Great little shop on Killingsworth. They have all the basics and more. Chinese herbal pharmacy too

If you live in the area and like Asian/Pacific snacks, don’t pass up this shop. They have almost everything for making my personal favorite Thai and Chinese meals at home, so I’ll be coming back for some feel-good food and ingredients. We even found Japanese red bean buns for the first time since we lived in Tokyo!

Has most of my Filipino product needs without me having to go all the way to Fubonn. The owner is nice and I feel relaxed in browsing freely. Very grateful to have found a place to get what I need so close by.

The deals are great and the customer service is very good. Eventhough it was hard to understand eachother, cashier explained to me what red line stone is used for and was very nice to let me use their employee restroom. Thank you Vieng Lao!

Love going here💞💞They are always so helpful and friendly. Best place to get fresh cilantro and limes are always reasonably priced. Two of the many deals they have. Their candies are also yummy yam yams, and the hello panda goodies. Fish and shrimp always a good deal.I just really enjoying going here. They have very many other items such as meats, noodles, pots, pans, plates a variety of items

I shop here often, parking is ok, not great, but the tofu and fresh noodles you can get make up for it. They also have produce needed for your dishes.. Not sure if it is a family run business, but they are so nice, definitely want to spend as much locally to support our businesses. Their prices are very good compared to other local grocery. Its a regular stop on my shopping list.

Ive shopped here for several years, its a great resource. This is exactly the kind of store we should be supporting. A good selection of fresh, frozen, canned and dried Asian foods. The pricing is very good, if you cant find something just ask, everyone is friendly and very helpful.

I wouldnt know what to do without this store in my neighborhood. Great staff, fresh curry leaves, galangal root, local tofu & noodles, all of the bottled/canned sauces and curries. Absolute gem of North Portland businesses!

Nice little Asian grocery store. If you are looking for fresh whole fish and vegetables, this is a good place to go. Also has the usual shelves filled with canned and bottled Asian foods, dried noodles, rice, etc.

Love this place! Super friendly people who run the place and the only place I know of nearby to get some of the ingredients that we like to use at home.

Review №21

Great prices on canned jackfruit, rice, fresh produce (especially things that often cost more like eggplant, jalapeños, basil, mangos, avocado), and noodles of all kinds. They also have a robust selection of canned vegan meat analogs (vital wheat gluten & soy-based). Theyre friendly, too. Not as huge of a selection as some of the bigger Asian supermarkets in town, but definitely everything I needed.

Ja
Review №22

Small, but great place to hit up quickly! Selection for the size is outstanding and would give 4.5 starts, if possible!! Bonus, is that they are quite friendly and appear to know a lot of their regulars. Highly recommend for quick trips to load up, compared to the big places on 82nd or in Beaverton.

I love this market! They have a reasonably priced and fresh produce selection, meat counter, and all of the sauces, noodles, snacks, refrigerated and frozen goods I need for my Asian cooking. They even have a decent selection of housewares. I like the family, and always feel welcomed.

Review №28

A small store with a delicious Mexican food cart in the parking lot. Not a giant selection of things, but the basics for a lot of different asian meals, like the seasonings, sauces, special meats, fresh vegetables, snacks, desserts and limited dishware. The workers arent outgoing, but not rude. I dont think they should lose any stars for not being extremely well stocked, Im positive they are convenient to so many people living in a 5 mile radius. 👌

Vieng Lao is a great little market. They have produce, a meat counter, and great prices on staples like coconut milk, curry paste and noodles. Theres a ton of great stuff packed in this little family-run market. No need to trek out to 82nd ave. Keep it local!

Review №33

It is a pleasure to shop here. They have a wide variety of Asian foods, ingredients, and condiments, and the prices are ridiculously low. The meat counter looks a little dicey, but Ive never had a problem. The staff are friendly and helpful. This is my go-to joint for when Im hankering to cook anything Asian (especially Thai!)

I could get certain Asian veggies and noodles and fish, but otherwise the selection is thin. But they have Thai basil! And it beats going way cross town.

I absolutely love this place. Great selection and inexpensive. They even carry the important fresh ingredients that are hard to find elsewhere such as galangal, kefir leaves, and roots and hard to find spices. Super nice owners.

They had exactly what I needed to make japchae and the woman working there was very nice.

Review №48

Two words: curry paste. Not simmer sauce, not tiny jars of overpriced grocery chain goop...real curry paste (panang, masuman, green, red, yellow, I probably spelled masuman wrong, etc). I wish they had tiny cans of coconut milk but I can understand wanting to keep inventory simple.Of course they have other goodies that Asian food stores carry, but curry paste has to come from here. Actually, even basics like soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, etc should come from here as well. If youre still payng a premium to buy that stuff at chain grocery stores, youre throwing money away.Oh, and if you want to charge your goodies youll need to buy at least $5? $10? worth of stuff. Not hard to do (I wish I recalled the exact minimum. Just bring cash and be happy).

Review №59

It was not a japanese store meant for me. I did not know where anything was and felt weird asking. I am probably not their clientele base and it wasnt a 99 ranch market that was easy for me to navigate. It might be a great store for the clientele they cater to.
