They used to…read moreimport/resell "clean" things -- vegetarian, pollution free, etc. -- for the members; similar to halal or kosher labelling, but not formal. For popular demand, they opened to the public, then moved to this location a few year back. Most things here are "buddhism compliant", if your restrictions are strict, ask for the exactness. Recently, they started to offer "wheel pie" 車輪餅. It's a popular Japanese/Taiwanese snack. Basically a pancake-like batter to form the shell made a mold, then fill with whatever. This nostalgic snack were well made: crisp shell (toast oven reheat well) and fillings delicious and at the right ratio. Pick your own flavors among about a dozen.

A friend of a friend told us about this place and we came to find a ton of mainly Taiwanese goods. Since the island is famous for tea we picked ups few of their organic only selections. The employees are super helpful and explained a lot of the goods to us. Need to comeback and explore more of their services

Came here to get food to go, on a Saturday after running errands at Home Depot next door…read more I've never seen or heard about this place, and I'm Iranian. Parking was easy. A very big plus for an Iranian restaurant. Usually they're packed. I think it's because the location is not as visible, and the Bay Area has a few other Iranian restaurants that dominate the market. So it's nice to see a different place. I only ordered the combo koobideh(beef&chicken). Took about 10 minutes, the staff was really friendly, the space looked very clean and good for family occasions. Food was ready, and I was excited, zoomed home and opened the box and the smell just made me fall in love. Btw it was Valentine's Day lol.. so this was a gift to myself. The RICE was the masterpiece. Nice and buttery(not too much) and saffron yellow. This itself was a star of the show. Both the beef and the chicken were very flavorful, of course I had to put sumac to add more flavor. They even included a few pieces of bread. And the burnt tomatoes.. LOVE them. Really happy I found this place, and the staff was really friendly and didn't feel very tiptop snobby. Kheyli mamnoon!!!

They have everything here, all your Persian food needs. I love the Persian grocery/dining format…read moreas I crave Persian kabobs on the regular. They have a homey, comfortable dining area inside, with many tables, for eating on site. Or you can pick up orders to go. Koobideh kabob plate was excellent. The portion is large and reasonably priced. I was in bliss. They had all my required accompaniments, hot sauce, extra roasted tomato, zereshk, sumac, saffron rice, hot tea. The owners were so warm and sweet. You can tell this is a labor of love, small family business. Definitely give it a try

They have Ichiban Kuji lottery system at the front! which is dope asf, I'm not sure if their other locations have it. But I would love to see more from various shows/fandoms if possible! not just shonen shows! Would highly recommend stopping by to gamble/get gifts for people. I haven't tried the food from this location yet but it looked yummy!

There's a lot of snacks, merch, and lots of goods to explore. You name it and it's there.. sushi, bento, onigiri, drinks, or snacks. I'm interested if they'll be adding more things because it's a big space. I do wish there was some sit down benches around this area, but no matter. It's a good way to get a few takeout meals for the week! The team is the same as the Fugetsu marketplace near Mitsuwa. Good quality food here. It's brand new and has a fresh look! Tip: it's hard to find parking spots here. I parked in the residential areas and walked.

I had been looking for aiyu jelly seeds for YEARS and this was the one place that had someone who…read morewas willing to check and supply some after I asked! I wasn't sure if it was a coincidence that they'd get a shipment of the product, but I so appreciated the lady that helped me! We had a bit of a language barrier between us, but I felt really valued as a customer when she looked into the item for me rather than dismiss me. I might regret writing this review because it'll attract others who will buy the product as well, but I think this store should be highlighted and treasured as a Taiwanese goods go-to stop! There were also a bunch of other products around the store which I didn't get a chance to look deeply at, since I happened to stumble upon this store and focused on asking about the seeds. I am excited to try and make some this weekend! Will update if they are seeds or aiyu jelly powder! I also got instant tofu pudding too. 10/10 would recommend anyone interested in Taiwanese specialty goods to stop by! Store is small, but super clean and products are neatly nestled. No cash! Credit cards only :-)

Bottom line: soft bread, FLAMEY sandos…read more Vibez: I tried them at the De Anza Community College Farmers Market on Sundays. Staff is super friendly (and knowledgeable about trendy clothing!). Bread: start with the base of the meal. The foundational book ends are soft pillowy, mildly sweet, sheets ready to please you. Egg salad: cold, creamy, sticks together well. Could there be more mayonnaise? Maybe! But I'm a mayo dude. Katsu: the thinner variety, which allows the bread to be the star of the show. Crispy on the outside, juicy and slight tender on the inside.

Then there's some that are in working order. The bathrooms are clean but needs more freshness to it.

But, I really miss those old mom/pop grocery stores there was such warmth and heart in those places. Wooltari, though a smaller grocery store, is on a different level. They carry high quality food, most of which comes directly from S.Korea either frozen or dried to preserve its freshness. Seafood, variety of rice cakes, ready to eat meals, excellent sesame oil, handmade dumplings, seasoning marinades, crab, and many organic items. I tried their frozen persimmon shake a bit pricey, but I loved it. I think the guy working there is the owner, and he's incredibly pleasant. If you have any questions about Korean food, he'll kindly answer them all. I highly recommend it definitely check it out.
