Noelle's Yelp Notebook 2024 Post Pandemic Chronicles Marina Food is located in Cupertino not far from Apple Park, Donut Wheel and One Infinite Loop. I've never been to this grocery store before. While it's a Chinese grocery store you will find American brands like Clover Milk, Kraft. They also have Korean, Filipino, Japanese snacks and food items. Their snack section is mind blowing as there seems to be a limitless selection and this also applies to their candy and tea section as well. Upon entering the store one will find the latest and greatest Chinese candies, cakes and other snacks. I feel weak and want to buy it all, definitely my kryptonite. They have a large live seafood section with fish and shellfish. Their produce section is large where you will find an excellent selection of Asian fruits and vegetables which you'd be hard pressed to find in your local American grocery store. I love their tea and Chinese medicine aisle so many great selections. I picked up Chinese cough syrup which helps with my allergies. I also picked up some dried passion fruit that I plan on adding to my hot tea. Noteworthy areas - hot food sections, noodles, duck, dim sum for purchase and an area to eat as well. You'll just have to park your grocery cart outside the area. SHENG KEE - OMG, I love Sheng Kee because my parents would take my brother and I there growing up to the different locations across the SF Bay Area. Just as delicious as their other locations. Prices are good. Customer service from the employees stocking the shelves to the checkers are excellent as they are all friendly and helpful. A good spot for your Asian grocery shopping needs! Noelle's Notes Parking lot is crazy - carts and drivers speeding in and out, be careful. Great selection of Asian grocery items. Fair prices and great customer service!

These days Marina Food in Cupertino is the best place for Asian groceries. They usually have the best prices, and the inventory is on the fresher side as they get a lot of business. This is a good second stop when you happen to be at the nearby Target. Lots of great snacks and drinks for reasonable prices - the Ito En bottled teas are often 3 for $5, and great prices for shrimp chips, french cookies, fish snacks, loacker quadratinis, etc. Parking lot is big and feels the least crowded compared to other places. Glad they got rid of the space devoted to pottery and random non-food item that used to be there many years ago.

This review is solely for the hot food section. Everytime we get food there, breakfast or rice plate, the food is always spot on. As for the service, I would say you might have a better experience if you can speak Mandarin, but I think as long as you know exactly what you want and tell that to the ladies there, you should have a pretty good experience. I don't speak a word of Mandarin but I learned to pronounce fan tuan just so I could go buy them. Their fan tuan is fire!! I just love the sticky rice texture and how well it goes with the filling.
