Discovering this 99 Ranch Market in my neighborhood has seriously bumped up my quality of life! Unlike many other Chinese grocery stores that I've experienced in the past, 99 Ranch is very clean, has a huge selection of Chinese, Korean, and other products, and most importantly, has beautifully fresh produce! (This last one is huge for me because in my previous experiences with Chinese grocery stores in Boston's Chinatown, I always felt like I was sacrificing on quality, especially with produce.)
Here are some other great things about this 99 Ranch Market:
+ Big parking lot!
+ They always have a large selection of their products on sale!
+ They sell fresh fish that they can prepare for you. See attached photo for all the different fresh seafood services they provide! (Options include clean only, clean & tail off, clean & head off, steak, and different frying or steaming options.)
+ They have a food court with a ramen shop, bakery, a dimsum shop, CoCo bubble tea, and other "cafeteria style" Chinese food options.
+ Not very busy/crowded! (This may change with time since they're still fairly new but compared with other grocery stores in the area with monstrous lines, this is fantastic!)
+ Did I mention the fresh, affordable produce yet?? (In general, I feel like the prices at 99 Ranch are very reasonable and competitive.)
Tip: If you're planning on eating in the food court, buy your groceries first and you'll get a couple vouchers to spend in the food court/bakery--$1 for every $20 you spend. The food court vouchers usually expire within the week, so unless you grocery shop frequently, definitely try to use it in the same visit!
Extra Pro Tip: I just learned this today by accidentally spending $80 in groceries. The cashier gave me eight $1 vouchers and I asked if they changed their policy so that it's now $1 for every $10 spent. She explained that on the weekends, if you hit $80 or more, they double your vouchers! (On the weekdays, the threshold is $60.) Sweet!
