This market had great prices on produce and had a great selection of items that you can't often find at your big box stores. Prices were clearly marked and there was plenty of parking available in the attached lot. Staff was fast and efficient check out.

They have some ready made package good for an easy grab and go. Prices are very reasonable for the food. The frozen section was ok and it seems that one is the freezer was having issues when I was there and alerted the staff. I came for some bitter melons but most of their bitter melons are bruised and are not in good condition. In a pinch, it's a good option when in downtown St. Paul area.

I used 52 Market & Trading's catering services without having ever tried their food or stepping…read morefoot into their store. They had reasonable options and prices compared to some other Asian food caterers and this was my main and only reason for using them. I was thoroughly pleased with their service and food quality. From placing the order to picking up the food, I had a nice experience with them. They were all very friendly and helpful. I kept my catering requests to foods that were less intricate; crispy pork, papaya salad and the fried tilapia. Everyone raved about the crispy pork. It was still, of course, crispy, by the time we ate it and yet tender at the same time. The salt level was perfect. Unfortunately, I was too full to try the papaya salad and the tilapia but I did get a taste of the papaya salad sauce because i had spilled some all over my car and got some on my fingers, on the way home. Not ashamed to say I licked off the juice because I had nothing else to wipe my hands on. What little taste I did get, tasted nice to me. Lots of people asked about where I ordered the food and costs; I was more than happy to let them know in hopes that they will also support 52 Market & Trading. Looking forward to using them again in the future.

I love getting food from this small mom and pop grocery store and deli! The owners are so nice,…read morefriendly, and flexible! I've ordered catering from this place multiple times for work and family celebrations and they usually are able to accommodate even when it was a last minute order (and the prices are VERY affordable- cheaper than other Asian places). I like the chicken egg rolls and Lao Style papaya salad the most!

This is one of my fav places to visit in the twin cities. It's very similar to Hmong Village, but it's a different location, has less restaurants and has much more outdoor space and varieties of plants for sale.

We came here during lunch on a weekday & we were the only ones there so it worked well for a lunch mtg & conversation. We were given hot tea right away which felt welcoming on a cold fall day. I ordered the photo-pleasing thali which comes with an assortment of items but the momos were the star of the show. The service was attentive throughout our meal. The food is vegan friendly too. I wanted to try more items so ended up getting the goat curry & noodles to-go. Noodles were slightly too salty but still ate it all. Goat curry was good. My coworker is from northern India & said this good tastes authentic & reminds her of home. High praise! As someone who aspires to cook Nepali & Tibetan dishes but hasn't invested the time yet to learn, I'm so glad this place exists! This place may seem slightly on the more expensive side, but everything is shareable & multiple meals so worth it! Check out this small local restaurant & make sure to stop by the grocery next store too.

I'm willing to assume someone didn't show up to work and they got unexpectedly overwhelmed. I will totally go back, maybe lower my standard for service, because the food was worth it. Coxinha (chicken croquette) - Amazing! Cheese Bread - Meh, but have always wanted to try. Glad I did! Chicken with cheese empanada - Not my favorite of the bunch, but fresh! Mortadella - My favorite, especially with the outstandingly tasty green sauce. Pernil (pork sandwich) - Came with a lovely green butter spread. Also very good! With tip, this came to just over $50, but now I know what I prefer and how to order in the future. Totally worth it!
