Mang's Asian Supermarket provides Southeast Asian items that I'm used to. It's like a local and classic mom and pop's Asian grocery store that I'm used to back home. The store is super clean and provides you with your basic Asian groceries such as noodles, drinks, condiments, and seafood. I spoke to the owner (great and friendly guy) and he pretty much started out fresh a year ago, right before the pandemic. He's still trying to fill up in the store with more items. Please continue to support this young entrepreneur.

We use them to stock up especially on items "normal" American grocers or the co-op on near Pearsontown don'y carry. Their bok choy and summer melons in particular are wonderful. Get the melons. I mean that. They're perfect for summer. They all have fantastic selection of eel, pork belly, and other meat cuts that you don't see in the nearby Target (which is a shame that the most immediate grocer to me) and a much better price performer than the Wegman's without the pretense. If you're just there for Asian candy and snacks, "all" the big ones aren't there, but some are. It serves that purpose okay, but you're missing out if you limit yourself that way. It's located on the edge of the shopping center where Atomic Empire and that kids party place share. The customer service is brief but accurate and helpful. The bagging goes so quickly I almost feel useless standing there ready to pay. They have always been friendly and kind. I am also chronically ill and continue to mask due to early stage COPD and breast cancer. The other employees also mask. I actually feel safe there. I feel like they care. It feels kind of packed always and like they have a little more stock than room, but this is the local Durham Asian grocer, and they have been in our community a long time. They have earned the loyalty they have.

| Overview +…read moreConvenient grocery for Asian products + Seafood section is reliable and prices are generally cheaper than H-Mart + Larger area than Grand Asia Market in Raleigh + Affordable Chinese food & noodle dishes from its food concession + Bakery inside is nice - Not the best prices for Kimchi - Lacking Korean favorites and fresh foods that H-Mart offers - Unfriendly customer service - Dining area is often not clean - Some Chinese frozen & canned products are questionable. - Food concession lacks the variety we enjoy in H-Mart and Grand Asia | Recommended Filipino snacks: Clover chips (Cheese flavor) and Nagaraya (Garlic flavor) cracker nuts. Sometimes, these are not available, however. | Full Review My girl & I have been here multiple times to buy ingredients for Asian dishes. We often get fresh salmon and shrimps from the seafood section, and we appreciate how seafood here are generallt cheaper compared to H-Mart in Cary. However, H-Mart is still more reliable overall when it comes to other products like kimchi, Korean side dishes, marinated meats, and various other Asian products. Unlike H-Mart's Korean focus, Li Ming's is primarily Chinese, so it's more line Grand Asia Market in Raleigh. One good thing we like in Li Ming's over Grand Asia is that it's less crowded and more spacious areas. Although it can get crowded here at times, it doesn't feel as congested as Grand Asia's constant overflow of customers coming and going. However, when it comes to the different goods you can get from Grand Asia's restaurant/cafe/bakery, Li Ming's Global Mart falls short. All you can get in Li Ming's are mostly mediocre-tasting Chinese food that goes well with rice and some noodle bowls that may be too salty to some people. The bakery inside Li Ming's is nice; we used to buy egg tarts and curry bread here. It's no Tours les Jours but it's not bad. They also offer boba milk tea but we wouldn't recommend it. As for the canned/preserved/frozen foods in the grocery section, generally, we prefer Korean brands over Chinese ones, so overall, we still prefer going to H-Mart for buying Asian products. Just like in H-Mart, we've seen unfriendly customer service in Li Ming's but no major issues. The most problematic one was when we tried to dine-in and get the 3 choices of food with white rice, and the lady serving had an attitude, and did'nt put enough fish on our plate. | Overall Score: 3.3/5

A cute little family-run middle eastern grocery store with a shawarma counter/restaurant tucked…read moreinside. I found them via TooGoodToGo and enjoyed browsing the aisles while waiting on my food. Their chicken schwarma bowl makes for the perfect, well-balanced lunch. Fluffy seasoned rice, flavorful chicken, fresh lettuce and tomatoes, and soft pickles for acidity. My only wish would be for even more garlic sauce (you can buy extra). I felt happily satisfied with my meal. I also could not resist buying the chocolate baklava at the counter, and oh man, it is good! Sweet, flaky, sticky, and chocolatey. They sell it by weight, and my 4 pieces came out to just over $7. The service here was great - eager to help without being obsequious. When I asked the lady running the register how much the pistachio cream cost ($10 a jar), she also showed me their assortment of Dubai chocolate for sale. Definitely worth a stop for an affordable lunch or your middle eastern grocery needs.

Fresh International Market's hot bar has solid value, but the overall experience was just okay…read more The biggest positive is the portion size. For $10.99 (three-item plate), you get a very generous amount of food, which is hard to beat. There are also a decent number of meat options to choose from. That said, the selection felt limited for anyone going meat-free, and more importantly, the food itself lacked flavor. The mapo tofu was disappointing, and the bok choy was pretty bland. Others in our group tried the orange chicken, which was described as okay, but nothing anyone would go out of their way for. Overall, it's filling and affordable, but not particularly memorable.

"Small neighborhood Mexican grocery store"…read more This unassuming little place has a great assortment of Mexican goodies: fresh meats, vegetables, and various packaged goods. We like it for various Mexican goodies like churros, fresh tortillas (they have a big machine that makes them on site), plantains (at any stage of ripeness- far more than regular grocery stores), peppers, spices, popsicles, tamarind candies, various canned items, etc. LOTS of phone cards, too. Personally, I have never gotten the meats, and that section of the store sometimes smells a little funny, but the rest is great. They have a big Exxon sign and some gas pumps outside, but it's all nonfunctional- there's an "operational" Exxon station two doors down across the street. Staff are quite friendly, too. A-OK overall.
