106 Reviews for Richmond New May Wah Supermarket
My fiance was in a trance as he watched a fish monger beat three fresh-live-tilapia's heads with a solid plank of wood.
Don't come here if you think watching your future meal die in front of your eyes is inhumane (seafood only).

May Wah is easily one of the best places in the neighborhood to get good fruits and vegetables for really cheap. They also have fresh meats and seafood available, but I've never tried any. The only thing I ever come here for is fruit. I'm not super fond of the place because of the overwhelming seafood smell that permeates the whole building though.

If you have not been living in a cave, you have noticed that food prices have taken a SKYROCKETING jump in the past year or so.
I can't imagine having to feed a family or a growing teenager (I remember how much my brother ate in his teens) today. I know wages haven't been increasing 20-30 percent in the past year, but food prices certainly seem to be.
My favorite chestnuts used to be $.99/bag. Now they're $1.39.
That would be a FORTY PERCENT increase now, wouldn't it?
Question for you all: Have you SEEN the price of eggs lately?
(Just the plain ol', run of the mill eggs. We're not talking fanschy schmancy 'grain fed' eggs or anything.)
$3.50 for 18 is the sale price at Lucky (Sloat Lucky, 4/24/08.)
$3.59 for a dozen is the the bargain deal at Safeway (Safeway.com, 4/24/08.)
Makes me shudder.
May Wah to the rescue!!!!!!
Sure, the crowds there on a weekend are HORRENDOUS.
Sure, it's hard to find a few things here and there.
Sure, parking sucks on the weekends
Sure, some of their produce isn't the best.
BUT MY BUDDHA, have you seen their prices?
The Bottom line:
1. Eggs were $1.89 a dozen today. That's 48% off from Safeway.
You're welcome.
2. Avoid it on the weekends if at all possible. Avoid driving down Clement Street (Between Arguello and Park Presidio), PERIOD, between the hours of 8AM on Saturday until 8PM on Sunday. Believe me. You'll likely avoid a possible accident. Or at the very least, a ticket for not stopping for jaywalking pedestrians from the COPS ON BIKES.
3. Parking is a pain. Yes. It's just one of those things. Prepare yourself. Bring plenty of quarters and patience, Daniel-san.
4. They now use paper bags (yaay.) But bring yourself a big canvas bag, if you can.
I have shopped here for years but t was finally drawn to writing this review when I realised that the cost of groceries is REALLY putting a dent on everyone's budget. I sound like a cranky old man now, don't I????

The traffic and parking around there sucks (the meters behind the Walgreens goes past 6pm) but anytime I only have $25 left to buy groceries, I come to May Wah. Besides all the variety of asian vegetables that I need when I want to whip up something for dinner, they also have great meats, chicken, and fish. I love to just walk around the store, up and down the aisle, trying to figure out what that sauce could be, or what rice I should buy. Oh, and they will even fry the fish for you!

Awesome place to go for produce and any unusual/hard to find Asian item. Do you like to make Thai food? Kaffir lime leaves are sold here! Thai Chilis, lemongrass, galangal, ginger, fish sauce, coconut milk, rice, rice noodles, wasabi... you name it, they probably have it. Do you like yams? They have them in red, yellow, or purple!
Fish. Meat. Veggies. Sake. Beer. Candy. Spices. Sea weed.
Good prices, too.
The parking is not great, but there is pretty high turnover of cars at the meters all day long, so it's not too terrible.

It's not as big as 99 Ranch, the produce selection is limited, aisles are tight and the lines are long. However, it earns five stars because it has the best selection of Japanese candy and snacks of any non-Japanese store in town - and at lower prices. Yes, the Pocky selection is admirable. They have quite a few of those Japanese boxes with miniature toys (like sushi, buns, ramen bowls). I love their candy aisle. They even had mini Mentos rolls. And they have an aisle of Korean snacks and Japanese food.
There isn't an in-store deli department, but you can get fresh chap chae and kimbab at the registers (they're okay - not as good as the ones from Korean markets). They have a meat and seafood department. The freezers contain a better than average selection of natto and Japanese ice cream confections. You'll also find Japanese mochi and roll cakes in the refrigerated section. For some reason they carry mainly sweetened soy milk (I'd like to see more unsweetened brands). They also get items from local Vietnamese and Chinese businesses like mochi, fresh rice noodles, red bean bread, etc.
Seeing their little shrine in the back of the store makes me smile. One of the non-Chinese employees gives me the creeps but I can't hold it against the store.

