Manila Oriental Market

December 23 at 5:14 PM – I walked in carrying a Whole Foods paper bag with a bottled juice and had not purchased anything yet. The staff member at the entrance immediately pointed at my bag and commented on the drink inside. This approach comes across as accusatory and unwelcoming. Handling situations this way will drive customers away. Staff should be trained to communicate store policies politely and respectfully, not in a manner that makes customers feel uncomfortable.

I often shop at this supermarket. Last time, my wife bought capelin here and was given a bag of stale capelin. This time, I came here to buy pig tails. I personally selected three whole pig tails with tail tips (the tail tip is the most delicious part of the pig tail) and asked the clerk to cut them into sections for me. But when I got home and opened the bag, I found that they weren't three whole pig tails at all, and there was only one tail tip left (I personally selected three). They must have replaced the most delicious part with the rest that others didn't want. In the future, everyone should watch the clerk cut the meat while they are cutting it, otherwise you won't be able to find the meat you selected.

Very reasonably priced Asian supermarket — perfect for any and all Chinese and Filipino cooking needs. Southeast Asian (but lesser extent Thai) and Latino groceries available. Produce — while fresh — sometime require some digging to avoid the over-ripe items. Exotic vegetables, fruits and herbs. Wide selection of fresh fish kept on ice make for a visual treat. Well-stocked butcher. Asian snacks, condiments and sauces abound.

Honestly if youre a business person, excelsior need another asian market in the neighborhood. Cause this place sucks so bad at customer service and has a very aggressive no bag policy which is dumb cause people want to use their bag to shop! And they only offer plastic bag duh.

This place has more than just Filipino foods. It's all Asian and has a huge fish department with many live shellfish. Make sure you wear a warm jacket because the is like a fridge.

Incredible grocery store with lots of really lesser known items like Sichuan doubanjiang, frozen Calamansi, Buko, locally made tofu, asian fruits all sorts of eggs, every brand of asian sauces, coconut milks, and southeast asian ingredients. Not for those who aren't used to a smellier grocery store experience but absolutely an invaluable part of my weekly shopping.

The Manila Oriental Market remains true to its DNA in serving the Asian population, especially those who still have nascent roots in their home countries. There's live fish in tanks, on ice, fresh meat still being cut up to specs or custom desires, lots of packaged stuff in Chinese characters, aisles upon aisles of imported canned food and labels you won't find in any ordinary stateside market. And the crowd is as Asian as ever, you can hear all kinds of languages all over the place, it's cacophonous in there, like an orchestra tuning up before a performance, but it's music to my ears as it embodies an authenticity you can't fake. Yep, and there's the shuffling crowd overstuffed in limited space all driving their carts with reckless abandon, no signal lights or any hint of direction they're going. Sound familiar? Nonetheless, all those are positives, unique experiences where aesthetics take a back seat to functionality, no space wasted, stuff to the rafters as you shop with music wailing a bit too loud on blown speakers. This place is diversity on steroids and I love it.

You can buy some veggies I’m Muslim so I can get only fish different type of fishes and shrimps. Yeah, you can buy some lot of noodles sausage

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. This supermarket is absolutely the worst. Most people only come here out of convenience since the area lacks other Asian grocery options. However, the produce and meat departments are often unacceptable, so I've seen moldy vegetables, dried-out fruits, and old, unappealing meat on multiple occasions. The worst part is their dishonesty and poor customer service. On several occasions, my family purchased fresh, live fish at $10-$13 per pound, only to receive a completely different, dead, and lower-quality fish after it was cleaned in the back. They blatantly switch out the fish, charging you for the fresh one but giving you a subpar substitute. Additionally, the fruit they sell is often old and rots very quickly after purchase. This place is both dishonest and unsanitary. Avoid shopping here unless you absolutely have no other choice!

I came here to today looking for canned baby corn, canned quail eggs & clams. I found the canned corn (middle of the aisle & middle shelf, almost sold out) but for the life of me, I couldn't find the canned quail eggs. I walked a few aisles to find a employee and asked if he knew where or if they have anymore, and he walked with me back to the aisle and pointed to the BOTTOM OF THE SHELF at the first row. Like .. no one is going to see that! But I so appreciated his help! I used their vegetable bags to hold the ladle to scoop my clams and another bag to hold the basket. They usually yell at us to not waste their bags but ... what do you expect me to do? Get my hands wet and dirty?? The guy that helped weighed my clams gave me 2 extra bags so it wouldn't dirty my own shopping. I wish they had a better spot to put ladles and baskets. I notice the few times I've been here this year, their service is better, esp from the male employees. They're more willing to help and find things and even bring items out from the stockroom for you.

