I always pick up some fresh seafood from the fish market there as well. Golden pompano is my go-to; super helpful that they clean the fresh caught fish for you, free of charge! Other favorite aisles to hit are ramen, snacks, curry pastes/seasonings, and the frozen section for dumplings. No trip to HMart is complete without a stop at their incredible food court. This offers a variety of Asian food stalls - from sushi to Korean fried chicken, they have a spot for everyone. Our favorite spot is Tous Le Jours bakery. Their cloud cakes are phenomenal and melt in your mouth good! In addition to the groceries and food court, they even have a small arcade and play area for the little ones, shops offering skincare products, and a hair salon. Truly one of a kind shopping experience!

THE BLACK AND WHITE: When I say Vietnamese-style, it's only because most of the internal signage is in vietnamese.

Pretty big seafood area and meat. Walking to your far left side are all the kitchen toolware if you want to level up your kitchen game. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Always enjoy my time here at MT supermarket.

Missing "best by or packed dates"! Didn't have confidence in buying at that point. Plenty of empty shelves as well. Not much of a selection in cold alcohol either. On the plus side, they have items you can't get elsewhere in the city. A review in hopes this feedback gets things in better shape. They have my continued support. Hoping for the best.

I learned about I-35 traffic while visiting Austin. It's just as bad as driving on I-5 in Seattle…read moreand LA. It was fine getting to 99 Ranch from downtown Austin but getting back to the hotel during rush hour was brutal. At least gas is more affordable in Austin though. 99 Ranch locations are indicators of Asian communities in the US. I wanted to check out the 99 Ranch in Austin before flying back home. The store is in a strip mall and within walking distance of other Asian businesses, businesses similar to the ones you'd find in Downtown Seattle and Tukwila/Southcenter. This 99 Ranch location is newer and cleaner than the one in Kent, WA. Staff were friendlier most likely because it was midday and during the week. I'm sure if it was after work or the weekend the store would have been crowded just like the HMart off Lakeline Blvd. Merch was reasonably priced. Sales tax in TX is less than WA. They also had a separate store around the corner for alcohol. With the high cost of living on the West Coast I'm sure people will continue to move to Texas. They'll find communities or create communities similar to what they've experienced prior to moving to the Lone Star State.

Went by on a Sunday evening for groceries, but ended up grabbing dinner there too. The line can…read moresurprisingly get pretty long, so be prepared, but they have plenty of seating, so you can eat there first and then go shopping afterward. Super convenient setup with a bunch of options. Think of it as a slightly more authentic, low key Panda Express with much larger portions. Like most Asian fast casual spots in this style, they really pile on the food. Three Item Combo ($11.99, 10/10) - comes with a side of fried rice or noodles, or you can split it half and half. Fried rice is definitely cooked better than Panda's. Not too salty, and pairs really well with the entrees. - Orange Chicken had its own spin, a little different from Panda Express but similar overall, crunchy (though not as crunchy as Panda) and very flavorful - Eggplant was amazing, deep fried and then sauteed in a savory marinade, tender, hot, and packed with flavor - 3rd entree sauteed chicken and pepper dish, wasn't as crispy but had a nice Sichuan-ish flavor that paired well with the noodles and rice - the 2 of us were quite hungry going in, but we couldn't even finish 1 order. Portions here are genuinely huge and easily stretch into leftovers for one person Overall, if you're going to 99 Ranch for authentic Asian groceries, definitely check out their food court too. Great prices, fantastic portions, great flavor, and super convenient before or after you shop. Keep it up, 99 Ranch.