I made out like an absolute bandit at New May Wah. I bought enough food to last me a month for TWENTY DOLLARS.
Parking in the area is brain damaging, but that's no big surprise as the Inner Richmond is always packed.
Things are well-organized, everything is easy to find, the staff is very helpful and friendly, and they have all the Thai food ingredients I could ever dream of wanting.
They have a surprisingly large selection of items labeled VEGETARIAN and a good deal of things are (unintentionally, I think) VEGAN.
Their fresh food section of the store is really excellent - huge selection of fresh mushrooms, chilis, broccoli, kale, chard!
There's a whole aisle dedicated to rice and another whole aisle dedicated just to Japanese candy.
Contrary to what a couple of reviewers have said, the staff do speak English, most just as well as anyone else.
New May Wah, my new favorite place!
This used to be a go to place for me when I lived in the Richmond District and even for a while after I moved to Hercules.
I went today and was sorely disappointed by the quality of products offered as well as the prices.
For the same price and sometimes even less, I can go to Le Asia or Ranch 99 and not have to deal with the dirtiness and gridlock in the aisles. When comparing, the items in the produce section in Le Asia and Ranch 99 look fresh and appealing. The frozen items look like they've been defrosted and refrozen. Maybe low turn over in this area?

We generally go to this place for fish. They have a wonderful selection of fish and they will clean it and descale it for you. It seems like carry some of the most exotic fish - including frozen snake fish!
They have a wonderful variety of vegetables and fruits - like lychees. And wide selection of teas. :)
The only downer is that they really do not carry anything mediterranean like couscous.

I always shop at this store whenever I come into the City to visit my parents who live a couple blocks away.
This store can be crowded and smelly, especially by the meat/ fish department.
I'm glad that I understand Cantonese otherwise I don't think that any of the store staff would be able to help me find what I need if I didn't. There is one lady who stays at the front of the store to direct customers who understands some English.
This store always has everything that my parents and I need for Chinese cooking. Some of the fish has not been fresh but it's pretty apparent, so you know not to buy it.
The parking in this area sucks. The meter maids have stepped up patrols on the weekends. I even got a ticket parked in front of my parent's house. Beware the meter people, they are cracking down!!

clean. clean. has everything and anything you can think of basically. has a large selection of items and brands. however, I do miss the old May Wah that was a couple blocks down before. Prices are good here too!
Watch OUT! This market is an adventure in navigating and dodging shoppers. A giant market for Clement St., new May Wah is distinguishable by the giant red awning. Inside is a treasure trove of goods. Can easily spend a long time wandering the aisles, trying to decide which items would be good to buy. The items stocked in the aisles are easily discernible, bu the sheer choice can sometimes be staggering. Need a TOUR guide for this store?
BUT there is a great selection of candy and desserts. I FINALLY discovered Super Lemons here! Been in search of this very sour candy for many years. Jumped for joy, pissing off a few nearby shoppers, when I found Super Lemon and Cola. Promptly grabbed a few packages, and continued on my quest of gawking, shopping and dodging.
Next stop was the alcohol and beverage section. Promptly grabbing a few a bottle of Sapporo beer and a four pack of Guinness. Do not think that is sacrilege at the price you are getting.
After hitting the booze aisle, ventured of to the produce and butcher section of the store. Supermarket is divided into two areas. Packaged goods and the produce area. When you venture over here, have your wits about you. Full CONTACT shopping is the ticket. While you are trying to either pick out ox tail or pork shoulder, someone is stealing your order. Be quick and prompt. Picked up some tasty cuts of flank steak and salmon. I wonder if I can get the whole sturgeon to go alive?

