Happi Spatula (former Asian 101 Market), San Marcos CA

The name is now "Happi Spatula" which made it harder to find, but it's a great little store, the owner was helpful and informative. Has basics including some fresh produce.

Friendly staff & great selection makes this one of SD county's best little Asian markets.

I went there to pick up my Wish items & they were very sweet! Anytime I am in the area I just might pop in for a hello and what's on sale? Lol.
Please support small businesses!

You don't have to drive down to Clairmont for a great selection of asian produce and sauces. Love this little market!

I love this small mom-pop market.

They even have a small stand with some very delicious Taiwanese baked breads from one of favorite bakeries from LA! SO COOL!

I LOVE how they prepackage all the fresh delicious vegetables here. Just pick up the mushrooms, green onions, chives that I needed and go! What a super simple solution given the current times we live in!

They have a great selection of high-quality ingredients, and the usual spices you can find at like 99 ranch; but do come here for the fresh veggies and mushrooms!

I stayed for the recipes too haha! They have simple recipes playing on their TV’s, and you can get all the ingredients for them right there.

The staff here is incredibly informative, helpful and friendly. I love the intimate feel the excellent staff provides. This market is what local community is all about.

This market is truly a gem of North County; and I’m going to make the drive from PQ more often now.

We discovered this market on an online local asian community and everyone raves about them. Just look at the other reviews too. They also sell frozen sliced meats too if you ask for them. For $20 for frozen sliced shabu-shabu beef is a good price. The package is so huge, it’s a better deal than what you can get at HMart. They really pack in the meat too, so you save some freezer space too for more meat. Awesome!

Thanks Printer Helpers to resolve my typical issue.i was upset because of not getting done now you made my day.

Most of the item are old or expires, they don't have good customer service I shop at wish 3 time and when I arrive the item was lost and they said it's not there problem it's wish website

Insanely fresh veggies, noodles and meat selection also employees are super helpful and friendly!

It's a little smaller, but they ended up having some of the wierd things I needed for a dish I made.

Impressed with their stock regardless of the size.

Very conveniently located close to home. 5 minutes is better than having to drive to H-Mart for 30-40 mins for 1 or 2 Asian ingredients. Friendly customer service and fair prices. Also, it’s a local business so let’s support it!

Really nice people, clean store, good food. Found the hottest noodles I've ever had in my life at this store.

Very good selection of everything one finds at a grocery store at shockingly low prices. Store was clean and well stocked
