Asia Market

When you see the store manager walk in and open the doors literally 5 min before opening time... it's a red flag Kinda dumpy, crowded aisles of boxes of inventory piled high, it's claustrophobic Reminds me of a Typical old Asian grocery store from ages pastThey have the basics but that's itThe staff isn't very friendly, nor helpful, tho I hate to say that's typical tooParking lot is big and shared with other small businesses but also needs renovationNot worth returning Not much stuff I couldn't get online from elsewhere Limited in fresh fruits and food.

This market reminded me of the infamous Ranch 99 market on the west coast.It is huge and covers as much as it can in regards produce, meats/seafood, groceries, baked goods, and home goods. Aisles are stocked and towards the registers, most floor space is covered with groceries. I was happy to find bean sprouts, bok choy, and cilantro - fresh and at a decent price compared to the normal supermarket. A bag of bean sprouts here was a $1+.... at the supermarket $3+! There are live tanks of tilapia/seafood, not my thing, and a large meat section- think every organ/part of animal sold too. I was able to buy my panko, mochiko, ube flavoring , and krupuk here. They have Indo seasonings yay! , but unfortunately did not have my nasi kuning (yellow rice) mix at the time. Looked like most of the buns/pastries were sold out. Noticed some plants for sale outside and lots of lucky bamboo inside. To the far left of the store as you enter, there's a food vendor/ teas/boba stand- not sure what he all sold, but noticed a customer was very happy with her drink.When I got home, I immediately prepared egg rolls...now, I haven't made them in years! So it was fun and yummy to be able to make them again. I'll be back! Located far northeast, it's a trek for me, but I'll have a carefully planned list on my next visit : )

This Asian market is a little smaller than other markets in San Antonio but they still had a decent variety of product. I was able to find a couple different flavors of spicy buldak ramen that I have been wanting to try.

Good place to shop for asian groceries. They have a wide selection on groceries! Service was good. Needed to kno were an item was and a man helped me find it. The ambiance was quiet nice, not crouded nor loud.

Despite the obvious namesake, Asia Market is probably the least versatile of the few Asian specialty markets in San Antonio (#1). In just about any other city in America, this market would the defacto standard for all things Asian grocery. It is pretty adequate overall for generic stuff, but any need for specific brands is way harder to come by here. And for something that is my least favorite, I'd say 3 stars is pretty generous.Where the other markets have the edge is quite simple: more inventory, more selection, better service, price and even a better layout. It's hardly a small store, but somehow the variety seems to skew toward the more well known / generic brands rather than anything niche from the motherland. The prices are exactly a bargain either; which is especially true for their sauces or refrigerated items.Do they have enough to keep most people at bay? Yes. The other stores have such a robust selection that it's hard to keep this one in any constant rotation. Service is not really a thing here and the parking is limited, despite being in a strip mall. I believe the owner is the same person behind many Sichuan themed restaurants. I wish this market lived up to the same standards.___________(#1) Less than 10, currently.

This is my go to grocery for a number of goods and I really love coming here.They always have really excellent freezer stock.Noodles of all kinds,Lots of baõ buns,dumplings,seafood,special chip flavors,Aloe beverages,tea,coffees,candy,spices,Boba tea supplies,nice produce,duck eggs,dried goods and a wide selection of bean paste,tofu,chili,hot pot supplies and Szechuan products if you like that Mala flavor,like I do.Although we mostly make our own chili oil, you can always reliably go with Lao Gan Ma spicy chili crisp if you don't have the time or knowledge of how.We put it on everything from eggs to dumplings,rice rolls you name it.Pro tip:To kick it up add a tsp of prickly ash oil.It will be electrifying,savory and delicious.Overall this is a wonderful little gem and it's been my go to place to browse,I been doing curbside since February of 2020 but will go here since it's a small place and they are clean and keep good policies on mask.Never crowded unless it's a Chinese holiday.This place is a true to form family business.My father and grandfather & brother also worked side by side at the family barbershop the way this family trio does at this Asian grocery.The matriarch is always present in the background steadily tending to the produce area.Usually the men work the register or do stocking.You know,keeping things moving.Not sure what any of the other reviewers have a bee in the bonnet about because this family has only ever been polite and otherwise sweet to us.I frequent here.Quiet and busy mostly how I would describe them and that is FINE no need to be at a 10.It is very much not my thing to have all that big fake,cheesy,shouting at you "HI!!! THERE!! HOW YOU DOING?!?! Big Energy...lol They are just themselves.These are rough times for lot of us in marginalized communities and I wouldn't begrudge any of them for not being extra gregarious and ostentatious about every single interaction.Have a little respect for people working in essential positions.They deal with all kinds of characters very likely not always so polite.Give them some slack..Cheesus Y'all.This is a working class family and I have much respect for their operation and will come back time and time again.

Do not go to this store. It was filthy, overpriced and bad customer service. I think the health department forgot to add to the inspection list.

Been a lot of places in the world and I found a market that has fresh crabs that are fresh. They are actually moving and that's how it's supposed to be not like some markets around here. I recommend this to anybody who likes to eat live seafood, and it taste good and it's right Not a box you open up and stick in the oven. This is a great shop. People treat you like a customer not like a number you don't see that no more everybody's courteous to everybody in that supermarket no matter if you don't speak the languages or not and that's what I find excellent Maybe other place you should come here and learn how to get along. I like this place.

I had been looking for a large Asian store with a large variety of items, especially live fish. This one, though a bit far was very well worth the trip. I was really satisfied

Its very authentic. Youll get mostly your basic Chinese/Vietnamese spices and sauces here but store was dingy. Store owner kept following me and eyeing me as if I was gonna steal something. Like leave me alone, geez. Was rude to me at checkout as well. Not going back.
