we were up in Sarasota, Fl visiting a friend and we went with them to this Asian market! The please was busy with customers! The shelves were stocked with pretty much what you need to cook with, eat , variety of choices package noodles and fresh noodles too! The vegetables were clean and fresh! decent choice of fresh fish and shell items too! good choices of about everything from products, produce and cookware and dishes! But my favorite was the BBQ area ! My god the BBQ duck, Char sui and pork was so delicious and tasty! Too bad that Sarasota is an hour and half from where we are! But we will be back again to shop this nice Asian market again!!! Prices reasonable $$ read more

Definitely will return. A full Asian supermarket that opened 13 months ago, with excellent service. The staff I've conversations with all spoke Mandarin. They post their site map by the entrance, which is rare and greatly appreciated. They've got a butcher and a few live fish tanks, but they don't clean the fish for you. I only got a few crabs. read more

Very nice market however be cautious and check all pull dates! Unfortunately they aren't good at pulling items out of the freezer that have gone beyond their "best by date". I unfortunately bought one spring roll package that was two months past the "best by". Same goes for the sauces and condiments. Most are not expired but very close to expiring. Some cashiers need a little training in how to be a little friendlier. Prices are VERY good and I will continue to shop there! read more

For not having H Mart in Sarasota this is as closer as it gets. I recommend the Japanese waffle ice cream.

Conveniently located off Tamiami trail main road, lots of options for Asian food and groceries. Fresh veggies & fruits seem to change around. One stop shop for most things if you are South of Tampa and not near any MD supermarket this market is a good choice. Prices are mediocre some cheaper than Weee order service some more expensive, know your prices and do your homework. If I had only a choice of Walmart or HL I would go to HL for my ingredients. Friendly staff helped me find things. Definitely more helpful if you have a photo of what you are looking for, they were able to read the Chinese and guide me to a similar product. read more

Having lived in Sarasota for thirteen years without a large Asian grocery store, I was so excited to hear about this one opening! I finally visited about seven months after it opened, and it didn't disappoint. It really is like the grocery stores I have visited in the northeast (Boston Chinatown, Flushing). It's huge and has a good amount of parking, and the inventory was impressive. read more

Huuuuuge Asian Market. And very clean, doesn't smell. I couldn't find the boba counter to order my milk tea, and I'm wondering now if it actually exists per the sign outside? But if you need anything from sushi ingredients to fresh fish, nori to noodles, and every seasoning and spice under the sun, they have it. Including kitchenware, dishes, etc. Staff were friendly and all smiles. Other than no boba, I will say that they need to put prices on things. Rows and rows of items and you dont know how much it costs until you're at the register. read more

Best selection of Asian food store we have found . China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand and Philippines, healthy dose of all our needs. Full thumbs up on this store read more

We were in the Sarasota area and stumbled across this newly opened Asian store and had to go in. I was so excited, because I finally got to try the viral mango, lemon and peach ice cream. My husband and I love a good Asian store and grabbed a few items.. new bowls, sauces and things were don't normally find at the other asian stores in our area. Great selection and great options. Clean and reasonable prices. Friendly staff. read more

Super excited that we passed this market on the way to Siesta Key. We had to do an immediate u turn. It's a good size market with kitchen items, sauces, noodles, coffees, teas, cookies, snacks, ramen, rice, dairy, produce, meats, & seafood, etc. I saw Filipino sauces, Vietnamese mixes, and Chinese and Korean etc type food items. Some prices I feel were more expensive than I've seen elsewhere but I know I did see prices cheaper here for other items compared to other places. I felt like they had more ice cream options here than another place I go by Tampa(Lotte Market). I was hoping they had some already cooked food, but in the future they plan to have roasted duck. The most fascinating to me was the King crab in the seafood section. It was huge, alive, & $59.99 per pound. I'll def come back for my shopping needs! Glad that it's new in Sarasota! Clean bathroom, squishy aisles, good size parking lot. I didn't experience the customer service at this time. read more

