I came here to buy sweet rice to make my own Chinese zong zi. It wasn't that expensive. They have a lot of varieties of produce, seafood, meat, and other products. Service is okay. Place is clean.

My go-to Asian grocery store! It's primarily a Chinese grocery store, but I'm able to find a lot of Vietnamese, Japanese, and Korean ingredients for the dishes I'm making. My favorite parts of the store: - cleanliness: it is so clean in there! Meat and seafood section don't smell like other stores in the area. - veggies on sale: without sales, I find the veggies are cheaper than 99 Ranch, H-Mart, and American grocery stores. However, they always have manager special sales on mushrooms and leafy greens which I always buy. - hotpot fishball section: they have a self-scoop fish all section like at 99 Ranch and H-Mart, but I notice there's no ice that indicates the balls have been defrosted and refrozen. I always look out for that as a sign of quality storage. - free item at checkout: if you spend $30+, they usually give a free item. I've gotten boba packets, rice paper, dried noodles, and hotpot soup base. - parking lot is massive! Cons: - long lines: the cash registers are always slow and leads to long lines - butchers are meh: they just never scoop the amount I ask for - always too little or too much - aggressive kiosk ladies when you're leaving: there's a Vua Kho Bo kiosk selling Vietnamese and Chinese dried fruits, seeds, and jerky. The ladies working there are so aggressive in making sales that it's annoying sometimes. 168 is not the largest market, but its the most convenient, clean, and cheap in the area. I love popping in here several times a week!

This place was crowded on a late Saturday afternoon. I enjoy exploring at this store. They have three aisles devoted to candy and snacks. And also a big bin section at the far right near the dishes and household products, there you'll find more boxed cookies and snacks. I always find my ginger chews here...straight up ginger, also ginger with mango, and ginger with pineapple ...the chews I think are helpful for motion sickness nausea, but it's a candy!! I also discovered they have a wide selection of hot pot meats. I didn't buy any but they were all in one place in an aisle frig...lamb, ribeye, pork belly...also a good variety of tofu.. at reasonable price unlike at American grocery stores. I caution about the meat products...mom bought a chicken to make a soy sauce chicken, but when she unwrapped it, it was spoiled. She'll take it back, but don't know yet if they will reimburse her. They have a store card, and it gives good discounts in general...and a few times I've been here, there gave been giveaways for cardholders, so I've gotten free items at the register, but not today. I really like the bin nut and tea kiosk located as you enter the store. They have good service, they give samples, I like getting my dried plum treats here. it's about $14 for a half pound, worth it for the quality...also the delicious baked candied pecans, super yummy. I usually stop by there on the way out the store. Also before. Leaving I like to check out the bakery and deli...as a cardholder, you get a deli/bakery discount but you have to mention your store membership.

I love shopping at both 168 Markets in this area. The decently priced AND quality of fruit is what keeps me coming back to this market. I've also bought meat from here and it was fresh and good quality. The place is extremely clean like an Albertson's, but items are priced cheaper like most other Asian markets in the area. Parking is plenty, even at peak hours since it's located on a very large lot. The building may be old looking on the outside but the inside is really nice and clean.

168 Market has been in Alhambra for many many years. I still remember as a young child coming here with my parents. That's over 40+ years ago. Yep, I am an old adult now LOL. Whenever I see this 168 Market, I would always say, "What humongous parking lot it has!". Yes, it's huge! You see more of the parking lot than the building itself. Of course, it's shared with the other businesses around it. It's just like any other supermarkets with its fresh produce, good quality meats, variety of deli food items, and misc sections. I didn't do any shopping during my recent visit. But got a chance to walk around it perimeters. It has a unique exterior almost like an old western style saloon look. Funny, there is also a CVS Pharmacy in the same shopping center which I find slightly out of place IMHO. Anyway, it was nice to reminisce the good old times.

Could only speak on the hot deli as I did not get any groceries from the market. Most delicious and juicy shrimp balls ever. Ate all 4 pieces in the car because I was starving. I also ordered the crispy pork, and kung pao chicken, which was essentially fried pop corn chicken. Both were very crispy but average flavor-wise. If I'm in the area again, will stop by for shrimp balls. Very nice and friendly cashier. Hot deli and fresh bakery in same area by left entrance

Today was my first visit and I was really surprised at the selection. They had a ton of seafood, most of it live or out in the open on ice for selection. I did not come in here searching for anything in specific, but I walked out with a bunch of stuff. The ramen selection is massive and well-price in my opinion. They also had lots of food samples. I tried some ramen and some dumplings, I ended up waking away with a package for each! The sample people were also just really sweet and inviting. They showed us different options and tips on how to cook the food. I also tried some egg potato chips and shrimp chips, both very good! They also offered different Kit-Kat flavors such as green tea and strawberry. Definitely check this place out if you're around.
