Lams Market #2

Very limited selection. Seemed to focus more on southern Asian/Chinese items. Staff was friendly.

Ok... this is one of the best Asian markets I've been to in the Valley. I used to live in the East Valley so my go-to were Lee-Lee's and Mekong Market. My friend and I were looking for some seafood options and stopped by Tan Phat on 17th and Camelback but their meat and seafood department left very little to desire. So I stumbled upon Lam's on Google Maps and I loved how organized their market was. They had so many options of EVERYTHING. I never knew there was another type of plantain like the Hawaiian one that I found there. I wasn't brave enough to buy it (yet) buttttt this will def be my new go-to Asian market for the time that I'm in Central Phoenix.

I love this market. I'm Nigerian and not a lot markets have the goods I need to make some traditional meals. But this places carries some of the items I need and the prices are pretty decent. It's fairly clean, and customer service is good.

The most interesting shopping in the valley. I was making sushi and this place had everything I needed to get it done - rice, wasabi, veggies, fruit (yes I like mango in my sushi), and some fun snacks. I did not get my fish here as I wanted to wait a couple days and buy it closer to home. It does smelly fishy, but it's only the food - it's 100% straight up real good food!

My first visit to Lams Market and I was very impressed! I've been on the east side of the valley for my entire Arizona life and needed to find a closer Asian market. All my immediate needs I was able to purchase at Lams! Good selection, clean, and most produce is individually wrapped! Everyone inside was practicing the recommended actions of the CDC, wearing face masks and keeping distance. Although this market is smaller than others in the valley, it still had everything I needed! It's almost comparable to think of Trader Joe's versus your typical supermarket (franchise). Although smaller, still everything you really need. I was overall very impressed!

We went looking for ingredients to make hot pot at home. They had everything we needed and much more! Great quality produce and Asian products!

I usually like going to Asiana, Hmart, Mekong or 99ranch but this is the closet Asian market close to downtown Phoenix where I lived... Most of the vegetables are pretty fresh, sometime too fresh so wash them carefully. There are usually bugs and little snails that you need to wash off.

I have had the biggest craving for fried oyster mushrooms. They can often be hard to find in stores or very expensive so I set in search of an Asian market. After a quick Yelp search I came across Lams. Im sure glad I did because this place is a gem. It is located in a small strip mall with ample parking. When you walk in it does smell a bit fishy but I promise it's worth it to continue on. They have a huge variety of unique products from many different continents. Plenty of meat and seafood options, candies, pantry items and produce. I wasvery pleased with the amount of produce options, along with it being very fresh. I purchased 2 packs of oyster mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, okra, and a few other delicious items. Everything was reasonably priced. I will definitely be back, challenging myself to try something new each time I go.

I am trying to create some Indian dishes, so, given that Lams is the most highly rated Asian grocer in the valley by yelp's standards that was my first destination. I found absolutely none of the ingredients that I was looking for. Kashmere peppers? None. Green cardamom pods? None. Brown mustard seed? None. If you're interested in Thai, Korean, Jamaican or Chinese food, this venue appears to be a good source. If you are looking to make some Indian dishes, do not bother looking here.

As an Asian college student who lives on campus at GCU, it's harder to find proper ingredients and authentic Asian food. This Lams is smaller than the other I've been to, so for it's size this store sells a decent range of meat, produce, and other items! You can find a small collection of cleaning supplies, cooking utensils, and other household items too. The employees are always pleasant and seem hard at work