HL Asian Market is a hidden gem for anyone who loves exploring authentic Asian groceries and snacks. The aisles are packed with hard to find sauces, noodles, spices, and frozen items from multiple countries across Asia, making it easy to recreate restaurant-quality dishes at home. Fresh produce, herbs, and specialty cuts of meat elevate your cooking options even more. Prices are reasonable, and the staff is helpful if you need guidance finding ingredients cause I had no idea what I was doing just things I seen on social media . It's a one-stop shop for pantry restocks and culinary inspiration read more

Finally a big Asian market in Sarasota. This market located near Clark road close to Stickney Point Draw Bridge. Parking is plenty during our lunch time visit. Their roast duck stand is not open for business yet. They have big Korean and Vietnamese section. Many of the sauce from China or Southeast Asia. We found some items that are not sales in Tampa. The live seafood section is big. They have live fish, king crab, turtle, frog, dungeon crab. The market has produce and meat section. They even can clean the fish for you with several selection on the board. The candy and dessert section is good. The instant noodles selection also big. You can get entire box. Check out also fast enough due to multiple lanes opening. read more

Wow!!! This a very large "Asian" market that opened in 2024 in South Sarasota in 41. It has a large selection from noodles and snacks to candies meats, live seafood, canned goods and fresh produce. Don't be overwhelmed! Picked some fun things to try. Google is helpful for preparation info and suggestions or Siri. Not sure on Alexa. Live eels. Fish sauce flavored Lay's potato chips. Dozens of boodle varieties from mung bean and wheat to rice and ramen. Duck, rabbit, frog, goat, live blue crabs, jars of jellyfish, bamboo shoots, and exotic Kit Kats. A welcome addition to the Sarasota food scene. They are Chinese focused and have some Filipino foods such as frozen lumpia but the selection of Vietnamese foods is a little light. No banh bao! Don't ban you, banh mi!!! Otherwise a fun and sensory experience. Travel far and wide among its aisles..Breathe in the shores and jungles of the Orient. read more

Fabulous store with everything you need for Asian cooking. Will always shop there for Asian supplies for recipes.

This is a new Asian supermarket in Sarasota area. At my first visit, it was satisfactory. They got comprehensive items of Asian grocery. The seafood department was especially impressive. I have never seen so many exotic seafood in Asian grocery stores. If I am a seafood chef, this will be my culinary adventure. The display of grocery items are organized. Aisles are open and clean. Even the restrooms are very clean and modern looking. There was no problem for checkout nor parking. I bought some vegetable, dry noodle, sauce and snacks. They were reasonable price and fresh. I will come again when I am at Sarasota. read more

Love the huge selection of everything you may ever want or need from the Asian pantry. Just can't wait until they start doing prepared foods for takeout. And be sure to take a sweater or jacket. The fresh produce area is like a meat locker! read more

I was super excited to visit this new and large Asian market. It's located in South Sarasota just off Tamiami trail and has lots of parking. The things that I liked were that it has a very wide array of Asian food products from China, Vietnam, Thailand and beyond. If there's an ingredient that you really need they are likely to have it. They also sell cookware and kitchenware. The things that I did not like are as follows: 1. The layout of the space is a little disorienting. The isles are cramped and the stacking of shelves did not make sense to me. A lot of products were out of place. 2. The quality of the fresh meat and fish counter did not look to be that good to me, nor do I think it was particularly fresh (minus the live lobsters/crabs). 3. Asian markets are usually known for having a better price point; I did not find this to be the case here. Unless I was struggling to find an ingredient I think I would shop elsewhere next time. 4. The cash registers are awkwardly placed, but staff were polite and friendly. read more

Great market! Lots of authentic Chinese grocery and produce. They also have Korean and Vietnamese products. They have fresh seafood and they are expected to have BBQ soon! I am very impressed by the vast selection. The store is very clean and organized. I even saw staff cleaning the condensation off the fridge doors. The prices are very reasonable. read more

For starters. Please create some curb appeal by cutting the grass and removing the tattered wind signs for " OPEN". The store smells are not good and some translated shelf tags would be appreciated. Willing to try again. read more

