Our Guestbook
“ I love the section of ramen and various bao. Nicely surprised they had Filipino tocino. ”
“ I am in the store multiple times a week. It is always clean, well stocked with organized shelves. I love the smell of the spices and meander through the store just smiling. The staff is extremely polite and helpful to me and I only speak English. The produce is always fresh and the meat selections in wonderful. ”
“ Well organized, easy parking, huge selection, and decently priced, we noticed there's plenty here to make rather authentic ramen. Orange chicken, tea eggs, some slightly Americanized with fake flavors and other the real stuff. Great location near campus too and competing well with the other similar markets in the area. ”
“ Very helpful staff and found all ingredients for our meal. If you're looking for something different and authentic asian ingredients this is your place. ”
“ Excellent selection of foods from around the world. Really great for spices and specialty items. Would love to visit again sometime! ”
“ great place. found unique Asian items hard to find anyplace else near by. Plan to make it a regular shopping experience. ”
“ I am so glad this market exists. It's not huge but is full of the good stuff. I am able to buy some Asian staples for cooking Asian/Filipino food that I cannot find elsewhere. And there's also enough variety that I find there's always something new I want to buy too. Yes, I do find it is a little pricey sometimes but I think that's just how it is with smaller specialty grocers. And, honestly, to me it's worth it. I grew up in an area with lots of Asian bakeries so I often find that I crave stuff from Asian bakeries. I am very grateful that they bring in pastries from Chicago. They're not exactly my favorite and the bread can be a little stale but...when there aren't a lot of options, you get what you get! I'm only giving four stars because sometimes there is produce in the bins that quite simply should be thrown out. Also there is a distinct smell by the meat counter/produce area that is...not good. I'm not talking like "oh this food stinks" but like a cleanliness problem. ”
“ So many cool items. I was pumped to find three different flavors of tapioca pearls for when I make bubble tea at home and am excited to try some new tea flavors that I picked up in store. I'll definitely be back after some more research. ”
“ Horrible smelling place, with the largest selection of Asian food & groceries in the county. Admittedly, such a distinction has a low bar for achievement, but I digress. Fantastic selection of meat and fish, and it's really clean, in spite of the horrifyingly bad odor thay about knocks you out as soon you enter. But totally worth it to plug your nose and check this place out! ”
“ So, this is a little different than the other reviews.. see, there's a great Asian grocery store, and you can read all about that in the other reviews. But if you walk all the way to the back there's a little walled off space with a few tables, and a white board with nothing but Chinese written on it... That's straight out of a Beijing Street market. The waitresses speak a tiny bit of English, and there *are* English menus. The food is great and moderately priced, with standard (genuine) Chinese offerings like beef fried rice noodles, Singapore fried rice noodles, soup noodles, duck, lots of chicken dishes... The soup served before the meal tastes like it's benefited from simmering a pot full of bones all day. Lots to like here. If you're Chinese food literate, you'll feel right at home. ”
