Lots of Chinese products for sure. Not much variety with brands and items compared to other Asian groceries. I was in the area and needed to buy Thai curry. They only had the typical Japanese brand. I was expecting a good amount of meat choices when I looked at photos. They barely had any in stock. A lot of the frozen items are rock solid frozen that shouldnt need to be if replaced frequently. It makes me question the expiration dates for all of their stuff. I was going to grab a Japanese cheesecake that I love buying when I go to Chicago. It was rock solid in the freezer. This should be in the fridge section. I was hoping this store would hold a level of quality better than most Asian stores but it’s the same. I went up to pay my items and the cashier didnt even acknowledge me. He was really taking his time putting new plastic grocery bags on the hooks before ringing my items up. He only used one bag for all of my items which is fine but I had pork belly which I would prefer to have a separate bag for. So yeah. They dont know how to properly bag items or just trying to pinch every penny. They don’t accept AMEX so I almost left without paying and he ushered me over to come back.

Read moreDon't go to this store! We went shopping at this supermarket yesterday and just as we started our car after loading our purchases, an old man (who we later learned was a cashier) violently knocked on our car.

After checking, he found nothing that didn’t belong to us, but he remained very aggressive and rude, not offering a single apology. He even said, 'I suspect you stole something, why can't I check your car?' They don’t understand the law at all. Moreover, the items we bought were expired, the cake was moldy, and the fruit...
Read moreNot a regular shopper in this Oriental Grocery Store. However, I have encountered pricing problems for multiple times! The labeled prices for some product are different at the check-out counter! The check-out price appear ALWAYS with a HIGHER prices!! For instance, I bought a bag of Havista Black Rice recently. The label price on the self for it is $10.00 But the rice at the check-out counter is $13.99, which is almost 40% higher! Since this kind of mislabeling have happened to me several times, I don't think this is just accidents and this will not be considered an honest business behavior. Therefore, I would like to see the store take this problem seriously to ensure the pricing accuracy. Meanwhile, the fellow shoppers should check on your...
