Great selection and beautiful store. Been here twice and the woman working the front counter was very rude.
The first time I was there this week there was a drink that wasn't priced properly so I said I didn't want it as it rang up more than twice the posted price. As she went to put it back she really wanted to argue/give attitude about it and I pointed out the sticker below. She ignored me and left the sticker there. I get that it's a new spot and they're still ironing out issues but it was blatantly obvious that it wasn't properly priced.
Yesterday I went there to get stuff to make kimchi and figured I'd inquire if they had some of the cat treats that are notoriously awesome coming from Asia. When I came in I asked if they had pet treats (same lady) and she was really rude about it with a sharp tone. I just left and bought my kimchi stuff at Kiva.
The store is beautiful and they have a lot of amazing staples for Asian cooking but the customer service is severely lacking (maybe it's just the one person.) If you're downtown and need essentials it's a good spot, but for an overall better experience go to Sunrise in...
Read moreSunrise was closed, so I went here. Parking seems limited. Selection also limited. It's not bad, per se but I couldn't find some items I was looking for. For instance, this market doesn't sell yakisoba. Some items were slightly cheaper than Sunrise, others slightly more expensive. So comparable prices. Overall, you can find basic supplies here. They seem to be strongest with Chinese and Korean goods.
Cashier was gruff. I don't care about smiles and talking; but I could barely hear her and she was more interested in the television than the sale. All right, you know what you're doing, you don't have to stare at the wall waiting for me to sign. Didn't get a thank you.
I came in late (after Sunrise closed) and I constantly felt like I was in someone's way while they stocked the store. At Sunrise, if the guy's stocking, you just move somewhere else for a few minutes and come back. Here it seemed like I couldn't find a spot to look at things without getting in the way somewhat.

Read moreI LOVE THIS PLACE! If you need oil preserved bean curd, dried lily flower, yacai, shaoxing wine, snow fungus, duck eggs, mung bean noodles, or literally any imaginable kind of sauce, this is your stop. They also have a great selection of snacks, including the cereal I ate when I lived in Japan (I didn't even know it was exported!?)
The produce selection is relatively small, but definitely makes up for it in quality. Absolutely delicious, fresh Chinese veggies on a rotating selection. I've never not been able to find what I needed here.
The prices are great, (i.e. you can get a packet of yacai for ~1.58 vs. 12.58 for 2 on Amazon) and they also have a substantial selection of cookware and home goods that are shockingly affordable.