This place is NOT a well-lighted, clean and pristine Andronicos, TJs, Whole Foods, or any number of streamlined chains out there. It is what it is...An.Asian.Supermarket (period). So don't expect it to be any of those things mentioned above.
What May Wah does deliver are the makings for a well-stocked pantry...asian pantry, that is. Great selection of tofu (including organic, and the House brand is excellent), veggies, meat, and swimming fish. You'll also find long aisles of noodles (fresh and dried) and condiments to suit any hankering for asian spices. Cookies, crackers, candies from mainly China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea and Japan rule here. And did I tell you about the drinks? All make and manner of asian refreshment can be found in cans, bottles and boxes.
This place is missing a star for two reasons. Be careful when buying produce and some not-so-popular packaged crackers. The former may not be fresh and the latter may have expired. They seem to be a tad slow in pulling off old merchandise.
And you may balk that there's little organic food to be found here; once again...this is an ASIAN market and it's just not the thing here. I tend not to buy chicken or beef or very many vegetables that can be found elsewhere in organic form. But there are some things you just have to get in an Asian market like soup bones, live fish, and House mapo tofu mix (love that stuff!)
So have fun here. You'll enjoy this cultural experience :)

I like the size and layout of this place.
Produce and dry goods on one side, and the other side--smells to the high heavens of fish, and other unknown dead items. Oh and produce over here too.
Prices = moderate. Not the cheapest but it's affordable.
Hardly anyone speaks English, and they do not give a crap either.
I hate parking around here though. It's impossible, especially with the traffic-stopping double-parking.

If you're hitting Richmond Chinatown and need groceries, you've got to swing by New May Wah. One of the things I miss the most in SF is having a Ranch 99 conveniently located - driving out to Daly City or Foster City just isn't any fun - so New May Wah is the next best thing.
The selection of all foods Asian is just awesome. I was thrilled to finally find a place that sold the supplies to let me make my own taro boba, and sells jasmine honey tea for the same price as Ranch 99. It's got a crazy selection of sake, carries sea bass, and has more sauces and candies than you can shake a stick at.
As much as I promote local shops and neighborhood grocers, I gotta' give it up for this place. It's where I'm heading for my shopping needs from here on out.
Oh - and if you don't like crowds and packed aisles, you won't like this place - but go for the selection and prices, not the comfort. :)

the widest selection of everything asian you could possibly need: dried fruit, candied yams, pork balls, shrimp chips; sauces/oils/spices galore - hoisin sauce, plum sauce, black sesame oil, pickled this and vacuum sealed that, and so much more. plus, a ridiculous amount of juices (cactus, aloe, crazy caffeinated beverages in cans) and rice & noodle products. in sum, there is pretty much everything you would expect aplenty and anything obscure you could want galore. so much fun!

As I mentioned in my review on the 3rd & Geary Farmer's Market, I'm a guy on a budget. However, that doesn't mean I don't like to eat well. It may have taken me a bit to realize this place also has inexpensive meat and fish, but whatever. I'm sold on the joint now.
When we still had Cala Foods across the way, I could always find bargains there--and it was close by.
Sadly, we got to have another Toyota Dealership (fortunately sans Starbux) instead. That, however, is another rant for later.
NMW is cheap, and, often dizzing with the frenetic pace of beehive activity. Initially, I thought it was another of the many grocery stores that cater to the huge Asian population in the Richmond. I don't do a lot of cooking with those types of ingredients myself---although I do like all of the various ethnic varieties. I just suck at cooking in that style. So, I really didn't check it out untill my roomate tipped me on its close proximity to 540 Club. I checked it out, tried some of the chicken as a test, and even acquired the bulk of the meat and fish for my 540 Club BBQ a couple months back (see my 540 review for the details there).
Now I'm there almost every day. The prices are pretty hard to beat, and the quality seems to be just fine. I often find nice Ribeye steaks for between 4-5 bux, and can get a skinless chicken breast for $2-3. The fish is also good, and pretty reasonable.
Better late than never...

Fishy smelling Asian markets bring me happy memories from my childhood. With such a nice, cheap market close two blocks away, I'm never going to ask my sister to take me to Ranch 99 again! Why have I waited so long to come here? And for pple who complain about this market not having enough Western goods, there's a Safeway on 7th and Cabrillo.

You can find the whole spectrum of asian foods here from normal dumplings and mochi to exotic chicken carcasses and oxtails. As expected from an asian market, the prices are cheap, aisles are small, and it can get crowded. This place is the best substitute for 99 Ranch in the city but the parking sucks.
It may be large, well stocked, and conveniently located, but they can improve on a few things. The prices are not always competitive. They have very few American (Western) goods. The produce is sub par, with few (no) organic items. While I was there today I witnessed workers spitting on the floor in the butcher area, and "fresh" fish being left on the floor (in the middle of an aisle). Also, several items I checked were past their expiration dates.
Tip: Support your local family owned shop and feel a lot better about what you are eating.

