    I have experienced better and I cannot understand the other reviews about Sun Oriental Market. I could not find redeeming qualities that would justify 5-star reviews. The reviews are what got me in the store as I was looking for an alternative to Lee Lee's which is SO far away. First, it's somewhat old and rundown which is fine, but almost everything in the store is dirty. Much of the merchandise appears to be very old and dusty. Aside from the dust, the old age is apparent with the products that are out of date. It's very easy to find products well-beyond their expiration date throughout the store. The floors aren't swept or mopped and most of the shelves are scantily stocked and disorderly. Freezer items appear freezer-burned, and the pricing is extraordinarily high. Selection is poor, at best. The "Oriental" in the name of the store could easily be more appropriately be "Korean" as most selections available are Korean-specific. That could be a major part of my disappointment as I was shopping for "Asian" selections; Thai, Japanese, and Chinese, specifically.

    kalua pig!! small kine expensive though..

    The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. The market has a variety of items and is clean and organized. I plan to become a regular.

    This corner store is packed with goodies! Lots of noodle varieties. Including refrigerated noodles,…read moreand fresh veggies. Many sauces and spices as well. They are the only store in tucson that carry my favorite instant noodles Soon vegan ramen! They also have a vegan kimbap. The owners are so nice.

    Jason was really nice and helped me buy Korean tea Solomon's root and they have Decaf Genmaicha…read more$6.99, both teas more difficult to source on the shelf. Then it was onto Mackerel where we talked texture, oily-ness of Norwegian (more oily like Koreans eat) vs Spanish $3.99#. Sold whole uncleaned $4.99#, I got 2 medium for $11.50. Hickory Smoked them for Chinese New Year celebration whole, they were excellent, simply salted 30 mins prior to firm up and season the fish. Also scored a packet of dried Kefir Lime Leaves for Thai curries $2.99. Store is packed with lots of finds, Japanese Beer, rice seasoning, seaweed, asian sauces, Sushi grade fish, octopus. Fresh section is more limited to Napa .99c/#, 12oz Beansprouts $1.49, Kim chi, mushrooms, ginger, etc. At at last Hubby was so happy to find something he liked looking at in a grocery store...tools, lol! A long pair of 24" scissors with serrated edges at very end, a Korean BBQ grabber for cooking $5.99. It's home however shall be found in the garage, for hard to reach screws and nuts, loosening them or placing them I'm told duh, What a bonus haha. Sandyi is my new go-to for Mackerel, sushi grade fish, Japanese & Korean staples, an easy corner lot stop with plenty of parking. Thanks Jason!

Smaller Japanese and Chinese sauce staples as well as cooking accessories and crockery here too. Found Salted Mackerel fillets and whole mackerel in the frozen doors and there are fresh offerings, kimchi, banchan and Kimbap made in-house. For Eastsiders, it's a must stop for rice and asian staples. Kamsahamnida!

    I was excited to visit Kimpo for their kimbop since I had seen online that they make it fresh…read more When we arrived they were already sold out and only had the imported frozen options, which were limited. We were told they make their fresh kimbop on Tuesdays and Fridays, so if that is the main reason for your visit it is worth planning around those days. I watch a lot of Korean shows, so when I saw Kopiko coffee candy I had to grab some. It is tasty and has a nice coffee flavor. From what I read online it has about 25 mg of caffeine per piece. Since I came for kimbop, I picked up the imported spicy tuna variety. It comes with three larger pieces. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks good. The shop is small, but I think I will enjoy it more once I get to try their fresh kimbop and other in house items. As far as snack variety goes, I wasn't too excited, but I'm looking forward to coming back on a day when the fresh items are available. Service was fast and efficient.

The bbq pork skewers were awesome. I loved the flavor and the good cuts of pork. The chicken adobo was good, less vinegary than we make it, but the pancit and lumpia were just like what my family makes. We make our lumpia thicker, so I was happy to see that these also had more filler than wrappers. It was like having a piece of home. Plus, the items in the store were great and I enjoyed looking around. I went twice within one week and would go back if I lived in the area!

I was hoping to find a Filipino restaurant that I could start visiting regularly, and I genuinely want to support a small local business like this. I ordered Combo #6, which came with pancit and two entrées. One of the entrées I selected was the longganisa (2 pieces), but when I got home, I realized I had been given lumpia instead. My second entrée was the chicken adobo, but unfortunately, the pieces I received were almost entirely bone with very little meat. To top it off, the pancit was quite soggy, which made the meal even more disappointing. I'm hoping I simply caught them on an off day, because this wasn't the experience I was expecting. I'd like to believe this isn't representative of the food they normally serve. I haven't decided if I'll give them another try, but I'm rooting for Sari Sari and truly hope they succeed.
