Hien's Market: Reviews & Ratings
It's a nice market, a little expensive but still nice if you need groceries, but can't get all the way to a Safeway or Lucky. It's family owned and they always welcome you in with a smile. Their food selection is pretty eclectic. All in all thumbs up for this store.
Excellent customer service, diverse variety of items if you need anything quick and close by. They will do the best to serve you! Love this place!
This place has EVERYTHING you could need! By far the best corner store in Oakland. I keep being amazed at how much they stock making it unnecessary to go to Safeway, Wholefoods, Smart & Final. Check out there Craft Beer selection, massive ice cream selection, a large variety of juices and drinks to get as well as all your home shopping needs. Not only do they have something you are looking for, but you can choose from a SELECTION of it. The owners are also super nice and friendly. This place keeps surprising me!
Oakland corner store that stocks the usual goods--snack food, toiletries, beer--as well as some odd tchotchkes, like porcelain cacti (can't live without it!) Reasonably priced, nice owners, not nearly as sketchy as the store down the block on 14th & Harrison. Has respectable selection of fancier beers as well as your usual drunkard's fare like King Cobra and Four Loko. 6-pack of Sierra Nevada goes for $8.49 plus tax. One drawback is that it's not open very late, usually closing by 8. The block is still kind of sketchy at night, so I can't really blame Mr. Hien for not wanting to be there at that hour.
