Since moving to Idaho, my family and I have started a monthly Google Meet cooking night with my sibs. We each pick a dish, gather our ingredients, and cook together. My dad joins us too, which has been such a fun way to stay connected despite the distance. We even get his insider tips on what makes his Filipino dishes taste so good. This market had everything I was looking for--from frozen banana leaves and ube to longanisa, Filipino breads, sauces, and hard-to-find pantry staples. Walking the aisles brought back so many memories. The staff was kind, welcoming, and happy to help when I had questions. The shopping center also has plenty of parking, and I loved the beautiful entrance and traditional statues that make it feel like you're stepping into a little piece of Asia before you even walk through the doors. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

The day I visited, Owner Kahm was there, with two of his adult children, Thana Vy "One" and Kilo. I recently visited for the first time and was beyond impressed with the wide variety of food items from all over the world. My plan was to stop in and take a few pictures, but I was there for over two hours, because there was so much to look at. The produce section includes items you won't find anywhere else. Much of the produce is grown locally by Kahm, on his farm in Kuna. Kahm kindly invited me to visit his farm next spring/summer. I can't wait! Kahm's future plans include offering cooking classes, and fresh made food. Thana's Little World Market is the best International market in Idaho. Many of the products are from Southeast Asia and East Asia, but they also carry items from the Middle East, Africa, Australia, and Samoa. Highly Recommended!!!

My husband and I decided to stop by here while we were staying in Boise last month. When we came in, we were greeted by the employee behind the register. We walked the narrow aisles, pushing our shopping cart, looking at everything. We ended up only purchasing dried squid for $3.29 (prior to tax). We opted for the non spicy version but there is also a spicy version for those that prefer the added kick. I have never seen dried squid come in long sheets like this before at the other Asian markets that I have gone to back at home in Los Angeles. The squid was good with a light sweet tomato flavor. It had a nice light chew as well. If I lived in this area, I would be back to purchase more snacks and drinks. I would probably also consider purchasing some of the frozen seafood too. Parking is available in their parking lot.

I hope Diana's will not be lost in the shuffle as Boise adds 'mega-store' sized Asian food markets as has happened in 2018 with more rumored to be on the way. SERVICE: This little market may be the only one specializing in Korean foods but the others sell Korean products too. I hope the pattern of mega-stores upending the little ones like this doesn't happen because the advantage of Diana's is the nice people who own it. They speak more English than I speak Hangul, which is to say I speak none, and so although most of the packaging is in Korean characters for labels and ingredients, they can always help me out. PRODUCTS: There are packaged goods like dried mushrooms (at bargain price), Gochuchang, dried Korean chilis (which really have no substitute), noodles, kimchi and...endless other items. There is a refrigerator and freezer in the back of the store for marinated meat products and although I've never tried them, I understand they are house made. They also have a few selections in serveware and homegoods. WE LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER: On a recent visit my hubby and I were one of only three customers in the store. The other customer was a Korean woman who asked me, in delightfully halting English and with obvious surprise in her voice seeing the items I was buying, "How you know what to buy? You have Korean friend who cooks for you?" I laughed and answered that I didn't and that I was cooking myself since I was reading about Korean dishes and asked if she wanted to be my friend and cook for me. She laughed too as she replied, "I don't cook. But we be friends and go to HIS house. HE cook." HE meaning the owner who was at the register that day. Alas that he didn't take her up on the swell suggestion! But the point is food is a great connector for people across cultures, as this nice woman demonstrated. We all eat and have things to teach and learn from each other across a dining table. ACCESSIBILITY: Located in one of Boise's many woefully maintained strip malls, the parking and path of travel from parking to the sidewalk are not ADA compliant (although that law is 28 years old) and will be difficult for people with mobility disabilities - like me. That is the fault of the strip mall owner and not the owner of Diana's.

I have driven past India Foods for quite some time but never stopped. I was surprised by how large the store was. From the outside, it looks rather small but it was nearly as large as the Asia Market and Orient Market in town. They had the powdered Kashmiri chile pepper and many other spices and food products. Many products that I hadn't seen at the other stores, because of their emphasis on Indian foods. Fresh produce items didn't seem at their peak, so that's something that I would look for other sources. The Asia Market gets its fresh produce on Fridays, the Orient a day later and they're always in good condition. Overall, though, I was pleased by the selection at this store.

I don't think the falafel was even homemade. They looked and tasted frozen. I was very disappointed in the meal. It looks pretty, but had no flavor. Also, parking. There is absolutely no parking.
