Great selection of Asian pantry staples, sauces, spices, and hard to find items that you don't usually see at regular grocery stores. The store is well stocked and feels authentic, with plenty of options whether you're cooking at home or just exploring new ingredients. Staff are helpful when you can find them, and prices are fair for specialty products. Not the fanciest shopping experience, but if you actually cook and want real ingredients, this place is a solid stop and definitely worth visiting.

I wasn't even planning to write a review for this place until my BF made me try their weekly…read morespecial ice cream swirl. This week's flavor was Red Bean and Matcha, and HOLY WORD-I-SHALL-NOT-SAY... this absolutely blew me out of the water. The red bean and matcha balanced each other so perfectly, and somehow tasted even better swirled together. Both cashiers were super cool too (was that Japanese I heard them speaking?). The guy with the awesome silver hair mentioned he was also from Houston, and we somehow ended up talking about how Austin's Asian scene just can't compare to how insanely diverse Houston's is. Still, it's always nice connecting over a mutual love for a great Asian environment--which Asahi definitely is. Wow--I've been here for 15 minutes, and I already have so much love for this place. My phone is literally dying as I hastily type this, but I felt obligated to spread the gospel immediately.

I walked into Asahi Imports with ONE GOAL: black sesame soft serve. That was the mission…read more Anything else I bumped into would simply be a bonus. And I didn't know what to expect my first visit. I thought I was going into a mini Japanese version of H Mart or something, but nope. This is very much a Japanese CONVENIENCE STORE with a little extra bonus on the side, so adjust any expectations. SIXTY PERCENT OF THE STORE IS NOODLES. Like WTF...is this a noodle headquarters? It felt unbalanced...like I had walked into the wrong store and wasn't supposed to be there. So many noodles, it scared me. I expected a variety store. Carry on. The layout is also a bit confusing for such a small space. I genuinely wasn't sure what areas were designated for customers and what areas were for employees...at one point wandering way into the back. My bad. They've got a solid selection of imported goods. Slightly pricey, but this is expected since they offer quite a few niche items you can't find everywhere. Still affordable, though. I HAPPILY grabbed some black sesame latte mix to whip up iced lattes at home as well as some black tea flavored soy milk. This is what you come to these stores for! The niche items. Now to the soft serve: Flavor-wise? Good strong black sesame flavor. Texture? Not so great. This was very icy and not creamy at all as I had hoped. The online pics were deceiving. Plus there were clumps in it that should've been blended out. However, it was refreshing and I could MAYBE see myself returning on a hot day for more if I'm close by. They only offer it on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. It's good, but no need to run for this. You can walk. Lol. It scratched the itch but I'm not running back for it. All in all, not an everyday stop, but an "I'll see you when I see you" spot. Know what I mean? 3 stars.

I really wanted to try a concha which reminded me of Taiwanese pineapple buns- it was good! Slightly dry, but tasted healthy (not oily) and moreish (keeps you wanting another bite). It was also not too sweet. I have been eyeing the blue corn tortillas and flan cakes- definitely returning to try other things. The service was friendly, speedy, and sweet, and prices are affordable. Next time it's someone's birthday, I am definitely picking up some desserts from here.

Desde el momento en que hicimos nuestra orden, la cajera nos atendió de muy mala gana y con una actitud poco amable. Incluso al pedir salsa, parecía molesta, aunque claramente la estábamos pagando junto con nuestra comida. Después, la misma cajera estaba trapeando el piso y casi nos golpea con el trapeador mientras pasábamos. Más tarde fuimos al área de panadería porque realmente nos gusta mucho el pan de este lugar. Sin embargo, la señorita que nos atendió también respondió de mala manera cuando le pregunté por un producto, diciendo de forma poco amable que no lo vendían. Al momento de cobrarnos, continuó con la misma actitud negativa. Por esa razón les doy una estrella. Nuestra visita fue aproximadamente a las 11:00 de la mañana.

I'm mainly reviewing the taqueria in the back. The taqueria does have the hole in the wall vibe, but not the good kind of hole in the wall.

The lady making my food was very friendly, but the food is a -1 star. I've been to other taquerias that are situated in mercados and the food is usually good, but this place really is not.

I'm so happy we busted a u turn and was able to snag some items before they closed! We were their last customers. I was hoping to get some marinated salted oysters but they didn't have any. Instead they had marinated raw octopus which I was hesitate to grab but I am so glad I did! That was honestly one of the best items I tried there! It went really well with rice and I really enjoyed the chewy texture of the raw octopus. 5/5 ! Radish kimchi: 3/5 not the best radish kimchi I had but it was decent. It didn't keep well in the refrig for over 2 weeks and went bad. The radish was crunchy and crispy. It was sour and everything you expect in a kim chi radish. Marinated raw crabs: 5/5 it was really good as always! This item I always snag consistently when I come there to get banchan. I was really super this time that crab was super firey hot. not sure if they were just heavy handed on the red pepper flakes but damn it was hot. It definitely slow me down from eating it all. It's usually not that spicy but this batch was for some reason. Do I recommend this place? Yes homemade traditional Banchan and you can enjoy it from the comfort of your home. Prices are somewhat reasonable and this is perfect with a bowl of rice or two ;)! Great way to try Korean food from OG cooking.

Try all of them at some point and if you're a health nut like me google the health benefits of some of the vegetables you may not be familiar with. Things like bellflower root and lotus root are superfoods! Their kimbap, beef broth and other prepared foods are delicious. The best part is that it all tastes homemade with real ingredients. They even do catering! If you like birria and/or ramen you need to try their gamjatang. Spicy, rich deep pork flavors. The big chunk of potato makes the flavors all meld together. Tons of collagen in it too to get that natural youthful skin!

This mart has all the asian spices and ingredients that you would need. I never thought I could find somewhere in Austin with reasonably priced banana ketchup and ube halaya. Now on to the food, I got a pork adobo plate with pancit and rice. Coming from Hawaii, I've missed good pork adobo so much. One of my biggest problems with pork adobo I've had in Austin is that it is usually not sour enough or is too dry. This place exceeded my expectations. The adobo tasted amazing and the sauce was just dripping off my chin. The pancit was also amazing and tasted like something I'd get from home. Also considering the price, they pack the plate. A certified banger and I can't wait to come back.
