Marina Food

Always so busy here. Great place to find variety of oriental stuff but will come back when it's less busy so I don't have to wait in line for so long

I would NOT recommend this place to anyon. I purchased some grocery items here and unfortunately I did not check the expiration dates on the items. EVERY SINGLE item was expired or expiring with a few week. Protect yourself either don't go there or check the expiration dates on all items before purchasing.If you contact the store via phone, Don't expect good customer service.

I was Asian market hopping and I stumbled across the Pig Bun at Maria Grocery. A local restaurant offered the exact item at high cost. If you don't want to pay the restaurant prices, then you can stop by here. I didn't personally find anything to buy here so service was irrelevant but the ambiance was quiet. It was a plus to have free parking.Overall, I don't prefer this place but if you're in search of the bun, you'll find it here.

Back when the pandemic happened I watched a lot of mukbangs, I'm talking ramen on ramen on ramen! I seen soooo many buldak noodle videos, etc and I googled where I could find them in my area and DING DING DING it's down the street! I love how it's never crowded when I go. The only issue I have is whenever I go, they don't have the carbonara noodles stocked. I have to get really lucky to even purchase them. Staff is friendly and honestly I just love how you can find everything you need in just one store. The frozen potstickers come in so many different fillings! there's so many delicious snacks that my daughter and I enjoy!Whenever I go here I just love the vibe and I'm immediately in a good mood cause I know im going to walk out with some delicious ramen! they also play some trendy music which is a mood.

One of the older bigger Asian markets in the area. Same model as a 99 Ranch. And since it is around the 20 or so year old mark, it is grimier than new models of Asian markets. But when I do come here, I'm not really lingering around, I'm in and out.I mostly come for Asian snacks like seaweed wrapped rice crackers or garlic corn nuts. Of course, I also restock my Asian pantry as needed, as I can almost find any of that here, whether Chinese, Japanese, Filipino or Vietnamese. It's a good resource to have.For meats, I'll mostly gravitate towards their seafood. Not a polished marketed look at all, but rather very old world. So you kinda have to know what you're getting into. I can usually find a nice find here and usually at a better price than 99 Ranch. Their produce department has really cheap prices. But in those cheap prices there are a lot of produce either in iffy shape or on it's last legs. So you really have to scan and pick through stuff. The good is if you pick the right stuff, it'll be prime and ready to eat as soon as you get home. Don't want a hard/pink tomato, easily solved here. But you have to be willing to use it within a few days, can't hang on to it for a week or so. I have a system for this place, so it works for me. So for a convenience stop because it is close to home, this place gets utilized fairly often. When it comes to groceries, it doesn't have to be pretty for me to warrant its usefulness. #getingetout

Ok I'll update review- variable produce quality & really old carts & cranky service remains problematic,But I'm really happy I can find obscure things I love at good prices here-Frozen fish tofu, & all kinds of stuff u can just throw into air fryer. passion fruit purée & jellies/boba/halo halo stuff for making drinks, and a HUGE selection of dumpling wrappers- coz we make hella dumplings. Also Yakult drinks ( not the knock off brands) , sour cherry juice, and various furikake.They also have random housewares at great prices, kitchen implements, even little stools & tables this past weekend.

0 star! AVOID THIS SUPERMARKET!!!I've had consistently poor experiences with this supermarket, particularly with the quality of their produce. On multiple occasions, I've encountered issues like apples that appeared fine on the outside but had moldy cores. It seems their fruits and vegetables are stored in freezers for too long, leading to spoilage that's hidden until you cut into them. Because of these recurring problems, I stopped shopping there years ago. Unfortunately, my in-law recently fell into the same trap. She purchased Chinese broccoli, only to find that 80% of it was unusable and had to be thrown into the compost bin. Similarly, a box of mangoes looked perfectly fine on the outside, but after waiting a few days for them to ripen, we discovered they were dark and purple inside--completely inedible.When I went to the store to request a refund, the manager was incredibly rude and informed me that produce must be returned within two days. It's clear this policy exists because they're fully aware their products aren't fresh. In contrast, other stores like Ranch 99 and 168 handle similar issues professionally, often offering apologies and resolutions without hesitation. I strongly advise against shopping here if you value fresh, quality produce.

I don't totally do all of my shopping here. They have a lot of Asian ingredients that some stores don't have. I buy pork butt here. I buy chicken. I've also bought fish . no issues . Do I buy anything that's already sitting out in the refrigerator section as far as meat.... no . But I do different select type of meats that's behind the counter and then they weigh it. I never had a problem. If you ever buy fish and the eyes are clear, you'll never have a problem. I never had a problem. I go to different stores to get different things. If I want ground beef, I'll go to Trader Joe's. If I wanted some good steaks, I would go to Costco. They are no different than any other store. You come here and get the things that you know are consistently good and you buy them.

I bought ground beef and cooked it the same day. I added to the whole pot and like the other customer, the meat stank and I had to throw away the whole pot. I will not return to this place.Plus I saw other vegetables with mold and bruises. They shouldn't be selling these bad items at all. Very disappointed. Health inspectors should check out this place!!!

The deli food section is terrible! The food is not good. The service is also bad. I will never go that area again.
