An interesting thing I noticed with this store is that dairy products are stored behind fridge doors, which I'm not used to. Cashiers were okay, but seemed not so interactive.

Nice minimalist vibe and decor in the interior. They also sell some bamboo toothbrushes, steel straws and other items of that nature. I like their concept and values of selling bulk foods with zero packaging, but would rather bring in my own glass containers to bulk barn instead.

Clearly, this is an Asian grocery store. It's not where you would go to get regular, every day western sundries.