I usually come here only as a last resort or urgency for asian groceries since it's closer than Hmart or Ranch99 They have a pretty large selection and variety of asian ingredients for really cheap prices, but the smell inside is really hard for me to shop comfortably. It doesn't look or feel sanitary and depending on the aisle I'm in, I've definitely gagged involuntarily.

So glad I found another Asian supermarket that's closer than 99 ranch! The prices are also more reasonable and the selection is equally good. There're also way more Filipino, Thai, and Vietnamese ingredients than other Asian supermarkets. The meat and seafood were all fresh and organized and not smelly! The vegetables were also packed nicely. I'm coming here for the bulk of my Asian groceries in the future!

Extremely rude, the employee at the meat section, who always wear mask and hoodie cover his head. He always yelled, talked in bad way. He glares at me when I ring the bell to buy when no one there. I never like his way of treating customers. Always have bad experiences with him only, for long time . Last time was worse, he yelled at me, roll his eyes, gave me order like a boss. He did not want to give service as I asked him if I could look at the item. He told me no and didn't want to do and yelled at me loud. If you don't want to work, then leave. You need to serve your customers the right way or everyone soon will stop coming here. If you are a boss, then don't work. Every time , I feel he words sound and attitude harass and abuse me and customers. I hope this will change.

I went today and got three fish, only wanted fins cut off. Head intact. The fish guy let someone walk away with my order (3 catfish, head intact, fins removed). I objected, recognizing it was my order. Then 10 minutes later he hands me fish that is not what I ordered. It was filleted--I needed the bones and head for my recipe. I couldn't communicate this to him because of language barrier and walked away with $40 of fish I can't use. I came here because it's in the neighborhood, but never again. I will switch to May Wah even though it is further away. Everything here is moldy and rotten anyway.

Totally love this spot. They have a great variety of yummy snacks and drinks and extensive selections of seafoods and veggies. I'm stoked with finding this gem

Love this place! Wonderful options for vegetables and meat. Cash only for purchases under $10.

I always buy oyster bags and crab here. There is this asian man in the back that always has an attitude. It's terrible to come into one of the few markets and have to spend hard working money and always experience terrible hospitality when being serviced. Black people go elsewhere our money is not appreciated here.

Dishonest staff working in this store especially in the fish and meat section. Make sure you check the items you are buying.

I visited Manila super almost weekly in the last few months, but today will be my last time. Unsafe inconsistent rules possibly by racist employees. I came after work carrying convertible bag with two laptops inside. Upon entering, this lady ask me to leave my bag in the counter. They said bc it is bag pack. I said I can convert it to regular bag which I see no one is leaving on the counter. They said no. Well I don't trust them with my valuables. I can't leave my work laptops in car and either because it is SF ;) Walking out was my only option. (I didn't see any bag pack in the counter either BTW)

They have fresh produce, noodles, seafood, meat, frozen food. We like to get the low sugar ice cream. Wish ice cream wasn't so expensive! Wish they would clean it up a bit. They usually have what we are looking for. Prices of items are more reasonable but now produce whether organic or not have gone up.

99 Ranch isn't the only game in town when it comes to Asian supermarkets as this well known spot in the Excelsior has the same saturation of Asian grocery items in the same chaotic environment. We all know it wouldn't be a true Asian supermarket unless it was chaotic and crowded. It should come as no surprise that the essential items for a Filipino kitchen were well stocked here, but lots of their inventory spans the continent. China and Southeast Asia were especially well represented here. In abundance were soy and tofu products, teas and flour, dried items like chips and candies, and quite a selection of seafood in a dedicated area (photo: https://bit.ly/361z52N). Japanese items were not as plentiful here, but I think the biggest gap was the lack of a prepared hot food section focused on Filipino homestyle specialties like adobo or dinuguan, which I think would encourage new customers. But perhaps they didn't want to deal with additional health codes in an already constrained space. Speaking of which, the parking lot always looks full to me. RELATED - Exploring the Outer Mission? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/37B1acE

