargain Market. It also has a signage for CJ Latino Inc. I was able to find ingredients for my special Ohh Don ( Udon) noodles. They also have lots of sauces from Sriracha sauce to gallons of soy sauce. You find a lot of different drink mixes for milk tea and also cans of Ovaltine. You will also find different types of tea. Instant noodle soups are found from Pho Bo to Spicy Ramen.

This shop is amazing. Lots of variety of everything!…read more Dry goods, noodles, snacks, instant coffee, sauces, candy, seasonings, drinks and cold drinks. But be careful, because it's narrow a$$ aisles are insane. You WILL be touching each others butts or hips and shoulders. I never stay there longer than 10-15 mins as it gets extremely overwhelming. I feel pressured to leave or hurry and pay because it's so narrow and it's uncomfortable when you or someone wants to pass by. I don't think I full looked thru every thing to see if they even have an item or not. It's even more annoying when you line up to pay. Because there's only one line. And it gets pretty long even tho it may be 4-5 ppl because it goes into the aisles. Again, which is extremely narrow!!

I love this shop it has all the essentials for great prices. Does anyone know the hours?read more

Cool little sushi spot in North Beach with plenty of fresh options to choose from. The staff here…read morekeeps everything clean and well stocked with options. Place is great for a quick and easy meal. They have some seats along the window near the front entrance if you want to eat there, and the prices are pretty fair for the quality. I'll definitely be back for more quick sushi, followed by some pizza slice action nearby. Then wake myself back up from the food coma with a good coffee from one of the many great cafes around North Beach.

Ebiko deserves its flowers. I go to CCSF and as a student I need something that will fuel me for…read morethe BART commute after class during rush hour and Ebiko did well. There are plenty of places to get sushi in the city. But at this price point and convenience + super cute Muji style seating area, Ebiko can't be beat. I came here during the 100 degree heat wave in early September and the AC felt nice. My meal at Ebiko was a nice respite before making the trek across the fidi. Compared to Mitsuwa, Osaka Market, and Nijiya, I do feel like Ebiko could be more competitive if they worked on their sushi rice recipe. I felt it wasn't as flavorful as it could be. This did highlight how fresh the fish was, but because I love sushi rice, I wanted more from Ebiko.

The famous Mow Lee is a legend in itself. It is one of the oldest continuously operating Chinese…read morebusinesses in North America. It was founded in 1856, which means it has been in business for about 170 years as of 2026. Originally, Mow Lee Shing Kee supplied preserved meats and Chinese groceries to the growing Chinese immigrant community during the Gold Rush era. Today, it's best known for: * Chinese sausages (臘腸) * Cured pork (臘肉) * Chinese bacon and preserved duck * Traditional dried goods and pantry staples Many locals consider Mow Lee a "living museum" because it has survived: * the 1906 earthquake and fire, * the Chinese Exclusion era, * multiple economic downturns, * and generations of change in Chinatown. If you enjoy old Chinatown history, Mow Lee is in the same league of historic institutions as Sam Wo (1908), but Mow Lee predates it by more than 50 years and is among the very oldest Chinese-owned businesses still operating in San Francisco. I always stop by to get a bunch of their preserved goodies as gifts or for personal use... they are all super yummy. Service is a typical no-BS style, just get in - order - pay - and next! ;)

As I chose 3 separate bags, I asked her to individually price each bag which she does, proceeds to staple the this red paper as their business card to the bag, every bag....then throws the bags on the scale to give me a total price. This total price becomes higher because of the papers added, almost 2 bucks. Seriously, this order was already over 250 bucks. What a hustler! She knows it too cause I got the silent treatment after. Not even a thank you......I'm done, if it wasn't for my family and friends, wouldn't go back cause it's the principle of business.

This is such a hidden gem! I was able to stop by this small Korean market near Japantown, and the…read morehot food section immediately caught my eye. I noticed there was a kitchen in the back of the market, which made everything even more appetizing--I loved the thought that the food could have been made fresh that same day. It was so hard to choose between the two proteins, spicy pork and beef, because they both looked incredibly delicious. I ended up going with the beef, and it immediately satisfied my craving for a quick and delicious grab-and-go lunch. The beef tasted fresh, and the flavors were bold and robust. I also added the Korean soy garlic fried chicken, and it paired surprisingly well with the kimbap. The fried chicken wasn't quite as crispy as I hoped, but the flavor definitely made up for it. I'll definitely be stopping by again whenever I'm near Woori!

I have a feeling I'll be back many many times.....I…read morelove kimbap but it is honestly a pretty time-consuming dish to make, so I'm really glad I have Woori nearby. The filling to rice ratio is really generous, and I like that they have this bigger assorted version with three flavors- fishcake, tuna, and kimchi so I could try a bit of everything! Loved the kimchi one a lot. Gotta come back to try the other flavors out. Didn't have time to explore the rest of the market, but they seem to carry a bunch of Korean ingredients that are hard to find at a regular grocery store! Lots of nostalgic snacks, seasonings, I even saw fresh Korean rice cake which I'll definitely be trying out next time.

It's located on Stockton street and it's called Golden Way Trading Company. On a Summer stroll almost Fall I landed on Stockton ( not the city) street at the Golden Way Trading Company. Inside you will discover lots of different items such as mushrooms and noodles ( not Angel Hair) along with different sauces. They have everything from canned Ovaltine to canned Pho broth. You will also find an aisle of liquor ranging from cognac to red wine. This place has many ingredients like corn and others to make breakfast , lunch, and dinner.
