| - This has got to be my favorite grocery store for Asian goods. They have pretty much everything, and I'm always tempted to try new things. I really like cooking so I'm always trying to find new things to mess around with in the kitchen.
Stepping into the store, you may feel overwhelmed with the variety and amount of goods in the store. You also get a waft of that Chinese grocery store smell.
The selection of vegetables is very good compared to the other grocery stores around town. They regularly have veggies that many of the other grocery stores don't carry in addition to what the other stores have too.
They have a wide selection of soy products, pickled goods, spices, noodles, rice, frozen goods, and all kind of sauces from all over Asia.
While I never buy meat here, they seem to have a lot like duck, chicken, pork, beef.
The selection of fish is pretty good. There are many kinds of whole fish and filets. What's really nice is that the owners of the store know their fish very well. I can pull out a random fish from the freezer to ask them and they'll give me the name of it and how to cook it to perfection.
I feel like every time I got, which is mostly weekly, there is something new that shows up among the regular items. It could be interesting fruit, seafood, packaged goodies, etc.
But the best thing of all are the owners. They are extremely nice and helpful. They always ask about how I am doing and let me know any new interesting things going on with them or in the store. they also give good recipes and recommendations. It's really cozy and I feel so invited every time. I am sad that I'll be done with college soon and will be moving. I wish I could take the store with me.