Beware the sales prices. My first time here and I was hoping to not have a negative experience and I did at checkout. Grabbed a bottle of 3 Mien Sriracha as it was $2 off the price of $4.99, complete bait & switch as the $4.99 price is for 28 oz, at the register after communication and holding up the line I was able to get the $2.99 price on the 17oz size, a savings of .50 cents displayed on my receipt. F#@ckery, all this held up the line for awhile and also wasted my time. My first visit to Manila Oriental Market, was wondering about the low stars, now I know. Awful customer service, I'll go elsewhere or keep my expectations low. Thanks for holding up customers disputing your own special, don't see how that's good for business or having mine again. Will commute to Sunset Super or elsewhere. While I'm here, aisles are narrow, end of the frozen aisle where the dumplings are smells something awful. Hate leaving negative Yelp reviews(or any) but they deserve it. Went to customer service after checkout without resolution either, maybe they don't get how math works. Attached photo shows prices and the "sale". Without this BS would've given them 3-4 stars. P.S. all returns must be made within 3 days I noticed on the checkout screen, not that they'll make it easy

WATCH THE CASHIER AND CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS! I don't usually write reviews on grocery stores because these are essential markets but this left a sour taste in my mouth. My parents came home with $100 in groceries. Upon reviewing the receipt, my mom noticed 2 items that were not hers. Totalled $25. It was buried in between her items. The cashier must've snuck in HER ITEMS and made us pay for her thievery. Disgusting. Watch out if you shop here. Besides that, the market is a little gross but what small supermarket isn't? Hit or miss on most items and a little expensive. Small parking lot with a Muni stop outside for accessibility.

Few days back I bought some carp fish and after bringing the fish home I had to throw away the whole thing. The fish was rotten and smelling so bad. It was absolutely not edible. Will never go back to this store as I found their product quality is horrible and unreliable.

Stumbled across this hidden gem. Needed some ingredients to make some Filipino dishes for my fiends housewarming party. Thank goodness for convenience. One stop shop for seafood, meats and veggies. Nothing to complain here but just the parking

Ok, at one time, I believed MOM was ok for the price and rarity of shopping for Asian ingredients. Well no more. The new kid on the block is WEEE at https://www.sayweee.com/en When I and my family bit into the cooked tilapia from WEEE, it tasted sooo soft & fresh, nothing like MOM's deep frozen for months if not years fishes. And the cost was $2-$2.50 per tilapia at WEEE and they completely clean them. At this time, WEEE has just about everything you need in MOM without having to dress, take a car or bus there, hunt for the ingredients in tight spaces where you're running into everybody, and lastly stand in long unbearable lines. At WEEE you just place your orders thru their app on your smartphone, look for the day you want them delivered at Checkout which should start in 2 days (or later depending on what you're buying) and they come that day while you track them on your app on the smartphone. You can continue to modify (remove/add items) your order until 1pm the day before the day of delivery without added charges. The other upside is you can use paypal and if paypal allows it, you can set it up for BNPL (buy now pay later) which helps when you have a lot to buy and/or there are great deals you need/want. If you're delivered rotten stuff, as long as you take a pic immediately of it and upload it to them and state the reason for a refund, then they'll issue it which you have a difficult time doing with MOM. There are reviews for the items so don't forget to look, esp if it's an easily hard to-preserve item like fruits & vegetables. I try and look at the most recent reviews to see if there are any problems. If the items are limited, I may skip the item, not knowing how long they've stored it. They have fruits & veggies that you'll only find in Asia. Not many other Asian markets can rival them in diversity & rarity. They've got a big diversified frozen section like filipino ice cream, filipino frozen meals like Magnolia's Pork Sisig, Orient Gourmet's [Pork Menudo, Ginisang Monggo, Paksiw na Pata (Pork Hock Stew), Beef Kaldereta (Braised Beef with Vegetables), Beef Kaldereta (Braised Beef with Vegetables), Bistek Tagalog with Beef and Onions (Beef Steak), Bicol Express, Dinuguan (Pork Stew in Beef Blood), Laing (Taro Leaves in Coconut Milk)], thai frozen curry meals, frozen chinese steamed bbq buns and other types of buns, gyoza, pot stickers, lumpia, etc. I even needed non-Asian items like grass fed milk and yogurt and yes, they had those too. They also have many delicious Asian rices from Thailand, Korea, Vietnam. Japan, India, etc. Their only downside beside consistent freshness is they're on the pricey side, but hey for great quality and diversity, it's understandable. Also, unlike the bricks & mortar market, the package weights of fruits & veggies is already pre-packed, so for example, if you only want 1 pound of bananas, the only size they have may be 3 lbs. Also, sometimes, if the price is very low like $2 or less in the packaged section, then you may have to buy 2 minimum. Can't stand the crooked cashiers, the fact that MOM deliberately sells the rotten fruits and/or veggies while hiding the rot, can't stand waiting in the long lines that bury you in the food aisles with1 someone's butt in your face or vice-versa, can't stand having to turn in your bags so they don't suspect you of stealing, can't stand the low parking spaces at MOM, tired of trudging along without even any benches to rest on or electric shopping carts to help you shop with if you're disabled in any way, then say OUI, OUI, MON AMI, I'M GOING TO LET WEEEEEEE DELIVER IT TO ME!!!

