See, once you get past the giant car-swallowing potholes and the very North-Tryon-seedy exterior, and get used to the idea that American grocery store standards of allover new-looking sparkliness are not necessary as long as the food prep surfaces are clean, this place is one of the true gems of NE Charlotte. I just walked in there and got a big box of char siu, five pounds of oxtails hacked straight from the tail (none of those little anemic packages of oxtails that the regular grocery stores sell for way too much money), and all the vegetables and fresh rice noodles i need for a week of good eating, for $33. If you know what to do with it the stuff you can buy there is awesome. Persimmons. Fresh young coconut. The fish is super fresh, much better than what you get from the fish case at Harris Teeter. Have them clean out the guts and the scales but leave the head and tail on; they'll like you better the next time you come in.
