We enjoy this store and make the drive there almost every weekend. We live about 25 minutes away, and its so worth it. They have everything you could want in a food market: clean, organized, knowledgeable & helpful people, and the prices are fair. And their selection is awesome: huge, full-service fish section, frozen food, produce section, meat aisle with (seemingly) everything you could ask for, even an aisle with pots and pans and everything else for the kitchen... AND (the best part?) prepared food to take home cooked right there in their own kitchen. Its one of those stores thats actually fun to shop.
Has a good selection of deserts, sauces, vegetable and meats. Really friendly service and I love getting their loose leaf tea.
I was here with my mom earlier.. This asian market was pretty great with variety but there’s a few problems. But the biggest one would be that there’s barely any prices on the items. You always have to guess how much a price is. Not trying to be xenophobic at ALL but American people don’t care about price and just grab things, Asian people do and we’re not all millionaires Please put real labels and prices on your items. Thank you
This place is great for locating 25lb bags of rice, authentic ingredients, and unique imported brands. However, the store looks like it hasnt been cleaned in years. Not sure if I would trust things that arent sealed.
I was making a bangladesh recipe and was in need of uncommon spices your local grocer typically may not have. They had everything I was looking for! It was clean and convenient because items were labeled in English. The staff was friendly and willing to help. Prices of spices were very fair. I will be returning, definitely!

Busy Asian market in a slightly sketchy area of town. Good parking. Employees are friendly but many or even most do not speak English. For items you need that cant be bought elsewhere, this is the place. Recommended, give it a try.
Found everything I was looking for at reasonable prices and didnt have to drive down to Lowell or Dorchester where there is a wider selection of fresh produce and freshly cooked meals, etc.
Good sized, large selection. We found everything we were looking for for several recipes. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Love the selection and cleanliness of this store. Lots of wonderful items, and good variety. Fish selection is very good, vegetables very fresh.
Really nice place to shop thats close to home 🏡☺️.Found things Ive been looking for many years and the owners are very friendly and helpful.Will make it a regular place to shop. Wonderful change from the larger stores.
Love this place. I wish I didnt live so far away!!
Found everything we needed. Great selection.
Started shopping at the old location and hated the fact that for a long while nobody knew whether they could find a suitable new location since I prefer Asian cuisine to American fare. You can find anything here, much of which is exported from authentic Asian producers. Clean, airy & spacious. Looking for exquisite flavorings like lemongrass? You will find it here.
A nice market, if I lived closer Id go more often, my son wanted Mochi ice cream and they had what he was looking for.
Very clean and organized, help is offered when asked for. Enjoyable service and affordable ingredients, equipment, and supplies.
I loved this shop because it was closer to home than Hmart. I felt very uncomfortable in the store, as the male and female worker in the back kept staring at me and seemed to be talking rudely about me. I was just shopping and trying to buy the things I needed, and the male worker in the fish area seemed to tell the other female workers to come look at me as if they were mocking me. I felt very uncomfortable and heard a lot of laughing, and it is a shame that I had this experience because I love the shop and items offered. I am saddened by this experience and I am reluctant to come back because of this. Its sad that this had to happen to a customer who was happy to be in the store.
Good selection and friendly service, haven’t tried the seafood yet. Produce and everything else is great so far!
I love it here! Its where I get my siopao!!
I was in search of tapioca pearls for bubble tea and they did not disappoint! There were 4 kinds! They had rainbow, black, green tea, and an orange colored kind. I just wish they had more flavors for bubble tea powders.
Amazing Asian Market! So many items! Very clean! Extremely good customer service! I give them a 10 out of 10! I cant wait to go back!
The best assortment of ramen around. Always friendly and a great mixture of different people and culture
This place is TOO expensive. every product in here is a literal scam. just go to massachusetts or a different store because everything in here is usaully $2-3 up
Lots of cool Asian food and gadgets for cooking!
This was a new experience for me. I was looking for sushi supplies and they had everything I was looking for. Friendly and helpful staff, and a really nice store. Its a gem!
Exactly what you need in an asian market. Well organized and great prices. Friendly as well.
I was there with my mom earlier today. It was our first time in Manchester and first time at Saigon Asian Market because we live up in Maine. The store is very nice and clean. People who work there are nice and friendly. Even though its far from where we live, well definitely be back. I have been to many Asian stores, I can say that this store is now one of my favorites. 😊
People are nice but it smells alot when u come in
Great selection including nice fresh veggies and meats.
