AA Marketplace

+ Open parking
+ Huge selection
+ Lots of random stuff.
Came here to buy some rice for my mom, they had a nice selection of both current and new crops. When I stepped into the store, it was huge. very open, nice and spacious. I didn’t walk around much, but they pretty much had everything as any other Asian supermarket does.
This one strikes me as iffy since there’s not that many Asian supermarkets in the location, the next nearest one would be down Euclid/​Garden Grove. and that one is in a plaza full of Asian-​isc stuff lol.
From the moment I was in there, I did see an array of items. from car stuff to food, to even clothing. It’s almost an Asian Walmart, but not really. I’d speak about prices here, but I didn’t really take the time to look. Since it’s so close to home, this is the go-​to for now.

This place is great everything you need. Im here everyweek sometimes twice a week lol. You get 1 coupon per $ 10 you spend. The coupons you can use in their chinese fast food, mexican food or their bakery in the back. Good prices on everything. I used to shop at el super til i found this place. Cant go wrong with this place!

I’ve been coming here for a while now which wasn’t bad but today i was dissapointed. The marinated meat (al pastor) had gone bad with the exp date of Nov 5 2015. Hope this can be resolved quickly (as i know it can) so it doesn’t waste my or any one else’s time.

I enjoy shopping here, prices and selection are a little better than other Asian or Hispanic market. It’s a little disorganized, the place is huge, but they have everything you need. All kinds of Asian food, including Filipino and Indonesian! I love the seafood and meat selections, cleaner than most Asian stores, and again, prices are great!

This review is for the seafood department and the little Chinese fast food in the front. Their seafood is a previously frozen. You can tell by the pic I posted. They threw the prev. Frozen shrimp to thaw in the display try. Not even trying to hide it. As I continued to walk by I noticed 3 not one but 3 dead Tilapia fish in their tanks. Mofo gross!
And the Chinese food place in the front is the nastiest place I’ve ever eaten. Gross old, saggy, barely legal meat. I’m a big dude and not one to throw away a meal especially after I purchased it but right in the trash it went after only a couple bites. I didn’t even take a pic or complain just threw it away and left. That’s how pissed I was.
Avoid it at all costs!!!

I enjoy shopping here. They have everything from Asian to Mexican products. The food deli was surprisingly pretty good.

This place is a great place to shop. It has everything that you need for any dish you want to make. They have great fish selection. The vegetables are fresh and they actually got tons of selections. We just keep coming back to this place. Plus you get food coupon that you can use at there bakery.

Asian and Latin Market under one roof, not kidding.
Stopped by here today to pick up some asian sauces and veggies.
There is various kiosks and eateries at this place.
Not to shabby. Clean store. Plenty of parking.

*** Asian/​Latin Fusion Supermarket ***
Can you imagine an Asian & Latin fusion supermarket concept? AA Market makes an attempt to cater to both market segments under one roof. Considering that the area has a high population of both Asian and Hispanics it kind of makes sense. This supermarket is located at the old Albertson’s on Harbor near Garden Grove blvd.
There is plenty of parking outside and a lot of supermarket space on the inside. Upon entering the market there are kiosks selling a variety of things including jewelry and watches. Walking further inside they layout starts to look confusing. They sell both Asian and Latin foods. In one area there’s marinated carne asada. In another area there’s marinated korean BBQ. In that mix clothing, toys, and other nick nacks are sold.
During my walk around the store exploring I listened to a mixture of banda music, ranchero music, and V-​pop music overhead. AA Market is an eclectic store trying to find its niche. I just find the store a little overwhelming as the store tries to be a one-​stop-​shop for everyone.
Bottom line… We bought some Korean BBQ and it wasn’t good at all. My daughter bought the boba smoothie and she didn’t like it (and she doesn’t dislike boba). We bought the usual groceries also. The experience was different, but it’s not good enough to make this my weekly supermarket.
Goods = ok Asian & Latin foods
Shopping area = clean, but needs better organization. Service = ok
Restroom = kind of clean, but old and dingy.

