Lee Lee International Market feels less like a grocery store and more like a love letter to the…read moreworld. In the West Valley, where the desert stretches toward the horizon, this place opens its doors and somehow makes the earth feel smaller. You walk in for a few ingredients and leave having wandered through a dozen countries without ever needing a passport. The abundance is almost overwhelming in the best possible way. An entire aisle devoted to noodles, shelves lined with teas that carry centuries of tradition, an eclectic produce section where purple sweet potatoes rest beside Asian pears, pandan leaves perfume the air, and every basket seems to hold a new story waiting to be cooked. Some of my favorite treasures are the bun bò Huế noodles, the purple sweet potatoes, crisp Asian pears, fresh pandan, and the endless array of fun drinks that always convince me to try something new. Every visit feels like a small adventure. And then there are the little surprises that make this place unforgettable: an incredible pho restaurant tucked inside, a jewelry shop sparkling quietly nearby, and families from every background filling their carts with pieces of home. What I admire most is that places like Lee Lee's do more than sell groceries--they preserve memory. They help grandparents pass recipes to grandchildren. They give immigrants a taste of familiarity. They invite curious people to discover cultures different from their own with open hands and open hearts. In a world that can feel increasingly divided, a market like this reminds us that one of the easiest ways to understand another person is to share what they eat, what they drink, and what they gather around the table. I am deeply grateful to have Lee Lee's in the West Valley. It is not just an Asian market. It is a crossroads of cultures, a celebration of tradition, and proof that sometimes the most beautiful journeys begin with a shopping cart.

Very bad news for vegetarians thinking they can come here and buy frozen mock meat products. They…read moredon't have any to sell. I spoke to the customer service guy, and he was politely vague. He said that the last brand didn't sell well and they put everything on sale to clear it out. He gave me an uncertain timeline of two weeks for a restock, but it didn't sound real. I am from out of town, and it's a two hour drive, and I came singularly for the frozen mock meat. I did walk the isles and they do have a lot of items to choose from that you will not find in a typical American supermarket, and I picked up some interesting sauces and condiments I hadn't seen before, which was good. Very, very bad was the bathroom. There was a pool of dirty water on the floor with a mop and pail. The latch on the single sit down stall was broken and I walked in on someone. The sinks are stained and dirty. The smell is bad and overwhelming. They need to clean it and wipe it down and fix the sit down stall latch. All in all, the store has a lot of asian products you will not find in supermarkets, they are comme ci, comme ça! ‍ on frozen mock meat products, and somebody really needs to clean their men's bathroom.

So much fun to find so many products that I grew up eating. I was particularly surprised and…read moreexcited to find ice creams like vegan Tortit and Fantasia ice cream cake. A good selection of of parve dairy free chocolates as well as dairy chocolates from Europe, Rifat cookies (Anise flavored Moroccan cookies) and a variety of other vegan cookies by Bakers Tales. Lots of Pereg spices like fenugreek for Yemenite Hilba, Yemenite Hawayej for soup etc. The prices for some products were lower than the prices at a nearby similar market. Definitly highly recommend for people missing food from Israel and those who are looking for vegan/ vegetarian items, Kosher, European food or just looking to try something new. The market is organized, clean and all the expiration dates seemed great. I can't wait to stop by again for some ice-cream and treats next time I pass through Phoenix.

I stopped in on a very specific mission: ingredients for a ridiculous pozole-pho fusion experiment. I'd already been to one of my usual Asian markets, forgot half of what I needed (because apparently I like making life difficult), and figured I'd give this place a shot. My first thought walking in was, "Oh, this is smaller than I expected." About three minutes later I realized, "No... it's just efficiently packed." The produce section keeps going farther than you think, the shelves are stocked with all the staples I recognize, and then you hit the meat department... and wow. Seafood, pork, lamb, goat, beef bones, organ meats--you name it, they probably have it. If you're looking for something that makes the average grocery store employee say, "We don't carry that," this is probably where you'll find it. I grabbed pho spices, fish sauce (and was genuinely excited to find a vegan fish sauce option!), two pounds of beef bones, and an onion for about $15. Honestly? I expected to spend more. I also stumbled across a Jamaican section, which completely caught me off guard in the best way. I was there with tunnel vision, otherwise I probably would've wandered around for another half hour convincing myself I suddenly needed ingredients for three different cuisines. The checkout was quick, the cashier was friendly, and while the parking lot was surprisingly quiet, don't let that fool you. This isn't one of those giant, chaotic destination markets, feels more like the neighborhood spot where people already know they can find what they need. It is nicely organized which made my quick stop in very easy. I'll definitely be back. Next time I'm giving myself permission to actually browse instead of speed-running my shopping list. Something tells me I'll leave with way more than I came for... and honestly, I'm okay with that.

My sister had gone in the day before to get some stuff before she went home to the boonies. I got jelly when she sent me a pic of the lychee viral ice cream!! You KNOW I had to get it, so off I went, lol. Not only did I find them in stock, but they had a sale going. 2 boxes for $20. Regular price is $10.99/box, so it's not a while lot of savings, but hey, I'll take it! Plus, $10.99 is the cheapest I've seen locally for a box of 3! I let the secret out so now I can only hope they still have some next time I go! When I checked out, I asked the cashier how long the 2 for $20 deal was going on. She didn't know, so grab some.while you can. I share because I care! =) I was glad to see the store has wide aisles and wasn't crowded. Also, there's a big parking lot shared with neighboring businesses so it's not an issue. The store is clean and the employees get you in and out fast! Can't wait for my next run!

I also get meat and fish there as they are nice and fresh. You can still get ground beef for 1.99lb fresh fish that still swimming and they clean and cut it for you. Lots of aisles of products from other countries like Holland India Africa and of course their specialty Asian cultures. They recently updated the store so lots of lighting and clean neatly organized shelves. What i dont like is that 1. the tags on the shelves don't match the scanned price so anything i buy in the aisles I take pictures of and have them correct it. 2. The staff is not friendly at all.

I love to stock up my my favorite Japanese loofah sheet towels, snacks and drinks, and dried seaweed etc. Don't forget to look in the back room, where they sell dvds and dishes. The bowls and dishes are especially nice! I love browsing there and also the kitchen utensils areas. This is really one of my favorite places to shop for Japanese items.
