Lam's Seafood Market

I love Lam's. Ethnic food & items. The store it clean and well stocked with your fav. Reasonably priced items. Depending on the date, there can be a wait to checkout. Accessible parking and entrance.

Okay so if you don't like the smell of fresh seafood go away cause this store is not for you. They serve fresh seafood which is i like. I like how they have a section of seafood where there's a pre cut or you can ask for a butcher, they also have meat. Their shrimp is more cheaper than the other seafood store (but still it depends on the day but mostly it's affordable.) they have a lot of variety of asian products. the service was good on the seafood section they actually pay attention on who ever comes first. The ambiance was really like the typical asian grocery store. Like what I said, if you don't like fresh seafood smell this store is not for you. But overall we always come back here and I definitely recommend this store for a variety of seafood.

Always love coming here to get all my childhood cravings. check the dates tho, sometimes they're past due but their workers replace the item with a newer when brought to their attention and check the shelves after. So I say good service and nice workers since I've had no problem.

I am not from Arizona, born and raised in Hawai'i. Our son went to GCU and all the students had to be out of the dorms by May 1, 2023. We rented an Airbnb and cook instead of going out to eat.When you step in this place it will smell like a seafood store, so if that's gonna be a problem this wouldn't be the store for lol. ALL HAWAII RESIDENTS, well..look no further for food for the kids lol. This place practically has everything, it reminds me of seafood city-ish in Waipahu. I jokingly scolded the kids, "now you tell me after running around kingdom come." This is right around the corner of GCU campus.Unfortunately I was told about this place too late in the week that I FINALLY found fufu which is equivalent to pa'i'ai.

Love love love this store!! So nice having a store that carries so many exotic fruits/veggies that you can't find at your typical grocery store! The outside of the store is a lil out of wack. In a ugly looking parking lot. They use random carts from so many different stores lol. But don't judge a book by it's cover! The inside of this store is super clean! Always stocked at least the 2 times I went within 2 weeks. staff is friendly! Prices are decent! They carry so much; guava (both fresh & frozen), green bananas, rambutans, breadfruit, etc. they have a large variety of meats & seafood! Live lobster & tilapia So many drinks, my favs milca (red soda pop from nicaragua) & maltas (puerto rican) You can find so many different candies & foods. By far my favorite store in all of Arizona!

FIVE stars because the cashier (maybe owner?) was SO kind to this first time customer. Just wanted to peep in see what ramen they have and maybe pick up some Asian stuff not sold in regular stores. The ramens are so cheap here cheaper than Wal-mart! I got a real genuine corn broom for ... drum roll.. 4.99. I got two, a witches broom to sweep outside and the indoor SIngapore or fan broom for our indoor tile. Got some masks and the cashier was so thrilled to have a new customer, I am not Asian either, she gifted me with TWO boxes of the "luxury" (lol) masks. Picked up a big box of disposable masks I had mouth surgery and couldn't walk around with a bloody slobbery mouth in public. The cashier was familiar with the surgery I had and told me what to expect and she demanded I "drink lots of water!" what a kind woman. PS you have to rinse off the brooms in hot water and let dry before using or it will fall apart. This I know from using these brooms all my life. If you lived in Asia before you will appreciate this store, or even if you're new to anything Asian and want to try it OR find some extremely cheap household goods- cheaper than yes Walmart, then hop in and see what they have. I even got a "klompen", is the only word I know for it, I don't know what you call it, floor covering? tatami mat big one for I think 10 dollars not sure. Oh! they have Dutch Indonesian foods! all the aisles.. Thai, Malay, Chinese, you name it. Hopefully I'll upload pics for you later but take my word for it.

This is one of the most accessible Asian markets in the west valley. A lot of people may think this place is run down and avoid it because of that, but the options and variety of items are plentiful. I used to drive 30-40 mins to get to HMart or Mekong when I needed ingredients for traditional meals, but this grocery store has practically everything I would get at those markets (minus sushi grade fish and premarinated kbbq meat). The staff in the seafood and meats sections are always nice and helpful as well. The vegetables and fruits are also great quality.

Coming to this store is like a treat for my kids, they treat it like if its a walk through a candy store. Maybe its because they love to load up on all the Asian candy that is just so cute and delicious.This last time we came though, they hesitated to get out of the car. It was in broad day light and they even suggested we just go home because of all the shady people just hanging around the parking lot. I'm not talking about your average down on their luck transients, these are people with full face tattoos that look as if they are high out of their minds. Maybe its the liquor store that is on the corner that attracts these people but even my 18 year old son was concerned about our safety. Trust me, we ran inside the store and ran back to our car when we were done.Once inside we felt safe and raided the store. They have so many things that you just don't find at your average store like Shirataki noodles, I always take them all, sorry. I have been getting a hankering for cooking Asian food, specifically Vietnamese and Filipino and this is the only store that carries many of the ingredients the recipes ask for. I was also disappointed that they don't carry balut, I have been looking everywhere and was sure this store would carry them but they don't. Their produce selection is awesome though, as is their seafood selection, many which is live. Overall this place is great with the exception of the the shady people who hang out outside. I would NOT come at night and will not come by myself either.

I love American grocers, I love Fry's, Stater Bros, Trader Joe's and Sprouts but coming from a different culture, I can get most of the ingredients my family needs at these shops but I definitely need to visit the Asian market for items like Lychee and Durian for desserts or fresh Calabash and Taro for our soups. Not to worry though, Lam's got it! I also like that it's not too far from where I reside in the West Valley and the parking lot is HUGE. Another service they have that I like it, they'll fry up a fish for you for a small fee, makes dinner that easy!The reason that I deducted the 1 star is because the place is definitely a little more run down, not too modern and it's not all that aesthetically pleasing. It can set someone off, but in all honesty, Lam's makes it work for my family so I'm sure it'll work for you.
