Asian Market & Cuisine

I literally walked into this tiny Asian market and grabbed ONE ITEM and went to check out. They rang up at 3.99. No problem. She literally infront of me - changed the price to 5.99, like um?I understand inflation and pricing - but to do that in front of me an almost charge double Seriously rude. Also be sure to check your expiration dates - several things are expired. Oh an no receipt.

I was looking for a Boba spot near Palm Harbor, something different than the Green Mint. Found it here. I ordered a Watermelon Boba which I loved. While they were making it, I walked around the store. I found some sweet Asian treats, Filipino seasonings, some Asian skin care stuff, and tons of sauces and noodles.What attracted me also to this place was pics of Filipino food. It turns out, you can call and order food, but they don't have any ready made. You can purchase some food items like Vietnamese banh mis and fresh rolls. They get those from elsewhere I am pretty.Nice small place to go if you need these items in a flash.

Small little store, but with everything you may need in a pinch to get your own asian cooking going. This place is probably the closest store to me that carries bittermelon and japanese eggplant so yay to that. Their produce section isnt very big, but they have all the essentials.Of course we had to try a food item and got the chicken banh mi. She mentioned it may take a little, which was fine. 15 mins later we had a nice fresh chicken banh mi that tasted pretty great. The bf is already plotting his work lunches there since he works not even 5 mins from the store. Give them a try, theyre not as big as all the stores in Tampa but they are conveniently located with plenty to get by. The lady in the shop is very friendly as well.

Came for the supposed food half a year ago ... they no longer make food. So really, it's a tiny Asian supermarket you can find some of your shopping list at. Meh.

I know what Filipino food, Boba, and other Asian dishes taste like...the food here is AMAZING! You ever have those lunches or dinners and felt like it was made with low quality?Not this store. Literally tastes like grandmas homemade cooking.

Very disappointed in the staff. My 9 year old really had to use the restroom on our way to Asian market. As I pulled up and parked right in front, I told him to go inside while I take out his 2 little brothers from the car so he wouldn't have to wait ( 7 months old and 2 year old ). The gentleman at the register told him their bathrooms are broken so he wouldn't be able to use them. I walked in and ask where he goes to the restroom so that my son could go as well and he said next door. But when he noticed that I was an actual paying customer and buying some groceries, all of a sudden the bathroom is no longer broken. And their food items are overpriced compared to other Asian markets.

Gotta love Yelp. You wake up with a hankerin' for pho, but don't want to drive 30 minutes to your favorite place. A quick Yelp search says "Hey, there's a Vietnamese place 5 minutes away, why haven't you been going there all these years, Noodle Boy?"Asian Market is in a narrow storefront maybe 15-20' wide in a plaza right on Hwy 19 N, with 20 seats arranged at the front, and grocery items running down the left wall the entire depth of the building. But what Asian Market lacks in space, it makes up for in a fairly solid selection of Asian grocery items, a condensed menu of Asian dishes made -to-order, super friendly staff, and spotlessly clean interior.Since there's no website for a menu, here you go: App rolls include veggie/spring/summer/grilled pork or chicken/edamame and beef dumplings. They have 5 salads (house, cucumber, squid, seaweed, baby octopus), and both pho and udom soups (soups are ~$7). Their 3 sandwiches include the popular banh mi, grilled pork/chicken for ~$5-6. Vermicelli (thin rice noodles known as "bún" in Vietnamese cuisine) can be had in 5 styles (spring rolls, grilled pork/chcken/shrimp and fried tofu) along with carrots, lettuce, bean sprouts, cucumbers, fresh herbs, crushed peanuts, and fried shallots with a special house sauce (~$7). And you can wash all of that down with one of their bubble teas ($4), which are popular all over Asia. Asian market has them in a variety of 18 different tea/coffee/fruit flavors, available in temps from hot to ice/slushy. They also have a cooler of canned/bottled drinks/water.But I came for the pho, and after the smiling young lady took my order at the counter, I entertained myself by checking out the long row of shelves with Asian goodies on them. Every few months I usually drive over the bay to Oceanic Market in Tampa for my Asian groceries as they have a huge selection. But I'm sure I'll be saving a lot of time by hitting Asian market for the basics and their surprisingly healthy amount of sauces and condiments. I'd estimate Asian Market has about 75 lateral shelf feet just of sauces/condiments, which includes about every kind I've ever gone to Oceanic for.After taking a good 10 minutes just to read the rows and rows of sauce/condiment labels, I knew it was a good sign they were making my pho fresh-to-order. After a few more minutes the young lady delivered it to my table, and my nose picked up the aromatics of fresh herbs and spices in the huge bowl from 5 feet away, and it smelled great. This pho had a well seasoned beef broth filled with rice noodles, a few shallots, a healthy amount of green onions and other greens, thin slices of well-done beef and some small slices/chunks from something in links I never quite identified....I could have done without that addition as I found the chunks bland with very little flavor or mouth feel. On the side was a small plate with thin slices of chili peppers and a lime wedge. The pho flavors were balanced and well-rounded, with the herbs carrying the heavy lifting. After tossing in a few chili pepper slices and some sriracha to add some heat, it was quite good for my tastes. Considering the big bowl could have fed two people, it was a good value as well.Considering this pho is being served up in a humble grocery store and not a full-fledged restaurant, I thought it was a good example of the magic blend all of pho's ingredients. Add that it's so convenient to me, and I'm glad Yelp led me to this find. I'll definitely be trying out some bun/vermicelli on my next trip.Atmosphere: 3Service: 4Food: 4Value: 4Update 9/26/12:Stopped by today for some cool summer rolls on a warm afternoon...delicious! Shrimp, noodles, carrots, cucumbers and lettuce with a delicious peanut sauce (see pic).

Best banh mi in Palm Harbor, hands down. I've only had the chicken, but the flavor is amazing. I have trouble slowing down and actually eating like a civilized human, it's that good.The lady is super nice, just give her a call before you head over and she'll start your order. If you don't know what you want, just stop by. It only takes a few mins and worth the wait.

I've been in there a couple times but never again. There are few items with prices shown. The older lady that works there is as friendly as a rattle snake. I have only bought canned and jarred goods there and their costs are way out of line compared to other markets. I strongly suspect that if a customer happens to be Asian they receive a much better price. There are better places to go, even if you have to drive a little farther.

No prices on any items until scanned st register.Count your change mistakes can happen
