Marina Food Market - Asian grocery store in San Mateo - 2992 S Norfolk St, USA

Chinese grocery store that offers a wide selection of vegetables, live and packaged seafood, meats, hot cooked foods, canned goods, and household items. Dated and dark interior, but overall good value. Parking lot can be difficult to maneuver, as parking spots are small and weekend crowds makes driving a challenge.

I went into a Marina Market. I bought some spicy noodles that was priced with 7.99. When I went to the register, they rang up as a 8.99 I went and took a picture of the shelf, brought it back to the cashier. She spoke with a supervisor, the supervisor told me she was not going to honor the price. The supervisor, Leslie refused to give me the corporate number and stopped talking to me , turned off her light to her register and walked away. Very unprofessional.

Good for Asian food. But be aware of the expiration date of the products. It is not a nice place to shop because it is not very clean and does not smell so good. Must be because it has an aquarium with fish, lobsters, shrimps, live crabs. Looking like that does not make you want to eat, the aquariums are too dirty. There are other better places to buy fish.

Super cute store with really helpful and nice staff. I was thrilled that they sell frozen durian, but it was unfortunately $65 for just one! They have scrumptious soy milk though, highly recommend!

If you can't find certain Asian cooking ingredients in the regular big chain groceries near you then come here. I was looking for gyōza sauce and could not find it anywhere until I went here. They offer Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Mexican, Italian, Filipino, Thai, Indonesian, Indian, and more cuisine selections.

Glad to see they carry Uji Time ice cream back here in this location. With the new packaging, it is even more appealing to try their Asian inspired flavors

My gramps lived in HK for years. He used to bring me here to get his comfort foods when he finally came back to the states. He was pretty fluent in Cantonese, so-so in Mandarin and the clerks here got a kick hearing this tall white dude start up convos with them. I still shop here and get all the stuff he taught me about and try new stuff too. Coming here is like connecting with him again.

The supermarket is quite complete. They won't let you put the groceries to your own bag. You have to put all the items to the cart and bring it outside then you can fill it to your bag. If you buy the bag, still you have to put it by yourself.
