Outside Pyone Cho.
Dusty shelves and unpredictable stock.

Didn't look like Pyone Cho has had much turnover in its stock...

Poor Pyone Cho, you seem a little neglected. I'm always on the hunt for new Asian groceries in Indy. I stopped in this shopping center while running errands, and the "Asian Market" caught my eye. I wrongly assumed it would be a Korean grocery, but it appears that the owners focus on southern Chinese and Thai ingredients. It was a disappointing experience, though I imagine I was not the target audience. There are some great Asian groceries in Indy, and this is not one of them. Shelves were dusty, and their food stock looked old. A sad fridge in the back held a few fresh veggies like napa cabbage, but most of the space in the store was devoted to dusty shelves of ramen noodles and other dry goods. It had a surprisingly large canned good section--larger than other local markets-- with Chinese and Southeast Asian canned items. They also had some household items such as shampoos, body washes, and cooking utensils. However, I saw very little to tempt me to buy. Skip Pyone Cho and head to Viet Hua or One World.

Much better Asian markets nearby. Store was messy and crowded; it was hard to find what I was looking for here.Pyone Cho does have noodles, sauces, and frozen fish. I could not find any dumplings, but then again, I didn't stick around to look that hard.

Small market with hit or miss fresh items. Nice selection of rice, noodles, bowls, spices, snacks, etc.

I was out running errands in the area when I noticed this little Asian grocery. I stopped in to see if I could pick up some things before heading home. I get really turned off by dirty, dusty shelves. And who wouldn't at a grocery store? You would expect a place that sells food to be clean! I looked at the products on the selves and noticed that a lot of the snacks and jars were at or almost to their use by date. The fruits and vegetables in the back did not look fresh and everything in the fridges/freezers looked freezer burned.I did pick up some Korean ramen because it was about a dollar less than at Saraga, but I think this will be my first and last trip to this store.

I haven't been to many Asian grocery stores, so perhaps I am not the best judge. That said, I absolutely love this one. It is a smaller shop, so it does not have a ton of options, but still has a pretty good selection of cooking supplies, sauces, spices, frozen food, fresh produce, drinks, etc. Best of all, everything is really inexpensive. I feel like I have the freedom to try a bunch of things that I have never had before without breaking the bank. I have so much fun going in, because every time, I find something new and different. I haven't had a chance to try nearly as many things as I want, but I can definitely recommend the kimchi, the steamed pork buns, and the Thai iced tea.Every time that I have gone, the same woman is working there. She is really sweet and helpful. I saw her giving another customer advice on how to prepare the produce that he was looking at, and she even offered me a free sample as I was leaving. I am so happy that this great little shop oppened up in my neighborhood. I look forward to going back many times. :)

I'm not very familiar with Asian cooking, but just got a Chinese cookbook. This is a great place to get things that aren't carried at the Kroger. The people at the market are super friendly and very helpful.

This store is exactly what it is, reminds me of all the little neighborhood stores back home. All the things you need that you ran out in your pantry. To those who are giving this place a 2 star or lower, if you're looking for esthetic then I say go elsewhere. This gem is a diamond in the rough. Thank you for being my new neighborhood store for my little emergency needs.