I am on first names with the fish here.
This is the best Asian market I've seen in town - half the size of a small Safeway, a good selection of fresh produce, bright, clean, and crowded. They have Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, even a decent natto selection and a bulk fish ball cooler.
Most spectacular is a whole back wall fish in tanks, swimming lively in clear water. Fish cuts on ice in the front counter are fresh and varied, and the fish staff is friendly, cheerful, wickedly good at preparing whatever you ask for, and English-enabled. Not just one clamsor mussel, but a dozen or more mollusk varieties. Conch, snails, lobster at $8 a pound, live dungeness for $5. Salmon heads. This one will go toe to toe against any fish market in town. The terrestrial meat section fills another back wall and is very fresh and quite inexpensive.
Prices are as low as can be. Onions are were four pounds for a dollar, herbs on stem for 99 cents a fistful (other than parsley and cilantro, obviously much cheaper). Asian pears fifty cents a pound.
If I lived in the neighborhood I would be over every day to grab a fish for dinner. You could go into a frenzy here.

Edit:
I didn't really get a very good look at the fish counter of this place - OMFG this place is AWESOME! Live frogs, all kinds of bloody, headless fish, totally exposed, all of it. Also on the opposite wall is totally exposed chicken carcasses and the like. How is this at all amenable to the US food handling safety laws? I mean if we have any, I don't know. Anyway, it is totally amazing.

Must. Have. Mochi.
The other day i bought a 5-pack of miniature mochi (red bean, I think it was) at the Richmond New May Wah.
I ended up eating all 5 in a few hours.
Now the craving is coming back.
Good thing the New May Wah is only a few short blocks from my new apartment. Or maybe not a good thing....
Oh yeah, this place is madness. I'm always amazed at the ability of Chinese grandmothers to bodyslam anyone in their way at the market. They have SHARP elbows too. So...head down, power through, be quicker than them. That's the only way to survive here!

New May Wah is the shit. My mom doesn't need to send me snacks or dry goods from Hawaii anymore because I can essentially find them all at this one store. ASIAN DRY GOODS FOR HELLA CHEAP!! (I never use Bay Area lingo, but for this amazing grocery I will make an exception!).
My May Wah staples include:
- Ichiban Sapporo brand ramen (my favorite miso flavor [the orange package] = 45 cents a package)
- Salted Korean Seaweed (pack of 3 = $1.09)
- Golden Curry curry base (3 boxes for $5)
- furikake (nori [seaweed] and sesame seed seasoning) (2 dollars something)
- cheap tofu (85 cents)
- frozen pork/vegetable gyoza (potstickers) (package containing 30 pieces= $2.50)
- Aloha Shoyu, Hawaiian Sun drinks, Diamond brand crackers... why should I ever go home?
Plus a wide variety of arare (kaki mochi, mochi crunch, sen bei, Japanese rice crackers or whatever the hell you choose to call it!), sweet goodies like Pocky and Hello Panda, noodles, rice, sauce, tea, fresh produce, an entire meat/fish market, and really, really cheap random plastic goods. Basically, if you're Asian (or trying to immerse yourself in the general culture), you MUST shop here!
PS the ladies at the registers can be very short with you. Don't take it personally.

