| - searching for a pre-made bahn mi for $3? maybe some fruit snack flavoured beef jerky? perhaps in need of a gallon container of pickled ginger? how about a new tea set? overseas market has your back.
I might stop in for a new lamp or decorations before I go back for food (seriously, some ridic lamps and candles), but it is a nice sized store (surprisingly large) and well organized, by cuisine. Walking in, if you go to the right there is a nice snack aisle (wasabi peas, dried seaweed, pocky sticks, the filled koalas that aren't quite "yummies") followed by the Filipino section with super cheap dried mangoes and papayas and lots of "banana sauce" (that does not come with a plastic safety ring or a no-tampering pull lid on the inside, fyi) To the left are aisles of latin, indian, thai, vietnamese, and on and on. Fairly good selection, lots of dried and canned mushrooms, like an insane amount. And a lot of agar, tapioca powder, palm products, and gums.
I have to say the produce was less than fresh. they did have a good selection of mung beans, bok choys, and cabbage (on their last leg) - but the bell peppers and jalapenos were no good and about half the selection of herbs were past their prime.
They had two lobsters in the tank and an assortment of fish and shrimp. There is an area devoted to cups, bowls, and other dinnerwares, but I didn't explore it thoroughly, and a decent freezer selection. An odd retail selection other items were blocking me from looked interesting, maybe I'll get to check it out next time, There is also a reach-in cooler near the register with the previously mentioned bahn mi, cheesecakes, some pork roll (log?) that I have yet to wrap my head around, and lots of kimchi.
I prefer International Market, but if I'm on this side of town Overseas will most likely have what I need.
