| - Welcome to an air-conditioned small warehouse of TONS of global goodies. I wasn't sure how they'd feel about me taking photos of everything (so I didn't) but the dried, bottled/canned and frozen selections here are ridiculous! The produce section is ok and the seafood section like fish and sushi grade items are lack luster (your options are way better at Whole Foods, 99 Ranch or Seafood City). But for snacks, sauces, condiments, pickled stuff, noodles, frozen dumplings and whatever you'll need or want to try out in making an International meal, you will find here. The European aisles were quite narrow/crowded but still filled with so many items I wanted to try. As you weave your way to the Asian rows, they become wide and offer more selections. I did not notice if they had Indian stuff but you can get everything from Swedish herring to Taiwanese shrimp paste.
Looking for a spice you recently discovered at a restaurant... or for inspiration for your next recipe... or for a quick fix to your cravings from a 3rd world childhood? (or from a more affluent European upbringing?) Then this is your spot. I'm sorry but I didn't know about any membership discount but certain items I would buy in the Hispanic-Asian aisle at Walmart or at a nearer/smaller Asian grocery store are much cheaper in this place. So give it a go! Trust me, you'll want to buy so much stuff, so go on a payday and don't bring a hyper toddler so you won't be nervous around the crowded bottle aisles. :)
P.S. There's a tiny spot at the entrance that sells roasted duck and dim sum. I didn't get to try the duck, and the dim sum is waaaaaayyy cheap but not good.
