Bay City Seafood Supermarket

Hands down the nicest Asian /​Seafood Market I’ve ever been to. Doesn’t smell like a bait shack, it’s super clean and new inside, need I say more? OK I will! Their selection is off the charts, fully stocked butcher, seafood section, and groceries. They’ll even fry your seafood for you if you ask. And now… the best thing… they have the BEST sweet Longanisa sausage you will ever have in your life. Get some from the butcher if you ever go there. You’ll thank me later, it’s the best thing you can ever bring to a BBQ. Everyone will ask you where you got this stuff, it is amazing.
I love Bay City Supermarket. It rocks. Oh and they have homemade Thai desserts, made right in front of you. Go now, go go go!

They have this really cute food area. A lot of room for people to eat, nice and clean with good food variety that’s good priced. Much improvement since last market. Nice place for Asian foods and goods. A lot of fung shui stuff.

The new Thai market. There’s a main grocery market with individual sides merchants. They have fast food, to-​go type Thai food on the far right corner with a stand next to it named House of Roselle that has delicious coconut cakes
They have the best dried squid/​cuttlefish brand, called Squidy. Comes in a large can. Really crispy and good. I’ve been looking for this brand for years. It’s $ 9/​can.
When you walk in, they have these sweet little coconut taco-​looking chips. 10 pieces for $ 5.
They also have Filipino food items so you don’t have to make trips to two different markets

Bought a reasonable block of Beef Eye Round (5 – 6 lbs.) and requested the butcher (he looked like a Chinese or Korean) to slice it about 2 cm thickness to make the whole block like a flat. He just said ok, ok. It turned out wrongly as he sliced like a half inch thickness, and some with holes. Told him, it’s for beef morcon (or roulade).
Never trust this guy when he nod to you and say okay. I guess Bay City should look for a genuine butcher, not like that (idiot) crap.
Now, i don’t think i can make the morcon anymore. Total waste!

Hello, neighbor!
Bay City Supermarket, replacing Uni-​Mart & Sea Palace before that, has made shopping for groceries more aesthetically pleasing with a makeover. Same layout, but with a touch up for a greater consumer experience. It’s a fusion of Thai/​Filipino/​Asian-​inspired marketplace, with a few welcome surprises.
On the right, a Thai dessert vendor sells freshly made goodies. Unfortunately, they were unavailable during my visit as they were attending a special event that particular day. I so wanted to try the Thai «taco».
Next to that, various Thai foodstuffs and household items are sold, including statues & clothing.
A Thai food court sells readymade hot food. One entrée is $ 4.95, two for $ 5.95 etc. Dishes include various curries, fried fish & noodles. A nice-​looking dining area with wooden tables & plush carpeting is there to welcome hungry diners
Next to the dining area, tropical plants & trees are for sale. My eyes spied longan, kaffir lime, soursop, amongst others.
Fresh seafood, including live tilapia & catfish, are displayed colorfully in the rear left of Bay City. Free cleaning, steaming & frying from the fish butchers, if desired.
Whether you’re looking for meat, packaged goods or produce, Bay City has everything covered.
On the left of the entrance, Lotto, various health products & a Kangen water vendor are at the ready. The Kangen vendor pitched me a $ 25 monthly membership, which entails up to 2 gallons of alkaline water a day & various upcoming store specials & freebies
Color me impressed, Bay City Supermarket! You’ve come a long way from your predecessors. I enjoyed the vibrance of the store & the Thai food court & dessert vendor will have me coming back for a snack or something more substantial. Looks like my frequent trips to Luisa & Sons will include a visit to Bay City Supermarket.
Highly recommend!

Bay City Seafood in Artesia is a nice non-​chain Asian supermarket. Most of their prices are cheaper than 99 Ranch, but not everything. This supermarket is not far from the I-​605 freeway and there are plenty of spaces in this plaza’s parking lot.
This store has plenty of room inside & in-​between their aisles, and they contain items that a typical 99 Ranch will have. They do accept credit cards, except for American Express. If you ever are looking for a supermarket on Thanksgiving day, they are always open but they do closed earlier at 6pm.
Whenever I’m visiting my sister in Cerritos, my dad will always make a stop at Bay City Seafood Supermarket to purchase food to cook for my sister’s family, and he will purchase extra items to bring back home since their prices are cheaper than any other Asian supermarket in the Bay Area.

