This place is much smaller than Shuang Hur down the street but the quality of their produce is much much nicer (clean) and there is no odor like some other Asian markets. Also, they have the kindest customer service I've come across. I've learned to come here first and for anything that they don't have I go down the street to the next Asian grocery store. Their price point is comparable as well. It is def worth the stop. You will want to bring your own grocery bags as they do charge 5cents per bag per the city or state policy.

This is usually the first shop I go to. The prices are reasonable. The owners of the former Evergreen Restaurant work here now. There are plans for a deli section with hot foods to go.

I think a review update is due!Aside from buying pho-related goods, I visited Truong Thanh last weekend in search for a nice cleaver and butcher block. My girlfriend cuts various meats (chicken hearts, ox lips, etc...) to feed our dog, and when our current cleaver couldn't do the trick anymore, she sent me searching. (Gangsta, I know.)I didn't know where these things were, so I asked -- I think the son of the owner -- and he showed me two badass cleavers: one four and half inches ($9) and the other six inches tall ($30). I went with the cheaper one. He also directed me to a massive butcher block, which is essentially a small slice of a tree. ($22).He was super friendly with showing me everything. Also, I ran into Yolanda, the owner of Tea House. Apparently, she's a regular.The cleaver and butcher block both work great! I'll probably visit, again, this upcoming weekend!

I haven't been in this grocery store in AGES, so it's pretty much a first time visit for me all over again. It's located in a pretty hustle and bustle part of Minneapolis so it was great they had a pretty decent sized parking lot! It is a smaller Asian grocery store and surprisingly they had a lot of the things we were looking for. Firstly i am so surprised how helpful the cashier and store clerk was, not to mention how attentive they were! Also the back store employees greeted us too! That's not so common in the other grocery stores. Prices were decent and the only downer was that their fruit section isn't too big. And they can run out of things pretty quickly, for example we inquired on durian and they ran out morning of. Definitely will be back since it's closer to me than the Asian stores in saint Paul.

If you are a Vietnamese-American living in Minnesota, there is a very good chance you grew up going to this grocery store. This place has been around for as long as I can remember and for a grocery store that is super small, it actually has everything you could possibly need if you are trying to cook any Vietnamese, Chinese, or Thai cuisine. There's also a traditional Asian medicinal herb shop so the entire store smells like those dried mushrooms or whatever the OG elders boil to fight a cold. They have sweet treats like Pockys, Panda Cookies, and a bunch of those Korean sweet crackers, and salty snacks like dried seawood and shrimp chips. I'm a big fan of their fresh meat area because they always have a good supply of pork belly and spare ribs. Their produce section is small but they always have a good stock of their Pho veggies (bean sprouts, jalapenos, thai basil, mint, etc) and Chinese egg plant. I feel like those are kind of hard to find so this is a great one stop shop. I'm usually not a fan of reviewing grocery stores, but I've recently gotten into cooking more Southeast Asian inspired dishes and through many trials and tribulations of finding the correct ingredients for things, this grocery has been the best at having what I need when I need it. There's plenty of free parking in the back and overflow parking in the street. I don't suggest going here on a Saturday or Sunday because it is crazy busy and can get a little overwhelming. All other days are pretty chill though. There is this guy who has been there forever and he knows the inventory like the back of his hand. I don't really know how to describe him other than I am pretty sure he is the only white guy who works in the store...

Well I would consider this the ugly step sister of Shuang Hur. Why? Because no one thinks of this store for their Asian cooking supplies. It is located roughly 2 blocks north of shuang hur on Nicollet. Oh does it have some nice things. Fresh veggies, fish, chicken and pork at a fraction of the big chain prices. I am always finding new things here. (Update: prices on meat have been bumped up a bit).I usually load up on things like shallots, baby bok choy, canned coconut milk, fresh shrimp, and chinese long bean (like a green bean but each one is 3 times the length of a normal green bean).One time I found some veggie greens that looked interesting. I stuffed some in a bag took it to the counter and said "what is this?" "pea shoot tips" the clerk replied. Yeah another interesting find!! the pea shoot tips were great in a salad.
