Purchased July 2025…read more Confession: I would follow Jim and his Northstar Halibut truck pretty much anywhere. (And yes, that includes this morning when I drove all the way across town like a woman on a seafood mission.) This is the kind of business I love to support...small, family-owned, and absolutely passionate about what they do. Jim and his crew catch the fish themselves in Alaska, get it packaged and flown to Arizona, and then somehow manage to bring coastal-level freshness right into the middle of the desert. You'll usually spot him at Uptown Farmer's Market (bring a cooler...you'll want to stock up), but he also shows up roadside now and then like a seafood fairy godfather. And he's delivered larger orders right to my door in the past. Who does that anymore?! Jim does. Favorites? Halibut, cod, red snapper, and the smoked salmon which is basically a religious experience. Oh...and halibut cheeks. Trust me. A total delicacy. Never to be forgotten! The fish is always firm, clean, fresh, and so flavorful it barely needs seasoning. Jim's even been known to share a killer recipe if you're not sure what to make. Tonight? Halibut's on the menu and I might be eating early...because I've been craving it for weeks.

We got halibut from the farmers market yesterday. We used a recipe they offered called heavenly…read morehalibut. OMG by far the best chunk of halibut we have ever had.

I've been here a few times so figured I should write a review. There are no Asian markets in my…read morearea so when I'm near one, I like to stop in and see what they have. This one is fairly large but I've only stuck to browsing a few aisles of interest, so not sure what all they have. I did notice they have products from a variety of countries including those in South Asia like India and Pakistan. I come for the rice crackers and mochi, and the rice crackers (Bin Bin brand) are a good price and satisfy my cravings. I like to share them with friends (family don't care for them - too sweet). The mochi flavors have been hit or miss: I grabbed the maple pancake one on my last visit and it tasted as expected, good stuff. Some of the other flavors have been lackluster, depending on the brand. I'm sure they have lots of other items to purchase but I stick to the snacks for now. I always park in the spots to the right of the market and haven't had issues. There's also a great boba spot within walking distance, so that's another place I like to frequent. Def recommend checking out Lee Lee's!

I want to try their Iberian Pork on my next visit.

After my first visit to this Taiwanese grocery store a couple years ago I had never been back as I…read morewas disappointed. That changed radically recently as I decided to give it another chance as I was in the area and ended up scoring some unexpected and amazing deals. I don't go to HMart in Mesa much anymore as this store has just about everything I need and is so much closer. If you want live seafood, you'll find plenty here. I really like the abundance of fresh vegetables and they're really cheap. I always pick up a kombucha squash to roast for my fur baby too. Tofu prices are the cheapest I've seen so I stock up as I love making mapo tofu and spicy tofu soup. They also have a food court and a bakery inside the store so it's very convenient to grab to go or even eat there as they have a small seating area. I do wish they had more cashiers as the lines are always so long no matter what time or day it is.

5.10.26 - I've been shopping here every now and then since they opened years ago. They have some…read moreitems here that you won't find at other grocery stores like the many different varieties of hot pot fish/ meat balls. There are certain ice cream bars that I have only been able to find here too like the matcha ice cream bars that use good quality matcha. Some items here can be a bit more expensive so I usually go to my other usual spot instead for majority of things on my list. Was just here on Mother's day and picked up this new ube coconut spread which was $10 for 5.8oz. I would say that is expensive. They did let everyone take a carnation flower home on this day. That was nice. This store is always busy on the weekend. The parking is so bad. It can be difficult to get a parking spot on the busy weekends and people take forever to get in their car and leave the parking spot. Lately, I've been noticing how slow the cashiers are and the lines to pay can get pretty long. They really take their time picking items up, scanning and putting items into the bag. There is no sense of urgency at all. It would help to get some faster cashiers or retrain to improve speed, or even add a self check out area.

