Ho Chin Market

I called ahead to reserve a ceremonial steamed chicken that the kitchen prepares only for the Chinese New Year holiday. The same lady I spoke with on the phone politely helped me get my order, and helped me find some other traditional Chinese items such as roast pork, honey glazed BBQ pork, and sticky rice dumplings. The dumplings are the savory kind and both peanut and mung bean versions have Chinese sausage and marinated duck egg.I was also able to find dried Black Sea moss (fat choi) and vacuum sealed ginkgo nuts to make Buddha's delight (jai) for Chinese New Year. Where I was not able to find these at 99 Ranch in Folsom or Oriental Market in Roseville. The merchant told me the market has been there for 80 years of which the current owners have been there since 2007. So the business has worn an imprint into the shop space quite substantially. The kitchen in the back looks as if it's that old, with the fragrance of authentic smelling roast meats clinging to the walls and food display cases. The front of the store where the majority of the Asian groceries were kept, was clean and organized so it looked like an alchemist's lab of herbs, spices, grains and fresh produce.If you're looking for ingredients for a Chinese recipe or just feeling adventurous to check out some Chinese culture I'd recommend checking Ho Chin Market out.

This is a very hidden Asian market to me; I didn't realize this place until I was passing by it when to Tealicious.They have fresh vegetables, a variety of frozen goods, and homemade buns eg: bbq pork, chicken, custard and mantou and wontons. Their products are quite affordable and fresh. The staff was friendly when I asked some questions.

The food (vegs and hot foods) is always fresh and plentiful. The service is friendly and the store is clean.

Wow this beat anything I've ever had in SoCal. Cheap and AMAZING quality Chinese bbq, reminded me of my time in SF. In the back of the supermarket, so so so good!

This place was all boarded up and looked run down? If this place was open sure didn't look like it but maybe it moved?

Small hole in the wall been going here for years ! U can get a whole duck cooked and cut up for 25!!! My go to ... fresh veggies ... and pan fried noodles already cooked so I can make an easy chow mein and fresh chasew pork also!! I've been coming here for decades ... you can also buy other hot food to go on certain days but call ahead they don't always have hot food everyday ! Lots of fresh poultry and tofu... my special hole in the wall Chinese shop

It's Aug 8 are they open yet after renovation?? We want roast pork and char sui and won ton skins.

What's going on? This is the second time. Does the cook need better lighting in the kitchen? Why the burnt noodle again and again?

A great small market with good prices, selection and recommendations. Will be back soon.

Small Chinese market that has all the essentials at great prices. They also serve hot food - I like the roast pork here, and BBQ pork fried rice Just an FYI that they are currently closed for renovations from 7/1/2024, reopening 8/5/2024.
