| - I live in Chinatown and this is by far my top pick among grocery stores in the area. They have everything I need for Chinese cooking, from fresh Pixian chili bean paste to excellent soymilk and pork belly. Their produce is generally fresh and affordable.
Since this is my regular grocery store, I also appreciate how they have a few "Western" stapes - milk, cereal, yogurt, etc. - in the back.
In comparison to other grocery stores in the area, Lucky Moose stands out because (as other reviewers have noted) the place has no bad smell. The meat area does have a bit of a smell, but it's separated off from the rest of the store (and, incidentally, the butchers are lovely people). Overall, the store is very clean and everything is well-organized.
There's also a great selection of delicious Asian snack foods, from Sriracha peas to green tea Kit Kats and Japanese "sushi" candy.
Finally, it's open until 10 pm, so if you feel like grocery shopping at night (which I often do) it's there for you.
