Bought a quarter pound of ginseng here and the woman who helped me was helpful. I didn't know what…read morekind of ginseng to get but she was patient with going through the different kinds that they had in store. She picked out a few of the longer ginsengs for me and offered to cut them up. She even sealed it in a bag which is perfect because it was meant to be a gift. I also bought a box of Ginseng Korean Tea. They have quite a lot of herbs and medicines here that you can buy per pound. I would definitely make the trek up here again.

After the purchase, my dad didn't know how to prepare the medication and asked for help but he was ignored and brushed away. My sister saw this and got really upset and got bitchy (lack of a better word), with them and thats what got their attention but they were still rude. My sister asked how long do you boil the herbs for and they said, "Well obviously not for over a hour". Well duh but how LONG? that answer doesn't help at all. Why bother saying that. I wouldn't recommend coming here as this isn't the only herbal medicine shop in chinatown. Both my dad and sister speak Chinese, so language was not an issue.

I've never seen such plump fresh ginger at reasonable prices! On average, the fresh ginger is about $0.88-0.89/lb....amazingly good prices! I use it for tea, water infusions, soup, and cooking! Ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory and has antiseptic properties as well...good for boosting the immune system! The staff is great and very helpful.

I've been coming here with my mom since I was a little girl. That's 25+ years…read more It's always busy, crowded, it's like war in here. You're screaming across the store to get help. Shouting for price of an item. See Ngais (including me) are handing packages to each other when we need something. Can't find it and they can't help you, it's okay, they'll help you get it when you FINALLY get to the front to pay. And expect to wait a long time, it's worst than waiting in line at target or Ross during Xmas. But their dry goods and ginseng are ALWAYS FRESH! Their ginseng are their biggest seller. I vouche for them. Make sure to ask how much the ginsengs are as they are different. If you want them boxed, it'll cost extra and take longer. Ask them for the box and do it at home yourself.
