Hong Kong Supermarket

this is the nearest supermarket for me right now，i used to shop there almost everyday in the past 3 months. but today i just want to say «what the fuck！» one of the cashier just so rude，theres one customer gave the cashier the exactly cash including some coins，she made one missing，that’s her fault ，right？however，she asked the customer for another！OMG！but my turn，i paid with credit card，today i forgot my id. everyday i shop here ，i bring my wallet with cash and id，but they never checked it. today，they want it as i just take my card with me. that’s
i said i didnt bring id. she said ：then pay cash. i said i didnt take cash too. guess what she said：buy it or not is up to you. i guess what i could do is just go away. WTF！

We used to shop here quite often when I resided in Monterey Park. We were passing by on the 10 Freeway so we stopped in. I made sure to buy Tiger Balm extra strength, for my now occassional aches and pains… only $ 4.99!

Worst asian supermarket I’ve been to! I bought a big knife (doesn’t originally come with any wrapper or cover) ans the cashier and bag boy didn’t even bother wrapping it in newspaper or anything. I forgot I had purchase a knife and was carrying my plastic bag groceries when I felt a sharp thing cutting my leg. Yup. It’s the big knife that pierced through the flimsy plastic bag. Luckily it was just a small cut but it definitely could have been a lot worse. Also they did not wrap any of the bottle sauces I bought. And of course, cashier already had a bad attitude to begin with. Relatively small super market with limited options compared to ranch 99.

I have been to this store four times lately, and it is a good store. It would be nice to have one in Bakersfield, but I do not know if there are enough Asian people to support it. Anyhow the store has a lot of thing and foods you are not even aware that you need. I come here with my lady friend and she never fails to find some excellent food purchased from this store. And as a long time people watcher, the people in here are great too. I will be back over and over many times in the future.

Typical chinese super market.
What’s live to buy?
Fish, dungness crab, lobster, shrimp, frog, clam
What’s frozen to buy?
squid, other fish, stuff in the freezer section
What’s not frozen or live?
all the veggies, them asian fruits, dragon fruit, some snacks, the sauces, drinks, candy, candy, candyyyyyy
oh and can’t forget about the rice. mhm… and newspaper 50 cents. need to get that chinese newspaper.

Hong Kong supermarket is not the prettiest but it ranks high in variety and value. There’s everything Asian here from high quality fresh vegetables to 50+ noodles and ever paste, sambal and authentic ingredient you ever need.
Comparisons with Ranch 99 aren’t appropriate as its a different focus and shopping segment. Love the Japanese, Indonesian, Korean and Malaysian areas. So good to see my favorite Yeo sauces that I so enjoyed in Australia and Singapore. Couldn’t believe my eyes to find 7 Sambals straight from Jakarta and all the fish sauce, soy and condiments I needed to refresh and restock the larder.
The chilled and frozen section to be bigger but there’s a whole lot in there but not always the best organized. Fresh fish and meat are good but not exceptional so you loose a star but there’s not too much wrong.

I like the location and products in here. One of my most frequent visit HK supermarket around the area. Check this place out :)!!!

Quick, fast and convenient! I like how it is smaller than your average supermarket! Get in and out quickly. Dont have to spend my time scanning all those aisles. And the veggies I believe are of better quality than those of 99 ranch market which is a plus!!!

Although it doesn’t look as nice as ranch 99, I think price is cheaper overall. It has some special dried fruits and dried potatoes that other market doesn’t have and their home accessories and also cheaper than others too

They seem to be extra conscious about their security, which a lot of people might complain about? I find some of the product here much cheaper compared to other Chinese/​Hong Kong grocery… so I am a fan.

Just had to write something about this… it’s just… SO HORRIBLE!
First of all, the people there… are. creeps… i swear, i walk by and there would be people staring at you…
Secondly, the customer service is just… URGH! Me and my mom were done shopping and went to pay, but the lady there just took forever, she kept talking to the lady at the other counter who had nothing to do. She was so rude as if she hated her job so much. I mostly bought chips and snacks that she just threw after scanning the product. My mom decided to put the groceries in the bag considering we were kinda in a hurry, but the lady just looked at her… like she had no care at all. After she was done scanning my mom paid for what we got and told me to put the groceries in the bags cause she wasn’t done with it, and I decided to wait for a moment. I wanted to see if the lady was gonna put the groceries in the bag since shes the one working. but no. she just stood there and talked to the lady in the other counter… I was just… so stunned of how rude she can be. after I put all the stuff in, I literally even said it out loud to my mom, «the customer service is horrible, they don’t even put our stuff in the bags and expect us COSTUMERS to do it.» The lady just kept talking as if she didn’t hear us… wtf… She’s not younger either, probably in her late 40s and she has no care for her job.
This is the first time I’ve honestly had this much of a disatisfaction towards a market, I’m always happy about my snacks when I get to the counter. this PERSON just gave the rudest service ever. never. NEVER coming back.
Ok. I’m done with my rant… wheres the 0 star???

