Dong Mai Market

Great selection of Asian produce, particularly ingredients you'd need for Thai, Vietnamese or Cambodian cuisine. They even have fresh keffir lime leaves and lemon grass... The necessary ingredients for Tom Yum! If you've spent a considerable amount of time in any of the aforementioned countries, or if you're familiar with the local ingredients, you'll be pleasantly surprised with the various selections available here.

Dong Mai is located in Cambodia Town in Long Beach, Ca they cater to the Asian crowd, specifically southeast Asians. They offer a ton of spices one can’t get at their local grocery store. I was even surprised to see specific mortar and pestle for papaya salads, Asian style sticky rice bamboo thingy even kitchenware at such an affordable price. Noodles, rice paper, spices, even a spice pack for pho, coconut cream powder, egg noodles, frozen lemon grass, fruits, vegetables, meats and fish. I was there for a specific reason! I was in search of Sai oua or something similar. Sai Oua is a grilled pork sausage from northern Thailand, northeastern Myanmar and northern Laos. One would think 99 Ranch would carry this but they don’t! I was so happy to see that they sell this here and they come in different varieties/brands. I opted for both the Champ brands but one was $5.99 and the other $12.99. Peep the pics of the cheaper one, I have yet to make the other. If you are in the area or need to find Southeast Asian spices or meats this is the place. This is also a cool spot just to walk around. They do have a table of desserts and some cooked foods!

This is my go to store for Asian stuffs. It is quite a drive for me but every time I'm in the area I always drop by to stock up at home for some Khmer cooking. I can't ignore the snack table with so many desserts and snacks. As always I grab the numbachok, it is the only one in town that cater to my taste. I tried other numbachok that sell at other markets, not yummy to me. The krung is good also it's moist, not dry like other stores. Favorite part is the dessert table. Ready to eat Cambodian noodle, numbachok curry, pandan coconut waffle, varieties of coconut milk desserts, palm sugar snow ball, cambodian caramel donut, eggrolls, pumpkin cake, onsoms, stir fried noodle. Quick stop for some meals. Homemade Pandan coconut waffle is better than many bakeries. Shop for gifts @ idyliss.store

This is my go to Asian market in Long Beach. Pretty basic breakdown: the staff is fairly helpful; it's clean and organized; and the prices are reasonable.

Maybe it’s the language barrier but I was denied purchasing 1lb cut of beef, even the one I ask for 1lbs, the butcher gave me 1.5lbs and did not elaborate further why when I questioned about the amount I was given. On the other side of the fresh seafood counter, the staff was pleasant enough and was willing to help even though we don’t communicate really well to each other. I personally will avoid the meats section, but I’ll definitely try the seafood one in the future. Large selection of fresh vegetable and the people at the checkout were always helpful and pleasant.
