I have no idea why I procrastinated coming here, because this place just earned a permanent spot on…read moremy list. I stopped in on a very specific mission: ingredients for a ridiculous pozole-pho fusion experiment. I'd already been to one of my usual Asian markets, forgot half of what I needed (because apparently I like making life difficult), and figured I'd give this place a shot. My first thought walking in was, "Oh, this is smaller than I expected." About three minutes later I realized, "No... it's just efficiently packed." The produce section keeps going farther than you think, the shelves are stocked with all the staples I recognize, and then you hit the meat department... and wow. Seafood, pork, lamb, goat, beef bones, organ meats--you name it, they probably have it. If you're looking for something that makes the average grocery store employee say, "We don't carry that," this is probably where you'll find it. I grabbed pho spices, fish sauce (and was genuinely excited to find a vegan fish sauce option!), two pounds of beef bones, and an onion for about $15. Honestly? I expected to spend more. I also stumbled across a Jamaican section, which completely caught me off guard in the best way. I was there with tunnel vision, otherwise I probably would've wandered around for another half hour convincing myself I suddenly needed ingredients for three different cuisines. The checkout was quick, the cashier was friendly, and while the parking lot was surprisingly quiet, don't let that fool you. This isn't one of those giant, chaotic destination markets, feels more like the neighborhood spot where people already know they can find what they need. It is nicely organized which made my quick stop in very easy. I'll definitely be back. Next time I'm giving myself permission to actually browse instead of speed-running my shopping list. Something tells me I'll leave with way more than I came for... and honestly, I'm okay with that.

This most recent time I went , there were moldy taro roots on display, and I had to go back to return the sunflower seeds I bought, because they went bad and bugs were crawling inside the shells. Don't want to show pics so I don't gross anyone out. Also, the return policy is 24 hours so I had to go back the next day.

Theirs is the hot buttered with chives sprinkled on top and a bag of chips. There were Huge pieces of lobster meat and a lot of it. So much so that pieces fell out while trying to wrap my lips around it. I also bought a pound of Faroe Island Salmon that I'm excited to grill. It was very cool of the Tap Room (next door) to allow me to eat my lunch on their picnic tables outside without ordering a drink. I came after lunch so it wasn't busy. I won't sugar coat it, Nelson's is pricey. The roll was $34. However they have fish that you can't find elsewhere. The ahi tuna was beautiful but I already set my mind to the salmon. I was surprised they even had guanciale (pork jowel) which is sought after in Italian pasta dishes. It's a bit of a drive for me but next time I want a toasted buttery lobster roll I will come to Nelson's!

I'm a self-proclaimed seafood guy, and I've had enough poke for a lifetime, but I was coming into…read moretown and I thought...maybe there's a poke place in Phoenix that would impress me. So, after searching up and down, I stumbled upon Nelson's. I came by for an early lunch. This location is a very small place, really only big enough for a few fridges full of meats/fish, as well as the counter itself. I came in, and I took a little bit to decide what I wanted from the menu, and settled on a shrimp salad sandwich and a half pound of salmon poke. Before, during, and after the ordering process, I feel like the gentleman behind the counter was a little cold and not wanting to talk to me much. It seemed like I was inconveniencing him, so I felt bad about that. For that reason, I didn't really try to make conversation. I hope his day got better! I took the food togo, of course, and I ate the shrimp sandwich first. The seasoning was really great, and the salad was really well balanced. Mayo, onions, chives, cabbage: everything was well-represented and nothing was overbearingly seasoned. Yummy sandwich! The bread was a little drier than I would have liked, but very minor. It also came with Zapp's chips! Always a plus in my book. The poke? Delicious. I get the price. It's expensive, but it's the middle of a desert in 115 degree weather. Great representation of salmon poke, and super well seasoned with pacific island flavors that are certainly reminiscent of the stuff you'd get on the island! If you're looking for a wonderful seafood experience, I'm confident you'd like Nelson's in Phoenix.

The seafood here is really high quality and definitely shouldn't be missed. They rotate their specials regularly, and the one I ordered was amazing. There were so many different elements in one dish, fennel, soft-shell crab, corn, mint, and a few things I couldn't even name, but somehow everything came together perfectly. It was creative, flavorful, and unlike anything I've had elsewhere. We've also bought fresh fish from them before, and it was really good too.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Note I turned 58 years old in June. I walk with a cane and…read moresometimes a rollator. I have massive mobility issues. I am a minority. We will start there but my experience with everything except the cashier she was kind doing her job. Employees following me and then staring at me is a no. I am not a thief I have been working since I was 16 years old. So the fluffy presuming Latino security guard when I get to the line he scoots over and is staring at me. Ok maybe I'm confused but it's a hard stair and I turn to look up and the white male employee is standing to the rear of where I'm standing and also both are staring. I said you all have the right one. Too the cashier I state, when you are done ringing the groceries call your manager. I said I work for a 100 plus year old company, I have a job. The 1st employee watcher showed up in the back and was down from me. With a scanner and then came and stood to the side of me. I said I'm sorry do you need to scan here, he said no. I'm like ok and he pauses. He then says are you finding what you need. I'm like I'm good, thank you. That would not of been concern until employee number 2 I'm over near jams looking for mint jelly doing lamb chops (reason for the stop). While looking through all the jelly employee # 2 walks up facing little down from me staring at the area just down from where I was picked up nothing I'm thinking weird. The register experience solidified what I presumed was going on. These folks profiled me. At the register Mr fluffy security guard staring at me like mean and then scoots closer to the register I roll my eyes at him to then go to put more of my groceries on the belt to catch employee # 3 starring and positioned as if they have me blocked like I'm a thief. At this point I'm mad because the whole thing spoke to being profiled. Ma'am after you get me rung up and bagged get your manager my complaint isn't on you. I likely make more than your store manager in my mind I'm thinking and you got the right one today. I speak to manager Ron or Rod. I tell him what I experienced and I do not appreciate being profiled. Unless you see me or anyone doing anything this is uncalled for. I'm 58 year old senior with a disability. I'm not able to run, barely walking therefore what am I taking from your flipping store. I've been working since I was 16 years old. I'm not rich but pay my way in life. This is the closes sprouts to me. But I am struggling as to whether go to the 19th Ave location when needed after this experience. This was a bad experience overall.
