Panda Market

After living many, many years in Los Angeles, it eases one's decision to move back to their hometown of Athens, Ohio after being gone for 42 years when one is able to secure an International Marketplace close by, especially when one is convincing their Los Angeles born and raised wife to make the journey with them. There is a great selection of stuff here, and I am quite pleased with what we purchased.

[[Sat.6.May.2023 @1330hrs]] Need some International supplies for Stir-Fry Cooking, closets International Market to me was Panda Market East State St Athens OH which is about 40minutes west of my location, this afternoon headed to Panda Market. It is a Nice supplied Market found about all i needed, the Staff was very Kind, it is located in a Convenient location in Athens OH. Defiantly will be returning more often.

Wet floor at door made me slip and fall. Minor child was the only employee there. Very painful scrape from falling on wet floor. No signage! No doormat. No adult on site.

When there's no other options for Asian grocery in this area guess this is as good as it gets. It has a lot of noodle choices, even some of the rare find. Doesn't have much fresh produce and limited frozen products. A little bit of meat but nothing too desirable. Good sauce selection and A LOT OF wine.

I love this place. When I want to make an authentic Asian dish I can write up my shopping list and they help me find everything. I just made my first batch of authentic Korean Kimchi. It was very delicious!

Kind of sketchy looking and not a huge selection. They do have certain Asian products and cuts of meat that you won't find at other grocery stores in Athens. Their frozen meat selection is limited to a few packages in a freezer the size of an icecream cart, and they have the bare minimum of meats like beef brisket and pork belly.

Horrible grocery store. They hardly have stuff from the subcontinent. And most of their stuff is expired. I brought a noodle from their store yesterday. When I came back home and decided to cook it, I saw that the noodle had expired in July 2017! So many people I know have so many complaints about this store yet no action is taken against them for selling expired stuff!

I adore this store. The family that runs it s always nice and welcoming, and their two kids are always helpful and entertain you with their conversation while you shop. They have a great selection of all the dry staples you'll need for most Asian dishes. some fresh produce, and a modest freezer section. Oh, the wine and spirits selection is also worth a look. Also, I recommend you don't leave the place without picking up a mochi.

I am grateful for this market. I am vegan and don't eat gluten. U have to travel a long way to shop there and it is well worth the trip. Lots of fun things to try and loads of rice noodle varieties.

very rude people. they laughed at us when we walked in and we didn't even do anything wrong! had good mochi though
