Lion Supermarket

It depends on what you come to this Chinese grocery store to buy. Cantonese-Chinese songs are usually playing in the background. Don't expect excellent customer service here. They do the minimal to keep the place operating. Inflation prices have impacted most grocery stores. This location has gone from a 4-5 to a 3-4 rating these days. It's not as exciting to visit anymore. They used to be fully stocked with grocery items, especially in the meats/freezers areas until their refrigerators broke down few years ago during pandemic, causing lesser customers to revisit. Only entrance doors on left side is open. They still have good deals if you compare them to 99 Ranch stores or Marina grocery store though. It's less expensive and more affordable at Lion's Supermarket. Fresh clams $11.10 for roughly 1.7 lbs., $6.99 per bag frozen shrimp headless with shells on, and $6.99 per bag cuttlefish/carved squid. You can do a lot with grocery items here. Inexpensive. Some of the shelves looked empty, but it's still a convenient place to stop for fruits and vegetables. Lots of noodles and sauce ingredients too. One piece fresh ginger $0.35, 2-3 pieces red/green bell peppers $1.40-$1.69, full bag of green scallions $0.99 each, etc. Saw fresh shrimps with heads & shells on $3.99 per lbs. Sometimes, it goes for $2.99 per lbs. If only they invested into a much better building. This place is old. Food packaging are pretty clean and bundled up pretty good. I would still pick up items here knowing that it is more expensive elsewhere around here. Employees chat with each other very much. Manager needs to smile more. They have the basics. Inventory is limited these days. Empty shelves are common. Glad to have a Lion's Supermarket in Milpitas, CA. They are still important if you want to buy groceries and cook delicious meals at home.

This Lion's Market is good for certain things. I usually stop in to get sauces, canned goods, or sometimes Asian vegetables.Otherwise, it's a typical Asian market. You come in here for a reason - in and out fast as possible!The cashiers are pretty fast and efficient. Can't find a certain product you are looking for? Don't bother looking for help as it's scarce.

ample parking, prices are a bit cheaper than San Leandro. Not that I will drive here just for groceries but was in the area for some thing else. They carry everything a traditional Asian grocery market carries. No wait for check out when I was here.

This Lion Market in Milpitas is owned by greedy scammers who post price tag on shelve low prices to attract people to buy then at the check out, you will need to pay 50% more than what you see from their shelve price! I purchased these bone China spoons and their tag prices were on the blue basket for 89 cents each on 6/10 at 2pm. There were 5 of these prices tags for 89 cents on the attached photo. At the check out lane #1, a supervisor/casher (dual roles) scanned at the spoon for $1.29. I then told her it should be 89 cents each as seen on the shelves. She went to the household section to check for the price tag and she told me that is old price and now it is $1.29. I told her your store should honor the price of what customer sees and they said you don't need to buy. She then asked her store assistant/warehouse clerk to make sure to remove that $0.89 price tag. In this scenario both the supervisor and store clerk knew old price was less than a dollar but they still charge at what their "systems" show at and make customer overpaid 50% extra from the original price tag! ( I brought 5 spoons and they made me overpaid $2.) This store has so many tricky, unfaithful, dishonest supervisor and their staffs grouping together to trick customers to overpay their groceries and home goods! The manager does not honor their price and put blame on customers by overcharging.Also this Vietnamese owned grocery store inside smell like rotten dead mice, my clothes was smell like dead meat after short staying of shopping. I highly doubt of their quality of safety and hygiene on meat and fruit. I would suggest people to shop at H-Mart, Osaka Market, or any other Korean market chains for their fresh produce, honest, and polite customer services.

Good service and products here, Rice is insanely cheaper than Safeway too. Safeway and similar grocery stores only sell rice in small quantities, but you can get big bags of rice of different types from around the world for cheap.

As shocking as it may be, this particular Asian supermarket may be the worst of the worst when it comes to me stepping foot in....No refrigeration was working or being used the way that it should have. Items we're being stored randomly in the fridges and was simply very awkward. There was a lingering stench that I can only assuming came from this mess.While there were a couple of snacks I was intrigued by, everything else was just okay. There were plenty of empty slots in the shelves throughout the market.I'm not sure if this store is going out of business or possibly gearing up for an upgrade but how things are currently being managed is a complete N-O!! Make your way to the next nearest supermarket, this one is a complete dud!

the vegetables are fresh and farm based. like this place, clean and tidy well. this place is better than before.

I was buying ground meat and a chuck of meat at Loin Super Marker at 1838 N Milpitas Blvd at noon Sept 27, 2024. A chubby employee wearing a white hat behind the counter was so rude and impatient, and saying not serving me as customer and even use "F" word. This is too outrageous!!!!It's shame Lion Super Market in Milpitas has such awful low class employee. I will tell people not shipping there at all.

Loose grapes were $1.29 a pkg when I was paying for groceries a worker came to counter with several more bags that looked better n larger. I asked to exchange cashier said no. I then ask for refund. Customer service is still MEAN not friendly cold personality. My friend returned hot sauce must buy 2 for sale price another cashier in different line gave my friend a dirty look. Unpleasant shopping experience. Store continues to have bad odor upon entering!!!

Quite the downfall... Leeks are $1.49 EACH! That's quite unexpected... but still a good store. Quite roomy and a great place to shop. I love the variety of music they play. It had some updates... DID THEY CHANGE THE CHECK OUT MACHINES?! Customer service is simple, quick, just bag your stuff , pay, have a good day. I hear lots of weird science about the employees but as a blind person I doubt it. Service is OK. Not too crowded, mostly just a quiet, musical store. Will I be back again? Maybe... That is, if I am in the area.
