| - If you're searching for a specific ethnic item, this is your supermarket.
We're hosting a dinner for four and Japanese is going to be the menu. First thing first, they only have sushi-grade tuna on Wednesdays. Their reasoning is, it's expensive to offer it daily. They also only offer poke during Friday and Saturday and they're closed on Sundays.
Nonetheless, I stocked up on soybean paste for miso soup, nori (seaweed), furikake flakes for my Japanese noodles, soba buckwheat noodles, frozen masago, wasabi, ginger, tofu, sake set, rice vinegar, and even a sushi mat. Anyhow, you get my drift, because they almost carry everything under the sun to make hosting a success.
The market has aisles labeled Mediterranean, Italian, German and a much bigger section dedicated to Asian, Polynesian food. If you know what you want, just ask, because locating the item can be a bit frustrating. They have an impressive selection for all the different food. For example, they must have at least 10+ different brands of soy sauce, 15+ different types of rice in small and bulk size.
There is so much to write, my review can be pages long. They have snacks from all over the world, cookies, oils from peanut to grape seed. They have beautiful Chinese vases from one foot tall to a few feet tall. There are woks that are restaurant quality, scoops of all sizes and massive skewers that are perfect for a large BBQ.
Come here to get all your ingredient for a Chinese hot pot, Italian dinner, Japanese sushi night, or even a Mediterranean dinner with all the lavash you can eat.
They're a bit closer than Chinatown, but it's a far trek just to get what I need. The other option is go to 3 other markets near home, pay higher prices for the exotic items and settle for what I can't find.
All the prices are marked 5% lower for all members who pay a yearly $10 fee.