I just finished a really good swim at Rossi, I'm parched and really should just head home, but I'm all out of hot sauce and I'm already in the Richmond, so I might as well head to May Wah. I'll be in and out in no time - get the hot sauce and a water and get home. Okay, here we go.
I score on parking, yay. So far so good.
I scan the fruit bins outside the store and sniff a couple mangoes, but then I remember what happened to the last mango I forgot to eat. I have a peach, a banana, and some plums at home - there's no need to get ahead of myself. Stay focused.
I'm so thirsty though. I really should remember to bring water with me to the pool. I never forget when I go to yoga but maybe because it's wet in the pool that I just don't think that I need the water. But I do. Again, stay focused.
May Wah is huge and split into two sections. The left is mostly non-perishables ranging from canned lychees, to bowls, to rice noodles and then on the right you have your smelly fish, asian greens, and chicken feets. I know May Wah like the back of my hand so I head left to the aisle of a thousand and one sauces. I am focused now.
I know exactly what I'm looking for and I want to find it quick. Not only am I thirsty from the swim but I'm starting to get hungry. I'm fading fast. Feeling a little disoriented from post-swim fatigue, dry mouth from the dehydration, and now craving for the food. Focus...it should be easy to spot with it's fluorescent green top and bright red color through the plastic bottle. Where is it?!
Okay, maybe I'm walking too fast. I slow down and head back. There's other hot sauces, hoisin sauces, oyster sauces, black bean sauces, red bean sauces -- where is my hot sauce? Uh oh...there's a gaping hole amongst the wall of a thousand and one sauces...this can't be. Could they be...no, how could they be...so I ask...and...
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH?!?!?! MAY WAH!!! You don't have SRIRACHA?!?!?! You're THE asian supermarket on Clement, in the Richmond, in all of San Francisco!!!! And you're out of Sriracha?! Even white people love Sriracha! Oh, I see...it's because all the white people are buying my Sriracha!
Okay - I can't blame the white people...I love that they embrace the food of my people. I can't blame May Wah...occasionally you run out of things. Okay, I'm going. Fine.
With no one to blame, I leave feeling defeated and alone in a world without my Sriracha.
And I'm still thirsty!

Cashier: "That will be $25."
Me holding 5 bags of groceries: "What?!"
(Seriously, I need to reserve shopping at Whole Foods for special occasions.)
Don't expect cleaniless. Don't expect a polite staff. BUT they DO speak English here. I know this sounds stupid and ignorant of me, BUT after accompanying my grandmother on shopping trips here for years and listening to only Cantonese I wasn't sure. Guess it wasn't just me because even my own mother asked me how I managed to order meats from the butcher!
Mom: "How did you explain to them how to wrap the ground pork into little 1/4 lb packages! You're only cooking for yourself! You don't know how to say that!"
Me: "Uh. I just asked nicely?"
Silly rabbit.
May Wah rocks. For their prices. For their produce. For their selection of sauces. For their yummy snacks. The only thing I won't buy here is chicken because I don't like that it sits on ice for everyone to poke and prod at. Sorry but I don't want to get Salmonella!

Oh my God! I have no idea what I was thinking when I decided I could navigate this store on my own. I lived in Hong Kong when I was young and though I would remember all of the things I loved as a child and be able to walk into this store and maneuver through this place like a pro.
Well, let me tell ya, I have nothing on the army of 85 year old Chinese women in this store who are on a shopping mission! I was pushed around, beaten with bok choy, and yelled at in Cantonese more than once. I nearly slipped and died on an unidentifiable animal part in the meat isle...the meat aisle being huge bins of ice with animal parts loosely thrown on top.
In the process of this trip I discovered my memory is not as air tight as I thought. I hate to admit it but I was completely lost and confused. I did manage to find some little white sweet things, some small spicy rice crackers, some noodles of some sort and a few frozen things...all of which I do remember loving as a child. Unfortunately I cannot tell you to run out and try them because none have a name I can read. I also have no idea how to prepare half of the things I picked up.

I'm in the Inner Richmond and I shop here all the time. Has just about everything I need for most of my cooking, and excellent prices.
Love this palce for finding treasures, great fish- it doesn't smell fishy which is always a plus, very fresh. Prices are so/so, and the employees may be a bit sketch, but. Just look at expiration dates on packaged food and you will be set to go!
For most of my produce, Asian cooking, tofu and vegetarian based foods needs, I come here. Cheap prices on vegetables and fruits. They carry all kinds of tofu, they have pre-packed vegetarian deli containers full of things like seasoned bean curd, etc., and they also have a huge selection of Asian sauces and condiments. They sell to restaurants in the area and so you'll also find in the rice section large, gargantuan bags of chili flakes, and sesame seeds and all kinds of stuff. Parts of the store are also broken up culturally, like there's a Filipino, Japanese and Singaporean food areas. The seafood of course is pretty prominent throughout the store in terms of smell, but the frozen seafood section is a better draw as they have some good deals on packaged prawns and calamari, peeled or skinned or what ever else you may want done with your seafood. The cash registers are always very well manned with a host of girls to ring you up and get you on your way. But I gotta say, there is one very big downside to this place, try not to buy your meat here because unfortunately, those butchers back there, not the exactly the cleanest. I've witnessed them doing some very bad habits behind the counter. I know it's probably cultural but, I will buy no pork here ever, no matter how beautiful that humongous bone in pork shoulder at such a cheap price looks. (Sigh...)

