Not sure why this place gets so much hate... I personally think it's a great change and the location is far more convenient than driving deep into foster city. Nearly every mid-pen Asian supermarket is far into the foster city area, and mega mart was underwhelming (see my review).
Pros:
right off 101 / hillsdale, no need to brave the 92 interchange traffic
Decent selection of Korean / Japanese goods along with Chinese items. I was surprised there was a good variety of frozen goods, ramen, snacks, meal kits, condiments, dry noodles. Kind of a one-stop for all of it .
Prices were reasonable, seemed cheaper than ranch 99.
Plaza has a bunch of salons, food establishments, near hillsdale mall
Cons: congested parking, very cold (bring your coat!), parts of the store need sprucing up (says its renovating) or smell a bit ( but being in the original site for marina mart, I think it's a relic of the old business).
