I have quickly realized that "North Charlotte" is the city's redheaded step-child, and it shows in the upkeep of many of the businesses in that area. At International Supermarket, it means you have to navigate potholes galore to find a parking spot.
Unfortunately, the outside mirrors what's going on the inside. I am no stranger to Asian supermarkets and I have to confess, I was not too impressed with this one. The smell, I can deal with (an open air display of fish greet you at the entrance). Even the surly teenage kids checking you out, I can deal with. However, I could not deal with the disorganized aisles and roadblocks of boxes throughout the store. That said, I found here the very thing I came here looking for: Shitaki tofu and yam noodes. This *may* be the only place in Charlotte that carries them, so for that reason (and only that reason), I will likely return.
