Mithepheap Market

They have a decent selection of exotic fruits. Great SE Asian ingredients. Just want to warn others to be careful during checkout as the cashier lady will overcharge you if you're not paying attention. She has done this my dad as well.

Mithapheap Market has been here for decades. i've been here before when it definitely was a Cambodian market. today, didn't see any Cambodian products but i didn't linger long. too cramped inside. not easy to social distance.the aisles can only fit one person at a time. store is crammed with noodles, dried products, canned/bottled eats, snacks, condiments, beverages, sauces..the prepped eats were all Vietnamese. small print: "Bai Da Naoup Tiep", (rice & coconut), "Map Bin" (cassava & coconut) 1.59. i like the cassava one better. lady asked for 3.50. paid it. didn't want to hang around to quibble price...-no sell by date, just "Daily Time 11:30 a.m. -4:00 p.m" printed-no mention of who made this. (probably an home kitchen).parking lot is stripped narrowly, not good for SUV's.

The prepared food here is good, and you can get a lot of canned and dry food specific to Southeast Asia. You've got to watch out for the knockoffs though. They sell sticky rice from the "Three Farmers" brand that is a rip-off version of the excellent quality Three Ladies brand. They also sell an "Apple" brand of what it's supposed to be Jasmine rice. It's not. The Apple rice has a sticky texture like Chinese or Japanese short grain. Worse, the Apple rice taste like it's been sitting on your counter for 3 days even when it's freshly cooked. We're trying to work our way through it because we hate to throw away 25 lb of rice, but it's nasty.

Love the selection a little overpriced as well compared to other local Asian markets. Not to mention the owner/lady is known for over charging and ripping customers off for the prices at checkout on multiple occasions. literally just paid $12.93 for two SMALL regular mangos. Not going to argue but won't be coming here and it's disappointing for someone to not be honest especially as a business owner.

So as I have eluded to before one of the biggest benefits of living in the Bay Area is that you can find just about any ethnic grocery store you can imagine. In the case of the Mithepheap Market we are talking about Cambodia. As with most ethnic grocery store you will find a large amount of overlap (for here is is Chinese and Vietnamese) but there alot of Cambodian specific treasures for you to unearth. From turmeric to preserved lemons, you could spend alot of time just poking around this small but well stocked store. They also had a selection of fresh herbs that you can plant to grow your own. Its in a fairly busy strip mall but parking can be found and its worth a stop if you are in the area

So rare to find a Khmer shop. I love how it's run by Khmer aunties! Fav place to get my Khmer dishes (prahok katith, twai kho, Thai egg plant, Khmer steak sauce, and so many more goodies).

Very friendly staff and cashier at this Cambodian grocery supermarket . They have all the seasonings and fresh herbs you need. They also sell live rooted herbs which you can buy and grow yourself . Will definitely come back here again.

They have a great selection of items, ranging from Thai to Laotian to Malaysian and on and on.I called in advance to make sure they were open and to make sure they had Kaffir lime leaves, which are hard to find, even at ranch 99. They were planning on closing a little early but were nice enough to stay until I got there, and they had everything I needed and more. I ended up buying a mortar and pestle to support them and because I needed one, though I'm sure I could have bought one slightly cheaper online somewhere.Overall, they were super helpful and nice, and it was worth the 40 minute drive from Concord.Personally, I can excuse the few moldy, fly ridden vegetables in the produce section, because hey, this isn't Whole Foods :)

Great little market for everything Thai. I got a Thai cookbook and needed authentic items. Prices are good. They even have goodies to eat and drink there.

They are open later than the markets in Oakland Chinatown, so I come here if I need herbs for southeast Asian-style dishes later in the day. They have Kaffir lime leaves, hot & sweet basil, lemongrass, galangal etc.The place is not that clean (dried fish falling out of its wrapping, dusty jars, dirty floors etc.), but that's not unexpected of a small Asian market like this. Service is better than average - they can assist if you need help finding a something in the shop. They also take credit cards.They have packaged stuff from other parts of east Asia like Laoganma chili crisp, Assi instant rice noodles and Burmese pickled tea leaves, but the selection is pretty limited. On the other hand, they stock many different brands of things like fish sauce.There is not much of a selection of packaged snacks and instant food, so it's not as fun to browse here. There are drinks in the fridges and prepared foods (mostly Thai stuff like noodles and balut, though I've also seen the saddest bean & rice burritos here too) in the front. Because the prepared foods are kept out at room temperature without indication of how long they've been sitting there, though, I have never opted to try them.
