Kim Nhung Superstore — Local services in Kentwood

We shop here for affordable groceries, and we love the awesome staff! They remember and get to know their regulars. You can definitely ask them for help finding specific things, learning what an item is and is used for, and choosing ingredients for whatever meal you’re planning. As far as their stock goes…they have a large selection of meat and seafood both frozen and fresh. Amazing produce, too- they stock a rotating selection of exotic fruits from all over Asia and the world (according to what’s in season) and they consistently have the same varieties of fresh vegetables and herbs available every time. Of course they have all the staples like rice (many types), kimchi, fresh and dried noodles, and several full aisles of all the condiments and sauces used in Asian cooking and beyond. We can come here with a recipe or a general idea for a dish of any Eastern cuisine whether it’s Vietnamese (of course), Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean or say, Filipino…even African! They really carry specialty imports from all over the rest of the world which you can’t get at Meijer, or even from a high-end gourmet grocery store (which only sells products from this continent and maybe some European brands and that’s it). There’s also frozen foods and desserts, hundreds of different instant ramens, unique snacks and candy, tea, drink mix & tapioca balls for making bubble/boba drinks…and much more I’m forgetting. Oh and they even have a home/kitchen goods section with cooking appliances/tools and dining-ware (including rice cookers, woks, bubble/boba tea straws, chopsticks, pretty ceramic...

I’ve been going to the store for years actually well over a decade. Every time I’ve been there, I’ve been treated with respect. anytime I had a question rather than simply pointing me into a direction an employee. Usually the males would walk me to where I need to go and then make suggestions as to what I wanted based on my taste, and what I was making. it’s kind of funny though because though I’m not an expert, I do cook a lot and not with just the simple ingredients and store-bought sauces. I’d like to use the actual recipes which take time and a lot of different ingredients. when I start asking for these ingredients ones I cannot find the look of fascination always makes me smile especially when they say oh you’re cooking that by yourself. Highly recommend this place. They are top-notch and always have good product. my only complaint would be that one time the crawfish or whatever they were were filled so far that they were falling out and walking around...

Five stars for produce selection. One star for cleanliness and upkeep. That averages 3 star.

The variety of produce is excellent; the mountains of fresh herbs are beautiful; and new discoveries seasonally.

All that positivity is overshadowed by the condition of the store.

The floor looks like it’s been mopped with the same water since the store opened; many of the ceiling tiles are threatening to fall on customers; the coolers are alarmingly tipped forward. And for the benefit of customers and employees alike, turn on the heat in the winter.

Something for Kim Nhung owners to think about: for many shoppers who are not from a Vietnamese background, your store is possibly an introduction to your culture and heritage. Do you want the take away to be a negative perspective of Vietnam and the Vietnamese people? And a question: do you keep your home in the same state of disrepair and...
