I think I've been in here once before when I first moved to town but my most recent visit was to…read moreget some ingredients so I could make my own kimchi! The store isn't very big but they have a lot of stuff. I found what I thought I needed and asked the lady working if I could make kimchi with it and she said no, then walked me around to get the items I DID need and I really appreciated it! My kimchi turned out tasty, but who knows how authentic it actually is haha. One cool thing is they serve fresh kimbap on thursdays (I think), and I hear it's usually very limited quantities but I've had it before and can vouch that it's delicious! They sell their own made in-house kimchi too which looked good. They have Korean specific ingredients but also some other things that are more generally used in Asian cuisine. They're a little pricy but worth it if you need something quick! They still recommend masking (something I think it's maybe time for us to move on from...) but they don't require it, just know if you go in unmasked you may get some unpleasant looks. It is what it is.

The owners are lovely. Wonderful selection across the board. Lots of ramens to choose from,…read moredelicious kimchi in several types, frozen foods, a few fresh veggies, a few non-food items, I hope they expand that more! Fresh foods made, I think it's on Thursdays. Their fish cakes in the cooler are amazing! By the way Korean Ramen is my absolute favorite because it has the best texture :-)

I love this place! I moved to State College for school a few months back and took full advantage of…read moreshopping here since I'm not used to having an Asian market around. It has a lot of similar things to J&C down the road, but I honestly prefer this location. The space is a bit smaller and they don't play music so it's a bit less overwhelming. There's lots of good quality items to choose from! I usually check here first for things like kimchi or bok choy because I know they'll have a good selection. The employees are nice as well! They're quite kind with everyone and it seems like they're accommodating to those with cultural differences. An employee helped a woman pick out items for a hot pot when she asked, and I was able to ask for clarification on an item that I couldn't read the label of. Overall a great location, definitely recommend!

There are many things worth noting about this store that are good. But, they are trumped by the…read morestore and the store's workers' and customers' lack concern for each other, their community, and shoppers, and their respect for government or science. There was marginal mask wearing by the employees, about 50%, and about 25% by the customers. Both groups are thus inconsiderate, to themselves and to their customers, and to the related area. Mask wearing is a super easy way to reduce the spread and help us get back to work and play. It saddens me that in this somewhat christian area, known for its churches (many Mennonites work there, and Mennonites and Amish shop there, you can recognize them by their clothing and lack of mask), that they are not being kind, Christian, nor sensible. What would Jesus do? He would wear a bleeding mask. I did speak with the manager who noted that workers had been reprimanded. But within sight of us were two workers not wearing their mask close to correctly! One if left to ask, do they believe in food hygiene even, then? do they believe in food safety? If they won't follow some of the most necessary and visible public safety rules, what do they do when we are not looking? Do they "believe" in cold chain? Do they believe in the pathogen theory of disease? I guess I'll go back post pandemic, but I did lose a little faith in humanity in that the manager (the manager!) felt powerless to enforce public safety on her own employees. I cut my visit short, reported them to the PA Department of Health, and wrote this review. I will also have to be less sympathetic to groups of folks that do not support public health. I left sadly disappointed.

All the items you would expect from a PA country market - ring bologna, ham salad, fried chicken, whoopie pies, fresh baked bread, and bulk spices. Service is very, very friendly and this market is a great shop. A little far from State College for it to be a regular shipping destination but I always stop when I'm in the area. Prices are very reasonable too. Only down side is the produce section is small, but in season lots of the produce is locally grown.

Go into the Mr. Wish store and head to the back. You'll be greeted with a treasure trove of Asian goods from ramen, candy, frozen food, drinks and various dishware. The isles are a bit cramped so be careful when looking around. It's a little overwhelming at first but if you have a basic knowledge of Asian snacks and food you're sure to find something here. Price wise it's a bit more expensive than other markets like H Mart but you cant beat the convenience of having it right downtown. Staff are pretty quiet but polite when we went to ring out some candy and goods we picked out. We plan on stopping in again as they rearrange the store and offer new goods fairly frequently depending on the season/holiday.

I don't like to ask for prices so I just put it back down. They now have these amazing buns upfront that are hot and you get three in a bag, they have ground pork, ground beef, and chicken which is my favorite. I got their frozen wontons today I can't wait to try them. They came in a little clear box like you get at a bakery, so I'm assuming they make them there? They had a bunch of things like that now. They have a great fridge section with fresh vegetables, Asian chives, I wish they had fresh Parilla leaves. I can't find those anywhere. It's one of the only places in town you can find Japanese sweet potatoes which are darker red and just so enjoyable by themselves. This is by far my favorite Asian market around. Do be sure to check the expiration dates when you're there, though.

From their Facebook page about the location: "At the "Y" in Zion, Bellefonte, Pennsylvania 16823." It is a bit of a drive from State College, PA, but it appears this is the closest traditional butcher to State College. Their prices are about the same (some cuts were a few cents to a $1 cheaper) as a grocery store and it appears they have bulk specials. The lighting nor the signage inside was very good, which made the first time going here a bit confusing/overwhelming. They have fresh sliced and freshly grounded meats (pork and beef). They do have some chicken products, deli meats and frozen fish. It looked like there is a case for fresh fish, but there wasn't any fish in the case when I was there (which was weird since it was the week before Christmas). The staff was very friendly and almost too fast. I haven't tried the ground beef and pork I purchased just yet. But if it's good, I may consider going out there every now and then.
