It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always.
They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.
However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting the historic The Yorba Slaughter Families Adobe gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.
Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Chino Hills, CA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.
When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.
The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.
At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.
Common home helper care services include assistance with:
Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite local activities, such as visiting English Springs Park with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Owen's Bistro or visit Chino's Old Schoolhouse Museum, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.
At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.
If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.
Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.
In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.
How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?
A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.
With the help of elderly care in Chino Hills, CA, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.
Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.
Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.
For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.
More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.
In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.
With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.
In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.
Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.
At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.
In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:
When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.
Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.
At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Chino Hills, CA understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.
Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.
Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.
While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.
Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.
At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.
Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:
At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.
Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.
Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:
For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.
The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care Care Coordinator. This initial consultation is crucial for our team to learn more about you or your elderly loved one to discover the level of care required. Topics of this consultation typically include:
A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
Our caregivers are trained to spot changes that clients exhibit, like mental and physical decline. As your trusted senior care company, we will constantly assess and update your Care Plan to meet any new emotional, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.
If you have never considered in-home care before, we understand that you and your family may have concerns about your Care Plan and its Care Coordinator. To help give you peace of mind, know that every team member and caregiver must undergo comprehensive training before being assigned to a Care Plan.
At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Chino Hills, CA 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.
When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

Take a scenic drive to Chino Hills, California, and you might take a turn that will suddenly make you feel like you have been transported to ancient Egypt or possibly . Located about 35 miles from Downtown Los Angeles, the Commons Shopping Center on Chino Hills Parkway has a striking replica of an ancient Egyptian temple. The original temples in Abu Simbel were reportedly built in the 1200s B.C. during the reign of Ramesses II and, like many ancient landmarks, are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The shopping center statue recreates the image of Pharaoh Ramesses II and his wife Queen Nefertari, as seen in the original temple. Accompanied by a sign promoting everyday shopping center stores, the structure was designed to be the centerpiece of the complex, showcasing an unconventional design for a restaurant called Farou Foods. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic, which negatively impacted many destinations, delayed the development of the structure and the restaurant's opening. There has been no word on when or if the plans will resume, but for now, it's become a quirky stop when driving through Chino Hills.

A tense encounter at a local dog park in Chino Hills, California, erupted into chaos this week when a man provoked a pitbull with a cold stare, sparking a viral debate over dog behavior, owner responsibility, and what one Redditor perfectly described as “a bit of cockinness inviting unnecessary risk.” But did the man actually have a point?The video (first shared on ...
A tense encounter at a local dog park in Chino Hills, California, erupted into chaos this week when a man provoked a pitbull with a cold stare, sparking a viral debate over dog behavior, owner responsibility, and what one Redditor perfectly described as “a bit of cockinness inviting unnecessary risk.” But did the man actually have a point?
The video (first shared on TikTok) shows a man intentionally aggravating an unleashed pitbull by locking eyes with it and standing stiffly in its path. What follows is a whole load of shouting owners, a lunging dog, and a man –dubbed a “whack job” by those filming– determined to prove the pitbull is untrained, unsafe, and poses a threat to his service dog.
The man stands his ground despite repeated pleas from other dog park users. One woman can be heard yelling at him to walk away, while he accuses the pitbull’s owners of negligence and claims they are endangering others by refusing to leash a dog exhibiting aggressive behavior.
Interestingly, despite the video clearly having been uploaded to showcase the man’s supposed misbehavior, the incident has sharply divided viewers. On one side: dog park regulars and bystanders who felt the man was instigating a potentially violent reaction from the dog. On the other hand, plenty on Reddit users argue that, uncomfortable as it was to watch, he actually had a point.
“Guess what, if that dog bites him there is a good probability the dog will be put down. But filming it is more important? More than one idiot here…” wrote Felonious_Minx.
“That is because he is actually correct,” added GREGOR_CLEGAIN. “The pitbull owners showed that they are incompetent dog owners and incapable of controlling their dog if its aggression is triggered.”
