LOVE THIS PLACE!! All the traditional food for cooking, fresh vegetables, small packs of dried prunes and Asian plums etc..Even Shilling oil and Tiger balm. Great for aches and pains. They only take cash or cheques though.

Im so thankful to have this store in the city. My go to store when I want to be cooking Filipino food. I want to mention their affordable prices too. The baby bokchoy is hand cleaned. My husband also loves to be buying Asian ingredients here for their restaurant.

Good if you need a few items/ingredients, but small overall so selection a bit limited. Super happy they had lamb for firepower. Happy this little shop is here.. Cash only, buyer be prepared.

A real gem of a market. Family operation and they fit a ton of authentic chinese ingredients for sale in a modest space. Great resource for those who wish to cook authentic chinese dishes in Fairfield county.

Has so many items to choose from - takes me back to my childhood. And the friendly man who checked me out gave me a bunch of longan as I was leaving - just because he thought Id like them!

An excellent, affordable, family-run business with a mix of grocery essentials, snacks, and more.

Review №13

Place is good for convenience if youre in a pinch and need an ingredient or two. But otherwise, availability is very limited since it is a small store and mark up very high compared to going to Hmart or chinatown. Note that they dont take credit card either.

This store may look quite small but they do have a lot of essential chinese ingredients there! I often order Chinese seasonings online but sometimes they run out and they are often more expensive. Glad we found this little local store. Cash only though. You can pay with check too.

Very cute convenient little Asian market. I do appreciate the fact that theyre open until 7:30. It seems like they have a little bit of everything. When you cant find anything, all you have to do is ask one of the nice owners and theyll gladly point it out. No cards, just cash

For the most part this place is great! A decent local Asian market. I would however like to see more fresh produce (veggies) and what not. But over all, its got enough to get your pantry going. It would be pretty dope if their kitchen was up and running... We need Good, Real, and Authentic Asian deliciousness around town.

Review №24

Great little place to get Asian food items you cant get anywhere else in the area and the owners are nice and pretty helpful. I really enjoy cooking Asian food and so this has become one of my favorite specialty grocery stops. If you need ingredients for Asian cuisine this is the place to go. You wont be disappointed.

Review №25

Family owned oriental food market. Has everything you need to make an authentic meal. Young owner keeps his prices low by not accepting credit cards. Well worth paying cash for the products you buy. I am a green tea drinker and he had green tea with roasted brown rice. Not easy to find. A must see.

Review №26

Good little market. If youre looking for those secret ingredients, or those sauces that you just cant find at the big name supermarkets, even in the international isles, this is a good place to look. Authentic Asian products, you may need a translator, if you dont already know what youre looking for.

Review №28

I consider myself very fortunate to have this place right in my neighborhood. Truly authentic ingredients with fresh unique herbs and vegetables delivered quite often. Cash only so be prepared for that. They can also order you excellent woks and other Asian cookware at bargain prices.

Review №31

I dont understand why this place is so highly rated? I guess its the only one of its kind in Norwalk so people are excited? I went because of the high ratings but it smells bad inside, theres not a lot of selection and the things I did find that I was looking for were expired and covered in thick layers of dust.Please if you insist on shopping here check the expiry dates before you buy. I would recommend going to H-Mart or Maruichi (previously Fujimart) instead. Its a bit further but they have way better and fresher selection.

Great little Asian market. Weve been coming for many years and the staff is always very helpful and nice. It isnt a huge place but it has a great variety of everything from sauces to noodles and snack foods to veg.

Review №35

A well stocked family run oriental food market. If an item is not in stock, they can order it for you. We mainly purchase Thai imported brands, fresh Asian greens, and their Friday weekly offerings of dim sums!

Review №38

Its small, but it had everything I was looking for. As for the help, the woman behind the counter was extremely helpful, warm and friendly. We chatted for quite awhile, and because of this Ive recommended this place, and my friends now make it their go to place for their Asian needs. We love it!

Love this place! They are always friendly and helpful and the produce/items they sell are authentic and great! I don’t know what I would do without this market!

Jo
Review №40

They have interesting items. Prices are very high though and they are very unfriendly. Although much of that may be a language barrier. Its hard to say. That dont say much upon being asked any questions, and done seem to care that you are looking for something. On a positive note they have different teas and herbal items you only can find there.

Review №41

They have a lot of things I cant find anywhere else like keffir lime leaves

Review №43

This place is small and cave like. I hated it at first because I was use to bigger brighter markets in Arizona and Colorado. That being said they surprisingly have what I need when it comes to dry goods and sometimes the vegetable fridge in the back has a pleasant surprise of some seasonal veggies. Thats good enough for being the only Asian grocery shop in this area.

Review №45

The size and location of the store can be a bit daunting, but inside had a great Asian selection that you definitely cant find in your local grocery store. Went here to get fresh lo mein noodles in the fridge and some shrimp chips. Only downside is that they only accept cash!

Review №46

Super small selection that unfortunately if you had a dish in mind youd be unable to completely acquire all the ingredients. Also only cash

Store is small and packed - owner immediately asked me how he could help. I was specifically looking for Kamir leaves and fish sauce - in and out in under 5 mins. Lets face it where else can we go in this area other than H-Mart in NYC?
