TBL Asian Market - Fresno, California

Erv Klein

Disappointing. Most of the standard disappointing hallmarks of small "international markets" I've come across in several cities and states, e.g. it does not come across as bright and clean like a good local market or supermarket, many items not priced, most not labeled in any way with Spanish or English so you may have no idea what half the market is comprised of unless you know some asian languages and/or already know what the food products and produce/meats being sold are; it can be a somewhat frustrating experience. That, and the atmosphere/lack of customer service lends to an unwelcoming experience for a white guy who grew up here. Bring your Google Translator app if you're not fluent in an Asian or a Pan-Asian language or two. I'm one who loves trying new things, but unfortunately the wife and I walked out empty handed because of the items available, the ones we could identify were all available at better kempt stores at seemingly competitive prices. Still like Island Pacific on Bullard in NE Fresno best of what I've come across in the area, but I'm always on the hunt for clean markets with International foods to sample. Wife worked in and managing supermarkets for 20+ years so we know the challenges of food safety in meticulously clean stores, and unfortunately many stories you may not want to hear about food stores that are not meticulous with cleaning and maintenance. Selection made it a 4-star, mediocre maintenance and what that often translates to in terms of food safety dropped it to a 2-star review (my family won't be returning but I don't want to pretend I know more than I do about their actual problem(s) with food safety there.)

I visit this store when I need veggies and herbs in a pinch. The prices are a bit higher compared to other Asian markets, so I usually only stop by for last-minute shopping. They do offer a decent variety of groceries, and it's convenient to have one in Clovis. I like earning points as a member here, too.

First time I actually got to come visit inside, look around and browse, help mom find and buy some Asian groceries/food goods in stock. Nice cozy find along Clovis and Ashlan Aves otw to church or Sierra Vista Mall route. Convenient and friendly, family-run location of its own kind. Happy to support The Brioche Lady in any way, still have to try one of her breads though! Good word of mouth support for some Filipino "Bread and Butter" bakery goods display that gets rotated here every so often inside alongside all the magnificent vegetables, noodles, freezer goods, fresh hot foods, water station, drinks, baking and cooking utensil supplies. There are three checkout register lanes but they seem to utilize only one or two so far. Hope they can hire more help/employees later, fairly new growing business I want to stay for a long while. Hope to/plan on coming back again later, vegetables and Asian home goods/foods selection and helpful employees who might remember you if you come often enough was enough for me to smile and give them a high rating. Room to grow and prices to change but I love the vibe and customer service. Appreciate you TBL Market, thank you! :3

Water tastes great from their dispenser. The vegetables are all from local growers and they are always fresh.

This is an ok size asian grocery store. Prices are reasonable. Ok selection of asian vegetables. Hot food could be better. For clovis, it's nice to have this type of store or else you will have to travel all the way to southeast Fresno for similar items. Only difference is that there is supposed to be bread/pastry that is made here that is super popular, but there were none when I went. Hopefully next time.

Great produce. Some fun gems in the freezer. All the hot food and desserts in the back of the store are 10/10. Lots of really great ingredients in the aisles: honey, cookies, seasoning, snacks, teas, coffee, noodles.

My favorite part is all the baked goods near the register. Spanish Bread, Pan de Sal, Taro Buns, Ube Brownies. There is always something delicious to try.

Friendly workers and very clean.
