99 Ranch Market Santa Anita

Nestled within the lower level of the Santa Anita mall, this location represents a significant departure from the traditional warehouse-style Asian supermarket. The store is designed with a modern, “city-style” aesthetic that prioritizes high-quality visuals and a curated shopping experience over raw inventory volume. While it occupies a more compact footprint than its neighboring Golden West Avenue counterpart, it successfully leverages its mall-adjacent location to attract a diverse crowd of foodies and casual shoppers looking for an elevated atmosphere.

The interior is noted for its exceptional cleanliness and specialized departments, particularly a seafood section where the water tanks are kept in pristine condition. Shoppers often highlight the market as a premier spot for high-end items like wagyu beef and a massive variety of imported Asian sweets and beverages that are difficult to find elsewhere. Despite its smaller size, the market includes a robust hot food counter and a sophisticated bakery, making it a favorite for those seeking quick, authentic meals or specialized gifts. Its strategic placement within a major shopping center makes it a vital cultural bridge, offering an approachable yet authentic gateway to Asian culinary traditions in a polished, suburban setting.
