I had a $50 gift card given to me some 1.5 years ago and just today made it to the store. Welp, loved it!…from the variety of exotic fruits to the cultural experience the store is in its entirety. I brought my 10-year-old boy with me who was entertained seeing the crabs, the different kinds of fish, snacks that he’s never seen before and then some! I filled up my cart with groceries and at the end, we each got a smoothie - mango and pear. Next time I plan that we, also, eat there. Certainly, want to try desserts, as well. Prices were reasonable. A busy place. Can’t wait to go back to try new foods and drinks.

Literally. My favorite Asian market to shop at between their cooked food section. Their bobos are amazing AK. A bubble drinks there are steamed buns are to die for and I never leave out of there without getting a pineapple coconut bun. As well as doing my grocery shopping. The prices are never extreme, which is great and nowadays, economy.And the staff will help you, though they can be a little feisty, but I'm never upset about it.It's part of their culture.And I always respect that I actually appreciate it.

This place has everything you need, and more, at great prices. Local NC free-range eggs for under $4? That alone makes the trip worth it. The pre-made dumpling selection is fantastic, and the à la carte Asian dishes are a must-try. Only downside: the grocery carts are a bit worn and can feel bulky in the narrow aisles on busy days. But that won’t stop us—we’ll definitely be back!

Great selection of produce, noodles and sauces, basically anything you need for Asian cooking, including pots, pans and dishes. The buns in the bakery are amazing. We also got a strawberry cake there and it was absolutely delicious. Not very sweet, just perfect
