168 Market — Attraction in La Puente

Note to self: Not so safe and a racist store. Need to plan extra time exiting/at the entrance for receipt checking.

Just sharing my side of story: Stopped coming here for quite some time because the food station is not as good as it used to be; the nice old lady no longer works there,and all others are rude and doesn't seem to care for your business. The quality of their produce is not so good (could be because I can only come after work hours); bad smells especially near the meat department; overall just not as competitive as other markets. Last but not the least, I really don’t like the “new” practices of checking recipes at the door. I noticed not everyone is checked; guys and tough people are usually get passed off, and for some reason I'm always picked--this”random check system” really bothers me, and it is extremely inconvenient when I'm on the run.

This checking system doesn't make much sense to me — either you check everyone, or check with a consistency, like using odd or even numbers, or a somewhat fair system, instead of picking an easy target.

I can't believe I forgot about this and actually recommended it to my uncle and auntie to shop here after eating in the plaza. So the same thing happened again. We were stopped at the door and a medium built guy and his wife were let go. So I asked the server why they weren't checked. The couple (who were let go) all the sudden became raging and were speaking and acting violently even though I wasn't speaking to them. Maybe they're a regular and though they are entitled to the special treatment. I could be wrong, but I can't help but think it's because my auntie and uncle are old and small in size.

Needless to say, I will not return here again. For those who plan to come, just remember to add extra time at the entrance. And always have your phone ready to...

I come here alot with my parents and I am very happy that I finally get to buy and taste Ritter Sport Single Origin Cacao Class Dark Chocolates that are imported from the country of Germany. There was 55% cacao mild sweet dark milk chocolate made from the cocoa from Ghana, 61% semi sweet dark chocolate made from the cocoa of Nicaragua and the 74% cacao intense bittersweet dark chocolate made from the cocoa form Peru. My favorite Ritter Sport cacao class favorite taste form all 3 single origin snack bars is the 74% cacao intense Peru bittersweet blend dark chocolate out of all the 3 new dark flavors, the 61% cacao semi sweet dark blend is really fine made from Nicaragua cocoa beans blend and third place will be the 55% mild sweet dark milk blend from Ghana cocoa beans blend (I am disappointed because the ghana 55% cacao blend was kind of crumby and broken due to the milk and sugar content added) I am really a big fan of dark chocolate and I personally dislike milk chocolate and I definitely want to avoid white chocolate in the candy isle in this chinese supermarket. It is cheaper groceries here than it is in 99 ranch market (Da Hua). The deli section here has soy milk and hot pastry besides lunch that I enjoy and traditional Chinese/Taiwanese hot pot items here are a very good price too. And we have a fresh bakery with tea, coffee and boba as well. The chocolates that I have mentioned are not available anymore or no longer in stock and some of the other snacks or food items has now changed in most...

It was a chance encounter. I had to go next door to UPS and then I check that place. It's a Chinese store with separate counter serving fresh variety of Chinese rolls. At other counter one can buy for $5.99 -2 choices or for $6.99 -3 choices of food. I am eating right now and the food is very good. In fish section I bought headless big shrimps and prepackaged carp. I check and shop for values, but at times, like today with ready made food - I am an impulse buyer. I liked this store ...big and clean. It must have a big turnover - big veggie section. But everything looks fresh and most is sold by pounds. If I'll be in the area, I might visit again specially the take...
