If you’re driving down Franklin Boulevard in South Sacramento and want a grocery experience that’s a bit more personal than the big-box chains, you’ve got to pull into the lot at Chhun's Supermarket. Located at 6701 Franklin Blvd, it’s a legendary neighborhood spot that has served the local community for years. While the outside might look like your typical corner market, the inside is a goldmine for anyone who loves authentic Asian flavors, particularly if you’re looking for the tastes of Cambodia, Thailand, or Vietnam right here in the 95823.
What really makes Chhun's a local favorite is the specialized inventory you just can’t find at Safeway. It’s a Cambodian-owned market, and regulars know it’s the go-to place for high-quality Cambodian sausages, specialty fermented fish, and fresh galangal or lemongrass. If you’re planning to cook a traditional Amok or a big pot of Kuy Teav, this is where you come to get the "real" ingredients. It has that authentic, old-school market vibe where the aisles are packed with imported spices, massive bags of jasmine rice, and unique snacks that make every visit a bit of a treasure hunt.
One of the best-kept secrets here is the hot food section. If you catch them at the right time, you can grab ready-to-eat Cambodian delicacies that taste exactly like a home-cooked meal. From savory stuffed pastries to traditional noodle dishes, the food here is flavorful and unpretentious. It’s the perfect pit stop for a quick, affordable lunch that’s way more satisfying than a standard burger. Plus, they carry a great selection of fresh produce and seafood that’s often priced much better than the larger supermarkets nearby.
The atmosphere at Chhun's is exactly what you want from a family-run business: friendly, busy, and deeply rooted in the community. The staff is helpful, and you’ll often see neighbors catching up in the aisles. It’s a clean, reliable, and authentic staple of the Sacramento international food scene. Whether you’re a lifelong resident of the Franklin corridor or just a foodie looking for hard-to-find ingredients, Chhun's is an essential stop that keeps our local food culture vibrant and delicious.
