Been here a handful of times. It's easily the smallest Asian market I've ever been in, but they still have a decent selection of basic Asian food and ingredients, and their prices are extremely reasonable. The owners are quite friendly as well. I'd consider this a great little market if it weren't for my most recent visit.
Just after checking out, I turned to leave and saw a German Brown cockroach on one of the refrigeration units. I thoroughly checked my bag before depositing it into the trunk of my car, and checked everything again before introducing my purchases to my home.
This is a very serious issue that the owners need to acknowledge and address as soon as possible. Meanwhile, if you do choose to shop here, I'd suggest only purchasing pre-packaged items and check them thoroughly before making your purchase, giving extra attention to seams and folds.

The cuts of short ribs I purchased were meaty, & what I consider a good price, & it's also the only place I know to find them for sale. They have lots of seafood, even cuttlefish. My kids find treats here they enjoy too, & my wife found some cozy shoes, & some t-shirts. The people working there are also friendly, & ask if you need help finding anything. I plan to come here often, & am grateful they have this store in our...
