Great store to get your Asian ingredients that you need with a good selection of products.... but be warned... there bathroom is HORRIFIC... DIRTY... and UNSANITARY. Hench the two stars reading......We are frequent costumers to that store so use your own bathroom before going and if you got to go... run across the street to McDonalds... other then that its a great store with plenty of products but the prices have gone up since COVID has hit.

Great selection but...check your receipt and and keep an eye on the cashier during checkout! They dont have pricing on many items so you have no idea how much they are. Youll have to ask but they they give out different prices for different people. I know because my friend and I pay different prices on the same item. They purposely dont list out what is on the receipt so if you buy a lot, you will have a hard time figuring how much each item cost. You cant see what is being charged during check out because they have the screen turning in the direction that has the light reflection. It is really hard to see. The cashier will punch really fast so sometimes she punches in more qty than what you buy. Shed apologize if you call her out but she somehow never make the mistake of charging you less. Go for what you need but only buy 5 items or less.

Theres been many occasions where they enter the wrong price at check out. They dont disclose the product names on the receipt - it just reads product for every item so you dont even remember which product is which. And if the older lady recommends an item to you - DO NOT PURCHASE. She only recommends items that she wants to get rid of because they are either spoiled or expired.

One of my most favorite places for groceries. Clean store and friendly staff. Great spot to get instant noodles by the case and large bags of rice. My grandmother is very fond of the bahn mi there. I love to go for their sauces, tofu, and fresh vegetables. I love seeing what sticky rice cakes they have for the day.

This was a great find in Lancaster and I wish it was in New York! They have an incredible selection of Asian products a number of which Ive never seen in New York City. I picked up unusual rice paper for making summer rolls. They had prepared Vietnamese foods which I would have liked to have bought but we were traveling back to New York City. I look forward to visiting this place again when Im back in Lancaster.

I have been going to shop this Asian grocery every month and they have many Asian stuffs from Korea, Vietnam, and Thailand. I thought the price is cheaper than other and they offer on sale dry foods. I drive from York because their price is as same as a wholesale when you buy a lot.

Posted prices are cheaper and good brands, but receipts dont list item names, just product number, which can be abused.

This has been a long time Asian market the first one in Lancaster and the area. I remember when they first opened in a tiny corner store location on N Franklin St. At that time they had everything too but there were mobility issues. I got tossed out the window a couple times by people looking to get frozen shrimp in the back. Glad to see this hard working family is still around to provide nice and fresh Asian food to the good people of Lancaster.

I visit this store every week for last 16 years of my living in Lancaster. Samantha is very nice bilingual lady. I always get all food information from her if I need. The store has unique Asian food that you cannot get in other Lancasters stores. For example, I buy long eggplants, lemon grass, tofu, all kinds of sauces, coconut milk and much more. Last year I got a calendar for a present, I hope to get one calendar for this coming 2018 year.

Asian markets are a God send. Im grateful its not far from where I live and it has lots of things for less than a chain grocery store. The cashier was extremely pleasant and helpful! I thoroughly appreciated her help and suggestions.

This is a warning! Do NOT come to this store if you want to be accused of stealing. While ringing up a few items, there was a box of coconut that was too heavy, so I left it in the cart. I was about to tell her to just ring it up. Instead of asking, she walked around out to check if I left anything in the cart. Then tried to charge me for a snack I brought in from outside. Instead of asking, she acted like we trying to steal a big a$$ box that is in your face and a .99 snack. Yeah I am going to pay $50 for everything else and steal a .99 snack. Not only that, she never apologized for being rude and ignorant. So go to the other Asians stores around the area and save yourself the frustration and embarrassment. Would give no star!

WARNING!!! Worst place ever! I grew up going to this store because there was no other Asian stores around and they just get worse and worse! They used so kind and friendly but now they are all rude and arrogant. I watched 5 customers behind me go first because they opened the register next to me and my things were already on the conveyor belt. The lady in front of me took forever because she kept needing more things and going back to grab more stuff while I just waited...I understand friends and catching up but you don’t start ringing up a new customer, stop, and ring up your friends groceries again. Also while I was waiting, the cashier’s husband kept finding more items for her “friend customer”. The cashier knew my face but was being ignorant. All in all I am never coming back because there are 2 other Asian stores that are wayyy better. I will NOT miss this place.P.S. Make sure you check your receipts and watch the cashier when they ring because they ring up some items more than once. It’s happened to me a few times but I did not want to say anything so now I will.

I am a foodie and love this market. Not only can you find ingredients for your favorite Asian recipes but as you stand in line to check out you will often get great advice,recipes for cooking other items. If you are a foodie and enjoy the process of cooking from shopping to eating this store is a must .

I like coming here. But their dates and ready-to-eat foods near the checkout is really getting on my nerves. I let it go a couple of times, but this time, it was bad. My sister bought me a bonbao(sorry I dont know what the correct term is in English or vietnamese as we call it something else), but the meat pastry that is ready to eat near the checkout. I usually look at the items before purchasing just incase its bad. This time my younger sister went herself and bought me one, as I love those things but am too lazy to make it. lol I heat it up a tad bit, opened the wrapper(which wasnt the original wrapper that comes with it-the one from the seller) and the top had a small spot that i figured it was mold. I took it off as it was so small and i gave it the benefit of the doubt. I go to bite it and it gave an off smell(one of those you KNOW the food is bad). I opened it and just imagine any liquid in it that was stretchy. Enough is enough. Im Asian myself and like to go here for some of our foods, but this is pushing me to my limits of wanting to go here anymore. Please dont put bad things out! I really like Viet My!

Great selection of Vietnamese and other Asian foods. Great selection of fresh vegetables, refrigerated, and frozen delicacies. Freshly made Banh Mi (Hoagies) available at counter. Clean and organized.Prices are high at Weis, Giant, SKF etc too. These Asian markets cant buy in the volumes the big stores do. Hey, you could always drive to China town in NYC or Philadelphia.