I have been going to Manila for years, I go to the store 2-3 times a week / every week because I wanted to support local business and up until today I have always overlooked the shady things that happen there because it's none of my business but since I'm piss I will be pouring it all out today. - there is a veggie manager of some sort, she is always harassing and bullying her staff. She would talk down on them even when customers are in the store, we can all hear and see the act but she would just continue. - the guy that is in charge of cutting the beef, he is always cutting it wrong. You are supposed to cut the beef against the grain so that it is tender, he cuts it however he wants. Making it super chewy so even if you buy the expensive cut, after he cuts it, it will taste no different to beef pot roast cut. - the seafood guy will never sell you just one freaken crab, he always tells me to get two and I don't need two. - there are boxes everywhere and sometimes the delivery or stocking person will push your items out of way even if it cause your things to fall over. - if you are not an Asian and you have a backpack, you gota check it in at the cashier. - the cart are all old and broken , the squeak and bounce when you push them - the bread and Garlic is almost always moldy -if you want freash mint leaves, you gota ask them because the ones the have out, sometimes is not fresh. - sometimes the tan Ho have bugs eggs and it smells like bugs - also their squash, the baby green one , opal is it? Is always old. When you cut into it it is grayish and the seeds are always huge. Anyways but this is what got me angry today: I went to Manila to get some protein for hotpot and I bought 1 LB of Shrimp, 1 LB of Baby Octopus, 3 LB of beef and a salmon fillet, ALL of my seafood were bad. It smells bad, and it taste like it has been left out for days. I only live 10 mins away from the store and as soon as I got home, I open all my bags to start cooking, I notice a disgusting smell, it smells soooo bad, I sniffed everything and it turns out, the shrimp, the octopus and even the salmon has gone bad. It looks like the shape and the coloration is okay but it smells like rotten tuna. So needless to say, today was it. After many years of over looking the little things from here I will not be going back ever again Good bye cashier friends, it was nice knowing y'all.

Other than 99 Ranch, Pacific Super, most times I shop at Manila Oriental Grocery store with my family!!! And the things what we buy most is vegetables like lettuce, box a ramen noodles, small box of tea, & etc!!! And what I like most about the Manila Oriental Grocery store it's convenient and very close to home!!! For those people who live around the Manila Oriental Grocery store it's a good place to do your grocery shopping!!!

I love having large Asian supermarkets in the city, but this one has been a hit or miss for me. I like getting ingredients for hot pot here, and getting all the Asian ingredients, snacks, and fresh fish. But watch out for freshness in their produce section. I once bought a pack of three apples where two of them turned bad inside, as in they were half brown on the inside. That was a huge bummer. My experience here has mostly been positive because the store is pretty clean and prices are good, but the bad apples really hit me. I hate buying stuff that has gone bad, and so just be careful when choosing your produce and never choose the last of the batch. Oh yeah, I like getting noodles here because they have tasty hot pot noodles that I can't seem to find anywhere else. This is probably not great for you, but I loooove vitasoy especially the Hong Kong milk tea one and the black soy milk. They have a large section of vitasoy, like almost a whole aisle's worth. Also, you can buy your rice here. That's a big staple for me because I like the good, Japanese rice, not the mediocre Trader Joe's kind. I can't live without this kind of store, but I wish they had better quality control.

