i super love you, amko for having ginormous bags of cumin and tahini and crazy low prices on tofu. i like that i can get a lot of produce and peeled garlic and thai basil for relatively cheap -- and it looks and smells pretty fresh. i like all the bulk grains and the flours. my kids grew up in chicago, right off argyle and broadway, and they loved getting rice candy and panda cookies -- so coming to amko is like a little trip back home to them.
this store is cramped in a lot of good ways. there is some serious inventory in here. whether you need tiger balm or dieters tea or a half pound of ginseng -- you will find it here. as someone who eats a plant based diet, i find that i can often shop for things here that i might pay double for in a health food store or meijer type store.
worth checking out for sure if you haven't.
