Dalat Supermarket

We were in Garden Grove for an appointment and decided to find a different grocery store to get supplies (instead of our usual haunts). So I searched for 'Korean Grocery' and Dalat came up. In reality, it's a supermarket specializing in Vietnamese groceries. But it does have quite a bit of Thai and Filipino groceries...not so much Korean (except for non-perishables like ramen). Their selection of vegetables common across the cuisines were great, and at really great prices. But things specific to a non-Vietnamese cuisine, they did not have (things like kimchi and soybean sprouts that I needed). But if you want to gather supplies for Pho, this is the place. And they had the largest selection of coconut milk, juice, and cream at prices 75% cheaper than found at an American grocery. They even had things I have not seen in other places (like baby squid frozen tentacles...these are my favorite part of a squid and to get them separated and frozen is a great convenience). They also had frozen mussels in large bags for really low prices (but just reminded me of the time long time ago when I bought and cooked bargain mussels bought from a local Vienamese grocers and got the worst case of food poisoning I could remember...just to save a few bucks...just a stupid thing to do).There are signs around prohibiting photography, so no pictures for this review.

I like going to Dalat supermarket for their wide vegetable selection and decent prices. But I waited more than 30 minutes today to get 1 little fish cleaned. I can clean my own fish but SoCal has spoiled me. However: It's a Saturday afternoon around lunchtime. They only had 1 guy behind the counter cleaning fish and sometimes 2 guys. They must be short handed or cutting back payroll but business will suffer if they don't do something about it. Some people left with their fish on the counter bc it was such an unreasonable amount of time to wait. One lady cut the line bc she thinks it's ok just bc she only needed to get her fish weighed and not cleaned, while a hurdle of people are waiting their turn. She should've been happy that the other guy weighed her fish for her. Instead, she started an argument with the guy that wouldn't let her cut the line earlier. BAD idea! He gave her a piece of his mind across the counter and we all jumped in to defend him.

International markets are always fascinating to explore as each store have unexpected and interesting products. This supermarket not only has products from Vietnam but also from different Asia countries such as Thailand, China, Korea, Philippines, etc. so you can shop many things. This place is huge with vegetable/fruit sections, fish sections, meat sections, pottery sections, etc. so I recommend you stop by every one of them to have the true experience. The store is not that fancy and it smells a little bit but it is worth to visit.I haven't had a chance to see or interact with the employees except the cashier but she was very bright and had a great customer service. Seems like the customers were satisfied with their purchase and left happily like I did.

Actually one of the more decent supermarkets. The place is relatively clean and they have pretty good produce. They have a lot of the regular items that we needed and are quite stocked. We didn't interact with many employees, but the ones we did interact with were nice. The parking lot is fairly small, however. There are a good amount of spots, but it's quite packed together. Prices were also very good and not too crazy. Not our first choice, but we'd definitely stop by if we're in the area.

I can find the kind of vegetables that I need to buy here, a lot of Asian products that you cannot find in any ordinary Asian stores. Could be better if they can at least lessen the smell of the wet market side.

There's so many viet markets in OC, & they all seem very similar. So I get it ! They all have the same musty smell, fluorescent lighting, outdated interior & grungy exterior. When driving by Dalat, this ticks all the boxes.Why do I like this store ? Very random but I happened to pick up some baby rice milk bath soap that I couldn't find anywhere else. It's an Australian brand I haven't seen anywhere & the bath soap is so awesome my hubby & I even use it on ourselves ! Besides the soap I also like the array of glass containers they have for sale - at a great price ! I am a glass tupperware queen, (we don't do nasty plastic !!!!) & if you're aware, glass tupperware is very expensive ! They have glasslock which is the snap lids that are awesome ! So if you're looking for tupperware, this is a good spot to get it. I also really like the metal cooking bowls & plates which are so handy in prepping ingredients. Don't spend $5 on a small dish at Sur La Table, Dalat has the same thing for a fraction of the price.We also get our 50 lb bag of jasmine rice here too which runs around $45. This isn't an every week store for us, but we stop here from time to time.

Thai store is the worst Asian supermarket ever especially the security old man was in the front on Sunday night I went there 5 minutes before close he literally point the finger on my and said go and spoke his language which it I don't understand. If you say you close at 9 pm then you should allowed people to get in even 8:59pm. Would never shop here again

Affordable supermarkets oh my God, not too expensive way cheaper than 99 Ranch market and H Mart

Be aware with using cashless payment methods here. My ebt card was scammed here and this was the last place it was used at then it was emptied out and used in Compton by the next day. Not sure who the people here are working with but be careful.

DO NOT USE FOOD STAMPS HERE!!!!!! Me and my mom went to this store to buy fish and shrimp for our dinner later, but when my mom went to put in her EBT card the cashier told her" she had done it wrong " and " fixed " it for her (that was December 27/2024) and on the 29th of December we went shopping to a different store and attempted to pay with our EBT card, but it wouldn't accept our card due to there being no balance in any of the options. there is also another review that went through a similar situation on google. SO DONT USE YOUR EBT CARD HERE THEY WILL STEAL ALL OF YOUR BALANCE!!
