Asia Supermarket in Alhambra

Came across an LA Times article recently that there was Burmese food being sold at this market. Not sure why its difficult to find Burmese food in LA - its pretty ubiquitous up North. Anyway, decided to check it out on a recent trip to SGV. This review is primarily on my experience with their Burmese food selection & pricing. Generally, the store seemed well kept, clean, mid size with assortment of various Asian goods/grocery, decent parking lot & there was only one cashier (though it was not a busy time). It looked like there was a counter called Asia Food Express advertising Burmese food in addition to sushi, teriyaki & poke bowl. It was not operational when I visited & the cashier couldnt give me any info (probably a language barrier - my Chinese is non existent & she may have been speaking Burmese). She did point me to a cooler/table area where some pre-packaged Burmese food was sold. I found two types of Burmese noodle (Shan noodle salad with a little bit of chicken & rice noodle salad with lots of fried garlic) which seemed prepared fresh to be sold for the day. There was yellow tofu with sauce which is a popular Burmese dish. There was also an assortment of dessert & side dishes (dried shrimp with chili, pickled tea leaves, dried anchovy, etc). There was also bags of fried fritters sold at the cashier. I self helped myself & picked up two of the noodle dishes ($ 9.99 each), dried shrimp with chili ($ 5.99 & $ 9.99), a bag of fritters ($ 10 - I keep it in freezer for future use) and two bags of dessert (similar to cendol, $ 3 each). Enjoyed them when I got home. The food was fresh, tasty & authentic. It was a fun discovery but thought the pricing was on the high side.

Good selection of stuff but not as much variety as the larger stores in the area like H Mart, but the prices are better here! Nice place to grab essentials if this is your local area. It was kind of surprising to see Biryani as a to go meal

You can have Burmese groceries such as tea leaves, dried fish, dried shrimp, Burmese preserved foods, sour leaves, fried fish paste, assorted Burmese curry cans. Overall, it is a great place to shop. You can also have fresh sushi. You can have biriyani on weekend. They have sushi special discount on Friday evening.

Great market to make any stop if it a quick one or your looking for your everyday groceries and have a lot of imported products food that came from China or which are great if you want to try something new and for the local in the area but have a wide range of well know food, produce we all love best choice if your not familiar with the area nice cashier lady that have great customer service

One of my all-time favorite neighborhood stores. With the same crew for decades, I am not surprised they all live under the same roof, like an orchestra, the whole team is humming along seamlessly. From picking up a newspaper, childhood snacks, produce, poultry, anything, even using their restroom. Especially the register ladies, are always accommodating as an auntie next door. I am not surprised this place may keep going for many years to come, as long as the loyal followers are alive.

No frills asian market with good prices on goods and produce. They also have a good selection of Latin products, like different types of beans. No tortillas though.

Like ready to eat Food ( sein hitar brand ) is not good for people health and can get disease .

A very small grocery store. I barely can find anything I need here. The reason why I came was to find knives. Fruits are cheaper here.

Lots and lots of products too choose from at a very reasonable price. I wish I lived near this store because of the verities of products, fresh vegetables to so many others imported items from many parts of the world specifically Thailand. Its a pretty big, clean store with storefront parking. If you like to cook Thai food, this is a must। visit store for you.

Don’t shop here! The Chinese lady named Shumin L is a cashier here and she swiped my card on her own. She used a skimming device and stole over $500 of my money from my card. It’s crazy don’t come here because they hire thief employees who steal customer money and buy stuff online
