I hope more stores like Whole Foods and Sprouts will maybe step up and start carrying them. Or HEB will realize how small and local this business is and start carrying their products again. I may have to make a road trip to Houston just to stock up!

Located on the far side of Hong Kong 4, Vinh Huong is a bit hidden and isolated from the rest of…read morethe shops there. They specialize in Vietnamese beef meatballs, pork paste, and fish cakes. The store is small and may not look like much, but they definitely have the best Vietnamese beef meatballs in town. The prices are reasonable, and there is also an additional discount for paying with cash. I've tried many different Vietnamese beef meatballs from different sources, but nowhere else can beat Vinh Huong's quality. Every aspect (the flavors, textures, and consistency) of their meatballs is perfect. They are my go-to meatballs when my family makes pho at home. Even their fish cakes are just as nice.

It's a nice little local alternative to the grocery stores. It's not too cheap but it's not bad.

The name of this store Yin Wall has a pronunciation resemblance to their merchandise 燕窩, which…read morepronounces as Yànwō in Mandarin. The store clerks are knowledgeable with their merchandise and they are good salespeople who speak fluent Mandarin and Cantonese (I never need to speak English to them. I think they have no problem communicate with you.) To answer your next question, Yànwō or 燕窩 is Swallow Birds' Nest. Don't search it online until you finished reading this review. These edible birds' nests are the most expensive delicacy in China. I learned about Yin Wall City from the store clerks. This is their branch and the main store is across the parking lot. It is also the largest importer and distributor for Swallow Birds' Nest in Texas. I feel very lucky to get to try this delicacy at a reasonable price. Although, I'm still rookie with this nutritional supplement. I can only afford to buy the ready-to-consume version. I drink them to increase my stamina when I suffered insomnia and needed extra brain fuel at work. In the front of store, you can find lots of preserved fruits in the jars. If you were from Hawaii, these are crack seed and Li Hing Mui. In the middle of store, you'll find a variety of dried grocery items including ginseng, rare herbal medicine, ready-to-consume Chinese medicine; as well as packaged goods like moon cakes and other nutritional herbal supplements. Behind the counter, the most expensive birds' nests are on display. Okay, now you can do your Google search to see why they cost over $4000 for a pound. The following is a review for the Chinese audience. This is neither a translation nor substitution to my review above. 我每年中秋節都來買月餅。但我從來沒想到我有這機會品嚐燕窩。因為價錢非常高，我只能買現成的來喝。燕窩城的店員們都非常了解他們​​的產品。我也時常來賣進口成藥。品質不錯。我覺得服務不差，很多產品是買一送二或是買一送一。您假如沒來過休斯頓的燕窩城，我非常建議您來試一試。

Not knowing what Tiến Hưng Market 同興市場 really was, until I read review by Que N. It's not a…read morerun-down grocery store but it's never been updated. It reminded me Dynasty Supermarket before it closed. They both have resemblance from late 90's look and feel, just like the rest of this strip mall. I couldn't shop here because about 90% of packaging were in Vietnamese. It would take me days to translate with Google Translator app on things I might want. Couple of aisles were stacked with boxes. I considered myself skinny. But I couldn't even squeeze through them without knocking things off the shelves. That's a safety hazard. One corner of store has stacks of rice from Thailand, namely Jasmine rice. Lots of them in 25 lb sacks piled in the middle and smaller packages on the shelves. They seem to be fresher than Viet Hoa Supermarket. Another bad thing about doing here is the prices are marked. It could create a communication problem with cashier. I would come back if I can find someone speak same language to help me to translate.

Tien Hung is a small Asian grocery located in rather run-down shopping center on Beechnut and…read moreWilcrest. This store took over part of the old Viet Hoa, which was in the innermost corner of the shopping center. When my family moved to Houston in the early 90's, I remember frequenting the old Viet Hoa on the weekends. With time, things evolved and Viet Hoa became one of the Asian grocery store powerhouses in its current location on Beechnut and Beltway 8. With Chinatown's busy weekend traffic, it's convenient to have a few smaller Asian stores like Tien Hung as alternatives for ingredients or supplies. Obviously don't let the run-down store or presence of peddlers turn you away, but always be cautious of your surroundings. Do as I do, quickly get in, grab what you need, and go! The storefront is not the cleanest nor most well-maintained, but they do offer a limited selection of seafood, meats, and produce. Occasionally, my mom comes here for Asian herbs and pho bones and meats to save time. Should you need ground pork from certain cuts or sliced meat, you can request those services from the butcher. Sometimes, the shrimp in the seafood section is even cheaper than Viet Hoa or Hong Kong. My favorite items to get are the homemade pork and shrimp wontons, which are made in-house daily. The wontons are located in the refrigerated section in the back of the store. For $6.50, you get a reusable 14 oz package of 32 wontons. Since I buy them in bulk and have to transport them 5-6 hours in the car, I freeze them as soon as I get home. Before eating the wontons, I let them defrost in the refrigerator for use the next day. These wontons are the perfect addition to make your own wonton soup with egg noodles, veggies, chicken broth, and whatever other ingredients you prefer. Everyone that has tasted these wontons loves them, especially during those cold winter nights. Another favorite of mine is the 25lb bag of Con Nai Bao Bo(deer) jasmine rice. I have purchased about 3 bags already because of how fragrant it is when cooking. Compared to other brands, this jasmine rice is more soft and moist, with a subtle sweetness. It's more expensive than other brands at $27.50, but definitely give this brand of jasmine rice a try if you're wanting a better flavor/texture profile. At the front checkout counter, there are a small selection of homemade Vietnamese goodies like: sesame balls, banh bong lan (sponge cake), and shredded pork & pork skin (bi). I haven't tried any of the baked sweets here since Parisian Bakery is right next door, but I have tried the tasty shredded pork & pork skin (bi), which is sold by the pound. You can use the "bi" as a spring roll ingredient, on toasted French bread, or to be eaten with rice or broken rice dishes. Don't expect friendly service and the cashier lady often tries to ask you to buy more homemade goodies. Like I said earlier, grab only what you need and be on your way. Consider Tien Hung as your local Asian convenience store. I frequently stop by when my mom needs a few ingredients for dinner to avoid the hassles of parking and traffic at Viet Hoa or Hong Kong. And you can always grab fresh French bread, pate chaud and sweet goodies next door at Parisian Bakery too. Less hassles and getting sweet treats afterwards = winning!