Having lived in South Korea for many years, I often buy Korean food. I was buying a lot on Amazon but found things like Kimchi Jjigae/stew is $6.99 at HL and 11.99 on Amazon. They are always kind and courteous in the store. They provide a great service and I am so happy they are in Sarasota. read more

We went to HL Asian Market last weekend and it was pretty fun. They have a lot of different and unique items. The check out is pretty quick. The bathrooms are clean. The only downside is the place smells like fish but otherwise it's a really fun place. read more

Interesting store. Great for Asian ingredients and Asian cuisine. Due to different cultures some varieties and options are in multiple places in the store. Also store shelves could be better organized and aisles cleaner read more

Got a lot of variety of Asian products. Almost too much to sort through. We do enjoy going here for items we definitely cannot find anywhere else read more

I'm less excited on my second visit. Sure, it's great having this variety of foods, including really beautiful baby bok choy that I bought and ate yesterday, but I'm noticing some issues. There are a million terrific soy sauces/shoyus out there, but this store has only a few mass produced brands, nothing interesting or premium. The frozen foods are a disaster. Mochi ice creams had been frozen and thawed so as to be inedible and the frozen status of the cha siu bow is unclear. The fish selection and pricing is wonderful, but the cleanliness and maintenance of the equipment, especially the live tanks is not what I'd expect from a big time operation. Glad you're here, but do better. read more

Huge store that opened today on the south trail in Sarasota. Despite the opening day crowds I found the market cavernous with lots choices from many places. Fish market is impressive. Seems to have all you need to create recipes or buy premade foods. read more

Love this place. If I can't go to Lotte or MD, I go here. Wish they had restaurants or even fruit smoothies with tapioca.

Way too expensive double from what you can get at MD Oriental Market in Pinellas, FL. MD Market has much more! You know it's expensive when there are more non Asians than Asians. Go to MD market read more

Great addition to Sarasota for Asian food. I was looking for Chinese staples and some specialty items: fried tofu, sticky rice balls 湯圆, scallion pancakes, 8 treasure rice cake 八寳飯。They were out of the dry tofu skin which I got shortly after they opened. Altogether a very welcome marketplace for Sarasota read more

So many options and a variety of different things from sweets to savoury snacks to even kitchen utensils. You won't be disappointed. read more

So awesome. The man behind the meat counter was so helpful. I was making PHO for the first time and his recommendations were perfect. It was delicious read more

Has an extremely wide variety of items to choose from and is extremely easy to navigate. I was there opening day which was really overwhelming, but on other days it's relatively calm. read more

Fabulous Asian Market. Great selection of produce, dry goods, seafood, meats, frozen foods. Owner and staff friendly and helpful. Some staff still learning english. They go out of their way to get other staff that speak english if they don't understand. Pretty impressive customer service. They recently opened and still had hard to find items in stock. Chinese BBQ sometime in spring '25. We were there for over an hour checking things out. Filled our pantries with Asian goodies. Great addition to the Sarasota supermarket scene. Good luck, HL Asian Market read more

Very disappointed with selection choices. Lots of ramen. Small produce section and awful smell by seafood.

Great store. There's a negative, almost toxic review posted by Patricia L. On Dec 23 2024, and I felt bad for the business that just opened to immediately be slandered by that person, so I'm posting this review to share some love during the holidays. The newly opened store has great offerings that are not available elsewhere in Sarasota. It is also clean, contrary to that Dec 23 rant. I pray for Patricia L. to find happiness and to be able to highlight the beauty in the things that she sees, and more success for HL Asian market. I am not affiliated with the HL market, just someone who genuinely felt bad about the detailed negative review filled with racially- charged dog whistles against a minority-owned business that has just been opened for 2 weeks when the toxic review was posted. read more

WOW Lots of selections, best prices overall compared to other Asia markets. Fresh seafoods and meat to choose from. I love the beautiful ceramic colorful dishes, soup and rice bowls selections. I can spend the whole day. Great place to load up on my Asian dry goods and spices! Check out this place if you can!! read more

Such a nice, large Asian market with foods from all over Asia, not just regional. Plenty of parking and not cramped like many other Asian markets read more

Clean, with a great variety of products ranging from housewares to fresh fish torice and noodles.
