“Great quality meat and really fresh! The staff are friendly and always helpful with recommendations. I love that they have a good selection of cuts and the prices are fair.”
“Always the freshest chicken links and sausage ???! The owners are always polite and great..my father's been going their for years and turned me on and now I get all my chicken links from there and only here!!!”
“So, today was a good day. I missed las manña itas de la virgen at el Mercadito in Boyle Heights but without knowing, they had a celebration for la Virgen Maria.
I had a good time. Yhey gave tacos but they also sell fried tacos and also sell great chicharones.
We came from foodforless to buy them here.”
“I’m a vegetarian giving this butchery 5 stars ? I’ve reluctantly had to incorporate animal protein on a limited basis into my diet. I came here from reviews I’d read and I’m so glad I did. The guys here are humble, compassionate, friendly, educated, and helpful. I was so impressed with the person I spoke to, I didn’t catch his name but he was wearing a black “no smoking” brand hat - wow, he was so thoughtful of my experience buying animal protein again (for the first time in 10 years). He clearly cared, listened to my concerns, answered my questions, and was genuinely compassionate. I was sad to learn the owner passed a couple years back (who had also been a vegetarian prior), and I was inspired by their mission to carry his legacy forward of compassionate butchery. They said “The animals here only have one bad day in their life” which was an honest motto I can respect. I’ll be back, guys. I can tell you understand community.??”
“Love their hot food bar. If you need to grab something quick it’s perfect, overpriced for regular grocery shopping though. Also they have the wrong times on their signage outside with the hours of closing.”
“The owner Lou went above and beyond to make sure I had a pleasant experience with him and my selection of meats. He was out of the meat I was looking for and made sure to take care of me with an alternative option.”
“High quality meat and chicken, also spices and sauces. Yummy, fresh sandwiches and a very friendly staff. Berel was knowledgeable and helped me find the right cut of meat for the dish I wanted to make. A mom and pop butcher with this level of quality and service is a rare find these days.”
“I love how clean and organized everything is here. The produce is always fresh, good quality meats and there meat area is always super clean. Staff are real friendly and plenty parking. The only reason im giving 4stars is because they dont sell beer here. If your doing a BBQ you want everything in one store save you some extra trips.”
“Very patient staff. I don't usually order sandwiches, but I was ordering for my family and they walked me through what they have. Every part of the order came out right. I had the Moroccan Fish and it was delicious.”
“I been in this market a few times, and it never disappoints me, great meat selection (I ordered marinated chicken it was supper delicious not salty but perfect with flavor) but everything time I purchase meat the butcher send it to the front, but I always forget. They also have a big selection of healthy and unhealthy drinks, and a decent selection of vegetables, fruits, and other good quality Mexican ingredients. My favorite part they are open Sundays!”
“I love their meat their prices are great and their freshly packed and what I love is that I can find the small turkey wings it's very hard to find small turkey wings..”
“I loved the meat. Fresh and deliciously marinated. I personally love the authentic local experience of having meat grilled in the backyard of the market. Customers are all local families who came and picked up food continuously. Reasonable priced and friendly staff. Highly recommend.
Review 2: ok Im obsessed w this place so I came back. Got quite a lot this time to try out. I love my chicken, beef, fish ceviche, and spicy shrimp cucumber salad, and hot links (pork blood sausage). I asked the chef to grill the beef medium rare and it was perfecto! The chicken was the star. OMG! It was juicy, soft and chewy, and delicious! The hot links was interesting as it tastes similar to blood sausage in Vietnam (my country). The staff was afraid that I didnt know it was blood so he made sure I understood it and went out to ask the chef to grill it well for me. 12/10 for the food and friendliness!”
“I was casually driving to my grandpa’s house when I spotted a BBQ sign with smokers outside. Starving and craving something good, I decided to pull over—and I’m so glad I did. I was greeted with amazing service, and while the food was fantastic, what truly made the experience special was the people. There was a real family feel to the place. The beef ribs, brisket, and tri-tip were absolutely delicious. If you’re ever in the area, do yourself a favor: stop by, meet this wonderful community, and don’t miss out!”
“What a special and wonderful place. They are so helpful and kind! We are so delighted to discover this jewel and support them. They have Basturma!! HOORAY Los Angeles shines brightest when one remembers how lucky we all are to live here and have access to the most delicious cultures on the planet. AND with such lovely human beings that make it all happen.”
“It's okay the prices are a little high but it with me being disabled right now it's close I can walk to it so I like it I like the meat variety and the cost for the meat is pretty cheap”

“I was in the K-town area looking for meats to cook at home and came across Olympic Choice Meat Market, so glad I did! I picked up beef tongue, kosal, and marinated short ribs, along with a few sauces the owner recommended, and everything was AMAZING.
The owner was super helpful and even gave me tips on how to cook everything at home, which made a huge difference. The quality of the meat was honestly better than what I’ve had at most all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ spots, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly marinated.
If you’re looking for high-quality meats, Korean BBQ cuts, or a great local butcher shop in Koreatown, I highly recommend Olympic Choice Meat Market. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“There warm food options are delicious. My personal favorite is la torta de milanesa :) For every weekend BBQ this is my favorite place to get chicken and meat, it is well marinated! Buenisimo y me senti bienvenido!”
“Al Salam Meat and Poultry is by far the best distributor I’ve found. The quality of the meat is unmatched, and the customer service—even from the owner—truly showed how much they care about their customers. The delivery was seamless and convenient, making the whole process so easy. I’ll definitely be ordering from them again!”
“Got a torta pollo and it was so good and authentic, had a Mexican cheese as well. Better food than any food truck around.
Portion size is huge and I did pickup”
“Was around the area working on a installation in house and after a good days work a cold one is well deserved and I'm glad I stopped by here for my cold one. Thank you "V" great customer service.”

“Great place with a great selection of things. The meat here is good and they always have a good amount of fruits and veggies. I have to say even on days where i don't want to go to a big store this is a life saver. Sometimes family visits unexpectedly and this store has been the best place to get a carne asada started.”

“If you know, you know. This is the best place to get your carne for your carne asadas and such . Every single time we have people over. They always ask where we get the meat from. We've been coming here for years and they always have fresh meat and fresh veggies”
“If you’re looking for quality produce & cutlery this is the location to come to. This store is a staple to the community. From the staff to the quality of the product you can taste and see the effort that’s put into it all , shout out to the owner for keeping his location to a standard that’s unmatched ??”
“Authentic small Mexican market where you can find everything at a good price. Vegetables, spices, fresh meat, cleaning products, etc. Really friendly and honest staff.”
