County Market — Local services in Antioch

Good value for money. Nice Asian grocery store with a good selection of food and seafood. I came for the snacks, they had the Filipino common food like ChocNut, several chips, Star margarine, Nido milk, the usual Silver Swan soy sauce and vinegar, and the Mang Tomas gravy for chicken, among others. I almost thought I was back in the local shop of origin, it was impressive for the import selection. I also came for the Japanese snacks; they sometimes have anime stuff like the Dragon Ball chewing gum and the Demon Slayer biscuits, but it's pretty random what appears. They have Japanese mirin and the Chinese cooking stuff too, and what a relief that there are translated labels and I need not use Google lens, unlike in Metro Manila where these Chinese and Japanese labels are usually retained as-is. While I was looking for the Fukien Old Wine (not sure where to find it as my folks were in a hurry to do a 20-minute shopping including checkout) that I used to use to stir fry my vegetables in, I saw lots of the mirin, the usual Lee Kum Kee seasonings and oyster sauces of various types. They also had something similar to Kewpie sesame salad dressing. They had seaweed snacks too, says organic on the label even, that it looks good. And if you're craving for ready-to-eat jellyfish over seaweed salad in the chiller, they have them too near the line for the cashier. The milkfish, it can be deboned if you ask the staff. Here, it's like the wet market. I saw large crabs, large oysters, the ones similar to what I'm used to in the islands, catfish, all other smaller fish, the large tuna fish, and smaller snails. I find that it's interesting how varied the food here is and how if you tell them what dish you will use the meat or fish, they can cut and prepare it for, say, adobo or tinola. It's a store my folks frequently visit just for seafood and they keep coming back. Thankfully, this shop exists having our...

It was such a treat that the County Square Market opened in this location because the closest other Asian grocery store I can think of is in Concord. It is in the back of the shopping area so it is hard to see from Hillcrest and you can only see part of it over the wall from the highway but it is really easy to get there. It isn't a huge supermarket, but it is large enough with a good variety of products.

It has a good selection of Asian products at a reasonable price. There are a couple registers and the cashiers work quickly so even if there is a line the wait isn't too long. The staff are always very friendly, nice, and helpful every time I have been there.

The aisles are clean and organized by items, like sauces, snacks, and the like so it is easy finding what you need. Although the focus is on food, there are other items like bowls, jewelry, and such but I personally haven't bought any of them.

They have a hot food section on one end of the store, the food is reasonably priced and it is pretty good. Some items are better than others though. They have a fresh fish and meat counter in the back and they work fast. Also one of the guys working the meat counter was extremely helpful in helping me pick out some items for a recipe I was going to make so that was a plus.

On the other end of the store from the hot food section is their produce section. They have a pretty nice variety of produce and Asian ones as well that I can get at Safeway and WinCo. But make sure to check when picking them out for the best of the produce because sometimes there are some blemished produce, so take your time. Other than those, there are just a very nice and large selection of products from drinks and snacks to sauces and spices and ramen.

It is a fairly clean and organized place with friendly staff and a good selection of Asian products at a...

To the manager working today 9/6 around 913am stocking in the front I hope you have a better day. I approached you to inquire about your job posting for my son. Not only were you rude with the answer you just seemed like you could care less. Telling me to read the sign of the openings doesn’t answer my question. I can read and had asked specifically about the cashier position. When I asked what hours you’re looking for, you gave a vague response. It clearly shows you aren’t interested in hiring. This is the second time I have been met with poor customer service in two weeks at County Market. I have been a loyal customer for 14 years and even more prior to when it was County Square and this is disappointing. Customer service goes a long way and the way you treat them can either make or break their day. Manager to manager I hope you don’t treat your employees the way you treat...
