Known Mr Lee for Years..still has best prices.He was one of the first oriental stores around . Growing up in an Asian family we visited quite often and would enjoy the free Rice candy he would give us.

Mr. Li is very knowledgeable about the products he sells, especially the teas for lowering cholesterol and blood sugar naturally. Going away from Western medicine and greedy doctors to better health and wellness using traditional Chinese medicine and natural products. 6000 yrs of empirical data and the FDA dismisses it.I think we all know who the real LIARS are.Come get healthy with fresh produce, delicious medicinal teas. Boost your immune system naturally.

Looks like nothing but go inside, down stairs to a really great Asian grocery store. Good prices. Nice man runs it. Great place to shop for hard to find Asian ingredients.

Its a small, quiet place with a good selection of items, but the prices arent labeled, so theres a bit of guesswork required.

This is absolutely my favorite Asian market in Greenville.When you walk in, you first think youre in the wrong place - its like a curio shop with trinkets and tea sets and karate gear. But at the back of the store is a staircase leading down to a huge Asian grocery. Its clean, bright, well-organized, and well-stocked. The owner, Mr. Li, is friendly, knowledgeable and an absolute delight to talk to.As with many Asian markets, the aisles are organized by country of origin, and Ive found many products there that Ive never seen at any other market. The prices are also lower than most competing markets.I cant rate this place highly enough.

Clean store, good customer service, but I find the merchandise to be expensive for the quality.

I love shopping all the oriental markets in Greenville, but this one is my favorite. When you go, the grocery shop is downstairs, so walk in and head straight for the back. The stairs are to the right. They have so so many things that are hard to find at other Asian grocers, and the food is fresh. They also carry all the hard to find Japanese snacks that I adore. Plus the staff is super friendly! I always love making a trip to Oriental Imports.

Very interesting place they have a cute little shop when you first walk in and then you realize they have a market downstairs! I found all the things i needed to make a bubble tea. The man that was working here was so nice !

A great little store with supplies for M.A. as well as a fantastic Asian market on the lower floor. Mr. Lee is always happy to help and has been a supporter of our local karate schools for over 15 years. Highly recommend this store.

Really great little gem that has a lot of good stuff. I havent been there in awhile but the helpful owner is checking everything out downstairs now. Also, the back door around the building is open. The review with the name Dawn under this one with a 1 star clearly has no idea what shes talking about.

When you first walk in, looks can be deceiving. If you head downstairs its like walking into a dream. Very neat and clean with a huge selection.

Review №19

Really cool store! The upstairs is mostly imported non-food items (sake cups, martial arts uniforms, Chinese holistic medicines, etc...) but the downstairs is a legit Asian supermarket with all sorts of foodstuffs that youd expect to find in a store like that. Good selection of some unusual fish and seafoods in the freezers. The man who runs it is super nice, I asked him if they carried whole ducks (they do) and he led me to the back freezer where they were. So if you dont see something you want, ask; they might have it in the back. Again, really nice dude, really cool store, good selection and good prices.

Review №21

One of Laurens Roads best kept secrets. Dont let the old small exterior or grungy strip mall fool you the subterranean market is HUGE, youll feel like Harry Potter in Diagon Alley, it must extend beyond the upstairs floor plan.The prices are great they have everything. Tip if youre looking for veggies they have a lot more inside the walk-in-fridge so dont be shy explore and ask questions as the probably have exactly what you need.

I love this store very much. It has my favorite noodles, snack cakes, and I love the people who work there. I thought I would feel like an oddity but they were very happy to help me out and happy to just chit chat.

Have been studying on making sushi. My son and I visited here and when we walked in I didnt see any food or staff, just nic nacks and Asian medicine. Then from the back of the store a man came to us and I told him about my desire to make sushi and he led us to the back of the store and down stairs to a well stocked Asian grocery store. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. The grocery items were fairly priced. I highly recommend.
