168 Market

One of the nicest and cleanest looking Asian specialty & food store in Vegas. my only gripe is the Las Vegas prices on certain items other then that this place rocks. get the Portuguese pasties de natas also known as egg custard cup.

This is one of my regular places to shop. They are close to my house and their selection of vegetables is one of the best. The check out people are courteous. I used to be able to get certain spices there that they no longer carry. Ah, well, that’s the way of less than popular items. Still, I think their prices are good and will keep shopping at the 168 Market on Jones.

My wife and I shop here often and today security approaches me to stop taking pictures. Instantly I wanted to tell the man something called, Unilocal,but I simply said alright. Really doesn’t make any sense. And no I wasn’t being any other way than an amazing customer that’s been shopping here since we moved from Hawai’i a year ago. And to end it off, I wasnt taking pictures. I just had my camera around my neck.

Fresh seafood selection is amazing.
Butcher is superb: beef tenderloin less than $ 11/​lb!
Produce is second to no-​one
Many products and an attentive staff
Largest rice selection I’ve seen to date
Pastry is fantastic.
Try something new you’ll be impressed

This Asian market is in China Town on Spring Mountain and Jones. Check it out. They have the freshest seafood here that you have to see for yourself. They even have assigned it says that they have to kill the fish before they sell it to you. If that is in fresh I don’t know what to tell you.

Bakery section deserves some accolade. Varieties of Toast bread are soft and no preservative added. Assorted baked good are tasty. Some items after oven toasted takes on a new life. Cakes are not overly sweet, and delicious. Egg tarts are yummy.

This is one of my stops on weekly market round up. I try to get stocked up at all out of the way places at once, so I’m not spending all day running back and forth.
I come here for certain types of produce– mushrooms that you can’t find affordably elsewhere– black are my favorite, though they aren’t always in stock, shitakis and oyster. Other items I snag are bags of ginger, occasionally taro leaves, bok choy (especially baby), sometimes seasonal berries and apples.
In frozen seafood I pick up frog legs, at $ 4.99/Lb they are priced better than my local Smith’s by a few bucks, and baby squid.
Then off for wonton and egg roll wrappers, oyster sauce, very well priced canned coconut milk, rice cooking wine, rice vinegar, sesame oil.
It’s not a one stop shop for me by any means, I also drop by La Bonita for bulk of my shrimp, chicken and produce needs, Russian store for kinder eggs and Costco for majority of other staples and occasional trip to Smith’s, but I’m not Asian and this isn’t my primary method of cooking.
Still, I love this store and occasionally grab fresh bread, rolls or pork bao to treat the fam.

Asian grocery store comparable to Seafood City without the massive crowd. You can find parking in the front without circling around 10x just to spot a space to park, lol! However, the staff are Chinese? So they may not get your accent easily when you ask them for something?!? But for people in the southwest area, this store is the convenient place to grab a cart and do your shopping.

The store’s manager Ivy Deng has very bad attitude. The package of Kamfen mix-​noodle spice pork has two barcodes so $ 1.29 & $ 0.69 shown after scanning. The former price is regular and the latter one is sale price. The cashier charged me $ 1.29 twice for 2 packages. After I asked to refund the money, Ivy Deng asked me do I want to buy them. I said no. She was angry and pushed my cart to a cashier for returning all groceries I spent more than one hour picked. I told her I just don’t want to buy the noodles not the whole stuff in the cart. She said she has her right not to provide service to me. I don’t understand how could she be a supervisor with this bad manner.
I will go back this store to buy Chinese foods as long as I do not see Ivy Deng.

If there were 0 star l would give it that. I go there all the time, the workers including the manager (ugly guy with tail hairstyle) are just rude and unfriendly. They manage to piss me off almost everytime I go there. Today the regular lines were full so I only had a few items so I tried to go to customer service where they have the Chinese newspapers, I figured I can pay everything there along with my newspaper. They have a sign that says «You must pay for newspaper here». As soon as I tried to get close to there, the manager yells «NO!!!» Like I was a dog or something, he continues to yell «THEY’RE CLOSED!!!» I mean, who the hell he think he is to yell at me? I immediately dropped my shopping basket and left. I’m going to make it a point to not shop there as much as I can from now on, they piss me off once too many

It’s a nice clean calm store with dim lighting. They offer a few Sun Tropics Nectars that I really like, and the restaurant in the front offers a nice variety of cooked food items including duck (hanging cooked ducks on display). I’ll be back for seasonal produce selections.

Went to buy orange and water… it was on sales…33 cents per lb., but the oranges were very closed to rotting. There were better oranges at 59 cents per lb. I still had enough orange to last the week, so did not buy any orange.
There was only two kinds of bottle waters. Ten dollars for 3 pack of 24 bottles… good price, but I did not need three packs. Bought two gallon bottles for $ 1.19 each. That should be enough water for my use for the rest of the week.
This store is dirtier than my store in Hacienda Heights, but my store is brand new.
This store is ok. Now there are four Chinese markets on Spring Moon. Competition is good for the consumers.

