Solid Asian food market in the South Philly area. I've come multiple times for Asian ingredients…read moreand have been able to find ~90% of what I've been looking for. It's frankly a bit run down and dimly lit, and definitely has the smell of an Asian market, that while it may be nostalgic for some, including me, it's probably not the preferred or ideal experience in the end. We packed up our stuff in a box available by the counters, and even that gave us the smell of the market on the way home. Staff are all Chinese-speaking, and thus it's probably hard to get help if you're not familiar and know what you're looking for. As a non-Chinese speaker, I personally am usually mostly in and out without much interaction with the staff beyond the personal at the checkstand. All that being said, this is well-stocked, and has what you're looking for if you know what you're looking for. Otherwise, probably best to visit elsewhere for a place that can offer more customer service, or just a more comfortable environment for shopping if you're not at home in Asian markets.

She was super…read moreexcited to see some of her favorite items here and also had no trouble at all finding 2 employees who were able to help her find some additional items quickly. The space was large with lots of choices, bright lighting and clear signs with pricing. The produce looked fresh and was super plentiful. The prices were also great. We got about a weeks worth of groceries, including frozen dumplings, fresh veggies, apples, eggs, chicken, oil, spices, tea and noodles for under $50. It was also so helpful to have a large parking lot available right there!

This spot has been a godsend for finding all the spices I need to keep my home kitchen stocked. For reference, here's just a small slice of what I regularly pick up from International Foods and Spices because I cook way too much pho, jerk chicken, lemongrass beef, and al pastor: Allspice Clove Cumin Annatto/Achiote Cinnamon (both cassia and regular) Coriander Various peppercorns Anise Star Anise Bay leaf Garam masala whole spice mix (and preground) Fenugreek (methi) Dried peppers Kashmiri chili powder ... and much much more! That's not even counting the staples like tahini, ghee, and various nuts, grains, dried beans, and other things. The only thing I'd say I wish they had more of was a better fresh herb selection. One quarter to half of the flavor in my cooking comes from fresh herbs, and if they had thai basil, mint, and other things like that regularly, it'd truly be a one stop shop for flavor. If you make flavorful food, International Food and Spices has got your back. And pick up a samosa and some saag while you're at it.

I really enjoyed visiting S.mart! You can't go wrong with anything you buy here…read more I spent less than $20 and got a decent amount of stuff: Black Truffle Velvet Mashed Potato Pringles Ritz Crackers with Chocolate Matcha Chocolates Watermelon Konjac jelly pack Japanese Oreos Gift Box (not pictured) So far, I've had the Oreos, Matcha Chocolate and the Pringles. All were pretty solid! The Pringles remind me of something other than mashed potatoes but I can't put my finger on it. The Oreos are all different flavors and are slightly thinner than the Oreos sold here in the US. The flavor I tried was White Peach and Crystal Grape. Interesting combination to mix with chocolate but it was actually tasty. The matcha chocolate doesn't taste like chocolate. The matcha flavor is very strong and it tastes like you're biting into a block of matcha but with the consistency of chocolate. I wasn't helped by anyone besides the cashier so I can't speak too much on the staff but overall I was able to navigate the store without any questions. The store is a little tight especially when you're sharing the aisles with other people. My understanding is that the S.mart directly next door is owned by the same family and is a store specializing in skincare. They share the same name but sell different items. Great selection of international treats and a nice place for gifts, too!

Grape plums were something new to me, and I became addicted to them rather quickly. They taste just as their name depicts, a hybrid between a black grape and a red plum. The skin is thick and tart, just like a plum, while the inside resembles a black grape in taste while the texture is a bit chewy like the grapes used to make wine. I ate these almost every day while I was in town!