Came here specifically for the Lobstah Roll (not misspelled) for Wednesday's special and was…read moredelightfully satisfied. Theirs is the hot buttered with chives sprinkled on top and a bag of chips. There were Huge pieces of lobster meat and a lot of it. So much so that pieces fell out while trying to wrap my lips around it. I also bought a pound of Faroe Island Salmon that I'm excited to grill. It was very cool of the Tap Room (next door) to allow me to eat my lunch on their picnic tables outside without ordering a drink. I came after lunch so it wasn't busy. I won't sugar coat it, Nelson's is pricey. The roll was $34. However they have fish that you can't find elsewhere. The ahi tuna was beautiful but I already set my mind to the salmon. I was surprised they even had guanciale (pork jowel) which is sought after in Italian pasta dishes. It's a bit of a drive for me but next time I want a toasted buttery lobster roll I will come to Nelson's!

Everything tastes like it came straight off the boat that morning. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly proud of what they're serving. The daily specials are always worth checking out too... they're creative, perfectly cooked, and absolutely worth every dollar. If you're visiting for the first time, start with the oysters and the lobster roll, and grab a beer next door at wandering tortoise -- both are incredible. Whether you're dining in or picking something up from the market, this spot nails it every time.

They've got everything from barbecuing essentials and specialty seasonings to bold hot sauces and even a cold beer to enjoy while you shop. And then you make your way to that beautiful deli counter. That's when you truly appreciate the value of a real butcher. The quality, expertise, and personal service, it's a completely different experience compared to your typical grocery store. They also have 'cuts' of bone for your furry friends. We grabbed a bone for our dog and can't wait for him to enjoy it! Von Hanson's isn't just a deli... it's a place for anyone (new to grilling or professionals) who wants to enjoy quality meat and find whatever they need to cook it!

I highly recommend if you want to incorporate these types of products to your fur pet's diet.

I called earlier in the day to place a pickup order, but when I asked where I could find the menu, I was told it wasn't available and that I'd need to come in to see it. I arrived around 8 p.m. on Friday, thinking the dinner rush would be over, but the place was loud, and the waitstaff was overwhelmed. There was no place to sit and wait for a take out order, so I went back to my car with the menu and tried calling to place my order. After waiting on hold for 10 minutes, I called back, but the line just gave a busy signal several times. I ended up going back inside to place the order in person and awkwardly waited by the door for my food and while this was happening, cops arrived because someone got kicked out. Definitely an awkward situation for our first experience. When my order was ready, I had to ask for utensils, which weren't included. The atmosphere definitely feels authentically Mexican, though. We ordered a shrimp burrito, which was a bit plain and dry--just rice, fajita veggies, and shrimp. The fish and chips were better, with a good sized portion of fries.

Could Pier 88 be my new favorite local spot for seafood boil???…read more Yes... yes it is! We ordered three pounds of head-on shrimp. Spice level was medium and went with the 88 Special seasoning (a combination of cajun, garlic butter, and lemon pepper) - AMAZING flavor!! Perhaps my favorite aspect was that their seasonings were not overly salty - I feel that most other seafood boil restaurants just include way too much salt in their seasonings... but at Pier 88, you can really indulge without feeling like you're going to end up with high blood pressure! Extras included corn, sausage, and potatoes... and those were all delicious as well! I couldn't have been happier with this meal... so I will definitely return again soon! Being celiac, I did not have to worry about gluten being in anything we ordered! Overall rating: *****FIVE STARS***** Gluten-free rating: *****FIVE STARS*****

This place looked like it did a good seafood boil and was located near where our hotel was. Upon entering we were greeted and sat right away. He ordered a shrimp basket while I ordered my usual snow crab. Heads up, all the supplies will be brought in the bottom of the discard bucket like gloves, lemons, and crab crackers. I wasn't aware of this, and placed all the discarded items on top of it while eating bareheaded as I didn't see supplies, and no one was around to ask. Usually places will bring on the side, and I wish I was told that in advance when it was brought to the table. It made for quite the mess, but if we return I'll know for next time. Once our server returned to check in after 10+ minutes that's when we were advised, and I adjusted though I had put my boil bag in there so most had been soiled. As for the food, he liked his shrimp while I thought the crab was okay in flavor/spice. It didn't really standout out like other places I've been to recently, but overall I would return if I was in the area.