They have a decent selection of vegetarian/vegan frozen stuff for a Asian grocery store. Decent meaning about 3 refrigerators in the frozen aisle. Most of it is is stuff you'd use in hot pot (same brand of stuff they have at Rainbow market if you're familiar). Vegan "fish balls", "mean balls", pepper "beef"...

Sales rep for the store are not too courteous rather abrasive they don't understand English very well and get get angry C without the customer I don't shop there any more& spend my money to get yelled at by the store sales rep I'll go else well who treat the customer more courteous and b friendly Not a pleasant experience! I'll go to a nearby Asian market who's will will treat their customers more courteous!& I'll will pay for the item without an language barrier

I love Manila Oriental Market (MOM). Honestly, I would give it 4.5 stars. If you like to save money and pay a fraction of the price for vegetables, fruits and meats, go there. You don't have to be Asian to benefit from that. What my daughter loves about it is that you can get lots of poki. Unfortunately, they don't have Yan Yan. I have no idea why people are saying it's so expensive, but maybe that's because I mostly get my fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, noodles, and hardly anything else. For example, for a green bell pepper at Safeway, it was $1.49 each. At MOM, it's $1.79 a lb. I got 2 for $1.45. Then they'll have these random specials. Last week I got 2 boxes of blueberries which my son devoured. Last week, I bought 1 single rambutan for $.99 at Safeway. Today at MOM, I bought around 30 of them for $4.38. Today, I got 2 boxes of strawberries for $.99. I buy ground beef there for $3.29/lb while at Safeway it could be $9-$11/lb. Their fresh, boneless chicken breast is $2.99/lb. while Safeway can range from $7-$10/lb. I've been to some gross Asian markets. This isn't one of them and I've never had anyone be rude to me, quite the opposite. Also, I don't understand the complaints about the parking. In this neighborhood, it's great that they actually have a parking lot and I've always found a spot. Oh by the way the posted hours for opening are incorrect. They open at 9 am. I highly recommend Manila Oriental Market. Just give it a try.

A good sized Asian-specialty grocery store but prices are higher than their counterparts, at least for crabs. Cost was $8.99/lb on 19OCT18, whereas it was $7.99/lb at two other Asian grocery stores a few miles away in Daly City. Their tanks were murky and not even full of crabs. Some of the ones chosen were missing a leg or even a claw. If buying fish, they will prep/even cook for you. Give the butcher your fish, grab a number ticket, then return to pick up. Veggies and staples are reasonably priced - compared to western grocery stores - always a plus. Then again, the drawback is the store's uncleanliness and worn-out look. Note I was on the way to a crab boil and didn't have time to go elsewhere or else would have. Unless you're in the area and want the convenience, it's just too out of the way for Daly City folks. Go out of your way to the Asian grocery stores in that city instead.

Everything Oriental foods. Fresh fish, frozen meats and lots of ingredients and sauces for your Asian dishes.

Open during Shelter-In-Place order! At times there is a line, and then there isn't on certain days. I believe it depends on the time and day. I appreciate the frontline workers and system they have set up with having sanitizer ready for us coming in and out of the market. Man, did I think pacific Super has a foul smell, it is worse here!! I feel Manila Oriental has its pros and cons compared to Pacific Super. What they have more here compared to their competing supermarkets nearby is their produce section!! Their supply of certain vegetables and fruits is spot on!

I am kicking myself because I have been living about 7 minutes drive from this market for the last 5 years and had never known it was there. Today, I went in, and I love it! I did see the reviews beforehand, so I was expecting it to be dingy and filthy. I walk in, and it's a regular asian market. Pretty much what you'd expect. I don't know I guess some people are spoiled with their 88 Ranch or something. Sure, I guess 88 Ranch is a bit cleaner, but this is not bad. I thought the stench was gonna be unbearable... it's a totally regular city asian market. It's got a classic asian seafood market within, so yeah, in that area, it smells like fish. But that's how a seafood market should smell... I love looking at all the variety in this market. Definitely more on the Chinese and Southeast asian side - not so much korean and japanese type stuff. I love that the lunchables are right next to the tofu skin. And I love there is a huge aisle of pate for banh mi. And oh my jesus, if you go, you must look at their fish sauce aisle. Anyhow, don't like to hate on peeps, but what I hear are a bunch of complainers. Especially that guy that complained that the manager didn't give him the New York steak for 2 cents because it was mislabeled. Have some integrity. People make mistakes. They're trying to run a business. Is this place perfect, or an asian market that impresses? No. But i have definitely been to worse. So this place will most definitely do for my asian grocery needs.

