Pacific Ranch Supermarket

Small Asian market that’s pretty reasonably stocked for its size. The staff is always friendly and the price points are nothing to complain about. As far as Asian markets go its definitely cleaner than most.

As someone who just moved to the bay area from Little Saigon of Westminster, CA, I love this little slice of seemingly authentic Asian grocery. The area felt predominantly Hispanic or white until I found this place which caters to everything I miss from Asian grocery and cuisine.
It’s a fairly spacious supermarket with always accessible parking. I’ve never seen its modest lot fill up entirely but there’s still plenty of side street parking and another lot across the way. Once you walk in, your eyes are drawn to discover the place either clockwise or counter-​clockwise starting with either the meats or produce. From there for a newcomer, exploring the aisles are pretty easy as you’ll find everything from spices, seasonings, snacks, canned goods, refrigerated goods, and everything in between.
Mostly, I’m happy to find things I don’t typically find as easily in normal mainstream supermarkets like phở, Asian branded broth, beef balls, some more exotic instant noodles, and steamed pork.
Also, they accept Five Stars Rewards with a limited set of increasing rewards tiers.

Nice small Asian market that has most of what you need at an Asian market. It’s down the street from my house so I’m not complaining. I’m a little disappointed that they don’t a fryer or fresh fish but that’s ok
*update review;
Thanks to Tina the owner/​manager of the place who kindly wrote back on my 3 star review of pacific ranch! Because of her & how kind she was about what they offer at the market I give this place a 5 star.
I do have to say the guys who handle meat & seafood do need to smile more: P

Doesn’t always smell too great but always good for a quick in and out!
Most items are priced higher than your average supermarket, so I tend to waver on what I grab here; I stick to rice and fish. Great selection of Asian candies and mochi though! Employees are fast paced at the register and store is usually always clean.

This supermarket showed up on the American Express Small Business Saturday maps, so I decided to shop there. It has plentiful of parking spots, but the shop itself is rather small. The variety is not plentiful, but mostly mainstream products found at every other supermarket. They even have a fresh seafood/​meat section. Be sure to have layers, because it’s extremely cold inside.

Excellent local Asian supermarket. They even had Vietnamese coriander.
For $ 18 I got the following:
large bottle superior dark soy
large bottle diluted red vinegar
large bag Chinese broccoli
large bunch fresh Cilantro
2 small bunches green onions
2 carrots
2 small fresh chicken breasts
bag of Vietnamese bo vien
Seemed like good value.
Their butcher had plenty of cheap pork, some beef. $ 1.99 ground pork, $ 3.50 belly Also have fresh and frozen fish.

Fresh veggies and good mushroom selection… good source for basic Asian sauces, etc. Helpful staff! I’ll be back.

I love that it’s only 5 minutes away from my house! Pacific Ranch carries a great variety of Filipino/​Asian grocery items, as well as a good produce selection. Super clean, well lit, great customer service. I like that I can call ahead if I want to get some tilapia fried. I also like that the butcher knows «for Adobo or Sinigang» when I ask him to cut up some pork butt/​pork spare ribs for me. (I don’t think he’s Pinoy). They also have a Facebook page, and will usually accomodate requests to carry certain products (like ube extract!)

I appreciate an ethnic supermarket that’s more of a mom and pop’s store. It’s tucked away in the residential neighborhood, but I’m happy it’s there because it doesn’t get too crazy and it pretty much has all the basics. I was happy to find my green Thai curry and some cheap produce. I’m a fan, especially when I don’t have to travel far to a Asian market.

Clean, organized, and good selection for making lumpia. They don’t have that much to choose from for Japanese sushi rice powder, or Korean items, but if shop here again for basic items.