3 items for 7.50 and they have yummy dim sum as well. Get there after 11 but before 2pm

This feels like one of the older supermarkets my parents would take me to as a kid in the Alhambra area, before 99 Ranch started dominating. The building itself feels older and muskier, probably from decades of sea food and Chinese herb products. The prices are still very reasonable, and there’s always good specials on imported food products. I come here every once in a while to replenish my bamboo shoots, canned fried gluten, dried pork products, pickled cucumber, hot sauce, and whatever else looks good for my congee I make quite often. They also have a great selection of fish and cheap Asian vegetables, though I don’t come out here specifically for that. Koreatown is closer but for Chinese imported products, it’s a toss up between here and 99 Ranch.
Ample parking, decent prices but feels kind of musky. If you want a better selection and variety in a newer place, 99 Ranch a mile away is a better go to, but if you know what you want, this will do just fine.

Oh My! This market is actually pretty cool! You literally can find almost anything in this store when it comes to authentic Asian food! My review is just on the take out Chinese food they offer at the deli. I come here sometimes during a lunch break and take advantage of the lunch deals they run on the daily. I’ve also bought a few items from the bakery as well. Everything is prepared fresh daily (so they say) and it does taste great so I believe them! I never know what is classified as a good time to visit here because they seem to ALWAYS be packed! The parking is awful so I almost always have to park a little further down in the shopping plaza and just walk down. Majority of the people who like to shop at this store CANNOT drive to save their lives so in essence I don’t mind parking as far away from them as possible. Other than that pretty good market!

This is always one of my «must go’s» when I go to Vegas. I’m fairly certain this is the only time I’ll say that a grocery store is a «must go.» It’s clean. Full of fresh cuts of meat and «asian» vegetables. The great part is that there have a little diner area that is super popular. It’s basically like a Panda Express in the sense that you pick a few dishes and they put it in a lunchbox for you. But it’s authentic, delicious food! You can also buy whole roasted duck to take home. In addition, there are lots of Dim Sum items. The egg tarts were also some of the best I’ve had!

I’m not sure what my comparison is, as most Asian markets in vegas have the same type of feel and vibe going on. The produce here is very questionable, and the meats, I’m not too sure. It is a great place however, to come by and pick up some asian goods for an affordable price, and, in comparison to other supermarkets, the produce price is lower.
I think this might be the only place that actually sells ground chicken meat. I’ve had immense difficulty finding it at other major stores like Smiths, or even Greenland.

While the prices here are a bit higher than the SF market that is also in the neighborhood, they do have a bit larger selection, specifically Chinese products. They also have a much larger bakery section and take out food section (which is pretty popular) vs SF’s take out food section, which is pretty non existent.
Though most times parking can be a bitch and while entering or exiting the store at peak hours you can feel like a salmon swimming upstream, esp going in through the right side door.

More than once noted for its green and red glow on Jones, in the plaza across from Chada Thai, Asian BBQ and Noodles, and more, it was shortly after work that I finally decided to stop in at 168 Market and although the aisles contain any number of ethnic items and unique «oddities» it was in the Supermarket’s food court that the majority of my time and $ 20 was invested, five hot items and six pastries all showing far more strongly than a passerby might expect.
Known as one of the most prominent providers of Chinatown’s roast duck, produce, and offal — all prominently displayed and far more affordable in some cases than even the large local chains — 168 Market is equally striking in the cleanliness of its layout and friendliness of the staff, though those wishing to take pictures are encouraged to focus only on the products as some of the staff voiced understandable concerns with photographs subsequently deleted.
Striking in the breadth of options, the hot bar alone with at least forty items to be mixed-​and-​matched for a meal, it was mostly on dim sum that my fresh-​made order was centered, the Har Gow unfortunately marred by small shrimp without much flavor while the fried balls coated in crunchy sweetness fared far better, easily on par with those at Ping Pang Pong at a fraction of the cost despite the lack of Kewpie mayo.
Rare to forgo Congee, particularly a big Styrofoam cup for $ 2 that was chock-​full of preserved egg and sliced pork, another great bite was found in the fried chicken and mushroom stew pockets with a toothsome mochi-​like exterior, the same to be said of still-​jiggly egg custard tarts.
Onward to baked goods, three ladies working the small station simultaneously baking, bagging, sorting, and replacing items on shelves, the selection at 168 Market runs the gamut from standards to novelties and a wide selection saw five successes and only one failure, the ‘meat’ filling of the Pork Sung bun essentially hardened into a dry mass with a texture best described as ‘hairy,’ and a flavor that was not only overwhelmed by spice up front, but sour and acrid on the finish.
Moving on to better things, those fancying Taro will be well advised to investigate either buns or cakes sweetened by the brilliant purple starch and yet as good both these were they still couldn’t stand up to the high quality of a remaining trio of red beans, blueberry jam, or rich butter — the latter harkening both pull-​apart dinner roll and croissant in its texture with a lovely residual sweetness left to linger on the palate.
****Far more friendly and cleanly than other spots in Chinatown, and as much fun to browse as it is to partake in the goods, 168 Market is a place anyone interested in Asian Specialty items would be behooved to check out.

We had not gone here yet but after hitting the Silverton Casino Flea Market this morning we were hungry. For about $ 12 we got a 3 item combo with spicy pork, chicken and peppers with chili and some ribs, plus my favorite 3 sesame balls with red bean paste, and a delicious fresh mango drink on ice.
We shopped for lychees and longans, special amaranth tea, the coconut milk at 3/​$ 2!
The place is hopping. Parking is nutso but this is a popular spot. I love living next to the Chinatown area!
