I've always wanted to write a review for Vieng Lao, as my family's been shopping here since the…read more1980s. There's only been a few times in the past (nearly) three decades where we couldn't find what we needed at Vieng Lao and the family running the store will find it for you if they don't carry it/have it in stock. From pork belly to betelnut, this has been THE go-to store for SE Asians and Islanders of NoPo! Honestly, my only quasi-complaint is that apparently stores like Vieng Lao are trendy now... So sometimes I have to search for parking or wait for a space to open up. But, parking aside, kudos to the family on surviving all these years and now flourishing!

First time coming to an Uwajimaya. The store was a medium to large sized grocery store. I liked…read morethat they had sales and one of their themes making Okonomiyaki. All the things to make Okonomiyaki was on sale (cabbage, Kewpie mayo, Okonomiyaki sauce, bonito flakes, Okonomiyaki flour mix), so I obliged and we made some at our Airbnb. We also bought from produce, snacks, and poke. Everything we had was really fresh. The only thing that I bought that wasn't my thing was Sakura Cookies by Nakaura. They were pretty, but the flavor was odd and they're a bit pasty. Our cashier (Shiow) was super friendly and heard us speak Mandarin. We had a fun conversation with her and she told us to come back for Senior discount days on Tuesday (10% off, 60 and older). They also have Student discount (10% off) on Friday evenings (6PM to close with valid college ID).

I hope as they get more settled into the space that the seemingly random placement of some items gets resolved and that the large storage area that's visible but inaccessible from the shopping area becomes more "hidden" because my brain says to me, "I wonder what's over there" and then I want to go there. I always make sure I have lots of time to go up and down the aisles because one never knows what one will find that one must have because one needs it. That said, it's a fun place to shop and often if I can't find what I'm looking for at another Asian store, they'll probably have it here. Staff has always been friendly and helpful if I need to find something. The best deal going is the $5 banh mi & drink - go there for this if for no other reason.

Let me say I'm of two minds about Hong Phat:…read more As an Asian Supermarket (and I've shopped at plenty), it's a bit underwhelming in terms of organization and product selection. I expected a lot more diversity of products, in such an expansive space. I enjoy a lot of powdered drinks (Vietnamese Coffee, Thai Tea, etc). I've been to much, much smaller stores with a lot more selection from Asia... and they were completely out of Thai Basil when I went... low on cilantro, too. Plenty of Culantro, if I was willing to substitute. Their pricing is cheaper than H-Mart and some of the other Asian markets in the area. However, the true value here, which cannot be denied is the $5 Bahn Mi with iced Vietnamese coffee... Were I them, I would probably just run a value Bahn Mi shop, with lines back to Pioneer Station. So far, I've had the sausage /pork patty version and the Dac Biet. The pork patty is far superior to the Ham + Head Cheese version for my taste. It seems that most of the people in the area do NOT include pate on any of their sandwiches... I understand that is traditional, and in Orlando... pretty much ubiquitous. It makes little difference, as the value is excellent. The iced coffee is the star here... I noticed a bit of a mocha flavor when I had it the first time, but put it down to my lack of familiarity with Vietnamese coffee. The second time, I definitely tasted the addition of Hershey's Syrup. Absolutely worth a trip for lunch, and if you aren't looking a ton of variety, a pretty decent place for sauces and soup bases.
