Aroon Thai Market is the place to find favorite Thai delicacies and fresh produce used in authentic…read moreThai dishes in stock. Every Friday, the market hosts an exceptional outdoor produce market that is a feast for the senses. It might might bring memories of Thailand rushing back, it did for me and my Thai mother-in-law, who excitedly told me the name of her favorite veggies, and what dishes to use them in. There are veggies used in traditional U.S. dishes available as well, but we rarely see freshness like this at other markets. On Fridays there is so much business that Aroon Thai has set up an outdoor cashier, so service is as speedy as possible. Hot Tip: If you're planning on checking out the Friday Outdoor Produce Market, go early to ensure you get the best selection of fresh-made Thai goodies, rolls, and sandwiches.

Only con is prices aren't labeled for 90% of items but prices remain reasonable. Went in on a Friday after work, and they had Vietnamese prepared foods: -Banh cuon $5.99 - steamed rice rolls with pork and black fungus were fresh and soft. Thoughtfully packaged with veggies, pickles, jalapeños, and fried shallots all separated out. -Sweet sticky rice $4.99 - decent (a little dry) -Banh mi $7.99 - Vietnamese sandwiches supplied by Kelly's Sandwiches and Drinks The most surprising was their fresh produce piled high in baskets: -Okra -Chinese eggplant -Mint and Vietnamese mint -Perilla leaf -Mung bean sprouts -Bitter melon -Taro -Lotus root -Yucca -Ong choy/water spinach -Daikon Dry products range from: -Starches: instant ramens, vermicelli, rice, sticky rice, mung beans -Sauces: Thai curry, Indian curry, mapo tofu, chutney -Snacks: jellies, dried squid, broad bean, hello panda, pocky -Cans: lychee, coconut milk, coconut jelly, jackfruit, halo halo, red bean A coworker recommended Aroon Thai after hearing I've desperately hunted for Asian groceries at Asiana, Phnom Penh, and Kabayan. Sadly, none of the local markets offer everything in one place. Aroon Thai fills their aisles to the brim with fresh, frozen, and dried foods. From instant chai to vermicelli, it's a great one stop shop for your fridge and pantry. Happy cooking!

Last year we bought a quarter cow from Buds Meats with the cow from Stemple Creek. We had a great…read moreexperience with them and tried to do it again this year but they weren't taking orders, which led us to Willowside. We opted this year to do a half cow, which now seems to me probably overly optimistic, but that's what we did. We wanted grass fed/grass finished which is usually more expensive and harder to get, but Willowside told us no problem and we put down the $100 deposit. It seemed like almost overnight they were able to get all the stars aligned to get the cow ready and they were already calling me for preferences on cuts. I love the attention to detail we were given on education of different things, because for me having been a vegetarian for many years, this is a lot of info building still. We found out our cow topped the scales at over 800 lbs so our half share was about 412 or so and cost about $2300. We opted for vacuumed packed rather than butcher paper, and gave them our preferences on size of cuts. When we arrived to pick everything up we did have some challenges with making sure we had everything - I was told it would be 8 boxes but it only ended up being 6, and we couldn't find the bone marrow which was one of the big selling points for the half cow. Undaunted we took our prizes home and I set out packing two complete freezers full of meats and bones. I have yet to try the beef but it looks beautiful. Overall it was a good price, quick turn around, and I especially liked that the grass fed cows come from Full Circle Ranches which is in Petaluma and is run by a friend of the owner of Willowside so that's good local business. Definitely looking forward to burgers and roasts in the very near future!

I recently took a 3 hour cooking class with a private Indian chef. She directed me to this place for my future culinary ingredient adventures. The selection in the 100 square feet of package goods, frozen goods, bottled goods is not utterly comprehensive, but adequate to prepare a modest Indian meal. The impressive selection of many different rices in 20 - 40 pound bags is eye opening. I walked out with 10 items. Mostly grains, lentils, chickpeas, etc.. A bag of crunchy snacks, some frozen breads and samosas. All the items are imported, surprisingly a couple of items are made in Canada. Prices are moderate. Be aware that no fresh produce, meats nor fishes are available. The folks are friendly. Oh, the fried chicken looked and smelled delectable. When I come back without my health conscious wife I'll eat some.

I was able to purchase Indian spices and seasonings at low prices, and they had almost everything I needed. The young man working in the store helped me find Hing, a seasoning that I couldn't find elsewhere. He was friendly and encouraging about my interest in Indian spices and food. I'll be back but not for a while, as our kitchen is now well stocked.

There was so much cheese and cream throughout, it was sinfully rich. The big slab of ham in the middle was great quality and really spoke to his charcuterie skills. Plus the bread was just right, not too crunchy and not too soft. Chocolate Mousse: Rich and indulgent and airy, all at the same time. Each spoonful was so much pleasure the tongue.

I will admit that there was a lot of people in the store, which is understandable due to it being a weekend and the holiday season. There is plenty of parking, which is nice as well.

I love that the store is really well organized and clean, which makes it easy to find what you are looking for. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I feel that there were plenty of staff there so if you have a question, one of them can easily help you. I used the self check out and it was a smooth process and the line moved fast.

Our past visit we had help from a great employee who talked us through price matching.
