Chestnut Encinal Market — Local services in Alameda

I will never buy anything from this place again. I brought a Vietnamese chicken salad last week, it wasn’t fresh… chicken didn’t taste like anything. I decided to go back there and buy another one today because sometimes, food isn’t great but you give the place a second chance.. I bought another salad, I asked 3 people from the store where they bought the chicken in the salad, he said Costco, the girl laughed and the second guy said “Costco I think”. I tried eating the salad and after one bite, I threw it away. Chicken wasn’t fresh. It smelled bad. And there was no sell by date on the box.. I don’t trust them. Sucks I bought 2 salads from them. I don’t recommend buying anything...
