Maxim Market

I always go here at least once or twice a week and I have recently found this jelly but I can’t find it online :/​. It’s really good though, you can get it in the frozen food aisle

I’m more likely to shop in Sunnyvale for Asian groceries, but this store has Mama noodles, and a reasonable supply of Nong Shim products, as well. I still need to head to El Camino Real for specific Korean and Japanese products.
This store looks impressively clean. Even the seafood tanks look reasonably clean. I would imagine there is the typical smell, but it’s not incredibly strong, if it’s there.
They have a variety of products, covering a number of countries, but it seems more concentrated on VietNamese and Thai products. Given the area, it’s understandable.
Prices seemed reasonable, although many things didn’t seem to be marked at all.

TypicaL Asian Supermarket. Great spot of aLL of your grocery necessities. Huge Location that is tidy and cLearLy weLL kept.
Minus one star because I’m aLways greeted by this nauseating stench of fishy-​ness and bLeach! Gross!
On a positive note: Kudos on them actuaLLy disinfecting and whatnot with the bLeach.

I like how they have cheap seafood and that’s about it. Prices for veggies and all else similar to other Asian market. Do not buy their mochi ice cream! I think it’s old or something. I got some and its icy and freezer burn. Had to throw it out. If you defrost, then it’s all mushy an have that freezer burn taste. Really gross. Do not buy their package tofu! It’s old and went moldy the next day of opening it. I think since it’s a small market that with few frequent foot traffic as others, they don’t seem to have fresh items. Also looks like they don’t throw out expire ones either. Parking can be cramp, but not that bad.

Located on the right side of Grand Century Mall.(Strip mall side)
It is cleaner than the other markets on the strip mall. Well stock and well lit.
Just about all the Asian foods you need is here at competitive prices.

Maxim market is very well stocked. The workers will help you find what you’re looking for if you ask. They have many brands of the same product if you’re looking for a certain one. It’s a good place to go to if you need to pick up groceries quickly. It’s in the same plaza as Phở Ha and Bambu.

Typical Asian market in this neck of the woods. Fairly large space as they take up a corner part of the strip mall. Seafood, produce, pre packaged goods, the works. Got some small snacks to go. It moves decently fast but getting in and out of the parking lot is a whole other issue

I like this Asian market because it is SUPER clean compared to all other asian supermarkets that I have been to. Even the fish section seemed very clean. Staff at this location are also extremely nice and they speak good english. They have fresh vegetables and good quality fruits. If you want to go to a clean market to shop and you are in the San Jose area then you should go here. There is also plenty of good restaurants to eat inside the mall which is right behind the store. I love coming around this area because there is always a lot of good vietnamese food to eat. Parking is also not bad as well. Very impressed it was not dirty like all the other asian markets that I have been to.

Seriously huge refrigerated fresh produce section. It’s also freezing. As with any Asian market, however, watch out for spoiled veggies/​garlic.
Other than that, it’s pretty much what you’d think — poorly enclosed fish and meats, various sauce smells, and a whole lot of durian create that unmistakable olfactory assault known as a Vietnamese supermarket. I don’t normally associate Asian markets for cleanliness, but this place seemed a little *extra* dirty, though I can’t really pinpoint why.
Still, it does have everything that you would expect — seasonings, chili oils, frozen meats, even toiletries like off-​off brand shampoo and toilet paper (note: do NOT buy the toilet paper. 3-​ply? More like 3-​LIES). All for pretty cheap, as well.
Anyway, it’s situated in the Grand Century Mall, and is pretty much the only supermarket in that area, so you’re stuck with it. I’ll probably be back, if only out of necessity.

Fresh vegetables. Nice service. Friendly customer services!
20 brown eggs for 5.69 $, that’s good price :)
Near Bambu snack and dessert !

For an Asian supermarket I was surprised at how clean and organized they were. And the quality of meat and select was great! I would definitely come back.

Maxim isn’t the typical vietnamese supermart, it’s an pan asian market, carrying goods from the phillipines, southeast asia, china, taiwan, maybe malaysian, singarore. not sure about korea. .
store is huge. parking lot isn’t. pricing looked average to slightly higher. unknown brands very cheap.
buys: tsing tao paper (.60)
checkouts:
–lines checking out looked slow
–aisles ok, not as wide as safeway,
–didn’t check out whole store, no desire to wait in lines.

This is my neighborhood grocery store or at least if used to be until I ordered two pounds of tiger shrimp and found four rotten ones. I have never seen a rotten shrimp. And I literally almost threw up. We scoured the rest throwing away 6 large prawns. We washed the batch thoroughly and ate them well cooked. We are alive !!! But sadly I will never buy shrimp here again. How does this happen??? #gross — I should of taken a pic but I was so angry. Guess well have to try the new Lion Market across the street ;)

I come to Asian stores to buy mostly just ingredients and dry food. This one in particular was much more clean, organized, not smelly as the other ones. It wasn’t busy either, but probablu bc I went at 2pm on a weekday lol. Forget going to these places with a few parking spaces during busy hours.

On Friday, 2÷8÷13, my wife and I decided to do some shopping here since we are in the area for lunch. What a mistake !!!
Customer service is a joke in this place. The people behind the chicken/​meat counter must really hate their job. This young Asian guy (in his mid to late 20’s) was behind the counter cutting meat, I asked him if he can cut a chicken in half for me. First he ignores me when I called for him. I had to call him about 4 times before he looks up at me. When he looks up, he gave me a dirty look as if he is telling me why the F@*k am I interrupting me for. I asked him if he can cut the chicken in half. He replied «Pay first.» I wasn’t sure what he means at first, I asked him to repeat what he said. He said «You must pay for the chicken at the cashier first, we don’t want to cut it and you don’t buy». WTF… Why would I drove all the way to the store have you cut a chicken and not buy it. If you can even trust your customers to cut a 9 dollars chicken and must inconvenient them then I got news for you… I am not coming back to this place… ever. I am telling all of my friends and family to shop some place else. Remember… you want customers… you must have CUSTOMER SREVICES. You are not the only Asian Store in the area.

Prices are decent. This market is big and clean. I’m not a fan of how their vegetables don’t keep very long though. They seem to spoil quickly. Not sure why that is exactly.

Much more spacious than the Maxim on Capitol Expressway and cleaner than other Asian stores in the area. It took over the old Hai Thanh Supemarket that used to be here and thus far I can say Maxim is 100% better than Hai Thanh. Layout is much neater and price slightly lower than Hai Thanh’s too. And much friendlier employees too!

Previously Hai Thanh Supermarket, the new Maxim is much cleaner and more well-​organized with a bigger selection of everything. Lines are short and quick. However, prices are much higher than the nearby Mi Pueblo (about .5 miles away).
Always a good market for last minute needs if you’re in the area, and if all the other grocery stores are closed during American holidays.

Just stepped into this new Asian market the other day.
I’ve been here before Maxim took over and remodeled everything.
At first I was sad the old market was closing down but I changed my mind once I stepped inside.
The lay out changed and everything is a lot cleaner and more organized. Space looks more optimized as well.
I don’t do much shopping for groceries so I can’t say much about the prices.
But it sure is convenient for me to get sandwiches next door and pick up a few things at this market.
