Reviews of Mountain View Red Apple (Fruit Store)

William Soule

Cool ethnic grocery.

Arenza Thigpen, Jr.

Red Apple has changed a lot. It used to be the "store in the neighborhood." Now EVERYBODY goes there. Great selection of Asian products everywhere. I was shocked to see black rice (purple like) and duck eggs.

Raylynn Garcia

Love going there always has what I need including my international chilli or other foods

Manya Wilson

Red Apple has a great selection of ethnic foods. You can find every thing from Aloe vera to Mexican Soda.

Jerre Hudgins

It was quite interesting seeing cans of corned beef and Spam locked behind a glass case with a sign saying that if you want any of the items to get an employee. Aside from that oddity, being in one of the worst parts of town and significantly overpriced in just about everything is good enough of a deterrent to not really care to go back there again. The only thing going for it is the unusual food items, particularly for people from Asian countries. Also, no public restroom, in case that matters.

David Borneman

Low prices, diverse selection and great staff.

Kenisha Ngumah

Busy and crowded But a big wide selection makes it worth the trip to the view.

I just watched a manager tell a young woman she couldn't pay for her lotion with a Walmart gift card. What should have been an awkward possibly humorous error ended with me calling 911 on that woman's behalf. The normal security guard who is Awsome, by the way, was NOT there. The manager, a grey haired white man in his 60's with a mustache grabbed her by the arm and was wrenching her arm while three more Male employee's grabbed her other arms. So there were two grown, huge men on each of her arms dragging her out of line INTO THE STORE. The argument had gotten loud but this is where the Red Apple Manager BROKE THE LAW. I stepped in front of them and asked if he was an officer and if she was under arrest. He looked me dead in my face and said "This is none of your business, walk away." I told him she hadn't broken any laws but them grabbing her was assault. THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES WAS TRYING TO HAND CUFF HER! I pulled out my phone and said I was calling the police. She was begging me for help, my two girls got to watch as that women was dragged into the back of the store. My 911 call was less than professional, but the dispatcher explained to me that she was probably getting arrested for shoplifting!!??? The officers that showed up said the same thing. I told them I was glad they were here now & what I saw while they walked up to the store. They weren't phased, and repeated that the woman was most likely stealing as they went in. We kept walking away and I told them that she got dragged to the back of the store by four men so she was still in there. This was near noon on Friday, June 14th. I don't know that woman, she looked like 20s or maybe early 30s, but it's hard to tell when she she's red faced with terror, crying and screaming, "Wait, I have money, you can't do this. I didn't break the law. Somebody help me." At the Red Apple Grocery, in Mountain View.

Very good selection of Asian foods. Quaint little market

Christina Marie Jo

Everything is almost always expired and customer service it terrible. Went in with coupon for a couple things and the woman told me I couldn't use the coupon on a certain item because it had a different picture then on the coupon even though it was the same damn thing name and all. Just a different character on it.

This store has such a great variety of international and American foods. If you need something they will do their best to get it for you. They cater to many ethnicities and have friendly staff.

Daovady Vilavanh

Love the best thing about it all the more time I have a good day to shopping for my family to get a good deal

Yuri Sutton

One of the few places my wife and I can find the ingredients to make delicious Filipino food. The prices are pretty good and there is always an abundance of products available. It would be five stars, but the location and activity of people outside the store make it exhausting to go there. Every time we are there, there is either a Community Patrol van or police car there to pick up a very well-behaved citizen.

Vince Vega

Great place to visit if you need something to get a fix for your Asian craving. A variety of ingredients.

Jessica Felton

Not All But Allot of there Cashiers Are Not Very polite, Instead of interacting with the customer whom there Checking Out There Busy speaking to anyone else.. I've Had a Cashier Let Someone behind me go ahead of me and wouldn't let me speak about it.. other than that they do have allot of Products you don't find elsewhere.

Lisa Sanders

Prices are pretty high here. Most of there products are for the Asian and Samoan communities. The products that are for everyone else are way to highly priced. Example: there Coffeemate creamers are at least $2 higher than regular stores. Way to highly priced.

Ken Miler

Great place to shop for Asian food. The shelves are always full and the staff helpful. This is the best Asian Market in Alaska.

Savili Timo

Great options for produce and meats, they even have a large section oriental foods

Elaine Lott

Red Apple is one of the best stores in Anchorage. They have a large variety of items.

Guillermo Jitchaku

A John

Ross Arter

Great selection of ethnic food. Great service and management.

Wenda Davis

They have a wide variety of items.

CJ Rave

Its a expensive cheap store. The staff are friendly but the other customers were questionable. If your riding a bike make sure you have a bike lock for outside because they will not let you bring your bike inside while shopping. Western union line was really long and took a long time because there's only one person in customer service and one computer. I recommend going some where else for sending or receiving money.

Joshua Federico

Great diverse range of products. Have good sales.

Kathy Jean Nelson

Wonderful! Very low prices when you use their coupons!

katherine manook

It was good for an quick stop to get an item.

William J Soule

Kornthida Sittithamsakul

Nena Fuller

If you have important bags take to the office. That improves taking care of from people taking your important bags.

Jia Hui Sim

Lots of varieties and have a super big asian section that we love Good price. Friendly staff Abit far from town

Rebecca Ervin

There is always affordable and interesting finds in this place.

Elizabeth Wright Ridenour

It's a very interesting supermarket. You can but things there that aren't available anywhere else. But things are locked up that are more expensive. But I found products here in bulk sizes that I couldn't find anywhere else. And flavors that just aren't sold anywhere else.

