They have almost every ingredient you need for authentic Asian dishes. I cook a lot of Korean food and they have even the most niche items I need. Saves me a lot of time and money verses trying to purchase items online

I quite enjoy this establishment, Ive been trying all kinds of new things however I saw some mangosteen there that was $28 I asked the gal at the check out if they were ripe and ready to eat she said yes. I brought them home. They were very difficult to open and the flesh that was supposed to be white was brown and mushy. I called to ask if I could get a refund or trade it out for something else and I was told if the bag was open I couldnt trade. Im very disappointed because this fruit was expensive....I think they shouldnt put out spoiled fruit but maybe I shouldve done my research and looked at how theyre supposed to look. Oh well now I know. Im still gonna shop there.

Always a favorite. I stock up on spices that I love, sometimes get sweet treats and always try something new to me when I come in. The food they serve is so Delicious! Oh, and you can order a Boba tea to walk around with and shop. This store has so many things!

Such a variety of foods, great quality and for great prices. The staff doesnt all speak English too well but they know what theyre doing! I recommend bringing a translator app if you are just browsing because alot of the products are in Chinese or viatnamese, but if you know what youre looking for the store layout makes it easy to find what your looking for. Theres always new product when you first walk in as well as fresh fruits like mango, durian, and dragon fruit or sometimes lychee. You can find some popular snacks and treats too like daifuku, yanyan or Pocky or the middle isle for your salty/savory snacks. The far left isles for ramen, the far right for frozen foods or veggies. Just right under the centennial bridge, go take a look!

Love this place! Always have what I need. I would say the only thing is they don’t always have prices available on the shelves or on products.

Pretty nice store. My main complaint would be how chaotic some shelves are and the lack of prices on some items, it drives me nuts as someone who likes to know how much Im spending

Review №28

One of my favorite places to shop. They have new things to try every time I stop by, as well as consistent staples that I keep coming back for.I have friends who come in just to stock up on the wide variety of noodles they have on the far left side of the store, way better than your average grocery store ramen, and I love the more unusual seafood in the freezer section. Its the only place I know in town where I can get a whole octopus or prawns the size of my hand.Great place for congoers to stock up on snacks like mochi, ramune, pocky, dried squid, and bean buns during Anime-Zing for half the price of buying them at the vendor hall.And speaking of bean buns, if you happen to be there when they have their bean creme buns in stock, GRAB SOME. The cream inside is like a cross between whipped cream and honey butter, mildly sweet and sooo fluffy. When they have them they sell out pretty fast.And a good tip for shopping I wish someone wouldve told me; the google translate app has a mode that will automatically detect the language of whatever you point the camera at and translate it for you. This is excellent for reading labels, as you dont have to know what the base language is or have the kanji available on your keyboard. It opens up a lot of possibilities.

I stopped in there a few days ago to pick up some supplies. Their selection is quite good, although not well organized. My main complaint is that the business is not following safety guidelines during COVID. Employees were not masked. I got in and out of there promptly.

Bought a pack on noodles from there and found bo weevils inside of the bag. I took everything back and was met with a curt and rude man. I never write bad reviews for places but this was unacceptable. Really sad because I enjoy Oriental food and love to cook it. But I can no longer shop there until they make some changes.

Good selection of food. On this day, I went to Pho 9999, the restaurant inside of it. Small area and only open on the weekends. I had a delicious pho with meat in it. Loaded it up with sprouts and whatever green stuff they gave me. Was very disappointed when I was finished because I wanted more. Would definitely return to try other things on their menu.

I appreciate having oriental foods so readily available and nearby. The store is well organized, with wide aisles and lots of refrigeration. I purchased fresh ginger today, and it was stored under refrigeration. Noticed fresh, live crabs for sale, too. Very friendly clerk checked me out. [Credit card usage only for amounts of $10 or more.]

Fairly well stocked Oriental grocery store. Many items are not labeled in English, so some items are surprises when you open or prepare them for meals. Prices are my main reason for shopping here. In some circumstances, 25% compared to larger grocery chain stores.

Review №92

Horrible experience here! I bought shrimp paste their and when I opened it up it was covered in mold and I realized that the experiation date said 10/2015!!! I only wanted to exchange it and they told me no because thats how its supposed to look like and that shrimp paste never expires. Keep in mind Ive bought shrimp paste before, so I know how it looks like and the texture of it. After a little arguing the lady told me I was allowed to exchange it. I go to look for another one and it turns out every single one on their shelf was expired already, so at this point I ask for my money back and they wouldnt allow it. They told me to grab a different brand that was way less then what I paid for. I demand them to pay me back the difference and they refused until I made a scene! I will NEVER go back there again. I rather drive 20 minutes to another Asian store then to get expired food products. What a health hazard to everyone! This is NOT okay.

Lots of good Asian food and the bubble tea is good too. Only problem is the straw is smaller diameter than the pearls (almost collapsed a lung trying to get it) and the tea is not reliably available. Some days theres no tea :(
