Saigon Market — Local services in South Bend

I went here as a kid years ago living in DTSB. Have fond memories. However, today I will never step foot in the store again. I will admit it was my mistake. It was absolutely thundering, raining, and severe weather. So I unknowingly pulled into the wrong parking lot for my 6 hour appt, I later assumed I’d get a ticket. Okay. I definitely didn’t expect to get towed. But again. My fault.

What I am upset about is the store clerk being RUDE as heck when I asked if their building connected to the building next door so I didn’t have to run through the rain. She essentially “shooed” me out. Okay whatever. I run back through the rain, all is well. I go to my appt. I leave my appt. Upon realizing my car had been towed, I went back into the store and politely asked where they had my car towed. And the guy was polite until I asked him the question, then he got rude too. Yall had negative 10 customers in the store/in your parking lot so you couldn’t be mad I was blocking business. But the way that initial lady was offended I even entered the store tells me everything I need to...

If you want to have a cooking adventure with your children, Google up interesting Asian, Middle Eastern and African recipes. Select a couple, and head over to Saigon Market to shop! Great way to make a blah day exciting and TASTY!

LOVE this place! So friendly & informative! If you have questions about products, from what does the label translate to in English, to ideas how to use products, JUST ASK! :-)

Must add that they're the best in the area for foods unavailable in regular markets. Need chicken feet, squid, octopus, lamb, beef tongue, cockles? Check out their coolers and freezers! Best kimchi! Also offer items needed for African and Middle Eastern cuisine.

Parking lot is huge and belongs to them. No worry of a parking fee or ticket. Browse to your heart's content.

So look up that exotic recipe you've been dying to try & head over to Saigon Market. They'll help you get what you need! And prices are very reasonable!$!

I visited Saigon today to purchase some Yuca & a few other ethnic foods from Africa. Saigon is rich in variety of ethnic foods. They have goat meat. Smoked Tilapia. Cassava leaves. Plantains. Shelled fresh peanuts. Died peanuts. Ground peanuts..and peanut powder. Maize. Maize flour. Fresh mangoes. Fresh Guavas. Sweet potatoes. A plethora of Rice. Rice noodles. Pumpkin leaves(seasonal). Jamaican jerky seasoning.Tamarind. Nido. Tea. Cooking oil. Veggies... ummm....this might take all day...🤔

Bottom line; if you are a foodie, or you're from another country originally, visit Saigon..you will become less nostalgic. Period!!!

And the owner...absolutely lovely! Absolutely helpful! Absolutely, positively lovely❣ Asked me if there's anything in particular that we'd like to see in the store that they do not currently carry, so that he can order it especially...I mean, who does that!!?

*Also, store is clean & organized. Did I mention:...
