Please avoid this place…read more They sell bunch of expired and not good stuff. I was looking for lavash/ wrap an I purchased two, one made in Turkey and one from Latvia. I opened it 3 days ago and look at mold all over the bread. Also it was all breaking apart which was a reason I could not make some veggie wraps. I bought it on 2/14 afternoon. There was a date on one exp in April and the other one did not have any date on a package. $10 for both went to trash. Sadly it's not the first time I get rotten or spoiled product. I would not recommend! Service is hit and miss . They treat Muslims better for sure. Not going to support such a business with poor customer service and poor quality.

They have a really wide selection, especially when it comes to spices, teas, and herbs, and the…read moreprices on those are actually great, which was a nice surprise. A lot of the canned stuff, like different types of beans, isn't really any cheaper than what you'd find at places like H-E-B. Fruits and veggies looked pretty standard, but the prices were oddly higher than in regular grocery stores. They do carry some interesting sweets, and I always enjoy checking those out. Coffee, though, was more expensive compared to other international stores I've been to. What really stood out in a bad way was the attitude of the staff. No one was rude exactly, but they act like they don't really want to be there, and definitely not like they want you to be there either. Product-wise, no complaints. But the vibe from the people working there? Pretty unfriendly.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: When I say Vietnamese-style, it's only because most of the internal signage is in vietnamese. It has every asian countries ingredients from China/Korea/Vietnam to The Philippines and indonesia. You can find some really good pricing here on those staples. Fresh produce aisle is a bit limiting. Pretty big seafood area and meat. Walking to your far left side are all the kitchen toolware if you want to level up your kitchen game. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Always enjoy my time here at MT supermarket. Lots of ingredients you won't find at a 99 Ranch or H Mart.

My wife and I have just discovered BEM - Borderless European Market - in North Austin. If you're a…read morefoodie, it's a gem! Don't miss it. It's the only place in Austin for Eastern European groceries. Coming out of a nearby restaurant, we saw the BEM sign and decided to check it out. We found a wide range of fascinating products, coming from countries such as Ukraine, Poland, and Romania. It's like a small convenience store, but much more interesting. After handling many products out of curiosity, we took a grocery cart and selected several items. I'm posting three photos, which don't do justice to the many types of products they have such as a huge variety of sausages, canned goods, candies, soft drinks, beer, wine, and breads. You'll notice that I like dark beer and chocolate, sometimes at the same time! It would be well worth your going to the store at 2121 W. Parmer Lane. It's pure fun!

I learned about I-35 traffic while visiting Austin. It's just as bad as driving on I-5 in Seattle…read moreand LA. It was fine getting to 99 Ranch from downtown Austin but getting back to the hotel during rush hour was brutal. At least gas is more affordable in Austin though. 99 Ranch locations are indicators of Asian communities in the US. I wanted to check out the 99 Ranch in Austin before flying back home. The store is in a strip mall and within walking distance of other Asian businesses, businesses similar to the ones you'd find in Downtown Seattle and Tukwila/Southcenter. This 99 Ranch location is newer and cleaner than the one in Kent, WA. Staff were friendlier most likely because it was midday and during the week. I'm sure if it was after work or the weekend the store would have been crowded just like the HMart off Lakeline Blvd. Merch was reasonably priced. Sales tax in TX is less than WA. They also had a separate store around the corner for alcohol. With the high cost of living on the West Coast I'm sure people will continue to move to Texas. They'll find communities or create communities similar to what they've experienced prior to moving to the Lone Star State.

Went by on a Sunday evening for groceries, but ended up grabbing dinner there too. The line can…read moresurprisingly get pretty long, so be prepared, but they have plenty of seating, so you can eat there first and then go shopping afterward. Super convenient setup with a bunch of options. Think of it as a slightly more authentic, low key Panda Express with much larger portions. Like most Asian fast casual spots in this style, they really pile on the food. Three Item Combo ($11.99, 10/10) - comes with a side of fried rice or noodles, or you can split it half and half. Fried rice is definitely cooked better than Panda's. Not too salty, and pairs really well with the entrees. - Orange Chicken had its own spin, a little different from Panda Express but similar overall, crunchy (though not as crunchy as Panda) and very flavorful - Eggplant was amazing, deep fried and then sauteed in a savory marinade, tender, hot, and packed with flavor - 3rd entree sauteed chicken and pepper dish, wasn't as crispy but had a nice Sichuan-ish flavor that paired well with the noodles and rice - the 2 of us were quite hungry going in, but we couldn't even finish 1 order. Portions here are genuinely huge and easily stretch into leftovers for one person Overall, if you're going to 99 Ranch for authentic Asian groceries, definitely check out their food court too. Great prices, fantastic portions, great flavor, and super convenient before or after you shop. Keep it up, 99 Ranch.

Produce and meat sections are clean well stocked, and spices are worth a stop alone due to variety available. Several items not seen in other stores, and an extensive array of pickled items, soft drinks, teas, coffees, and snacks. Service is always friendly. Plenty of parking out front, wide aisles inside if mobility is an issue. Well worth stopping in!

Mostly packaged foods, a little produce a little meat. Premade foods in the freezer, and box and canned foods on the shelves. Some candy, cookies, crackers and juices. I did get a box of Turkish delights. I was feeling snacky. They have a nice coconut flavor, they're soft and chewy, almost like a gummy. I opened them in the car and had 2 right away. They do have a private parking lot, and it's very large.

This place is filthy, stocked with well past "best by" date groceries at gouge-level prices,…read moreunapologetically charges more than in-store posted prices for sandwiches and is staffed by a customer-hostile crew. A sandwich made with a stale, dry roll cost two dollars more at the cash register than a price for that same sandwich on a sign just behind that cash register. This will earn any establishment a fine courtesy of the City of Austin. Complaining about the stale roll is met not by an apology, but rather with the ridiculous claim that the roll "was baked this morning." The store is a mess, and virtually every grocery item costs twice what it would anywhere else. Phoenicia remains in business only because it is one of the few "Mediterranean" food outlets in Austin, and also because it may have once been good. But now it is a disgraceful must to avoid.

They have great variety of fresh to-go entrees and snacks and a wide selection of refrigerated beverages and a frozen food section. I also appreciated the detail they put into decorations and the plushie selection. I had a strawberry drink, wagyu onigiri, and red bean cake! Will definitely be coming back.
