I love this place so much. The prices are AMAZING. do not buy any Asian candy /pocket anywhere else!Wide variety of noodles and sauces and condiments. Aswell as a huge fresh produce section with meat and unique foods. Not to mention an entire wall of frozen things, and even pots and pans and bowls. The posters and decor is nice, it's very calm in the store and the workers/owners there are very respectful and nice! It doesn't get more 10/10 than this.

It's hard to rate this place harshly because of the pandemic. This place is located in an area not so SEEN greatly for because of the sounding demographic. Other than that, the random asian needs and wants inside can be found. IS IT THE BEST definitely no, but you can and may find what you're looking for. Their veggie section is pretty sad, but I don't blame them. Other than that I think the overall store is good to me.

Pretty clean. Pretty good selection of pan asian items. Pricing is good and the items on the shelves are not covered in dust. The produce is limited and some items such as kim chi are not priced.There might be a language barrier here, the woman that rang my sale was on the phone the whole time and didn't acknowledge me. Pearl river bridge soy sauce for $1.49. Not bad.

This is the store I typically go to if I'm looking for Korean or Japanese ingredients. It's Korean owned, and the majority of the groceries are aimed at a Korean clientele. There's a nice selection of instant noodles and chips & candies, as well as a large section of rice cookers, and some other home goods. The produce is lacking, and the only produce I've ever found myself buying here is fruit. They also usually have some Korean seed packets in stock, if you're up to growing some Asian veggies at home. The staff is friendly, but inattentive. I feel like I'm always waiting around for a while, seemingly being ignored, but when someone comes to check me out they're nice enough. Oh, and also check the dates on things. Some stuff sits on the shelves for quite a while here.

This rating is very recent for us. When covid restrictions were first eased we dined near this store because we are fairly reglaur patrons yet still being cautious. We got in and out. This was June. It is now August and a jar of Korean bean paste we purchased was discovered to have an expiration date from 2011. That is NOT a misprint. When we called about it, the woman (co-owner?) yelled at my wife for not discovering it earlier. (What?!?) It's not about the money. This thing retailed for $4.19. This is about respect for your customers AND your inventory. They're getting their paste back (probably) but not us. We won't go back. If there had been an "Oh wow. Sorry about that." it would be different. But don't yell at your customer for something YOU erred on. Our $300 or $400 every couple of months may not make a difference but there is a principle here. There are a couple of other stores closer that would love to have our business. Apparently she doesn't.

This is a nice Asian grocery store tucked away behind a small sign on the interior of a crumbling strip mall. There's a reasonable selection of frozen items and produce. The selection on the rice, dried mushrooms, snacks, and candies was impressive. It's not as large or well lit as the bigger market down the street, but it's worth a stop, particularly if you're looking for some specialty ingredients.

I was in here this past weekend with a friend of mine who had lived in Taiwan for the last 6 years. My friend was looking for foods that reminded her of home in Taiwan, and I was looking for boba (for bubble tea), mirin, seaweed, and whatever looked yummy. Perhaps if I knew Cantonese I would've gotten better service, but both my friend and I had a difficult time even to get their attention. They clearly saw us, but lazily looked at their TV. Maybe we caught them all on an off-day. Maybe the TV was more interesting, I don't know. They weren't very helpful, even as we tried several times to gain their attention. Despite this, their prices were reasonable. I was able to find the mirin and the seaweed, but no luck with the boba. Despite the good prices, I won't be going back. I can deal with a language barrier, but not with rudeness.