Several commenters pointed out the stark contrast in behavior between the man’s dog and the pitbull, who visibly reacted to the man’s presence. Others criticized the dog’s owners for failing to de-escalate the situation by simply leashing the animal and walking away.
“You can be right and still have to pick your dog up in a box,” noted U_PassButter, encapsulating the concern that ego may have taken precedence over safety—for both humans and dogs involved.
The incident has reignited perennial debates over pitbulls, a breed often at the center of controversy. While some insist that the individual behavior of any dog reflects its training and environment, others argue that certain breeds require more rigorous handling and awareness, particularly in public spaces.
In the video, one of the pitbull’s owners defends her dog, insisting it is “the happiest pitbull,” even as it lunges toward the man. To many viewers, that disconnect was part of the problem.
“If your dog shows aggression and the first thing you do isn’t to completely remove the dog from the situation, you absolutely shouldn’t have that kind of dog running free,” wrote RedNog, echoing a sentiment that ran through dozens of top comments.
For many, this incident was less about dog breeds and more about a failure in judgment, on all sides.
“He’s trying to get the dog to bite him purposefully,” speculated one Redditor, while another dryly observed, “Cesar Millan would never stare down a dog he didn’t know.”
Some called the man a “whack job.” Others felt the real problem was that owners were more concerned with being right than being responsible.
As one of the top-rated comments summarized:
“Control your dog before you try to control a random stranger.”
In the end, no one was bitten, but the thread continues to chew through the ethics of the situation. Whether the man’s stare-down was reckless provocation or a dramatic (if clumsy) protest against negligent ownership, few things draw lines in the sand like dogs, public parks, and people who think they’re the alpha.
The city’s “new constitution” that will guide Chino Hills for the next 20 years was approved Tuesday by the Planning Commission, including a chapter on housing that will have a heavy impact on the ambience of several neighborhoods including Carbon Canyon, the hills and ranchland along Woodview Road, the Los Serranos Golf Course, and even The Shoppes.“This is a very consequential step we have taken tonight,” Commissioner Mike Stover said. “We have taken a number of enabling steps to further increase ...
The city’s “new constitution” that will guide Chino Hills for the next 20 years was approved Tuesday by the Planning Commission, including a chapter on housing that will have a heavy impact on the ambience of several neighborhoods including Carbon Canyon, the hills and ranchland along Woodview Road, the Los Serranos Golf Course, and even The Shoppes.
“This is a very consequential step we have taken tonight,” Commissioner Mike Stover said. “We have taken a number of enabling steps to further increase the probability of development in new areas of Chino Hills.”
The city has been working on the General Plan update since 2020 when meetings were held to decide where to put state-mandated housing units.
As part of the state housing allocation process, Chino Hills must plan to accommodate 3,729 housing units over an eight-year period that began in 2021 and will end in 2029.
Of that number, 59 percent (or 2,209 units) must be “affordable housing,” but the state allows most cities in Southern California, including Chino Hills and Chino, to use the “default density” which is 30 housing units per acre.
“We are compelled into that density by state law,” Community Development Director Nick Liguori said.
This means that Chino Hills must zone enough sites at a density of no less than 30 dwelling units per acre to qualify as suitable for “affordable” housing, according to the housing chapter.
Mr. Liguori said that under the default density, developers cannot be forced by the city to build affordable housing units.
“It’s very complicated,” he said. “There are new laws coming out every year that try to create more incentives to developers so that they can build more affordable units.”
Of the 20 sites that have been identified by the city, the neighborhoods off Pipeline Avenue including homes near and on Bayberry Drive, Woodview Road, Medlar Lane, and the former Heaven’s Ranch property will be among the most seriously impacted.
Woodview Road
A portion of the 177-acre Wang property that for decades have remained rolling hillsides dotted with grazing cattle off Pipeline Avenue behind Woodview Road will eventually contain 423 housing units to be built in two areas.
