======= 7 May 2023 update ======= And once again, Ranch99 comes through again. Seafood is certainly my weakness and when LIVE SPOT SHRIMP is available, I can never pass up the chance of getting some. I've spent years looking for spot shrimp and just keep missing it because it is only available 1 to 2 weeks a year.

Read moreMarch 2025 Updated Review: My husband and I are happy to report that there have been several improvements. First, the food court is back to having vendors, and most tables were full.
Second prices are much more affordable than other Asian markets - definitely lower than standard supermarkets.
We found excellent deals in produce, fresh fish, and frozen (shumai, hargow). Cashier was extremely friendly and was fast checking us out. Another employee was very nice and did a price check for us as well.
It was 81° the last time we visited in 2025. The AC was working much better than it had been when there in summer 2024. However, the center of the store temperature is on the warm side.
July & August 2024 Updated Review: This store has changed and not in a positive way. The food court is mostly empty. Although produce dept is still good. The rest of this store's stock is limited. Air-conditioning does not seem to be working.
1st Review 1-2 weeks after Grand Opening: This store is awesome! Very clean, well-organized and well-stocked with just about every ingredient you'll need for cooking Asian cuisine. Their fish and produce departments are amazing.
Also offer kitchenware items like woks, ceramic dishes and bowls, as well as bamboo steamers and special ceramic cooking pots (for preparing Chinese medicine/herbs).
We have yet to try their bakery but they have wonderful looking cakes and...