Ranch 99 is a palace compared to this place. Lots of flies in the produce section, tall and narrow claustrophobic aisles and an overall run down dinginess makes this place very unappealing. Seriously the best part about it was the 1970's Muszak playing. The line takes forever too and I didn't realize there was a credit card $10 minimum until I was being rung up - I didn't even know stores did that anymore. The narrow one way parking lot is a joy to navigate too....I suppose most of the customers are just happy to have an Asian market in the neighborhood but if you have a car and want a more pleasant shopping experience, go to Ranch 99 instead.

I love this supermarket as it has many fresh produce and seafood, even tho it's EXPENSIVE!! Like .. there goes my stimi check!! Came by today to buy silver tie noodles, beef tenderloin balls, seafood mushroom and cilantro for hot pot. Ended up buying some yellow radish, sweet chili sauce even tho it's quite pricey compare to kukje & wah mai, but didn't want to waste gas and time. I was sad cuz ... I usually buy this round rice noodle with lanksa sauce package inside, but it was nowhere to be found. I guess they stop ordering it. And idk where to look for it cuz no where else have it (trust me, I have checked Outside, there was a staff standing there waiting to spray the cart handle or basket handle if you want. But it doesn't seem he cared. He did stop an elderly lady from going in because she didn't wear a mask, like ... where have you been lady ..?? Crowd control doesn't exist in there LoLs Ppl just wear mask (or if they have their own gloves) and go about their time buying and touching w/e as if just normal times but it wasn't a big deal. Service is just standard, nothing special. I always feel awkward when I pay, I never know if I will be asked do I need a bag or do I have to tell them. Some times they're loud and stern, which throws me off and I want to shout back at them And some times they're really nice and soft spoken which makes me feel nice too. Last time I was here was .... 7-8 months ago LoLs That's now you know I don't come here often or at all.

Quick take: shopping here out of convenience This grocery store is conveniently located in a residential neighborhood. Being able to walk here is a big plus. But I find their prices to be a bit high for an Asian market...not Oriental market. I only stop here if I need one or two items. This store has a $10 minimum for credit card transactions. So I always have to make sure I have cash on me. The parking lot is dirty and stinky. A lot of crazy drivers in a tight little lot. I only come here on foot. Haha Overall, good spot for last minute items. Not a good place to shop if you need a weeks worth of groceries.

This is a great place to browse and window shop! I am grateful I came after lunch or I would have ended up buying way too many things. The seafood area is fishy smelling, but not near as bad as some Asian Markets I've been in. The staff are very friendly. One shelf stocker in particular, was patiently guiding a senior gentleman to vinegar. Later, to his horror, he realized he meant sugar (Suka in Tagalog is vinegar). The stocker kept addressing the senior as 'papa' and was very patient, and ended up running up to him to guide him to the correct aisle. Since I had no reason to buy anything at the moment, I ended up window shopping and taking a ton of pictures of things that caught my eye. This is also my way of visually cataloguing what they had so that I can plan a menu later. And, I could not resist buying a flat of Bing cherries for $1.69/lb. Conveniently located on Trumbull St and Mission St corner. Entry into the parking lot is via Mission St or Craut (which is a one-way)--you cannot access it from Trumbull. P/S: I got into the cherries this evening. Some were good, a few were great. A few almost made me wretch :P I guess you do get what you pay for :(

I come for their cheap meats, seafood, fruits, veggies, and sauces but I stay for the old school new wave music

Open during Shelter in Place. TL;DR - Great prices for all the Asian goods I need! During Shelter in Place, they've done a great job at keeping their employees and shoppers safe. They provide hand sanitizer and cleaning solutions to clean your cart/basket. There's a person in front that watches your bags (no reusables at this time). They ensure that the market is not too crowded. All their employees have gloves and masks. The cashiers have plexiglass barriers. They accept cashless payments. Each visit I've made, it's been abundantly clear that this supermarket is well-stocked with all of your favorite Asian brands (for example, I like the rose brand rice paper) and goodies (for example, I needed Bun Rieu seasoning cubes and minced crab in a can). They also have tons of fresh veggies that are reasonably priced. Their meat and seafood section rocks! I love that I can get two pounds of pork bones for my broth for less than $6. I love that I can get lean ground pork for dumplings at $2-something a pound. I love that there are tons of different whole fish to buy, and they'll clean and cut it for you too! I can't say enough good things about this supermarket. This location has a small parking lot. Normally, street parking is easy to find as well.