On the very high-density portion, 148 housing units will be constructed on 7.3 acres at a density of 20 to 30 units per acre, and on the medium density portion, 275 housing units will be built on 30.5 acres at a density of 9 units per acre.
The two-lane rural Woodview Road between Pipeline and Peyton Drive will be realigned.
Three residents who live on Bayberry asked the commission how the project will impact the natural creek that runs through their properties and if they will be able to continue to access their backyards from Woodview Road.
They were also concerned about fires and evacuation routes.
Rebecca Rangel said the wooded area, which was once thick with healthy eucalyptus groves, has steadily declined over the last 40 years. “We’re losing our owls, woodpeckers, and the sound of frogs and crickets,” she said. “Everything we enjoyed is going away.”
Commissioner Jerry Blum said the Wang property is a sensitive area that will require an environmental impact report, site plans, and studies. “Issues including water, fire, and sewer will be reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council,” he said. “It will be critical for you and your neighbors to review the plans prior to the meetings.”
Mr. Blum said there is no current application for development.
Mr. Liguori said the notification radius for the surrounding neighborhoods will extend beyond the required 300 feet. As for the concerns about the creek and other current issues, Mr. Liguori said he will ask the public works director to reach out to the residents.
Canyon Estates
On the 379-acre ranchland owned by the Galstian Family Trust where Heaven’s Ranch thrived for 15 years off Woodview Road, south of the Wang property, an application has already been received by the city for a 326-unit development called Canyon Estates consisting of 166 single-family homes on 89 acres and 160 townhouses on 13.4 acres.
The project will include two neighborhood parks, 210 acres of natural open space, and a debris basin.
The address of Canyon Estates will be 3300 Woodview Road on the west end of Soquel Canyon Parkway.
This development will trigger the extension of Soquel Canyon Parkway where it ends at Pipeline to traverse west, go through the project, and connect at Medlar Lane, west of Peyton Drive.
Golf courses
The Los Serranos Golf Course and the Western Hills Golf Course are designated for high-density housing on a portion of the courses.
The city has been reviewing an application and site plan submitted by Lewis Management Corp. to redevelop 8.8 acres on the south portion of the Western Hills Golf Course in Carbon Canyon into 90 duplex units and 97 stacked flat units, for a total of 187 multi-family units.
The project will be called “Western Hills Residences.”
Residents in adjacent neighborhoods, particularly in the Western Hills Estates Mobile Home community that borders the golf course, are worried about evacuation during a fire and more cars on Fairway Drive that leads into their community.
The project will include a leasing office, community pool, 68 resident parking spots and 62 guest parking spots.
Los Serranos Golf Course will also change dramatically when 532 housing units are built on 21 acres on the northern end of the course closest to Pipeline Avenue—another big change in the look of southbound Pipeline between Woodview and Soquel Canyon Parkway.
The development is proposed by Jack Greening who owns Los Serranos Golf Course and Los Serranos Mobile Home Park.
A preliminary application has been submitted for the golf course but it is at a very conceptual stage, said Mr. Liguori.
Mr. Greening will also expand his mobile home park to include a gated community of 354 apartments on 29.5 acres south of the lake to be called “Rancho Cielito.” One-third of the units will be accessible to seniors because of elevators that will be built.
The city council approved the project in 2022 after several meetings where residents expressed concern about the impact on wildlife and the configuration of Pipeline Avenue and Los Serranos Boulevard.
The Commons
A “mixed-use” development consisting of 300-high density residential units and retail is planned for The Commons shopping center on the southwest corner of Chino Hills Parkway and Ramona Avenue.
High-density residential units will be built on top of retail on parcels 5 and 3: parcel 3 is vacant land and parcel 5 is the closed Toys R Us as well as a vacant finished pad south of Toys R Us that was previously entitled to 50,000-square feet of retail big box.
A representative told the city in 2021 that the project would offer a “new, unique housing alternative and allow for a live-work relationship with the surrounding area.”
