Hing Long Oriental Food Market in College Area, San Diego has stocked Vietnamese, Chinese, and Southeast Asian groceries from Suite 104 at 4644 El Cajon Blvd, 92115, since the store's founding in 1984. The market occupies a compact footprint on El Cajon Boulevard's international-dining corridor near SDSU, sharing its plaza with the adjacent Minh Ky Restaurant, a Chinese kitchen that draws from the same produce and protein supply chain. Shelves carry Vietnamese staples including fish sauce, rice-paper wrappers, dried rice noodles, tamarind paste, and lemongrass, alongside Chinese soy sauces, sesame oils, and Shaoxing cooking wine. A produce section stocks seasonal Asian vegetables — bok choy, gai lan, Thai basil, and long beans — sourced through regional distributors that supply San Diego's restaurant trade. The meat and seafood counter processes custom cuts and carries whole fish, shrimp, and pork belly, while the prepared-food case sells house-made egg rolls that customers across the El Cajon Boulevard corridor cite as a signature draw. Vegetarian and mock-meat products include tofu, tempeh, and soy-based protein alternatives for the plant-based cooking community near SDSU. Manager Ted Lieu runs a staff of roughly 10 to 19 employees across a seven-day operating schedule in the 92115 ZIP. The store's four-decade run on El Cajon Boulevard predates the newer chain supermarkets that serve the Asian grocery segment in San Diego, and its product mix overlaps with the halal-and-international inventory at University Halal Market farther east on the same boulevard. Mae Ploy curry paste, Huy Fong sriracha, and house-packaged dried goods round out an inventory built for home cooks preparing Vietnamese pho, Thai curries, and Chinese stir-fry dishes.
