What People Are Saying About Golden Pacific Market
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – A stroll up the aisles of this Edgewater Asian mart is an exploration in Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Vietnamese and Thai staples. Snap utong beans, Squid brand fish sauce and fragrant jasmine rice sold in 25- and 50-pound bags, dried salted fish, along with numerous curry sauces keep ethnic food lovers coming back. Unlike some Argyle grocers, this store keeps its produce fresh and dry goods neatly displayed.
Nice place, bad business ethic
by atmmyers
Nice place, and not nearly as crowded as the places on Argyle. I have been coming here weekly (at least) for about two years...
BUT...........
Today they just lost my business for good!
On a whim, I stopped in for some snack food and picked up a bag of veggie chips (Aji "Fabulous"). Every bag on the shelf was marked $1.95. The register scanned at $2.49. I confronted the cashier (a young girl, not the usual guy who always checks me out), and asked me to pay first, signaling that she'd get the manager. While I waited, the manager discussed it with the cashier, went back to the shelf for a while, looked at the bags some more, scratched the price tags with her fingernail, scanned the item again, looked at me and said confidently "it's $2.49" I explained that they have to charge what it is marked... wheat they ALL are marked. She just stated that the price tag is wrong, it's $2.49. And proceeded to just stare at me. I looked around for my usual cashier (who has always been very helpful - including finding specific items many times over), but he was not around. Finally, the manager asked "You don't want?". I just took it anyway, figuring that it is "only $.50" -- but what really upsets me is the principle of the thing, and the sad part is that if this part is that for a mere $.50, any business should not hesitate to fix things for the customer. Not here -- I am completely appalled and offended that this woman basically made me feel like I was wrong!
Sorry, you lost my business -- from now on I wait in line on Argyle.
- Pros: convenient, easy shopping
- Cons: bad manager
Great selection, prices and customer service

This is the first review I've ever written but I just had to because the service and selection was incredible. So friendly and helpful. I would recommend Golden Pacific Market to anyone!
Golden Pacific won me over!

SUPER CLEAN, affordable, and excellent service. It is a great market for your basics in Oriental cooking. I have been shopping at local markets for many years, and this is one of the best. They have a great selection of everything. I especially like the various sauces, noodles, imported drinks, and fresh produce (baby bokchoy and chinese broccoli!! YUM!). This is also the perfect place to introduce a friend to Oriental cooking without worrying about them being turned off by strong odors or cluttered aisles. The employees are very helpful. If you are a loyal customer, they give you new products to try for free. Check it out, it's fantastic!
- Pros: Clean, Well stocked, Inexpensive
- Cons: There's only one?