It’s a cool little place for the location. It is clean and people there speak English fluently. Has the normal seafood and landfood.
They aren’t cheap, but they aren’t expensive. I’d say just slightly cheaper than average.
I wish they had a bigger selection of produce, but I know space is limited.
I believe they close at 7 which is hard if you’re off work at 6 and have to sit in traffic. Leaves little time to shop and I learned that at 6:58 they WILL kick you out…

With plenty of parking, clean aisles and friendly service, Pacific Ranch Supermarket is a great Ethnic grocery for those not wanting to head into Oakland. However, I guess that being one of the few Ethnic markets around has its downside: the prices are too darn high (said in «The Rent Is Too Damn High Party» voice:
). Almost everything I checked had a higher price than other similar stores I’ve gone to in Oakland & SF. That being said, we ended up there because we wanted to avoid the parking situation at 88 Supermarket; and yes I’d go back again because I don’t mind paying a little more to have no parking issues, no people pushing me in the aisles & good customer service.

I go here to get fresh meat/fish…I got some four tortillas and found mold on it when i got home… their fruits are a hit and miss some times their good and most times their not sweet at all… basically they try to sell them for cheap to get rid of them… but i do like their selection of veggies… I also buy bulk rice… but basically i buy meat from the butcher, and some veggies… fruit not so good… I go to farmers markets to buy my fruit

Very limited choices for asian products. Price weren’t all the cheap either. I probably won’t go back there.

I like the fact that this store is bright, clean and organized. That being said, this place does not reek of your typical Asian store. You know that smell! The smell of dried seafood that hits you like a wall the moment those sliding doors open and just as you’re about to take a step inside. Not that that’s entirely bad, I am Asian after all. LOL! Considering the size of the store itself, there is a nice selection of products available at very reasonable prices. The fruits and vegetables are quite fresh; red tomatoes versus barely orange, yellow bananas versus brown, you know what I mean. There’s also a meat counter and a seafood counter. But best of all they’ll scale and gut your fish like nobody’s business! Then they’ll even fry that sucker up for you if you want! LOL!
I do have to admit though, there have been a couple times that I was a little disappointed. Once I purchased a container of milk and didn’t bother to check the date on it. When I brought it home and opened it up it had already begun to sour. Another time I purchased a small tray of chicken and didn’t bother to check the date on it either. Brought it home only to find that it had already started to have that funky old chicken smell.
Overall, I do really like shopping at this little neighborhood Asian store. The employees are always very nice and very efficient.

This grocery store has been here forever under one name or another. (I first shopped in it back in 1975). It gradually morphed into the Asian/​Mexican market that it is today. As others have said, it doesn’t have quite the variety of Seafood City, or Ranch 99. However, it has noodles, pan de sal, vegetables and most of the stuff an Asian family needs for traditional meals (as well as Mexican items if you want to whip up some tacos to go with your lumpia). The store is clean with ample parking and a butcher on site. There is a sufficient stock of good old American food as well just in case you don’t want to run to Luckys or Safeway. It’s bigger than a corner grocery even though it’s not quite as big as a chain store. For a neighborhood grocery, it should suit you just fine.

This is a small clean Asian market. I like this spot to get young coconuts. My husband and I like to sit in his man-​cave and sip cold sweet coconut water with a straw like we’re on vacation. They’re cheaper here than at Foodnet ($ 1.39). The produce here always looks good and fresh. I don’t shop the aisles here much, but they do carry the European style Maggi seasoning, which I prefer over the others.

I still love this store. It’s on a main street from my part time residence and I can always stop bye to grab some goodies before work… The staff is awesome and treat «Super Serg :» real good

It’s nice having an Asian market so close by especially when I’m not in the mood to drive all the way to Oakland.
The store is very clean and organized. They have a pretty good selection and the produce are pretty fresh for a market in the Village of San Lorenzo.
The employees are always nice and helpful. The item are more expensive then what you would find in Oakland but that’s what you get for shopping in an Asian market in San Lorenzo. I wouldn’t come here every weekend to go grocery shopping but its convenient to have when you need a few items.

The store itelf is okay, but the employees here have an attitude or something.
Their prices for certain products are somewhat reasonable.
The selection of fruits/​veggies is limited and not that fresh.
As for their meat/​seafood, not that fresh either.
I prefer to go to the Ranch 99 Market instead.
