    I love the Mom and Pop feel of 168 Asian Market. They carry a huge variety of goods at reasonable prices. We get our day-to-day ingredients and veggies at 168 and even bought our Zojirushi rice cooker at a few extra bucks more to support a local place vs online. My favorites, though, are the Asian snacks and drinks - it's so fun seeing all the choices!!

    This place is fantastic of you're looking for Asian goods and foods. The store is a bit everywhere but you can find so many different products here. Anywhere from anime teas to chip flavors you'll have a hard time finding elsewhere. The people who run the store are really happy every time I come in and it's just generally neat place.

    This Asian market had the lemon tea I was looking for. I also saw a new KitKat flavor and some matcha chewy candy. Checking out was easy and cashier was friendly. There was lots of items, including frozen items and kitchenware.

    I love this market. I cook mostly Thai cuisine and they had everything that I needed here. I do make my own.pho balls but occasionally I buy them and they had a great assortment at a pretty good price. I really liked the guy that checked me out and for me everything was so quiet so it was perfect ambience. Although it's very very close to the casino, it wasn't busy at all when I did go in and the service was excellent.

    Was in town to check out a couple of specific ingredients when cooking traditional food, I found them here at this location. There are a variety of imported goods here and a decent small section of produce and seafood, dry goods and meats. It's a mom and pop store which I truly support. The attendant at the register was polite and boxed my items . I would come back again when in town.

    I had a hard time writing this review because I am from the Bay Area and there are so many Asian supermarkets out there. And only 2, that I know of, in Reno. My friend just told me that there are 4 more Asian supermarkets in Sparks; I will visit them soon. Quality/Quantity - Okay, we had a craving and did an emergency run for some dry noodles. Atmosphere - Plenty of parking. This place never seems to have many customers. The place seems clean and organized. Service - Okay, seems nice, the cashier did not really talk. Price - Expensive compared to the Bay Area, but when it is your only option... 4% Credit Card Surcharge I am NOT a fan of all these additional fees when we travel - Surcharges, Living wage, SF Mandate, SF Ordinance, resort fees, parking fee, mandatory hotel tip on invoice, etc. Especially since all businesses charge differently, have different names and percentages, etc. In summary, if two businesses are the same cost but one with the "additional fees" versus one with just higher prices, I would prefer to frequent the higher price businesses. I prefer that you just raise the price, which most of us are willing to pay versus feeling "nickled and dimed". Many of us do NOT like to see an extra tax/fee on our bill. Is this a price sensitivity issue or marketing issue? In your case, maybe offer a cash discount vs a credit card surcharge? Owner Suggestion - Congrats on your success since 2000.

    168 is my go-to Asian Market when I have the itch to make Filipino food and need supplies. They offer a variety of noodles, sauces, condiments, snacks, and drinks. They also carry some fresh vegetables, frozen meats, and to my surprise, they also carry pots, pans, sushi display cases, utensils, and you name it really. This store is conveniently located on South Virginia near the Peppermill. Sometimes, if you are lucky, they do have freshly made desserts on the counter. My favorite is the sesame balls, but the cashier told me they will no longer carry sesame balls. The store is well maintained and the cashier has always been friendly and helpful with questions that I have regarding their products.

    Squid jerky and candied sweet potatoes!

    Ask the Community - 168 Asian Market

    Do you carry electric woks?

    From my experience they have a decent variety of kitchen tools and appliances. I recall that they did carry some woks, but I didn't check to see if they were electric.

    Do they carry sticky rice steamer and serving baskets? Ours are in need of replacement

    Yes

I found myself out and about with just my son and and we both thought a char grilled kebab sounded like a fun dinner experiment. We popped in and found who were guessing is the owner's child at the register and placed our order for their signature kebab made from ground chicken and Afghani spices. The plate came with sumac spiked basmati rice, two pieces of the chicken kebab and a small green salad plus a green hot sauce. The kebab was tender and juicy with a great flavor profile and a nice bit of charcoal flavor. We thought the rice was actually exceptional light and fluffy with a hint of that citrus sea tang from the sumac, in a buttery finish, made this a nice light side to the kebab. The salad was fresh and crunchy with cucumber, lettuce, and bell peppers and that green hot sauce was really great and we used it as a dressing because the salad did not come with one. For $16 I just felt like the value was a bit often the plate needed at least one more piece of the kebab because when finished with a small tiny salad and the kebab, we were left with a mountain of rice and that is south wasteful. I just wish the plates here were a bit more valued oriented and I guess it will take more people eating here to kind of drive that up. Highly recommend giving it a try plus the market has some really fun fines too. Share your review and let me know what you think.

    Like fine wine, Aladdin's gets better with age. I have loved watching it evolve over the years,…read moreespecially the restaurant, which started as a small offering and has now really come into its own. We had to feed a crowd at home recently and Middle Eastern cuisine suited everyone's fancy, so naturally Aladdin's was the call. Using the online ordering system was simple, and the food was ready right on time. My only feedback is that the items don't all clearly describe what you get or how the dish comes, and so I added sauces thinking they came on the side but really came on top, and paid upcharges for things like pita, thinking they didn't come with it but then finding out they did and I just added a lot of extra. I ordered a few shawarma plates, an Aladdin combo, and hummus, falafel, and babaganoush appetizers. Everything was delicious, but some items were a bit surprising. The hummus is was a bit on the loose side, and we actually thought it was tahini from the look, aroma, and flavor. My guess is the batch was made with a bit more tahini than normal. Still good, but surprising. The Aladdin's Combo didn't look as pictured on the website, where it looks like a very sizable portion of meat, with chicken in a reddish marinade. Though the chicken looked similar to shawarma, it was clearly different in flavor, and both it and the koobideh were delicious. I ordered extra meat and had expected it to be outrageously large based on the menu photo of the standard order, but what came was more similar to the photo itself. It was still plenty to share, but I paid additional and didn't seem like I got that much more. The regular portions here are large, like easily feed two people sized. We ordered one plate per person, but in reality could've split them all. Again, I love this spot and chalk this up to learning. I think some folks could get frustrated with this experience, and I def did to an extent, but I enjoy this too much to gripe.

    I've been to Aladdin's several times in the past when needing groceries for some of my Greek…read morerecipes, but this time my wife and I decided to hang out for a while and have lunch. We were not disappointed! Here are a few things to know: - In addition to selling Mediterranean groceries, you can order at the register and there are several small tables so you can sit and eat. - I ordered the Gyro Sandwich, and my wife ordered the Chicken Shawarma Sandwich. Both were really good, and quite large...I, of course, polished my entire sandwich off and my wife took half home for later. - We've bought Greek cheeses, olives, bulghur, and spices at Aladdin's, both this time and in the past. It's the only place to find some of the things I need, and the prices are better on some things than even Amazon. - Service was really great. The person working let me wait to pay until after I had finished my grocery shopping, and she brought our food out to our table pretty quickly. Bottom line: Aladdin's is a go-to place for us...next time, we'll probably go again at a time which would let us enjoy lunch at the same time.