cool thai market its like banana bay and coconut bay the inside of the market they have a good food court you can get lunch at they have 1,2,3 item combos for you to pick from nice clean market will go back again for their lunch item to check out their fish department their thai pancakes are really good market is clean nice and fresh come check them out

My dad originally told me about Bay City, and he told me how I had to check it out because it was same owner from Coconut Bay in Rowland. He said the meats and produce were comparable if not cheaper than the Vietnamese chains, which is usually so far from me. I had to come check it out for myself and show support because I’ve been needing to find an affordable grocery store, and I’m really not into franchise stores, unless I really have to. This place is perfect for me since it’s right down the street. I love this place! I spoke with the owner and he has very big plans for the store in the next few months as they will be offering an even larger food court. I’m really looking forward to it!
The best asian ingredients and a cheaper price than 99 ranch market. I’m glad this came around as an alternative. It’s like a previous reviewer said, it’s as if 99 ranch market, Costco, LAX-​C, and Thai Dessert House had a baby. Not in those words exactly, but similar. If they have Kanom Klok (coconut rice pudding pancake?) I would be in heaven. I’m so excited I’m going after work just because it’s right next door to me.

I love shopping at Bay City because there is always available parking! If you shop at any ethnic grocery or ethnic supermarket, you know that parking is always an issue. It is a great relief to be able to park right away and close enough and not worry about your meat, fish and frozen products spoil in the scorching Southern California sun.
The new owner is Thai and there is a Thai Food To Go and Thai desserts. The Thai food is cooked and flavored authentically. My favorites are the fried catfish in red curry paste and golden curry chicken and panang beef.
Bay City also stocks ethnic food for Filipino Americans, Chinese, and other Asian nationalities. In fact, I was surprised to find Nestle 3 in 1 Coffee made in the Philippines (for the Filipino taste) that I could not even find in Filipino groceries or Filipino supermarkets. Previously, the only time I had this fine tasting coffee was when someone brings this kind of coffee from the Philippines!
They have the largest live seafood aquarium in the Artesia/​Cerritos area and some say even in Southern California! They can steam and fry seafood too!
Finally, they have employees from different Asian nationalities so that if you are looking for any particular popular cooking ingredient from any Asian country — you might just find it here at Bay City!

Nice new Asian grocery in Atresia/​cerritos. It’s like a 99 ranch market but with a more modern upscale look. It’s clean and has live seafood, fresh veggies, Filipino, American, Chinese, Korean, Thai, and even Mexican goods. There’s a little something for every culture.
When you walk in, on the right there’s a Thai dessert section where there are pastries being made fresh. I tried everything they were making and it was quite good to me. There were a lot of things they made that I’ve never tried and I’ve even been to Thailand and never saw those things when I was visiting.
On the left is a booth selling alkaline water and lotto. I never tried alkaline water but from what I’ve heard, it’s supposed to be good for you and have lots of health benefits.
There’s even a section to get keys made and garage openers programmed along with Chinese jewelry and some Filipino religious goods. Kinda random but I guess there’s a demand for it if they are carrying it there haha
The left corner of the store has the live seafood and meats, etc. They will fry your fish for you too.
In the right corner of the grocery there’s a Thai take out restaurant which was nice. It’s cheap too. A one item combo is only $ 4.95. I thought that was a good idea. I’ve never seen Thai take out like that before. It’s common to see Filipino take out like that but they came up with something original which is a good change from the same thing everyone else is doing. The food I ordered that day was a Thai beef with vegetables and they even had brown rice, which I usually choose prefer over white rice even when I prepare my own meals. I thought that also was something that was a nice change that differentiated them from other take out food spots.
The one thing that I think should be mentioned is that all the workers there are all super nice and friendly. They also have workers from a couple different cultures. I talked to some Chinese, Thai, Filipino, and Mexican workers while I was there. They each greeted me with a smile and were very accommodating. It seems like they are a very diverse grocery store and I felt welcome and comfortable shopping there. Most of the other Asian grocery stores have a majority of the workers that are one culture. The Thai ladies who were making the fresh desserts were even nice enough to let me try each of the things they were making as they were preparing them. They even threw in some extra desserts of the ones I bought which was even nicer.
I brought my mom with me tonight to show her the new grocery store and she said it was really nice and I asked her how their prices were compared to island pacific, seafood city, and 99 ranch market. Since she’s used to shopping at those kind of grocery stores, and I’m not, she said their prices are really good. It’s even cheaper then those places. So that’s a good pretty good sign. I’m sure there are items that may cost the same or a little more than others, but at least for the most part, the things we bought we cheaper.
If you live in the area or are just passing through, it’s worth stopping by to take a look and get some grocery shopping done or get some Thai take out or fresh Thai pastries.

