Shuang Hur Supermarket

Very busy and fresh food. Plenty of people. Grocery and fresh crabs and food. Parking got expanded, thanks Store owners. It used to be a challenge to park.Nice busy area : plenty of SE Asian stores.Quick service and check out.

Great selection of food & low prices. I especially love ordering my ginger and other veggies/fruits here that are harder to find at your local super market.

I love my Asian Grocery stories as it bring nostalgia and great savings. Comparing to United Noodles, the prices in Shuang Hur is wayyyyyy cheaper. If you are looking for veggies, Shuang Hur is your place as they have cheaper veggies/meats/seafood and you get quite a bit for the fraction at the price at Cub. Shuang Hur has a different selection compare to other Asian grocery stores, so there is value checking out this store. The only warning that I have is when it is busy the front parking lot can be very crowded but they have a back lot parking. Good place to get your groceries overall.

So far, this is my favorite Asian market in the Twin Cities. I find it to be generally well stocked and run efficiently. I get all of my staples here, and they are generally reasonably priced. There's a pretty steep markup on some things (sesame oil), but in a market where there aren't too many great options, I guess that's what happens.I do wish this market wer a little bigger, had a cafe type area where you could get hot food and sold some more meat products (especially chicken bones). I also wish they had open bins of produce items like shitakes rather than styrofoam trays already packaged in plastic wrap. I'd rather select my own produce/amount. But those are minor quips. Overall, I think it's a fine Asian market that serves most of my needs well at generally reasonable prices.I also like that they generally understand enough English for folks to get by and get help if they need it. Items are also labeled well in English, which helps a lot for those of us who don't read Chinese.

Others have said it (Kathryn B.) and I'm just repeating the message. You need veggies? This is the place. Just walked out of here ready to make some kickin salsa with an assortment of tomatoes and peppers. Got my banana leaf to wrap my pork shoulder up in. Bulgogi sauce to make my spring roll sauce with. And finally a little rice flour so I can bake my lab some treats as he is allergic to regular flour. The total? $13 and change. That's right. $13. I'd be closer to $40 for this stuff at any of my regular haunts and would still need to find a place that would sell me a banana leaf ($0.99). So expand your horizon's and your culinary cooking inclinations and check this place out. It's pretty cool and the people are friendly.

Excellent prices on their cilantro, green onions, cabbage and bok choi.I make my own won ton soup. They have excellent seasoning packet choices for wonton and I like the frozen wontons that are already made so I can just plop them into my soup. I don't have the patience to make my own wontons.Staff is always helpful and offer up good suggestions.

I'd give Shuang Hur 3.5 stars if that was an option.For my purposes (I gravitate toward Chinese cuisine) Shuang Hur falls a little short but this is understandable since it is in the heart of the Southeast Asian neighborhood.I was a little disappointed in the selection of fruits and vegetables. For such a large store, I expected more Asian greens and herbs. The much smaller Ha Tien supermarket kitty corner across the street does a better job with the fresh stuff.Highlights of the store: * Large fish and meat department with big tanks of live fish and a wide selection of fresh meat and seafood at good prices. * Great price for tofu, $.89 a block for Hinoichi brand. I paid a dollar more for the exact same item at Cub yesterday.* Kitchen utensils and supplies for all Asian cuisines--big bowls for pho, ornately patterned metal containers for Thai food, Chinese steaming baskets, rice cookers, etc.* Roomy off-street parking lot

I make drunken noodles. I also have an addiction to onion steam buns and vegetarian dumplings. Enter shuang hur, which I always pronounce as if I am speaking Mandarin for some ungodly reason. The produce section is awesome, I've learned to avoid the meat bc I am too picky and the rest of the store is fanfuckintastic. When the other half and I here go here, I make a point of picking out some sort of vegetable or fruit that neither of us have tried. Then we go home and poke it like some sort of tortured animal and proceed to eat it. It's fun.

My go-to for Asian groceries and supplies!I was introduced to this market almost 20 years ago by my mother who, after a 4-year stint in S. Korea (where she learned how to make a lot of different Asian cuisine), used to come to University Ave. to get her Asian supplies. It was my first time being exposed to Asian markets here, but it struck a chord. Tons of different types of groceries: produce, seafood, meat, sauces, spices, snacks, sweets, frozen foods, and cooking utensils. Since I was a fan of Pad Thai and making my own fresh spring rolls, I was able to get everything I needed there. I was just there this past weekend, after not having been for a while), and was reminded how good the prices are. For everything! I bought a bag (about 5 or 6) tomatoes for $1; a bag of nice, dry bean sprouts for $1.50; a large bag of pea pods for $3; a bag of red peppers (about 3) for $1.50; a nice size jar green and red curry paste for about $3 each; a jar of tamarind paste; a large bottle of Pad Thai sauce for about $3.... A ton of stuff for under $20. You would spend twice that at any other store, IF you could even find them!What I was reminded of on this trip is their seafood counter though! I didn't purchase anything this time, but the selection is impressive. Large display of different types of fish on ice, everything from whole fish to fresh prawns/shrimp, tons of variety and relative inexpensive. I'll definitely be coming back the next time I need some good seafood. Disclaimer: It's not like going into a Kowalski's or Lunds/Byerly's, people. it smells of fish the moment you walk in; there are boxes scattered everywhere (at least when I went); it can be difficult to find things, and it can be quite busy for a smaller store. But I found that if you ask people will help you. It's a fun experience and worth the trip!

Do you need produce? The hidden gem of the St. Paul area is the freakin' Midway area! Who needs Kowalskis' when you can go Shuang Hur and get not only your lettuce and garlic, but a bunch of sweet veggies and fruits that I don't know how to spell!They also have a fun housewares section, HUGE bags of rice and really nice employees.