This market is great! I love it, and so glad I discovered it. They have the best mangos right now… we buy 2 boxes at a time… its a great deal. I love fruits and this market knows how to choose great tasting varieties of fruit. It’s very clean inside too, and everyone that works here is exceptionally nice.

I went there with my two yr old. The security guy pointed to my diaper bag and said put it there (their counter). I told him it’s a diaper bag with milk inside. He said «I don’t care, put it there». I decided to leave and not shop in this supermarket anymore ever. I understand it may be their policy for theft prevention, but if you can’t afford that as part of normal business loss, don’t even operate a supermarket. Now I know why the HK supermarkets in the area closed one by one over the yrs.
Also, lots of expired food on the shelfs. Be careful and good luck if you shop here.

Pretty clean for a chinese supermarket, but the things aren’t really cheap and you can tell some of the items have been sitting on the shelf for a while! Just be careful and pick and choose what you get!
The produce isn’t bad but not too cheap either!
meat section is pretty fresh and usually there are about 2 guys working there to help you.
fish section smells really fishy! but sometimes good deals here
Overall i would probably only come here if i didnt feel like making the drive to somewhere else

I like the selection that have of produce, meats and sauces. They’re prices are very reasonable and I just look past the fact that things are kinda dingy. Although employees don’t walk around the store and ask if you need help, everyone that I’ve encountered were friendly.

Small and untidy Hong Kong Super Market is an Asian supermarket, but it’s not really a «super market.» It ranks between 2 – 3 stars. Let’s say 2.46.
Atmosphere: The general theme to the store is «almost-​organized unkempt array.» The rows and goods are packed close together with a sense that most things are covered with a little dust.
Prices: You’re in the SGV and these are SGV prices … to match the lower quality. It’s not Whole Foods quality and that’s exactly why the prices are less.
Selection: The store is small and about ²⁄₃ the size of a typical 99 Ranch. You can find just about 1 – 2 of most things you want, but it may not be the brand you want. The meat and produce sections in back are particularly small compared to many Asian supermarkets.
Extras: Chinese Videos and Goods at the small shops near the registers will fill a niche, but probably not anything you, a savvy Unilocaler, are seeking.
Service: Bring someone who speaks Chinese or a big smile and hand gestures to get help. It’s an Asian market. They’re not rude, but definitely don’t bend over backwards for you either.
Parking:
The parking lot is free, but my advice is to park in back … the front lot is a zoo in the evenings.
Overall:
With at least one major Asian Supermarket within a mile of each other in Monterey Park, Alhambra, and San Gabriel, there is a lot of competition for exotic and/​or cheap Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, and other goods. The only reason to choose Hong Kong Super Market over the competition is convenience or laziness.

I keep forgetting that I don’t care to shop here.
Just needed a few produce items and was in a hurry, so I dropped in.
As with other visits, the produce & meat departments don’t give off clean vibes, some areas of dry goods are stacked haphazardly & are dis-​organized, and the checkers I’ve encountered have attitude (no friendliness whatsoever).
Really wasn’t too happy about today’s visit.
Hopefully I’ll remember next time and go the extra distance elsewhere.
Tips: Park in the back and be careful of all the foot-​traffic wandering around the parking lot and street.

As most of the reviews claim Hong Kong Super Market is dirty, I can’t agree. Unless I manage to drop in when the store has just been cleaned I’ve never found it smelly or dirty. I do shop in the morning and perhaps this makes a difference.
The employees are very nice and helpful. Choice and supply is excellent. Prices are fair. What else does one need from a Chinese Grocer?

While it may not be the cleanest of places, this does hold a lot of culinary wonders if you’re willing to embrace the rather unconventional western cuisine. That and if you aren’t afraid to gut your own meal.
Hey, everyone should be able to do that.
In any case, much like most other places in Monterey Park, the utter amount of not giving a shit about your English speaking ass applies here. No one talks to you in English and the music is all in native tongue. Which I have to say is pretty entertaining to listen to Chinese renditions of Holiday jingles.
I’ll touch back to the clean aspect, or the lack of it here. It’s not very. But that’s not so much of an issue, really. the food won’t get you sick or anything, it’s just not a Whole Foods or anything in terms of stuff stacked where it probably should be.
The upside is that the prices are fairly cheap and hey, live lobster for $ 9.99 a pound. If you ever wanted a whole fish, they have plenty on ice and in tanks to choose from.
The meat department is a little lacking, but hey, they have your choice of pork products and that Chinese sausage is pretty solid. Where else can you find a pile of dragon fruit to work with like they do here with a big pile of it.

They sell live frogs here!
They’re huge.
And they ain’t for pets.
