Super King Market

by Cecilia J.

FOODIE ALERT!!!!!!  You need to shop at this market. They are mainly a large Middle-Eastern Grocery store, but they do have American and some Latino and Asian products too. The fruits and vegetables in this place are incredibly cheap, and best of all, they are of good quality. I don't know how they keep their prices so low. The meat and seafood section are also full of good deals, and they have a nice selection of marinated kabob meats. While you are there, pass by the their little section for nuts. They have a large variety of nuts for any of your recipes. I highly suggest the Anaheim Nuts mix for as a snack for your next party. This store also has an aisle full of hookahs to purchase, if you are interested in that, and some Middle-Eastern cooking utensils.

This is my first experience with a grocery store that seems to market to a middle eastern crowd. I saw a variety of products with 4-6 languages on the label and none of them were English. I think this is a good thing. The Produce is amazing. Think fresh and tasty. Now that I have said that - think so cheap that you can't believe it. I think they had 7 lemons for a $1. They had pineapples for $1.50 each. They had 5 bunches of green onions for a dollar. Chili peppers for $0.50 a lb. Some of the produce was so cheap I felt suspect. But, I brought a bunch home and it seems generally delicious. They don't seem to have any alcohol that I could find. They have a fantastic meat section and some nice seafood. Basically figure anything that they can get fresh they have an amazing price on. If its a typically name brand American product - its not cheap here. Think - fresh produce, fish, meat, milk, and eggs here. Think somewhere else for your beer, cereal, tomato sauce, etc. They have a huge variety of mixed nuts. They had more different kinds of tahini than I have ever seen. They have an amazing variety of olives, olive oil, and olive related products. Think 20 different kinds of red pepper paste. So, in conclusion - this should be a location on your mind for fresh produce but I definitely would not consider this for a one stop grocery store.

The produce is cheaper than Asian markets, thus all my family members go here and come out with large bags of varous fresh fruits and veggies.I've only gone here for produce though, the meats don't look too great to me and neither does anything else except for their freshly made Pita rounds that are located in their small bakery area. Only thing is, people come in droves and it's really packed inside ESPECIALLY on a Sunday. So when you're inside, you have to be aggressive with your cart! :P People will stand in your way, and they don't give a damn about moving aside for you. Charge!Parking is also pretty bad, even though the lot is HUGE.But I will sacrifice all that for cheap fresh fruit and veggies.Also, people tend to stand in line for the closest checkout registers thus even hindering people more because of the long lines and crowding.PEOPLE- JUST WALK TO THE END FOR MORE CASH REGISTERS! Wow! Who'da thunk?Anyway, come here! It'll be exciting. Or wait, don't come here, I might run you over with my cart trying to get to my tomatoes :P

Super King and rightfully so.With grocery markets like Super King, I still wonder why people still flock to grocery market chain stores and bother with 'rewards programs' and the mini-key chain cards they give you. Your Highest Majesty of super markets in Southern California, Super King will have none of that nonsense!Price points within the Super King's kingdom are only comparable to those of (Insert Grocery Chain Name Here.)'s rewards program deals. And only those deals. You thought you had it made with 2 gallons of milk for $5 at Vons because you're rewards program member? $5 at Super King can get you 5 gallons of milk, and you don't even need to be a member of a program. Okay, I may be exaggerating a little but...you get the point. More realistically, an example of the deals you get along the lines of produce would be like this:(Insert a quantity more than 1) for 79 cents/99 cents/1.99.Best of all, it's not too good to be true. It's too good and too true! Produce and meat is fresh and the grocery boasts a big selection in cheese, dried fruits and nuts, spices and Mediterranean food. All hail Super King!this is my first review :-)i finally made it here after reading the reviews on yelp about a month ago. i had been wanting to go on a weekday to avoid the crowds that everyone mentions, so i went on a friday around 1:30. after seeing how busy it was at that time, i cant even imagine what this place must be like on the weekend!  i have patience for that sort of thing when i know i'm getting a really good deal; so it was worth the minor frustrations of grocery cart collisions and impassible aisles.i try not to eat much packaged food, so i really just came for the meat and produce. i got  filet mignon and carne asada each for $3.99lb. the produce prices were great (i cringe every time i have to pay close to a dollar for a last minute onion or lemon at ralphs!) i was hoping for better prices on seafood, since i have yet to find any place with consistently low seafood prices (relative to what i'm used to paying in florida). all-in-all, i spent $40 and came out with probably a week's worth of food for 1-2 people. oh, and even though it was pretty crowded, i only waited in the check-out line for a couple of minutes. its a bit far from me to go on a regular basis, but i'll definitely come by again any time i'm in the area!I have found my discount market nirvana.  They carry almost everything I cook with and need (and want), at excellent prices.I know this is a great market if I am still stoked on the place after shopping here during "rush hour".  I came on a Friday evening.  Yes, I know it's not the most ideal time to shop but I work 9-5, M-F so that's the only time I have free.  Anyways, it was crowded!  And people are in your way in almost every aisle!  You just have to get "old country" style and push your way through while saying "excuse me".  Once you get used to it (it took me about 1 minute), you realize what a fabulous place this is.Three types of eggplant!  Round watermelons for 1.99; 3 lbs of white squash for 99 cents.....I could go on and on about the great deals I got on the fresh produce; I basically went through and picked out whatever I wanted and didn't have to worry about the total; The prices were that cheap!  The selection was wonderful and most of the stuff was quite fresh.The bread section was better than any discount place I've seen; Fresh loafs of various ryes, whites and flatbreads.  Fresh pita from a local bakery....in fact, I think all of their breads were from local bakeries.Laughing cow cheese, danish blue cheese, greek feta and olives all priced VERY low.  Way cheaper than Trader Joe's.  I bought 4 kinds of cheese that night.Organic wheat pasta and pasta imported from Italy....on sale for 89 cents a pound (a pack).A nice variety of arabic foods, including many varieties of kefirs and yogurts.  Couscous and other grains in a variety of brands and sizes.  And halal meats of course.I didn't get any meat here this time, but I'm going to try it next week.  I filled up my cart and my total was under $45.  Pretty remarkable considering all the fine cheeses, breads, olives, vegetables and pastas in there!This place is more than a grocery store - it's a shopping experience! This was the second stop on my Afternoon Ghetto Anaheim Food Tour. I wish I had followed advice of other Yelpers and had a Xanax handy - and this was on a Wednesday. Parking wasn't too bad, so I can only guess this means it was a pretty calm day in the alternate universe of Super King. I grabbed a cart, my shopping list, and my courage and headed inside.  The only thing I still had 90 seconds later was my cart. The courage had dissolved the second I walked inside, and my lovingly constructed shopping list disappeared somewhere around the time I was bagging up a 33 cent grapefruit as big as my head. It was madness inside - especially in the produce section - but what can you really expect when green onions are 12 bunches for $1?!?? I have never seen produce prices so low. I've also never had such a difficult time getting my produce, though...so there ya go. There were some interesting flatbreads, super fresh pitas, mysteriously cheap ($1.99 on sale!) Lofthouse sugar cookies, and great prices on dried fruit. Yum. I'm a supernaive, superwhite girl, and I probably would have liked my experience more if I had a clue what half the stuff was. Also, it is dirty, and people WILL shove you out of the way to get at the peaches. I highly recommend grabbing a small basket (do they have these? I hope so) so you don't have to deal with maneuvering a cart around. Good luck!!