This place would get at least 4 stars just for not being a giant chain that carries the same stuff as all other grocery stores. But, it gets 5 stars because it's my kind of place...seeing as how I was some flavor of Asian person in a previous incarnation.
I try to stop at NMWS about twice a month to stock up on fresh fish (surprisingly good quality), crispy Fuji apples, seasonal produce, fresh chow fun noodles, a multitude of sauces (hoisen, oyster, black bean garlic--all pantry must-haves), and lots of kitchen wares (including my beloved extra-long cooking chopsticks).
Nope, they don't do organic, the fish counter's a bit stinky, and the old Chinese ladies are rude and will cut in line if you let 'em. It's often crowded and chaotic, and definitely in need of a good cleaning. This place is perfect!
Chopped Lemongrass (frozen) 79 cents. Black Sesame seeds 79 cents. This alone brings me in.
Lots of complaints about agressive older Asian women on reviews for Asian supermarkets make me think that Americans rely on a sense of entitlement to chaos free shopping. Personally I am glad that options like this exist.

If you are looking for authentic Asian food, New May Wah is the place to go! Including a smelly seafood and butchers that will cut meat and bones to your liking. This place is packed from wall to wall with many many Asian brands with reasonable prices. You can get every Asian style of noodles here.
Don't come here on weekends if you can help it. It gets awfully crowded and the line set up is dreadful. I have stopped purchasing chicken here, as I saw a lady drop a chicken breast on the floor. Then subsequently picked it up with tongs and replaced it with the rest of the pile. If you do get meat, get it from the butchers directly.
I love to cook. In particular, I love experimenting with cuisine from all over Asia. What's nice about Richmond New May Wah is that I can find staples from every corner of Asia here (and parts of Europe ... they have some nice Belgian chocolates here, too, BTW) which is extremely convenient, saving me from making several different stops all over SF if I want to make an international feast.
Since this supermarket is on busy Clement Street, I highly recommend coming around 8am to find a parking spot and to avoid the crowds. Another good reason to come early is so you have a good reason to grab dimsum across the street at Good Luck while you're in the 'hood. Yay!

Great deals everywhere you look from vegies, ramen noodles, fresh fish, to lotto tickets. My girlfriend and I love to go grocery shopping here because we save so much coming here instead of going to Safeway and etc. Everything here is cheap except for their microwave foods and american products hahaha, but fresh stuff like vegies and meat is very cheap here.
This is one of my favorite markets in the City. I can always find fresh produce at competitive prices whether it's gailan (Chinese broccoli), Shanghai bok choy or bitter melon. I like broccoli and often I prefer the bushy floret part more than the stem. This is just something that I noticed but the broccoli at Richmond New May Wah has some of the shortest stems available at any produce market, and that is my kind of broccoli!
There is a huge assortment of Chinese dried goods and seasonings and if it is tofu or fresh noodles you are looking for, you will go ga-ga over the many different varieties available.
Looking for a snack food? There is an immense variety of Asian snack foods here. For me it's garlic peanuts, shrimp chips and the many flavors of Pocky that keeps me coming back for more.

Where do I start?
How about the the aisle full of assorted ramen from all parts of Asia and that's not including the fresh ramen in the refrigerated section.
They also have an array of weird drinks from basil seed to grass jelly to Pocari Sweat (it's not really sweat, more like a japanese gatorade but not as sweet). I'm still trying to figure out how to drink from that soda bottle that has a marble stopper near the opening. They also have about 12 different brands of tofu for a vegetarians delite. Bring your armor when heading for the produce aisle cuz those little Asian women are like gladiators, when they want something they won't hesitate to go for it, and why is it that they are always restocking the produce aisle during the busiest time. I like to peruse their candy section and find some sweets for my sweetie wife. This store is chock full of interesting items, I'm Chinese and I can go down every aisle and find at least a dozen items that I never knew existed. Check out the variety of dried scallops behind the registers, some can go for $99 bucks a pound.