This place is much closer than mass and its huge i found what i needed
Great little store, perfect location central to downtown, great prices including a whole range of goods you wont find anywhere else in town. Staff is friendly and professional. A real treasure.
This is a much better asain market than I expected to find in New Hampshire.
Just moved to the area and this has all the Asian cooking ingredients Im accustomed to back home.
Massive selection, friendly staff, and very clean. This may be Manchester’s best kept secret if you are looking for international ingredients. Overall great experience and I’ll be back for sure.
They have not just a little bit of everything, they have it all. This is my one stop shop for all of my Asian cooking adventures. Their fish is fresh and everything is affordable.
My family comes here alot when we dont have time to go to China town. Its more expensive but right now its safer than Boston. Great owners!
This establishment has such a variety of cultural foods it impresses me that theyre able to maintain the way that they have even through this pandemic.I for one am happy to have businesses like this in the city of Manchester.Please continue to keep up your fresh products and quality items and Im sure well see this business thrive for many years to come.
This store have a lot of things so i can find and choose to make my traditional food, variety products and the prices is great in Covid time right nowi will definitely go back
Lots of good asian foods here. Always stock up when we are in town
Not much selection, location has limited parking, but workers are helpful and friendly. I visit on a regular basis. Definitely recommend.
I absolutely love this store! There is a wide variety of hard to find items
Great place for trying out new recipes!! Ramen aisle is Nice! Frozen dumplings feel like money in the bank when you want them but dont want to order take out. Stay away from Durian flavored anything.
Clean, neat and orderly. Suffering from the supply problems besetting all stores but nonetheless a fascinating Aladins Cave.
Largest Asian Market Ive been to, and if Im looking for anything that requires ingredients for Asian cuisine, I typically can find it here!
Great staff, wide variety of products, always a pleasant experience shopping here! Their frozen and ramen sections are awesome! So many delicious items to choose from 🤤🤤🤤
Went in looking for tapioca pearls and ingredients to make wonton. Found 100 packs of jasmine green tea and oolong tea, too. It was an educational field trip for the 5th graders I had with me. Came away with several new fruits to try. Most parts of the pig are available in prepack and thats something different from the usual. Also on offer were fresh sandwiches and fresh food packed to go. Its a neighborhood grocery with a good asst of things.
They got fresh snacks to go food. Will come back again and again!!
We bought Kimchee( we have had kimchee a million times before) it tasted off so we checked the expiration and it was expired! We took it back to tell her and she said we could replace it. All of them were expired!!! So she wouldnt give us our money back and only gave us a cheaper one from a different brand. We will never go back.
Probably the best seafood selection in town, unless youre just looking for haddock!
This store has everything you need to make your meals tasty and authentic.
Wow! Large clean store with a huge selection. Very impressed!
An awesome grocery! Good seafood and plenty of Asian food and ingredients you cant find at other stores.
They have soo much good stuff!
It could be cleaner, from the pics it looks like the place has went down hill since it opened, the neighborhood it’s isn’t safe either so we won’t be back especially for that reason, poor location choice. Also most customers are stepping in without masks which isn’t good. I’ll go down to Ma to HMart where people are practicing safe mask wearing and the store is much cleaner. The main reason we dislike it is the unsafe neighborhood it’s in otherwise we would probably frequent this store and yes there is a state wide mask mandate, it’s your job as a business owner to ensure people follow it or ask them not to come in for the safety of everyone else wearing their masks
Some basic East Asian food here. This is the place I visit every week or two.
Good selection and friendly staff
GOOD SELECTION OF ORIENTAL/INTERNATIONAL FOODS. THE DOWN SIDE IS THAT THEY DO NOT ACCEPT AMERICAN EXPRESS CARDS😡
This is the best and largest Asian market in the area north of Burlington, MA that I am aware of. They have a full range of products including fresh produce, meats, and fish, as well as a frozen section, and dry and canned goods. They even sell a great many Goya brand Hispanic foods. Prices are reasonable.
Service excelent
What a market, clean, good, prices and variety and super friendly staff
All the dried and canned staple items you cod need for asian dishes. The produce area was hit or miss - some things were great deals others were a bit old and sad. They had lots of seafood avalible and a decent frozen food section. Not everything is clearly priced... the price stickers have fallen off of half the items. It was kind of a gamble until you got to the register and some items were more expensive than expected. Its a convenient stop if youre in Manchester and need something specific.
Friendly staff and they have all the things I need for quality sushi. Love this place
Always super friendly people. Great quality fruits and veggies. I especially always get my bananas here! Big selection of Asian and Philippine cuisine. Good spices in large quantities.
