They have added additional items in the store since the pandemic, including cooking items like, triangular rice molds for making onigiri, disposable chopsticks, and tableware. The management has also added a few new types of rice, including Tamanishiki, which is a super premium short grain rice that is used in high quality Japanese restaurants. "This type of rice is a combination of Koshihikari rice and Yumegokochi rice, with a rich flavor and excellent texture." Likewise, they carry Nishiki, and various Korean brands as well As always, the interior or the store is very, very clean, and items are well stocked. Likewise, the staff will go out of their way to special order some items if they are not normally carried on the shelves. The best thing is that they added a small eatery in the store called the "Korner Kitchen," which offers a very diversified menu of Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese items.

I debated visiting the various Asian markets in the area and chose this one because of its size. I was able to find all the ingredients except for the pho spices, which I already had and had brought from home. The only downside is that all of their meat was frozen.

There is sufficient parking…read more Once you enter, it doesn't look too big inside but when you keep walking, you will discover there is even a hidden seafood section on the left side! I was expecting more options of food but they have a good amount. I found some yummy snacks. The cashier assumed I spoke Chinese when she first greeted me. I also found out that you have to have a minimum of $10 otherwise you can't use credit card.

Simply amazing array of Asian foods, sauces, equipment. I have shopped this store dozens of times…read moreover the last 15 years & would compare them to a similar retail operations in any community with a significant Asian population. I met a nephew for dinner, a monthly get-together, but arrived earlier so heading into Hua Xing for some browsing. The market is right next door to their restaurant. My eye caught a set of Bamboo Steamers, designer Chop Sticks & long wooden skewers. Asked if they handled any Dim Sum items and was directed to an entire wall of freezers that contained SIMPLY PUT EVERYTHING! We started loading my shopping cart with all these goodies! Now in retrospect I should have purchased the frozen items after dinner, but got over excited and dropped the credit card. 50 minutes later, post dinner, I drive home just in the nic of time while all were still frozen. Plan to test my steaming skill set tonight - hot chile oil, soy sauce & sweet chile toppings are ready on the kitchen island. BTW - their 'Ambiance' is PACKED with every possible item you would ever need if you were a Master Wok Chef. Ya gotta check this spot out in Ann Arbor

The market has revised their layout in the last couple of years to make room for more items. Pantry…read moregoods are arranged primarily by country - they carry South and Central American items in addition to Mexican. They recently expanded the fresh vegetable selection and added a small choice of fresh meat cuts. Store is cleaner than it used to be. Fresh pastries are now in a case near the front across from the cash register; you ask for a tray and tongs and can get your own choices by the piece. Caveat: I have seen a couple of flies perusing the pastries. That happens at other markets too though. I usually have one or two particular things on my list, and usually bring home several more interesting ingredients. The staff is often rushed, but is friendly and answers my questions.

Great store for Latin America food, plenty of options for Brazilian needs…read more The store doesn't look very clean, and you need to be careful about the grains, unfortunately I've found a bug once at the Brazilian corn flour (flokão/cuscuz). Besides that... if you sanitize everything when you get home, would be a good place to find home country tastings.

This is a meat and fish shop owned by Mr. Golam. It's situated in Packard and Platt road opposite…read moreGalleria market. This shop has various Indian spices , rice( basmati), lentils, tea, coffee, cooking oil, ghee and many more items. Very much like a regular grocery store. The main items though are various Bangladeshi fish (frozen) and meat. Chicken, mutton, lamb, beef are the usual items here. The owner is very friendly and understands the meat quality. They even take preorders if you have big events and need large amounts of meat or fish. They can cut the pieces as you desire. This shop have plenty of free parking space too. The only big issue it the pricing of the meat and fishes. They are quite high in comparison to the Bangladeshi stores in Hamtramck. We always buy fish and meat from Golam but recently we started to buy same items from Detroit area through our Frieda who live nearby and it costs us half the price. This is the only shop of this kind in this area so maybe the higher price is justified.

Golam is a good addition to the area's collection of small ethnic groceries. The owner chatted with…read moreme about all they offered when I visited recently. The exotic fruits like mangos and papayas are obviously shipped in, but they also offer many fruits and vegetables grown locally. Corn on the cob and bright red tomatoes from Michigan were on offer on a recent July afternoon. I have been to many ethnic groceries in the area, but this is the first where I've seen bitter melon, a common ingredient in Indian dishes, available. In addition to produce, they have a meat counter, many dried and canned beans, and an astounding array of snack mixes. Some small flies were buzzing around some of the plums in an unappetizing way, and several of the mangoes and pears were looking dried and past their peak of freshness. Other items, especially the local Michigan produce, looked really good. They were running a special on watermelons the day I stopped in.

