    Dried mushrooms and seaweed
    Monica E.

    If I cannot get up to Lee Lee's, Grantstone (or is it Grant Stone?) it is. This supermarket, which specializes in Asian fare and cookware, is right at the intersection of Grant and Stone -- hence its name. And it has been in business, I hear, since the late 1980s. In the fashion of the 1980s, Grantstone is an overabundant, mismatched market with indulgences stocked aisle by aisle. It is, quite honestly, the modern day version of that 80s fashionista who wore chunky jewelry, too much makeup and bright clothing...with a blazer and a mullet. I hear that, during the fall, the retro sign that was once out front and along the street had to be removed because it had greatly deteriorated. That's too bad. I remember that sign with fondness. Anyway, I can affirm what others have mentioned -- there is a strange, dense smell in the air that is not at all appeasing. Also, the market can feel a bit scattered at times, but I find that the staff is generally helpful when you get tired of racing through the aisle for something that seems like it would be stocked with sauces, but is actually stocked with the spices. Here, you will find just about everything you need to prepare dishes from China, Japan, India, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines and elsewhere in Asia. Often, items are in the languages of their home countries. The market also sells steam baskets, woks, bowls, spoons, chopsticks, sushi mats and a whole range of other dishes and utensils. You can even find Asian beers, sake, toys and also bamboo, Asian candies and Chinese medicine and herbal supplements here. I have and continued to shop at Grantstone for the range: taro root, eggplant, these delicious shrimp-flavored chips, fresh ginger, mushrooms (dried and fresh), avocado, lime, nice sized-bunches of cilantro, noodles, soy sauce and fish sauce (they keep quite the collection), chilies and spicy sauces, coconut milk, Indian spices (especially turmeric, coriander, cardamom and garam masala), all sorts of rices (!!!), Chinese sausage, century eggs, etc. etc.

    Someone mentioned the smell of this store, However, ​I didn't notice at all nor it did not bother me. They are also very friendly and helpful. This store looks old from the outside but very clean, well organized in most of the area, a big grocery store that carries a lot of products. Vegetables are fresh and prices are very fair! If you are looking for Japanese - 納豆、味噌、たれ各種、お米、玄米、山芋、根菜、きのこ類、その他野菜、麺、梅干し、日本のキムチ、お豆腐とかこんにゃくとか色々ありましたよ。(Not sure if Japanese character would appear correctly..) Overall this store is more than enough to needs of Japanese products.

    I'm upset right now because this afternoon I went to the store on my first time, I bought some snacks and instant noodles. Just now I boiled one bag and it smells really bad, so I checked the product date and found it already expired!... the fruit and vegetables there didn't look fresh either, I will call them tmr and see what they say

    Shop here frequently for coconuts, yams, mushrooms and hot sauces. Great selections of Asian products.

    Comparing an Asian market to your local fry's, sprouts or Safeway's is not a fair comparison.

    Walked around the store after returning an Amazon purchase (appreciate the ability to do that). I…read morehave enjoyed their organic strawberries in particular lately as they are fresh and taste good. They still have the hot and cold buffet that is $11.99/pound now. They still have the pizza take out bar with a variety of toppings. They have some items or brands you won't find in other places but may not have brands you get elsewhere. It's nice to discover some new things you haven't tried before. The bakery has some tempting things to look at. The store is large with wide enough aisles so you can browse easily. Prices are a little higher than other places but some things may be worth it. The parking is limited only because of all the other businesses in the area. I'll go back and look around again. I can usually find something I want to try.

    I have never eaten at Whole Foods, I've only ever shopped there. But they actually have a huge…read moreselection of to-go foods available in their deli section. They also have ready made sushi, which is what I ended up getting. They have a little something for everyone ranging from your typical American food like pizza, pasta, chicken fingers and salads to Mexican, Indian and Asian food. The sushi I got was really tasty. The spring rolls I got were okay but the dipping sauce is not what I expected which was a tangy sauce. Usually for spring rolls it's a peanut sauce. For sushi they have low sodium soy sauce available which is a plus. There is very limited seating at the store to sit down and eat so most likely you'll have to bring your food home. All in all, it's not bad. Fairly cheap, and a decent selection!

I guess you have to be a little bit crazy to want to do customer service work and to do it well because the shoppers at the Wilmot location have been known to be grumpy, hung-over, rich people from the Sabino Canyon foothills area."

They add features, cute trade names, and try to develop cults around products to boost sales. While it's not a bad idea to boost sales, the basics have to be right. I have to choose this locale, where I went Wednesday, to moan about the severe hike in prices, short cycle of products, and the drift from doing the basics correctly. TJ used to march to a different drummer. House brands with quality for household staples, often with an international flavor and source. There is still a wide variety of decent international staples, but it's highly focused on cult products and flavorings. Prepackaged and ultra-processed foods are becoming standard(s). Protein is down, carbs are up. There's still a reasonable variety of veggies, fresh, but not in wide abundance. Certain common items, like walnuts, go missing for long periods of time, and other items become seasonable and their shelf space is unreliable. So while it's still good, there is now wade through the weeds of products that are edge-case. Hail Mary Marketing attempts. I bristle.
