International Asian Market — Local services in South Daytona

Recently expanded (about 1-2 months ago). There generally more rare asian vegetables for sale (Snow pea tips, water spinach) but not always there. Can always call to check. There is frozen deserts, usually a decent selection of various forms of tofu (if not sold out). Hot Pot items, just not like sliced pork belly and etc. All sort of pantry items (sauces and etc) . Various asian drinks. Various asian fruits ranging from starfruit to Persimmons (season dependent). Stables such as Napa is almost always on sale. Items for Congee/Hot Rice Porridge. Some restaurant sized items, like large container of soy sauce. This appears to be more of a "mom and pop" style operation. For non-locals, do not expect the prices to be like that from "H-Mart" or "Lotte" ... this is not a large corporation operation! There is a decent selection of mushroom, if you fan of straw mushroom they always have it. Perishable goods aren't generally stocked in large amounts when they have their supplies brought in, just heads up! For asians looking for asian goods, this probably the best you will find in this area, unless you willing to drive at least an hour towards Orlando...

A large number of shelf items are expired (years) past the use-by date. Produce is literally moldy (lemongrass for example) or rotten (bean sprouts). Bean sprouts are especially dangerous rotten because they can contain harmful bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella.

I've been shopping at this store for 5 years and it has really gone downhill as far as quality, while the prices keep going up. The high turnover items like spring roll wrappers are great, but anything even slightly perishable is risky. Depending on the day the manager is either rude or helpful. You never know how she will treat you. That's why so many of these reviews say one or the other.

If you don't want to go all the way up to ISB to the other Oriental Grocery, the Key Foods (Bravo) supermarket on S Nova Rd and Beville Rd. in South Daytona (across from Aldi) has many of the produce items fresh and shelf items at...

Lucky Jovy's Oriental Food & Eatery is a blessing find. The proprietor was very helpful, and her daughter Jovy (who the shop/restaurant is named) was such a delight. Upon entering, Jovy asked if it were my first time there. When I answered "Yes" she said "you can try anything you see." Imagine an 8 or 10- year old saying that. She walked with me and I told her what I was looking for. She showed me several varieties of noodles and lumpia wrappers to suit my purpose. She then encouraged me to taste the restaurants food. I did, and after Jovy cashed me out, I went home with prepared food I hadn't intended to purchase. Her mom said she loves the business and comes there after school to "work". I highly recommend this shop and eatery. It is pleasant and they also cater. They have pork belly, lechon, BBQ, lumping, pandit and more. You will not be...
