Stopped by this small oriental market recently and had a pretty good experience overall. Parking…read morewas easy to find since the store is located near a few other businesses, so that was already a plus before even stepping inside. I came here to Ben Thanh with a specific mission: finding shrimp paste that I couldn't track down at another oriental market down the street. Thankfully, they had exactly what I was looking for, which immediately earned them some points in my book. It's always a relief when a place carries those harder-to-find items. While browsing the aisles, I was pleasantly surprised to spot a few other things I'd like to come back for in the future, like different varieties of rice and Chinese sausages. One thing that really caught me off guard was that they sold baklava here! I decided to give it a try and, honestly, it tasted pretty good. I didn't do a full grocery haul this time, so I can't really comment on how their prices compare, but for convenience alone it's a great little shop to have nearby. Since I live fairly close in Lacey, I can definitely see myself stopping by again to check out more of their selection. There wasn't really a line; the cashier spoke both English and Vietnamese, was polite, welcoming enough, and quick to ring me up. Overall, a nice little market that came through when I needed it.

What a great selection and excellent pricing packed into a modest sized store! It makes shopping…read moreeasy. Everything was cleanly shelved and the aisles made sense in terms of product layout. Caters very well to southeast Asian cuisines, notably Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai. I quickly grabbed a big jar of kimchi from the cooler, a bag of jasmine rice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, and of course dehydrated shitake mushrooms. This allows you to get started with a bare bones Asian meal of rice with sides. Anyway I was well pleased with the prices. I didn't have to sift through massive choice like at H Mart, and I could get shopping done quick!

I was talking to a friend about where to buy nopales, and she suggested I go to Los Amigos. When I…read morepulled into the parking lot, I realized I had driven past the place 100 times and never knew it was there. Not only did they have nopales (already cleaned, I might add!) but they also had fresh hibiscus for jamaica, as well as some of the nicest plantains I had seen in a long while. I wasn't planning on buying chicharrones, but there they were, sitting hot in their deli section. Real chicharrones, fresh and not the bagged crisps you find in the grocery store. So, so good. Speaking of bagged treats, they are one of the few places in the area that carries Don Beto's plantain chips, so be sure to grab a bag. A little pricey but absolutely worth it. It's a small store and definitely packed with products (hot sauces, hominy, maseca, canned menudo, etc.) but, whatever you do, don't miss out on the fresh baked goods. So many choices! The staff is super friendly, too.

But Capitol Market is very local to me and I've shopped there a few times over the last year or so. They have a good assortment of sauces, condiments, rice, noodles, soups, seasonings and a solid, but basic, vegetable selection. The freezer cases filled with all sorts of goodies from frozen meats to sweets. Prices seemed pretty reasonable. The service is friendly. The checkout area can get a little crowded with peeps coming in and out the door. PS - The last time I was in, the restaurant next door was open and whatever they were cooking smelled delicious. Note to self: come back to the restaurant and try some pho.