Landis Loftin

The place to go if you are looking for inexpensive food. Huge selection of Asian food. Almost a second market!

Sam Zeller

Alaska is the end of the supply chain so it can be difficult finding specialty food items. When the need arises, check this red apple. It's likely to have whatever is missing from Carrs or Freddies.

Wes Smith

Many thing for many cultures!!

Vilma Anderson

After I say this I probably will not find my favorite foods. The carry pigs feet, tripe and pasteles. When I go to the store I get all the pasteles they have. These pasteles are sold frozen and they are pretty tasty. I made a mistake of offering them to my family and now, I have to go early or I won’t find any. Also if you go between 1st of the month and the 5th you won’t find any either. They also carry viandas like yuca, great squash year around and bacalao, the real bacalao and the other stuff that looks like the real stuff but much cheaper. I like the real cod with plantains, green bananas, yuka and squash basted in olive oil. Yum! I am out so I better go to the store before any of you go and empty the store.

Sachiko Brandl

Get the most yummy treats here. Wish i had more room in the pantry.

Rebecca Phelps

A great diverse variety

Azalia Isenhart

I love going here they have great staff most of which have worked there a long time and therefore know the store well. They have recently in the past year or so expanded the store and therefore have even more variety of thier food n spice's.

Nina Schwinghammer

Where Anchorage’s diverse people come to shop. Wonderful selection of harder to find foods.

Monica Trickey

This would be great for a convenience store but the prices are better for food and non food items at the bigger grocery chains in Anchorage.

Charlotte chaney

Amazing low prices in a wide selection of food from many regions unpleasant location but great diverse community oriental owned and operated you have access to pulltabs inside I believe check cashing and large selection of oriental food as well toward the back off to the side every experience had was always interesting browsing the oriental section also located near by is a brown jug for your spirits and a bingo hall next to it

Bagoy Paul

They got different stuff

Jennifer Scott

My daughter and I love red Apple! They have absolutely everything in there! They have prell, they have finesse shampoo! I haven't been able to find finesse shampoo since I was in high school in 1993. They have everything everybody super night I super love it when they have coupons!

Yidder Stitch

They get a 5 Star rating for largest variety of international food/items. They are the walmart of Asian/Hispanic items. They might not be the cleanest or freshest, but you would have to visit another country to know that this place is clean enough

Chris Tadda

Love this Store. Great Customer Service and Help Finding Items 5 Stars!!!!!

Connie Daniels

Great SERVICE And FOODS THAT YOU DON'T EXPECT TO FIND.

Sequoia Lecornu

Nice little grocery store with lots of Asian specialties

Bone krasha

Good Asian and Polynesian Pacific food

Marlon Hoagland

Great place if you need something out of the ordinary, but prices are usually a little higher than most other places. Theft is also a bug problem here, call them out if you catch them, their one security guard could honestly use the help.

Lionel Walker

Great grocery store, which also have foods that Carrs and or like Walmart etc, don't have.

Georgia Holdren

They may not allow big bags or back packs but the staff and security are very friendly and if you are looking for a ethnic foods you wont typically find at most grocery stores you most likely will here. I love this store.

Natalya Mason

This store is a one of a kind store it's multicultural products can please everyone of any cultural background

This place has so much. If you're looking for an East meets West grocery experience then this is the place to go.

Mark Kellam

Tracy Blythe

John R Bruno

desiree matter

Samantha Partin

Red Apple is the place to go for things you can't find AnyWhere else! They offer great sales and the staff is friendly and helpful. It's an awesome neighborhood grocery store that caters to the diverse community that we call Mt. View!

ChelceeJavon Swain

Love finding products/Food I'm used too eating or craving. I'm from Hawaii. Your able to buy things to make local foods from back home.

GoGs Apostle Gaming

I'd give it a 3.5 stars but hey, 4 works. It's a good place to get the things you need whether it's some steaks (hit it around opening for the best) or a case or two of soda. There's frozen goods, breakfast options, most of what you might need.

Annie Feliciano

Where I can my sazon ,Adobo,cilantro, goya products !! Yes!!

Tiffany Stone

It's not that I don't like the store, but they don't have everything I need.. However it is convenient because it's within walking distance of my home.

Monica Vasquez

LOVE SHOPPING AT A STORE WHERE YOU KNOW WHERE'S EVERYTHING AWESOME

D. Tubbs

All the Asian and Hispanic options you could hope for. And plain fare for budget shoppers. A haven for couponers.

Cathey S

If your looking to purchase international products, i.e. Asian, Oriental, etc, then this place is for you. Lots of great products on shelves but the location is in an area that I wouldn't go at night alone.

Kimberly R LaHiff

Only place to get the Authentic Yakisoba that my Son loves.

Eli Matthews

Always some unique food here. Surprisingly good produce section too!

Evelyn Posala

Because they sell Samoan goodies, I'm definitely giving them 5 stars lol. Yes, I'm biased towards Red Apple due to snacks I grew up on and can't get anywhere else even though the area is sketchy.

Douglas Christy

Good prices. Good selection. Don't go there on the first of the month. Always too crowded. Not enough cashiers.

Clayton McCurdy

They seem to have everything! Even the stuff my wife wants that I've never heard of! Cool store.

Melinda Sue Graham

Great Value, Courtesy & Organized

Treyndon Lewis

Theyre there for the hood when the hood needs. Could be a little more diverse

Jeanna Duryee