What an incredible little shop with an amazing kitchen. The fried chicken sandwich was absolutely outstanding--crispy, juicy, flavorful, and easily one of the best we've had. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. The new owners were incredibly kind and welcoming, and you can tell they're passionate about what they're building. Great food, friendly service, and an inviting atmosphere made for a wonderful experience. It's always exciting to find a local gem like this, and we'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend checking it out!

Modu has a fresh veggies section (like the size of Tsai's), lots of aisle of frozen and packaged as well as new prepared foods which are fire. The kitchen is closed Sunday & Monday but they plan to have the fridge stocked - loved the selection of kimbap, bibimbap, brisket soup, korean curry, bossam (!!) and more! They used to own and run Bao Boys so you know these chef-prepared dishes are bomb. I also like the size of this place - not too overwhelmingly large, and they're so friendly so if you have an ingredient question - don't hesitate to ask! I'll be back - especially since I frequent swift run.

All the Asian sauces you might need, a large selection of snacks and candies, alcohol, specialty dried ingredients and spices. Ramen, noodles, rice, dumplings, they have it all! Also have a selection of home wares (cooking/eating dishes, skincare stuff, etc). The only thing I think that's really missing here compared to other Asian grocery options is meat and seafood. They have a small selection in the freezers. Overall clean store and I usually can find what I need.

It's pretty big inside and has a sizable selection. One of the times we were checking out, the cashier seemed sick but I appreciated that she was wearing a mask AND gloves. So I still feel protected/it's somewhat sanitary here.

It's not particularly fresh and bright feeling in there but they fit a lot of product in there! I…read morehad never stopped in before today and I was surprised to see such a selection. They've got a lot of frozen goods, both savory and sweet, snacks, ice cream, heat and serve meals and ingredients galore. Plus dedicated aisles to dry goods like sauces and noodles, chips and crackers, sweets, beverages, etc. they also have a butcher counter (cannot speak to the quality of that but it looked good) and a produce section with both more traditional produce you can find in most stores in the US as well as some imported treats like pears and such. I also noticed some imported dairy aisle staples like milk (soy and otherwise), eggs (chicken and duck), and yogurt. Prices, especially for a store that mostly carries imported goods, seem pretty reasonable, though I honestly didn't end up purchasing anything (it's hot out and I wouldn't be home for a while). But now that I've been I can definitely see myself coming back again for a more dedicated shopping trip in the future.

I was getting my hair cut at the salon a few doors down in this strip mall and when I finished I…read moredecided to pop into Kasoa to check it out since they're a relatively recent opening. As I perused the small but mighty aisles of the shop it became very clear to me that I know very little about African cuisine. And I'm so glad they've opened so close to me so I can visit and learn along the way. When I stepped inside I first noticed the freezer coolers to my right. They carried a variety of meats and seafood--whole fish, cut pieces, filets and more of grouper, goat, lamb, beef, poultry, snapper, crab and more. as well as frozen veggies like okra and . Not a ton of prepared foods but loads to help you make fresh meals at home. They also have a butcher counter in the back. I didn't interact with that a lot but while I was there I did see a customer get a large piece of some sort of beef cut sectioned off into smaller pieces. They also have a small selection of produce and a cooler of beverages in flavors like banana, tamarind, etc. The majority of their imported selection comes in the form of their shelves of dry goods which include a variety of grains, both in smaller portions and bulk. Rice, beans, corn flour, cassava flour, yam flour, Gari, and more fill one entire shelf. I made note of all of them and immediately looked them up when I got home to learn more. They also have pantry staples like peanut butter, spices like pepper, whole nutmeg, suya seasoning, bay leaves, mango seeds, kuka (baobab tree leaves), plus snacks like plantain chips, kola nuts, kuli kuli, etc. Big jugs of cooking oils and a fairly large selection of powdered milks, ovaltine, cream of wheat, and ground corn mixes. They also had several varieties of chalk, clay, and limestone which I was also not familiar with in an edible context but it's apparently popular amongst pregnant women for managing nausea and digestive issues. I learned so much just checking out their shelves! Of course, Africa is a huge continent with differences between the cuisines found in different countries and regions so I can't speak to if they specialize in one region more than another but it seems like they have, at the very least, many staples that can be found in homes from North to South, East to West. And if you're just learning about it all this is a great starting point.
