If I need any Asian grocery items, I usually just have my mom get them for me from a list that I would send her. I am very sensitive to smell and vomit very easily so I try to go in and out of Asian grocery stores as quickly as possible and especially on an empty stomach just in case I do vomit. The raw meat section smell is terrifying at every Asian market I wish it was sectioned far away from the entrance of deli foods. But it's not & they cut the raw meats in the open air (not enclosed or closed door separate room) & the smell lingers into the entire store at every Asian market & just makes me very ill. Luckily, the deli register line is only for the deli so I can just order deli foods and check out in the same line and then I'm out the door.

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.

Not exactly crack sauce but it's on the same spectrum. Zero regrets. Would take a trip here again(it's only 2 bus ride away from home) 10/10 recommend for anyone that wants that true southeast Asian taste. They also got many other drink and food options for any palate level.

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.

There was no one in the restaurant when we arrive at 1:30, and the server was friendly. We both ordered the goat curry with basmati rice. The curry sauce was plentiful and delicious, but the goat was tough and had many bones, ligaments, and tendons to chew around and door out. While some bones are coming in this dish, I've had goat curry at other restaurants and the meat was not tough.

They also have a great deal on short rib time to time as low as $7.99/lb. BUT what you really have to go for is the frozen pizzas! beware the larger pizzas - You might not even have a pan to put it on much less fit in your oven. Go for the smaller personal pizzas. The cheese pull is totally there and all of their meats are super flavorful and not overwhelmingly greasy. I also love their frozen ravioli and have yet to try their other frozen meals, but their red sauce is not too sweet. Does that taste processed and that's what makes these frozen meals so perfect. Easy parking, it's a little bit diver, but have a look around - It's much more than a liquor store!
