Lion Market

Lion Market is my favorite place to buy fresh food! Here you can always find the best seasonal vegetables and fruits that smell like they've just been brought from the garden. The meat and fresh fish department is also excellent. In 2026, it is very valuable to have access to quality food from local farmers in one place. The prices fully correspond to the quality, and the assortment pleases with the variety.

Vietnamese and Asian super market. Lot of options for tea and Asian grocery available.

We came here via recommendation from a friend who lives in San Jose. Before that, we always take grocery trips to 99 Ranch markets, in any store of the are we’re close at the time. This store was mediocre. There’s produce area, meat area, dry products, canned goods, and beverages. There’s no bakery or hot food deli area though. It’s like Vietnamese market with some mixup from Spanish. There’s 3 languages there: Vietnamese, English and Spanish. What we found good about Lion market was they have a variety of vegetables that is familiar with Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine. However, you cannot store them for long periods. For example, I bought some bean sprouts but they became rotten pretty quick. All of them. The result, I threw them all. The same goes for other veggies. Some has starting to have rotten parts. The meat was okay, but some have questioning color. Thus, I only bought 2 packs of meat. I found some Vietnamese products that has sales promotion, cheaper than other supermarket brands, but some products are higher. The worst part was they don’t accept Apple Pay or Tap. We have to use physical cards. That’s okay if the swiping function works. When we paid, the swiping function wasn’t working. The cashier told us to use the inserting function and input our pins. My husband declined and paid with cash. Later, my husband explained to me in the car that their old model card reader seemed to be broken and manual fixing with clear tapes. He worried about the security of the system, so he’d rather use cash. We’re not fond of carrying big cashes with us and always try to avoid cash only shops unless necessary. Now, good thing is that we don’t purchase much this time.

We found the atmosphere warm and inviting subtle Asian decor and soft lighting created a relaxed vibe while we browsed. The gentle background music and tidy layout made our visit feel pleasant and unhurried

Agree with previous reviewers that this location has more Mexican than Asian items. Veggies selections are not huge, compared to competitors. Some veggies are yellow (see photos).
