Mekong Supermarket (formerly Sunrise Supermarket)

Just visited this market for the first time since we were on search of kefir lime! This market is small but has all the basics of Vietnamese and Thai cuisine. There is a bit of a raw fish smell when you enter the produce section, but not in other parts of the store. I’ll come back again for sure.

Mekong Supermarket is not very big. Right in front of the store there are Tesla chargers, and I think there might be some EV charging spots as well, which is really convenient if you come here with an electric car. Inside, it has a decent selection of items. I didn’t notice that usual strong fishy smell you sometimes get in Vietnamese markets from seafood or raw meat, so it felt fairly clean and well maintained. Seafood and meats looked fresh, but prices are higher compared to other Asian markets. The produce section looked fresh as well, just on the expensive side. There is a small prepared food section in the front for quick takeout. Even with the higher prices, it’s still a convenient place to shop. Not too big, easy to get in and out, and you can find most basic things you need.

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

Excellent service at the meat counter today! The butcher was incredibly kind and helpful, even though it was about 30 minutes before closing. He took the time to cut two bone stocks for me and made sure everything was perfect. Really appreciate the kindness and help. I highly recommend this supermarket.

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.