I saw a new seafood market in the area and tried to find it using the directions on the Unilocal map, but it’s wrong! The map says that it is on Norwalk/​South St, but it’s actually in the plaza where UNI market used to be. Also the same plaza as Milk & Honey and Canaan. On the way there, I saw that UNI market moved to a much smaller store near Pepboys.
I really like what they did with the interior. It doesn’t smell, and it looks much cleaner and organized. Well, they don’t seem to be completely stocked yet either. I bought some HUGE oysters for $ 0.89 each, some prawn crackers and shrimp chips for only $ 1.00, and beef short ribs normally $ 5.99 for only $ 3.99 right now.
They have a snack section in the front with various crackers, squids, dried pork, and fruits. Another section with some hot foods. I didn’t get to explore too much, because I had already purchased the oysters and wanted to get them home asap.
I’m happy they moved into Cerritos. The only thing I thought they could improve on is their sign. I like their huge, pretty dome sign facing the street, but once you turn into the plaza, you’ll see that their actual sign for the store is just blue and boring, haha.

If you were to merge 99 Ranch’s seafood market, Lax-​C Thai Costco-​type wholesale warehouse, a Thai fast food bar, and Bhan Kanom Thai in Hollywood, this is what you would get.
I am absolutely thrilled for this option to get my Thai dessert fix instead of having to go all the way to Hollywood. They even have an in-​house dessert lady that makes fresh Thai taco desserts on the spot. Just like at Bhan Kanom Thai (BKT). Best of all the prices here are generally lower than BKT. Their selection of desserts is just as wide if not wider.
I went to check out their fresh seafood bar. It was so clean!!! It did not have a seafood smell at all. And I’m super picky about these things. You can also select your seafood of choice and they have a convenient deep-​fryer service as well so you don’t have to stink up your house frying it at home.
The hot food bar is pretty decent. Nice authentic flavors, not too spicy and the guy gives generous portions. I would come back. And they are anticipating opening more vendors at hot food bar.
There’s also a section for general Asian groceries (dry goods, packaged specialty items, a frozen section) and produce that seems pretty fresh. I have yet to buy the groceries though. But, I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to do so.
I think they’ve only been open for a few months now. So overall, I’m stoked that I found this new place on the weekend and wanted to share it with y’all. Enjoy!

Finally a Thai based super market in the Cerritos area.
Super clean and really nicely remodeled.
The awesome thing about the place is the fresh made Thai desserts at the stand on your right as you walk in the door. Samples available too.
The take out Thai fast food place leaves something to be desired though. Not that great. I grew up eating and cooking Thai food being that I’m half Thai, so their Americanized version of «Thai» food doesn’t cut it for me. Not bad if you’re hungry and in a rush, but doesn’t look visually appealing and the flavor is meh.
They just opened not too long ago, so get yourself down to Bay City and check it out. One of the nicer looking Asian grocery stores around.

Was not totally impressed. I can almost get the same things at 99 Ranch Market for same price

New business replaces two previous Asian groceries that once occupied this spot.
Still not quite open the day I came (- meaning no fresh produce or seafood/​fish in the tanks and ice display yet).
They were in the process of stocking shelves, putting in last minute finishes to an Island (palm leaf fronds on bamboo slats) style marketplace. Fish tanks look so much bigger and the entire future seafood area looks well-​lit and new.
I found what I needed today: dark soy sauce and Sinigang (Filipino style Tamarind sour soup) mix.
Bonus: employees from the previous two businesses have stayed on, I take that as a good sign. I like that the cashiers, stockers, and fish mongers still recognize their loyal customers.
A standard Asian (meaning a plethora of products that cater to various ethnic cuisine: Taiwanese, Thai, Filipino, Chinese, Korean, Indonesian, Vietnamese, etc, etc.) Also local flavor of Portuguese and Mexican goods.
I really need to see my seafood alive or at least looking fresh on ice rather than defrosted or still have ice crystals. I cannot wait to get that from here.
