Lotus Blossom — Local services in Fargo

WOW! This place is so amazing, I don't where to start. I was so lucky to get a private tour from the owner, Kina.(that's her in one of the pics) the place is Huge! it's not just clean, it's immaculate, spotless. The isles are wide for easy shopping. There is even a warehouse in the back of the store.

Not just the usual canned and frozen items you find in most Asian markets. The frozen are truly exotic, and for me having lived in Asia a lot of unknown items. (I can't wait to try the new things I saw)

The fresh cases are even more amazing. The fresh Shrimp are beautiful and not old. The other fresh items are equally fresh as well. Every type of Tofu you could imagine, on and on. They even carry Balut duck eggs!! a Filipino street food delicacy. I dare you to try one :-))

Now it gets better, They have a meat market cases with hard to find items, and selections for the average shopper.

The Asian cookware and tableware is unlike anything in Fargo.

Now the most amazing part! Kina took me in the back to a place the public doesn't have access to. Live tanks with Dungeness Crab from my home Ory-Gun. Fresh Lobsters and several variety's of live fish. The problem with most Live tanks is the fish loose weight after being introduced. Not here. Kina said they feed all the live fish so they don't loose weight. So Cool.

The prices are extremely competitive. The meat and seafood is a bargain. Don't forget to check out the frozen fish offerings.

Do Not pay attention to any negative reviews! You owe it to yourself to check the place out. You won't be disappointed.

Thank you Kina and everyone I met today. You have almost all of my grocery business...

This store has exponentially worst customer service that I've ever encountered, granted this store is bigger and had more variety. Me and my husband decided to shop to get few stuff in the asian market and this was the closest asian market as we live close to West Fargo. During the checkout process, we just got into the shortest line, thinking it would be quicker. After 3 minutes, the lady told us and few other people to go to a different line as this only for return services and there were no signs. She didn't even bother to apologize. By that time the other line was pretty long and people had quite bit of groceries. We waited for another 10 minutes and left our groceries. We drove all the way to Cashwise and luckily we were able to find everything we needed. This isn't the first time I had experienced a bad service. In the other occasion, I was with my sister and during the checout she was talking on her phone with the delivery guy or someone, we and few customers behind us were literally waiting for her to finish her conversation so that we could checkout. I bet we waited at least like extra 2 to 3 minutes. I did tell myself that I'm not going back to this store again. Well I made a mistake, i shouldn't have. I wouldn't have even given one star to this store. This one star is for the products they have, i would give negative 5 if I can for the service. Its very sad how some Asian stores take customers for granted. I would highly recommend people to go Asian and American Market located in 1015 Main avenue. I shop there all the time, they do have less products but they have way...

My friend was too furious with the service so I'm relaying the message. Here's what happened to her recently. She's been going to lotus for years and I know she's a very kind and courteous person. Some items are not marked with prices at lotus, so she often ends up asking the female clerk pricing on items. For whatever reason this clerk has always been inpatient to my friend, and told my friend she's causing trouble. If no one else but my friend is in the line, the clerk just ignores her, or keeps chatting with someone else, and purposely make her wait. Very often things ring up more expensive than marked, and the female clerk absolutely hates it when my friend brings it up... Maybe this is why the clerk has always been rude to her. Most people don't pay attention when prices are a bit off. On her last trip she asked the price of an unmarked item, the clerk said, why do you have to cause trouble (be a trouble maker), my friend was really offended and said she will not come back again, then the clerk said to her, "Leave!"

Most Asian friend I know prefer the other Asian market by main and 10th. People are always friendly, prices are lower, and selections are better. As for me 9.9 out of 10 times I go to this...