A traffic nightmare may be waiting, however, when the Chino Creek Apartments are built directly across the street from Lucille’s at The Commons. Last year, the City of Chino approved a four-story apartment complex that will be packed with 36 units per acre, the first apartment complex of its kind, with 15 units reserved for very low income households.
For these apartments, east of Frosty’s Christmas Tree lot, only one parking stall will initially be provided for each apartment, and an additional space will be assigned on a first-come first served basis to two-bedroom units.
The Shoppes
It may be hard to visualize 267 housing units proposed on 5.7 acres that will be built on top of retail stores in the southeastern portion of The Shoppes in another “mixed-use” development. This proposal would allow housing to be built above the ground-floor retail stores.
The project was strongly opposed by former Chino Hills resident Jeff Vaka who said the housing would have a detrimental effect on The Shoppes which is a destination place where people eat dinner, shop, and have lunch.
During the proceedings in 2021, it was suggested by the Shoppes that the proposal could involve the relocation of existing tenants and the buyout of others.
Shoppes II
The City of Chino Hills released a request for qualifications to see if there is an interest from developers for The Shoppes II site, Mr. Liguori said.
Shoppes II is an eight-acre unused parking lot at City Center Drive, adjacent to the Chino Valley Fire District headquarters, where 744 units are slated.
Commissioner Stover remarked, “That’s a total of 1,011 housing units in The Shoppes vicinity. That’s a significant number.”
There are three projects that can be considered truly “affordable housing:” the two Habitat for Humanity houses underway on Fairway Boulevard, and the 50-unit senior housing project slated for the Community Park overflow lot, which will impact the Eucalyptus Avenue/Peyton Drive intersection.
At the end of the housing discussion, Mr. Ligouri said the General Plan represents a balance between what the citizens of Chino Hills have come to expect when it comes to the preservation of open space, scenic vistas and quality of life “while doing the best we can to achieve the mandates the state has placed not only upon our city but all cities in California.”

Canada-based Asian grocery store T&T Supermarket is on an expansion tear. After announcing its first Southern California location in Irvine in April, the cult-favorite chain just announced plans for a Chino Hills store, set to open in fall 2026.
T&T, which sells specialty Asian groceries, imported snacks, and Beijing duck, opened its first U.S. location in Bellevue, Washington, in December 2024. Since the opening, the market chain has announced plans to expand to the Bay Area with locations in San Francisco and San Jose. Currently, T&T operates more than 38 stores across Canada and the United States. T&T specializes in Chinese groceries, similar to what would be expected at a store like 99 Ranch, but also has some crossover with shops like Seafood City, H-Mart, and Nijiya, where Japanese, Korean, and Filipino goods will be found on the shelves. The dedication of T&T Supermarket’s fanbase could be compared to that of H-Mart, which saw hours-long lines and lion dancers at its long-awaited Las Vegas debut.
Papa chicken. T&T Supermarket
When the Chino Hills store opens, expect aisles lined with crinkly bags of hot pot-flavored Lays, Calbee shrimp chips, chilled chicken feet, and Shanghai bok choy. The seafood section will offer live crabs on ice, sashimi-grade fish, imitation crab, shrimp, abalone, and more. But it’s the hot food section that has gained the store its dedicated following, with its Beijing duck and crispy fried chicken. Taiwanese-style rice rolls and Chinese crepes will be available made to order, alongside sushi, and a self-serve hot bar. In the bakery section, find egg tarts, red bean buns, and lava mochi puffs. The supermarket will also sell Asian beauty products, as well as soju, sake, and Asian wine.
When T&T opens in Chino Hills, it’ll join existing Asian grocery stores, including H-Mart and 99 Ranch, in the region. But with its fresh roast duck, wide selection of snacks, and established fanbase that has even produced a few TikToks, it’s sure to be a hit in the neighborhood.
T&T Supermarket will open in fall 2026 at 1307-13021 Peyton Drive, Chino Hills, CA 91709.
