88 Marketplace

88 Marketplace is spacious. They have an extensive selection and a wide variety of foods. They look like they typically have excellent fresh produce, e.g., fruits. I enjoyed soy milk and tofu I got here, especially the VitaSoy soy milk they had. The store itself looks great. It looks like they have a lot of staff in case you desire help. They also have a food court that looks like it typically has great options. I was grateful they had a parking lot.

China's Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunions. There are many people shopping, and the scene is bustling. The goods are abundant and fresh. The shopping malls are spacious and clean, and the snacks are rich and varied, delicious and fragrant. It is full of rich oriental colors and is a good place for shopping, leisure, participating in activities and tasting delicious food.

It is actively busy in and out. From their two parking lot to the grocery store. Also thankful that the parking lot is free. The groceries store has a lot of good variety from veggies, dried and frozen food. Giving a lot of props to the cashier and bagger, who are actively working as fast as they can to move the line.

Who doesn't love a good marketplace especially an Asian one that carries all sorts of imported and locally sourced goods? Who doesn't love a good marketplace especially an Asian one that carries all sorts of imported and locally sourced goods? And the best part — free parking lot and city street parking so you don’t have to scramble to pay and be on a timer. Whenever my family and I make a trip into the city -- usually for dim sum or a meal with extended family we like to stop here on the way home, even if it's just to browse. The market is located on the second floor of the building. There's an escalator that takes you up, as well as elevators for accessibility. The main building itself houses several other Asian businesses, including restaurants and specialty shops. So what can you find here? Pretty much everything: produce, fresh foods, snacks, meats, seafood, and aisles of refrigerated desserts. It's expansive --maybe even a little overwhelming but in the best way. They also carry many niche items that I haven't been able to find at my local H Mart or other large Asian grocery chains in the suburbs. For example, I love these particular Hello Kitty French-styled waffles with a trio of crème fillings that come in a beautiful pink gift box with a ribbon on top. I haven't seen that same product anywhere else. Around Lunar New Year, they also sell red lì xì (red envelope) packets. During the season, you'll find live cherry blossom branches and small orange citrus trees (likely kumquats), which are symbolic for Lunar New Year celebrations. Seeing those live plants always makes me reminisce about Tết and Spring Festival celebrations in Vietnam. The branches and plants were priced in the upper $30+ range -- definitely a vibrant decorative addition to any Asian household. There's also a food court that runs along the right side of the market. It's a bit tight in terms of table spacing but the variety covers Chinese dishes, sushi, and bakery and more. This area is convenient if you want to grab a bite before or after shopping. Price-wise, I think it's comparative to any food court ranges, a little bit mark up, but convenient for when you just need to catch a breath and have a meal before you do more shopping or after shopping. The only downside I can think of this place is that the restrooms on this floor aren't very clearly visible. I actually only know of one restroom area on this floor and it's in the food area (located to the left of the store) and through the sushi bar. Follow the exit sign and go straight into those curtains area to find a bathroom hallways. If anyone else know of another restroom area, please drop me a note on this review to let me know. I added a photo for reference. There's also another restroom on the first floor if you take the escalator down. These tips might be helpful to know if you're here shopping with kids. Overall, this is a great marketplace for both locals and tourists. There's so much you can pick up as gifts or bring home to family and friends. You could easily skip overpriced airport gift shops and shop here instead. When you exit the market, there's also a specialty shop on the lower basement level filled with unique imports from China, Korea, and Japan -- everything from toys to home goods. It's another excellent place to browse for souvenirs. I don't have the name handy, but that might be saved for my next review :) Tip: Bring your own bags to shop or you can purchase upon checkout. We always keep some bags in our car and my MIL remembers so it saved us from having to buy bags.

This is the first time I’ve been in here in two years. I was looking for five treasure tea and Barley tea back then ,I ask three different people but nobody spoke English.this time two years later. I got Assistance from two different people who spoke English. Their customer service was off the charts, looking for other items, but I still could not find Barley tea or the five treasure tea. In this store. Great store I always pick up three things. I love the fruit and have you seen the meat case the next time I come I’m gonna have to grab some seafood. If you have not been to the store, you should plan a trip. I have had no negatives whatsoever. I will be back again.
