Thanks to the new US tariff policy, I perceived that my God given right to cook all the Chinese food I could possibly handle might face future economic hardship. I might have to *gasp* switch to a less tasty brand of soy sauce. (kimlan also pearl river, mmmmm...) So I toodled off to the 168 Market which was remarkably calm and well stocked reflecting none of the imminent peril to Asian cuisine. I stocked up on some specialty items for the wok ( steaming inserts, wok spatula) just because I refuse to pay the future exorbitant prices. Cuz you know once they figure out you'll pay the higher price, they ain't never coming down. As I laid aside a 2-3 year supply of essential cooking supplies (I'm an optimist); Shaoshing wine, Szechuan peppercorns (also known as prickly ash), black vinegar (chinking) , roasted sesame seed oil (Kadoya), soy sauce both light and dark, dried shiitake mushrooms, oyster sauce (Lee Kum Lee premium oyster sauce) ...it occurred to me that living in a city which zero Asian grocery stores for a decade during my formative years has done a number on my repertoire. I used to visit home over the holidays and return with exactly this list. Which means I must consult my favorite cookbook The Woks of Life (great for Shanghainese cooking) and come back with a much better list.
This is a review for their bakery. The baker was willing to help me get a blue cake for my baby shower party. It was an 8" chocolate mousse cake like what they have on display and I just added my cake topper. The cake was very good! Typical of asian-styled cakes, it wasn't too sweet and the whole cake was finished by all my guests. We also ordered 12 chocolate cupcakes with no alterations and my guests were also pleasantly surprised at how sweet enough they were and that they also had chocolate mousse inside the cupcakes. I would definitely order my desserts from them again.
Excellent fruit and vegetables. Good organic selection s. Good meat.poultry and seafood. Prices are mid to fair. Pleasant staff
168 Market is still getting people coming in for grocery. I would had expected 168 Market to ruining Seafood City but I was wrong. Parking is easy to find at this location. I thought it would be difficult to find parking since there is a Walmart nearby and once again I was wrong. Whenever I go inside 168 I been ordering Boba Tea which is hard to resist getting. I love the Boba Tea compare to going to Quickly. 168 Market surely been keeping up with maintenance. I have not seen any damages inside and the carts are still rolling properly.
So this place is a big competitor with 99 ranch and H-mart. I'd say it ranks somewhere in between the two. It competitively priced like 99 ranch but it's also pretty clean and designed nicely like H-mart. In other comparisons it seems like it had a wider selection of Asian goods than both 99 Ranch and H-mart with lower prices. Cash registers are fast and open so you get in and out pretty fast. Overall this is definitely a nice place to visit if you're in Vallejo. Also, they serve hot foods there as well. I didn't get a chance to try it but it's pretty much the same price as 99 ranch ie dim sum and the to go counter. There is also a bakery section in which it seemed pretty decent as well.
This is like 99 Ranch! Vallejo already has a couple grocery stores specializing in Filipino groceries but 168 Market has more variety in other Asian groceries. The produce section isn't the largest. But what they have seems fresh. The protein section is huge though! It's the entire back of the store. While Safeway is facing an egg shortage 168 had plenty of options. When I came here it was clean, well stocked, and not too crowded/busy even being a Saturday evening. I suppose since the initial hype has died down the service and stock has improved with less of a customer rush. They have a bakery and a hot deli as well! I like their selection of desserts. The alcohol selection is a little limited. I think they have more variety than other Asian markets for other items. Such as they have the Kirin bottled milk tea which I haven't been able to find at 99 Ranch. Definitely come by and check them out. They have a lot to offer. Maybe it's not everything and other places are better for certain items. But it's a great addition to Vallejo! No more driving 30 min to County Square in Vacaville or crossing the bridge to a 99 Ranch!
Honestly love this new spot in Vallejo. It's a bummer the city doesn't have an H Mart, but this one is close enough. It gives me 99 ranch market vibes. From the hot food area, to the take home KBBQ meat and a plethora of ramen choices -- there's something for everyone here. The market itself is huge and clean. Service was great. Didn't have to wait long in line at all. 10 out of 10 would definitely come back.
Such a great addition to Vallejo! No longer have to cross the bridge for my Asian groceries and goodies. What used to previously house an In-Shape has become pretty much my go-to grocery store for Asian veggies, hot pot essentials, instant ramen, and some of my favorite snacks! Love coming here in the morning to grab fresh dim sum for breakfast, and they have a decent selection of hot Chinese food if you're looking to pick up something for lunch time (their portions are absolutely ridiculous! be prepared to make two or three meals out of one combo plate!). I've come here on multiple occasions and I have to say that it's been a great experience each time. The employees are friendly and helpful. And the store in general is always nice and clean. The produce section isn't the biggest, but a lot of the essential Asian veggies are available. Good ramen and snack selection. And the fresh/frozen meat and seafood area houses a lot to choose from! Prices are decent and comparable to other grocery stores like H Mart or 99 Ranch. Sometimes they have really good deals, so highly recommend looking at their weekly deals! Or just peruse the aisles and see what you can find. I bought a giant bag of sesame cracker snacks for $0.99! Amazing! Will definitely continue to make my weekly trips to 168 Market. Highly suggest checking them out if you haven't yet. You won't be disappointed!
I don't know why it's taken me such a long time to check out 168 which is one of the newest Asian markets in Vallejo. They have all of your hot pot and kbbq needs. Located at the old Gold's Gym and there is plenty of parking, located at the same plaza as the neighborhood Wal mart. My family likes to come here to get combo meals because they are huge portions! From chow fun noodles, fried rice, chicken, eggplant, vegetables, dim sum to go, and sesame balls! All of our favorites, service is quick and all of the workers are nice and friendly!
