Marina Grocery — Local services in Milpitas

This Marina Grocery provides you a one-stop location, not only for your Chinese groceries, but Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, and more. The store offers an extensive selection of fruits and vegetables, aisles and aisles of foodstuffs, fresh meats, seafood, wine, a bakery, and hot entrees and bbq deli items (roast duck, pork, etc.) at very competitive prices. This place is the best if you're searching for any kind of Asian groceries around Milpitas. The store is rather crowded on weekend afternoons, but it's worth it!

My favorite areas in the supermarket are the snack aisle (buy ALL the Asian goodies!!) and the bread/pastry area further into the store. They also have a good selection of meat at a decent price – my sister visits the section almost every weekend.

As for customer service, the cashiers are pretty friendly, and definitely get their job done. They warm up to you more if you speak to them in Cantonese, Mandarin...

This market used to be my favorite a couple years ago but now it is going down so badly. The meats and produce are mostly rotten here. Even with rotten foods, they still charge high prices compared to other markets in the same area. Their reward coupons are a joke: there's no consistency as to what items are eligible for reward. They keep changing the rules to lower your rewards. Reward coupons are only redeemable at the Deli place, which I have no interests in buying anything there so it's just useless. It would be better if they just lower the price of the market items instead of giving out reward coupons. The only positive thing here is that they still do...

Ok selection for Asian food but not so good service. I was given a hard time by the cashier girl today because I paid for a small thing with my one dollar coins. She didn't believe one dollar coins were real. After I explained and pointed out where it says $1 on the coin she asked me to change one of them which doesn't have $1 written on it but instead has the words "one dollar" written on the bottom. I know Asian markets and good service don't go along sometimes but it was still rather unpleasant for being questioned for such a silly thing at a market that deals with cash...
