Oriental Imports

Wow this place was in much need of a recent review!So first things first.... This place has greatly improved since i first walked in about 2 or so years ago. They have added signs to indicate their aisles and little by little, they are fixing up the area so that it doesnt look so neglected on one side of the store. Thats what throws me off still about the place, especially how dark their refrigerated items are.I believe the business i basically run by a couple and they can only afford to hire so much help. So they ultimately are taking care of the entire store themselves which is not easy!I gotta give them mad props for being the only asian store who sells rice flakes!!! These things are the bomb to cook up and eat with korean bbq if you plan on cook some at home. Its also great for alternative noodle dishes! And only $2 each bag!Their produce department varies too with how much they stock. Just yesterday, it was super bare. But other days, especially the summer time, its packed! Stop in if you ever are in need of some azn goodies!

Love this market. It's a surprise every time. They give a military discount for active soldiers. Wandering down the aisles and playing roulette with the products is my favorite game. It's a great place to expand your mind and try new things.

At last last! I finally found matcha green tea KitKat! Oriental Imports is the only oriental store in El Paso that sells this limited edition of Kit-Kat thats only made in Japan. If you have been to Japan or just through airports you know this is like a limited edition that's only in Japan. If you want to buy it in the U.S you have to either buy it online through Amazon or if you are lucky, you find it in your local Asian stores. If you live green tea flavored food or drinks, I know you will enjoy this treat.

Yikes went here and it was so sketchy just from the outside it isn't very approachable. Went in anyway to check it out. Lots of old stuff it seemed like.. And expensive. I didn't find anything much here. Rather go to wia gia len whatever that other Asian store is called blocks down, it has more variety than here.

Looks like they're in the process of renovations right now, but you can still get into the store via the side doors. They have ornate Asian furniture, groceries and dishware/silverware. They also have a huge tea selection (a whole wall full of teas). They have a relatively good selection of Asian products (Malaysian, Thai, Chinese, Korean. Japanese), but not much produce. Also, a lot of the items do not have any prices listed, so it can be difficult to decide what to buy. Other than that. they have the best selection I've seen so far.

first time there I bought some food n a case of drink ( tea ) . when I got home I opend one and drink ,the taste is funny .than i check the expration day already past. I went back couple day later for refund. but the man ( owner) there did not want to refund my money back.He said store credit only. I got really mad the day, for sure NOT to go back again .

Walk I this place kinda of remind me of china town Sf. It was dim . Look old and seems like they been there forever. Lots of home decoration stuff. Pick up a drink.and it was expired. Makes me wonder if all the other things ar expire..owner was pretty nice. They got some chinese fresh vegetables. wouldnt come back here to shop. Esp i wasnt the only yelper that pic up somthing expire. it was a one stop just to check things out snice theri wasnt much azn places around here

I bought ice cream mochi and the mochi was disgusting. It was almost flakey and wasn't soft at all it ripped easily almost like paper.

This store is amazing. It has everything that I was looking for. If you ever visited abroad and looking for Korean staples, this place is it.