I absolutely love this place. I still need to visit their other location on Burnett, as I…read moreunderstand that it's bigger, but this one's closer to me and it has everything I need. I come here for their selection of onigiri, natto, miso, kombu, bonito flakes, tofu, nori, togarashi, furikake, Japanese curry, sake, Japanese beer, sweet rice cakes, ramen, and just looking for something fun I've never tried before. Just be sure to follow the directions when opening an onigiri so it will stay in one piece. But oh those are so good. I even like the one that's basically just rice, seaweed and mustard greens. How they make something that simple taste so good, I'll never know. The layout is well-organized. Aisles, refrigerator and freezer sections are each relatively small, but packed with options. Each aisle I walk or door I open is an adventure that I spend a few minutes on, and I still discover new delights every time I visit. The staff here is nice, too. One lady walked me through their natto options very patiently. One was giving free samples. And the sweet lady checking me out at the register must have said Dōmo arigatō a dozen times during our brief transaction. One ingredient I bought reminded her that she needs to pick up the same for herself as she's making char siu tonight. And now I'm online looking for char siu recipes because it turns out I have all the ingredients; I just need the pork. I drive an hour each way to come here, but its totally worth it! My trip out is filled with anticipation an my trip back includes onigiri. Then I get home, put away my "haul," open an Asahi Super Dry and then I cook up a delicious Japanese meal :-)

This week's flavor was Red Bean and Matcha, and HOLY WORD-I-SHALL-NOT-SAY... this absolutely blew me out of the water. The red bean and matcha balanced each other so perfectly, and somehow tasted even better swirled together. Both cashiers were super cool too (was that Japanese I heard them speaking?). The guy with the awesome silver hair mentioned he was also from Houston, and we somehow ended up talking about how Austin's Asian scene just can't compare to how insanely diverse Houston's is. Still, it's always nice connecting over a mutual love for a great Asian environment--which Asahi definitely is. Wow--I've been here for 15 minutes, and I already have so much love for this place. My phone is literally dying as I hastily type this, but I felt obligated to spread the gospel immediately.

There were only 5 customers in there and we couldn't move around without someone moving. Customers were at the cashiers and we were stuck waiting for them to finish in order to get to the other aisle. Each aisle is a dead end and doesn't have an opening so you can go to the other side. Most of the items weren't labeled so I had to ask the cashier how much was this and that. Overall, I'm sure they don't have other Filipino stores in this area so this shop probably does well, I just didn't like the setup and the organization. Staff is very friendly. Their parking lot is small.

This mart has all the asian spices and ingredients that you would need. I never thought I could find somewhere in Austin with reasonably priced banana ketchup and ube halaya. Now on to the food, I got a pork adobo plate with pancit and rice. Coming from Hawaii, I've missed good pork adobo so much. One of my biggest problems with pork adobo I've had in Austin is that it is usually not sour enough or is too dry. This place exceeded my expectations. The adobo tasted amazing and the sauce was just dripping off my chin. The pancit was also amazing and tasted like something I'd get from home. Also considering the price, they pack the plate. A certified banger and I can't wait to come back.

You call to reserve the bento box and then stop by to pick it up. I originally wanted to try the Ebi Fried Shrimp Bento Box, but it had already sold out. So I went with my second favorite, the Shiromi (white fish fry) Bento Box, and it did not disappoint. The fish was crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, and paired well with the rice and sides for a satisfying lunch. The sides include kinpira, tamago yaki and snibazuke. I also picked up a Moshi Sparkling White Peach Yuzu drink, which was light, refreshing, and had a nice balance of sweet peach flavor with a citrusy yuzu finish. If you're looking for authentic Japanese snacks, drinks, or a fresh grab-and-go meal, Asahi Japanese Market is definitely worth a visit.

But does it have the best selection of Asian specialty ingredients? Also no. Hana World Market is a gift to the neighborhood, despite all that. It's a convenient place to find affordable Korean, Chinese, and some Japanese goods without spending a whole day of it. They have a fabulous selection of kimchi, miso paste, tofu, noodles, tea, hot sauce, and more. I find find vegetables that few other places carry, like celtuce, pea leaves, and kabocha. Anytime I'm craving kimbop, I know I can hit up the freezer aisle and find tons of vegan options, way better than Trader Joe's. They have the edge over H-Mart and 99 Ranch for the exact reason that they're not as big. Even on a Saturday afternoon, the vibe is chill. There's space to navigate with a full cart. There's room in the parking lot. I can get what I need and not stress over crowds. Of course, there's the food court and coffee stand, which are attractions in and of themselves. I just go for groceries and I'm not disapointed.
