Cho Saigon New Market — Attraction in Arlington

This is a good Asian market with nice selection. Yes, it is an old building and shows its age - a little renovation would go a long way, but considering the neighborhood, not likely soon. I did notice them sprucing up the entry... a good start.

The store is reasonably clean with little of the troubling fish pong you often find in Asian markets. A good sign.

DONT GO. (he is Asian, he wears glasses and he...

This is my go to for Asian foods. This place is great! Has exotic fruits you can't get in American super markets. You can order meats at the meat counter & they will give you the weight you want and cut the meat for you. I have them shave the meat thin for Pho' soup or Korean tacos. They also have a fresh seafood counter. Every kind of seasoning & sauces to choose from. Fresh fruits & vegetables or canned fruits & vegetables. They have what you need to make Asian dishes or go to frozen section and buy Asian dishes already prepared. They have an entire isle of Ramen Noodles. I've been coming here for years! You will...
