Maybe I've been spoiled by living in larger cities in the past, but Asian Center Supermarket is…read moresmaller and pricier than I'm used to :( For example, a pack of Yakult here was $5.99, whereas ASSI would sell the same brand for $3.99). I think it's because there just aren't any competitors in central PA (closest H-Mart would be 1.5h away, ASSI plaza 1h away, etc). The produce selection looked ok - you could get things like thai chili peppers here, bokchoy, or more exotic things like lychee and jackfruit. There are a lot of aisles with dry goods like rice, noodles, sauces (they did carry jarred Maeseri thai sauces which is what I was looking for). They have a seafood section which had a strong smell and a "food court" with labeled fresh food items which was pretty barren - maybe 2 takeout things of dumplings on the shelf that didn't look particularly appetizing (visited on a Sunday around noon). Also, notably, the store is not in downtown Lancaster -- it's kind of remote from everything else. I don't think it would be worth making a special trip for.

I'm so happy this grocery store exists and love to visit as often as I can. The store is clean and…read moreorganized and I love the produce selection. The staff is very helpful and the seafood counter is a great place to try fresh fish. I picked up some mackerel last time I visited and the seafood clerk was able to filet it to my specifications. I also love that I can get Hotteok (Korean sweet pancake) mix here! There's such a big selection of items and I always find new ingredients here that I can create new delicious dishes with. I always look forward to my next trip!

The set up is simple. They have a variety of bags and bucket sizes you can fill up with the plaster scooper that they clearly mark as clean and used scoops. From here, you can walk around and peruse the fabulous range of gummies, from the usual gummy worms to the unusual like spicy mango. Service is attentive and quick. I love these kinds of shops and used to go to a famous shop in LA that was a lot more expensive than here and had a third of the selection. I'll be back!

The extensive bulk candy selection is well-labeled and you can mix and match as you buy by weight. I visited recently on a trip to Lancaster for my birthday and treated myself to what will end up likely being about a 6-month supply of candy for me. I was having fun putting together my buckets of candy, but couldn't help but notice that the employee working during my visit seemed kind of bored. She gave me a quick greeting when I entered, but then basically ignored me and never came out from behind the counter even though I was the only one in the store for most of my visit. I guess I just expected a bit more cheer from someone working in a bright, fun candy store. My main issue though is that I found out later from a local friend that they have a rewards program that the employee didn't mention to me at all. After spending over $120 in the store, it was disappointing to find out I likely missed out on potential rewards. The shop does have a great selection of sweets though and I have a huge sweet tooth, so I'll be back on my next visit to the area.

It's small, but well organized with a great selection of spices at reasonable prices -- anyone else shocked at the price of McCormick these days!?! I stopped in specifically for Jarritos sodas which they had a good variety of (I personally love the Guava), but found Coke in the glass bottle with REAL sugar (the only kind worth drinking) AND homemade, fresh tamales. The tamales were fantastic! Not the least bit dry and so much better than the dinky frozen ones you get at the larger grocery stores - also they were like $1.99 a piece - I pay triple that in DC for ones that are half as good! Highly recommend stopping in!

I got a ton of new brands to try out, and even some brands we've had but new options not available more local to me. One of the co-owners, Tammy, had the best customer service I've ever experienced in a store! She gave honest feedback to so many products I questioned, and helped me with all of my questions and concerns. She even sent safe chocolate samples home for my boys, and offered to order specific things in store or FOR me whenever I came back, if I just gave her a heads up! This was absolutely worth the trip out there! It's about 45min from Downingtown area - HIGHLY recommend! Thank you, Tammy!
