    the aisles of a grocery store
    Han L.

    This is my favorite Chinese grocery store in St. Louis. It's smaller than the other Asian grocers in the area, but the store is neat with a good selection of products. The aisles are also well organized. The prices are much better than their competitors. Overall, I love the personal feel of this family-run business.

    Not vast but decent selections. A depot selling dried goods including mushroom, sea cucumber, abalone, tea, Chinese herbs and medicine. They also have an assortment of porcelain dinnerware, designed with exotic motifs in cobalt pigment. Most of the merchandise could be found at another Chinese grocery store diagonally across the Olive Blvd, but the diced stewing lamb, giant jujube and fresh bitter melons are three staples I've been getting each visit. The place also does a much better job than the other Chinese supermarket in wooing customers with warm greetings and smile. They remember you over a few months of patronage and take note of details you shared while making purchases or in conversations. I only wish they could bring back the Taipan bakery (mooncakes). I was able to find it once years ago and I've never seen it again. Using the Chinese supermarket mentioned earlier as my reference point for Chinese grocery stores, this place deserves 4/5.

    Very clean and well organized Asian grocery store. I noticed that the produce was neatly sorted and priced and they offer everything from condiments to snacks to frozen food to kitchen ware. There weren't many customers when my family came in about 12 days ago and there isn't a lot of parking but I was very impressed with the offering and cleanliness of this market.

    I like this place for my Asian groceries and produce. Not as large as the other ones nearby but clean and not smelly. Very organized.

    Fun shopping experience with well stocked shelves from around the world…read more They now have Chinese, Mexican, Caribbean, Korean, African and other food shelves. We lived in China from 2011 to 2020 and this brings back all the fun of Chinese markets with friendly people, lots of Chinese and other languages spoken here. It is a melting pot of international shoppers! Great variety of cooking greens and specialized mushrooms. Also Asian style pots and pans, bowls, plates, and odd kitchen devices. Vegetables are much higher quality than a place like Shnucks and cheaper too! Enormous variety of frozen dumplings, stuffed buns, onion cakes, and others-and they're great and I buy them! Can't recommend this place highly enough.

    This maybe is the lowest tier Asian grocery store that we've come across, but I think it is also…read morethe smallest. The produce section is tiny, with not many options or variety! Their fish section was pretty decent, but they had bins of fish thawing out it looked like and didn't seem very sanitary. I was looking for a certain frozen vegetable (malunggay) which they did not have, but the aisle was flooded with water. It felt icky walking across because how long was it there? They organize their sections by condiments, teas, spices, snacks... and not by country like other places which I kind of liked. The parking lot is small, and there is only one way in and out! I don't think I'd visit this place again considering the other Asian grocery store has the things I've been looking for!

    Glad to find this spot while staying at the nearby Moonrise Hotel. Sometimes when traveling solo, I…read morelike to load up on water so I don't have to drink out of hotel sinks during my stay. I was happy to find some fantastic canned cold brews as well, so I was covered with my "coffee before the real coffee" the next morning. I might have a problem. The vibe in here is good when you walk in, a little weird towards the back. I'm not sure if part of the back was open or storage, it got darker and more isolated. There were tons of other snacks and a lot of Asian specialty items as well. Nice to have a store anchored in a busier area and near the university. I will definitely pop in here again if staying in the Loop.

    I reviewed United Provisions 10 years ago? And I gave it only 4 stars? Must be remedied!…read moreI now eat more international foods, though I'm still vegetarian and that limits me. United Provisions has turned into decent place to stop for a quick snack. When I stopped by last week, I bought 2 tornado relief fundraising mystery snack boxes. What a nice idea and so nicely presented. My cat enjoyed sitting on the wrapping paper. I've only unboxed one (the other is a gift). I don't want to spoil the mystery here, but I will add that I was a little disappointed that there were no chips or crackers in the box. However, the box value seemed quite good.

They have some great value too. They have stores within the market. You can buy sushi and other foods. There are sections where you can find Indian, Pakistan, Middle Eastern, and Halal meats.

In addition to the huge market area inside, there is a bubble tea stand, hot food with seating, and some skincare products across the front wall. The market itself is kind of amazing. There was an extensive selection of fresh Asian fruits, vegetables and herbs at great prices. Once we got into the aisles, there was, again, a huge selection - some of our favorite things were all the bottled sodas/coffees, the mochis and all the vinegars/sauces. In the back there is fish area that has live crabs, lobsters and even eels in addition to fresh fish. There is also a halal meat counter. We saw packages of frozen scallops, frozen crab legs and ground lamb that we plan to come back and try. I can't wait to return.

    This Asian grocery store is mostly what you would expect of a small grocery store. When I say…read moresmall, it's of an average smallness. Bigger than a convenience mart, much smaller than a Schnuck's. This grocery store is nestled into a very nicely kept shopping plaza. I'm rating the East East Oriental grocery store 4 stars because it's well lit, decently organized and is reasonably easy to find the things you might need, as long as you know what you're wanting. With that said, I found the selection a bit limited and some prices higher than expected. I visited this grocery store to stock up on a few things to help me make Sushi rolls. I got the Nori sheets I wanted, the primary reason I went there. However, it was from a brand that I don't normally use. That's what I mean by limited. I actually prefer the Yamamoto brand, but they don't carry it. So, I guess I get to try a new brand. I also picked up pickled Daikon, miso paste, tofu, pickled ginger and dried seaweed (Wakame). I was hoping to find some dried tofu, but they don't have it. You can get dried tofu as part of some miso soup packet mixes, but I wasn't looking for that. I also didn't need Furikake, wasabi, rice or Kewpie mayo, but they do carry these. On the flip side, they do not carry the small jars of Huy Fong Vietnamese garlic chili sauce. They only carry the larger size. I prefer the smaller size, but only because it takes me a long while to get through even that sized jar. For powdered Wasabi, I only recall seeing relatively large bags at around $20. That sized bag would last me years. On the plus side, the store does have a decent amount of dinnerware including ceramic bowls. If you're looking for larger sized bowls for Pho or Ramen, they do carry these. They also have a reasonably good selection of various Asian brand canned meat and fish. They also have a smallish section of fresh produce. As for prices, they are often on the higher than expected side. 100 sheet package of seaweed is around $25. That's actually a decent price all things considered. That makes it $2.50 for 10 sheets or $12.50 for 50 sheets. This 100 sheet package is way cheaper than buying 10 sheet packages. Furikake is around $4.50 or so, just a tad pricey. Keep in mind these are 2025 prices. Your mileage may vary. If you're looking for something specific like a sauce, there's a decent chance they'll have it here. Overall, I would definitely shop here again when I'm running low on Sushi fixings. Though, at 15 miles distance from home, it's a bit of a trek.

I came in at opening time and there were already others waiting to go inside. They have everything from frozen goods to dry goods to vegetables required for Korean cooking. Prices are fairly reasonable too. Glad I could stop by and pick up items that I needed in a short time.