Pretty standard market. Parking spaces are plenty outside.
There’s an abundance of fresh groceries here and there’s even a Mexican restaurant/​deli/​bakery inside along with Asian groceries! I like already.
Bought some Jack fruit here, good deal. Other groceries are standard price or a bit more expensive.
I might shop here again if I’m in the area and stop by the Mexican food place too. Mmmm.

I do not like this place at all. Everything feels cheap quality wise and they don’t have an identity of what they want to cater to. They sell everything but that can be really bad because stuff just gets clustered. I came here grocery shopping but I ended up only getting salad for my spring rolls. I would have bought more items if they were more organized and the items seemed more better quality wise.

I was there to pick up milk. JUST MILK. And one of the people gathering baskets said it was closed. It doesn’t close for another 45 minutes! I understand you wanna leave but it’s ridiculous to allow your employees to lie to customers. You lose customers you lose money. What’s the point in running a business when you do that?

Only bad thing I can think of this supermarket is some of their employees lacking customer service! They’re getting better though.
So this store has literally everything! I’ve never had a bad experience with what they sell. We find anything that me as Mexican would buy at any other store. It is also a nice experience getting to know new products! I think it was a great idea to open up this store. Albertsons was expensive! This is cheaper and has way more stuff.

This is my new go-​to Asian supermarket! They have everything here… From groceries to toys, jewelry, make up, utensils, kitchenware, and a food court with Chinese food, Mexican food, and a bakery. They also got a cell phone place that I guess does unlocking for phones. This supermarket has good customer service, especially the guy that works at customer service. He is super friendly. The one thing I really like about this place is that they have occasionally have a special offer where they give coupons for every $ 10 that you spend. Then you are able to go to the food court (Chinese or bakery) to spend your coupons;but you can only use $ 5 at a time. The Chinese food is pretty decent too. I got fried chicken from there once. Their prices are decent too, and they have sales every week.

So I’m parked and on the phone with my friend and distracted from what I thought was the usual Albertsons. Low and behold I get off the phone and it’s this Asian store.
I decided to go in because I was waiting to meet a friend anyhow. This store was so great. It was like a bazaar inside, which had a few clothing and jewelry stands inside too.
This shop had it all. Asian things, American things and brand names you see at target to things you see at dollar store.
They even had a Marc Jacobs little bag! Yup it was real. Neiman Marcus box and real leather inside … $ 20.
They had such a huge array for unique candies and cookies a person could go crazy buying things just to taste and review!
What the heck?! Soooo many things you would have to be in there for hours. My visit was unfortunate and 15 minutes. Needed makeup wipes and bought a mascara brush and some gummy funny candies and coconut water. I’m going to be trying this coconut juice brand that was recommended from another Unilocaler, despite too much sugar and calories, that my Zico doesn’t have. This has pulp, so we’ll see. I will definitely be going back here! With a larger budget to buy random things I don’t need.

Visited for the first time today and I must say I was extremely impressed and also overwhelmed by the vast selection of grocery goods and household items in this supermarket.
You will find almost anything you need in this megastore for your home and/​or kitchen. It is almost like an Asian Wal-​Mart that also caters to various ethnicities of food such as Mexican and Filipino.
The workers were also very kind and helpful and you will definitely not be disappointed by the prices. Everything is also clean and well organized which is a big plus in my book.

For those people who are used to markets like ABC, Da Lat, or Saigon Supermarkets, this one is a bit different. 1) They have a clearance section. 2) They sell sheets, bedding, supplies, & wall décor. 3) It’s a fusion of a Vietnamese and Spanish market. They have meat labeled for phở and for tacos.
My favorite thing is the meat selection. The prices are great, the butchers behind the counter are very friendly, and the meat is good quality.
My least favorite thing is how the store is set up. The aisles go are set up north/​south & east/​west in different sections. It’s confusing where the actual product is and I spend more time than usual searching for what I am looking for. But I’m sure if I go frequently enough, I’ll be able to nail it down.

