PNP ASIAN MARKET — Local services in San Marcos

Looked up this place on Yelp and had good reviews. First impression in not great. A/C not blowing well so it was humid and uncomfortably warm. Looked at the menu and asked if things were popular in order to order something but the response was always no. Finally ordered and food comes out. Tom kha... Didn't taste anything except for coconut milk. No sour or spice... Just coconut flavor. Green curry... There was a strong odor of canned baby corn that overpowered the curry flavor.

This is a great market! I love the selection of noodle and other various international foods. You can find the best Kimchi here! As well as mochi snacks, dried squid snacks, teas, sauces, vegetables, and seasonings you can't get at your local grocery store.

Absolutely fantastic! Not only is it a great little market, with very reasonable prices, but also an excellent restaurant. It takes a bit longer to get your food than most restaurants, but the wait is very very worth it. The food is great, large portions so I always have enough to make a second meal out of the leftovers. The market is also really nice. I expected it to be expensive, but it is not at all. Overall, the prices are the same or even lower than you would pay in a 'normal' store. It has become my favorite place to dine in San Marcos. Thank you, everyone who works there, for being so nice...
