Mekong Asian Market

If you are looking for a market that sells Asian food, I recommend this shop. have everything There are also Thai desserts. There are Thai medicines. There are Thai food for sale at affordable prices. Durian is there too.Convenient parking, clean shop, maybe the aisle is a bit narrow. But a lot of things are definitely not disappointed.

A friend of mine came to visit Hawai'i recently and gave us this jar of sauce to cook with ground pork to make a Thai dish. He was raving about it and I believe it is something not sold in Hawai'i. At least I didn't see it in any Thai market in Hawai'i before. When I came up to visit, I told him I wanted to buy some to bring back as it made a tasty and quick meal. He took me to Mekong Asian Market. You walk into a clean and typical Asian market. The nice thing about this place is that they offered premade and packaged meals. Although, my friends told me the place offered more before with the previous owner. It was all good though because I found what I was looking for. Before I left, I saw a bowl of Kao Mun Gai (Haianese chicken and rice). If we didn't just eat a large meal, I would have picked that up as it's one of my favorite dishes to eat. I checked out and like many places, you have to pay for a grocery bag. Fortunately my friends wife asked if they had boxes and they did. The cashier was nice enough to find a box that was the perfect size for everything we bought. That was free and we went on our way. I love the money saved grocery shopping in the mainland vs Hawai'i. Solid Asian market to check out.

Rude rude rude... the manager at this grocery store is stupid and rude... don't bother shopping here... go to Lam seafood or other Asian supermarkets for your needs. The idiot manager don't even know where things are, don't know how to give good customer service and what is worst very rude and had an attitude the whole time I'm trying to ask him something!

The owner and her cashiers are rude, not very friendly. It's an okay market if you need ingredients to cook Asian dishes. You can go to Vietwah or any other Asian markets. It's nothing special.

We were driving on Rainier, south of 90, when I suddenly spotted this place. Hubby did a quick turn and here I am wandering a new-to-me international store that is Thai centric. This is an older store, so dial down your expectations accordingly. I tell everyone this when it comes to these stores. Look carefully. Pay attention to quality, expiration dates, etc. I never buy meats. I always browse packaged junk foods, fresh snack foods (front of the store), and produce. If they have fresh tanks, I always look at those too. Maybe I'll browse the frozen section. My best find this visit was Lay's potato chips - Thai editions! I've read about these but have not located them yet. Here they are! I bought every flavor they have. These are the small bags, only $1.59 each. Well worth the fun to try. (Not like the giant American family size bags even for their new flavors. Yuck.) Other than that, I bought mung bean + pandan tapioca flour treats, gummy soft and chewy, like mochi. Also bought some rosette like fried dough, thin walled treats.

This Asian market is great. They had a large selection of items. Lots of buy two get one free discounts. Outside of the discounts I just mentioned, the regular prices were very reasonable. The market is mostly Thai and Lao products, which was great for us. I wish the market was closer to were we live, because I could see this being a regular market for my family. They have a number of non-food products as well.

I was looking for some seasoning mix to make some laab (Hmong chicken or beef salad) I had found and used to make some laab when I lived in Fresno.I found a comparable brand here for a good price.Based on recommendations from Hmong people.Who knew which was best to use for that dish.

This is a very clean store with pandan leaves, red lotus flour to make banh bao, all various herbs etc. The store is very clean

Had a good experience with the Thai gentleman in the store made some food for my wife we bought some food spent about 40$was meeting some one the give them some items they bought from us as we were in the parking lot giving the items to our friend a Thai lady that worked there started telling us to leave the parking lot l just left because she just kept talking she was saying we can't exchange items in the lot next time park somewhere else had priced some noodles my wife had already spent 40$ dollars was going to buy 80$more plus we have bought many things there before but after that won't be back she was very inconsiderate

If you shop produce, plan to use it immediately as many items are on the verge of crossing the line- like wrinkly bell peppers and hot peppers that are already soft at the stem. Also much of the produce is prepackaged in styrofoam (yikes) trays, and unless you have a big family or cook every day, you will never get through the amount of chili peppers, ginger, and garlic, for example, that you have to buy. On the other hand, it's cheap, and you can find all the things you need for Thai dishes. I'm always able to find lime leaves, lemongrass, fresh herbs, and even okra and green peanuts. And there's an unlimited selection of packaged and canned items. I feel really lucky to leave close by and highly recommend this market in spite of the produce shortcomings.
