About Hocean 八達貿易行

Four decades of sourcing the Pacific Rim — the story behind every page of this catalog.

Our story

From family trading house to full-line distributor

Founded in 1985 as a family trading house in Los Angeles, Hocean imports and distributes more than 700 Asian grocery products to the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Every item in this catalog was selected by buyers who travel across the Pacific Rim in search of quality — and every page is backed by four decades of service to supermarkets, restaurants, and institutions.
