Lovely little store. I was afraid that it was for tourist shoppers at first, but that is only the display snack items at the front. The owners know better than to play to stereotypes.
The store has an abundance of daily drivers once you reach the shelves. Ingredients, food staples, frozen, canned, and dry goods. Good quality and good prices.
Lots of variety from ready to eat snacks to the traditional eldritch ingredients plucked fresh from the den of cthulu that only your Japanese grandmother knows about. If you are a chef looking for the authentic ingredients, this place has them. If you are like me and just looking for something that is economical and easy to prepare and is made of real food, this is also the right place.

The owners are wonderful people and overall, the atmosphere, selection of items, and food is more than 10/10. Truly a treasure here...

Small local-owned market in downtown Scranton. Everything is fresh and clearly labeled. Even the freezers have signs on them so you don't have to wonder what's inside.
They also feature some local artist s fun nerdy art. I wasn't expecting that on my visit but will be back to buy some up.
Staff was helpful and courteous and even playfully interacted with my kids.
Definitely will be back for the assortment of produce and goods that I can't find even in the Asian section of the supermarkets.
Way to fill an...
