I have been buying from this wonderful place since I was just a little girl with her grandmother. I have passed this tradition onto my own children and grandchildren. This is the best tasting preserved meat selection anywhere. We have been to a couple of other places as we have moved throughout the US, and have always looked forward to coming here. I have even sent them to friends in Arizona and Texas.
Plus, the lady is always happy to see us.

There are very few shops that make them traditional Chinese sausage, dry duck leg, and dried pork belly. This is definitely a specialty shop in a favor of many elders. The shop is very tiny but there was a lot of people there when I went to pick up some Chinese sausages for my aunts. Aunts really really like the Chinese sausage and I found it delicious as well. I will be back to get more.

Just bought over 20 pounds of sausages, preserved meat, etc.
Good thing we brought along a cooler bag on wheel as we were taking bart from the south bay. A must stop every time we go to Chinatown.

Visited over a year ago since we were tourists from Oregon and wanted to buy some authentic lap mei to bring home. Saw this place had some decent reviews and decided to check it out right before they closed. They stayed open for us and we were able to buy some delicious Chinese sausages (regular and duck liver ones) as well as Chinese bacon. They had great flavor, even better than the place we usually go to in Vancouver BC. We will be back for more if we are ever in the city again.

Don't miss this place, this is a 150 year old shop making Cantonese style preserved meats. I got some dried pork belly and lap cheong. And some dried chicken leg and some kind of flattened pork. The owner lady cut it it up for me too.

Truly the best cured Chinese meats in Northern California, the lap cheong (sausage), lap yok(pork belly), and lap ap(duck), I always buy a ton for myself and to gift to my family and feel the need to support this business as much as I can. It's a dying art what these amazing people are doing, would be so sad if they're gone. Gotta give this place a try

A poultry butcher / drying shop that's easy to find. Right off the California 1 bus line.
I bought 3 duck legs and 1 chicken leg. I'm reconstituting the duck legs, so I can brown the skin. Saving the chicken for another day. The meat is dried like jerky and tastes like it too.