Best Asian market around! I highly recommend!! Food: good quality produce, meats, veggies, dry goods, and very wide selection of products. I can always find what I need here whether it's American good or Asian goods. I even find things here that I can't find at Ranch 99! Pricing: great value. Either comparable or less expensive than other options Service: the butcher, cashier, and other workers are always friendly and helpful. Parking: never have any issues finding parking even during weekends Additional comment: during corona virus hoarding times, the market was fully stocked, including some hard to find items like rice and masks (at least as of 3/19)

Pros: cheap prices on Asian food and produce, parking lot Cons: it's dirty and kind of smelly I recently moved to SF and have been in search of a decent Asian market to shop at. When I used to go to school at Berkeley I would shop at 99 ranch. This market is like a 99 ranch but a bit more dirty. The shopping carts are pretty gross so bring some hand sanitizer.... it would also be helpful to bring bags (but honestly I'm not even sure that they charge) The produce section is pretty good! Lots of Asian produce that you can't find in your average Whole Foods or Safeway. The meat market is questionable on how sanitary it is, but you can't really beat those prices! They have a ton of seafood, where they have whole fish laying out for you to choose. You should probably come early if you want that because even though it's on ice, it's just sitting there and people probably poke at it and stuff. I really loved the options of fried noodles and spices! I got some sinigang soup base packs for 79cents!! Woohoo! What a steal! The spices are soooooo cheap here! But I did notice that they don't really carry too many Korean spices or options. Overall, this will probably be my shopping place for Asian groceries until I find somewhere better.

Never knew about this market and wish I did sooner! Not the most extensive place, but it really came in clutch when I needed very specific items like Ube, Pandan, Calamansi, etc. A bit of a trek to get there if you aren't in the area, but I'm glad it's there!

If you're looking for a million different sauces, veggies you won't get at any Safeway, Lucky etc... that's the place to go! I love to shop there because the selection of sauces, spices etc is insane. Always buy new things to try out. Today I was looking for several different things and found a store employee - JOSÉ - One of the nicest, kindest and most helpful person you'll meet !!!! He went out of his way to help me find stuff, and on top of it, he knows so much about all the products that he even recommended what to buy. He told me he works there 7 days a week... I really hope the owner really appreciates José

Large selection of Asian items, produce, seafood but make sure you take photos of the sale signs for the cashiers. Bought the sale short ribs that butcher cut and mis-labeled as expensive beef that I fortunately caught at checkout, and good thing because those ribs were the worst stringy, tough, hard to chew ribs I've ever tasted that ruined my Korean short ribs recipe that involves baking for 1.5 hours! Maybe they were on sale because they were old! Dress warmly, as this place is usually like a freezer inside! I regularly shop here, but will NEVER again buy meat there ever again!

Great for all your Asian food specialties at reasonable prices. Food only! No housewares or toiletries. Nothing special for American food. Just typical staples at no discount. I prefer Grocery outlet for discount high quality and organic produce. Manila has good fresh seafood selection as well with a full deli for fresh seafood and meat like you'd see in Asia as opposed to a Safeway deli counter that would be full of processed meats and cheeses. Manila has all kinds of fish swimming in tanks behind the counter, poultry and pork chopped in sections, bones for soup, etc. Not your typical shrink wrapped boneless, skinless breasts although you might find that if you looked and you could probably request it. In summation, pretty much everything Asian is here in decent quality, great selection and reasonable prices. For American food I shop Grocery Outlet, especially the one on SVN for organic produce. Sometimes I hit them back to back so that I don't have to shop 2 separate times. They're not far from each other. Pro Tip for Manila: dress like you're going skiing. It's refrigerator temperature inside.

