This grocery store is very close to the university. Parking on the strip plaza is convenient. The grocery store function as oriental grocery store. They carry a lot of oriental food and spice. Frozen item to snack. I saw something they carry including the wet Malaysian red rendang and curry paste. This is difficult to find. Many grocery stores sold dry powder. Not wet types. I feel the item in this grocery store has a lot of mark up in compare to Tampa. This is due to monopoly in this area. If you want restaurant cook dish in their menu, you need to order two days advance. We got the chicken satay, lemongrass pork, tamarind shrimp, and Thai basil squid. The squid and shrimp is ok. However, the satay meet the Malaysian standard. I recommend you order it. The lemongrass pork is also worth the price and taste. The shrimp is a bit not top quality fresh. Can skip this.

Friends recommended us to check out the new HL Asian Market in South Sarasota. We made a stop on a…read moreSunday on our way back from Siesta Key. On entrance to the parking lot, there is a sign advertising Roast Duck, Roast Pork and Roast Pork Belly! It is a good size market with kitchen items, sauces, noodles, ramen, rice, dairy, produce, meats, seafood, etc. There are mixed Filipino, Vietnamese, Korean and Chinese food items. The place is clean and well organized. At the entrance, a layout wall chart was clearly in display! According to my wife, most prices are cheaper than Fort Myers, but a few items are higher. There are live fish, lobsters, blue crabs and other seafood available. The lobster prices are good! We did not buy any seafood because we simply were not prepared to cook seafood and a small cooler in our car. Wait, they have a huge live King Crab in the tank for $59.99 per pound! They have a good selection of Sake and Soju. We picked up a whole roast duck, 1 1/2 pound of roast pork, produce, tofu, dried mushroom, and dried chrysanthemum teas. No bakery in this market and we pick up a few packages of frozen roast pork bun, or Cha Shu Bao. The staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely coming back!

They post their site map by the entrance, which is rare and greatly appreciated. They've got a butcher and a few live fish tanks, but they don't clean the fish for you. I only got a few crabs.

The California roll and Mexican rolls were tasty and fresh, and we enjoyed trying something new from their prepared foods section. The only downside was the bathrooms, which definitely needed attention. With how busy and lively the store is, better upkeep there would make the experience even stronger. Overall, a really enjoyable visit with lots of interesting finds. We'll definitely be back to explore more.
