Mekong Supermarket (formerly Sunrise Supermarket)

I discovered this place while helping a friend look for a Tesla Supercharger. Right off the 405 on Warner Ave there is a Vietnamese market called Mekong Supermarket inside the plaza. The store itself is smaller if you compare it with places like Shun Fat Westminster Superstore or Hòa Bình supermarket. There is only one checkout counter and the staff all seem to be Vietnamese. After walking around, they pretty much have all the basics covered. The focus is Vietnamese and Southeast Asian ingredients and sauces. They have their own seafood and meat counter with number tags where you can ask them to clean or cut fish, plus a small deli to go section. I also noticed their delivery vehicle outside that says wholesale, so it seems like they also supply restaurants in the area. Overall it feels like a neighborhood market that also does some wholesale business. The fresh section looked clean and there was no strong smell. I happened to see ground pork on sale for $2.49 per pound. The regular price was $2.79. Of course I had just paid $3.99 per pound earlier that day at 99 Ranch in Irvine because I wanted convenience. While we were there, a Vietnamese lady next to us was buying a big pile of meat and seafood and chatting with us while waiting for it to be cut. She said she always shops here. She ended up buying the last of the ground pork in the display. We asked if there was any left and the butcher said he had more in the back, so we immediately decided to grab two pounds. I think this place is perfect if you do not want to push a cart around a huge store and just need to pick up a few items quickly. They are open until 8pm. Next time I have more time I will come back and explore a bit more to see what other interesting things they carry. 📍Mekong Supermarket (formerly Sunrise Supermarket) 9380 Warner Ave Fountain Valley, CA 92708

Sunrise falls somewhere inbetween a convenience market and a regular Vietnamese market Nice medium-sized Vietnamese market with friendly service—really good if you want a quick in and out shopping experience without long lines or much complication. However, their produce, seafood, and other items selections are smaller than some of the main markets in the area.

I decided to check this place out. I was able to get some tea. They closed at 8 and the cashier told me as I walked in since I arrived around 7:50 p.m. I was able to get some ginger and some tea. Would definitely come back.

Small size but well stocked with almost everything you need for your cooking. Very clean and often is not busy making it easy for shoppers who are in a hurry. There is a small section with old veggies/ fruits that are lower in price for quick sale. My favorite to get something at cheaper price. Recommended.

Delighted to see that there is one closer to my house. Clean, friendly and have everything that I would need to make a Vietnamese meal (hint: pho)
