The store has hot breakfast burritos and they have some that are vegan too. I enjoyed it they had Bernie Sanders at the entrance of the store as a cardboard cutout. It's a very small store for what it is but it does have a lot of essential items at very fair prices. Restrooms here are very clean too. They had a great grab-and-go selection as well. Plenty of healthy snacks and discounted items too. If you're an owner you get even better discount items. Parking can be a bit of a pain depending on when you show up. I will happily come back to the store again

You just answer a few questions about your preferences and they make something based on what is on hand. I ended up with a spicy onion and ham sandwich. Very tasty! They also had a bunch of cheese samples. I liked what I tried so much that I simply had to grab a few things. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Several regulars came in while I ate and I can see why. I only wish I lived closer!

I crave the kimchee, fish sauce, bonito flakes, miso paste, every sort of seaweed, and critter parts you just can't find anywhere! Ever wanted to try chicken feet and cocks combs? Breadfruit? Cockles?Limpets? Tried 'em all. Only the breadfruit was "meh", but even Cap'n Bligh had trouble getting the Polynesians excited about 'em. Won't always carry the same exotics, especially in the freezer section, but you can RELY on them to carry the staples, and at prices the big stores can't beat. Enormous bottles of Thai fish sauce that beat those piddly supermarket squirts! Huge bags of addictive shrimp chips! YUM!!!! Don't be put off by labels in Korean, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, etc. The owners know their products and can tell you how to use them. They also carry items for Arab and African customers. They may say Saigon Market, but they're very international, and the friendliest people on earth! They own their entire parking lot. So take your time! Browse to your heart's content! Please respect that they do not wish to provide parking for all their neighbors. Do bring your children. Help them learn about the world through this wonderful store. It has interesting smells. Please teach them to be polite about those odors. Different is not bad; it's interesting! Look online for easy recipes before visiting the store. Engage the owners' help in finding and using ingredients. It will be a treat the kids will never forget! Yeah, I love this place!
