I love this place. it is cheerful and almost friendly by Asian market standards. It is clean and well laid out with lots of variety

Great place to shop for raw fruits and vegies, young coconuts are fresh at $1.29. they have lots of interesting dried spices, seaweeds etc as well.

The parking lot is full of SUVs so this is where everyone comes from all around long beach. there is pleanty of street parking as well

Surprisingly clean and pleasant when you consider the neighborhood.

Well yeah...for someone who is not Asian, it's like a 10 minute vacation in another land.  I don't know too much about the litany of Asian products, but they are interesting to look at while I wait for my fish order.  This spot is located in my hood and when I want some fresh fish to toss on a hot grill,  I come here as opposed to a larger local market.  They are close and the fish are still alive, swimming around in the tank and glaring at you, emotionless, somehow knowing that their flesh will be between your teeth within a few hours.  It's like fishing without the long drive or the fishing rod.  Just like lobster, you can point out which fish you desire to devour and they pull it out and kill it for you.  

Fish murder for hire.  

They also gut and scale it for you.  There are some fish that are already dead and lying in ice, but otherwise intact.  They will behead and clean them for you as well.  There are about 4 to 5 fish killers behind the fish counter and though everyone around me is speaking Khmer, they are nice even though all I can do is point and shake my head, 'yes.'  All I have to do is rinse well, season and throw that huge ass tilapia on the Hibatchi,  grill some peppers and veggies and before I finish a chapter in a book, dinner is ready.  

A sure bet when you want to go fishing without leaving the neighborhood.

Kim Long Market is the only place to buy your japanese gummy candy and Pocky sticks.  They have an amazing assortment of Hello Panda and Hello Kitty creme-filled cookies.

I come here at least twice a month to restock on bags of powdered Vietnamese-style iced coffee mix that is now my new crack.  They also have an impressive selection of shrimp crackers even though most of the brands are American-made.

I love that the staff is still baffled by the sight of a Mexican roaming an Asian store.  At first I was offended, but now I just roll with it.

"Hey, you.  Get back to work!"
"I'm a client, I swear."

Kim Long is a Cambodian grocery store on Anaheim and Long Beach Blvd. Lots of locals shop here for Southeast Asian foods like curry sauces, vermacelli noodles or lotus roots!

They have a ready-to-eat food section that's pretty good. Though K H Market has a better selection. Good place to pop in when you're craving coconut juice!

This is better than Seng Heng Supermarket and KH Market. Fresh vegetable and a good variety of meat & fish. Of course the price is better than Albertson's, vons...

This store also  has a to-go Asian fast food.
