Tai Nam Food Market — Attraction in Lake View Township

Quite well stocked for a small grocery. What stands out the most is not only that they carry a full array of Asian items, but that they carry multiple different brands of the same items. I especially noticed this in the canned and sauce sections. For each type of sauce or canned item, there was usually more than one brand to choose from, and often from a variety of brands, not only sticking to one or two throughout the store.

Great variety and very nice service! You can get a nice price on meats and fish that are really fresh. But of course, there's a great variety of Vietnamese and other Asian specialties! From homemade style desserts to a great variety of packaged noodles, there's A LOT of stuff here! Definitely check out their canned exotic fruits like jackfruit, longan, lychee, etc.! I tend to keep an eye on my stuff though when I visit because it apparently is an issue here (They have a wall where they have pics from their cameras of baddies in the act!). Avoid the bathroom, as they don't seem to clean it on a regular basis! On my visits, I have noticed many customers appear to be coming in from the suburbs, and I would say it's definitely worth...