Good variety of food and the store is very clean, highly recommend.
All products are fresh and tasty,thanks!
Love this place! What a blessing to the city. The variety they have is incredible! And the Asian Beauties that work there are great too! 😍
Pros & Cons - The positive is that there is a fairly wide selection, covering several countries of origin. I often find what I need. Employees are typically nice and helpful. Thats all very good!However, the primary drawback is the prices. There seem to be sweeping across the board price increases periodically that exceed my comfort level, Items are more expensive here than some places elsewhere - whichunfortunately has driven me to shop elsewhere at times.Prices used to be very competitive and reasonable but appears far less so.And yes prices seemed too high well before the virus. Several other reviewers appear to have the same opinion. Price matters a lot. All things being equal, price can determine where many people will shop. If prices are too high, customers will be driven elsewhere if possible.I offer this as a suggestion to the owners: please lower rather than raise - prices and possibly business will grow!Just my opinion, I could be wrong in my conclusions. But again, just my feeling and opinion. Please visit the place and form your own opinion.
Very handy and always well stocked with the goodies I need. Have to wear a mask when you go in though
Great store but never has ube powder or essence.
Fabulous little place to get your Asian ingredients and they have a decent size collection of items!
Always have what I need, fresh.
Staff was Great.
Massive selection of Asian groceries! Had everything I needed to make sushi.
We come here at least once a month. You can get your Asian or Latino food here that you wont find at your regular supermarket.
Loved it, always have what I need.
I love everything about This Store Mainly Fresh Vegetables
Great variety lots of frozen and fresh foods.
Wow. What a diverse selection of food and the staff was super helpful too. Was looking for some ingredients for a Chinese pork dinner. I had no idea where to look but they took the time to show me where the items were. I got everything I needed.
So many items, its amazing! Got all my ingredients to make Pho. They also have a big Goya section and some Jamaican ingredients. Fresh fish. A good parking lot too!
It has some of the best quality and many varietys.
I used to come here quite often when they were located on S Maple st. Was very pleased with the amount of product they had and how you could get large bags of Asian spices for the same price you would pay for a tiny container of the same spice from McCormick. So many of the food items they had were so reasonably priced. I have been out of the area for several years, but hope to return here again someday to pick up some good product.
Love this place! Fresh produce that you cant get elsewhere. Quail eggs, lots of Asian products that my kids like. Definitely worth a visit if youre interested in Asian markets. They also have an aisle with Hispanic products.
They have all kinds of food
Descent place. Selection of whole fish, variety of canned goods and a large variety of noodles and rice. I was hoping for a small selection of quick meals to take home, but no luck.As others have said, prices reflect lack of competition. Ive had better prices in other markets in Mass, but theres not much around here. Parking has its own lot in the back. Overall, clean store, lots of options, authentic for the most part.
My daughter and I have gotten into Asian cuisine and can honestly say we have never not found what a recipe calls for. Amazing seafood assortment too. You wont find fresh whole fish at your local grocery store quite like this. Employees are extremely helpful too.
Larger than expected and better variety than expected. Prices are very very good and there are so many odd ball products there. Great market overall! The owner is very passionate about providing people with good selection of quality foods.
I recently moved back into the area and found out Saigon market didnt close, but moved to a bigger location! Which was fantastic news because I love pork buns, pot stickers, all their adorable ceramics/house supplies, and their fruit and veggie sections. You can bet come late spring Ill be in for fresh lychee fruit, because you cant find them anywhere else. The store smells a bit fishy, but thats the price for having a fish counter too. If you want a local store that has everything, check this place out!
Clean, and stocked with everything you could ever need !
Always a perfect experience. Our family has been going to them for over 30 years. Our children are older they now shop there along with their families. I cant think of a better store to go get your supplies for cooking Asian meals. The quality is always top shelf. My son and his family now shop there too. We are always talking about it and telling everybody that we know that they should shop there.
Its always clean and stocked. We love the fresh produce the best! There is a $10 min to use a debit card, which is kind of a bummer.
Wide selection of products at reasonable prices. Atmosphere is nice too; unlike other stores there isnt loud music playing and the lights arent overly bright.
What a nice little grocery store! The vegetables are cheap and fresh. Great fish and frozen food selection. Such a nice selection of Asian foods to choose from.
I can get vieinamese foods in here...i like it
Really big Asian market. Tons of stuff, also a good selection of Goya. Nice produce section with interesting Asian choices, probably locally grown. Going back next week!
