Prepare to be amazed. All kinds of rice in medium, large and giant bags. Lots of Vietnamese items as well. Probably the best fish market I have ever seen, assuming you are into preparing whole fish, although they did have some salmon steaks and some other cut up fish. Clams, squid, crabs and scallops too. Shark, skate and the usual fishy suspects. The live carp were a bit much for me, but knock yourself out. Then on to the butchers. More organ meats than I knew existed, like pork uteri. (If you are studying anatomy, heres a great opportunity for you). Lots of liver and kidneys, tongues, tripe, pork belly, frozen duck, etc. Lots of vegetables, including king mushrooms that I have never seen before. In spite of what others said during the pandemic, the vegetables looked reasonably fresh. Turkey Hill ice cream in the freezer. Vietnamese coffee, Japanese chocolate, lots of tea. There was not a lot of dark soy sauce, but lots of light including Kikkoman, my general standard and Kimlan, plus lots of other sauces that may or may not be useful to you. There is a row of housewares and dishes and cooking utensils and pots. The people were very helpful and courteous, and happy to speak English for us round-eyes.

So grateful this grocery store exists in Lancaster! Their fresh Asian produce stock is excellent - there are veggies there that I ate growing up and didnt even know the names of in English, and which my parents had to grow in the backyard because we couldnt get them anywhere. Their meats are well priced and true to form, extremely wide ranging. The store is huge but also clean and well organized. Checkout staff are super fast and friendly. Perhaps best of all the grocery store contains the best Asian restaurant in probably all of the east coast - Chili Szechuan. This is an Asian persons paradise in the middle of central PA.

Hidden gem in Lancaster. They have alot to offer here including a small dining area where they sell hot food and Boba. The food is way better than any middle-of-the-road standard americanized chinese restaurants. Full of flavor and good level of spice to them. Will definitely come back.

Went there to check out the place, a bit far for me but it has lots of stuff from food, to kitchen gadgets, etc.They sell live fish, lobster, blue crab (thats what we saw there today), they also have a bakery but there was nothing there today🤨😠

Great selection of Asian products and produce are fresh, staff are very helpful. MUST check expiration rate on the package carefully and your RECEIPT before leaving the store. The cashier put in wrong barcode and charged me different price on something I didn’t buy. Called to complain, the owner was nice to ask me bring back the item and will fix it. But it’s not worth the trip

This is a great Asian grocery store! They always have everything I want and more. Plus they have a great takeout restaurant inside as well. :-)

I usually go shop there for my supplies but the employees there are rude and not friendly. You will never see those people smile or greet you. I stood at the meat counter and waited for more than 5 minutes. There was three men behind the counter cutting meat. They totally ignored me. I dont need to shop there if they are this rude.

By far the best Asian grocery store I have ever been to. My mother says it is better than some stores in Hong Kong where she lived for a year.

They have everything I need, and the best bubble tea around. Hands down. Update:8/8/21- had another great bubble tea flavor, orange green tea, exotic taste yet familiar for some reason. While I was there today,I ordered from the small restaurant next to Bleu, and it was fantastic. The shredded pork extra spicy was flavorful and tender, and the prawns in black bean sauce were expertly cooked to tender and firm, not tough or mushy.absolutely delicious. The fresh ingredients right from the supermarket ensure that the dishes are fantastic.

Nice authentic Asian grocery in Lancaster, PA. They pretty much have everything for your Asian cooking needs. Great selection of noodles, sauces, vegetables, etc. Probsbly have to drive an hour or 2 toward DC to find better selection.

A great place to get Chinese food and snacks as well as ingredients for making Asian dishes. I was amazed at the amount and variety of groceries available. I was able to get dragon fruit and some of my favorite snacks called want want. Definitely plan to go again.

Large Asian market offering everything you need to prepare most any Asian dish. Fresh produce including a good selection of fresh herbs. Multiple brands of every product such as noodles, rice, sauces, etc. allow you to be brand specific if you have a preference.Fresh fish and a soon to be completed round out this new addition to the local market scene.

Very clean, huge selection, great service, and excellent prices! I stocked up on a lot of pantry staples and bought tons of fresh produce and some nice cuts of meat at prices that are lower than anywhere else in my area. Since the prices are so good, I picked up lots of things Ive been wanting to try, but couldnt find or couldnt afford. Definitely worth the trip!

Review №39

Today was my 1st experience at this market. The people were friendly and the food is quite good. Im only giving 2 stars due to the condition of the bathroom. No toilet paper in the stall and didnt look like it was stocked or cleaned for a few days. Walked out of the bathroom with slightly damp pants. Ill be sure to use a bathroom at a different facility before I come there again.

Very good selection of products. Produce, fish, large shrimp, and more. Also a Chinese restaurant in the store.The produce is inexpensive, mostly seconds that need consumed within a few days. But usually ripe and ready to eat.They have been here 8 months.

I come here all the time and the folks couldnt be friendlier! I love that I can find authentic Asian foods and ingredients for dishes. I cant even get peppers close to hot enough anywhere else!Last weekend, I noticed theyre hiring and pay cashiers $14/hour, which is quite a bit more than some of the local chain grocers. I appreciate businesses that compensate their employees fairly and believe it makes for a stronger workforce when folks feel happy and fairly treated in their work place. Its worth the trip!

They have fully stocked shelves of anything youre looking for pertaining to Asian Cuisine. Many items that are not available at your regular grocery store including fresh produce, fish, noodles, and meat. Its very crowded on the weekend though, youll have to stand in line waiting to pay for your items.

Review №55

Be diligent on the price and what you are purchasing there. I was cheated couple of times:Incident one --- I found that there were couple of beef bones packed in the pig ears, assuming for weight.Incident two --- The casher did not put my purchased item in my grocery bag. I found it after I went home.Incident three --- The casher charged higher price than what is listed.Incident five --- They sell foods past expiration date.I will report to authority if similar thing happens again and make sure they will pay some well deserved high fine.

The third Asian market in the Lancaster area. This is the newest and best one. The aisles are roomy and the selection vast enough to host several types of cuisine. Added bonus that they have the best boba joint in all of Lancaster hosted inside (Bleu).

Great stuff they have albeit a bit pricey. Its understandable since its imported stuff.They got most of the stuff I want, minus a brand of Vietnamese instant coffee thats always sold out every time I go but no biggie.Cashiers are very kind and quick with their work, and theyve even got a dine-in restaurant??Their shop handled COVID-19 very well, and while not as crowded as supermarkets, all shoppers tend to wear masks including the employees.All around good Asian marketplace with a somewhat steep price for some goods that you wouldnt find anywhere else, especially if youre looking to do actual grocery shopping here.

This is a great place to go they have excellent prices! We live almost an hour away but go as often as possible but you just cant find the speciality items they have anywhere else. Their yams and purple potatoes are fantastic. Not to mention the many different assortments of rice including black rice. Its one of the few places where you can find sour tamrid and a great assortment of fresh fish.

If you are a foodies you must check out the Asian Center Supermarket. It is authentic! From the vegetables, to the fish stand and dont miss the Peking duck in the restaurant area. This is a great place to acquire those hard to find items for your favorite Asian recipes. I have found many of the sauces and various items such pickled diakon radish really complement non Asian recipes.
