Clean and fresh store, no obscene or bad fishy smell inside :)
Very polite and kind asian staff that speak english and french very comfortably, and very helpful when she noticed that we were interested in something specific and gave us advice on how to use some of their ingredients and products, which honestly, wow. I've visited other asian grocery stores, and usually they're so shy or aren't comfortable with the language that they avoid all questions, so coming here as my first time was a real eye opener and such a breath of fresh air :) Because a lot of these things don't come with an english translation on the back lol
At the time I came, they didn't accept credit cards, only cash and debit, however I do hope that in the future they gain enough business to make it worth setting up their credit card proccessor. They didn't offer plastic bags though, only a nice quality logo'd shoping bag you buy for an extra dollar, which was fine for me, as least it's sturdy and I get to reuse it.
This store is very small though, they don't have any fresh fruits or veggies, just dried things that last long, we well as a few frozen items and cooking pots. Though they do have all the dried essentials, as well as spices. I did find a good salty bean paste too.
They did have many interesting ingredients as well, things I haven't seen before like dried bamboo fungus, which I consider to be a type of long white mushroom.
I had originally wanted to go to the other asian grocery store which was huge, but it ended up being out of my way so I didn't have time to go, and happen to had found this place by accident, and honestly, I am really happy to know it's here now :) read more
