Saigon Market

Tons of great products I need for trying new Asian recipes. The interior is very organized and clean, the shop owner is incredibly kind and sociable as well! I was gifted a Woks of Life cookbook and this is my go to spot to buy what I need to make all the recipes :) as well as Thai and Vietnamese dishes I've always wanted to make!

This is such a cute and convenient shop if you're looking for Asian groceries and you live close to the university. I'm a huge fan of how they organize their spices in boxes so everything is easy to find! They didn't have a huge selection of produce but definitely some fresh looking cilantro, Thai basil, and Lemon grass! No longer will I be going to Kroger to buy Lemongrass for 3.99 when I can just go here instead when I can't make it to CAM. Even though this shop was located in the downtown, they have great prices that compare to CAM and there's a lot of cute shops around the area. For being so small, they had a large selection of goods from freezer to canned and I ended up being really surprised by the many goods they carry.Parking during weekdays isn't too bad because there was plenty of street parking, but during a Saturday or Sunday morning, I have to pay using the public lot. It was about $5 for 3 hours so that wasn't bad either. I will definitely be back to for all of my Asian grocery needs!

I go here a lot while at Findlay Market for the convenience of not having to drive to CAM if possible. For a small store, it's a pretty good selection of Asian products which can supplement everything you can get at Findlay Market. Plus there is a good selection of spices found in Chinese and Southeast Asian cooking sold at cheaper prices than Colonel De Herb. If I need a spice, I start here, and whatever I can't get, I would go to Colonel de Herb afterwards. The owner is also very knowledgeable about Asian cooking particularly Southeast Asian and if there is something you need to make like pho, pad thai, or curry, he will gladly tell you what ingredients to buy. Overall, if attending UC or living close to the downtown area, not a bad place to start for Asian cooking before going to CAM as a last resort.

Excellent customer service. Owner was very friendly and funny. They had a wide variety of goods! Will be coming back :)

I have been on a major cooking kick lately and one of my favorite regions of cuisine is Asian food. Every time I need something that I am not able to find at traditional stores I can for sure find down at Saigon Market.The family that runs the place is super friendly and helpful and I find myself looking for reasons to go down there and talk food with them.

Great, local Asian grocery store! Don't be fooled by the outside - I initially thought this place wasn't open, but it is so don't be afraid to go inside.I like that it's located conveniently by Findlay Market and carries many of the staples for Asian cooking. They have a wide variety on offer, including cookware, health items, frozen foods, and they even had gluten-free sauces (soy, teriyaki, etc)! Not the largest store or selection of Asian cooking items, but a lot more convienent for many and definitely have a great selection for the space they have.The staff is very friendly and nice. I'll definitely stop back by when I need to pick up some items they carry!

Saigon Market is where it's at as far as Asian groceries are concerned. Located at historic Findlay Market this scary and condemned looking building is in fact open for business! Peek inside and you will be glad you did. They carry everything from spices, to curry mixes, pho broths, Asian candy and more! I love how they have the store organized and laid out by category. It is very clear and broken out by sauces, broths, veggies, drinks, spices etc. If you are still confused the men working inside can point you in the right direction. I would recommend picking up ingredients here instead of eating out the next time you think about Asian. Or really just challenging yourself to cook something new and outside your comfort zone. Every thing is really cheap, so if you mess up it's no biggie. Definitely check them out next time you are at Findlay.

Anytime I seem to have trouble finding an item at my local grocery or market I know that I'll end up finding it at Saigon Market. We belong to a cookbook club. Every few months we have a new cookbook with a handful of new and fresh recipes for us to cook up. Many times bc these are new to us we may have an ingredient or two missing. I love that when I walk in I can poke around and find what ingredients I need or go straight to the clerk and be lead immediately to the item!Bonus time!! My fav part to any restaurant or store! The yummy snacks and sweets available at the front when cashing out. Can't find much like them at most stores. So indulge a bit my friend!

Best spot in the city to get not only asian food supplies (sauces, spices, cookware, etc) but also other imported goodies. Give them your business.

After having dropped our daughter off at the CVG airport, darling wifey & I stopped by Findlay Market. After browsing/munching for an hour or so, I saw Saigon Market's sign.I think it had been 10-15 years (SORRY!) since I'd last been there to buy some rice. Wifey & I entered the store, and I felt quite comfortable.Being a lover of Asian foods in general, I felt at home.Brightly lit store, nicely arranged aisles, food within shelf life (a big issue for some stores), and a good assortment of cooking equipment (carbon steel woks in a nice variety of sizes). I can't recall if they have many knives for sale. I doubt it, being a knife-lover in general.Wifey & I got some dried soba noodles, some Vietnamese rice paper wrappers for Spring rolls (Goi Cuon, on the menu tonight at home), and some EXCELLENT quality, hand-packaged bean sprouts, cilantro, and Thai basil. I particularly like the care they took in selecting/packaging the Thai basil. Rather than the exceedingly long stems (to add weight, don'cha know) seen on the CAM Thai basil, the stuff I got at Saigon Market was mostly flavorful, brightly colored (green/purple) leaves.Good place. I hope to be back in less than another 10-15 years. :-)