*Bows down*Great prices.  Middle Eastern, Indian spices. "Bulk" nuts (gotta ask the attendant).  Halal meats.  Totally random and culturally diverse people.  Yayness!!  I came here while broke, and came out with more charges on my CC.  I didn't care -- the food they have here -- awesome!   I'm a big foodie, and the appeal on the shelves really drew me in.  I started brainstorming some ideas of what and which to use in my baking and cooking, and practically *drooled* -- hell, I even took a good 15 minutes just walking down ONE aisle admiring the goodies...Oh, they got some pretty good prices for Hookahs and everything you'd need to set it up.   I didn't get one,.. hey here I'm trying to stay afloat... but next time I'm nearby, I'll be sure to stop in!The cons: * It is SUPER crowded. -- maybe it's just the weekend too, but  I don't know what's up with the Food4Less set up in the entrance.  It's not that BIG enought to have that kind of entrance... so there was several carts-backed up.   * As everyone had already mentioned, parking is an headache.  It's weird, they got arrows going the wrong ways painted on the lots.  And it's dirty -- with litter flying around.   I commented on it, my husband, an Arab himself, said "it's because we're dirty..."    Yeah, yeah... wait.   Anyhow.It's totally worth the trip and the prices.I wish San Diego offered a big supermarket like this.  Sure, there's Ranch 99 and places like that -- but where's the big Middle Eastern shops?

I love Super King!! I came across this place 2 years ago and I am super satisfied with the quality of their produce! And not to mention..the prices are a killer!!! I have never been to a store and had a cart full of veggies and fruits and only spend 19.00!!! wow! Their meat department smells a little foul, but other than that I highly recommend this place! Just an fyi, it can get packed especially times right after work! Just bare with the traffic and you'll be good to go!!!

There is a good selection of produce here but the customers are less than desirable. This store is always crowded. I was going to buy some trail mix nuts they have out for you to scoop. There was a sign to inform people to not touch it with their hands. It's just not sanitary. But, almost every other person who walked by was touching it and eating it. They didn't use the metal scoops. I understand they were sampling it, but why stick your unwashed hands in somebody's food. That's rude and disgusting! If you go there, look in the weekly ad. There are usually at least 1 or 2 good deals.

Super cheap EVERYTHING including $2/lb for FETA CHEESE!!!! Fresh too. Not even remotely stinky but full of flavour and an amazing balance of salt.Fabulous tomatoes and the freshest produce around. I cannot rave about this place enough.Produce, breads, pastries, meats, cheeses, canned anything at all, almonds, candies, very authentic everything else.Thumbs way up from my stomach and especially from my wallet.SHUKRAN SUPER KING!!!!

Yelpers weren't wrong when they gave this place a solid 5-star rating. The place is not only huge, but the whole atmosphere in there is almost like they were giving away the shit for free. From the minute you grab your cart (there are a bunch of stuff outside too before you even enter) and where people are gathered outside trying to choose a watermelon (which I got by the way) and the strawberries and figs (which I ALSO got) to the myriad of other fruits (yup, got those too) to the vegetables .... it's just AWESOME!Here's a run down of some of the items:10 limes for 99 cents2lbs peaches for 99 cents2lbs nectarines for 99 cents15 cents/lb for watermelons2lbs apricots for 99 centsI got limes, peaches, nectarines, watermelon, apricots, Roma tomatoes, cantaloupe, figs, strawberries and the grand total? $11.22!!!! I had 4 bags of groceries. It was just amazing!! Too bad the place is kinda far for us but man, if you live in the area this is THE place to go.They also stock a hell of a lot of Mexican produce and even in the meat section there is marinated Mexican style meats for carne asada, etc etc. They have an impressive halal meat section too.Totally fabulous .... except for the smelly meat section, but even THAT I can handle!
