TBL Asian Market — Local services in Clovis

Disappointing. Most of the standard disappointing hallmarks of small "international markets" I've come across in several cities and states, e.g. it does not come across as bright and clean like a good local market or supermarket, many items not priced, most not labeled in any way with Spanish or English so you may have no idea what half the market is comprised of unless you know some asian languages and/or already know what the food products and produce/meats being sold are; it can be a somewhat frustrating experience. That, and the atmosphere/lack of customer service lends to an unwelcoming experience for a white guy who grew up here. Bring your Google Translator app if you're not fluent in an Asian or a Pan-Asian language or two. I'm one who loves trying new things, but unfortunately the wife and I walked out empty handed because of the items available, the ones we could identify were all available at better kempt stores at seemingly competitive prices. Still like Island Pacific on Bullard in NE Fresno best of what I've come across in the area, but I'm always on the hunt for clean markets with International foods to sample. Wife worked in and managing supermarkets for 20+ years so we know the challenges of food safety in meticulously clean stores, and unfortunately many stories you may not want to hear about food stores that are not meticulous with cleaning and maintenance. Selection made it a 4-star, mediocre maintenance and what that often translates to in terms of food safety dropped it to a 2-star review (my family won't be returning but I don't want to pretend I know more than I do about their actual problem(s) with food...

First time I actually got to come visit inside, look around and browse, help mom find and buy some Asian groceries/food goods in stock. Nice cozy find along Clovis and Ashlan Aves otw to church or Sierra Vista Mall route. Convenient and friendly, family-run location of its own kind. Happy to support The Brioche Lady in any way, still have to try one of her breads though! Good word of mouth support for some Filipino "Bread and Butter" bakery goods display that gets rotated here every so often inside alongside all the magnificent vegetables, noodles, freezer goods, fresh hot foods, water station, drinks, baking and cooking utensil supplies. There are three checkout register lanes but they seem to utilize only one or two so far. Hope they can hire more help/employees later, fairly new growing business I want to stay for a long while. Hope to/plan on coming back again later, vegetables and Asian home goods/foods selection and helpful employees who might remember you if you come often enough was enough for me to smile and give them a high rating. Room to grow and prices to change but I love the vibe and customer service. Appreciate you TBL Market,...

There's a worker who isnt fluent in english. I called and she answered in Hmong instead of English and i asked for an item and she doesnt even understand what i said in English of the name of the item i was looking for. She turned me away lying that she will call me back but never called back and i even called and no answer anymore. Probably tried to get away from the situation only. Worst customer service ever! Please hire people who are fluent in...
