Great little shop for Asian/Oriental foods. They also have a very good kitchen for various Asian dishes. Worth the trip just to see what they have and find an odd treat to try.

Very interesting products! From pots and pans to snacks they have it all! Some exotic fruits as well! They have some hair products as well. And even quail and duck eggs! I would recommend this to anyone wanting to experience different food

Amazing Asian market, they have everything. There is a dine-in cafe style inside that is linked to the store. The pictures best represent what is available. It is the store if you need to make any Asian cuisine. Come for the spring rolls and banh mi. Wow, what a full store. The place has been around for 20+ years and they have been in business for 30+ years.

Nice little one stop shop for all your Asian food needs. They even sell soap and other non food grocery items. The aisles are a little small and crowded. They also have a lunch counter that sells BIG bowls of pho. We havent had the opportunity to try it but Im looking forward to it in the future.

Review №22

Personally made food, and spot to have two or three person party. For introverts, and singles this is a great spot to enjoy hardy broths, and delish noodles. You can also buy bubble tea which is by far the best spot for boba Ive tasted. If you come, make sure to apperciate the waving lucky cat at the entrance welcoming you in.😺✨

They are a family owned business that meets 90% of all your asian ingredient needs at a decent price! I support them! And just to add, the owner asked me what I wanted to see in stock randomly, I really appreciate that!

Review №53

The restaurant is open until 6:30PM and to go orders until 7PM. The pho is great. They have a great selection. They do need to clean and paint and upkeep the interior more -- its owned and ran by a family -- an older couple. The food is consistently good. The groceries are widely varied. There are some really great deals and some really over priced items...but a great selection and local business.

A well stocked Chinese and Vietnamese grocery market. They also have some of the basic necessities for the Japanese and Korean kitchen. All manner of sauces, soy sauces, cooking wines, spices, noodles, rice selections, even some fresh produce. On the side, they also have a small dining area serving Vietnamese pho, noodle and rice plates.

There are so many very good 5 star reviews here, I would have a hard time adding much, but I will give my experiences.After having tried multiple times in various situations to love my local Asian grocery store (Golden Dragon in Kennewick on Clearwater), I finally vowed to not return. I then made the long pilgrimage to Columbia Oriental Market and this THE ONE to beat in the Tri-Cities. As others have mentioned, along with the huge selection of products, the friendly, personal service that I’ve received from the lady that seems to be there around the clock, and very reasonable prices, I don’t imagine it would be worth the effort to go anywhere else, and is certainly worth the extra drive across t he bridge for me.Do yourself a favor and have her show you the MOST EXCELLENT knives that you’ll ever use for under $10! I have given a number of these kitchen knives as gifts, with a note saying “I know that these seem like cheapie knives, but give them a try. If you don’t like them you will certainly appreciate them in your camping gear!” Everyone has always later told me that they are their favorite knives to use, even over their fancy kitchen tools with big names such as Henckels or Wusthoff. My wife and I love our $7 utility knife.Highly recommended store!

On Jan 28, 2020 I went and I had a very very rude experience with a guy that cooks and makes boba teas, I went in and asked for a buba tea there was 14 min left till close he refused to take my order and make my boba tea then I asked the manager which was doing cashier at the store and said yes we can make it so he told the cook and then the manager told me it will be out soon my boba tea and I was staring there he was making my boba tea the cook and was looking at me very very rude came shaking his head saying no he was mad and when he was done making it, he thru it on the table which that’s not what he was supposed to do I been there about 5 times and the lady that attended me the last couple times would always give it to me in my hand with no attitude..

Actually I wasnt here 4 weeks ago. I was at the bank next door but Ive been here. The best phó in town hands down! Also their rice desserts are yummy.

Review №83

Just about everything Asian food you can get there. Price $$, but Seattle is a long way to go for treats. Try their kitchen for authentic food. Fried Rice is the best in town. Have seating.

Review №84

The first time I stopped by, was also the last. I ordered some pho, and I could see the lady preparing it did not wash her hands and grabbed the noodles with her bare hands. I know that is not the proper sanitation procedures to cooking, so I left to check the store out. When I was about to pay at the register (in the market section) I saw the cashier (who was handling the money) bagging some kind of herb/spices in a plastic bag without washing his hands. All in all, I knew I would never return to a place that wasn’t very sanitary. Go there at your own risk with a legal will written (just in case). 😂

Br
Review №85

Good store but the lady doesn’t look at the cash register when checking out. I’m scared that she might over charge me with items.

We go to this store at least once a month. We get our friend chili paste, egg noodles, Pocky sticks, rice noodles, mung bean /glass noodles, black sweet soy sauce, dried mushrooms, curry paste, and cute ramen bowls to boot. Nice owners. Havent tried their little cafe inside, but I have seen customers bowls of noodles many times.
