Fooks Foods — Local services in Athens-Clarke County Unified Government

I have been shopping at Fook’s Foods for 10 years, starting back when they were off Baxter Street. I was so glad when they moved to this Milledge Avenue spot. It’s a bigger location and there is plenty of parking. Karen, the owner, is very helpful and also very blunt. I’ve appreciated that through the years. She’s very honest about her opinions and her recommendations. I go shopping there probably two or three times a month. A few of the things I always buy are 25 lb bags of rice, rice paper, oyster sauce, dumplings, wontons, yu choi, and Asian candies.

During this time of Covid, I’ve been so glad they have stayed open. I have never seen anyone without a mask in the store. Few people would probably want to make Karen chastise them though. Hah!

They are very nice in there and even though there is a language barrier, the fellow in there is nice and helpful with a great selection of items. If not that, take a drive to Pleasant Hill Road off I85 going into Atlanta. There you will find the Super H Mart and the Great Wall, both are Wal-Mart sized asian super markets that even have live fish and other things to eat you can't imagine, the best fresh vegetables, just an amusement park of food including Asian food courts . There is also the Hong Kong Market off Jimmy Carter. You can literally spend the day at these places.
