I only went to the grocery shop. Nice medium Asian grocery store with a pretty good variety of stuff. They’ve got seasonings and sauces from Chinese, Thai, Japanese, and Vietnamese brands, and a ton of Korean instant noodles. They have most of what you’d expect from an Asian market.
The frozen food section has a good mix, and I saw some fresh seafood and fish too (I haven’t tried them yet). The veggies looked okay. Prices are about average compared to other Asian stores—some things are cheaper, but a few, like mushrooms, are a bit more expensive.

Plus the new Asian Town Center is beautiful and they're adding new businesses and community connections all the time. Go...

Be totally prepared for the price increases if you dont go often, like I do. I was taken aback a great deal.
Just be sure to ask for help from one of the younger folks who speaks english, if you have any serious questions. - The older ones are usually a bit irritated if you bother them with the language barrier issue and rightfully so!
If I had 50 ignorant Americans a day asking for something that they can't even describe well in english, I can only imagine how'd I'd feel if I...
