“ The only place i see selling beef tendon, pork blood cubes and frozen scallops by the bag ”
“ They have everything I need. Language barrier but I was able to get my point across and they knew what I needed! ”
“ Just need to be more sanitary. But otherwise good selection for grocery. Fair price. Nice employees. ”
“ It's an asian grocery store. The ambiance is, it is how it is. If only you can find what you need in here then go. Parking is limited. ”
“ Market looks unassuming from the outside but it's the BEST place to find Asian vegetables! I use to drive down to SF or Oakland once or twice a month to pick up some Asian vegetables. (Ong choy, pea sprouts, Gai Lan etc.) I can without a doubt say the vegetables here are fresher than you would find in any 99 Ranch or supermarket in the Bay Area chinatowns. Prices are also very reasonable. Staff behind the register is friendly and polite. Store is very small and aisles are narrow but the store is well stocked with a good variety of ingredients and noodles for both the advanced or lazy cook. Could not be more delighted to find such a gem in Santa Rosa! ”
“ Mom and pops shop been around for years. Everything has been the same since I was a child. Its a little small but does the work. They have majority of everything you need for your oriental groceries. I like going for their fresh authentic Cambodian food when I'm in town. Food is bomb each bite takes me bk to my childhood! ”
“ How many of us even know where Phnom-Penh is? P-P Oriental Grocery is a small bustling Asian supermarket in Santa Rosa named after the capital of Cambodia. The store is nowhere close to a 99 Ranch in both size and inventory. For those interested in Asian cooking, you are able to get most of what you need here. As for me, I wasn't about to disavow my heritage or throw away my wok. So we all come here even though prices may not be as cheap as in SF or East Bay but we'll still save on time, gas and toll shopping locally. It was dumb of me to judge a book by the cover. I have pooh-poohed the market because of its location and decrepit façade. First off, this is an Asian market. So expect little spoken English although some younger staff is fairly fluent. There is none of the surly and rude staff you often encounter in other Asian markets. Do expect however to find a lot of clutter, super narrow aisles and a pain to maneuver around even with just a shopping basket. Plan your shopping time accordingly. I will not reiterate every item the market carries. Aren't all Asian markets similar? There is however two big differences I noticed that made this market less than perfect. Firstly, the Japanese and Korean sections are not as well stocked and secondly, there are no live fish/seafood tanks. The market does have all those hard to find Asian food and spices that are not available in a Safeway or Raley's. The shelves were filled completely with all the staples any respectable Asian kitchen should have. Just watch out for durian, the fruit with the obnoxious odor, which may stink up your car or kitchen! ”
“ It's difficult to find a good asian grocery store in Santa Rosa. I have tried 2 others which I won't mention here. Phnom-Penh is fantastic. The parking lot is a bit tight with limited spaces and small parking stalls. They are well stocked with most items that you need to cook Asian cuisine. There is a large frozen food section with various meats including seafood and things you can't find elsewhere like chicken feet, gizards, and other internal organs. The refrigerated section had a variety of items including different wonton skins (square and around). They have fresh produce. As others have posted, the aisles are narrow and somewhat cluttered, but that's what you expect at an Asian grocery store. Just think of it an an experience. I bought 1 lb bag of fish balls and freshly made spring rolls with peanut sauce. The spring rolls were great! They came from a thai restaurant named Thai House in Santa Rosa. I guess it's free advertising for them. Highly recommend Phnon-Penh. ”
