This has got to be the most immaculate international market Ive ever been. The best selection of food in the area, and probably our favorite place to shop! The gentleman who mans the front is extremely friendly, and we just love it here. If I could rate 10 stars, I would.

Some of the best variety of any of the other Asian markets in the area, the prices are a little high but the sheer volume of what they have is unmatched.

This place is awesome! Great variety of items. Fresh seafood (living). I live 35 minutes away and hate driving Patton. I love this place so much Ill drive Patton twice a week to get there.

Another great place for Asian food and such. My wife loves to get her Philippine coffee here. Also, the ingredients to make Lumpia. The only drawback is the odor of seafood. If youre not prepared, it will knock you back a few feet. A facemask mandate is a good idea for the store, even without covid restrictions. But I love strolling through the aisles and looking at the many types of Asian food and food products. They will pack your food in boxes, so recycle your cardboard yall.

Honestly one of the best asian stores I came across in western NC. They have so much stuff inside and even live fish and crabs for sale. I never saw that in Morganton. The store is also very organized and clean and the people there are quite nice to be around.

The most complete Asian market in Asheville. They pretty much have a selection from every country on the continent. The prices are more than fair given the nature and quality of their goods and the owner is super helpful and never makes me feel like a burden with all the questions and translations Im constantly asking. Love this store! 8 stars!

Simply the best locally owned Japanese and Asian food store, more variety and imported goods than you could ever ask for, as well as a large collection and assortment of incredibly fresh seafood and produce.A wonderful place to pick up savory Japanese sweets, or maybe a few niche items for a lovely dinner.

Love this place. They have about a thousand different kinds of ramen, and basically a whole freezer wall dedicated to frozen gyoza dumplings. They sell fresh produce that you cant usually get anywhere else like enoki mushrooms, and they have live fish and fresh butchered meat. Dont forget to look at the candy. Great place!

I love this place! The staff are friendly and helpful, but they also dont follow you around as you shop, which sometimes happens in small businesses (which I get, but it makes me nervous) They have the best selection of any Asian market I think Ive ever been in short of a full-size grocery store I visited in Raleigh.Sometimes they have fresh bread from a bakery based in Atlanta I think and sandwiches; I havent had the sandwiches, but the bread is fantastic! They also have the most reasonable prices on imported food Ive seen to date.Most stuff is cheaper than the grocery stores if you buy it from them, and if youre into Asian snacks, you know about the markups that stuff suffers. Im sure theres still a markup because otherwise you couldnt make a profit, but its still easily the cheapest Ive seen.YZ has been here about seven months or so, and they have worked really hard to make it their store as awesome as possible, and it shows. If you want to try Asian cooking at all, they have all the stuff youll need. I havent gone in search of something yet and come back empty handed.

Review №71

They sold me expired sauce from 2017 and when I come back the man would not apologize and still wanted me to pay an additional $2 for the substitution. Got out of there less than pleased. Check the expiration, and owners, please work on your relationship with customers.

One star for sure. I went because if the average 4.5 star in google and now I doubt if that is fake! The store is rundown and many of the items I picked up are expired or very close to expire. It is very small and don’t have many selections at all. Wouldn’t recommend.
