Ho Ho Market

Im glad to see some more Asian markets in Davis. The location is a bit far from campus, but still closer than Kim’s. And it closes later than Kim’s. Carries mainly chinese’ japanese goods. Though price is roughly the same as Kim’s

So happy another Asian store has arrived! They have a good selection of snacks. Usually, I have to go to Sacramento to get certain things I’m looking for. It’s a cute little shop that’s tucked underneath the little plaza. They have aisles for snacks like chips, cookies, crackers, candy, pocky. Another one for the different rice and noodles, the many different ramen, they even have a fridge for frozen things like mochi, dumplings, meatballs. I love the many different types of sauces they have for cooking, the pickled side dishes, instant soups and they even have all the different types of drinks and teas. It’s a good decent variety of items there. The worker there is über friendly and polite. I love they have snacks that remind me of my childhood. And their prices are much cheaper too which is nice.

This is a hidden gem that is greatly needed in the Davis community. If you ever wanted Asian snacks, you would have to drive to Sacramento or the Bay Area to get those items! The manager is very nice and receptive on items you’re wanting to get. I’m excited because I asked for natto (Japanese fermented soybeans with A LOT if health benefits) and he’s doing his best to order some! The items I usually stick up on are the Thai sour and spicy Tom Yum ramen, the chili fried fish with kefir leaves, Thai ice tea, and especially Huy Fong Sriracha hot sauce!
Every time I go, there are new items in stock. Occasionally, there might be samples given on the countertop. Also, they also partnered up with a skateboard/​long board maker, and sells some of their boards hanging in the wall.

This shop is very adorable and feels like a hidden treasure. It’s a little hard to find at first, but it’s hidden in a corner on the first level.
It has a nice selection of snacks, candy, and ramen. I’m sure there were other items but I ignored them in favor of the goodies hehe. I definitely recommend to the owner to include a cheap ready-​to-​eat lunches section.
I don’t frequent Asian stores that much, but the prices seem to be on the cheap/​reasonably priced end. I will definitely be coming here more often to restock my snack drawer.
I docked a star BC I noticed I was charged more for an item than was stated in the aisle. (I believe it was the matcha pocky) It’s a pet peeve of mine when items and their prices do not match.
Other than that, I had a good experience and will be back.

This is a great market for a wide variety of Asian, mainly Chinese food. There are snacks, frozen food. There are no hot foods like Kim’s mart, but this place is cheaper.

Great variety of Asian snacks. Coming from UC Santa Cruz I got so excited when I was in Davis and saw that they had a convenience store full of Asian snacks for students. What specifically caught my eye here was the many different types of ramen they had. So if i would ever run out there’s always a store that I know for sure that I can always go to stock up on my supply lol Besides ramen they have pocky, soups. dried fruit, chips, drinks, and condiments.
So overall, stop by and see if they have your favorite Asian snacks and drinks or if you just wanna expand your taste buds definitely come here if you’re ever in the downtown area.

Variety is for snacks is overall great, especially for the small store-​space they have! However, I wished they offered more variety of 2-​minute noodles etc. Would be nice to see pre-​packaged baked goods too, but not yet! Still feels like the store is still getting a feel of what the Davis community wants/​needs.
Also, don’t come here expecting any hot food options! I talked to the manager and he seemed really nice and hopeful about the store. He said that once the store has a sink and food prep space, they’ll start looking into prepared foods. (I will be waiting lol)
If you’re looking for matcha flavored kitkats, THIS IS WHERE THEY ARE AT. They also have other pocky flavors, and more savory snacks like wasabi peas and dried squid. These kind of things are so hard to find. unless you actually will drive to Sacramento for them. I’ll be coming back for their authentic matcha powder soonish!
Overall, yes stop by and see if they have your favorite Asian snacks and drinks. I shouldn’t forget about the Asian condiments that they have too! I’m optimistic that this store will offer more yummy foods in the near future.

Great variety of Japanese, Taiwanese and Korean snacks! One thing caught my eyes was the huge ramen collection. Ranging from Thai ramen to HK ramen, def have to go back when my ramen stock at home running low.
They have some snacks you might not be able to see in ranch 99. So if you crave for some home snacks, they will be the place to go.
Recommend: pocky (they have lots special flavor pocky), matcha kitkat, seng yong milk candy, various gummy fruit candy, Meiji chocolate. And all the RAMEN. Have fun checking out this place!

Finally a place in Davis that I can fulfill my craving from snacks to cooking ingredient without heading to Sacramento or San Francisco. A mini market though but I found most items are priced lower than that of other markets even 99.

It is a FANTASTIC market. U can get Asian snacks, drinks, cup noodles, things hardly available in Davis. U ll be surprised.

Great variety of Asian snacks filling a much-​needed niche in Davis!

+/​-​THE VARIETY
They have a LOT of the Chinese snacks I grew up eating! With that being said, it’s mainly Chinese products they sell with very few Indian and Japanese items. Since the store is still rater new, they don’t have a lot of other things aside from snacks and ramen. They currently have 2 fridges– one for drinks and one for hot pot meat balls but are trying to expand so that they have a full wall of fridges!
+ THE ENVIRONMENT
Small shop but right in the middle of downtown. It’s a bit hard to find initially because they don’t have any signs up.
+ THE PRICES
Way cheaper than Kim’s Mart! They don’t jack up the prices like crazy and you pay for what you get. This is pretty much as cheap as the things you would find in Chinatown!

Has all the Asian snacks that I grew up with. Good for quick grab and go drinks when I’m not feeling boba. Helps that the cashier is pretty cute

Great place to go to get Asian snacks and food. Prices are a little more but not by too much. One thing I like over them vs Kims Mart is that there is no credit limit where Kims Mart has the $ 10 minimum credit for credit usage. Very convenient and they carry great stock.

Small mini grocery store. This grocery store is very similar to Kim’s Mart, except without the Korean Togo section. They sell a lot of usual Asian goodies such as Hello Panda, Yan Yan and Pocky Sticks! These little Asian snacks are so nostalgic and brings back some many childhood memories. In addition, they have a large selection of drinks ranging from soda to your typical Asian drink — Calpico! They also have many sauces to choose from such as sriracha sauce, oyster sauce, hoi sin sauce and of course soy sauce and many others that will keep the list going…
However, parking is not as convenient as I would like but there should be parking spaces nearby as this place is a grab and go type of store. I don’t see why anyone would spend more than thirty minutes inside the store, unless they really need to distract themselves from studying haha… I wish this place sold prepared Togo food, then it’ll be in real competition with Kim’s Mart.
When midterms are coming up and I need some goodies, this is the place I’m going to be visiting!
