| - If you live in Scottsdale, options for buying Asian goods and groceries are limited. House of Rice fills that gap for people that aren't able to get to the larger, newer supermarkets Lee Lee, Super L, or Mekong Supermarket.
The store is cozy with a lot of shelves stocked to the brim with Asian gifts, eating utensils, prepackaged foods, and sauces to name a few. There is a small fridge with groceries and an equally small freezer.
I came in here because they are one of the only stores to sell training chopsticks for kids. After searching at Lee Lee, Mekong, and Fujiya, House of Rice had not only a good supply of them in stock, but they had several different options and cute designs.
Overall, this doesn't seem like the type of store where you can get all your weekly grocery shopping at, instead being more of a specialty/novelty store for stocking up on a few Asian supplies. Nonetheless, it's great that this store has been in business for so long, and I love supporting local independently owned businesses with a long history of being in Arizona.