Pros: Lots of great imported snacks and drinks that are difficult to find elsewhere in the neighborhood. We stocked up on some imported Redbull (bottle form) and some veggies and spices for a party. Would come back for the selection alone. Con: Cleanliness is "ok" but the pigeon I found wandering the store turned my stomach a bit.

I have fond memories of the location of this store, when I was little it was Brentwood, then Cala. My Mom, who loves this store and claims she can spend hours here, introduced me to the Manila Oriental Market. They have a fresh fish and meat section that has quite a selection. My eyes grew large at dinner possibilities as I strolled through the aisles. Meat and Poultry prices were very good, as compared to Safeway or Trader Joe's. I stocked up on Mangosteen Juice, Aloe Vera Juice, Coconut Water and Milk, cookies, noodles, sauces and more. Other things that I liked were: - You can buy really fresh tofu, 5 blocks for $1.00. - Veggies are fairly priced and in pre-wrapped bundles, no mess. - Parking is easy and the location is convenient. - I got three bags of groceries for $25.00!!! The last tip above is the reason why I am now going to start shopping here weekly.

Recommend checking expiration dates. Bought lumpia wrappers in December 2018. Prepared my filling, started wrapping the lumpia. Had unual difficulty wrapping because wraps kept breaking. Checked the expiration date. 3272012!!!! 6 year old wraps. Totally unacceptable. Went back to the store and they quickly denied it. Luckly i had the receipt. I went to their stupid freezer and found more 2012 lumpia wrappers. What liars. It wasnt the cost or the refund that made me angry, it was the time spent chopping and preparing the filling and many were falling apart wasting my time during the holidays. That said, they didnt care.

I wish the staff were more friendly and helpful. I also question the cleanliness of the store as there is a strong smell upon entering the store. To be fair they do seem to be doing a better job with offering hand sanitizer and sanitizing handles of carts and baskets when you enter. At this point though, I believe Duc Loi in the Mission will get my business even if I have to travel A little further. Duc Loi stocks organic items and the staff is always friendly, helpful and accommodating.

I've never felt so much anger towards a person for someone else before, I don't even write reviews for bad customer service so yeah it's serious. I came here on a Sunday to buy short ribs, the butcher has to be around 40-50 years of age, He repeatedly asked how we (me and my younger sister) wanted it to be sliced. I first showed him by hand thinking that's what he meant, it was obvious he was annoyed so I asked him TWICE, "How can you slice it." He ignored my question and continued to say "don't waste my time." I had my sister talk to him since I wasn't getting it, He was criticizing her, A 13 YEAR OLD, saying how if she's in high school (she's not) and doesn't know english (she does). I was embarrassed and fed up so I just told him that I'll take it whole. My sister ended up going back into the store after paying and had a worker walk her to the butcher area, the same butcher that criticized her took the same cut of meat from earlier and finally asked if she wanted it BBQ cut or Q's. Was it that difficult to ask that question earlier or was he just trying to pick on her because she was vulnerable and knew she wouldn't say anything back. I don't get how this grown man has no shame. He's big, wore a white mask, 40-50s, I'm not sure what race he was but he wasn't asian for sure. I've always had a great experience shopping here for years, but this one ruined it for me.

Chinese comestibles with an extremely noticeable Southeast Asian and island bent. Where else can one find sambal chili paste and a whole bunch of other Thai, Indonesian, Singaporean, Filipino sauces and preparation aids? Super fun=== case of mangoes from Manila are only $5 right now. Uh--steal! Everything from Japanese konnyaku to Filipino vinegars (lighter and generally sweeter, for things like adobo), to gourds, rambutan, durian, etc Extremely clean, great variety and selection, and wonderful prices. Love this place! Parking lot is a real challenge, however.

You really need to update when you are opened. The time states that you close at 8:30 pm. I have been here twice. Once it was closed at 7:30 pm and now it is closed at 7 pm. Not really consistent with your schedule. Truly sad you turn customers away when they are being informed that you open until 8:30 pm

Excellent place to grocery shop - Excellent customer service (much better & honest, which is the total opposite of dishonest Sunset Supermarket's customer service!). Here I found ALL kinds of food - fresh seafood, oysters, large variety of fresh vegetables and fruits, Asian desserts, ice cream varieties like the purple Ube yam flavor, mochi, red beans, jackfruit, grass jelly, variety of teas, etc. etc. And their items are not expired. Good service!
