For being so small it's pretty good. I moved to Merced from an area that had a robust Japanese grocery store, but I have had a hard time in the Central Valley finding what I need for some of the dishes I cook at home. Lee's is probably one of the better places in the area to go to for looking for Japanese specific items. They usually carry some good local produce, a decent amount of different mushrooms. Beyond that they also have very delicious hot foods during lunch time. If you are looking for specific stuff for Japanese cuisine, try here, but know that you might have to drive out to the bay area to find it.

We love this place. This is the only place we go for our Asian Foods. And many vegetables are cheap

Questions & Answers

do you all sell pigs ears? I like to make sandwiches with them. Also, I would like to make a filipino dish called sisig. I need meat from the pig's head to make it authentic, but here in the central valley, I am having trouble to find it..

Try the Asian store across the street from donut king next to the Mexican restaurant. They have fresh pig meat every day and I'm pretty sure you can get some there. I think the store is call Smart Save

Do you guys have the powder that you just add water to to make boba drink?

Alex Cortes | Oct 1, 2018
Roger P. Castillo | Oct 1, 2018

They have the instant Thai Tea mix powder, if that is what you're asking. I tried it and taste authentic. You only need to boil a 5 minutes boba that is also available and you got yourself a boba drink. Just have those big straws ready.

What are the Covid safety practices like here?

Hello. Before workers clock in, they sanitize hands and take temperatures. Anyone having a temperature of 100 degrees or more are sent home. The majority of our employees have been vaccinated, or waiting to complete their vaccinations. We change our air filters more frequently, sanitize frequently touched surfaces, baskets, credit terminals. We also changed how we package our hot food items. We try our best to remind customers to socially distance themselves, but that can be a challenge. No one is allowed in the store without a mask. When the store starts to get crowded, we limit people inside and have them wait outside. We also ask non essential customers in groups to wait outside when it’s busy to better distance everyone. If you have any suggestions or recommendations, they would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your interest. :)

Where are the fresh produce items such as the cabbage and greens sourced from? Where are they grown?

Tori Perez | Sep 30, 2020
Lee's Community Food Market | Sep 30, 2020

Hi Tori, A lot of our produce comes from Merced and Atwater. We have bins and a giant table that has all the veggies and greens layed out. Those would be locally grown, we also have other items that we order from produce companies that we can’t get locally when they are out of season. Hope that answers your question. Have a wonderful day!
