Over $4,000 loss from my account due to credit card skimming. I was told there is an active investigation on store and management. Management has knowledge and getting payouts for allowing skimmers. They send the info to new york and new jersey to wipe out funds from your account. It happened to me, you have been warned.

I'm not their biggest fan or anything, but I'm surprised that Lion Supermarket has such a low rating. Certainly, it's not nearly as trendy or amazing as the likes of H Mart and I'm not even sure that this isn't their worst location. Yet, every time I've been here, it always seems like there's a steady stream of folks coming here to shop, so it can't be all bad, right? Unless, of course, coming here is more like a necessary evil... Given how this particular Lion Supermarket is within Lion Plaza, its location is both good and bad. Good in the sense that the parking lot here is huge, so finding a space is never a problem. Bad in that the complex sits at one of the busiest intersections in the Bay Area, which means it's practically inevitable that you're going to get stuck in a slow crawl getting to/from the freeway and the 101 side of Tully. Thankfully, there are a bunch of other businesses and eateries nearby to make all of that traffic worth it! Walking through the store, nearly everything about the place feels a bit worn and dated - the aisles aren't exactly dirty, but they're far from clean, there's a musty-ish smell at times, and the refrigerated/freezer units are showing their age. That being said, the prices here are super reasonable. Cases of my favorite instant noodles go for quite a few bucks less than at the 99 Ranch in Daly City and they have a better selection of Asian sauces to choose from (like abalone sauce, if you want to get hyper specific). However, based on my cursory perusing of their seafood and raw meats, I'm not sure those are as good of a value. Less so with regards to price (seems cheaper than, or on par with, my usual spots) and more so with regards to quality. In particular, some of the chicken and pork didn't look all that fresh. Since Lion Supermarket isn't even remotely close to where I live, everything I've bought here has either been sauces, instant noodles, or random pantry items, so I've never had a problem with any of my purchases. However, I can certainly understand the issues others have encountered with some of their meats, seafood, or produce (and even the frozen foods, it seems). With that in mind, I'd probably be a bit more selective when it comes to those things, but there's no questioning that there are tons of items you can get here that you're not going to find at the likes of Safeway or Whole Foods. Which just might be the reason why they're a necessary evil in some cases, but at least the prices are cheap.

This place is pretty much just as echoey as it is in a Whole Foods market. vegetables are fine. I saw lots and lots of empty shelves, and isles. The time I went there there was only one green onion in the green onion section. We found leeks there and they were OK. They were extremely small compared to those Marina Food or 99 Ranch Market. We we got some seafood there and everything went pretty quickly. everybody there is pretty nice. services pretty much the average that I get at any Asian market which is usually just saying hi and getting my items scanned then they tell me my total and I get my card then then I scan it and then it's removed. interesting fact: this lion market location was the first to open and open in 1982. it's quite dirty in there as you'd expect, but honestly, I didn't have a terrible experience there. Isles are very narrow, and also there's a very weird bar next to the checkout aisle, which is often times. Annoying! If you are an older person, no offense, but you probably would not be able to fit through if you are really big. that's the truth. No offense. lol there's a lottery machine but it didn't work the day when we came. also, I noticed that ever since 2022. It seems like lion supermarket use a different cash register from the ones they used to use. It sounds different. why? Lion market if you read this review, can you please let me know? I am very curious. also beware the reason I bring this topic up is cause I'm a musician and I have special ears and I just noticed this and I'm just very curious. i'm just saying, but this place along with all the lions supermarkets could use a great remodeling so that everything looks like brand new. this way they could attract more customers to come. also, if I didn't already mention, Isles are very very narrow. So beware if you're a claustrophobic person.

So I picked some frozen items. The cashier looked at it that it wasn't fresh and told me to go get a fresh one. She threw the ones I picked away,! That's awesome and they got my loyalty for that act of kindness

Great selection of ethnic groceries, this Lion is slightly stocking differently than the one on Saratoga, closer to Capitol Expressway. Different just like how the 4 costcos in San Jose differ!

Pretty old and dirty asian supermarket. Nothing caught my eyes nor my wallet. Unless you know exactly what you need, don't bother

Staff are terrible. They were stocking up items but they leave their boxes and carts in the middle of the isle so you can't get through. It's like you're going through and obstacle course. Things aren't cheap either. When we go to checkout, the lady asks if we want a bag. I said no. Then she starts laughing and said, "too bad I already charged you". Well why did you ask in the first place? Never coming to shop here again.

The products here are fine but the staff are horrible. I was checking out with a cart, but after paying the staff won't let me use the cart again to go to my car, because the guy behind me had a lot more stuff so he need the cart and since I only had about 4 things so I don't need the cart. I refused it at first but then when I was trying to put stuff in the cart another lady came and grabbed the cart from me saying the guy needed it more. The guy behind me kept quiet the whole time.
