Pacific Produce

Fish market was very sketchy. The entire place was very dim, smelt like fish and only 3 employees in the store. 1 cashier 1 stocker and 1 behind the fish area. The 2 star is for their product variety. I got the noodles I was looking for that weren’t online. They really need to downsize and only carry the essentials. Too much product and not enough help to maintain fresh produce for the customers.

The store is huge, people came to check out when it first opened.. They supposed to have fresh seafood in the tanks but finally they r still emptied. Buffet table for food to go or eat in eventually closed. People came less. I don’t like to go there when it’s snowing becuz u can b stuck in snow that not plowed & parking lots is too hard to push the cart out, what to do when u have a full cart of food & can’t push becuz of snow on the lots??? I saw people got stuck on the way in or out. Lots was never cleaned so that made lots of people don’t want to come. I won’t go there when it’s snow again… Varieties of food to choose fr, lots of fresh vegetables but somehow they can’t b kept properly, they got rotten or old… Needs good customers service though! I will come when I can but it’s not my first choice…

I was a big fan of the original Pacific Produce and I am a big fan of this Pacific Produce. At first you look at your google maps and you think about whether it is worth it. Well, it is.
I like PP for it’s already peeled garlic, it’s abundance of things I can not read, and the food that I make with the stuff I get from Pacific Produce — mainly papaya salad and kimchi. However, it has all the pastes, powders, and potions your Whole Foods doesn’t have.

Good assortment of frozen and packaged foods, but not a great neighborhood.

I went to return Napa Cabbage because a couple of them were brown and rotted inside. The owner or manager told me that they could not guarantee their cabbage and vegetables, I asked for an exchange at minimum, or refund, but he refused. I bought more than 10 heads of cabbage to make Kimchi. I also recommended this store to my cooking class students in the past. Unfortunately I will not be shopping here any longer. I was excited to find a number of Korean and other Asian spices and ingredients but will buy my cabbage at Sendiks or Pick n Save or other local Asian markets. The customer service is terrible and they seem to only focus on making a profit rather than establishing long term relationships with local customers. I also had to return frozen pastry items and udon noodles because of expired dates! I don’t know if this is the same management as the south side store, but I was very disappointed with their service,

I stopped in this afternoon to get some cabbage and other groceries. The cabbage was moldy and a lot of their merchandise was expired. I don’t think they care if they get their customers sick. One thing I know for sure, I am no longer customer. They are only getting one star because zero is not an option

It’s a clean store. They have a good selection of packaged and frozen items. But they have to expand on fresh produce and seafood. The cafeteria had good bubble tea. Most of their food was not friendly for non beef eating customers. I would continue going here just for the available selection of veggies and fruits.

This is the second new location it’s still expanding. The seafood department with live fresh water tanks for fish and growing sub divided building within. With great selection for all types of groceries and cooking supplies. The Guarantee bank inside was not so great for my needs. I prefer the main location on Brown deer and GB ave. This whole store is extra cool, so bring a jacket even in the spring and fall.
Some of the Asian bakery comes fresh from Chicago so save yourself a trip and check here first.
Many of the Asian styled grocery stores have a bad reputation of having product past the good by date or use by date. I’m not saying that the food becomes poisonous or explosive or degrades dramatically but just be aware. Lots of the preserved foods last way past the dates for example. Honey, fish sauce, soy sauce, hard dry noodles. Salted dried shrimp, fish, squid. Preserved plums, radish. Dried mushrooms can be stored properly in a cool dark place. So buyer beware.

I think this place used to be something else and then changed owners. I was here over Thanksgiving weekend and the owners told us that they had been open for less than a week. It was clear that they were still in a transitional stage. Lots of Asian specialty items. It’s not quite a 99 Ranch, but it’s on its way to being one with clean and brightly lit aisles.
We dined at their deli that served the Hmong staple of phở, sticky rice, laab, sausage and papaya salad. I ordered the sticky rice and sausage and my friend ordered the phở. It was so much food. The proportions were ridiculous compared to the prices, and the food was very tasty.
I do wish it had more variety in its grocery store. A lot of the shelves had the same items and it did feel a little like they had too many shelves to fill so they just put the same items up. But again, I think they’re in a transitional stage.

this place has EVERYTHING you need when you have a recipe with unusual ingredients that you can’t find at your local Pick N Save! The fish selection is amazing and the variety of vegetables is great. Love going here to explore and everyone is friendly. Security is present at night in the parking lots which was nice.

I thought having a grocery store in the neighborhood would be great. However, the few times I’ve been there items I wanted to purchase were expired… milk, eggs, tortilla shells, orange juice… items that need to be fresh. I am always disappointed when I shop there.

Having had an enjoyable lunch at the Athens Restaurant Monday, my friend John the Certified Italian Chef and I were soon passing the recently opened Pacific Produce Market at Appleton and Hampton. This was of course a must stop for any Chef.
Pulling into the large parking lot that decades ago was a Kohl’s Department Store and later an amazing «Everything 99 Cents» that I used to visit frequently, it had been vacant for years except for the small Guaranty Bank.
Months ago it reopened as this primarily Asian Grocery Store, something gaining in popularity around Milwaukee. Pulling up as I last remembered its interior more than a decade ago I knew they had thousands of square feet of display space to fill.
Walking in with John, he remarked almost immediately, «Look at all this amazing produce!» Leave it to the Chef, who on Easter had displayed his amazing talents
for his family preparing a spectacular pork and lamb dinner. He was excited!
For a few minutes it seemed John was like a «chef in a full-​kitchen» carefully examining not only familiar produce offerings but those from Asia as well. «Look at all this» as we turned down a aisle filled with dozens of types of noodles,” he remarked.
Strolling around the store for nearly 25 minutes we knew we would be back. Going down the aisles well stocked with Asian products from China, Japan, Korea, Viet Nam, the Philippines and else where, they were supplemented by the usual American brand names.
Grabbing a few items to experiment with this week, John looked like he now couldn’t wait to get home, so we headed for the checkout.
Pacific Produce is worth a visit. They even have a Café serving hot Asian specialties
and several looked rather tempting. There is also an Asian deli and full service meat department.
Welcome Pacific Market, we hope you are successful!
