Where to buy Sambal oelek in SF?

I am using this hot chile paste for a crab salad. Does anyone know where to buy it (no luck at Safeway or Bi-Rite) or have a brand they prefer?

    Try rainbow grocery. I have been buying sambal oelek there. They are made inSF, so local product.

        That's odd. I buy it at the Safeway at Lake Tahoe and also in So. Oregon. Who'd a thunk that they wouldn't have it in SF?

          Actually they do now. They sell that Huy Fong brand at Safeway for about $3. This company is based in Rosemead, California in SoCal: http://www.huyfong.com/no_frames/oele...

            You can probably find it at one of the Asian markets on Clement (New May Wah at 8th Ave has a large selection of SE Asian items) or at a Ranch 99.
