Oh my gosh, it's been a long, long time since I've been compelled to write a review here on Yelp. But I made a neat little discovery. A while back that I have been meaning to share with folks. I actually did a video on it but I am just now getting to it.
We were planning on doing some Asian food for the college football tailgating we do and in a conversation, someone in the group mentioned this oriental market on S. Bel Air Road.
About a week later, I dropped in on Z's and was really, really pleased at the help I got fro their staff, as I was not familiar with the variety or possibilities of food for what we were doing. They took the time to walk me through everything, made some great suggestion. And here's the kicker, even offered to help get me the freshest vegetables possible, if I could give the a date by which I would need it.
Then, while I was there, I got some things to test on the wings...and OGM! They turned out fantastic. I became a fan like pronto with Z's.
Since, I've gone by a couple other local oriental-Asian stores. y take away was that Z's was TONS cleaner, the SELL BY DATES on the food were updated (unlike one I went by), and the service was just much more helpful (and presentable). At Z's, you would not be afraid to take the samples of food I was offered while there. Some other places, no way!
No parking issues. Very easy to get to, right off I-20. Hours of operation make late afternoon runs for last minute throw together meals (that's me).
Anyway, my experience with Z's was fantastic and has me made feel that sharing it would be valuable...

Read moreZ's Oriental Market is in a small strip mall. Parking is limited. The store itself has very little selection of only a few isles and the prices were high compared to other nearby Asian markets. The building had a bunch of gambling machines and lotto tickets.
