| - I would say the best overall asian grocery store in Cleveland is here. The facility is large, clean, and have many products I couldn't even imagine. The staff here is always helpful and friendly so don't hesitate to ask someone if you can't find something or have any questions. The cooked food section is amazing! Real, authentic, and delicious asian eats such as roast pork, sesame balls, yau-tiu (fried cruellers), soy milk, and my FAVORITE, their duck! They have an amazing selection of korean and filipino foods, but a bit short on the chinese products. Fish dept is a bit smaller than the other places, though they do have the essentials. Not the busiest market in the area, but definitely the most fun, and happiest atmosphere. I go to other markets once in awhile and though more people, the staff and customers seem to be drudging their time. Here, the staff are casually socializing with anyone that has questions and having a good time.
Although everyone has their own experiences and are free to have their own opinion about places, I find some of the 1-star reviews are a bit mis-directed. Two people had issues with products (snack and fruit) which no-one could tell had any issues until actually opening it up. Box is unexpired, or the fruit looks fresh on the outside, how can anyone short of x-ray vision know that the item was bad. Seems like a supplier issue, not their fault. Probably should've brought it to their attention and see how they would've handled it. Though I can say they may have some items past their time but they haven't failed to address them when brought to their attention in my experiences.
Anyways I digress. The store always changes a little bit after a few months so I don't know if they're trying new layouts or if they do it to keep people on their toes lol. Either way I always seem to have to ask where things are when they're moved but they're more than helpful. They have a small cafeteria/ restaurant in the back which has some decent Pho, though their spicy soup (bun bo hue) is the one to go for. In short, this place has all the essentials you'll need, great friendly staff, clean big store, some products are lacking, but their hot prepared food is the best bar none! ...Did i forget to mention they have fidget spinners? Ha!
