Asian grocery stores and supermarkets stock ingredients, snacks and household goods that general American supermarkets often do not carry, organized by category rather than by country of origin in most stores. Produce and live or fresh seafood sections are usually at the back or side of the store, and weekend mornings bring the largest crowds and freshest restock. Many larger Asian supermarkets include a hot deli or food court counter selling prepared meals by the pound or as fixed plates, useful for a quick lunch while shopping. Labels are frequently bilingual or untranslated, so store staff can usually help locate a specific ingredient if you ask. Cash, cards and mobile pay are all commonly accepted at larger chains; smaller specialty shops may be cash-preferred.

Lots of good products & friendly service, I really want to shop here, but but also lots of expired products. Apparantly owner doesn’t understand or care about food safety so I cannot shop here. Today is June, 2026: I failed to check & bought a product that expired in 2022. Almost 4 YEARS past its freshness date. I opened the box, it smelled off & musty, checked the date, 4 years old, clearly frozen & thawed & refrozen, very dangerous & gross. Disrespectful to customers.

Open blade box cutter sitting on protein bars. Customer could easily cut themselves. Said hello when I walked in. No response. Shopped and went to check out. Stood at counter a long time while a guy helped another customer without once looking my way or saying anything or saying hi. I left empty handed. I will go to Whole Foods for same stuff. This is a horrible store. Needs new owners. This is not my first time at this store.

Ever since I started making gluten-free bread myself, I buy most of my ingredients here since you can buy them in small, loose-weight quantities, so you don’t have tons of bags with starches/flours/baking sodas etc. cramming the cupboards. I also like that they have the Earth Balance soy-free variety of the vegan butter, since that one is hard to find in supermarkets. And I buy loose-weight jasmine tea here too. Now I’ve discovered that the owner makes and sells his own samosas here every day — both regular and gluten-free — and they taste fantastic and are very reasonably priced ($2.29 each + tax). They come with the two classic red and green Indian sauces. That’s a great deal.

It has come to my attention that a significant portion of the inventory, specifically supplements and various products, at this health food store may be past their expiration dates. I advise customers to exercise caution and verify product freshness prior to purchase. During a recent visit, a cashier acknowledged this concern, attributing the situation to the owner's apparent disinterest in addressing the issue, citing continued customer purchases as justification. It is imperative that we prioritize our well-being by diligently checking expiration dates and persistently voicing our concerns. Despite premium pricing, the owner has reportedly shown no inclination to rectify the presence of expired merchandise. I intend to not only publish this review but also formally report this critical public health matter to the Department of Health.

I enjoy getting loose leaf from here and some other herbs. He’s very knowledgeable but I don’t appreciate being followed around the store every single time I come in. Any aisle you go in he just so happens to be stocking up right next to you. 👎🏾
