Sunrise International Market — Attraction in Franklin Township

Great service and great prices! Everything that I needed was found!! Some items were tucked away in an isle that I would have not guessed they would be, however, the staff are super helpful.

One of the staff did not speak English well enough to understand I was looking for dried shrimp, but he took out his phone, brought up Google translate and had me spell it out in English and he had it translated to Korean. Speak about customer service! He could have easily said he didn't know and passed me off to someone else... I forgot to mention I stopped him in the middle of wheeling a giant cart full of stuff.

He parked his cart and walked me all the way down to the freezer section. I stopped him near the dried goods which was almost on the other side of the store. When we got to the dried shrimp he made sure to ask if I needed help with anything esle before he went back to what he was doing.

I also had help at the butcher area. I had to also get some beef bones to make some pho. I told the guy I want 3 full size pieces, but had him cut them into 3-4 inche cuts so they could fit into my pot. "No problem," he said. All of their veggies were priced slightly lower than the other "Asian/international" stores...and to top it off, the prepackaged veggies are larger. So you're getting more and still pay less!!

Right now... Which I didn't know when I walked in...all customers are receiving a 10% discount as part of their grand opening. Not sure how much longer that's gonna last. But this is on top of thier already lower prices!

So I'm super happy...

Excellent Asian supermarket with lots of offerings! They carry Latino, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, and some Indian selections, so this is truly more of an international market than most Asian supermarkets in the greater Columbus area. It's a pretty big store, also!

My only reservation is that it's organized somewhat confusingly. For example, housewares are separated into two different locations instead of collected in one general area, and foods are seemingly separated by ethnicity, but not really marked in a way that makes it easy to identify what type you're looking at - this is especially true of the frozen food aisles. And there are like three or four separate frozen food aisles scattered around the store, but not a lot of rhyme or reason to what items are stored in each.

HOWEVER, the prices are competitive, they offer cooked food and a full bakery with cakes, pastries, etc , and I think there's a little cafe in there, too.

All the produce and meats (there's a full butcher counter, and one for seafood) seem very fresh and there's a LOT to choose from in those departments - I feel the produce department rivals any Kroger or Meijer in the area for freshness and variety, actually.

Could be a one-stop shop for your weekly grocery list if you are...

Building is dated but clean for the most part. Social distancing is applied and enforced here which I like. Lots of parking available. Most of the staff do not speak English very well and not very friendly but there are a small handful that make up for them. Live, Fresh fish offered. Prices on seafood is inexpensive to fair and reasonable. Speciality meats offered. They even have Balut here. Not farm fresh balut but isn't too bad tasting. Fresh fruits and veggies are plentiful. They have fried whole tilapia and butterfish at the restaurant inside for a ridiculously enticing price as well as their fried chicken dummies and quarters. Delicious food offered for a cost that won't empty your wallet quickly. Manager is professional and polite, courteous to customers, knowledgeable and friendly. I enjoy shopping here for my fresh meats, seafood and many other food items. I also have purchased a lot of kitchen items such as pots, pans, strainers, utensils, cutting boards, Japanese style dishes and bowls, sake sets, etc. Highly recommend this establishment to others. Give it a try, it may end up being your favorite Asian grocery to go place! It definitely is mine. Happy 2021 everyone...