Super random writing a review of a supermarket but…
This supermarket really is SUPER. I call it the «Asian Walmart» LOL.
You can find anything here you can think of!!! Food court… clothes… cooking electronics… utensils… school supplies… medicine… beauty essentials… personal care… etc. Best of all the MOST VARIETY in CHEAP groceries.
They cater to ALL ethnicities so this is definitely a one stop shop!
–Asian (pretty much the majority)
–Mexican (there’s a carniceria, cheeses, salsas etc)
–Pacific Islander (filipino, thai, etc)
–American (self explanatory)
Sometimes I just go in the seafood area just to look at all the fish and shellfish (kinda like going through aquarium but all the fish are dead LOL).
You will see a lot of seafood, veggies, and fruit you have never encountered before so it’s definitely FUN browsing for me. I’m a 23yo grandma and my definition of «fun» is a little morphed.
This store is big, but it will not overwhelm you and is easy to navigate. I would go here over ALL the other supermarkets in the area!!! (i.e. ralphs, vons, and other viet/​mexican/​korean markets).
If you’re a hippie I’d stick with Sprouts/​Whole Foods… But hey I got organic blueberries here for 99 cents so you never know!

I was excited that a new asian market was opening up by my house. The location was previously occupied by Albertsons/​Savons. For awhile they were abandoned. So today i came to check it out.
For those of you that don’t cook or get lazy to do after a long day of work, they do have a food court/​food to go sections: chinese, vietnamese, mexican.
They have all sorts of fruits from the typical stuff like: banana, apples, oranges, pineapple to the exotic Jack fruit, coconut.
Vegetables ranges from all sorts of chinese veggies: eggplants, shi qua (chinese squash/​okra), A –choy, taro leaves, etc. They have big shallots here! for 99 cents. Trader joe’s sell it for 2 pieces for 99 cents. This place sells the whole bag.10−15 pieces. You can find all sorts of mushrooms (enoki, shitake, maitake), shredded papaya, Chilies: Thai chilli, jalapeño, serrano, habanero!
Gosh i don’t have to go to the mexican market anymore!
Meat sections, seafood sections… they also do cleaning and frying services! :)
They have life fish tanks… it’s funny how the white people come to teh seafood section and asking the vietnamese guys who work behind the seafood section asking:” are your fish farm raised or from the ocean?“
Look! they won’t know!.. geez. they have a hard time even speaking english… you expect them to explain if they were raised in the farm, pond or ocean???
really?
This is not wholefoods!
they have noodles, tofu, fish/​beef balls. They have spices sections: Mexican, Indonesian, filipino’s, etc.
What i found interesting they ahve some filipino’s ice cream. avocado ice cream??? who would have thought??? :) i’ll come next time to get that, or the Ube ice cream. it was $ 6.99 for a round tub.
Up by the registers they have home gadgets, cookwares, beauty products… you name it.
I came out thinking:” OMG they have so much shit there… but wow. i found everything i wanted to get.“
they didnt smell like a typical asian grocery store. thats a surprise… Not even a frying, greasy smell. I bought fried smelt.:P good with my Indonesian sweet soy sauce & chilli sauce concoction.
Happy shopping! :)

This supermarket open on April 16^th right now. You can get a free gift with a purchase over $ 20.
This place is awesome. They have things from face masks, Mexican pastries, to a Vietnamese food to go, duck, microwave, picture frames, american face product, la color makeup, and fresh produce. There fruit and vegetables look pretty cheap. I love that they have my beauty diary mask, my scheming mask, and 3w clinic mask. Lots and lots of variety of items.
Parking is packed since its new. And management and cashiers are kind of slow make sure they charge you for the right price. They charged us more for our masks but it was on sale. There clearance section seems like go backs or something. Looks like there trying to be a mix between Asian and Hispanic. They have food samples too!
I love it. Will come back when it improves more.
