United Oriental Food

I always come here when I'm in town. It's an Asian market that has lots of groceries. In the back, you can find authentic Lao dishes. I'm glad that they're here because it gives me the opportunity to pick up some authentic dishes while I'm in town. I've tried various items each time I've come here. A previous time, I tried their papaya salad on medium spice, but I can't eat too spicy so that spice level was a little too high for me. This time I got the non spicy papaya salad lol. Their papaya salad is pretty good. It's made pretty authentic. You can also find sticky rice in the cooler so it's always good to pick up to go if you wanna have some sticky rice. There's also various desserts and appetizers. Plenty to choose from. This time, I got their beef jerky and fried pork belly. It was good. The pork belly had a nice crunch to it and also had a nice flavor. The jerkies also had a nice flavor. Precious times I've gotten their chittlins and it wasn't bad either. I'm not big on chittlins, but my other half is and he loved theirs. They're opened pretty early and we always come about 30 mins to an hour after they open. They have always had the cooked foods in the back that early.

So lucky to find this gem while we were in the area. It was too easy to spend $$ here. Not a big fancy place but they have allll the basics and some. We dropped by specifically for the deli section in the back of the establishment. The first day we went by we got a little of everything they had ready and stopped by a local park to enjoy our goodies. My husband really enjoyed the different jeows they had. (We dropped by again the next day to stock up before leaving back home) They have sticky rice in a small cooler as well that pairs very well with the jeows and pretty much everything. The fried liver was probably my favorite. It's nostalgic for me. Probably the most disappointing item we got was the papaya salad but that's just because I prefer mine a certain way. Ladies in the back don't speak much but one of the ladies up front was so so nice. She was very interactive with my boys even though they were being shy. It was really sweet.Looking forward to the next time we drop in!

Great selection of Asian food. The clerk speaks English. Great value on meats too. They will custom cut meats for you. Fantastic deli in the back. Thai and Vietnamese style.

This store has authentic ingredients and certain foods that MD Oriental doesn't have like roasted rice powder and thum buk huang (Asian papaya salad).also duck eggs.yummy

It is an interesting Lao's grocery store. I was hope to get some cook food deli like it show on the store front. Seem like the deli did not operate. We enjoy our shopping there. We pick up few item we have not seen before. We got crispy fish chip. Interesting looking. They do have meat department. You can get all pig intestines, stomach or kidney in this store. The store also have some homemade dessert you can pick up. The veggies section is small but sufficient. A lot of frozen seafood. Overall this market is small. We like some item we have not try before. Good experience.

OMG. Drove from Orlando. Came back here again.... excellent wrapped food from the DELI. Very good. Hello people of Florida! You need to come here and buy some good Lao wrapped food. Wow. Fried chicken was the bomb!!! Everything is good.Highly recommended. I will be back when I'm in town. LOVE IT. Hmong food

Wide variety of items, from produce to fresh and dry noodles, seafood, spices, etc. it's always a great one stop shop for all things delicious

Wasn't too bad. It's nice that they sell "Asian" foods in Richmond but they don't have any of the basic stuff like they do in H-Mart.

An okay, medium sized Asian market with an emphasis on Southeast Asian foods.I usually do my shopping in Tampa, but I thought I'd try Pinellas Park to see if I could find some hard-to-find Thai ingredients. I was disappointed, but I did have fun exploring this market.If you want to throw a boba tea party, you can buy all sorts of powdered flavorings and popping bobas. There's quite a variety of pre-made Vietnamese and Laotian foods available. I bought a bunch of desserts I rarely see in Florida. However, I didn't find any of the grocery items I wanted to find. It's possible that I missed seeing them, but I did scan the whole store twice.I'll probably stick to my side of the bay for my shopping as I do know where to find most items I use regularly at Oceanic or MD Oriental. But it's nice to know that when I'm in Pinellas County, there's a place to buy things like che banh lot and taro tapioca pudding.

I am glad that others had recommended this oriental market to us because I would have had no idea that it ever existed. As I walk into the store, the scent of the store took me immediately back to my childhood. In a good way. It is very neat and clean, everything is where you would expect it to be. I also found items that the other oriental markets don't have such as more dinnerware options and kitchenware. I really enjoyed this place and if I ever need anything when I am in the area, this place is a treasure.
