Lion Market Shopping Center — Attraction in Newark

Lion Market Shopping Center (Stealing Chicken) Today I went shopping at Lion Market. Address: 39055 Cedar Blvd #168, Newark, CA 94560. I bought a chicken and they helped me cut it into small pieces. When I got home and opened the package, I realized the pieces were too big. Curious, I pieced the chicken together and discovered it was missing half a breast, a quarter of a drumstick, and a quarter of a breast rack (see the picture above): 3, 4, and 5. I was so angry I almost laughed. I immediately returned to the supermarket (it took about 20 minutes to get back there) and spoke to the manager, an elderly woman who spoke Chinese. I told her what happened, but she didn't believe me. So I immediately covered my shopping cart with newspaper and pieced the whole chicken back together (see the picture above, taken at the supermarket). She lied and said she didn't know why. She then asked me why I hadn't taken the chicken out and pieced it together when I bought it. (If something like this happens, it must be the default operation of their supermarket.) It is recommended that customers pay more attention when purchasing chicken or fish, or food that needs to be cut into...

Argh - the music here drives me crazy!!! It is loud and cacophonous (first time I used that word in a review)! And yes, like other reviewers have stated, I have smelled better supermarkets as well. The customers seem to be a bit more aggro than other supermarkets I've been to - something about not having a concept of personal space.

Located at the end of an indoor mall of sorts, Lion Supermarket has everything from seafood to rice cookers to produce. I scored some fresh green coconuts here for a little over a buck each. I bought about nine that lasted a couple of weeks.

Price-wise, I find that Ranch 99 has better deals and seems more organized. I find, however, that the restaurants in this area tend to be better than the Ranch 99 in Newark. Other than that, I don't think I'd go out of my way...

I went today to buy a fish head around 3:13pm, then I got back home and I got some smell. I thought it is normal for seafood. I put in oven for 10 mins and the rotten smell is getting stronger. I open and double check it, it is not fresh anymore. So I went back there to inform them. But they said, it is nothing to do with them and they can’t help with it anyways. Customer service is giving cold shoulder and didn’t take the responsibility for the products that they are selling.. I also learnt my lesson - good things come with good price. I also trash rest of the food I bought from there as a food safety measure coz I lost trust in their products and responsible mindset. I think it is serious food safety issue that city government...
