Rivera Food Service Inc. is a wholesale supermarket that specializes in Asian produce and restaurant food supplies. Often compared to Costco, it is a popular choice for buying in bulk, making it ideal for restaurants, parties, or special occasions. The store offers a wide variety of items, including sauces, frozen buns, wontons, dumplings, meat products, and fresh produce, providing a comprehensive selection of Asian foods. Customers appreciate the good prices on many items, especially when purchasing in large quantities, though prices can vary slightly compared to other Asian markets. The store is open to the public with no membership required, but a minimum purchase of $100 is enforced, with smaller transactions incurring a small fee. Parking is easy and the store is always busy, especially with Chinese products. Shopping carts may be limited, but extra carts can often be found in the parking lot. Staff are generally friendly, although assistance sometimes can be limited, and communication may be challenging if English is not spoken. Some concerns include the organization of products within the store, which can make navigation tricky, and the store's policy of not accepting credit cards for purchases under $100. Additionally, there have been issues with expired products and no refunds, so customers are advised to check expiration dates carefully. Overall, Rivera Food Service is a good option for bulk Asian food supplies, especially for those preparing large events or running restaurants.
Bought a box of assam milk tea bottles and found it expired in 2024. And there's no refunds either. Should've known since all the boxes were suspiciously taped up. Sigh... at least you can use Zelle and considering they have a variety of foods as opposed to Costco/Sam's. Check the expiration date!!

Prices are too high now! I can't afford to eat American vegetables in a box of green beans for 60 years.

Not cheap at all. Not many customers and not many lanes to check out. Perhaps good for wholesale but definitely not for individual customers.
