Update 10/14/19: Just a heads up to bring your own reusable bags unless you want to get charged for plastic bags. This seems to be similar to other stores in the area not being able to use plastic bags anymore. Otherwise, still a great store with friendly staff and good selection.
Original review: Great little shop to get some Asian food supplies. They don't have everything but it's good for Asian staples that I can't find at chain grocery stores. The item I get most often from them is pork belly with skin, which I can't find at Wegmans or Hannaford. Their bean sprouts are great and don't have the awful long tails I find for bean sprouts from chain...
Read moreWell Come Asian Market was OK. Just OK but not much better. It is a small local grocery store specializing in Asian groceries. Prices were suprisingly high and many of their offerings are now available in many major supermarkets at much more reasonable prices. However, many items are specialty items that you won't find outside of specialty shops. The store itself has a bit of a "dated" feel and reminded me of the old "corner market" I worked at in the late 1980s. Overall, I probably won't go back. When I have need of Asian specific groceries, I will most likely make the trip to the large Asian market in Allston or the very large Asian market...
Read moreOriginally, I thought this was an Asian supermarket but in reality, it's more like a convenience store - HOWEVER, the variety of goods that they carry ranging from harder to get fresh produce (like pork belly and bones) to rice crackers and soy sauce is commendable.
Parking spots are there and there are a few! There's also a great number of other little shops around (which I haven't explored) but definitely useful for a trip to get things done like a little meal.
I'm not sure about the prices but they seem to be OK. Strip of pork belly ~$6.
This is NOT a one stop shop for all your groceries though, they won't have common goods...
