88 Manor Market - Hayward

I like the San Leandro location more. The Hayward branch is a bit cramped with less parking, but it has some basics that I generally look for, like veggies and some Asian desserts (such as canned grass jelly and Ai-yu jelly). If this is the closest Asian grocery to you, not a bad place to come, especially if you just want to stop by for a few things.

Great place to get Asian specific items from Dorian to Gochujang paste and many items in between. Yesterday I needed some spring roll wrappers and they had some in the frozen section. I always go there for fresh vegetables. The do have a fish section, but I have yet to try.Side note: While you're at the register and walking out, look up at the "Wall of Shame!", people caught stealing.Here's What I Think... If you're in the area and need some specialty items or basic vegetable, give this place a try.

If you are looking for asian grocery, this supermarket would be your choice . Today I visited this supermarket and they have tons of chinese new year food available . The service that was pretty good , but they won't accept credit card if the amount was $10 or less . Just keep in mind The environment was pretty clean , but during my last visit the floor was pretty slippery .

This is the closest Asian market to my boyfriend's house so we usually shop here when we need last minute groceries and don't have time to drive further. I've had several negative experiences here and the convenient distance is not worth it anymore. All the fresh vegetables are so dirty; I find dirt and bugs every time I wash them. I literally have to wash them multiple times to remove all the dirt. During my last visit, we purchased frozen ramen noodles that were moldy! How do frozen noodles grow mold?? It was well before its expiry date so I'm assuming their refrigerator wasn't cold enough which caused it to spoil. I will never shop at 88 again and would rather drive a little further to a different Asian market.

$10 minimum for card payment. THERE IS NO SIGN THAT SHOWS THIS so just a heads up. Rude service. The items and food are pretty normal other than that, and the seafood doesn't look so fresh.

While I was shopping here, I overheard a conversation going on at Register #2. The cashier at that register was being so rude to the customer she was helping.The customer has a return because the produce or whatever she had bought was spoiled and had gone bad. Apparently, the cashier had asked what what was wrong with it, and the customer responded "would you eat that?" Then, the cashier responded and said "why you ask me if I would eat that!?"The conversation kept carrying on for a good 5 plus minutes and the cashier kept arguing over and over and saying the same thing of why you ask me if I would eat that, and then eventually said I just asked you what's wrong with it. Of course, the customers probably thinking why would you bother ask, you can clearly see it's rotten and gone bad...Either way, the customer still got her money back, but the customer service from the cashier was just so plain rude. The prices here aren't even cheap or reasonable, I wouldn't come here again!

They offer a lot of different selections for Asian dishes. I enjoyed finding things from all the ethic groups of Asia. They have a decent selection of fresh seafood in the store. We appreciated the customer service we got in the back while choosing out our seafood.

Smell of fried fish hits you when you walk in, not unpleasant at all, it smells great and it's cool they'll fry any fish you buy for free.88 has been around for maybe 1-2 years but it feels like it's been there for decades, they have cool packaged and canned goods from all over Asia and some Islander specific goods like Cassava and lamb shoulder. I would come for frozen and packaged stuff.The reason for the rating is I wish their seafood, meat, and produce vendors were better. I would not trust some of the stuff being sold here, especially after coming to grab strawberries for the kids and there was a huge moldy box right in the front row. If something like that is left there what goes un-noticed?They have a hilarious and sad "SHAME" list of shoplifters they printed out with dates and what they stole near checkout.I will continue coming here for sure to support them since they are the closest market to my bros apartment and will update this review if things change over time.

NOT THE PLACE TO BUY LIVE CRABS.When you buy a live crab here at this store, the worker gets it from their aquarium. The crab is still soaking and dripping in water, is hurriedly put in a heavy paper bag, then into a plastic bag and then weighed. In essence, the weight of the water plus the soaked heavy paper bag and the thick plastic bag is also charged to you at $13.99 per lb. This comes to a cost of about $2. OMG! Is this legal? Is this a scam? I complained and all I got was a blank stare.So, off I go and I went to 99 Ranch Market in Fremont and bought wifey's crab. They had a much more honest sales practice. The crab is put in the scale and weighed by itself. Then it is priced, then put in a plastic bag. Very Legit!I now stay away from 88 Market because of their dishonest practice. There are other asian stores nearby

my mom found maggots in the bag of sweet rice and cob webs in it... she called them about it and they completely dismissed her and couldn't give her any apologies or refund because they only allow it within 24 hours of buying it. Y'all.. don't buy from here, the products are not safe or sanitary.
