The first thing to hit you is the smell. Rotten, salty fish. It smells like a rotten, fish market. No one there speaks English. I wanted to try a durian fruit, as I'd never had it before. But, after going there about 10 times, I finally began calling. Impossible to find a person that actually speaks English. Also, they only get the exotic fruits about once a month, or less. I bought a bag of mangosteens that had just come in, and every single one was rotten. I did finally buy a Durian. It cost about $75 at $15/pound. And, I bought the smallest one. It was okay, and I satisfied my curiosity. I'd never had it before, but it fit the description from the internet. Unless you're Asian, I would avoid this place. The fish smell alone is enough to make a westerner sick. read more

We need more Asian grocery stores in Buffalo! Great selection of fruits, vegetables and meats that are not commonly offered in the area. Need instant noodles? They got it. I'm accustomed to a wider variety than most grocery stores in this area provides. Parking isn't hard to find. They also sell other products and have an atm on site. I come here from time to time when I'm in the area. But otherwise, I might go to the Asian grocery store across from Lowes on Niagara Falls Blvd. read more

Some of the bizarre things on sale here might lead you to deem it a "Grossery" instead of a Grocery store. However, they have plenty of "Normal" stuff too, after all they are on Normal Avenue. I always make the effort to shop at little corner shops like this instead of Walmarts and 7 Elevens, although usually my efforts fall short due to prices and convenience. Compared to Tops on the west-side and all the local 7 Elevens, the prices here are a bit lower and the selection of convenience store goodies and foreign delights is much more eclectic and exciting. It's not the cheapest and a few of the things on the shelves were out of date, but I don't care about that. I'm just happy to have places like this in town. Now all we need is a South African Grocery and a South American Grocery. I'm not sure about a South Australian Grocery though. G'day mate, wonna boyy a boomerang? read more

A Chau International Market

I love the Asian supplies in this grocery store! They have odd things I can't find anywhere else,…read moreincluding frozen whole durians! The Vietnamese owner is the cashier, and while she's not on the floor during business hours, you can ask if an item is available. Ramen twelve- packs, hotpot soup bases, refrigerated greens, kimchi, tofu and a variety of eggs: Chicken, duck, quail and 100 year old eggs. There's also frozen prepared foods like dumplings, BBQ pork buns, spring rolls, and Chinese sausages. Want some frozen fish, crab, or shrimp or fish balls? They have it here! Joss sticks, altar candles (red), and Buddha statues available. Don't worry if the neon sign for "Open" isn't on: There's plenty of street parking on Niagara and side streets, and these are hard-working owners.

I checked to make sure they restock items often because the last time I reviewed a neighborhood…read morefavorite place someone cleaned out their Boba tea and Jackfruit in water and it's never been back. It's a well sized store considering it's in the city and they make use of every single inch of space. If it's Vietnamese they have it. If it's Asian or African they might have it too. Their frozen items are extensive. I think I counted three different kinds of fish heads alone (which...not something I'm gonna eat but it speaks to the variety of items). They are also very well stocked with snacks of all types, sweet or savory. They are a *little* bit more expensive than my usual go to Vietnamese store but it's worth it for the wide array of items and the boba tea of course.

Cute little African market that recently opened near me, so I decided to stop in to check it out…read more The cashier was very friendly and helpful. I browsed through the store just to see wjat they carried. They have a variety of merchandise. Food items, beauty products, hair pieces, decorative pieces for the home etc. The food selection is limited but seeing as thry are a speciality market, that is to be expected. They do have some frozen veggies and fish that caught my eye. Other food items inclued canned goods, dried beans, rice, sauces, powders etc that are good for african recipes. Not a great selection of any fresh produce, but I often need just one or 2 tomatoes, and instead of going to the store I can walk here, which I am excited for. The store is clean and the staff inviting. I will definitely be stopping there again on many occassions.

With this deal though, you pay $15.99 for two 16 ounce containers. Calculating the per ounce weight, it's slightly cheaper to buy in person. This is assuming you're picking up the order. If you were having it delivered, it would surely be even more expensive when taking into account fees and tip. Hope this helps!

I have to mention the beautiful decor, which is very Italian islands. The place is a real treasure. Friendly staff, too. Dalfonso's is at 162 Allen Street in Buffalo, N. Y.

Kimchi, also spelled kimchee or gimchi, is a traditional fermented Korean side dish made of…read morevegetables with a variety of seasonings. There are hundreds of variety of kimchi made from napa cabbage, radish, scallion, or cucumber as the main ingredient. The most common seasonings include brine, scallions, ginger, garlic, shrimp sauce, oyster sauce, and fish sauce. -Wikipedia on kimchi ************************************** So I really just come to Lin Asian Market for their kimchi. I know it could seem silly to write a review for one item but there's only one other review for this place so I'll just share my experience! It's pretty fun to come here and be the lost minority person walking around as it's located in a pretty diverse part of town and I only see Asians walking in and out. The people here are so kind in helping out though - it's really sweet. The kimchi at Wegman's is pretty pricy so I thought there has to be a cheaper way to get this stuff. I don't see any Koreans at Wegman's (usually) and I know they must be buying it somewhere, right? I came in here and asked if they had it. It's stored in one of the coolers on the back wall and you can get twice as much for the same price here. It's crazy that Wikipedia says there's hundreds of varieties of kimchi. Whatever variety they sell here at Lin is so delicious. I will sometimes just stand in my kitchen eating it out of the jar with a fork. Supposedly there are recipes to use it for? Maybe one day I'll get tired of eating it raw. Plus, fermented foods are so good for you. Like so good. I haven't really tried anything else here. It's predominantly Burmese and Thai food but they carry other Asian specialties like kimchi. The rice bags they sell are of Thai origin. They sell all kinds of Asian produce. Their little produce section has stuff I never see at big grocery stores. Come and check it out - like M J's review said, they are super nice and helpful here.

One stop Southeast Asian shop…read more This small shop is packed from top to bottom with all kinds of Southeast Asian goodies. If you're interested in trying your hand at Burmese or Thai cuisine they've got everything you need at a reasonable price. I'm particularly impressed with the selection of fresh and unique produce. While there are several other shops on the area that sell similar items this store only stocks what it's customers want and they have a lot of them. This assures that you're not buying things that have been sitting on the shelves for years and that the produce is as fresh as can be. Not sure of what something is or not sure how to recreate your favorite Burmese or Thai dish? Ask one of the friendly and extremely helpful ladies at the counter.

I had some time to myself recently and I found a seat at the bar upstairs, amongst 100 or so of my new friends. I ordered a flight of five including 8 Days a Week, Brown Ale, Fall Harvest, Caramel Cookie Stout, and Irish Cream Ale. For food, island tacos and brisket tacos. With one taco order, crispy fries. The other, that zingy dressed salad. One of my brisket tacos was half fat and the server got me a fresh, overstuffed replacement. She earned a $10 tip for that.

If you order takeout, note you can go right in and up to the register (you don't need to wait in line). The line formed and was outside the door when we arrived! There was seating options inside and outside and all staff was helpful and kind. When we got home to dig in, we were amazed at the melt in your mouth bbq! We got the Texas Trinity to share with the Brisket Biriyani and beans as our side. The biriyani was a rice with brisket and amazing flavor. I'm not usually a huge rice lover but truly enjoyed this! The ribs were to die for and fall off the bone and the kielbasa was delicious! We also got a side of cardamom cornbread ( melt in your mouth!) and the cowboy Mac which my boyfriend absolutely loved. For dessert we got the cinnamon roll which was ginormous but good! Overall, amazing experience, food, and drink even with take out! We'll be back!
